Dog Sitters in Fair Oaks, CA

Cindy is taking care of our 2 cats now for quite some time now. They love her and she sends us pictures and short videos every day. She’s taking great care of the cats and our house too. She is very thoughtful and thorough and trustworthy.

Our kitty knew Cindy when they first met; don't know how, but it was comforting from a pet mom/dad point of view. Previous care was reliance on friends/neighbors/family. Trust of your home and your pet to a sitter was very important in selecting the right person. We have used Cindy many times and are so grateful to have her as trusted sitter.

We had a great first experience with Cindy watching our big goofball dogs. Cindy took notes at our meet and greet. Plus her forms ask all the important questions to make sure your pets get the best care. Pics and videos showed how much our boys enjoyed Cindy's visits! We already have her booked for our next getaway.

Cindy did an amazing job taking care of my dogs. She’s professional and reliable. I loved getting the daily pictures. I was able to enjoy my vacations knowing my dogs were in such good hands. I’m so happy to have found her.

Cindy was just great looking after my 3 kitties! She was thorough, very responsive, and my cats loved her. Would definitely use Cindy's services again and recommend to friends and family.

Cindy is the BEST! She is very professional and takes great care of our two cats. She sends videos of the house and the one cat who usually won't come out for stranger's. She actually gets her to come out and play. She also brings in packages and mail. We love Cindy!

Cindy is the best! Our dog, cat, and lizards love when she cares for them. She keeps them so busy and happy that they don't even notice we are gone. We will use Cindy to love and care for our animals every time we need the extra help.

We had Cindy for our first time and it was a great experience. She met us and our dog ahead of time and made sure we were all comfortable and she knew all his routines. We could tell she really cared about our dog. Once we were away, she checked in often with updates and texts and photos. This gave us a sense of ease to know that our dog was being well cared for while we were away. Cindy was perfect for our anxious/protective dog and we would highly recommend her to anyone. We know we can rely on Cindy for our next getaway!

Cindy has been walking our dog at least 3 days a week for the last year and a half. Our dog loves her! She is so happy to see her. My husband and I highly recommend Cindy. She is trustworthy and reliable, but most importantly, she loves animals and takes great care of them.

Cindy is very reliable and trustworthy. She is efficient and punctual. It is such a great feeling knowing our pets are well taken care of when we are away. Cindy sent us videos of them and we were able to see how happy our dogs were with her.

I am so thankful to Vickie at BOW -WOW PET SITTING!!! I am the kind of dog mom that puts my 2 boys Doug and Rusty (dachshunds) above myself. I set my house up so that THEY are happy and comfortable. I have a low bed,, doggie ramps everywhere and there are dog toys all over. I would say that they are a little spoiled ❤️🐾🐾❤️ I only trust a few people with my dogs. I recently moved to Fair Oaks. I searched online for pet sitting and called Vicky, the owner of Bow-Wow pet sitting and boarding. I asked many questions. I then looked at her reviews on Yelp and decided that I would give her a call back. She was able to take my dogs the next day. She was so great! My dogs were barking and have separation anxiety. I immediately felt comfortable with Vicky. She is very kind and obviously loves animals. Her house is set up perfectly - she can separate dogs if necessary but still see them, they are not locked away in a closed room. She had a big wonderful yard to play in. When I picked up my boys they were happy and not stressed. Now they WANT to go there! Even though I'm done moving I intend to to take them to Vicky's at least once a week because they love her and I don't take them in the car and leave them when running errands. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND VICKIE AND BOW -WOW PET SITTING!!! She is reasonably priced and very accommodating. ******************!!!!💕

I am appalled at the neglect and inhumane treatment of my dog. We left my dog Roxxy there for the weekend over 4th of July. We made sure they were aware she was a rescue dog with anxiety, and we were guaranteed that our dog would not be left alone during the fireworks. After we got our dog home, that night we realized her mouth was severally injured. Apparently, she had been left outside in a metal crate during fireworks while the owners of Bow Pow Pet sitting went to the liquor store, and tried to chew her way out causing the damage to her mouth. Multiple teeth had been broken off, her gums were destroyed and she had literally chewed so long and hard the bone of her jaw was damaged. We were never notified that our dog had been injured under their care, we had to wait to find out when we got her back, and with the extent of the injury being as bad as it was I have a hard time believing there were no signs of blood or injury when it happened. The surgery to fix my dog's mouth was over $3,500, which Bow Wow Pet sitting never even tried to repay. I felt the owners of Bow Wow pet sitting were unprofessional and down right negligent to have let this happen. To top it all off, after multiple complaints from us they still have pictures of my dog on their website, against my approval, to advertise their business. Usually I am not one to write angry online reviews but I feel strongly that they were negligent towards my dog.

My dogs were well taken care of in a family style environment. Both had individual needs and their needs were well taken care of. Was so pleased with the great care both dogs received! Recommend!

Great attentive people who are dedicated to every animal they come across. Reasonable prices for the amount of service you receive. They always go above and beyond for their customers and our pets.

My dog loves this place his friends all go there

Bow Wow pet sitting the dogs can run around and play with other its like pershool

Best place to put your dogs

Very accommodating,.l

Happy pets stay here

Vickie is great

Geri took care of our furry family members as if they were her own! Lots of walks, attention, and fun canine activities! Geri provided frequent updates and photos. We knew our canines were in good hands! Would highly recommend Geri for your dog-sitting needs. She’s highly-dedicated and she loves dogs!

Gerri was amazing and absolutely loving to our fur babies. She sent us so many pictures and I felt at ease that they were in good hands. We are definitely going to use her services again.❤️❤️❤️❤️

Geri is the best dog sitter we’ve ever had! We even have one dog that’s not very friendly and he still loves her! She’s great with making sure they have everything they need and will even send a text or photo of them on her visits. Would highly recommend using her for your fur babies!

Geri took care of our hamster "Cuddles" while we were gone for 3 weeks. She went above and beyond to make sure not only he was taken care of, but our house was well looked after as well. She even offered to water plants which was so helpful since we were gone for so long. I would highly recommend Geri for your pet care needs. It's clear she takes the jobs seriously and will love your pet like her own.

My dog, Ace, and I love Geri at PrAWper Pet Care!! She is exactly who you’d want to watch your pet- for a short or long visit- we’ve done both. Besides being a very nice person she is very serious at what she does. Her house is totally set up to watch or keep your pet for any length of time. She cleans inside and outside of her home before and after every pet comes and goes. She is amazing. No one outside of our family has ever taken care of any of our pets. My husband and adult children haven’t taken a vacation together in 15 years. I just happened to see a post on NextDoor and I immediately messaged her, we met a few days later, and I even moved the dates of our 4 day trip so she would be free to watch our little pup. She also watched Ace for a day so we could go to our family reunion and not worry about our small, 12 year old pup being home alone. Truthfully, we wouldn’t have all been able to go without Geri watching Ace. Being new to this area I am so grateful to have found someone who is caring and serious about taking good care of Ace. She really is the best! She even let him sleep on her bed like he sleeps on ours at home. (Adding Geri’s photo of Ace from her IG- so cute!)

Geri is the best. She is thoughtful and genuinely cares about my pet. This time Irene stayed at my house, my dogs did not miss me a bit. When I came home they were happy and I’m pretty sure they miss Geri and Irene more than me. Lol

We’ve had the pleasure of having Geri with our puppy Mikasa.. she is awesome! She always sends a lot of updates & pictures, and Mikasa always come backs happy & stress free. I’m very cautious with other people around Mikasa but we trust Geri 100%!

PrAwper Pet Care was amazing with my two big goldendoodles. This is the first time I leave them for daycare. Both have high anxiety and Geri was amazing on keeping them busy and keeping me updated with text and pictures. She is knowledgeable and very loving. I would recommend Prawpet Pet Care to anyone that is not comfortable living their fur babies.

Geri is incredibleeeeeee! she is our dog sitter and has been for the past 2 years! She is so knowledgeable and caring and shows so much love to our dog! Our dog has a hard time trusting strangers or being around people but she was so comfortable with Geri from the start! Our dog Harley is so happy to see her, go on a walk with her and even gets excited hearing her name! Thank you so much Geri for all that you do and even make us feel at ease when we travel and we know Harley is going to be taken care of!

Gosh, where to start with all of the nice things to say about Geri. Geri is incredibly detail-oriented, kind, patient, honest, reliable, understanding, and caring. I am so grateful to have found Geri because the worst part of planning a vacation for me was always trying to find someone to watch and care for my fur babies. The love Geri has for animals exudes through her; you can see how much she cares for them just by the way she interacts with them. It's honestly such a relief to know that someone will care for my fur babies the same way that I do. If all of that wasn't great enough, Geri also has fantastic communication skills and she's very reliable. She's a woman of her word! I'm so thankful and grateful to have found Geri. If you're in need of a pet sitter, I could not recommend Geri more! Thank you, Geri!

A dog walker you can trust! Jenna is kind and very easy to communicate with. She takes my strong 80lb pitty twice a week for 30 minute walks. I absolutely trust my dog is safe with Jenna. Not only is my dog tuckered out after each walk but she VERY happy. The minute Jenna pulls up my dog gets crazy excited! I have two chorkies that love to see Jenna too. All three bonded with her right away. I am so grateful we found Jenna!

Jenna is amazing! My dogs love her. She is very reliable and reasonable. She will take good care of your fur babies.

We are delighted to have found Jenna of Woof Professional Dog Walkers to board our dogs while on vacation. Donner and Shasta received daily walks, lots of attention, and apparently special treats since they weren’t very interested in the regular ones we provide once they got home. Jenna’s daily reports plus photos offered us immense relief in knowing our pets were in comfortable home-style surroundings and very caring hands.

I feel so comfortable knowing that my pets are in safe, capable and caring hands with WOOF! I’ve known Jenna over 15 years and she is absolutely trustworthy and amazing with our fur babies.

I highly recommend WOOF!

Thank you!

Unfortunately, our experience with Joshua and his pet sitting business was not positive. We had a meet and greet several weeks before our vacation. That went very well, he asked great questions and took down many notes. The pets all liked him, and it is apparent that he loves animals. At the meet and greet we confirmed he was available for our dates to come twice a day and we gave him a key. I reached out via text a few days before our trip to confirm which he promptly replied to stating he had us on the books. As we arrived at our destination, we received a text from Joshua stating he had arrived at our home but that we forgot to give him a key, does a neighbor have one that he could use. I reminded him that we gave him a key at the meet and greet and what keychain it was on. He stated that he had looked everywhere and would look again. Very long and stressful story short, while Joshua was very willing to provide the agreed upon services if I supplied a 2nd key we were not comfortable with this solution. We already had 1 key lost and will have to have our locks changed, we were not willing to trust he would not lose a second key or have some other issue.

Josh is a wonderful pet care giver! He loves them all. Of course Cats are his favorite but he likes them all and he's affordable!

Button's loves Marsha and everything about Bow Wow B&B!!

We have left our dogs while on vacation here 10 times over the last 3 years and they all have loved being there. The best part is they come home tired meaning they are loving it there and playing a lot!

This kennal is located in a private residence. The dogs stay in the persons home, garage and yard. Our dogs seemed to have liked it.

Best Place Ever!! :D Its like a close family for your dog(s)!

Good place to bring our doggie when we go on vacation... definitely recommend.

Pretty litty tbh. Dogs are all nice and fluff.

Unreliable

Took our Golden to the splash pad night. They had the nicest facility!! So much room for the dogs to run around in, very clean and no broken toys/furniture. My golden had so much fun and I will definitely be signing her up for a day care session.

Great place to take your dog for day care or swim fun. I've taken my bullmastiff to day care and open swim. She lived both and came home tired and happy. Bit expensive buy you're paying for good care of your dog. I really appreciate that they screen your pet and have separation of different temperaments. Open swim in wknds is great and pretty cheap at $10 per dog. I highly recommend and will be back often. They have boarding service too, but I've never used it.

We rented the pool with some dog park friends and had a blast. The staff are very friendly and the pool was ready to have our pack of dogs rage. Some seating provided, bring a towel for yourself and wear clothes you don't mind getting soaked because the dogs will shake all over you!

Our baby loves her stays here and comes home happy having played with dogs for a week while we go on vacation.. take your baby here and see how great this place is!! 💙🙏🤙 See healthy happy tired.. good girl. …

We love taking our fur baby here! Bailey the front desk gal is so professional and sweet!

The staff here is great! Our pup had an amazing day swimming here, we are planning on coming back for daycare :) (And I must say... It's so refreshing to find a place where pitbulls are treated equally!)

I took my dog, Huffy, to the Animal Den for their open swim. She had a blast! All the doggies loved the pool and I got to enjoy some wine while she played. It was a win all around! My only gripe is the admission fee is $10. The fee is reasonable but it does keep us from going as frequently as we would like!

My dog has been going here for daycare 4 days a week for the last year and is so happy and excited whenever we arrive. Previous places we went for daycare I could see him on camera just sitting by the gate wanting to leave, and he was never eager to walk through the door. I think the staff here have gotten to know him and what makes him happy to be there so he feels much more comfortable. They also do cute holiday activities and dogs of the week which are adorable extra touches. Overall it’s been a great experience!

Such nice and caring individuals! They can accommodate almost anything! Very patient and compassionate for not only the fur babies but the fur parents as well! As for my Meeko he is having the time of his life for his first time. He is literally smiling. Great decision to board him here. I would high recommend this place!

They have been taking care of my loved ones for nearly 40 years. I've never boarded my dogs anywhere else and hope I never have to. They give great care and love and my dogs have fun there. And I have peace of mind.

We adopted a sweet dog, Teddy, from a rescue. Teddy was very reactive on the lead. I knew that I needed a professional to help this sweet little dog become a well mannered companion. Cameron, one of the dog training professionals at Busters, helped Teddy (and me). We received excellent training and guidance. Now Teddy is very good on the lead when we go for walks. I will continue to have Cameron assist me in training Teddy. I recommend him. I hope to eventually have Teddy visit nursing homes as a therapy dog. We also use the day care and boarding facility at Busters. The staff are professional and kind. I highly recommend Busters.

I took my dog, Winston, in for a 6 week training course to get some extra help with leash / reactivity training and Cameron has helped transform Winston into a dog with much better manners! He taught me a lot about my relationship with my dog that will help us moving forward. I've also taken Winston here for grooming before and they always do such a great job making Winston look handsome!

Super happy with Buster's Pet Resort- all the staff is super friendly, and happy to see me, and always so thrilled to see Tucker. It speaks volumes to me when they greet him personally and say their good byes so sincerely when we leave. As a "former" rescue dog, he trusts few people, but since coming here, he has become so much more confident and socialized! Thank you for being you all Buster's team! As you can see- Tucker is tuckered out when he comes home!

I am a new pet parent and was scared to drop my little buddy off to anyone. My husband and I came across Buster’s and I am SO glad we did! Our little Nacho got go be outside and play with all the other dogs, he even got to try out the doggy pool! If you want to take your dog to a wonderful place where they care for your pets as well as you do, send them here! The staff is absolutely wonderful, we will be back!

We've had a great experience with Buster's. The staff is so friendly and provide such amazing care. In addition to boarding and grooming, we have used their Dog Training services and couldn't be happier. Colin is amazing to work with and has transformed our 3 year old Lab, Zoey, into a responsive and obedient companion. One training session with him and you'll be amazed at how knowledgeable and effective he is. We look forward to coming here for years to come.

I'm very impressed with Buster's Pet Resort. All the staff have been very nice and friendly. I cant begin to express how much my dog (Tucker) loves going here! At first Tucker was a little hesitant but now when he is being dropped off he runs for the entrance with his tail wagging. Someone is always at the door to greet us. And in the afternoon when Tucker gets picked up he is always exhausted from all the fun he has had all day playing with the other pups! I would highly recommend Colin and the staff at Buster's Pet resort!

Buster's helped me save a life. We adopted Suki from the SPCA, and boy was she a handful. We weren't sure if she would be the right fit for us. But after the daily daycare program and a 3 week board and train, she is such a good dog! Buster's fixed her food and toy aggression with our other dogs and made her not want to chase cars. They showed us how smart she is and taught her great listening skills and a ton of new tricks, and they trained us too! Suki gets depressed on Sundays when daycare is closed! Thank you for helping us appreciate what a great dog she is!

I absolutely LOVE Buster's Pet Resort and Daycare. The staff is always so friendly and welcoming. I just started personal training at Buster's last week, and I'm convinced these trainers are wizards after the magic they preformed....I have a 14 month old Blue Heeler/GS mix (Willow) and 8 month German Shepard (Luna). My 14 month is a TANK and very leash reactive (Pulling, barking and getting exciting with other dogs). Walking both dogs was Extremely difficult, so I had to start taking them separately. After, only ONE personal training session, I was able to walk both dogs together, with little to no reaction when we approached other dogs, even barking dogs. They are walking so well together and people have actually commented on how well behaved they are. I'm so excited to continue our training at Buster's.

Great reliable staff, fortunate to find this place. My dog is taking training lessons, has spent four nights boarding and playing there, and is doing much better, behavior wise. We also feel welcomed, and I also, am learning new things(as a dog owner), as well. I give 5 stars.

It could be better because I know especially speaking with different employees. Unless it was just a show to get your money the first time and saying they're able to provide services. After explaining my concerns and what is it that I am looking for in a safe space and possibly updates with retraining for my puppers it seems what I shared wasn't read or discussed with other employees on how my dog could be after being attacked 3 times by unleashed dogs. Even met the owner on the day of evaluation he seemed pleasant. I discussed that I am working on having him retrained in some areas so he wouldn't have anxiety being around other dogs. Anyway, the price kept on increasing with what one employee, an older gentleman mentioned services would be then when stopping by on another day due to having to reschedule because of other appointments and scheduling that were priority asking questions regarding specific services increased even more with the female employee. Even when a courtesy call was provided as to why we had to reschedule previously with an employee being aware of it. Also, it was told to me by the female employee to have him be in day camp he had to be reevaluated which was an additional cost then to keep him in individual play it was extra on top of day camp fees. The female kept on increasing the prices compared to what was discussed upon my initial conversation with the male employee when I looked in on daycamp, training for dogs. I'm disappointed with getting different prices on services even looking at the prices on the brochure the female employee increased the service rates. I would like to know if I happen to be the only customer who has gone through this with increase in services rates with that particular employee because I really haven't read any of the reviews as of yet, and probably will not. Just Do Better!

I can’t say enough good things about Brad and Muddy Paws Adventures. My young Dog was very shy and attached to me but with LOTS of energy. Regular walks just weren’t enough sometimes. That’s when I discovered Muddy Paws Adventures. It was not just typical dog walking and provided much needed stimulation for my dog. Brad had patience with my dog as it took him a few visits to get over his shyness. Now I just mention the word Muddy Paws and he gets excited. It has really improved his confidence around other people and dogs.

Our pup LOVES Muddy Paws! We contacted Brad after seeing all of his amazing adventures on Instagram and just knew it would be the perfect outlet for our pup. We have a 7 month old golden retriever and loved the idea of him being able to socialize with other dogs and get his energy out while we were at work. Brad was really quick to respond and set us up for a consultation within the week. He met with our dog, Ryder to evaluate his social skills and shortly after we were approved to join the Muddy Paws Crew. Each trip is customized to the specific dogs interests. Ryder is a huge water dog so for his first adventure, they went to the lake for some fetch, swimming, and of course, a puppachino to end the day. Once back at home, Ryder slept pretty much the rest of the day! Brad was really kind to send photos of Ryder’s adventure so I could see all of the fun they had. We have done another adventure since then and can’t wait for the many more to come!

What an amazing experience my Chloe has had with Brad, Odin , and Muddy Paws. She looks so forward to her adventures and is totally waiting at the door for her pack!

This is a much needed dog service in this area. My dogs love these guys and I know they have a great time with the Brad guy. I hope this can become a long term adventure.

5 stars . This is the best thing I have ever done for Forest . I would highly recommend Muddy Paws . Do something special for your best friend . Book an adventure.

My pups, Alfonso and Oillie love staying at the Best Friends Pet Hotel! They are so quiet on the way home. Exhausted from fun! They love the staff. Constantly running around them even as we are trying to leave! Haha They are so happy. I have them groomed after each stay, they smell wonderful!! Pictures from different pickups!! Another stay! Groomed before pick up! Handsome and happy🐶🐶 Love the bow tie on Ollie 🤭

My big boy Bengal, Dezi had a great time here. The facility was very nice and clean too. He got his own two room suite! The staff made him feel safe and loved and he wasn’t stressed when I picked him up. This was his first time away from home and I wasn’t sure how it would go. He will be coming back to visit again.

I have used Best Friends since 2002. All of my dogs have done great and I had a dog with some “issues” and she was handled well. There were never any problems after their visit at the “spa” as we referred to it. My two small dogs just returned from their spa visit and Max was on medication and he did great and our Gracie was happy too. Highly recommend!! 🐾🐾

I am so glad Miranda and Sunflower Grooming have joined forces with Best Friends Pet Hotel! It’s a perfect match and one-stop shopping! Miranda is not only an amazing groomer, but she’s also a dog lover! Her entire staff is sweet, caring and professional! I will never have anyone else care for my animals!

Kirby's first boarding experience at Best Friends was wonderful! He got along great with the other cats, and it was clear the staff truly care for animals. I highly recommend this Best Friends location for anyone needing extended pet care.

I know Miranda as a professional groomer and a kind and sympathetic girl. I love the new home where she and her staff will continue taking care of our pets. I recommend Sunflower Grooming and Best Friends Pet Hotel to everyone who's looking for quality service, attention and love to animals!

We brought our Golden, Lola, here for the first time for a full grooming experience. She is terrified of loud noises--the girl who met us at check-in was extremely gentle with our dog, calming, and got her to settle down. We knew immediately that Lola was in good hands. They brought Lola out looking better than she ever has at any other grooming appointment--complete with a fresh bandana and bow. We loved our experience here!

First time with Best Friends over the Christmas holiday. She was pretty excited to go with the staff and seemed great when we picked up. We had a long delay on our return train ride and the staff was very understanding. I felt very comfortable with her accommodations and would definitely use them again next time we travel.

Best Friends pet boarding, daycare in Carmichael. The staff here is awesom! My Pebbles and BamBam really enjoy their overnight stays! They get lots of attention, treats and best of all have piece of mind knowing the loving care they are getting! Highly recommend boarding and Doggy day camp!

They took such great care of my big boy Benjamin! I’ve heard so many great things about this place and I’m so glad I finally gave them a try. I will be back for more overnight stays and daycare!

The groomer charges extra for everything outside of the bathing. 10.00 extra if you want your dog combed after shampooing, 25.00 for clipping nails and if you want any fur trimmed it's 10.00 per area. What normally costs me 65.00 from my regular groomer was up to 125.00 by the time I became disgusted and walked out. I was fortunate enough to let the older couple know why I was leaving and they Thanked me and left with their 2 dogs as well. This groomer definitely needs to get updated in this profession before continuing to advertise as a groomer.

We are so grateful to have found the team at Barkers's. Their scheduling and payment system is easy to use. They did a home visit to learn about our alarm, where pet supplies are stored, etc, so they could provide the best care. Most importantly they put such care into looking after the pets. I get a text after each visit with a little update. We love our fur baby and I trust Barkers Pet Care enough to have recommended them to a number of my friends.

I have known Kathy for years and she has a passion for animals. I recommend her often.

Highly recommend! They are amazing!

Thank you so much

Thank you so much!
