Peak City Puppy

Reviewers consistently report feeling at ease leaving their dogs in Peak City Puppy's care, particularly praising named sitters like Jenny, Rebecca, Jen, Celeste, Rachel, Michele, Audrey, and Elizabeth for their attentiveness and genuine affection toward the dogs. The business stands out for sending photos and visit updates after each appointment, flexible scheduling that accommodates medical emergencies and changing needs, and responsive communication through their app. Service experience varies by care type: pet sitting in sitters' homes, in-home pet sitting, and dog walking all draw strong praise for consistency and care quality. The main friction point is billing practices, where a small number of reviewers reported unexpected charges and disputes over a no-refund policy; one also flagged concern about the scope and reliability of services not matching promises.
