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 🐈⬛❤️
After seeing the numerous positive reviews, I knew Cung would be an easygoing and professional cat sitter and house guest, and he was :-) Easy communication, prompt updates and clear concern for Boz & Artie's wellbeing, and pictures of cozying up on the couch together all made our time away secure and stress free. Upon returning home, the cats were chill and the apt was left spotless, as though he hadn't even been there.
Angel was absolutely the best house sitter we could have hoped for. She is a very warm, open and diligent person and our two cats adored her. She looked after our house and garden with really conscientious care. She won over our very timid cat, Billie, and sent regular photos of both cats looking supremely content which gave us perfect peace of mind. The house was completely spotless on our return and the garden was fabulous... no mean feat since there was a heatwave while we were away and she kept everything watered and in great condition. We would have Angel back at the drop of a hat and cannot recommend her highly enough.
Summer was a very top-quality pet sitter and house sitter. She not only took excellent care of all four pets (three cats and a dog) but even achieved a very close bond with one of the cats. She went over and above the call of duty with our dog, who developed a serious skin condition while we were gone. We're so grateful that Summer was able to identify there was a problem, took the dog to the vet several times, and ended up having to apply topical medication and give pills and even keep the dog dressed in a t-shirt, which she did flawlessly. She communicated with us frequently, sending photos and updates, and the house was spotless when we returned, even cleaner than when we had left. She did an amazing job, knew how to handle any situation, always had a very upbeat and positive attitude, and we really enjoyed getting to know her right before we left and right after we returned. We would very very highly recommend Summer in all respects!
Toby and Chloe were one of the best house sitters we have ever had! As a small animal vet I have seen many types of pet sitters and these guys are top notch. Our pets are not easy either. We have special needs dogs, cats on medication, dogs with behavioral issues, horses, chickens, goats and a large (100 lb) Sulcata tortoise who needed close monitoring of the temperature in his barn. Everyone was thriving and happy when we came home. They read through the packet and asked thorough, thoughtful questions. They went above and beyond grooming, mucking and grazing the horses and goats everyday. They chopped greens and fruit daily for our tortoise. If we had known how amazing they were we would have booked a 3 week trip instead! Can't recommend them enough.
Laura came across the country to sit for us. She arrived a day early and from the moment my pets met her our Lokie was smitten. We have one shy cat Luna and she was out and about on the first night. Laura kept us updated and shared her Adventures as well. We do live in a small hideaway of a town so seeing that she was able to enjoy herself was nice. We returned to a clean home, laundry done also, and very content pets. Lokie was sad for a few days as he missed his friend. We would recommend Laura as a sitter to anyone and would have her back again. 5 plus stars. ⭐
Paige, David, and family were WONDERFUL sitters for my crew! They were so pleasant and personable, and the pets warmed up to them very quickly. Even my rescue cat who tends to stray away from men loved David. I received regular updates and communication (before and during the sit). I truly did not have any concerns while I was away knowing that everyone had such great care and attention given to them. (I know the dogs had a good time because when I came home there was no commotion over my return.) I was away on NYE and Paige had no issues keeping an eye on one of the dogs who has anxiety surrounding loud noises. The family cleaned up after themselves and may have left the house cleaner than when I left! Truly such a great family who I would welcome back any time!
If Macie and Roman ever apply to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the. offer. You will not be disappointed. They are among the top (if not the top) sitter I've ever had and I've been on this site for years. Primarily, they are very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Macie and Roman kept me abreast of their plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk them through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Macie and Roman really care. When they got to my apartment after a very long morning of traveling, I explained the care instructions and they were very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Macie and Roman followed those exactly. Third, Macie and Roman make you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out of hiding very quickly and was snuggling with them and letting them hold him. It was so nice to see the pictures of them all bonding! Macie and Roman have a calming energy towards animals for sure! Macie and Roman were also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 30 minutes. I really appreciated that. Fourth, Roman and Macie will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Macie and Roman also respects your property. We had a room we asked them not to enter and they respected that. In short, Macie and Roman are amazing. I would have them back in a heartbeat. If you have any questions I would be happy to answer them. Ask Macie and Roman for my number.
Chris was a fantastic cat sitter for our elderly and high maintenance kitty. Chris was the perfect combination of responsible and on top of her medication needs while also being calm and relaxed about her picky eating habits and the need to monitor her food and medication consumption. He was prompt, easy to get a hold of, responsible, and overall, a great sitter. I would definitely recommend him and most certainly hope to have him stay with her again.
Steven was a great sitter for our black lab Souris and cat Pinot. They were well looked after and really liked Steven. Our house was in good order when we got back and Steven was kind enough to give us a lift to and from the airport. He was very flexible, arriving day early so we could show him around.
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 20$ per visit, $18/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!
Mary was nice enough to take on our senior dog as a new client. We were looking for a trusted groomer who would be patient with him as he is stubborn. Mary was able to help get him all cleaned up. She shared he was a little spicy and she only did what she felt like he was comfortable with. She also checked in with us in the evening to see how he was. We appreciated her patience and expertise when dealing with a senior dog. We will be returning to her and I would recommend her to anyone looking for an experienced, and patient groomer.
I brought my two German shepherds in for a bath. I have to be honest, they have never looked better. One of my shepherds was shedding like no tomorrow and he came out looking 5 years younger. Both dogs look like they are ready for a dog show. They really look good. They did a great job.
I was in desperate need of a groomer having just move to the area. My Lily caught her nail and it hurting her. I called and was told to bring her and they will see her. As soon as I arrived I was greeted by Mary and she made Lily feel welcome. Lily freaked out and she kept talking to her and suggested muzzle and then a hammock for her safety and Lily. I was told of everything before it was done. Took no more than 20 minutes and I have happy dog at home.
They are great and doing a wonderful job. I have a Husky mix and a Bernese Mix and they're both a lot of work. Everytime they come back from the groomer they look like show dogs :) Very pleased with Bit O'Blarney and highly recommend them.
we take both our poodle mixes to Mary for grooming and boarding, She is knowledgeable, caring and has been a great resource for excellent care of our little ones!
It was my pug’s first groom ever and I’m very satisfied with the choice I made to bring her to Bit O’Blarney Pet Services!! They’re conveniently located near Prunedale which is very close to me. They accommodated me when I requested a same day appointment, which they didn’t have to do. Price was great for a full groom, and they even added a scented dog spray which is optional and they let me choose the scent:) My pug is scared of blow dries, and they didn’t force her to be blow dried. I respect that they made a decision that would be in the best interest of my baby. Mary really knows what she’s doing and when it comes to dog behavior, she gave me some really good advice when I told her about my pug’s behavior issues. The payment method is cash only which isn’t an issue for me but I guess it was for another reviewer..speaking of said reviewer, part of being a good and responsible dog owner means correcting certain behavior and not forcing your scared dog to go through with a groom. If you can’t handle someone who cares enough to be honest with you then idk what to tell you. Mary, you’re an absolute boss at what you do! We’re very happy with the experience, especially my baby, who got the zoomies after her groom. Highly recommend.
We've taken our two Aussie's to Bit O'Blarney a few times now and Natalie has bathed and groomed them wonderfully. I always enjoy talking to Mary, the owner, as she is quite knowledgeable and I always learn something new about dogs after a visit with her. The dogs come home looking and smelling great! When I arrived to pickup the dogs at our last visit, Natalie asked if I was completely happy with how their trim looked and I asked her if she could take just a "little bit more" off in a few spots. She was quite happy to oblige and did a little more on each of the dogs. The dogs seem happy when we arrive here and are calm and happy when I arrive to pick them up. "5 paws" for Bit O'Blarney.
They've always done a fantastic job of making our animals beautiful again.
I am so glad I brought my puppy here for grooming. He really needed it after the last place I took him did a horrible job. He looks like a brand new puppy. They were able to squeeze in my other dog as well. Great service! My pups were well taken care of.
What a wonderful job on my dirty and unkempt labradoodle! It took a couple of hours but Mary knew exactly how to restore his long white silky haired ears and tail. She trimmed his facial hair and his glamorous show dog look. He loves going to see Mary, and she is always able to do him proud.
Zero stars. I used to bring my pup here, i had to stop. Warning all my friends as well. Be VERY aware, the older female employee is always drunk on the job. So, if you care about your dog(s), and their safety, don't come here. I don't understand why the business owner would allow such unethical and unprofessional behavior. Barbara, do better.
Just started to attend the saturdy 9:00 a.m. puppy Socialisation Sessions 2 weeks into a puppy training class and 2 weeks into a dog training class with another dog Barb does a great job!! My puppy 🐶 is tired after all that work! …
Barbara is an amazing trainer. She is very resourceful and helpful. She is compassionate, yet she is not afraid to confront one with the truth. She truly loves animals and teaches us to train our pets with love, patience, and dedication. We have take our puppy to the beginner class and the drop in class. They are both great classes. We will be taking him to our Canine Good Citizenship test class. We also take our dog to the daycare. The experience has been great! We love this place. The place is really clean and humane. Your dog will enjoy coming here.
Very convenient hours and the ability to drop off your fur baby without having to schedule ahead is a bonus. My dog told me she really likes it there too. It's a win-win! Update: Still love the convenience of open drop off hours. I believe this is the only business in town that's this accommodating. And my dog plans her whole week around hanging out with her friends at From the Heart.
Left my puppy there for 8 hours to play while I made us some money to bring home the good bacon. By the end of the day she was exhausted. I guess she was a little too vocal and had a citronella (I think that is what I heard) collar put on her to calm her down. Highly recommend this day care. It is close to where I work and a few colleagues have dropped off there pets here as well.
Love Barbara and her training methods. Kai my Baby Chow Chow puppy attended puppy class. He is also signed up for Drop In Class and he attends doggie daycare. I love that he gets to socialize as you know Chows can be rather aloof, but here he loves interacting with his classmates! Great place.
Barbara is a great trainer and Westministers trainer of the year one year. From the heart dog training has been voted the best trainer in this year in this area for the past five years.
Perfect place for my dog, perhaps yours? I was SO happy to find this place, and am surprised no one has posted a comment. Wide open spaces, gracious caretakers, and lots of happy pets. My in-house dog-sitter moved away, and I was stuck trying to find a place to put a dog that needed attention from humans and as many other dogs as possible during my work day. My Mom found this place, and the moment I walked in I knew it was the place for my precious Lirio, a Siberian Husky who MUST be keep busy. As I write this is her first week there, and she is happy to see me at the end of the day, but exhausted from fun.
Can't say enough about this amazing dog care & training family! And that's what they are family. I never worry about my pup. They love him like he's theirs.
Very helpful folks who work here.
Gus has the best time at the day care! Definitely well use again when we visit Monterey
My husband, checked our dog who Is a cockapoo into “Casa de Amigos Animal Hotel” on October 20th , 2024, in Monterey California. At or around 4:30PM that evening, my husband and myself arrived at the facility to retrieve our dog at which point the hotel staff informed us that our dog had went missing from the facility. The staff had failed to properly secure their facility and supervise our dog as per the agreement. The police was contacted on behalf of my family and matters were taken into our own hands as the facility informed us that they did not have protocol for this type of incident. I was able to track my dog based off information received from a good Samaritan who located my missing dog and had submitted information to the police department. The staff and entire facility failed to show any sort of sympathy towards this situation and didn't seem to care that our dog was missing. We have not yet received a call from the manager or owner of the business regarding this matter. I am extremely unsatisfied with the service we were provided with. The lack of professionalism that was demonstrated in this facility needs to change immediately.
The staff at Casa de Amigos is always courteous and profession. They always remember my dog and are enthusiastic to see her when we walk in. My dog gets so excited when we pull into the parking lot! I love that they send pictures daily when we board her overnight.They have reasonable pricing and are kind enough to offer a military discount.
Very kind and accommodating staff, even gave my mother a tour to help calm her separation anxiety. Thank you for the great service and care for our dog
Our pup Cooper love this place, staff is very friendly and we love taking him there. Love how they send us pictures of him throughout the day as well! Such a sweet touch
My little guy absolutely LOVED going to Casa de Amigos! The staff here are wonderful, and treat your dog like family. They always text me photos, which I appreciate. Your pup is in good hands here. I cannot recommend them enough! Also, their grooming services are AMAZING!
Used the daycare while visiting the aquarium. I had emailed earlier in the week with someone there. But they did not have our reservation when we arrived but everything went fine checking our little guy in they still accepted him. Picked him up 7 hours later and he is pooped and happy. Smooth process and the folks there were very nice. Next time we are in Monterey I would come back and recommend.
my dogs first time at day care so i was nervous staff was friendly and even sent me pics of her playing made me feel at ease definitely recommend
They are so great and take good care of your pets. We have a 9 month old we've been bringing for daycare for socialization and they've been really great with her and have really made gains with her. Would recommend. We trust them with her when we have to board over night as well.
I always leave my dog in Casa de Amigos. Every time i get there my dogs instantly knows where she is and gets so excited she don’t even say good bye! They will send you daily pics. Super recommended!
We have used Wilf's Place Pet Services three times and each time is a great experience. The owners are contentious, clean, caring, and great at communication. We get photos every day of the dogs and updates about what they've done that day. We know our dogs will get their medication at the right time, and that they are in a safe doggie-safe home where they play with their dog buddies. We can take our vacations and work trips without worrying about our doggies and will continue to use this great business.
