TESTIMONIALS
Diana:
I have worked at Tails Up Pet Care for about a year and a half and I have a great day at work every day. Nothing beats hanging out with great pups, getting so much love from them, and working outdoors. Some of them have been at Tails Up a lot longer than I have and know the routine better than i do. I love working for Lucy because of her great and steady clients and well behaved pups, pet care can get overloaded and messy, but Lucy always looks to find the best fit for the clients and dog handlers as well. The schedule is another thing that works very well with me, I get to finish at a good hour and still have a chance to make good money. I came in with a fair knowledge of dog behavior but I have had the chance to learn so much more from day to day on walks and our daily park outings in out beautiful Palo Alto scenery. I recommend this job if you are planning to build a somewhat lasting relationship with the job since clients like steadiness and if you love spending time with lovely dogs.
Kyra:
Working for Tails Up has been the best job I've had. The steady workload has been nice for a predictable paycheck. On top of having the benefit of knowing you have money coming in every month and how much to expect. The amount is rather good for the time and effort you put in. Plus you get to spend your day with sweet pups! I have greatly enjoyed working with Lucy. While very organized and knowledgeable, she is also flexible and understanding. I can't say I've had a better boss. I had no issues while working at Tails Up, all the dogs are incredibly friendly and loving and my co-workers have been kind and supportive. It is important with this job to be a team player because being flexible with covering other people means they are more than willing to help you out if you need time off.
