Beth and Matthew have been my first house sitters - and I was their first house sit too. Beth and Matthew have been great. I was a little nervous as this was the first time I've the zeewoi platform and service. Beth contacted me to let me know that one of my dogs had a sore on her chest and sent me a video to let me see and decide what to do. We agreed my dog needed to be seen by a vet and within a few hours my dog had antibiotics. Beth even popped into a shop to buy my dog a jumper to wear as the vet had recommended this to stop her scratching the sore. When I got home Beth had washed all their bedding and the house was clean and tidy. Both Beth and Matthew are a lovely couple and I would definitely recommend them both if you are looking for reliable and trustworthy house and pet sitters.
Erica was great! Easy to communicate with and very self -sufficient when we ended up being out of service for several days. Pingo and the house were clearly in good hands, we came back to a spotless house with a freshly made bed and a happy dog. We'd definitely have Erica again!
I am so grateful to Victoria for taking such wonderful care of my elder cats,, Zoe and Mischief, my home and my garden! She stayed in touch, and even sent photos of Zoe and Mischief, which further reassured me that my kitties and my home were in good hands while I was away. In short, I feel lucky to have connected with Victoria through zeewoi, wouldn't hesitate to call on her again, and recommend her without reservation.
This was my first time using zeewoi. Not only did I have to prepare my home for a guest but prepare myself for leaving my boys with someone I had only met through a zoom call. Right away, I was put at ease as Sharon just gravitated right to my boys. She asked questions about info that I had missed in my welcome pack that made me rest assured that she was on the ball. Throughout my trip, Sharon kept in touch with me about how the boys were getting along... I was so relieved hearing that their usual playful selves was apparent. Given that our flight home was going to be late, she insisted on waiting until we were heading out of the airport before leaving the boys with their last walk until we came home. When we walked through our front door, the boys were chilling out, our home was spotless, and she even washed the bedding. I can recommend Sharon with 100% certainty that your pets will be in great hands. Thanks Sharon for everything.
Jaclyn was a wonderful sitter for our dog Tucker! She was always quick to respond to communications, she was easy-going and excited to sit with Tucker, she shared updates (with pictures) while we were away, and she left our house cleaner than when we left - she even ran the dishwasher, which we forgot to do before we left! She and Tucker bonded immediately, and when we returned home it was clear that he had a great time with Jaclyn. We can't recommend her highly enough!
I can’t say enough good things about Felicia! She was willing to come over ahead of time so we could meet her. Lele took an instant liking to her (and I think it was mutual).😁 Felicia showed up on time, checked in on a regular basis while I was away, and sent photos of Lele, too. I tend to over prepare, and Felicia was accepting of that and helped me feel okay about my preparation and absence. I felt very comfortable leaving, knowing the most important thing, Lele, was well taken care of. This is my first time using zeewoi, so I didn’t really know what to expect. Felicia far exceeded all of my hopes and expectations. I would absolutely love to have Felicia come back again!
I am so glad that my cat, Duque, and I met Sharon! She is a wonderful person, very kind with pets, thorough with house care and communicative. Sharon's cleaning (and brownies!) went above and beyond and my cat did not seem to have missed me much when I got home. I recommend Sharon if she applies for your sit and we hope to welcome her back to our home one day.
Julie and Adrian were ideal pet and house sitters. Julie and Damian are very friendly and made sure to go over details and ask questions when they arrived. We came home to very happy and contented pets. Our dog and cat clearly got lots of love and attention (also clear from the great photos that Julie and Adrian sent us). The house was immaculate when we came home. We could not ask for better, more trusted, house sitters.
Although they are experienced pet sitters this was their first sit with zeewoi and they were wonderful. Jyoti (our cat) was completely at ease and spent plenty of time on their laps. The chickens were well looked after and they managed the broody one efficiently. Excellent communication before and during the house sit. They followed our detailed instructions conscientiously and left the house clean and tidy. They cooked a meal for us on our return and we enjoyed getting to know them. We would welcome them back any time and highly recommend them for future sits.
Lea was so wonderful, we highly recommend her. She was friendly and communicative throughout, sending us daily updates and photos. We returned back to a beautifully cleaned house and a very happy cat, we are so grateful- she was an absolute delight
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least 29.99 per visit, $21/week per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
I had a 10 month old Pug puppy with housebreaking issues. I boarded Gracie with Dreamdogs for 7 days and she learned proper habits. However, as the owner I fell short of not following through with the training, even though the staff instructed me what to do when i picked her up. I returned her for a 3-day follow up because of my failure to follow instructions, and she is well on her way of letting me know when she needs to go outside. As a result of where I live, no pet owner can leave their pet because of coyotes that roam the area. The key to success is owner follow up. Dearmdogs did an excellent job.
This place meets the needs of every individual. I am handicap and first thing the trainer did was to make accommodations for my handicap which allowed me to work with my dog as a partner. The trainer worked closely with us to assure that every issue we had was worked on. Everyone who knows us has asked where we are attending classes as they have noticed a significant difference in my puppy. We will continue classes at Dream Dogs to further develop her skills.
Lori has been helping us with our reactive rescue dog. She gave us so many tips and tricks to help us. Our pup is doing so much better, and we can’t wait to sign up for some group classes once Merrell is able to do that. I always recommend Dream Dogs to everyone I know!
I have been taking my dogs to Lori at Dream Dogs since 1999 when we brought our new six-month-old Golden Retrievers to her to train. Many dogs later, we are taking our Golden Retriever and Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever to classes and doggy daycare. We even did Zoom classes with Lori during Covid. Our dogs have all had different needs and temperaments. Thankfully, Lori always has a solution. Dream Dogs is on my speed dial.
We’ve been using Dream Dogs for training and day care since our dog was a puppy and it’s the absolute best! We began with the Puppy class and learned lots of helpful tips. Lori and the other trainers are so knowledgeable, consistent and caring-as well as fun! We did some day training to help us with a few specific behaviors such as counter surfing and it was highly effective. Our dog LOVES going to daycare and we have found it to be a life saver since we are seniors and our dog is extremely active. We’ve also really enjoyed Barn Hunt classes as well as Agility classes. Lori’s (and other staff’s) organizational skills, consistency, dedication to animals, concerns for safety, combined with a loving and fun attitude make Dream Dogs our dream come true for surviving life with an adorable but wildly active Field Spaniel! Much appreciation goes out to the team.
We attended basic obedience classes at Dream Dogs when our dog was young and the following year signed up for additional one-on-one advanced training with Lori. Both were great experiences and our dog loved the “work”. Very positive experience and I highly recommend them. This is a photo of our pup playing a fun “sit-stay” game in group class.
Lori knows EVERYTHING about dogs and her team is incredibly good with our little pup. There's multiple indoor and outdoor spaces for the pack to run around, and the attention each dog receives is unique. Highly recommended for training, boarding or daycare.
Dream Dogs is a great school. I love the classes offered in Woof Pak. All of the trainers I have worked with are AMAZING! They make training my puppy so much easier. Thank you Dream Dogs for your professionalism and your dedication to the training of canines.
Amazing training & variety, Services, Grooming... 'Puppy school' graduates (...a rescued litter from May'24) All in happy adventure homes :)
Five stars is all I can give but honestly, we would probably give more if possible. We have two puppies, Bodie & Winslow. We were excited to learn about the WOOF PUP program for littles and immediately wrote to Lori to ask questions. Turned out to be the best choice ever. Woof PUP is just for Puppies under 5 months and is a 6 week program with Puppy Obedience taught once a week, Puppy Socialization & even a day care option if you choice to participate included. This was the best investment in these two little rascals and huge part of their well-behaved, growing personalities now. The program is all about learning to communicate with your puppy and learning the basics in the AKC Puppy Stars program: sit, down, stay, loose-leash walking, and coming when called. We discussed behavioral issues that may come up and how to address them. We got a potty training and digging log to observe how puppy was doing and to help course correct. We discussed a plan of action to redirect when bad choices are made by puppy haha. And there was critical socializing time with other appropriate level vaccinated puppies in a safe, controlled environment. At the end of every class, puppies got to go out to the fun daycare play area with their humans and Dream Dogs Trainers who helped guide puppies if they got too rough and directed humans on dog behaviors or answered questions. Super helpful even for people that considered ourselves good dog trainers. The location is so easy to get to in Bermuda Dunes, right off the 10. The "farm" as we call it, is AWESOME! There are chickens, Pigs, a Boar I think, cats, goats and I believe sheep. I'm sure there is more but haven't seen them. The great thing about going here is the exposure to strange sounds, smells and creatures. The play areas are in close proximity to those animals and it really is a great opportunity for your dog to learn more about the world. We show one of our puppies and I do believe the unusual noises, sounds, smells and places there at Dream Dogs contributed to his being calm, cool and collected at an AKC show. There are specialty classes you can attend like many levels of Agility, Barnhunt practice, Canine Adventure, Rally, Obedience, classes. All of which we are super excited about attending. Problems can be addressed individually for private training or even in home training. There are senior dog classes and more. Check out their website and be prepared to sign up! We can't wait to get these two back in for the next program which is WOOF PACK so we can work towards our Canine Good Citizen and then participate in the specialty classes. Call or email Dream Dogs if you need more info. Heck you can reach out to me if you need more info. We are pretty pro- Dream Dogs around here.
Mini had her 1st boarding experience in her 13 years. She was treated like the princess she is with her own room, plenty of other small dogs to visit with the windowed roo off the lobby. She was groomed ($60) and a very happy girl when
Biggie loves The Grand Paw. He comes weekly for daycare and most recently was boarded for over 2 weeks. The staff know him by name and always greet him with excitement. He comes home exhausted from playing with his friends and always looks forward to returning. Thank you to all the staff for all you do.
Our Sasha loves it here and I feel comfortable sending her. They make sure every dog’s vaccines are up to date, even if coming in for grooming only. They also do a temperament test with the new dogs to test how they behave with others. We have been so happy with the level of detail and care.
Pandemic Up Date-The Grand Paw is doing a pretty good job as they work through the issues associated with the COVID Pandemic. They now pick up you dog from the car, you do not go inside at all. They bring your pet out to you in the evening, so it is more-or-less touchless. They also have both masks and sanitizer out in the parking area so that you can sanitize if you like. Good job. But I miss the little shop and talking to the folks while waiting for our dog, Bailey to drag out the poor lad that has to tear him away from his play date. This is the doggy daycare and boarding place in the East Coachella Valley. It has nice facilities and reasonably good hours. They are not real flexible on times and policies. Not a deal as far as pricing goes but seem to take reasonable care of the pets. They have a little pet gift shop, mostly dog oriented full of overpriced things you can’t live without. The grooming function is not the best or least expensive. Ask about purchasing multiple use packages. Tuesday and Thursday they have pool time for Fido if your dog is so inclined. Separate small and large dog areas. They charge $25 bucks to qualify your dog’s behavior before you can bring him. Have all your shot information ready.
Our dog spent 5 days a this facility and he was bitten, wounds open when we picked him up. We were not told, until we contacted the facility, and replied with a typical template to respond to a complaint. Until today not a curtesy response. Disappointed, and furious, above all the rate charged, you will think your pet will be taken care of.
What a wonderful staff. I feel so comfortable and trust them to babysit my four legged family member. When leaving pets behind when circumstances require a helping hand - This is the place!
Brian, Ricky, and the rest of the staff are amazing. My wife and I have a 20 year relationship with this business and Brian and Ricky. We can’t say enough good things about the customer service and how they treat our pups. I wish I could give them 10 stars
Great Facility! We went in a week prior to our pup staying there for a tour and a temperament test, the staff was very friendly and welcoming. When we dropped our pup off for her stay she was excited to be there again. She was happy when we picked her up and quickly fell asleep when we got home. The grand paw is reasonably priced and I highly recommend! Thank you Grand paw for taking care of Cocoa!
I was so happy with The Grand Paw and so were my two kittys. They had a comfy room with plenty of time to play and lounge in. Also they posted pictures of my babies for me to see so I could know 5hey were doing well as I missed them. I will definitely board with them again when I need to in the future.
If you have large dogs this is THE place. Our dogs are bigger and they absolutely love it here. There is plenty of space for them to run around. Any staff we’ve ever encountered is always so friendly and seems to truly love being around dogs! It definitely seems like our dogs’ happy place. Our dogs have never been sick after a boarding and they always come home clean and EXHAUSTED! It is worth every penny. We also love just dropping them off for a play day. Swim days are also awesome. They have an in the ground pool and one of our dogs absolutely loves it!
