My dogs nearly knocked me down trying get in his car this time. That’s all I ever needed to know !!!

We are so fortunate to have found Branden! He worked with Ruby and her anxiety and excitement around his pup. He was very communicative and patient and sent us updates about her progress. Wonderful caretaker!

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL CARE! My Dog came home happy, & enthusiastic! Great, Great care-communication and follow-ups. Thank you again!

I appreciate the care Branden provided my two dogs while I was away. He took very good care of them.

Amazing experience. Branden was great with responding, attentive to my questions and concerns and followed up with updates on my dog while away. I was extremely nervous about using this service but Branden helped put those concerns to the side and made this awesome.

My dogs always come back happy. Branden is communicative and on point. I will always use Alpha Paws Academy for them.

Branden is fantastic, this is the second time he has watched my large dog and he has been a pleasure to work with and took great care of our fur baby!

Branden was absolutely AWESOME!!!!! The daily communication (initiated by him 🙌🏾) made my time away easier knowing that my fur baby was in PHENOMENAL hands!! Upon returning, he even gave me invaluable tips that I could use to help my dog!! I will ALWAYS look to use Alpha Paws in the future!

Branden has been watching Ash for me regularly, and I couldn’t ask for a better experience. He’s incredibly attentive and consistently goes above and beyond to make sure Ash is well cared for. Communication is always smooth, and he’s very cooperative with any requests or updates I have. It’s clear he genuinely cares about the pets he looks after, which gives me peace of mind every time I leave Ash with him. Reliable, responsible, and easy to work with. Everything you’d want in someone caring for your pet. Highly recommend!

Branden was wonderful with Bruno, who loves a lot of attention. He was responsive when I checked in and also provided updates. He was flexible with drop off and pick up times. I'm very careful who I leave my Bruno with, and I will book with Alpha Paws again.

Branden was able to look after Archer on short notice. He was very professional and confident, and sent pictures. Looking forward to booking with you again. Thanks so much!

Branden, thank you for the loving care and fun time you shared with my Hugo! I can tell that he was very happy and enjoyed the extra love from your wife as well! I would recommend Alpha Paws to any family looking for a setter that is professional, loving, caring, and trustworthy! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫Thank you, Jacci, Thomas, Hugo & family

Branden was great with Quincy and has been consistently easy to work with, flexible, and in tune with my pup’s needs and personality. As Quincy is a little older now, Branden always provides a behavior report upon pick up and shares his insight on best practices. I’m super grateful to have found him! Highly recommend!

Branden was amazing with my puppy Maci. His communication was awesome and he was really flexible with me having an emergency change. Definitely going to rebook!

Amazing service and available during a short notice emergency trip. Took great care of our little guy and provided updates along the way.

As always, Alpha Paws did a wonderful job with my dog. Sage is older and has a new medical condition, so I was naturally a little nervous about leaving her. Branden was incredibly attentive—carefully monitoring her symptoms, making sure she received her medications on time, and keeping me updated on how she was doing. He even gave her a bath after noticing snow melt on her paws from their walk, which I really appreciated. I always feel at ease leaving Sage because I know she’s in caring, capable hands. Highly recommend!

Alpha Paws was a pleasure to work with in caring for my dog. Branden was available to answer any questions regarding my dog and his stay. I would definitely recommend him and use him again.

Branden is fantastic every time I book with him for boarding my mini schnauzer. Professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable about dogs, I always feel complete confidence when my pup is in Branden’s care. He is very attentive, sends regular updates and photos/videos, and Quincy is always in great spirits when he comes home. Will happily continue to book with Alpha Paws.

Branden is very nice and accommodating. My baby is happy to see him at each drop off.

Alpha Paws came through clutch in caring for my Boykin Spaniel, 2Pac, over the holidays while we were traveling internationally. Branden lives in a good neighborhood and is super flexible on pick up and drop offs. He will send the occasional updates with pictures/videos as requested. And I never had any caretaking concerns, from administration of snacks/meals to ball time to functional walks. Would book again.

Alpha Paws is AWESOME with my fur son. If they can’t keep him, I’ll edit my plans. Kofi loves him. Branden is attentive and keeps you up to date while he’s sitting your pet. I refer my friends to him.

Alpha Paws is a godsend!!! Not only is Branden gentle and caring with my shy puppy, but he was extremely accommodating when I had a last-minute boarding request that needed to be modified. I'll definitely use him for all future needs!

Alpha Paws was great! Definitely would rebook.

I highly recommend Alpha Paws. I've used him numerous times, and he is on point. Customer service is top tier. My dog doesn't like most people, but he loves when Branden sits for him.

Alpha Paws did such a great job taking care of Lucy! Branden was responsive and soooo easy to work with. I highly recommend his services.

Branden was great! My pup was well taken care of, and I loved the updates he sent while I was away. Thank you for being so reliable — I’ll definitely book again!

Great communication and great energy. I plan to utilize Alpha Paws in the future! Thank you! 🫡

When I couldn’t book with my go to, I was immediately stressed out. I have large breed dogs who are sweethearts but not everyone is comfortable with larger dogs. I did not have to worry. Branden was super kind and my dogs loved him. He even turned around to go bath them after one got sick from the car ride. I will definitely be booking Alpha Paws again because their attitudes told me everything I needed to know.

Alpha Paws provides the best care and is very flexible. My Sockey loves Branden!!!

Alpha Paws is great! I will only leave my fur son with them.

Easy to work with and took good care of our large dogs, thanks!

Branden was great with Chino! This was my first time boarding my 8 year old German Shepherd. Branden communicated with me daily on how Chino was doing and sent videos as well. I will absolutely be booking with Branden again!

Alpha Paws has done a great job in taking care of our dogs during short stays. Both dogs seem happy to see Branden whenever I drop them off and are in great spirits when I pick them up. He sends photos whenever I ask and gives me updates on their behavior when I pick them up. He communicates very well and is easy to get in touch with. He's definitely our go-to sitter whenever we need someone to take care of our dogs.

Alpha Paws was FANTASTIC! Excellent communication and took great care of my mini schnauzer who is often quite vocal but was very calm and cooperative from the second he met Branden. I was grateful for Branden’s ability and willingness to administer medication, overall attentiveness to my pup, and very easy to work with demeanor. Highly recommend.

Once again Branden did a great job taking care of Kobe. would definitely use him again in the future.

We love Alpha Paws! Quavo and Branden hit it off immediately on his first stay, so we had to return! We have an American Bully and Branden was familiar with the breed and that made me (Mom) feel good! Branden instills good training habits with Quavo when he stays, he eats his food (which he normally doesn't when away from home with other sitters), and gets good exercise in. Branden provides routine updates, very responsive to all types of communication and extremely professional. Branden was available for a last minute request and we appreciated his flexibility. Branden is our guy and we will definitely book with Alpha Paws again in the future! Highly recommend!

Branden is an EXCELLENT sitter and dog coach. I’ve worked with him several times over the past few years and he goes out of his way to be flexible and caring. He is my go-to person. Highly recommended!

Thank you for taking good care of Kobe!

Great! Alpha Paws Academy went above and beyond!

Branden took great care of our pup, we'll definitely rebook with him again!

Branden did a wonderful job keeping my Siberian husky (Kobe) for a weekend. He forwarded photo updates to me while I was out of town. Upon pickup, Kobe was his usual self, very energetic and tail happily wagging. If available, I plan to book Alpha Paws again in the future.

Branden was flexible, professional, and very helpful. I felt completely at ease leaving Sage with him. He’s clearly knowledgeable and comfortable with dogs, which gave me a lot of peace of mind.

Branden did an OUTSTANDING job with our boys. They can be a handful sometimes especially outside, but he handled both of them by himself getting them into his vehicle with no problem. Oh yeah, annnnd he provided pick-up & drop-off service.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 ☺️ BRAVO!! I could tell they really enjoyed their stay with him! I will definitely be booking with Alpha Paws again!! Thank you Branden!

Gaudi thoroughly enjoyed his time with Branden! He was very attentive and communicative.

Branden was exceptionally responsive and attentive to our two pups. I felt at ease knowing he was taking good care of our pups. Will def be booking again!

Branden was awesome with my senior dogs Willow & Jada. As this was their first time with him. He was very patient with me in answering all of my questions. He provided daily updates and a few pictures to calm my fears. When I picked them up, they appeared to be very happy and loved the whole time. I will definitely book Alpha Paws again for my next vacation.

This was our first time using Alpha Paws Academy and Branden is absolutely amazing. Apollo is a better dog and we can tell that Branden spent a lot of time with him especially since he is a puppy in training. He also gave us great advice. We will definitely utilize them in the future.

Alpha Paws is great to work with. Their hours for drop off and pick up are flexible and our dogs seemed to enjoy their stay. I will definitely book with them again.

Branden did great with my puppy, Dulce. He was responsive when I checked on Dulce and I felt comfortable leaving my furbaby in his care.

Great sitter! He took awesome care of Obi and Bella while I was away! Pleasantly surprised that they both felt very comfortable with him, highly recommend!

This is Bria’s 2nd time with Alpha Paws and again no issues!!!! He is so friendly, very responsive to messages whenever I send one and he also sends messages with updates which I love!!!! Thanks Branden see you next time!!!!

Alpha Paws was great with both dogs and will definitely use again.

Alpha Paws was amazing! I boarded my dog for the weekend and Branden was very friendly, responsive, and took great care of my pup!

Both pups seem to enjoy their time! Will be returning for future services.

Alpha Paws was very good with my pup. Responded to messages timely, and sent videos of my pup from time to time while I was away…. Definitely will use them again as Cairo's sitter.

Branden was great!!!! He was friendly and very polite during our first meeting. This was Bria’s first time away from home and I was so nervous. But Branden’s warm spirit calmed my fears. He sent videos during her stay and she looked happy and was having fun!!! Thank you again sooooo much Alpha Paws. I will definitely book again!!

Branden took Anubis for a nature walk which is something we have a hard time doing due to work schedules. I love that Anubis was able to spend more time outside exploring under Alpha Paw's care.

Branden was great with Major, he had a great time.

Always great and available. Thanks Alpha Paws!

Definitely a choice you won’t regret! He took great care of my boy Adonis. They had a lot of fun together and took long walks which is amazing for my boy with a lot of energy. He also went the extra mile with applying some care tips. I definitely recommend Branden and I look forward to using his service again!!!

First time using Alpha Paws and Branden. We are truly happy and appreciate how he sent pics kept us up to date everyday. We will definitely ask you to keep Po in the future. Thank you!

Branden is my fur baby, King's new best friend! This was our first time with King going to a sitter and we all were pleased with Branden's care. King came home happy & healthy! We will return when we need services again in the future. Branden thank you for the walks and comforting care you provided King.

Branden was very accommodating even with a last minute request for boarding. Chloe came back home very happy and it was evident that she’d had a comfortable stay. I appreciated the check-ins and even her drop off. Will definitely book again in the future!

Branden always takes such amazing care of Rawley! Throughout her stay, he sent me updates and kept me up-to-date on how she was doing. We are grateful for Branden!

Branden was extremely pleasant to work with. I was anxious to leave my energetic puppy with him because my Biscotti can be a handful. I was reassured at every turn and I’m so grateful. Biscotti didn’t want to leave. I highly recommend Branden.

Alpha Paws Academy remains Archie’s home away from home.

Branden took amazing care of my dog Thunder…I appreciated the up to date messages as well as photos…he treated my dog as if it was his own….if you are looking for someone to care for your pet he is now my families go to person…Amazing job Alpha Paws!

Branden took such great care of my schnauzer! He made my pup feel comfortable and safe. I remained at ease throughout my entire time away due to my confidence in Branden! Book Alpha Paws! You won’t be disappointed.

Branden is the best. He has earned complete trust with our dogs! Highly recommend.

Branden was very communicative throughout my dog’s boarding. He sent pictures and videos and made me feel comfortable about her staying away for the first time.

Archie’s visit with Branden continues to be a great adventure for Archie. My 4 legged boy is always returned to me ready for an all day nap.

I don't have words..... the only being happier than my 3 pups, is ME. I felt so completely at ease and confident that I'd left them in good hands- especially my Stella who has had a 50/50 success rate with her sitters. Branden's knowledge, calm and just overall demeanor (for dogs AND people) gave me an incredible amount of comfort that id not had leaving her with other people. He is AMAZING! He informed me that my Stella is NOT aggressive- just unsure. He took the time and has the knowledge. If you have a nervous, anxious puppy (regardless of size or age), do yourself a favor and leave them with Alpha Paws Academy. Now, I can finally make plans to travel!

I am extremely impressed with Alpha Paw's care of Zulo during the Thanksgiving holiday. Zulo returned home happy, healthy, and, most importantly, in the same condition as when I left him. I know Zulo can be a bit of a handful, but Branden took on the responsibility with enthusiasm and exceeded all of my expectations. Branden’s communication was excellent throughout the entire stay. He kept me updated with photos and videos, showing that Zulo was content and well taken care of. Additionally, Branden was very accommodating when I made an error with the pick-up time. He proactively addressed the issue and went above and beyond to adjust his schedule to ensure everything worked smoothly for both Zulo and me. I will undoubtedly be rebooking Branden for all my future dog care needs and highly recommend him to my family

I recently had the pleasure of hiring Alpha Paws to care for my French Bulldog, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the start, Branden was professional, attentive, and incredibly kind to my pup. Branden took the time to understand my dog’s unique needs, including feeding schedules and walking routines. He provided regular updates, complete with videos and notes about how my dog was doing, which gave me total peace of mind. When I returned, my dog was relaxed, happy, and clearly well-cared for. It’s evident that Branden truly loves animals and treats them like their own. I highly recommend Alpha Paws for anyone seeking a reliable and compassionate dog sitter. I will definitely be booking their services again in the future! Thank you for taking such excellent care of my furry family member!

I was very scared to use a new sitter for my dogs. My dogs had a bad experience with my old sitter so I had to find a new one. Branden was great and my dogs took to him very well. He sent vids and always made himself available when I reached out. I will use him again and want him to be my primary sitter.

My dog is 10 and has never stayed away from home. So it was a test. But Branden’s patience was bar none. He kept me informed of what was going on. He was accommodating with all of Tony’s needs. I strongly recommend him and I will definitely take Tony back to stay with Branden.

Branden is amazing. His love and attn to dogs and my dog in general was bar none. Rome took to him immediately settled in and was sooo comfortable. He took pics and sent videos on a regular. Excellent sitter and will be utilized on a regular. I highly recommend him for your pet.

Branden to such great care of our Shaka - Very patient and knowledgeable about dogs. We would definitely recommend him and look forward to boarding with him again!

Branden was great! It was my first time leaving Queenie and she went right to him. He kept in constant contact with me and sent videos. I will definitely use Branden again!

Can’t say enough good things about Branden!! He took such good care of my dogs. I definitely recommend, and will use him again!!!!

Will book with Alpha Paws Academy EVERYTIME!! First time using him, and not only was the process seamless, Branden made us feel comfortable, super communicative, and took great care of our Murphy! I highly recommend :)

Thank you Branden for taking care of my boys. Both pups loved staying with Branden, especially Louie. That boy is not always quick to love on a human, but with Branden was different. He immediately liked him.

Branden makes Chelsea feel comfortable and safe during her walks. She also likes Branden's dog so she has a walking buddy.

Branden is an excellent dog handler. He is knowledgeable, sincere and conscientious about his job. I rely on him when it comes to anything Doggie related. My little Sage loves him so much. I have a sense of security when my Sage is with him. I highly recommend Branden's services; you and your pet will love him!

We boarded our 8-month-old lab mix for a two-week training stay, and the results blew us away! She came home calmer, better on leash, and finally listens to stay. Branden explained everything in detail and gave us follow-up tips. Totally worth it.

Alpha Paws Academy took amazing care of our dog while we were out of town for two weeks. We got daily updates and photos, and when we picked him up, he was happy and relaxed, not anxious at all like he’s been at other places. You can tell Branden truly loves what he does.

My rescue had major fear issues and didn’t trust anyone outside of me. Branden worked slowly and kindly, never pushing too fast. Now she greets people with confidence. It’s been life-changing for both of us.

I use Alpha Paws for weekend boarding when I travel. Branden treats my senior dog like family and always goes above and beyond to make sure she’s comfortable. Reliable, professional, and full of heart!

Before Alpha Paws, I honestly thought I’d never be able to take my dog on walks without pulling or barking at other dogs. Branden's behavior modification sessions were patient, thoughtful, and personalized. It’s like having a brand-new dog!

Our doodle was super shy around other dogs, but after a few socialization sessions at Alpha Paws, she’s running, playing, and actually enjoying herself! Branden creates such a safe environment for every personality type.

The group play sessions are a game-changer. Branden pays attention to every dog’s comfort level, and I love that he provides notes about who my pup played with that day. It feels like dropping her off at a trusted friend’s house.

Alpha Paws made me feel confident leaving my dog in their care. The combination of boarding and daily training made a huge difference. My pup came home well-rested, well-behaved, and still her playful self.
