Dog Sitting in Cayucos

Our Cat “Big” was sorry that we came home after being gone for a month! Judy is loving, organized, & completely reliable. She took great care of Big, our interior & exterior plants, & mail, etc… We highly recommend July to taking care of your home and fur babies while you are away!

Absolute God send. Contracted to cover my dogs for three days and due to an emergency in our family out of town she ended up helping us for months! So easy to work with, very understanding. The boys say hi!

Judy stayed overnight with my dog and cat for four days, visiting them twice during each day. My pets were very happy with her. Thank you Judy.

Judy is reliable and my dogs love her. I appreciate how accommodating she is with scheduling, meds, and special needs. I don’t worry about a thing when she cares for my dogs.

Judy provided excellent loving care for my two outdoor cats. Sometimes they can be tough to wrangle in at night, Judy got them in with no problems. She also brought to my attention our leaky water heater preventing damage, as well as bringing in packages that had been delivered. She could have ignored both but went beyond what was expected. I feel confident in having Judy watch my animals and be in my home.

Judy is great! We had a last minute trip out of town and Judy was so flexible and accommodating to us and our pet’s needs. We felt 100% confident leaving our pets in her care. She is very responsive and dependable. I will definitely be using Judy again soon in the future!

Your fur babies are in great hands with Judy. She's trustworthy, kind, and very knowledgeable about cats and dogs. We've had the pleasure of her services for years and highly recommend her for your pet care needs...our three cats do too!

Judy was professional, attentive, and clearly cares about the animals she sits for. She sent us updates and pictures which was very nice. She was also flexible and willing to provide a combination of check-in and overnight services to accommodate my cats' needs. I would absolutely recommend her services.

Our two kitties are our "kids", so we did extensive research for pet sitting services. We had never left them under someone else's care and we were apprehensive. Judy has the experience and expertise that sets her above other services we considered. We came home to two relaxed, well-cared for cats. Peace of mind is an excellent benefit! We're so thankful for Judy--she's a true animal lover! We look forward to calling her again.

Judy is amazing! She is super caring and attentive to our cats’ needs. We love our pets and trust her whole heartedly with their care. Highly recommended!

Claire and Willian and all the trainers at Tired Tails are absolutely amazing. A lifelong dream of mine was to adopt a dog of my own. Shorty after turning 18, I fell in love with a fearful, sickly puppy that most likely would’ve been euthanized while volunteering at the animal shelter. I took her to every trainer in the county as soon as she was well enough to start training, and Tired Tails was the answer to all my hopes and dreams. Ivy was not succeeding in indoor positive reinforcement only group classes and I was told she was reactive by multiple trainers there. A “Feisty Fido” group class was not the answer to helping my fearful puppy succeed in life. We’ve only been with Tired Tails for about a month, and the confidence i’m already starting to see in Ivy is truly incredible. They tailor your dog training experience to you and your dog and will help you succeed in life. They prepare you and your dog for any and every real-life situation.They make well rounded, TRAINED dogs- not dogs that can just “behave” in one specific environment. xoxo -Liora and Ivy

We have done a ton of private sessions with Nick & I cannot recommend working with Tired Tails enough! Nick worked with our schedule, came to us, and even met us at the beach to work on getting our pup more settled at the beach! We are so grateful for all of the time Nick spent with our puppy, and look forward to continuing to train her with the rest of Tired Tails for group classes!!!!

I’m SO grateful to have found Tired Tails! Claire, Willam, Nick and Katherine have all been so wonderful. I adopted a very sweet and energetic 1 yr old doodle and was in serious need of guidance and tools to meet her needs. I’ve done private at home visits, summer school walks and pack practice. My new dog is doing great! We couldn’t have done it without the TT team.

Tired Tails came very highly recommended from previous/current clients of theirs that is a close friend, with a high energy and well trained Labrador, so we knew they were the real deal. We were a little intimidated bringing our new large breed puppy, Red, home (and we are seasoned dog people!). He was already 6 months old and had only known life on a farm (no collar, leash, inside time, etc.), so starting from scratch at an older puppy age was going to be a journey! Claire took the time to call us before we even picked him up to walk us through first steps and new pup protocol, as well as invite us to participate in group walks the first week we had him to acclimate to the new environment. Both Claire and William’s patience, experience, and thorough care are obvious! We felt so much more at ease bringing Red home, and know we’ve got trainers that will continuously support us. We’ve done multiple group walks/trainings, an at home visit, and overnight 5 day boarding with Claire and William, and I cannot speak more highly of them and their whole team. Red has blossomed into a wonderful and socialized puppy, and we are excited to keep on this training journey with Tired Tails, as Red’s training has only just started!

We can’t say enough about Claire and her husband William and the entire tiredtails community! Claire and William trained/fostered our Siberian husky, Echo, for three months before he found us and his forever home. He had been abandoned and abused and was fearful of people. He wouldn’t even come out of the crate initially because he was so afraid of being around humans. They worked diligently with him and were patient and consistent with his training. He made huge leaps and bounds in his recovery under their care. We couldn’t believe what a wonderful dog he was when he came to us!! Before we brought him home, they sat down with us and gave lots of tips to help us and Echo be successful with his transition into our home. The advice really came in hand many times! They are both very knowledgeable! We travel for work and they have been very receptive/supportive with his continued training via FaceTime sessions and calls. They are approachable and encouraging! Their compassion and true love for animals shows through in their work! We definitely plan on using them in the future for their board and train services when we travel abroad. We are so thankful for the kindness and love they showed to Echo and for their continued support. Becca, Adoria, and Echo 🐾

I cannot recommend Claire and William from Tired Tails highly enough! They have truly transformed my experience with my 6-month-old Boston Terrier, Milo. When I reached out to them in June 2023, my goal was simple: I wanted to be able to walk Milo calmly in public spaces, particularly at places like the grocery store where he had been struggling. From our very first session, Claire and William demonstrated an incredible level of expertise and compassion. Their training methods are not only effective but also engaging for both me and Milo. They took the time to understand Milo's behavior and tailored their approach to meet his specific needs. I was amazed at how quickly they were able to identify the root of his anxiety and barking in public. One of the standout features of Tired Tails is their commitment to ongoing support. Claire and William have been incredibly responsive to all my questions, no matter how small. They genuinely care about their clients and their furry companions, making me feel confident that I am not just another client, but part of a community. The group classes they offer have been invaluable for Milo's socialization. These sessions not only provide him with the chance to interact with other dogs but also allow me to learn alongside other dog owners who are facing similar challenges. I've seen a remarkable improvement in Milo’s behavior during our outings, and he is now much calmer and more relaxed in public settings. What I appreciate most is the trust I have developed with Claire and William. Knowing that I can leave Milo in their capable hands is a huge relief. Their passion for dog training shines through in every interaction, and I feel fortunate to have found such dedicated trainers. If you’re looking for professional, compassionate, and effective dog trainers, look no further than Claire and William at Tired Tails. They have truly made a difference in both my life and Milo’s, and I look forward to continuing our training journey with them!

Love these guys and all their programs. They offer tons of different ways to help build a better relationship with your dog from 30 minute classes to all day adventures. They have built an awesome community of clients and there’s a reason they are so popular. Highly recommend.

Claire and the Tired Tails team are AMAZING! She boarded and trained our 5 month old Lagotto puppy, Monty for 3 weeks. We could not be happier with our decision to have Claire work her magic with Monty. She worked on socialization (with other dogs and humans of all ages), walking, leash work, place work and much more. She would take him to the beach, breweries, wineries, farms, downtown, pretty much everywhere you would want to bring your dog. Monty was truly apart of her home and I knew he was safe and in great hands! She was extremely responsive the whole time. Along the way she was giving constant updates with photos and videos of Monty’s progression. We look forward to staying in touch with her. Thank you, Claire!

I don’t have enough good things to say. Not only is Claire an inspiration when working with your dog, but she’s an inspiration in how she lives her life. she is an example of doing what you expect your clients to, leading with kindness, eliminating shame & insecurities & making sure your dog and you live your best lives.

Claire & Nick are both amazing. We brought home our dog Vivian from woods and she was a little rambunctious! We have a 8mo old baby at home so the house was pretty hectic. Just in the few weeks we’ve been utilizing there flexible services, we already notice a huge difference. She’s much calmer and more composed. Gives us and our house more respect and is getting used to loving her crate & place ! We can’t wait to continue to work with Claire , Nick & Vivian and build a great relationship with our dog. Highly recommend 10/10
