Testimonials

“Sit Stay Play is truly a gem- we feel so lucky to have found them! From the moment we dropped off our dog, we knew she was in the best hands. The staff is incredibly reliable, attentive, and kind. You can tell they genuinely love what they do, and it shows in the way they care for each and every dog like their own.”
– Client

“Zac is AMAZING! My 6 month old white Lab had already attended a 8 week puppy class… came back to an entirely different dog. Husband was SUPER impressed! Now we have to learn how to work better with her. OMG she is so amazing… I am looking forward to working with Zac in the near future to get her final Therapy dog certification.”
– Client

“We originally brought our dog to SIT-STAY-PLAY for obedience training, and the impact of that training is still very much in effect today. Zach’s expertise and approach to training have left a lasting impression… SIT-STAY-PLAY has become a non-negotiable choice for us when we need boarding.”
