Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Florence and Robert were outstanding sitters. We asked them to arrive a day early as our guests to learn the routine on our farm. In getting to know them we found them to be good hearted, down to earth people with a love of animals and diligent in learning our routines to care for our poultry, cats and dog as well as our garden and orchard. Not a typical or easy sit. We travelled with ease knowing our critters were being well taken care of. Arriving home, the house was very clean and looked well cared for. The animals were healthy as were the garden and orchard. Out pets missed them when they left – our dog stared down the driveway after them until their car was out of sight. It is nice to find sitters we would like to hang out with and we look forward to having them sit for us again.
Carole and Ron are excellent cat-sitters! They took very good care of my cat Lola and of my house. I came home to a happy cat and a very clean and tidy house. They sent me pictures of Lola and kept me updated, so that I had a very relaxed holiday. I very highly recommend them as cat- sitters and I would be thrilled if they would come back to sit for Lola again. Thank you so much!
Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
We were so pleased to meet John and Trisha! We had them come in a day before we left and enjoyed a nice meal with them and they got to meet Delilah (even if she didn’t seem interested) but she soon warmed up to them - except for the Cat Videos - she wasn’t very interested 🤣 When we returned our home was so clean (probably cleaner than we left it)! We got frequent pics and updates on our Princess! They also left us with a Progress Report with Delilah’s activities and what they did at the house before they left. We would highly recommend John & Trisha if you are lucky enough to have them apply for a House Sitters job! Bill, Kathy & Delilah 🐈⬛❤️
Great sitter would hire Stephen and Jenny in a heartbeat. Great with dogs cat and house
My partner and I left our cat Mango in Lindsey's care for a month so that we could get married. We were going from FL to ME, so it was a long way from home. We were gone for a month. Picking the right houses sitter was important. We are so glad we picked Lindsey (and she picked us). From before Lindsey got on her plan to fly down, until she was back home again Lindsey was communicative, considerate and positive. We felt like we had a family member staying at our place and because of who she is, Mango and our home's well being was a weight off our mind during the wedding. If the need arises in the future we will definitely be giving her the right of first refusal. Thank you so much Lindsey!
Kimberly was absolutely wonderful, and we couldn't have had a better sitter for our first experience with zeewoi. Marshmallow loved Kimberly instantly and our cats (who can be a little standoffish) opened up right away with her. She asked great questions that helped us tailor our Welcome Guide to make sure we could be good hosts. Thank you, Kimberly!
My husband and I reached out to Toby & Chloe after reading their profile and impressive reviews only a week before our trip, since our scheduled sitter had to cancel at the last moment. They were very friendly and quick to respond to chat from the very beginning, and ended up exceeding our expectations during their two week stay. It was evident they had thoroughly read our Welcome Guide beforehand, as they arrived knowledgeable and prepared to care for our home and pets. They were very willing and happy to take the necessary time with us to walk through the house and meet our cats, as we got them acclimated with our daily routines and answered any questions. Shortly after we left, our city had a heat wave come through, and after immediately notifying us, Toby went beyond the call of duty and inspected our struggling AC unit to pinpoint the issue. As far as cat care is concerned, we have two seniors (who have more sensitive tummies) that can get irritated after a fur ball or swallowing anything out of the ordinary. When this occurred, Toby & Chloe stepped in and took wonderful care of our cat duo; softening their food and even cradling while hand-feeding them for extra comfort. We truly could not have asked for more affectionate and responsible sitters. We returned to a spotlessly clean home, happy cats, and well maintained plants and pool. (They even cleaned our dusty Kitchen pendant lighting, which requires a steady hand and is definitely a time-commitment …We felt like professional housecleaners had been there!) On our way back, Toby & Chloe stayed in communication with us to monitor our arrival time, allowing them to care for our cats until just before we got home. Overall, they are very reliable and trustworthy sitters whose genuine goal is to provide a top-quality sit, while maintaining your household and seamlessly transitioning to your pets daily schedule.
We've had many pet/house sitters over the last few years and Cat and Eugene will reside at the top of the list of favorites! From my first email with Cat I knew I liked her. She has all of the qualities of a good house and pet sitter: Reliable, a good listener, organized, flexible, caring, and honest. She and Eugene arrived exactly on time for our pre-sit visit, where they got to meet Maya and become familiarized with the house. It was a delight to visit with them and become comfortable knowing Maya would be in good hands. Our scheduled dates changed somewhat and they were extremely flexible and easy going about the changes. Upon our return home, we found the house pretty much in the exact condition we left it in. I can tell that great care was taken for Maya and for the house. Maya seemed to still be looking for them the next day, wandering around the house wondering where the other people who loved her went. I would recommend Cat and Eugene for anyone looking for reliable, kind, respectful, caring, tidy, and honest sitters. If I am lucky, I will get to have them back to sit for me again.
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 $ per visit, $23/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!
Left my 3 doggies here for a week and they loved it! MK was very responsive to all my texts and they did such a good job taking care of our babies while we were away.
This facility has been taking care of my dogs for years and I cannot recommend it enough. I travel a lot, both for work and pleasure, and don't have family in the area so it's very important to me that I have a reliable, responsible, and trustworthy facility to take care of my dogs. Mary Kay has always been wonderful. She takes a personal and vested interest in the wellbeing of my babies and communicates frequently. This last 4th of July I was going to be out of town and leaving my dogs for the first time. They are terrified of fireworks and I too was terrified to leave them. I mentioned to Mary Kay that I was nervous and she immediately responded with a long, detailed and empathetic email addressing all of the ways they handled the dogs on the fourth to make sure they were comfortable, including having loud fans and putting on talk radio for the dogs. I greatly appreciated her long and thoughtful response and the actions they took to make the dogs comfortable. All of the other staff at this location have always been friendly, attentive and responsible. I have left my dogs here for weeks at a time and they are always happy and healthy when I pick them up. My dogs are also jumpers and diggers and the staff pays special attention to these concerns and put them in the jump proof play yard. The facility is wonderful, the staff is great, their prices are fair and I wouldn't board anywhere else. I've tried other boarding facilities in the past throughout the county and none come close to Rocky Canyon
We had a great experience boarding our dog here for 2 weeks. You can tell the owner and workers are very sweet and really care for your pets while your away. I highly recommend this kennel!
I absolutely love Rocky Canyon Kennels! They have a beautiful facility and the staff is amazing. My dog gets excited to go stay when she does. They treat her like family. I would highly recommend this is the kennel you choose to keep your family member safe during your travels.
We have boarded our 3 small dogs at Rocky Kennel for five years now. They do a terrific job taking care of them. I highly recommend.
Seems like a nice place. I dropped my dog off for a free day of doggy day care (complimentary, nice touch), after learning that they don't socialize dogs on a first visit (was going out of town, needed care for a weekend and thought it would be possible to socialize him for the weekend after the day at day care), just to learn at drop off that they won't socialize a pit bull mix at all. Very disappointed to have a discriminatory kennel in town that seemed very nice at first. They will not have my business.
My dog is social and friendly but very attached and has moderate to severe separation anxiety so I had always avoided leaving him with strangers and especially a kennel. We left him overnight for basically 2 full days in August and again for the day in October. He loves it here! The people are all friendly and the women running the place clearly just loves dogs. If you live around here or are up for a nice weekend of wine tasting - I would highly recommend this place for you pup! Only bad part - you need to call a in advance, they seem to always be booked on the weekends, a good sign that my experience is the norm here. Cheers!
Our dog has stayed here for 6plus weeks and is very excited and happy to be there. He is an older dog and played with other older dogs. He was happy and healthy when we picked him up.
Not a customer, only a potential one who had preliminary information by calling. - Called multiple times, no answer. - Finally someone answered and said she was too busy to answer question. - Email? Not available - Website? Sure "Your application form and website give conflicting info, which one is correct?" Neither. In the end, I could not figure out what they really offered or wanted for this business. It's a 1-star review based on preliminary experienxe. Waste of time.
Great kennel. We have a blind older dog and she always gets special treatment to make her feel comfortable and safe.
We use Janice 2x each week for our loving fur baby. She is a true asset to our community and we trust her with our precious Beagle. Plus he loves going and playing with his friends there. We don't know what we would do without her and her services.
We were in town visiting family from out of state with our two pups who’d never been in the care of anyone else and Janice was absolutely wonderful and extremely accommodating to both of our dogs and to us, she even sent pics of our pups to ensure our peace of mind. Janice was extremely sweet and we wish we had Janice where we leave for pup sitting back home
Found this dog-sitter on google. I was coming into town the day after Christmas and we needed someone to watch our two dogs during dinner so we could dine at a restaurant that didn't accept dogs. Called her and she called back quickly, not long after. We finalized the booking via text. The day before I confirmed via text. We showed up and there was dog stuff all over her car and house so we knew this was a dog person. Janice was so sweet in person and was so sweet with our dogs. She sent us updates and pictures of dogs looking relaxed. Pickup was easy and I told her I’d write this review. Thanks Janice!
Janice was fantastic! She provided excellent service and quickly addressed our needs. She treats all dogs as if they were her own and kept us updated on our dog’s well-being. She made us feel very comfortable and worry-free. I highly recommend her!
13 year old Tony usually stays with my mom when we go on vacation. This year we were on vacation at the same time. Janice the owner of Pet Nanny Paso was the perfect solution. She LOVES dogs!!! Her house is a dream doggie daycare. It is dog friendly and organized. Her expertise and passion for dogs made us feel that Tony was in the perfect place. He had a great visit with no adjustment issues. The dogs at Pet Nanny Paso were all friendly and playful. Janice sent us texts and pictures each day to show us how Tony's vacation was going. He had a blast! We recommend Pet Nanny Paso to anyone.
2nd time having Janice keep our weimaraner Jade. We love her and she's so in tuned to the dogs. She kept her overnight both times. Best pet sitter in paso will keep using her every time we come up.
Janice is a gem. Please book her for your pup. Her place is clean, indoors and out. She knows her doggies personalities and how to manage doggies that may not get along, but she has can handle care of all dog personalities. She is meticulous. You should trust her with your baby. She’s amazing. Lovely person.
We dropped off our Mini Schnauzer while we were at Hearst Castle and Sensorio. Janice is so nice and attentive. She was patient showing us around her large yard set up for dogs, texted photos while we were out, and also let us know that our harness was a size too small which we hadn't noticed. We'll definitely go with the Pet Nanny again next time we are in Paso Robles!
Janice is an exceptional caretaker for dogs. She's very professional and kind hearted. She took take care of my dog on short notice when I was visiting Paso Robles. I l would definitely recommend her if you need someone to take care of or watch your dog.
She was able to take me last minute. She also updated me on how my dog was doing throughout the day. Would definitely recommend.
I have left my Husky there twice. The first time everything went great, pretty much.. The second time i had a family emergency, i needed somewhere again for my dog. I thought i would be gone a week but things turned out different and i only needed one night. I called first thing the next morning to let them know i would be picking her up that day. It was after noon so i just expected to pay for that day. When i picked up my dog I was told the lady was out to lunch. Not expecting any problems i said it was ok. Within a few days i see charges on my bank statement i do not recognize so i call. Long story short i was charged almost 500.00 dollars. The lady Said she found errors on their billing end. She said she would give me a Credit of $118.00 get this, TO GO TOWARDS MY NEXT STAY THERE. So no there was no credit given. They must be hurting to pull things like this. I won't be going back there . It's to bad because they could make a lot more money being honest.
Beautiful property, charming dog cottages, kind and patient staff, happy dogs! We took our two dogs here for a three night stay. A few days before their doggy-cation, we took them for a 3 hour doggy daycare to check out the place and give the dogs a chance to become familiar with where they’d be staying. I have nothing but great things to say about Canterbury Tails—they have a large play yard where dogs can socialize with other dog friends or separate themselves if they’re not feeling it! Their temperature controlled cottage style homes with enclosed outdoor patios have cots and blankets. If your dog develops a bond with another guest, they can bunk them together! Canterbury also offers 1:1 playtime and walks for a small charge. We also opted for the lavender exit bath upon pick up! Our dogs were well taken care of. Their “smiles” at pick up time said it all! I highly recommend this dog resort. I want to give a special shout-out to Shilo, a staff member who was friendly and welcoming from the very first phone call. She even updated me on how the dogs were doing when I called during our trip (I’m THAT dog mama). Thank you Shilo!!
Like most dog owners, I'm apprehensive about leaving my dog with strangers. The staff here made the drop-off process so seamless, my dog didn't even know I was gone. The tracker collar I have on him showed he really played a lot and he was happy and exhausted when I picked him up. Well done and 10/10 would recommend.
Last year, We needed someone to watch the dogs. This place seemed like it would be great! I booked it and found out that my brother in law was staying home so he would be able to watch the dogs! I called the place back, literally within 45 minutes of booking, and they said that it wouldn't be a problem.... Guess what? It was a problem! I called again when we came back from our trip and they charged us $275 for NO dogs and cancelling within 45 minutes of booking! This was such a scam! I called our credit card company and they said because this company had responded to our dispute we wouldn't get our money back! This was such an awful experience that they wouldn't even honor anything! On top of that they said they were refunding it and never did. Be very careful about booking this place because they are NON REFUNDABLE even if you book it and cancel within the same hour. It is my recommendation to not make reservations with this place and just see if they have room because if you don't end up needing them, you will be out your money. They must be really desperate for money since they wouldn't return the money for dogs they never even watched! Why am I writing this a year later? Because, I need a place and can't go there because they already stole my money! Even if I did take my dog there, I don't believe they would treat my dog like they should. NOT AT ALL RECOMMENDED!
Canterbury Tails Dog Resort is amazing!! I'm super picky about who is taking care of my best friend Dolly. She means everything to me. I'd give Canterbury Tails 10 stars if I could. From the tour of the property and meeting the team members, I actually wished I could stay there. Safe, clean, friendly and incredible humans that truly love what they're doing. Truly a resort! You can add on play sessions, baths, and other activities. I'll never go anywhere else! Thank you to everyone at Canterbury Tails Dog Resort for the love and care you provided to my Dolly.
Canterbury tales is by far the only place I would take my dog on the Central Coast. After at least 10 trips and some for multiple days, my boy "Scooter" always comes back happy and healthy. It truly seems like the people that work there have a great love for the animals they take care of and it's calming knowing that I can trust them 💯 with my favorite little guy. Thank you everyone at Canterbury Tails Dog Resort for the great job you do, much appreciation!!
This is a horrible facility with horrible staff and an unstable owner. Our dog needed immediate emergency care upon pickup and and when telling the owner about it she started yelling and blaming us. Not once did her or her staff call and tell us our dog was not eating, not drinking, couldn’t walk or lift her head. Not one call, text, nothing! We called several times while in vacation and her staff told us the opposite. They told us our dogs were doing well eating and drinking. This place is horrible!!!
We’re very pleased with Canterbury Tails! We call it her summer camp! My husband boarded his previous dog there years ago and insisted we could easily trust them with our sassy, full-grown catahoula. And we absolutely do! She eats a mix of wet and dry food, and I only brought the dry food for the weekend, which she doesn’t usually like to eat on its own. When we picked her up, two of their employees informed me that she didn’t eat much over the weekend and were a little concerned. I wasn't surprised to hear their report, but was mostly happy that not just one, but TWO separate employees made sure to let me know of their concern for my dog. I appreciate that concern (they’re obviously taking good care watching her) and the responsibility of letting me know of a possible issue. Seriously, she loves it there. And they love her. So we love them!
I love this kennel. More importantly, my dogs love this kennel. I lived in Paso for two years, while my boyfriend lived on the east coast. As a result, I needed to board my dogs (two Boxers, 6 year old male and 4 year old female) for extended stays. I toured the Canterbury facility and found it immaculate and the staff friendly. The owners were professional and accommodating. The kennels are spacious private rooms, with heat and air conditioning and their own little yard. If social, the dogs are also taken for group play in the yard. When I picked up my dogs after their first stay, they were happy to see me, but clearly would have been happy to stay. On recurring visits, they even ran around the yard trying to avoid me and the leash to extend their stay. The staff members are great with the dogs, exhibiting sincere affection for them. My dogs would get excited in the car as we approached the kennel. I have since moved from the area, but I drive my dogs down when I need to leave them for an extended stay, because I know they will be happy and well cared for. I have never encountered a kennel as good as this one. It's so beautiful, with its little Tudor kennels under the old twisted oaks, that I love the few minutes I spend there dropping off/picking up the dogs. I highly recommend it.
We have very high drive, high feelings working dogs and this place gets it. Everything they're is curated to understand the dog's needs and provide a lovely away from home experience. Everytime we get a report at pickup, I'm grateful for their deep knowledge of dogs.
