Florence and Robert were outstanding sitters. We asked them to arrive a day early as our guests to learn the routine on our farm. In getting to know them we found them to be good hearted, down to earth people with a love of animals and diligent in learning our routines to care for our poultry, cats and dog as well as our garden and orchard. Not a typical or easy sit. We travelled with ease knowing our critters were being well taken care of. Arriving home, the house was very clean and looked well cared for. The animals were healthy as were the garden and orchard. Out pets missed them when they left – our dog stared down the driveway after them until their car was out of sight. It is nice to find sitters we would like to hang out with and we look forward to having them sit for us again.
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!
We were very lucky to have had Nia for our recent house sit. She communicated well before the sit and arrived as planned. We shared a meal before we left which gave us time to get to know her and tell her about the house and our pets. After we left it soon became clear the cats loved Nia and the attention she gave them. We were kept informed throughout her stay with regular updates and video clips of what they were up to and how the garden was growing etc. We highly recommend Nia as a pet/house sitter and we would certainly have her back should the opportunity arise. Thanks again Nia
Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
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.
Amber is as good a sitter as you will find anywhere! She treated our cats with such love and care, as if they were her own. She left our house in perfect tiptop tidy shape, and made sure to wash all the towels and linens before she left. She even cleaned out our coffee maker and took up our weekly trash without us even mentioning it! Amber is super kind and personable and we welcome her back to sit for us anytime! If you are looking for a sitter, you should definitely accept her application!
Marianna was an incredible house sitter and cat sitter. She gave our property and sweet kitty top notch care. She is kind, easy to communicate with, thorough, etc. Would highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed.
We knew that we would have a good experience with Carole & Ron from the moment we first had a video chat with them. They are very experienced house sitters and it showed in the questions they asked about our cats and our home. We were so fascinated by them that we invited them to arrive a day early so that we could all go out for lunch and then dinner to hear about their travel stories and share a few of our own. When we left, we felt very confident in our choice and took off on our trip with confidence that our dear kitties would be well cared for. We were not disappointed as Carole & Ron sent us photos and an update the very next day to let us know that all was well. During the next two weeks, we never had a moment of concern and fully enjoyed our vacation knowing that these seasoned sitters were both looking after our place and also enjoying themselves exploring our wonderful city of Philadelphia. We came home to two very happy cats, a clean house, and even a full bowl of fresh fruit on our kitchen counter. We would absolutely have Carole & Ron sit for us again and we wish them the very best of fun and exploration in their future adventures!
Elyse was one of the best pet sitters we've ever met! Couldn't recommend her more. We hope she stays at our place again. She sent many pictures of our beloved cats throughout our absence. We returned to our cats seeming relaxed and happy as ever. She also left our apartment sparkling clean. 10/10 :)
Super nice sitters and extremely flexible. Really enjoyed their company and I only regret that I was too frazzled to chat with them more and get to know them! Kept the house super clean, pets loved them. Dog especially. Had a little problem with my new kitten not meshing well with the older cats (which was not too surprising since cats can be territorial). Pennee was very patient and gave me constant updates and tips. And the older cat was much more calm when I came home. Highly recommend and welcome back anytime!
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, $20/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!
Elite Dogs is an outstanding place for training and a great place to board. We have had 4 dogs trained there and always consider them for our boarding needs. Shared kennels work great for our dogs. Friendly, efficient and good care takers for our furry friends. Board with confidence and enjoy your time away. Reserve early, they book up fast.
I have been taking my dogs here for years. They like my dogs and my dogs like it there too. Also, I appreciate that they are reasonably priced and don't try to upsell me for every little thing they do for my dogs like some of the other kennels around town.
It was the first time dropping our dog Pinto at Elite. We were so nervous that Pinto would have a difficult time transitioning, but instead he loves it here. From the moment we dropped him off, Elite owner and staff made him feel comfortable. He received so much attention during the time he was there, we don’t think he wanted to go home when we picked him up. We already booked his next visit.
We had our first consultation today. Lots of good valid information and suggestions. I am very excited to learn and watch my pup settle into better routine and mind. The facility is clean and the staff is very friendly and caring.
Elite dogs is a well run very friendly business. My dog Mushroom loves to go to daycare there.
We love this place. We have been going there about 9 years. One of our dogs had training there when he was a pup and it was a life saver 😊. We know every time we leave our 2 pups there that they are well taken care of and we don’t worry at all. Thank you elite dog training and boarding. …
We have a very dog reactive rescue dog. She was difficult to walk or bring out the house because of how reactive she was. We tried different training with positive reinforcement and treat based training but nothing worked. We eventually reached out to Elite Dogs because of the great reviews we saw. There's a reason for the long wait times. Initially, I was skeptical about the pronged collar, but it really was what our dog needed to learn how to be a member of our pack. We're continuing to make gains, but Elite Dogs laid down the foundation for success. I highly recommend this company for dog training needs.
Elite dogs was great for boarding my two large dogs. One being a golden/border collie mix and the other a golden doodle, Elite dogs was able to get both of them in fairly last minute and took great care of them. Check-in and check-out process was seamless and I got my babies back smelling better than when I left them (thanks to the extra bath services they offered).
Took my German Shepherd, Zeus to Elite to be boarded for 5 days and they took great care of him! The staff is awesome. He was happy and healthy when we picked him up. Definitely recommend Elite Dogs
Went for a consult and was very pleased. Dee is super cool and is going to help me get my pup up to speed with commands and obedience. This place has it dialed in. Several people from work highly recommended Elite Dog Training and so far I’m impressed.
Adventure awaits is beyond amazing! If I could give Jenn and her staff more than 5 stars I would. My dog Capone is so happy to go here he literally pulls me up the steps! Jenn sends me pictures and videos of him and he looks like he’s having a blast. Before I found Adventure Awaits, I took him to another boarding facility and Capones attitude is night and day. He’s so much happier and so well taken care of. It’s such a relief for me that I don’t have to worry about him when he’s here.
Leah LOVES coming to daycare and hanging out with all the other dogs and Jennie. I love getting all the pictures of the pups playing together and hearing about Leah's stories when I come and pick her up! Her confidence has grown so much at Adventure Awaits and it's all because the environment and space that Jennie has created! We are so lucky to have Adventure Awaits take such great care of our girl!! Leah is always begging to go back!!!
My dog has been a frequent flyer of a number of doggy daycares since she was a puppy because we’ve moved around a lot. I can always tell how comfortable and happy she is at a place based on her reaction when I drop her off. To say she’s excited to go to Adventure Awaits every week would be an understatement. She practically drags me around the block and into the lobby the second she knows where we’re going. She always runs straight to the door leading to the play area without a second glance. Knowing how happy and well taken care of she is there makes me excited for the days she gets to go to daycare. Jenn is incredible and so attuned to each dog’s personality. The pictures she sends of the pups are always the best part of my day. My only regret is not bringing my pup here sooner, but we are SO glad to have found this absolute gem of a daycare!
I am super over protective with my dog Ollie (probably to a fault), but I felt completely comfortable and safe taking him here! At one point, we really needed help and had to take him to doggy daycare 3/week and it was a great experience! I could tell Ollie had lots of fun. Jen and Amy answered all of my questions and made us feel really comfortable!
Today was one of Adventure Awaits dog parties. Halloween festivities all day! My dog loved it! She is so tired from all of the fun. My dog and I loved Jenn's previous location and this new location did not disappoint. The lobby is absolutely adorable! Decorated so cute and smells so clean. I always feel so at peace when my pup is in Jenn's hands. She has the whole dog daycare/boarding process perfected. Thanks for being awesome!
Everything about Jen and Adventure Awaits is above and beyond! My dog Zoey adores going and adores Jen and the other great people who work there. Zoey has made so many friends and gets to let all of her crazy energy out :) She has separation anxiety and can't be left at home alone, so Adventure Awaits is her home away from home. I truly don't know what I would do without Jen! Zoey goes multiple times a week and boarded for 2 weeks when I went to Europe over the summer. Jen took her in even though she was very new to the daycare at the time and made her part of the family. I absolutely recommend it to anyone who needs some help with their pups!
Adventure Awaits is absolutely the best. Jennie is so professional and helps your dogs be the best version of themselves. Our dogs needed some socialization after we started working from home and Jennie was just the expert to help with that. Could not recommend Adventure Awaits more!
After having first play day, Jen said my 6 months old puppy was well with other dogs except he had excessive barking in the crate, but she said it’s something we can work on it, so I purchased 10 full day daycare package, and I dropped off my puppy a couple days after his first play day. Unlike the first trial day, Jen did not send any photos or any update, so I texted her after my lunch asking how my dog is doing. The answer I got was that my dog has been very barky and that she will still work on it. About an hour later Jen texted me back if I could take my dog home because he’s been barking a lot. And she said “In time he will get there with more crate time at home.” Then, I asked her how long she keeps him in the crate. Instead of answering my question, she said “It’s in the crate and out of the crate. Just going to take some time. He’s young :)” My dog sleeps in his crate at night with no problem at home. When I went there to pick him up, I was shocked, and it was heart breaking to see how my puppy looked like. Jen said he was mounting other dogs every 10 min and been barking since he was dropped off, so she put him in the bathroom crate. My dog looked filthy, both of his front legs and face were all wet and looked lost and very anxious. Jen also told me to try other daycare. Since that day, it ruined my dog’s entire night routine. He becomes very anxious and cries in his crate. I attempted to crate train him again, but it ends up bringing his traumatized memory again with uncontrolled diarrhea. Jen is the one who evaluate my dog for entire day during the first “play day” and who accepted him. I understand that he may have been difficult with other dogs because he’s still a puppy without much experience with other dogs around. Instead of isolating him in bathroom crate (which I don’t even know how it looks like because all of the daycare site is all hidden behind the fence), she could’ve given him a little TLC. I decided to take my dog to Adventure Awaits Dog Daycare after carefully reviewing all the reviews, but I regret my decision so much now. You can’t just rely on 5 star reviews until you actually try it. Maybe my dog wasn’t just a good fit there
We love & care very much for our two “fur babies” & who doesn’t. Pete & Cookie are just as you see black & white. One is a large & in charge frenchie & the other is a mix we rescued. Adventure Awaits treats our dogs as they do their own. The one on one care & direct attention to the little’ns allows them to get to know each pups needs & their unique personalities. Our kids love to go & spend time where we & they know they are safe & cared for. Both are always wore out from the play time & interaction with their friends. We will go nowhere else! Side note, they are open from 7 pm -11 pm on weekends. Enjoy a night out downtown & you don’t have to leave the kids home alone!
My dog Rudy is so happy at Adventure Awaits Dog Daycare! He can't wait to get out of the car when we arrive. Jen embraced my pup immediately, with so much love and care, and that put me at ease while I work. She sends a lot of photos during the day so I know that he's ok. Amy and Kori are fantastic too - they are true dog lovers and will love your dog as their own! The pups get to exercise on their walks around the center (indoors) and play with the other pups at Adventure Awaits. They also get a rest break in their crates during the day. Don't hesitate to bring your pup here - he or she will be loved mightily and have a blast! PS - They have grooming/bathing services too - it's the best all--in-one doggy day care in Sacramento and beyond!
