| We cannot say enough good things about Eve, Adelle, Lewis & their family!! We had to travel cross country to Seattle for a huge surgery & made special arrangements to bring our Min-Pin, Miles, with us. We knew he would be happier having company while I spent 10 days in the hospital. Eve is such a dog person, she spent at least 40 minutes acquainting herself with Miles & helping him meet the other dogs in her family. Their home is exactly the environment we had in mind. We wanted Miles to be right with their family when he could not be with us. Her back yard is big yet safe & a doggie heaven! Miles returned to us well rested & happy. He seemed to enjoy his time at his Fairy Dogmother’s tremendously! We’d recommend My Fairy Dogmother to everyone! And a huge thanks to Eve for taking such good care of Miles, especially in our time of crisis! |

| Earlier this spring, my wife and I decided to get a puppy. After doing our research we decided on a Vizsla and located a reputable breeder. The next litter was due in April and we could take him home eight weeks later in late June. Soon after we put down our deposit, my brother-in-law announced his wedding date was to be over the 4th of July weekend. By that time, we would only have had our puppy for one week! We were really torn about what to do. Should we try and take him with us? Should we put him in a kennel? Neither option sounded very good to us. A ride on an airplane would be stressful enough and boarding him in a kennel was not the experience we wanted him to have so early. |
| After doing some research online, I came across a link to My Fairy Dogmother on the Puppy Manners website, which also happened to be the obedience school we had enrolled our puppy in. My Fairly Dogmother offered puppy sitting services in a safe home environment, where our puppy would have the opportunity to socialize with other dogs and be able to continue his potty training. Perfect! |
| I immediately contacted Eve Pickard of My Fairy Dogmother to find out more. Eve explained to me that she only took in 2, and on rare occasions 3, puppies into her home at any given time. She would continue early puppy training and would take our puppy to class at Puppy Manners during his stay. Moreover, she gave me all kinds of tips to get ready for the arrival or our new puppy. I was already feeling at ease about leaving our puppy with her during our trip. |
| The day we were to pick up our puppy to bring home for the first time, I contacted Eve to confirm his reservation at My Fairy Dogmother. I had mentioned to Eve that it had been a while since I had a puppy and was a little nervous. Moreover, this was going to be my wife’s first puppy and she didn’t feel like she was fully prepared for this. Then she told me about her puppy consultation service, where she comes to your home to help you prepare for your new arrival. So I immediately took Eve up on her offer. |
| That turned out to be the right decision. Our little guy was pretty scared when we brought him home and seemed very shy. Eve gave us some great tips on how to get him comfortable and relaxed being with us. In addition, she gave us feeding instructions, recommendations on food, treats, and potty training. She also inspected the house for any dangerous items that a puppy could get into. I can’t tell you how much that helped. We were more confident handling our puppy, he quickly broke out of his shy phase and was more confident in social situations, and we got a head start on teaching good habits. If you’re going to bring home a new puppy, I strongly recommend a consultation from My Fairy Dogmother. |
| Finally, the day came to drop our puppy off at My Fairy Dogmother. Eve introduced us to her family and then introduced our puppy to her own dogs. After a few cautious moments, our puppy was playing with the other dogs and having a wonderful time. We thought he was going to be sad and that we were going to feel bad for dropping him off in a strange place. But instead, our little guy was having such a great time that he didn’t even notice we left the room! Eve assured us he would have a good time and would also not forget us! |
| We left for the wedding feeling great and feeling confident in our decision to board him at My Fairy Dogmother. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing he was in Eve’s care. When we returned our puppy was a little bit bigger, more confident, and well on his way to being a socialized puppy. And, yes, he still remembered us and was very excited to go home! |

| We were nervous about leaving our five-month-old puppy with someone elsefor four days, but when we came to pick up Kodi he was having such a blast that he didn’t want to come home! We really appreciated the photo album of our pup playing with his new buddies, as well as Eve’s suggestions for what to work on with Kodi’s training. |

| Eve Pickard truly is our KD's Fairy Dogmother. We found ourselves needing to find a puppy sitter at the last minute and Eve came to our rescue. Having never met Eve before we both felt comfortable when we left KD with her. When we picked our little girl up she was happy and healthy and obviously well cared for. We will never trust our little girl with anyone else when we go on vacation. |

| When we got back from our short getaway, it was evident that Ginger had been completely integrated within Eve's family and showed so many signs of having thrived there and having been well treated that we were debating which one of us had had the better time :) - she got the fairy dogmother treatment for sure. |

| Once again thank you for taking such good care of Riley. The photo album was a very nice treat and we really appreciated everything. Riley seems to be doing just fine at home. |

| Whether it’s just for a day, or being out of town on business for 2 weeks, I trust Eve entirely with my two puppies. Josie and Cora always have fun, and I enjoy how they are taken in as part of the family during their visits. Lewis, their assistant lab, makes a wonderful play companion and has a calming effect on Josie and Cora. Any overnight stay is more like a puppy slumber party than just being away from home! |
| Eve has the talent of letting my puppies be puppies through lots of playtime, helping with training in a positive, patient manner, and providing them with a very cozy puppy room for their resting times. She enjoys what she does and it’s easy to see. As an example, Eve created a photo album for me of the pups’ adventures during their stays. I felt this was a very personal touch, and for me, shows her dedication to their well being by seeing how happy they are in every picture! For Josie and Cora, and my peace of mind, Eve really is a Fairy Dog Mother… |

| Just wanted to thank you again for taking care of Max. He loves your Bed and Breakfast (Lunch and Dinner). It is no surprise that he actually prefers your house over his own with the care and attention you give him. Thanks for helping him... work on his manners, he comes back a better dog every time. You are wonderful, thanks again. |
