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.

Cynthia was a perfect pet sitter for our little kitty. We knew from her extensive experience with cats that Nala was in good hands. She was extremely responsive via texts when we were away, ensuring us that the 2 of them were having a great time. She went absolutely above and beyond by scrubbing our bath and toilets to remove our mineral deposit rings that we haven't been able to get rid of! She even left the name of the product she used so we can get more in the future. The house was cleaner than when we left. We'll have her back anytime!
Pares is an experienced and quality sitter and we knew our cat Juniper (and a few plants) was well cared for. We received regular updates and photos which was really nice to have during our travels. While we missed Juniper, we could see that she enjoyed receiving cuddles and attention from Pares. Upon returning home, our flat was clean and tidy, and Juniper was very happy! Thank you for taking care of her!
Anna was an excellent sitter - she took great care to understand all of the intricacies of taking care of the house and cats, asked lots of questions, and arrived on time and ready for the sit. During the trip, she checked in with updates, and upon returning home, left the space tidy and clean. The cats were happy and healthy, and seemed to have had a great time during the sit. Thanks Anna!
Sharon and Milton are two of the nicest people I've met in my life. This is my first time having a sitter fly in from out of state and it was so simple, stress-free, and didn't affect any part of me getting ready for my trip, leaving for my trip or returning from my trip. Sharon was very communicative before, during and after I returned. It just couldn't have been more wonderful! If you're considering applicants stop looking and choose Sharon and Milton. They are just delightfully wonderful wonderful people!! They go above and beyond just housesitting and pet sitting! Tidy, clean, respectful down to earth and the most kind and loving people. I do believe Milton really is a cat whisper!! They slept with my sweet babies, and even followed silly grooming instruction on one of my cats. Would have them sit for me absolutely anytime.
Someone was smiling down on us when Kevin and Mary clicked on our very first House Sitter advert. They are straightforward, pleasant, reliable and fun. They kept in touch about their own plans when their flights were delayed. They tactfully left the house when our own cancelled flights meant we were staying a few hours longer than first planned. They sent just the right amount of photos, videos and texts of our cat while we were away! We all loved that. And on our return, oh my word, the house fairies had been to visit! They somehow managed to walk the perfect line between improving everything, without interfering at all. Clean, tidy, replenished. They asked what food we’d like on our return and boy did they deliver! Home made bean stew :-) and different things for the children. Really kind and generous. Communication was clear and also witty..! They dealt with the churn of small mammals our “somewhat independent” cat brought through the flap without complaint. They are a really nice couple, exuding a lovely American warmth and charm. It was a real pleasure, Kevin and Mary, thank you.
Wow, what a find Justin is! I feel as though I won a lottery. As I was revelling in the communication we were having during his stay, I looked over his profile and realized either that he had updated it during his stay OR I never even read it. I was so impressed with his initial application that described multiple stays taking care of cats in Turkey that I knew he was going to be a great choice. So I'm not sure that I even read his profile or reviews. Turned out...he was more than I could have EVER hoped for. Justin is VERY organized and clear with his communication. Just as--or maybe more--important, he is a poster child for what zeewoi can be: more than just an economical way to get a pet sitter or a place to stay. Justin embraces the barter economy and the opportunity it presents to get to know people. Although we only met the day that I turned the house and my 2 cats over to his care, we had delightful communication throughout his stay. He wanted to be sure he was providing the right care to all living and non-living elements of my home as well as just chat beyond what we'd had an opportunity to cover when we were face to face on the handoff day. Bottom line: I'd have Justin back even if I wasn't going anywhere! I've met a friend. And my neighbors did as well! Oh yes, and my two cats were well looked after, the house was in ship shape, and Justin was able to brief the next sitter in person (I'd had to extend my time away and Justin already had another commitment). To say I felt confident leaving my pets and home in Justin's care is an understatement. Justin is a real adventurer and believer in the power of both human and animal connection. Without a doubt, I would recommend him as a sitter...and a friend! Thank you, Justin for a great example of how to wrestle so much more meaning out of zeewoi.
Ruoyi was the perfect sitter for our cat Toni! We would highly recommend her to any pet owner, and hope she can sit for us again in the future. Ruoyi was very thorough - she made sure there was full alignment on all the specifics of her pet duties, and she asked thoughtful questions regarding details we forgot to include in our guide. She always provided us timely updates at the agreed cadence, and gave us a ton of photos. From the photos, it's clear she got in a lot of play time with Toni, which we really appreciated! :) We were able to enjoy our entire vacation stress-free knowing Toni was in such good hands. Ruoyi left our apartment completely clean and offered to wash linens.
Lindsey watched our cat and dog for a long weekend when we went out of town. She was a very communicative sitter sending frequent pictures and voice notes with updates. She did a great job of following their schedules and giving them attention. The animals seemed to be happy and relaxed when we returned home and I believe Lindsey enjoyed getting to discover all of the eateries our town has to offer. A win-win for everyone!
Karen was able to step in a sit for me on short notice after another sitter canceled. She was very thorough and communicative and I felt I had left my apartment and cats in good hands with her. I came home to a clean apartment and happy cats. I definitely recommend Karen as a sitter.
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, $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!
amazing place, i boarded my dog for the first time for the weekend that & she was so happy. they sent me pictures & videos & kept me updated the whole weekend. definitely made leaving her for the first time so much easier
We went to the US Open this week and had the delightful opportunity to take our two Cavalier’s (18 weeks old) to WaggsN’Naggs. The boys had so much fun. I highly recommend this business the staff and owners are incredible, friendly and very good with pets. Thank you so much for giving us peace of mind while enjoying the golf tournament.
Jan is awesome!! I've been taking my pets to her for years. She's so awesome with the animals and you can tell that she really loves taking care of them. Very clean environment and the grounds are beautiful!!!
We take our little dachshund there. It is very clean and is run very professionally. There are separate areas for little dogs and big dogs. Highly recommend. !!!
Nice and open. My Golden loves it there. Always comes back tired from all the playing.
Great place! Our dog loves going there.
Great people and our dog loved it.
Nails
I definitely recommend it...my dog was well taken care of, he had a lot of fun, he felt loved and cared for by the people who took care of him. I loved that place for my puppy. Since I saw it, I knew it would be an excellent place for him to feel at home. home..from now on every time you go on vacation this place will be your second home 🥰
I was looking for day care for my 1 year old pup and was able to find Jackie through google. She was able to take him 5 days a week, full time, which was what me and my boyfriend were looking for. The meet and greet was great. She really wanted to make my pup feel comfortable. As the days went by, my pup was super excited each morning to see Jackie. She keeps us posted with our pup throughout the day and is extremely reliable! Would recommend to anyone trying to board or day care.
We meet Jackie over a year ago at puppy training. We were looking for someone to board our golden retriever puppy for a weekend. Our Lola was well taken care of and had a blast socializing with other dogs. She now goes 3 days a week for doggie daycare. She looks forward to seeing Jackie and her pups. Jackie goes above and beyond to make sure every dog gets the attention they need through out the day 💛
Jackie is amazing. She is very responsive and flexible. I started going to her after looking for a dog sitter that was closer to my home. She is much more than a dog sitter. Her dog training experience and loving nature elevates her services. Recently, I went on a trip far away and Jackie was only able to watch my dog for a portion of the time I was gone. After I was not able to find other options, she offered to take care of him and drop him off at the second boarding place. She also fed him white rice and boiled chicken when his stool was too soft. Even though she does not take dogs with soft stool she cared for mine as if he were her own. Thank you Jackie. I'm only sad that I'm moving soon and won't be able to see you much longer.
Jackie (of Precious Paws) is amazing. We adopted a sweet but stubborn half-grown pup, and Jackie has worked hard to teach our dog some manners. Our dog loves going to see Jackie every day, because she’s given tasks to do, but also treated with love. Jackie has made a world of difference!
I boarded my 10 month old GSD puppy with Jackie for 5 days and I was extremely happy with how well she cared for my dog. I received daily updates and pictures of my pup and that really helped me since it was my first time away from him. Due to snow storms my flight was cancelled and I couldnt make it back in time for the pickup. Jackie went above and beyond to help board my dog for an extra night. I will highly recommend Precious Paws for your Precious Pups.
I just wanted to share how much I love Precious Paws. My original dog sitter canceled on me at the last minute when I was ALREADY out of town and I called Jackie from Precious Paws who came through for me in a big way. Not only did she come pick him up and watched him until I came back in town, but she sent me updates that included pictures and just text messages that just left me know that he is in great hands and from the looks of things he made himself really comfortable on the couch. This is the exact kind care I was looking for. I didn't want to put him in a place where he was going to be another dog in a cage. I wanted him to have fun minus me and my son and that is exactly what I got. I am so happy with the care and will be back there for services again.
Our experience with Precious Paws was amazing. Jackie took care of our dog while we were out of town. It was a peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. We’ll definitely use her services again.
My experience with Precious Paws was amazing!! When I came to pick up my 2 year old lab she was so happy that she didn't want to leave. I'm most definitely going to use jackie (precious paws) in future reference.
Great dog sitter/walker. Never a problem leaving my dog there. 👍👍👍 …
Gr8 place
I have taken my dog Skip here on several occasions for day care. I am extremely satisfied with the results of these visits and can't say enough about how confident I am with giving them the care and responsibility for my dog during that time. I will be taking him there on a regular basis from now on.
Dogwood is an absolute lifesaver! Our high-energy Border Collie/German Shepherd mix has boarded at Dogwood over 10 times, and we couldn't be happier with their care. She can be a bit anxious, but it's clear she feels right at home there. The staff is incredibly loving and attentive, and we always feel completely at ease knowing she’s in such good hands. We especially appreciate the pictures they send us while we’re away – it's so nice to see her happy face!
My three family dogs have been visiting Dogwood Ranch for many years now- on a very regular basis. We utilize the transportation option and they bolt out the front door and into the transporters car every time. They love their visits to "camp Dogwood." Jessica and her amazing team have nursed my dog through a genetic illness and shared in the joys of new puppies. They have trained my dogs excellently and have provided me videos of the training sessions so I know what to work on at home. The staff is so helpful and organized. I often forget to select my grooming and they always follow up before my boys come home and ask if I want grooming. If I call or text, I get a very quick response. They keep all of the kennels and play areas very clean. All dogs have to be up to date on vaccines and thankfully, they require bordetella vaccine every 6 months. My dogs have NEVER come home with any illness or issues. I appreciate that they require a temperament visit for each new client, it makes me feel very secure that my dogs will not be with any aggressive dogs. During my dogs visits, I receive photos so often. On holidays, they take photos of the dogs with a festive background. I have utilized almost every boarding option at one point or another. The selection is big-- extra cuddles, sleeping inside, extra play time, treats, etc. The grooming options are always expanding and my dogs come home clean and smelling so nice each time-- with clean teeth! My dogs come home tired and very happy every time. They spend a couple of days being very lazy after their time at "camp." There is no other boarding facility I would utilize for our family dogs. Ever. I trust Jessica and her team more than anything. I know that they are professional, kind, and absolutely treat my dogs like family.
Highly recommend! A well run pet resort in every way. Highly organized, almost all sizes and breeds accommodated. Your pets' health and well-being are a top priority and not an afterthought.
The facility is very clean and well maintained. I took Gracie for a "temperament check" which is required before you can board your dog. I like that they check out the dogs and place your dog in the group your dog would feel most comfortable in. I look forward to boarding Gracie, it gives me peace of mind that she will be well taken care of.
My boy loves going to Dogwood! There are multiple yards to match dogs of similar age with similar play styles. I love how it is all outdoors, and my boy enjoys it way more than indoor play yards. The staff there is always so nice and let's me know how his day went. They even send pictures and videos during the day! During the holidays, they also dress some of the dogs up to take pictures, it's so cute! Dogwood is definitely the best doggy day care we've been to!
We love the staff and facilities at Dogwood Ranch Pet Resort! Yara has been going to doggie daycare weekly and occasional boarding. She whines and howls when we arrive and can’t wait to get in there and see her buddies. She had a great bath yesterday and looks and smells so much better! The staff is very attentive and the large outdoor areas give the dogs plenty of space to play. Our neighbor recommended the ranch, and we are happy to have found a good and caring doggie daycare and boarding place!
Tons of amazing experiences for day care, good citizenship training & boarding for our labrador over the past 3 years :) We moved away to the Bay Area but keep on driving back for the professional services. HIGHLY recommended.
Our Yorkies had a great time here while we were visiting Monterey. Great facility and staff. They immediately responded to our text and requests. Definitely recommend.
Our experience exceeded expectations. Communication is phenomenal. They worked diligently with me throughout our pup’s stay, which offered us peace of mind and comfort. Our pup is always overjoyed when we drop him off. He comes home clean, tired, and very happy. I applaud them for all the fun stuff they do and especially for keeping our pup safe and healthy.
They are such a great place . They took care of my uncles dog for a month as he was in rehab due to a fall. They loved Mali so much and took care of as he was one of their own. Highly recommend
We had a great experience using TLC. My dog stayed for a week and really enjoyed getting to be with the other dogs. Gail is great to deal with and clearly loves dogs. She even made my dog a Christmas stocking!
Gail took our dog for 2 weeks over Christmas. We were a little concerned that she's getting old and being in a pack of dogs would be stressful but from the reports and the contented doggy we got back, everything clearly went well. Gail clearly loves dogs and goes the extra mile to make them comfortable - though dressing them up in christmas sweaters might have been a tad too far ;-) Highly recommend and will absolutely use the service again.
I've known Gail for 18 years. She is super with the animals. Her vans are really nice and comfy for the pets. She helped me keep my disabled dog clean for years, and now is grooming my cat! The cat was really good. That is a testament to Gails skill.
I usually take my elderly dog to a shop, but I got tired of him being in a cage all day. A friend reccomended TLC to me and I LOVED their service AND I LOVED Buff. He was very patient with my dog, and after the grooming Charlie looked better and I could tell felt better too! We will never put Charlie in a cage again!
This place is a terrible boarding facility. I considered boarding my dog here so I called and spoke to Gail. I checked out the website and watched the video online. Gail seemed very nice on the phone and offered for me to come and visit before I committed to boarding. Fortunately, I took her up on a visit. The facility is Gail's house and looks just like the video with one big difference, it is FILTHY. When I first got there, Gail took me out to the back where the dogs are kept. We went past the pool which looked like the cover had never been taken off. There were 10 or 12 dogs all barking behind a gate. Gail got a squirt bottle full of water and started spraying them all in the face to make them stop barking. It didn't work. This was the first sign that this was not a good place to board my dog. She took me to the inside area where the dogs sleep. There were lots of wooden dog beds like in the video, except they have all been chewed apart and the pillows and blankets are gone. There was one dog chewing pieces of wood off one of the frames. Gail squirted it in the face and the dog went back to chewing off wood pieces. There were torn up pieces of bedding all over the floor and yard. The windows were disgusting and covered in a dirty film. The floor was filthy. She took me outside to the backyard area where the dogs get to run around. It was pretty small. The energy and tension was very high. It was obvious that most of those dogs had not been exercised well enough. Many were trying to dominate one another, and two got into a fight and were biting each others faces. Gail squirted them in the face and pulled one away. There was a dog running around with a lease on and Gail told me that the dog didn't listen well so she kept the leash on it to grab it in case she needed to. She said that it helped build trust with the dog if the dog got stuck. The dog would have to ask her for help. Gail seemed to forget that a dog that is choking to death can't ask for help. Gail then showed me the "kitchen" where the dog food is prepared. It was filthy. She showed me the grooming room which was also filthy. This was also where she had put the dog that had gotten into the fight but it had jumped out the window into the front area. She said it was ok because he wouldn't run away. What if that had been my dog? It is my impression that the dogs Gail cares for are mostly hers and her neighbors, friends, or few regular clients because they are the same dogs as in the video. It is my impression they are unsupervised most of the time. They have an unstable pack mentality and are not exercised enough. They are not in a safe environment and could potentially eat wood or other harmful things or escape. If you board your dog here, Gail will squirt it in the face if it barks or misbehaves instead of addressing the problem appropriately. The price she asked is the same price as at a legitimate boarding facility that offers constant supervision and safe play time. I will never board my dog here and I don't recommend anyone does.
Horrible experience! First day, our dog was there, she ended up in emergency! Who was watching the dog while the supervisor was sleeping? Location was convenient, but the dog care is questionable?!?! I feel terrible for recommending this place to anyone😢 …
Can't hate what you can see... I've called this place a number of times and put in requests on their site. Not one return call. The 831 number on this page takes you straight to a voicemail that hasn't been setup yet. The 408 number just rings and then voicemail...
Gail went above and beyond to show me how to care for my dogs teeth and did a lovely job grooming her.
Had a great experience with my highly sensitive dog getting groomed here! So kind and caring- clearly a true dog person! ❤️
Absolutely the best dog sitting experience I have ever had. I truly wish more places were as easy and as quality as Signature Paw Spa. We were very lucky for a last minute puppy sitters Josh and Sheadon that took great care of our little girl. They asked all important questions and were very professional. I can tell our little one was well cared for. I also really love that they give you the option for the pet to be dropped off to you! Thanks so much guys!
So my friends and I rarely get days off together. When we did we decided to go to Monterey. We brought our 2 dogs and unfortunately we cant bring them to Aquarium. Last minute I called Signature Paw Spa and luckily they have availability. I dropped my dogs just 15-20 mins after I called them and we all were able to go to the aquarium. They are really nice people and had kept me updated about my babies from time to time and My babies seemed to have enjoyed their time at Tonya's. I definitely recommend them
It was my first time leaving my 5 month old puppy with a pet sitter, and Signature Pet Spa/Tonya was awesome to put both me and my pup at ease. Tonya managed to work me in even though I called the day before I needed a pet sitter. She sent updates and pictures of my puppy enjoying her day, and my pup came back to me happy and well exercised when I picked her up. I definitely will be using Signature Pet Spa again!
Hands down the best dog experience!!!! I’ve used many dog services while traveling and I have to say ginger loved this place the moment she arrived. The owner came out to greet her and I when we arrived, which is a wonderful added bonus compared to some other place I have been to. The property offers a big grassy area for her to run and play, I was thrilled to see Tanya bonded perfectly from the moment ginger arrived. The pick up process was smooth and efficient since I was rushing to get back out of town. I would recommend this place to everyone with a beloved dog.
We boarded our lab with Signature Paw Spa while on a long cruise. This is a remarkable dog boarding company that provides warmth and care. The owner of Signature Paw Spa is an inspiration and a true leader. Under her guidance, she has cultivated a staff that mirrors her values and goes above and beyond to create a nurturing and loving environment for dogs, and their owners. They took the time to understand my dog's needs, preferences, and quirks. The facilities at Signature Paw Spa are top-notch, with immaculate and spacious accommodations designed to provide comfort and security. What truly sets Signature Paw Spa apart is the personal touch that permeates every interaction. We received updates and photos which provided a sense of reassurance and allowed me to stay connected, even when physically apart. Signature Paw Spa is a true gem among dog boarding facilities. From the heartfelt dedication of the owner to the exceptional care provided by the staff, this establishment exceeds expectations at every turn.
We called to get last minute day care for our dog, Gunner, during the US Open. The owner was so accommodating and made our pup feel right at home. If you are traveling to the area from out of town I would highly recommend this place if you are in need of doggie day care!
Signature Paw Spa is a life saver. My dog sitter canceled last minute on me and I was able to get my dog Charlie in at Signature Paw Spa. They sent me lots of pictures and videos of him playing with all his other little friends. Charlie was in their care for 3 days and he had a fabulous time! Thank you Signature Paw spa for saving my trip!
Tonya was so nice and accommodating - we asked for overnight boarding on the weekend with no notice and she was able to take our dog no problem. We got a few updates during his stay and felt very confident that he was getting great care in a wonderful setting. We would absolutely go to signature paw spa again!
Signature Paw Spa is the absolute best pet sitting service in the area.. I know my dog is in wonderful company when I leave him with Signature Paw Spa.. I love how the owner will take pictures and send them to me throughout his time with them.. He always looks so happy and like he is hanging such a blast.. I would most definitely highly recommend Signature Paw Spa for any pet sitting services you need while in the area.. I love them and can't recommend them enough.. Thank you Signature Paw Spa for always taking wonderful care of my sweet Kirby
i highly recommend SPS. Tonya the owner is VERY VERY organized and was very easy to communicate with. The dog sitting part of her business is at a large lovely home in Carmel. Convenient location for Monterey, Carmel and Big Sur. Tonya coordinated everything and was so nice to be flexible to our travel plans.. Decker was given lots attention and came back to us very happy
I can’t recommend Pacific Paw enough!! My pup Lulu is always soo excited to see them in the morning and comes home a tired happy pup. Some of the things I love about them - positive training techniques, all the staff is smiling and happy when they pick up the pups. Love the pictures and emails with notes of how the day went. If you want a happy pup check them out!
Michelle is a VERY good dog trainer. She came to our house for all our sessions with our 17 month old King Charles cavalier spaniel, Nikki. Michelle has a calm, consistent approach to her training. Our little one was very responsive. Most importantly, Michelle is really good at teach the humans how to follow through with the training exercises, leaves you with written instructions and follows up between training sessions. Unless the human is trained, the dog can’t be trained. Nikki was able to learn all the basic commands and address some specific behaviors we wanted addressed. Without hesitation, I would recommend Michelle for trying any dog.
We recently attended a puppy class at Pacific Paw with our 7-month-old puppy, Sunny, and we couldn't be more pleased with the experience! Working with the owner, Michelle, was an absolute delight. Her expertise and passion for dog training truly shine through in every session. Both my partner and I learned a tremendous amount from Michelle. Her approach is not only effective but also incredibly engaging, making the learning process enjoyable for both us and Sunny. Since starting the class, Sunny has shown remarkable improvement. He listens to us more attentively and has mastered new tricks like laying down. Additionally, his interactions with both humans and other dogs have significantly improved, thanks to the socialization skills he picked up during the class. We are excited for more classes in the future with Pacific Paw. I would highly recommend Pacific Paw to anyone looking for a puppy training experience.
Pacific Paw welcomed us into their family 9 months ago, and I am so so happy to have met these wonderful women. They give 10,000% to the doggos daily, rain or shine. They are filled with love, patience and all speak dog fluently. I have a 90lb timid boy and they took the time to make sure he was always comfortable and loved and having a grand ol time back at day care. We call them the aunties and they truly are that to Otis. He loves them, and the whole dog crew there. Every day I get a full report on all the happenings, with occasional dress-up moments included :), and their instagram also keeps me constantly up to date if I need some dog space out time during my day. Doggie day care is so much more than just your dog getting exercise. It's about community, it's about teaching your dog independence, it's allowing them to have a stable group of friends to feel comfortable with outside of their nucleus family. Raising a dog can take a village, and I'm so grateful to have this amazing Pacific Paw community as Otey's village.
Michelle is a top tier dog trainer! She is gentle and compassionate toward the animals' experience, and is effective in her training. I truly can't say enough good things. I trust her more than anyone I know or any trainer on the internet. I know she will always go above and beyond to understand why my dog is acting the way she is and help me gain understanding and compassion for the 'bad' behavior. She truly cares. Not only is she comfortable and skilled with animals, she's good with humans too, and is a joy to communicate with and learn from. Highly highly highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for dog and puppy training; she's the one I turn to personally and recommend to friends and family. Thank you Michelle!
Michelle, the owner, and all of the Aunties at Pacific Paw are the absolute best and I can't recommend them highly enough. They are deeply knowledgeable, professional, caring, kind, and flexible. They send a detailed report (with the best photos ever!) after every daycare session and regular newsletters, always taking care to ensure the safety and comfort of the pups. We're so grateful that we can feel confident that our pup is living her best life during her days with Pacific Paw.
Michelle and her team are wonderful! Dog lovers all, and all loved by our dog Topsy who is so excited each time they pick her up and she joins the pack for the ride to their morning walk. She then loves to stay and play with her friends for the afternoon session. They are always reliable, great communicators, send wonderful pictures each day. We are so glad we found this well-run dog care service with such wonderful people. They are the best!
Pacific Paw is amazing! Penelope loves the gang. She gets to spend a lot of time with Michelle -her favorite dog walker EVER. She's excited every time we drop her off. Highly recommend, woof!
We found Michelle shortly after welcoming a new puppy to our household and had a great experience working with her. She came to our home and listened closely to our goals and concerns and was tremendously helpful, both with setting a strong foundation of training for our new guy and working with our older dog to ease her reluctance sharing her space. Michelle is equally great at training people and helped us humans feel competent and confident navigating puppyhood and beyond.
There isn't any person I'd trust more with my dog Meeka than Michelle at Pacific Paw. She's reliable, communicates with me, and always ensures my hyper shepherd mix gets plenty of exercise and socialization. Meeka even seems better behaved when I walk her now, thanks so much M!
I cannot explain how much amazing this daycare is! From great communication to hilarious conversations. They sent videos of my pup and it was just a overall great experience. I was on a work traveling long-term for two months coming from Florida and they worked great with my schedule and super affordable. I was very nervous because my little Doxie is still a puppy and have not been to a daycare or interaction with other dogs in a new setting. Desjardins immediately welcomed her with love and she was in love with them and had so much. She made her first friends at this Daycare and I love the daycare so much they are overall great kind people. If you are looking for a daycare... I AM TELLING YOU, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO REGRET IT! It was worth driving 40 minutes to drop her off at daycare because of how great they are.
We just brought out ten year old terrier mix, Chewy, for a week of boarding with Sara and Kevin. We’ve needed to have him boarded before when we’ve gone out of town and have taken him to other places, but this was top notch. We received videos of Chewy on his vacation, and they contacted us with concerns of his allergies bothering him and came up with a plan to help him get some relief from his allergies and treated him with love and care. We can’t say enough good things about the peace of mind and care they provided to me and my husband and our dog Chewy. We picked him up today and he’s been snoozing ever since, likely because he was so busy and caught up in the excitement with having so many new dog and human friends ❤️
Wow! We are local but were going out of town, and used Desjardines for boarding for our two poodle mixes in their first boarding experience. From tip to tail, everything was perfect. Kevin and Sara were happy to answer all of our (many) questions, and gave us a tour ahead of time. Drop off was easy, and our dogs happily trotted off with Kevin. While we were gone we got videos of our pups being loved on and playing. Before we picked them up, they got a complimentary bath. Pick up was similarly a breeze. They are currently passed out, exhausted and happy after definitely having one of the best weeks of their lives. Not to mention, Kevin was so generous in helping us create a bathing routine for our doodles, whose matting is always an issue. Thank you! We will be back!
Desjardins Dog Day care is the best thing to happen to my dog! I am so happy to have found them. They take such good care of us. They keep track of our pup's vaccine records for us. They offer boarding and training. They offer pick up and delivery. They offer to rinse her off before sending her home. My pup is SO happy to go every week. The whole team is SUPER nice. My pup is a pittie and when we adopted her, she was inexperienced being in a house. She was scared. She chewed everything. She pottied in the house. I couldn't take her out on enough walks to get her energy settled. Then, within a couple weeks of going to dog day care at Desjardins, a switch flipped in our pup. She settled down at home and became the ultimate snuggly couch potato in the house. These folks are life savers. I can't say enough about how wonderful they are with our dog.
Simply the best - My 12 year old dog got 2 play with other seniors and had his own nice private shelter and couch. Everything was very clean and very well managed.
We've boarded our blind dog Maize here twice and he loves it. We get regular videos of him having fun playing with the other dogs and wagging his tail. He gets to spend lots of time outside and has a cozy spot to sleep near his friends. We're super happy we found a place that takes good care of Maize. And the socializing and outdoor time is a huge plus for us -- he loves it, and Sara and Kevin do a lot to accommodate him and his disability. Strongly recommend.
Desjardins Dog Care took care our two Greet Pyrenees dog for a week and did an absolutely great job. Our dogs are young, 2 and 3 years old, and we had not kenneled them before, so I we were a bit nervous. Sara and Kevin sent us videos every day, and it was so obvious our dogs were having a great time, and genuinely enjoyed their hosts. I am not sure they even wanted to come home!
Mecca is as great with humans as she is dogs! She has a welcoming and trusting demeanor and professionalism that lend to her skills of coordinating our changing plans while giving our pit bull the attention and love she deserves while we're away. Mecca's adaptability and skills at taking care of our dog in our home is appreciated and leaves us confident that our dog and home are safe in her hands. Mecca is awesome!
Personable, professional, trustworthy and loves your pets!! We have been using Mecca and her team for over a year and they have never let us down! They always followup after visits with photos and they are so sweet with our dogs. Highly recommended!
Mecca and her crew are absolutely wonderful! I received daily pictures and constant updates. We even had to coordinate an unexpected vet visit while we were gone and Mecca handled it beautifully - I didn’t have to worry about my fur babies for one moment.
Mecca has been taking care of my pups for over 3 years. My boys feel like they are home every time they see her. Whether we are at her house or ours I know they are safe and are in amazing hands! I would recommend her to anyone and everyone looking for someone to take care of their babies.
Mecca is hands down the most amazing pet sitter I have ever come in contact with. She is so helpful and makes sure you feel very comfortable while you're away. Whenever I leave town I know my fur babies are in the best care possible. Thank-you Mecca!!
Mecca has always loved animals. But she doesn't just do pet sitting! If you are going on a short or extended trip, she will spend time with your pets while you're away. She also does dog walking, as well.
Mecca is amazing! My dogs literally go straight to her house when they occasionally escape the yard. They LOVE her and so do I! HIGHLY recommend!
Mecca is the best and really cares for the animals that she sits and walks. I only use it for one service however I plan on using her for more.
Does a great job watching our dogs
Tried to charge $115 a night as if it were a Four Seasons Pet Resort.
Robin's Nest pet care is the absolute best! We have had two of our dogs at Robin's Nest over the years. Our ridgeback Gus is super shy and has been terrified of other boarding places, but loves Robin's Nest. He scratches at the door when we arrive to get inside! We have no worries when we leave Gus for extended periods for travel, and he loves daycare there. Robin and her team are top notch and I love the kennel-free comfortable atmosphere. Robin, Kelly and their team treat our Gussy like their own. Cannot say enough good things about them!
We've been taking our dog to Robin's Nest for about five years now. It's his second home. Robin, Kelli and the rest of the staff are great. They know each dog--his or her home circumstances, care needs and spirit. They walk the dogs, provide treats, and play with them during the day. There is a vast yard area, providing room to roam. Overnight, the dogs sleep in a large room on mattresses and dog beds; no kennels or crates. Once we hit the driveway, our dog jumps from the car eager for another day. We depend on Robin and her crew and trust them completely. I can't imagine a dog getting better care anywhere.
Our dog does not tolerate being alone. Robin's Nest has become extended family. He is happy to go. We have left him for days at a time, as well as, daycare. It is a safe and healthy environment with responsible and experienced people. Don't think a better place can be found.
I have been taking my pups to Robin’s Nest since I moved to the area around 4 years ago. When my pup, with crazy separation anxiety, barrels his way into her yard because he can’t wait to see the staff and other dogs, you know that they are being treated right and they are loved. Robin and staff are amazing, caring and are like extended family.
Robyn s Nest was such a blessing for us! It s a completely unique and family-like setting for your dog. No kennels, great yard space, everyone sleeps on their doggie beds in her home right next to her. It s like a doggie slumber party! At the same time Robyn is very professional and takes the responsibility of looking after your loved one very seriously. There are usually quite a few dogs staying with her and she takes the time to meet any newcomers and makes certain they will get along with the group before she accepts them. This made us feel very safe taking our GSP to her for the first time. We knew that every dog had been screened by her first. Our dog Hunter is very active and needs lots of exercise. Robyn and her wonderful assistant Kelli, made sure that he went on bike rides, walks and even trips to the beach everyday. Hunter stayed with her for ten days over the 4th of July week and we soon discovered that he was very afraid of fireworks. We were surprised, as we hunt with him and he is around gun fire. However, the situation was very well handled. Robyn took the time to comfort him and he even scored the place of honor sleeping right in her bed! (Where he was hiding from the fireworks of course.) When it was time for us to come get him, he was very happy to see us but I think he might have liked it if we could have all moved in, so he wouldn’t have to say goodbye to his new friends! I HIGHLY recommend Robyn s Nest to anyone who needs a pet sitter! You will have complete peace of mind while you are away knowing your dog is being loved and having great play time with other dogs. This was a wonderful experience and Hunter can t wait to go back again to play! Thank you Robyn and Kelli!
Thanks so much for you kindness toward our Hero. You are so generous and thoughtful. Hero had a great time at your wonderful place, She left smiling. This was such a kind act after our huge fire, we appreciate you and your staff. Thanks to the firefighters our home was saved and we will soon be on our way back home.
Being going since my dog was a pup. Great people, safe, reliable and the type of overnight boarding I wanted for my dog. No crates or separation. Highly recommend.
They love my dog!!!
My dog Archie loves coming to stay and play at Red Rover! He practically drags me to the door as soon as we get out of the car. I love Red Rover too and have a blast watching him and his pals play on the webcams. It is better then reality television. I strongly recommend giving them a try...your dog will thank you with a shower of wet kisses.
NEVER BOARDING OUR FUR BABY @ REDROVER AGAIN It was first and last time we boarded our baby here. We were very excited to board our 10 months old playful and friendly fur baby at REDROVER thinking that he will be safe and happy. (NOT RELIABLE ) He was very happy when playing with other dogs but it only lasted for 3 out of 5 days(we saw that in LIVE camera). He was not given group play time for 2 full days which was promised. (INJURIES) He was not SAFE from RedRover’s own staff. When we left our puppy we requested the staff to “not spray water on him but if they do please dry him up.” But looks like they did extreme opposite , we saw them spraying water on him (again on LIVE camera) and left him as is i.e. drenched! He got multiple HOT SPOTS behind both his ears and we were never informed until we came in to pick him up even. See the photos attached. REDROVER staff was very chill about our baby’s injuries and took no care of it but Vet confirmed that this was as worst as it can get. We spent generous amount on examinations and medicines for our baby but our pet’s health and safety is more important than anything. We were so disappointed with how our fur baby treated. We hope people first read this post before making their decision of leaving their babies with irresponsible staff of RedRover so that they don’t go though same pain and safety issues.
My baby boy loves going to daycare here. He's always excited to go and always happy when I pick him up. Very caring and attentive staff and a wide variety of dogs to play with.
My Pomeranian Jax has never been the most social with other dogs as he’s just more interested in people, but each time I bring him here for a few day stay he comes home happy and exhausted! The caretakers say he makes new friends every time! They truly love taking care of dogs! I enjoy watching him on the cameras too!
Look after our dog really well for short or long stays. He enjoys his time there and the little customization they do. Priced reasonably to make it financially possible to take him one or two days a week.
I have uses Red Rover Milpitas multiple times in the past year. The facility is very nice, spacious and clean. The have different options for boarding, including baths which is very handy if you drop your pets for long duration. The camera access gives you peace of mind as you can see your loved ones playing with their friends daily.. My dog always goes in happy and comes back safe and healthy. I definitely recommend Red Rover for a safe and healthy stay for your kids.
Jeremy and staff are always amazing! 🤩 They have been so great and accommodating with my little mini beast. She loves to come here and play with all of her friends! I also love that I can look on the camera and see/watch her play in the yard live! 10/10 recommend to anyone and everyone! 💜 Thank you all so much for all that you do! …
This is our go to spot for our dogs when we take week long vacations and when we take weekend trips. They take good care of our pups and our pups love the time they spend at Red Rover. I love the fact that they have a bath option because sometimes when you return home from a trip you don’t want to bathe your dog but it’s necessary.
My 2 year old Husky had the opportunity to be boarded with Red Rover for 9 days while we were visiting family across the country. From what I could tell she had an amazing time, the staff was attentive to her and all her puppy friends. On top of that the ability to check in on her throughout the day on the camera in the play area was great. I will say that she likes to hide around the corner in the blind spot of the play area, but she would pop out for love from the staff who was monitoring the pups, to check out the little pups through the fence or grab water. I additionally loved that she was featured on their instagram page/stories. We will be back for sure!
I took my husky and Petti for grooms both looked great and happy when I picked them up plus I like the fact they have a open space area to play while waiting to get pick up. When I called to book another grooming appt for both my furry babies gentleman said they could only take the petti because my husky was to difficult which is a first for me to hear since he does so well at PetSmart and Lush Spaw never have I ever gotten a complaint for my husky.
Patty is a very kind loving person that loves animals. She's very patient and reliable and will take very good care of your pet. As if it was her own.
Love this place. Great dog care!
