I'm delighted to have found Lisa as a sitter and hope to have her back again! She was detail oriented and clearly cared about my cats' well being. She asked good questions about the cats' routines and needs and about the house to be sure she'd meet my expectations and have a comfortable and successful sit. She communicated very well before and throughout the sit and even though I was unreachable for much of the time I was confident everyone was in good hands. Lisa left the house in immaculate condition and the cats were relaxed and happy when I got home. What a delight!
I was fortunate to have Hillary return for a second sit. She took excellent care of both my cat and my home. She got on well with my neighbors and even allowed my friend to come visit Suley while she was there. I especially appreciate how flexible and accommodating she was regarding arrangements for a sitter who would be taking over for the second part of my very long absence. All in all, Hillary is a gem!
There are not enough words in the English language to express my deepest gratitude to Teresa and all the amazing love and care she showed my sweet cat Milo. From the moment she met Milo, I knew there was going to be a very special bond. He instantly relaxed when he first met and already looked so happy and at peace with her. The bond between the two of them only seemed to get stronger and stronger with every day that I was away. This two-week trip was so important for me as it was the first real "vacation" I had taken in a few years. I was in desperate need of a mental and physical break and knew that in order to have a true "time off', I needed to feel completely at peace with Milo being well-taken care of. Well my prayers were answered as Teresa was the "cat whisperer" I was hoping for. I could not have asked for a better, more compassionate, self-reliant, and intuitive sitter ! Teresa was also so diligent in sending me her daily picture and video updates of my cat. With every picture and video I saw, I knew that Milo was so happy being with her and I never worried for one minute while I was away. What a gift ! Teresa was also a serious life-saver for me as literally an hour before I was leaving for my trip, I found out my cat's tracker app was not working and after a few emails and phone calls, we found out the tracker's server was down. Teresa took the initiative to follow up with getting the tracker to work again which was a HUGE stress-relief for me . She is not only wonderfully savvy with animals but also with technology as well ! I feel so fortunate to have Teresa in my life now, not only as an amazing sitter for Milo but also as a wonderful friend for life! Thank you, Teresa for everything.... Milo and I so appreciate you .....
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
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!
Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!
Tracy was an ideal pet sitter when we left for 12 days. She was communicative, friendly, and most importantly took perfect care of our two cats and our house. I would highly recommend her for any sit!
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.
Tonya was great and filled in after our other sitter had to cancel. She was very self sufficient and navigated acclimating herself to everything since she arrived after we left. She gave thoughtful updates on my cat and I could tell she really enjoyed her, so that means the world to me! She left the place immaculate and we will certainly have Tonya back!
Caroline was a fabulous sitter and looked after our cat and the house beautifully. She is sensible and very self-sufficient but also kept us informed. We came home to a happy cat and a tidy house. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others and hope she will sit for us again in the future!
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, $31/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!
Camp Opie Dog Daycare is great for day and overnight boarding as well as being excellent for private training. Cooper got so much out of the time spent with Andy and we are so grateful for it. Being able to take a highly active dog into stressful public situations and having him behave seemed impossible but Andy showed us it’s not. Thank you for training both Cooper and us.
I thought I was lucky to find this place so close to my new home in Rancho Santa Margarita. They are close enough to walk my dog there in the mornings. They take excellent care of my crazy dog, Accalia when I have to leave her for a day or half-day. And I had no problem leaving her for a week vacation, knowing she would be spoiled & taken care. I got an email from them about dog training. My dog is 6, and mostly well-behaved. She’s a lab/labradoodle mix and sometimes she gets very excited. After talking with Andy, he explained that her behavior was likely caused by me not fully taking charge, and allowing her to get away with bad behavior. I signed her up for a 2-week camp. I’ll admit, I was a little nervous about letting my dog stay there for an extended time. But after the first day, my anxiety was relieved. Andy sent me daily videos and explanations of how he was spending time with Accalia and what he was teaching her. Not only could I see that Accalia was happy, she was relaxed and calm. His videos showed me how to reinforce good behaviors so that I could do the same when she came home. She’s been home a few days now, and it’s like I have a new dog. I can sit in the morning and drink my coffee without her getting all crazy any time someone walks by. She understands what her ‘place’ is. And our walks are more like taking my dog to work to make her understand she has a job to do, rather than let her amble about. She doesn’t pull on her leash or react to other dogs at all now. I know consistency is key to reinforcing training, so we work on her learned commands throughout the day. If you need daycare, boarding, or training, I highly recommend Camp Opie
We have brought our dog to Camp Opie for babysitting for the past 5 years, and have used their boarding services as well. While my dog does not love being around other dogs :), I feel comfortable knowing that he is being well cared for (plus love that they have web cams available!). We also recently worked with Andy, their dog trainer, and he was wonderful with our dog. We've worked with two(!) other trainers and both tried to force their training methods on our stubborn dog. Andy took the time to understand what was the root cause of our dog's issues (mostly a ton of anxiety) and helped us be better dog parents. While our dog (and us) are still learning, he is doing way better and seems much happier! Highly recommend.
i started taking scotty to camp opie about a year ago. he was so fearful and mistrustful but they were all so patient and kind in helping to give him confidence and trust. i really appreciate the extra attention and kindness in helping scotty.
We recently adopted our pup from the humane society. On our walks, he seemed anxious and aggressive towards other dogs. He even tried to fight a bigger dog! We knew he needed some socializing and MORE love! So, we took him to Camp Opie! First, we hoped that he would pass their temperament test! Their staff was caring and introduced him to the pack! Our once anxious pup, was immediately in doggy heaven! He was so happy to play in a safe, loving environment! The staff gives one on one attention, plays with the dogs and gives lots of cuddles if the dogs wants it! I KNOW because of their amazing DOGGY CAM! We also got updates from the staff and let us know how well he was doing! We had him stay over the weekend! When we picked him up a few days later, he smelled like blueberries, his fur was so soft & he was so happy to have made so many new friends! My 3 little human-children LOVE coming to Camp Opie! Their front desk/foyer is oozing with LOVE & happiness. We LOVE their Camp Opie wall, displaying many of their faithful clients! AND for a Dog Daycare facility, it smells so nice! I found out they are constantly cleaning and disinfecting to make sure our pups are happy & germ-free! If human kids are happy to be around the foyer, dogs RUN inside with joy, and meet the staff, you'll know you've found a UNIQUE place that is here on this planet to share LOVE. Can't wait to come back! THANK YOU CAMP OPIE!!!!
Been bringing our labradoodle here for over 5 years now and can't say enough great things about the team at Camp Opie. They are the best and wouldn't trust anyone else with our pup!
So impressed!!! Our foster dog is an Australian Shepherd/Great Dane mix puppy and is blind and deaf. She’s a handful and wide open ready to play 24/7. Jen and the folks at Camp Opie have been so warm and welcoming. They were patient and welcoming at the initial temp test, helping ease her in to the group with the other dogs. I love how flexible they are with the drop ins, instead of requiring advance reservations. Makes it super convenient. High praise from us all around, but the best part is our puppy is exhausted and better behaved at the end of the day. She’s thoroughly engaged, mentally and physically all day. Love it! So grateful for Camp Opie!!!
I have to say camp opie cares for our fur babies. I have never got the level of support and understanding for my babies. I appreciate the staff and the owner. The owner has proven to me how much she cares. This is a place I feel safe for my dogs to go to for daycare and boarding. Thank you!!
The staff here is really nice, you can tell they care about the animals. We had our dog here for a 3-day stay, and she was very happy. My wife and I checked in occasionally via the webcams they provide access to, and watch a worker randomly hugging dogs. Thats the kind of place I want my pup at.
We love taking our dog to Camp Opie! - The STAFF are very friendly, seem well trained, & most importantly love our dog! - The FACILITIES are large and they screen dogs for sociability which makes me feel very confident that my dog will be safe - I love the large window so that we can see just how our small dog is doing before we leave.
Top notch trainers + rewarding methods = real results. Training at Wags for over a year my pup has earned his AKC Canine Good Citizen, Advanced Trick title, and has two legs to his first Rally title. It all been great fun. The training for life program has been worth it for us. Daycare? Boarding? Everything is kept amazingly clean too. Freely recommend them. If you want a happy, positive relationship with a well behaved pal give them a try.
I have loved my experience boarding my dog boomer with wags and wiggles for the past two years. We have tried many boarding and daycare options over the years and I am very impressed with the variety of boarding packages that Wags and wiggles offers. we’ve done their board and train program a couple times and the private boarding a couple times as well. I love getting boomers report card with photos (Some of the best photos that I have of Boomer are from wags and wiggles)! My dog is overstimulated by daycare so I love that wags has the option for private boarding with extra walks, treats, play time, and cuddles. This is the only boarding place that I’ve ever taken Boomer to where he comes back the same weight and doesn’t lose weight for anxiety. and his poops are normal afterwards too! I feel like everyone who works there understands and appreciates my quirky dog.
Our six month old border collie puppy, Buddy, had a wonderful first day visit at Wags And Wiggles RSM. The facility is so clean and the workers are also professional and kind and capable. He has a lively personality and we look forward to many more visits. It will help him greatly with his socialization skills. Kudos to all the workers, especially Corey, Sydney, and Noah.🐶❤️🌟
We chose Wags & Wiggles initially because of their excellent reviews. After visiting them today for our Meet & Greet introduction we were very impressed with them. Knowledgeable and friendly staff greeted us and our 3 dogs. The tour of the facilities showed us a very clean kennels and a play room area that is superb. Our confidence in boarding our babies there is very high. When compared to other boarding facilities, Wags & Wiggles is the best we have seen in terms of staffing, cleanliness, kennel areas. They appear to be professional and caring which is a winning combination.
I cannot say enough good things about Wags & Wiggles. Our dog, Savannah, is obsessed with the daycare and it's so reassuring knowing that she is in good hands when she is there. The staff is all beyond friendly and go out of their way to remember each and every dog and their quirks. I love watching their livestreams and seeing her play with all of the other pups. She has been going 2-3 times a week for months now and we all couldn't be happier. We did the 4 week "Puppy Raising Program" and our trainer, Noah, was so incredible with Savannah. She was a different dog after just one session thanks to his guidance and positive reinforcement. By the end of the 4 weeks we decided to continue her sessions with Noah because she loved learning so much and he was able to really help her be confident, happy, and an all around amazing dog. He was also extremely patient with us, because let's be honest - we needed more training than our dog did. Other W&W trainers that we have worked with there have also all been wonderful. We have also boarded her overnight with W&W and have had nothing but positive experiences. I would highly recommend Wags & Wiggles, and training with Noah, to everyone I know!
I am consistently impressed by wags and wiggles. Our pup is always excited to arrive and happy and exhausted when he comes home. The staff is friendly and attentive. They greet us by name when we walk in the door, making us feel like we are dropping our pup off with family. The web cams are also such a great touch ! It is so fun to be able to check in during the day to watch them play. I am so happy that we found wags :)
I took my baby Snowy to Wags and Wiggles in RSM for the first time, and my initial impression was overwhelmingly positive! The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about dogs. The facility is clean, spacious, and provides ample room for the dogs to run around and play. Having had a bad experience at another dog daycare, I was hesitant at first, but Wags and Wiggles has won me over. I loved watching the webcam and seeing the staff showering all the dogs with affection, including Snowy, whose happy face and wagging tail said it all. Although it takes me 30 minutes to get there, I don't mind the distance - we plan to take Snowy at least once a week. After his visit, Snowy was exhausted but happy, with a big smile on his face. I appreciate the detailed report and laminated calendar with Snowy's picture and name. The prices are very reasonable, considering the high quality of care and attention the dogs receive. Overall, I highly recommend Wags and Wiggles RSM to anyone seeking a safe, fun, and reliable dog daycare.
We’ve been part of the Wags and Wiggles family for over three years, and it’s been an incredible journey. Our German Shepherd pup started attending their facility when she was just 12 weeks old, and now, at 3.5 years, she’s still as excited as ever to walk through those doors. Why We Love Wags and Wiggles: 1. Expert Training: Our pup has blossomed under their guidance. The trainers are patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely care about each dog’s progress. 2. Boarding Bliss: Whenever we’ve needed to travel, Wags and Wiggles has been our go-to. Our girl enjoys her stays, and we appreciate the peace of mind knowing she’s in capable hands. 3. Weekly Daycare Delight: The weekly daycare sessions are her highlight. She gets to socialize, play, and burn off energy with her furry friends. The staff ensures a safe and fun environment. 4. Warm and Welcoming Staff: The team at Wags and Wiggles treats our dog like family. Their friendly demeanor and genuine love for animals make all the difference. 5. Spotless Facility: The new facility is impressive! It’s always clean, organized, and well-maintained. We appreciate the attention to hygiene and safety. 6. Tons of Fun: From agility courses to playtime in the spacious yards, our pup has a blast. She comes home tired but happy—a sign of a successful day! In summary, Wags and Wiggles is more than a daycare—it’s a second home for our furry companion. We’re grateful for their dedication and the joy they bring to our pup’s life. Thank you, Wags and Wiggles, for being pawsitively amazing! 🐾❤️
This one-day seminar/class was a great way to build engagement with your pup and get an intro to other classes like Sport Dog, Agility and Nosework. In addition to the fitness games, we also learned to guide the dogs through hoops and complete some nosework searches. Both instructors, Laurie & Corey, were very knowledgeable, helpful & encouraging. Class selection & availability is excellent at RSM and we've already signed up for more.
We put our 10 month old Havanese in five half day sessions to socialize her with other dogs before leaving her for extended training while we are traveling. All of the staff have been outstanding! They spent extra time with her at first until she got used to the other dogs and gave us daily report cards. The staff responded quickly to all of our questions when we were doing planning for her extended stay. The trainer that will be working with her set everything up for us and went over what we wanted to accomplish in the training. I highly recommend Wags and Wiggles for all your pet care needs.
We have been going to Zuri since our Goldendoodle was a puppy. We love their boarding services, grooming and baths! Highly recommend them!
We've used Zuri in RMV for boarding and regular grooming. We've been very satisfied and so has our dog. He doesn’t whine when we drive into the parking lot like he does when we go to the vet, and like he did when we took him to a different groomer before we switched to Zuri. He loves the groomer and the groomer takes time to connect with him too. His baths and hair cuts are always beautiful. His boarding experience was great too. Highly recommend!!
Charlie loves going to Zuri for daycare. The staff is amazing, it’s super clean and first class got my new rescue.
So pleased with our experience at Zuri Pet Spa in Rancho Mission Viejo. My dogs aren’t the easiest and Scott handled them perfectly. They were groomed, look amazing and we are super happy. Quick too! Thank you!
Zuri takes excellent care of my dog! Every time I go on a trip, I feel at peace knowing my furbaby is in good care.
Thank you Charlotte for always doing such a wonderful grooming on April & Violet. They always look forward to their visit at Zuri & with charlotte in RMV location :)
Our dogs had a wonderful vacation at Zuri, they enjoyed the half-day playtime as well as the ice cream service. Their baths came out really exceptional and our family is very happy with the service. Thank you!
We love Zuri! The staff are so caring and really know the details of your pets conditions. They take great pains to verify everything so that all who come in contact with your pet are on board. The facility is wonderful and my favorite clean!
We love Zuri Per Spa! My Remington would shake for 2-3 days after being groomed no matter where we would take him. He was a puppy mill pup from TJ and had a rough start so it has been a challenge trying to find the right place that would treat him like their own and groom him how we want. Then we found Zuri Pet Spa. Our first visit the groomer spend a good 15 min. asking questions to find out what his needs were. We discussed his cut in length, and picked out how short from fur swatches. When I picked him up, he was his happy normal self and looked the best he ever had. He even had some pup ice cream. I just took advantage of the low cost non anesthesia teeth cleaning that they offer once a month and today when dropping him off to be groomed, he was excited to be there. The cost is better than any groomer I have taken him to. I 100% recommend Zuri Pet Spa to anyone looking for a groomer!
We love using Zuri. Our doodle is not typical. She has Bernese in her so longer fur and feathering. The groomers are so knowledgeable of her breed. The staff are always friendly and we’ve always had positive experiences. Highly recommended them!
