What can we say, except that Kelly and Jeff's 5 week stay with Max & Astro was perfect! They are both loving, caring and as responsible as anyone could want. We feel as if they have become family ( this was their 3rd sit for us) and hope we have an opportunity to see them again sooner rather than later. The transition from us leaving and then returning was seamless. Both Astro and Max love them, and at the same time, they were happy to see us return. There were a few house issues and questions that arose due to construction. Communication was consistently clear and timely. We received pictures of our fur babies that made us smile and laugh. Everything we asked to be done was always taken care in a timely manner. Our home was well cared for and enjoyed, as we want it to be. It became very evident that Kelly and Jeff took great care to be the most responsible and caring pet/house sitters you could ever desire. If you are ever fortunate enough to have them in your home, grab the opportunity. You won't be sorry. They are the best!! PS If I could give more than 5 stars, I would.
My sit with Ariel has been absolutely amazing. I have ended up staying an additional month for Alex who needed a sitter for longer and I didn't want to leave Granada so it worked out well for us both! Ariel is super loving and friendly and very easy going. Alex is really communicative, helpful and always there to answer any questions - dog or city related! You would be lucky to come and sit for Ariel in this beautiful city :)
I had a great time at Jennifer's apartment in Oceanside caring for her two doggies. We had great communicatiion before and during the sit. Jennifer gave clear instructions for feeding and walking Max and Tempest. She also explained Max's need for a "belly band" and showed me how to put it on him. I had no difficulty with putting one on Max when we returned from walks. Both dogs were delightful and easy to care for. They enjoyed their walks every day and relaxed the rest of the time. The apartment itself is not large but there was plenty of room for me as a single person. The couch and bed were both very comfortable and the kitchen has all of the basic necessities. Additionally, the location of the apartment is wonderful. It is less than a mile from the beach and walking distance to shops and restaurants. I greatly enjoyed relaxing on the quiet beach, and would like to check out the cute shops and restaurants if I return. I recommend this sit for a peaceful getaway.
Sitting for Shereen and Fran was an absolute pleasure- their home was the perfect escape to the country, with a tropical twist thanks to Mango the parrot! Holly is such an affectionate, adorable little lady, and is the perfect tour guide when out exploring the locality (just follow her lead ?). Shereen and Fran themselves are such lovely people/hosts and made me feel extremely welcome- I can only hope I get the chance to sit again in the future! Thank you both!
Staying at Manuela’s was my first sit through this platform. I am really grateful to have had my first experience in Manuela’s lovely « feel good » house & garden. The communication was easy-going, making me feel very welcome. And now Nyx ☺ . Well, the sherry on the cake. A lovely , pretty autonomous cat , sooo relaxed and easy to care for, curious, purring and playful ( very delicately which changed me from a friend’s kitten I had been sitting ☺) We enjoyed together ( from the couch ) the view on the garden, the little pond and the snow falling alternating with sunshine. Also no need to take one’s car to find a bakery ( with top croissants apparently but they were on holiday when I was there ) or supermarket which can be reached on foot via a nice walk along a little lake. I loved pet-sitting Nyx and the days I spent at your home Manuela ! Thanks again !
Alan, Lyndsey and Rye were incredibly warm and welcoming and made sure I felt perfectly at home in their beautiful setting. Rye is a darling - calm, affectionate, responsive and very easy to look after. She knows the surrounding woodland and countryside well and is very content both on and off lead. She often led the way when I was unsure of which trail to take (though all routes lead to beauty!) The house itself is simply stunning, particularly the view of the seemingly endless garden at sunset. Frieth, Fingest, Skirmett and Turville (quaint English villages) are all easy walks away and Marlow is 15 minutes by car (riverside town with plenty of cafes and shops.) I feel very fortunate to have met such a lovely family who opened up their home to me and would sit for them again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend :)
We spend wonderful time with Koos. The communication with Francine was uncomplicated and simple. She is a very sympathetic Woman. She has a beautiful apartment in a great location. Everything is near. Shopping, Restaurants, Culture. All what you need. To Koos. He is so cute and easy to care for. He likes to play with the cat rod he likes to talk and is very curious. But most of the time he is out exploring. When he's in the mood for a cuddle, he'll lie down on your stomach. It was a lovely with him and we would be very happy to come back.

Maggie and Ruger's friends will be missed. We have been coming here for nearly 7 years and will miss all 4 legged dogs on Fridays. Beth, the owner and the employees are by far great. Thank you, ~Dean&Shellie ~SEMPER FI~
Absolutely amazing place for your pup to get some zoomies out! I took my dog here years ago & now with our new pup we needed a place to take her while we are either working or just wanted her to make & play with new fur friends. The staff is awesome & super friendly. The place the dogs with like minded pups as to keep the energy levels even. You can drop off for short periods of time or all day if needed which is nice. After Gizmo's first two days there she was so tired she fell asleep immediately in the car haha My little tasmanian devil was beat! She was so happy an excited. So happy she has some new fur friends to play with there. Definitely recommend
They took good care of our 16 yr old poodle mix. We think they gave her a lot of attention and she loved it! They soiled her!! We will board her with them next time.
We have a 11 month old berenese and she has been going to Linda, Beth and the staff at uppity ever since we got her. She loves to play with her friends and as sad as it sounds she never wants to leave 🤣 . My dog is well taken care of and loved and its a relief to not worry while I am at work.
My dog absolutely loves the day care. The first couple of visits she was iffy walking in but now she flies out of the car and is so excited to see her doggy and human friends. I don't worry about her at all while she's there.
There's an employee named Max that might look like an Alaskan Bushman somedays. But he's one of those people all dogs like they can tell who's good and who's evil. Plus he's my best friend so I know he's good. Anyway good place if you need dog baby sitter
Friendly staff, veteran discount and I know my dog is safe and happy.
Not recommend unless it’s your very last choice. For daycare: they use big area pens for bigger/smaller dogs which are good but the smell was HORRIBLE. Human can’t stand a second of that smell not to mention your pups. For boarding: the iron small cages they use it’s literally the same as PRISON. They claimed to put quiet dogs and louder dogs in two areas but the fact is the quiet areas are all crazily barking dogs (small&big). The iron cage is very small, and there’s no window, no air, no natural light, and also smell so bad. They are so short of staff. Two people in charge of ~10 daycare dogs, plus ~50 boarding dogs. If you can accept that, then you can choose their cheap price. If not, don’t go.
We boarded our dog here for 2 days/1 night while whitewater rafting in the area. We felt very misled. Our rescue pup is half pit bull and half other things. We had a long conversation with a worker guy here about her play style and told him her breed when we made the reservation. I also sent in the paperwork and her medical records in advance. We were assured that she would get to play with other dogs. We reiterated her play style when we dropped her off and were assured that all was good and the dogs' play was supervised. Then when we picked her up a different older woman told us that our dog didn't even get to play with other dogs at all b/c she was half partially pit bull. Apparently, she only got one-on-one time with humans but never got to play with anyone. If this is the place's policy, they should have told us that when we made the booking or dropped her off and continued to talk to them about play time. Not led us to believe she was getting play time or at least a chance to take a temperament test and see if she got along with the others in boarding. Yet another example of unfounded pit bull discrimination in California. It's fine if that's he facility's policy..that's their choice. But I just wished they would have told us and not made it a surprise at pick up. If we knew this policy, we would have looked for another boarding facility b/c our pup deserves at least a chance to play. A generous 3 stars only since it seems that she was fed properly and returned to us with no injuries and the price is good for the area .
Our pups had their first ever boarding experience at Uppity Pup. They stayed 5 days and while happy to see us upon our return they were also clearly well taken care of and happy with the staff.
When another local pet resort was shut down with less than two weeks notice I was really in a bind for a last minute kennel for my 3 dogs. Happy Tails and their wonderful owner Tamara to the rescue. She accommodated us in their lovely facility. We received regular updates and my dogs felt comfortable from the moment we walked in. I highly recommend them.
Happy tails has taken care of our dogs many times over the past 6 years, both at our house and boarding at Tamara’s. The care and attention to detail is always there and our dogs tell us this too as they love everyone at Happy Tails! Many thanks from us, and love from our past and present German Shepherds, Luke, Lucy, Gabi, Boomer, and Hank!
Happy Tails Pet Sitting is a life saver. I needed last minute boarding for my two large dogs and Tamara came through and got me set up with an incredible pet sitter. Thank you so much.
Was assured by owner that staff would respect and secure my home and they did not. Front door was left unlocked while walker was out with my dog and back door left unlocked and open when they left. Staff also forced my fearful dog into a harness before earning their trust, sent me a report photo of her looking extremely uncomfortable in my kitchen. I let them go after four days and would not recommend them to anyone
I have trusted the care of my furry friends to Janet and her team for 16 years now. They have been through a lot with me and my cat crew - saying hello to new furry faces and some goodbyes too. I realize as I begin to think about traveling again, that using Janet and Lucky Buddy to take care of Finn while I am away is critical to me feeling comfortable. When it comes to the pets who depend on me, I have a hard time assuming that "no news is good news", so I really love the daily photos and updates. The staff is really proactive about the pet's comfort, and I know I could count on Janet to do anything needed. That's really important to me when I am out of town and sometimes very far away.
I’ve been having Janet and her team care for my sweet dog Diamond for years. I enjoy the updates they give me via email each time they visit her and I’m away, along with a sweet photo of my dog. I can tell they are people who truly care for animals and I like when they bring attention to any concerns they’ve noticed with her. They have always been accommodating to the schedule that I have and I truly appreciate them.
In a word, amazing! I had a serious medical emergency and was hospitalized with no notice. Janet and the team stepped in the same day and took care of my pup for days until I was able to return home. Thank you Lucky Buddy Petcare!
Janet and her team are really in love with animals. I’ve petsat for friends and colleagues and the overall vibe from this small group of dedicated part-timers is an appreciation of your home and your animals’ comfort in it. They also are mindful of bro gong in packages/mail and watering plants, so bonus. Also, they include pictures and little fun reports on the pets’ “state of mind” Worth it every time.
Janet is awesome and we love being able to rely on her and her team to take care of our fur babe. Thank you for loving him as much as we do!
Daily updates with amazing service.
Ignacio, we appreciate your removing this review from 2018. We haven't taken care of you and I believe you intended this review for another company? Thank you for removing it. Kindly, Janet
