      <image:title>Home - Care by an experienced, calm, and compassionate professional with dog training from the SPCA and as a Veterinary Assistant from Foothill College. Approach centered on what matters most to you and your pet. At Happy Tails, the focus is on individualized attention, positive reinforcement, and enriching outdoor experiences. I have experience working with dogs of all temperaments and am comfortable caring for senior pets and those with special needs. I bring compassion, love, and a strong understanding of animal behavior, safety, and handling. Every pet is unique, and I take the time to understand their personality, routine, and specific needs. I build trust at their pace. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playful adventures, or quiet companionship, I tailor my care to ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.</image:title>

      <image:title>Home - “Finding the right person to care for a dog like Gesso felt, at times, impossible. He was deeply fearful, and at times could be aggressive. Gesso was a dog who kept his circle very small and his trust even smaller. And yet, Sabina became one of his people. What stood out most about Sabina was her patience and intuition. She never tried to rush Gesso or force a connection. Instead, she met him exactly where he was, earning his trust slowly, gently, and on his terms. Over time, something remarkable happened: Gesso chose her. Aside from us, she became his favorite person—a testament to the care, consistency, and huge heart she brings to her work. We always felt a deep sense of relief leaving Gesso with Sabina, knowing he was not only safe, but truly understood and loved. She has a rare ability to read dogs who are anxious or reactive and to respond in a way that builds confidence rather than fear. If you have an easy, social dog, Sabina will be wonderful. But if you have a dog who is more complex—fearful, sensitive, or reactive—she is extraordinary. We are endlessly grateful to her for giving Gesso a relationship built on trust, and for giving us peace of mind that is hard to put into words” - Kristina email sabinahentz at gmail.com text 650 - 793 - 3215</image:title>

      <image:title>How it started - How it all started…</image:title>
      <image:caption>After 20 years of co-owning and managing a successful yoga studio—that was voted the best in town by the Mountain View Voice nearly every year, alongside a 4.5-star Yelp rating—it all came to an end with the pandemic.  Fortunately, similar to so many of us, I finally had time to reflect on where my life took me—and reconnect with one of my earliest and deepest passions. Ever since I was a child, I was that kid that brought home stray dogs, injured birds or homeless kittens. And the family farm back at home in Latvia, provided early training with horses, cows and sheep. Whether it was a fearful dog who needed a little encouragement and a sense of structure and stability to feel more comfortable or a blind horse that needed extra support, caring for animals always brought me more joy than any other work I’ve done.  I have spent my whole life with dogs, either with my own or helping others. I have taken five trainings on dog behavior with the SPCA and private trainers. I have 10 years of daily horse caring experience and have fostered horses with the DPS Rescue. In 2014, my Tennessee Walking Horse Bandit joined our family and it was the best decision of my life. He brings joy, happiness, and meaning without fail every day.   Whether you have that overly exuberant pup that has to jump on everyone to say hello or one that is more shy and withdrawn, I’d love to get to know them and learn from you and your pet how we can bring out his or her best version.   I feel at my best when I can spend time with your pets and horses and understand their personality—what makes them happy, what triggers their fears, favorite activities, toys, treats—and get as many tails wagging, individually or as a part of our happy crew!</image:caption>
