Young was the perfect house sitter for us. From the moment you meet her, you can tell she is animal person and is detailed oriented and will take great care of your house and pets. She exudes a peaceful and grounded energy. She was comfortable with each our pets from the high energy dog to the shy skittish cat. She played with the dog in the yard every day and took him on walks. And she was also very attentive to our cats and figured out how to maintain the equilibrium in the relationship between the cats and dog. She is an excellent communicator; she asked questions when our directions weren't clear and kept us updated on the pets. She is also an amazing photographer. She sent us pics of our pets every day that totally captured each of their personalities.
Best house and pet sitters we've ever had! They definitely gave our cat and dog plenty of love and attention.
Lindsey was super communicative, friendly, responsible, and an excellent sitter for our two cats. When we returned, our home was clean and our cats relaxed and happy as if we had never left ! She sent us photos and updates every day, as requested, and when a random mishap occurred in the apartment, she let us know right away and was proactive in handling issue. We felt like both our cats and our home were in very caring, capable and respectful hands. Excellent! Thank you Lindsey!
We literally cannot say enough positive things about Susan and Miranda! They are the best! From start to finish, they did an amazing job communicating with us, giving our 3 (somewhat needy) cats extremely high quality care and tons of attention, and keeping our house clean and plants watered. They took adorable pictures of the cats and sent them to us several times a day, played with them and gave them so much love and affection, and when we got home the house was even cleaner than when we left. We even asked them for some tips on how they were caring for the cats because our cats seemed happier and more relaxed than ever when we returned home to them! This was by far our best cat/house sitter experience to date. We hope Susan and Miranda are available again in the future to sit for us and would invite them back without hesitation.
Nathalie and John were great! They were great house sitters to watch our two dogs, 2 geckos, our old cat and bull frog. Their two girls took good care of the animals as well. The house was exactly how we left it. We really appreciated their help!
Florence is everything you want in a cat sitter! We have two cats that need a lot of human attention. One takes multiple medications twice a day and they both are used to eating on their own schedule and having people around so it is always very important to us to find a pet sitter that will be spending a lot of time in the apartment and that doesn't mind being very attentive. We were able to meet Florence before our trip and felt 100% confident that she would take great care of our cats. Florence is comfortable giving medication, she sent us photos and updates and left our apartment spotless. We were so happy that we had her come back the following week when we went away again for a short trip! We will definitely contact Florence again whenever we travel and hope that she is available!
Greetings Pet People, I am a bit late leaving my review for Kristine who is local to us and has taken care of our kitties Max and Luis a few times this year. After COVID-19 was announced in March, our travel plans came to an abrupt halt. We had to cancel a lot of trips we had planned but decided that it was safe to go camping a couple of times this summer. We called on Kristine as one of our favorite sitters on this site. We discussed safety protocols and agreed to cleaning that we would do to leave the house safe for her to enter. She shared protocols that she had taken with other homeowners and had sound processes to make us feel safe leaving our cats and our home in her care. She even purchased batteries for our automatic cat feeder when it failed to let one of our confused kitties to eat. Kristine is a smart, humorous and a thoughtful person. I would not hesitate to recommend her for your sit. She truly loves animals and taking care of your home. Highly recommended! Thanks Kristine!
Pennee and Bill were the BEST pet sitters and guests ever! I really wanted them to stay forever ! Our cat, Miss Kitty bonded so much to them, that she really wasn’t that happy to see me when I got home .Our cat is a finicky eater and they tried all different types of food and treats for her. They sent me regular photos of miss kitty and I knew everything was great when most of the pics had miss kitty on their lap. Our cat doesn’t take to many people but she immediately fell in love with them. Pennee sent us our mail and prescription meds on a regular basis , and went out of her way to take care of any issues . They fell in love with the neighbors and community and just made our lives so easy . We experienced the Covid 19 virus outbreak quarantine during this time and Pennee and Bill agreed to stay a month longer at our home . They were extremely flexible with their travel plans so that everyone would be safe. Upon our arrival home, we were greeted with a bouquet of flowers , beautiful hanging basket of flowers for outdoors and a beautiful bottle of wine . And our house had never been cleaner ! Bill and Pennee are a pet owners dream couple !I felt extremely lucky to have found such a great petsitter and new friend . We will be visiting each other in the future .
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.
I whole-heartedly recommend Carly and her partner Fanny to sit for you! They were fabulous and reliable house sitters from start to finish. Carly was timely and thoughtful in all of her communications and let us know the state of affairs in our apartment with our cat and plant babies while we were away. They followed our directions to a 'T.' We came home to find a happy cat, thriving plants, a spotless apartment and laundered linens. We would definitely consider contacting them again to house sit for us!
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, 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 have boarded my dog here a number of times over the years and I have always felt safe doing so. I always choose the kennels that have a video camera so I can see my dog any time of day or night. I have also booked nail trims here and have been satisfied. The staff have always been very friendly to me and my dog seems to like them all (she lets them carry her around with no trouble at all). Will continue to board here as long as I live in the area.
Our two cats spent 10 days in the care of Paws Crossing. They were relaxed when we picked them up, and adjusted well when we got them home. They were clearly well cared for. The people running reception and their care couldn't have been nicer. I highly recommend this "resort " for pets!
Love this place for our dog! They clearly take care and make you feel comfortable for leaving your loved pet while out of town. They welcome anything you want to provide for your dog beyond the necessaties (toys, blankets etc). Our 9 year old German Sheppard is on medication and they take care of it and we know she is well taken care of. We love the cottage so she has the space she needs and we are able to check on her via their webcam. Highly recommend them for your pet if you need to leave your pet at home.
My dog Denali LOVES going to Paws Crossing. We can't even say Paws Crossing because he thinks he going and gets crazy! It's been so good for him to have play time with other dogs.Grooming does a great job too. We board him when we're away and have peace of mind he's in good hands and having a great time! Thanks staff at Paws Crossing!
I bring Angie here every month! I have yet to have my pup board here, but the grooming is excellent! Maria does a great job with Angie! 🧡 …
So, we wanted to board our cat for a few days, and decided to try Paws Crossing Pet Resort & Spa. The website indicates several methods to make a reservation, which all ends up contacting them in various ways, and they'll call you back to make a reservation. Well, I tried leaving voicemails. I tried sending emails. I tried their online form. I never got any contact back. Luckily, we managed to find another boarding place which would let us make a reservation in time, but this was overall a stressful experience due to losing time in locating a boarding provider.
I’ve boarded my cat here a couple of times and I’ve always been really satisfied. I have a special needs cat and was rejected by a few places for boarding but people at Paws Crossing take great care of her and are very patient. Plus there’s an ER for pets right next door, so that gives a bit of peace of mind
The staff took very good care of our dogs. We will surely be back to board our dogs again. Thank you!
Had a walk through today to decide if I want to board my dog. It was very clean, organized and the staff seemed to truly care. Made a reservation. Hope it all works out in the end.
My dogs love going to Paws Crossing. I use their boarding and bathing services mainly. Great staff and a very clean environment.
My dog loves coming here! The staff is friendly and professional. I trust that my dog will be safe. We have used them for day care as well as boarding and couldn’t be happier.
I strongly advise against using this business. My dog was attacked while under their care, which was traumatizing for her. Despite this, they terminated their service on the same day, citing my complaints about their billing practices as the reason. What's even more concerning is that they terminated their service without any prior warning or attempt to work with me. I have reported this business to the BBB, but they have not responded to any of my emails and calls. I tried to work with my credit card company to dispute the charge, but the business has responded by claiming that I canceled the service, even though they sent me a termination letter clearly stating that they were forfeiting the unused passes. I did however request for the refund for the unused passes which they have not done. I've sent several emails asking for a copy of the receipts and contract that they claimed I signed to agree they can terminate their service and forfeit any unused passes with any reason. I highly recommend avoiding this business due to their poor handling of my dog's attack and their shady business practices. If you are already using their service, be cautious when you purchase their passes in advance. As of today, I have yet to receive my refund of $1428.3 for the unused passes.
Staff is very rude and doesn’t communicate well at all. When I went to pick up my dog, it was after 12 noon and they argued with me over paying a late pick up fee I told them just to use one of my prepaid days from my boarding package to cover it to which they insisted they can’t do it and I must give them more money at that moment Understand that the prepaid day that I was asking them to use is more than the value of the late pick up fee Having just got home from vacation and not having my wallet or money with me I had no way to pay this fee and instead of trying to make things easy they decided to fight with me. All I’m trying to do is get the dogs that were prepaid and get home. I had a huge positive balance on my account don’t fight me The manager then went as far as calling my emergency contact on file to tell them that I was angry at them in an attempt to get me in trouble with them🤣. My neighbor informed me that the person on the phone was petty and rude, and she asked him why he was calling if there wasn’t an emergency and if I had already picked up my dogs she answered emergency contact not my parents Parking lot is practically unusable small I had chosen this place because of the raving reviews and am so disappointed by my personal experience. I tried so hard yet each of the 4 times I went there they found reasons to cause drama accusing me of not paying for prepaid grooming in Oct 23 to not coming fast enough in August of 23 to pick my dog up from grooming (they called me at 1 while I was showering and then 3 more times in the next hour as I got dressed and made my way over to pick up my dog). BE PATIENT it takes time to get there, I can’t stop everything and teleport over. Do not recommend will not go back.
Great doggy daycare service! Super friendly staff. I feel confident my pup is well looked after and safe. Worth the price for peace of mind! Update: I had to board my dog shortly after he was diagnosed with an ear infection. I couldn’t change my trip as it had been planned years in advance. They didn’t charge me extra to give him two pills a day plus ear drops every night. They also cleaned his ears every other day with a medicated ear cleaner I provided. I took him to the vet the day I picked him up for a follow up, and the vet was shocked by how clean his ears were. There was no sign of infection or irritation. The swabs they took from his ears were perfectly clean. The vet said she rarely sees ears this clean. I was over the moon thrilled! Thank you Dr. Dave’s for taking the best care of my dog! I will NEVER go to another boarding facility again!
Have always had a good experience here. It does smell bad in the lobby more often than not and once my dog smelled AWFUL upon picking her up from boarding but....nothing that a bath couldn't fix. Recommend.
REST IN PEACE, JUSTICE FOR ALAN!!! Do not trust this place with your pet! Management will lie to the family about what goes on behind closed doors. SOMEONE NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE.
Safe place to bring your dog. It is a smaller place, but the dogs aren't in kennels for part of the day like Canine Corral. The walks are also in a small area. The main objective for me is to keep my pup safe and free of ouch reports and Dr Dave's does that. Other services are available too
My dog is always excited to go there and always happy when I pick him up. No matter if it's for a few hours, a long weekend, or grooming. Best of all is he is allowed to play with other dogs while there. Staff always accommodates any insane request, be it for diet, grooming nuances, or even to send picks of BM for tracking digestive issues. The only issue is they could be too popular on weekends and may not be able to board overnight, wish they were bigger.
I love the hair cut they gave my dog. They do a beautiful job here the only thing I wish they would have done was call me to let me know it was going to be more since my dog was being difficult. I understand charging more since they needed another stylist to help but just call to let me know what is going on as well as that it was going to take more then 4 hours. I am very understanding of these things but I like to know what is going on with my baby. Other then that the groomers are amazing.
We use them for grooming are older dogs. They do an excellent job and accommodate our special needs (we need to use scent free shampoo, which we provide). Our dogs are not particularly stressed to go to the groomers.
We love taking our Miley to Lucky Buddies Pet Sitting! Miley is a very shy dog and takes a little bit to open up. Initially, we were concerned about her adjustment, but after her first daycare visit, she loved it! It was such a relief to see our timid girl so eager and happy to go back. We feel completely comfortable knowing our pup is in the capable hands of the staff at Lucky Buddies. The atmosphere is so welcoming that it feels like we are dropping her off at a friend's or family member's house. We have complete trust in their care for our baby girl. The added convenience of their app, which provides regular updates, is a fantastic touch that keeps us informed and reassured while Miley is in their care. Communication at Lucky Buddies is top-notch. They are always prompt in responding to any inquiries and are more than willing to address any concerns we might have. We also utilize their boarding services in addition to daycare, and each time we leave Miley with them, we do so without any worry or anxiety. The confidence we have in Lucky Buddies Pet Sitting is immense, and they truly make your dog feel like part of their family. A special shoutout to Chelsea, whom our Miley absolutely adores! Chelsea has been so helpful in Miley's smooth transition and has formed a beautiful bond with her. Miley gets incredibly excited whenever she sees Chelsea, which speaks volumes about the care and affection she receives. In summary, we highly recommend Lucky Buddies Pet Sitting for both daycare and boarding. Their exceptional service, loving staff, and reliable communication make them stand out. They treat Miley like one of their own, and we couldn't be happier with our experience.
They have been absolutely amazing with our 1.5 year old cat where we had to leave the country for a month to visit our parents. Alex and the team really made her feel comfortable (she is a shy cat). So definitely recommend Lucky Buddies to whoever really wants to be stress free whenever you can’t be around your fur babies for long!
I will readily admit that I am one of those crazy dog moms - my pup is a full member of our family and I am very particular about her experiences. I checked out four different doggie daycares in the area before deciding to try out Lucky Buddies - and Lucky Buddies blew the competition out of the water. As other reviewers have mentioned, Lucky Buddies provides excellent care for pets - the staff are well trained, passionate, and friendly. They really get to know your pet and meet them where they're at. Neko started attending at 4 months old (she's now 13 months old), and the folks at Lucky Buddies have been so patient with her wild puppy and teenage months. They work with me on her training, and they clearly love her for who she is. And Neko loves going to both daycare and overnight boarding! The level of professionalism demonstrated at Lucky Buddies continually amazes me. The staff communicates frequently, and Yesica and Alex are always adding new improvements with the dogs' best interests in mind. I would not trust any other facility with Neko; Lucky Buddies is her home away from home, and I'm so glad we have them in our lives.
am so happy to have found Lucky Buddies! I've owned three dogs over the course of the past 20 years and have boarded them at 4 different locations. This is hands down, BY FAR the absolute best. I realize at first glance it seems expensive, HOWEVER, when you realize the overnight price is for 24 hours and includes the wonderful daycare program, it's very reasonable. The staff are just wonderful and clearly love animals--all are treated the way staff would treat their own pets. Among the many things I appreciate are the regular messages and photos they took during my pet's stay and posted on the portal as well as emailed or texted owners (depending on your preferred communication). The best proof, of course, is how happy my dog was during the stay and when I picked her up. Yes, she was glad to see me but clearly she was not anxious to leave (as has been the case in a different boarding place). Don't even hesitate; this is the place to go. Your pet will love it and love you for taking him/her there. For the first time in a very long time, I don't feel guilty about leaving a pet behind when I travel.
I had to go for an unexpected trip and was in a hurry to find a good overnight daycare for my cat. The staff was very patient with him, and he was even able to warm up to the staff in the short amount of time he stayed with the Lucky Buddy staff. Very grateful for the care and frequent updates the staff provided!
To say Yesica & Juan are doggy whispers is an understatement!! They seriously have been so flexible with my fur babies- Ollie & Sadie. having a place that can take in last minute requests is a plus! I cannot thank them enough for taking in my babies when need be. And of course keeping up with them via Instagram is also a relief! You get to see what the Buddies are all up to throughout the day! It’s always an adventure being posted on their. I cannot leave out all the doggy activities they do (you get to take home & let your doggy be creative) as well as all the themed festivities, a holiday? Believe Lucky Buddies will be celebrating it! Like Valentine’s day, St Patrick’s Day, Christmas, Halloween… etc., they do it all! These guys go above and beyond to ensure every dog gets enough exercise, play time, cuddles, food, treats… the whole nine yards! It’s the best.. i’m forever thankful for their service and love to my babies.
Awesome place with awesome staff! Highly recommend Lucky Buddies. My mind is at peace leaving my dog in their care whether for day care or boarding. The updates/report cards they send are also so nice and appreciated. Safe to say our dog loves this place! Thanks Lucky Buddies!
Roxie has been going to Lucky's Buddies for that past year. Yecenia and Juan are great with her. When I went on vacation to Egypt they even picked Roxie up at my house! I love all the extra touches Yecenia does--including holiday events, periodically sending photos and updates of Roxie during the day. I highly recommend taking your dog to Lucky's Buddies.

We began taking our puppy to Lucky Buddies a few months ago and have been so happy with their care! We've done daycare, boarding, grooming, and will soon start some in house visits as well. Our puppy loves playing with the other dogs, and always comes home happily tired and engaged. They are great at updating us, and we love catching glimpses of our pup's day on their social media accounts too! They use the timetopet app which has also been super easy to use and book services, they've also been very responsive to questions. We love Lucky Buddies so far!
Joji loves spending time at Lucky Buddies. I love seeing the videos of him playing and receiving daily reports cards with photos. He used to be a shy puppy, but he has become so social and playful after his stays with his buddies. He also enjoys the neighborhood walks and gets a bath before coming home! We really appreciate the love and attention that Joji receives from Lucky Buddies.
Our silly boy stayed for a week, would definitely recommend and will be coming using this lodge in the future. They are a sweet family owned business and fairly priced. Also, the shampoo they use for pick up Zap 50:1 wow amazing! Went and bought some. Thank you!
We dropped our dog off today and could not have been more impressed with the friendly, personal service that we received. I compared quite a few kennels in the area and our first experience with the owners gave me confidence that I made the right choice. We already miss our dog, but I have a strong feeling that she'll be in good hands. Update January 2, 2022: Our dog was sure happy to see us when we picked her up, but she appeared to be calm and well taken care of. Very happy with the service we received!
I have boarded a couple of my dogs there and have always been very happy. I know that they will be safe and well-cared for, plus they offer playtime for your dog. When my dogs came home, they were clean. Also they seemed relaxed and had eaten their meals even though they were away from home.
I love this place because my dogs love this place. They come home sleek and happy. And they get waggy when they go back and they see where we are. The people who run the place don't always show great people skills. Fine. I'm not there to socialize. They always recognize my dogs and smile at them and call them by name, though they don't always recognize me. Dogs have outdoor and heated indoor runs.
This is not a fancy place, no bells or whistles at all. But it's family run, friendly, and best of all they had availability over Christmas! Prices are reasonable, unless you want your own food (+$4/day) or if your pet needs medication (another +$4/day). Even so, worth it to have somewhere safe to take your pet!
nice place, nice staff, good prices. all business is done via phone and paper, no websites or anything high tech which is just fine with me. my dog enters happily which is all that I need.
I've never seen my dog so happy. She loved it here and didn't want to leave. We've boarded her other places and she always came back so depressed. I'll definitely be bringing her back here if we need to board her again.
Old school pet boarding place with terrific staff. No computers, no high tech check in process... Just good old fashioned friendly humans who talk to you. My pet seems to enjoy it here so what more do you need?? :-)
I had called for a Holiday reservation over 2 months ago and was told that I "did not need reservations, there's plenty of openings". Well, it's Dec 10th, I wanted to try a one day overnight trial and was told, "We are all booked through the Holidays" WTH!!! Now I'm scrambling to find a place for our pooch!!! Terrible Service! Do not recommend this place!
I would recommend west valley pet lodge to anyone who needs either day care or boarding for their dogs. They take wonderful care of our kids and the price is very reasonable.
Casey is amazing! The level of care she gives to our pooch each time she takes care of him is unbelievable. She always goes way above and beyond what we would ‘normally’ expect, and her clear and detailed texts after walks give us extreme comfort that all is ok. More, Casey’s level of professionalism is unparalleled. Monte recently went through a significant health issue - and there is no way he (or we) would have gotten through it without her. We seriously can’t recommend her enough.
The best dog day care and boarding in San Jose! My husky Luna loves this place. It's definitely a second home to her. Everyone should bring their dogs here. She loves meeting new friends!
This place really cared about my little dog and I had a lot of confidence that they would understand her. She is 11, which is relatively old to start doggie daycare. But she seemed to have a great time and I'm delighted to have a place I can drop in when I need coverage for her.
We've been taking our now 4 year old Shih Tzu to We Dog Care for boarding since his former dog boarding closed. The staff is very attentive and ask a lot of questions when dropping him off. They have been great! We will continue to use their services as we have been very happy with them.
We have been using We Dog Care for day care and boarding for about 9 years. The staff members truly care about the dogs and are so kind and responsive. Highly recommend We Dog Care!!!
The staff at We Dog Care are very mindful of my dog’s needs and her care. I always get a full report at the end of the day. It is as though Artemis was the only dog they cared for.
I love that they evaluate your pet before they will have the pet in daycare or overnight. This not only is a safety for your dog but for all the dogs. I also love that I get a verbal report on how our dog has interacted and behaved during her stay. I highly recommend this place
Great place !!! My 14 year old Shepherd mix has gone to We Dog Care for a year. After trying other daycare options in the San Jose/Santa Clara area ....based on my experiences, without a doubt this is the absolute best ! The staff is friendly, very caring, knowledgeable and takes the time to get to know each dog, their behavior and needs. The safety of each dog is a top priority too. The lobby is large and always clean. After drop off, there is peace of mind knowing she's in good hands and well cared for. When picked up, I'm told how things went that day. With senior dog issues, they match her with other dogs that best fit her energy level and personality. The daycare dogs stay in the daycare area the entire time they are there (from drop off to pick up) unless feeding, grooming or different services are requested. Unlike other places that would put the dogs in individual kennels/crates/cages hours before closing and that's where they stayed until picked up. There is someone in with or around the dogs at all times, I've witnessed that not to be the case elsewhere. Also, no restrictions when daycare is available. I'm so glad to have found We Dog Care and feel grateful to everyone there for the loving care shown to my sweet, senior little girl.
We Dog Care knows about dogs; how to train them, how to handle them, and how to communicate with the owners. Our two Cairn terriers are excited to go, happy when we pick them up, and sleep well when they get home. On a recent vacation we were able to watch them on Youtube, and know they were having a great time. The manager of the Willow Glen location is outstanding at customer service, and we appreciate the little details she notices about each of our dogs. Highly recommend.
My grand-dog is in town and I had to find doggy daycare while I work on Sunday morning. Took him in today for an evaluation and it went great. They were so friendly so helpful and the prices are excellent.
We Dog Care is a professional company that always cares for my dog. When I pick her up at end of day, I get a report on her behavior ( once she got a time out because she wouldn’t stop barking when another female dog took away her male playmate). Don’t take away my man, Joline! I am always comfortable leaving her in their care for the day, or boarding.
Michelle and Bill are AMAZING! They took great care of the dogs; truly catering to their every need. Michelle even texted pictures during their stay, so I never had to worry! The dogs adore them and will be back to visit them in the future.
