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.

Toby and Chloe were amazing pet sitters. It wasn’t the easiest sit - a nervous dog and 3 cats with various ailments and medication to have, but they took it all in their stride and cared for them so well without any issues. Our nervous dog Zelda warmed to them in just 2 days which is a record for house sitters so far! I also really enjoyed getting to know them over dinner the night before I left, they’re very easygoing and positive people. They also left the house spotless for when I came back. I would love to have them sit for us again. You can rest assured your house and animals are in safe hands with this lovely pair!
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!
We were so pleased to meet John and Trisha! We had them come in a day before we left and enjoyed a nice meal with them and they got to meet Delilah (even if she didn’t seem interested) but she soon warmed up to them - except for the Cat Videos - she wasn’t very interested 🤣 When we returned our home was so clean (probably cleaner than we left it)! We got frequent pics and updates on our Princess! They also left us with a Progress Report with Delilah’s activities and what they did at the house before they left. We would highly recommend John & Trisha if you are lucky enough to have them apply for a House Sitters job! Bill, Kathy & Delilah 🐈⬛❤️
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!
strongly recommend Christine and Phil to housesit for your kitty. Our pets, Babbles and Cousin Eddy, and property, were in very good hands while we where away for two weeks. They had a fair amount entailed with two cats on different food and needs. Cousin Eddy, or Edoardo, is a barn cat we recently adopted. Eddy is very sweet and stays outside but hangs out the side door wanting to be petted and fed; Bubbles is an indoor cat. Both cats were spoiled by Christine and Phil! Christine and Phil were also very caring and attentive with the needs of our Airbnb guests. During the time we were away they kept us updated daily (including photos of the cats). When we came home, our house was perfect, with lovely fresh flowers, notes for us, and our cats had been well-cared-for. They are wonderful house sitters, and we highly recommend them. They were Five-star sitters of our house and cats!
Laura came across the country to sit for us. She arrived a day early and from the moment my pets met her our Lokie was smitten. We have one shy cat Luna and she was out and about on the first night. Laura kept us updated and shared her Adventures as well. We do live in a small hideaway of a town so seeing that she was able to enjoy herself was nice. We returned to a clean home, laundry done also, and very content pets. Lokie was sad for a few days as he missed his friend. We would recommend Laura as a sitter to anyone and would have her back again. 5 plus stars. ⭐
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 :)
If you are looking for someone to take care of your fur babies and your house while you're away, Daniel is your guy! I had discovered zeewoi just a couple of weeks before I was to leave on vacation and I was not only apprehensive if the website was too good to be true, but also under a real time crunch. I reached out to over 100 local sitters and several possibilities fell through. I was confident I would find the right sitter and when Daniel applied for the sit and I started to text and converse with him, I knew I had found the perfect sitter for my two cats! Daniel was upbeat and positive, articulate and personable, warm and caring, and he asked all the right questions about Lilly and Eli (I hadn't had the time to complete my Welcome Guide, yet!?!). I shared that I had an easy cat and problem cat -- Lilly, who is sweet, social and eats dry food, and Eli who is skittish, was periodically pooping outside the kitty litter box and was eating prescription canned food twice a day mixed with a probiotic and stool firmer. I asked if he thought he was up for the job and he happily said he was. Since he flew all the was from Chicago, I thought the least my husband and I could do was pick him up at the airport. When he arrived, he pulled out his notebook. He patiently walked with me as I reviewed kitty care, showed him around the house, and where he would be sleeping. He immediately picked up Lilly who was excited about meeting her new friend and Eli bugged out and down the stairs to the basement (his favorite hiding place!). We got Daniel connected to the internet, set him up at our dining room table and headed off to airport, leaving our house and kitties in the best of hands. Daniel wanted to make sure I felt comfortable and assured while we were away. He made sure to text with me every other day (he had asked my preference earlier), sent photos of Lilly being her cute self while Eli hid during the day although he gave me assurances that he was eating his food and using the litter box (there were a few accidents, but Daniel never complained about these additional duties). When we returned from our vacation, the house was also spotless and well cared for and Daniel had even washed the sheets for me! It is with utter happiness and complete confidence that I recommend Daniel as a fantastic Sitter. He is trustworthy, responsible, caring, and competent, and you can rest assured that both your house and sweet pets will be watched over and treated with TLC -- and will truly be in the best of hands while you are away!
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!
My husband and I reached out to Toby & Chloe after reading their profile and impressive reviews only a week before our trip, since our scheduled sitter had to cancel at the last moment. They were very friendly and quick to respond to chat from the very beginning, and ended up exceeding our expectations during their two week stay. It was evident they had thoroughly read our Welcome Guide beforehand, as they arrived knowledgeable and prepared to care for our home and pets. They were very willing and happy to take the necessary time with us to walk through the house and meet our cats, as we got them acclimated with our daily routines and answered any questions. Shortly after we left, our city had a heat wave come through, and after immediately notifying us, Toby went beyond the call of duty and inspected our struggling AC unit to pinpoint the issue. As far as cat care is concerned, we have two seniors (who have more sensitive tummies) that can get irritated after a fur ball or swallowing anything out of the ordinary. When this occurred, Toby & Chloe stepped in and took wonderful care of our cat duo; softening their food and even cradling while hand-feeding them for extra comfort. We truly could not have asked for more affectionate and responsible sitters. We returned to a spotlessly clean home, happy cats, and well maintained plants and pool. (They even cleaned our dusty Kitchen pendant lighting, which requires a steady hand and is definitely a time-commitment …We felt like professional housecleaners had been there!) On our way back, Toby & Chloe stayed in communication with us to monitor our arrival time, allowing them to care for our cats until just before we got home. Overall, they are very reliable and trustworthy sitters whose genuine goal is to provide a top-quality sit, while maintaining your household and seamlessly transitioning to your pets daily schedule.
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 $ per visit, $21/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!
My job has me travel alot. I recently moved from AZ to NV and I didn't have a pet-sitter for my tortoises. I needed to go to Ca for training and Terrell was very respectful when I first messaged him asking if he would watch after my pets for the day until I got out of work since I couldn't check into my hotel until later in the day, and ai didn't want to leave them in the car while I was at work. They pet-sit for dogs, do require proof of vaccines, and would appreciate at least a couple of days notice so they can rearrange their room for the other pets being boarded. The business is run from their home, and they allow the other dogs being boarded to roam with each other, so they aren't caged up in a kennel all day. The day I stopped by they were watching over a newborn puppy along with about 5 other adult dogs. In the past they have watched after birds, but he mainly specializes in dog care. However he will watch over mostly all pets with enough notice. Keep in mind this is a personal, and private pet care service not your typical big franchise or well known business therefore, it is not going to involve any paperwork, and you do pay by cash. In order to know the cost all you do is contact him via his website by researching the name of the business and the option to message him comes up. When I asked for a quote he was pretty responsive, I messaged him around 6:00pm as I was leaving that next day, he got back to me around 8:00pm. If I remember correctly you could also pick up your pet at 11pm as that is the time they close their doors for the business, but you may notice that they do get antsy if you tell them a time, and aren't there minutes before, so you may hear from them via text when time gets closer to the expected pickup time. Otherwise, they seem to care after the pets kindly and are open to following instructions on feedings, pet care, or medications if needed. Best of all they surprised me with a couple of images of my pets while I was at work, as you can see my male tortoise dirtied up his water soon after they gave it to him.
We are really thankful for TJ service. After a last minute call he accepted both our dogs and was patient enough for both. He updates us everyday, highly recommended.
I took my two dogs to Tj's All Per Care for three weeks stay. Terrel went way beyond what he was asked for. He took a good care of my dogs, he kept me informed with daily messages of the dog's activities, he fed the dogs as he was asked. I'm very happy with Terrel's service and honesty. I would definitely trust my dogs to Terrel again
Great place! this was my dogs first time with a boarder and he definitely benefited from it. I was out of town on a work trip for 3 weeks and I didn’t want my dog to be in a kennel majority of the day so this was a perfect fit for us along with becoming more social with dogs. He went to the park everyday and TJ also sent me at least 2 pictures everyday and answered any question I asked on my pup. After I picked up my pup he has been sleeping wherever he can, definitely not the last time we’ll be using his services.
TJ runs his service like a business. We were especially impressed with his professionalism, foresight, and experience. While watching our dogs we encountered an unforeseen travel situation that he was able to accommodate with no issues. The entire time we felt completely comfortable and safe with him watching over our dogs. He provided daily photos and updates on how they were doing. We would definitely go back to TJ and recommend him to anyone looking for a competent, communicative, and professional sitter.
Terrell did an amazing job with my 7 month Doberman. We were in a last minute bind and Terrell was able to take him the day of AND keep my dog for 4 days. Terrell really does know how to handle all of the different personalities which is very important when you have a large dog with a lot of energy and separation anxiety. I noticed that when I picked my dog up that he was calm and leaning against Terrell as we were talking. We were very Appreciative of Terrell's flexibility and Happy with the state of our dog upon our return. We will be returning with no doubt!!!
TJ went above and beyond to accommodate us as we were moving from Japan to Fairfield. He has the most flexible hours for drop off and pick up and is reachable by phone at almost all hours. My dog has never been happier when boarded...probably because she is not locked in a concrete run/cage, instead, she is hanging out in a comfortable home! My dog was due her monthly preventative medication and TJ ensured she received. He takes all his boarding dogs to the local dog park and keeps them actively engaged with other dogs, toys, treats, and human interaction. TJ sent us daily photos/updates and it's clear he loves our dog almost as much as we do. I will be using his service again and again. In fact I'm hoping he will do some doggy daycare too!
TJ is Awesome! Knows how to handle and treat dogs, I have a old German Shepard and a old Jackussel mix. Both dogs came back happy and healthy. TJ takes them to the park, plays with them and let's the do what they want. He is very professional, polite, super responsive to calls and texts and sends pictures to you 2 time a day of your pet. I will recommend TJ to everyone!
It's a great place! It was my dogs first time with a boarder and he difinitely loves it. Tj takes him to the park everyday along with other dogs so this was perfect so he can be more social with other dogs. Tj also sent me 2 pictures everyday. If anyone looking for a sitter, I highly recommend " TJ's All Pet Care Service" Thanks Tj!!!
TJ did a wonderful job taking care of my older labrador! I was in need of last-minute pet care for a day trip for work, and was SO grateful that TJ was able to keep my sweet old dog entertained while I was away. (He even sent me a nice picture of all the fun they had at the dog park!) My dog is pretty energetic and extraverted for an old dog, and he came home super happy and exhausted -- I think dogs that like to run and play with other dogs will have a wonderful time with TJ.
The dogs are always well cared for and the dogs play a lot all day long with each other. My dog loves going there because he gets to play with all the other dogs. When I leave my dog there and go out of town, I feel totally confident that he will be taking care of and fed and loved on!
We LOVE Pampered Pets! They take such good care of our little Mochi! She has a blast there. They always post pictures to update us while we are away. All of the care staff are very loving with the pups!
We have been taking our little “Apple” to Pampered Pets for her vacation while we are on ours since she was very young.She loves it. The minute she gets there she runs away her little tail going fifty miles an hour and never looking back. She loves playing with the other doggies and sitting on the owners lap. The facility is spotless. We recommend Pampered Pets without reservation.
I board my dog Paco here and he loves it here. Fabulous staff and always a pleasure to chit chat with the owner, Kathy Castillo.
Wow..perfect place to take your dogs !!! They take such good care of them we will definitely be bringing them back
We took our 2 small dogs there for 10 days and they did very well-the place is clean and the owner is very sweet.
Always feel good leaving my Alonzo with Aunt Kathy and crew.
We loved Ruff ! My Spinone, Zeppe went several times a week for daycare and he would start making happy noises miles away knowing that he was going to hang with friends. He went thru those doors and never looked back at me. (sigh) He came home tired and happy every day. Everyone so nice, all so clean, a great facility. HIGHLY recommend.
My dog loves coming to Ruff for daycare! The staff treat him like a real fur baby!
Dolce has a great time at her meet and greet and first overnight. She’ll be calling Ruff her home away from home when she can’t travel with me.
The best place to take your dog in the Napa/Sonoma area! Top notch staff who know what they are doing. Excellent facility!
My dog loves the special people at Ruff! And so do I.
Well run. Our boy seemed to like it.
Melodie, the owner of Tails Up!, is professional and caring. The dog sitters who have watched our puppy have taken him into their homes, made him a part of their family routines, and given him lots of TLC. This business fills a special need by treating dogs with love & empathy.
We strongly recommend Tails Up! Napa Valley for your four legged loved ones! Melodie made our experience comfortably seamless when we were out of town for several days. Our greatest concern when leaving our dogs was not only the basics of being fed and let out, but she took it a couple steps further by giving them companionship by staying overnight, taking them for walks frequently, and giving them baths. We will call upon her and only her every time we leave town. Thank you!!
Highly recommend Tails Up! Napa Valley! Melodie and her staff were amazing. I received daily updates on how my dog was doing along with photos to boot! My mind was definitely at ease knowing he was being so well taken care of. I will definitely use Tails Up! in the future.
Thank goodness for Tails up Napa Valley! They give so much love to my dog on my workdays! I can tell by all the pictures that he is in love! Don’t know what I would do without them!
We couldn't be more pleased with Tails Up! Napa Valley. Melodie and Penny took such great care of our lab and cat as if they were their own pets. This was evident upon our return home. We completely trust Tails Up! Napa Valley with our pets and home and are planning to use them again next month when we leave for vacation. Thanks fore everything Melodie and Penny!
Thank goodness Tails Up Napa Valley is open again!! Melodie and her team are professional and reliable and our dog, Rusty loves them as much as we do. We just planned our first travel in over a year and are so happy Rusty will be happy and well taken care of while we’re away!
I have worked with the TailUp team to walk my pup since they initially opened. They are extremely professional, well managed, and reliable. Melodie, the owner takes extreme care to screen her staff and to ensure that they, not only follow safety rules, but also make sure that I as the pet parent am comfortable with her team. TailsUp closed briefly due to state independent contractor regulations, but they are now back in business! I couldn’t be happier with their service and professionalism.
We have used Tails Up for walks & dog sitting on two visits to Napa, and they have been great! Very responsive and flexible for early/late requests. We got updates and great pics from each of the walkers. Will definitely reach out the next time we are in town with our pup!
I can hardly wait to bring my Norfolk Terrior Baldwin to stay for awhile after reading your reviews. Our pets become our chosen family so easily. Thanks everyone for sharing your thoughts.
I want to take a few moments to express my complete satisfaction with Tails Up pet sitting. Melodie & Penny did a wonderful professional job with my 2 cats. I received complete & thorough reports on every visit. Photos of my cat boys mail & newspaper collection were included. If I could I'd give them a 10 star rating. My cats are like family to me so I compliment only the most professional caregivers with real love & caring for animals .
Stacy is ABSOLUTELY the most caring, thoughtful and thorough pet sitter that we have had! We have had overnights with many steps that our pups need (dog mom imposed I guess!) and Stacy never said anything was too much. Rather, Stacy understands that dogs are our kids - and they deserve the best care and love. She has a ton of affection and patience even for our “problem child” and loves all animals no matter their personalities. In a world where it’s so difficult to find pet sitters that really go the extra mile and not have to worry about anything - Stacy is a god send! I would highly highly recommend Stacy for any pets large or small, shy or extroverted. Thank you Stacy for adding a ray of sunshine, warmth and unconditional love into our fur babies lives!
Stacy is the best! Professional, hardworking, reliable, and, just as importantly, so sweet and friendly. She truly loves your dog as her own! My boy Shadow is obsessed with her. They hit it off immediately, and it was such a relief to know he was in good care during an extended vacation of ours. I think he was so comfortable and having such a blast with Stacy, he was almost disappointed we came home 😆
Stacy is the best, and our senior dogs (17 and 15 year olds) absolutely love her! I don’t think I trust anyone with our fur babies as much as I trust her! She’s also very flexible and charges more reasonably compared to other services out there.
Can’t say enough about how great Stacy is with my two senior fur babies! She visits with them while I work, and also takes excellent care of them when I go out of town. Stacy sends plenty of updates and pictures, which is very important to me, since my pups both have health issues. She clearly loves pets and I feel like I couldn’t leave mine in better hands. I wholeheartedly recommend Stacy!
I could take about how amazing Stacy K is ALL day. My husband and I have 3 dogs, and have always struggled to find good a good sitter for them in the past. When we met Stacy almost 2 years ago, our dogs have never received better care, and we have never felt so stress free while leaving town because we know that our babies are in the best hands. Stacy makes sure they get their walks, rain or shine, and gives them so much of her time and love. She is punctual, reliable, understands animals and their behavior, a very good communicator, and has the biggest heart. We trust Stacy explicitly with our dogs, which is not something that we have ever been able to say about any pet sitter before her. She has made our live much better and our trips away more enjoyable ♥️
Stacy is the dogs sitter that we have always dreamed of having! She took such amazing care of our 3 medium/large dogs while my husband and I were out of town for 5 nights. She was very easy to communicate with, kept our pups exercised, and sent me lots of pictures and videos of the dogs which I always appreciate! We would highly recommend Stacy to anyone who is looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!
I use Stacy when I am away on vacation. She takes such good care of my dog and gives her so much love and attention while I am gone. She sends me updates and pictures of her and keeps me updated on how she is doing. Stacy loves animals and your pets like her own. I highly recommend her to take care of your babies - they will be in good hands and you can enjoy your vacation without worrying how your babies are doing.
Stacy is AMAZING! Our cats love her and she does a great job taking care of your home and pets while you’re away. Next time you plan a trip, call Stacy and don’t stress about your home and pets!
Stacy was the absolute best! We feel so assured and at ease with not only the care of our beloved furbaby, but also the safety of our home in Stacy’s care while we’re away. Safety is of optimal importance for us with home care. Stacy goes above and beyond and we are incredibly grateful to her. Prior to finding Stacy, Georgia was often exasperated after coming home from boarding. We figured it was because she didn’t sleep or eat much due to the change of environment. Now that we have Stacy, we don’t have to worry about how she’s faring without us. Our pup gets to stay at home, and she loves Stacy like another family member — and the cost is equivalent to boarding, with individualized attention to our pup’s high maintenance needs. WIN/WIN Thanks Stacy! ~The Ferrara Family
I have been contacting Stacy K for the last 3 years to take care of my Kitties while we go on vacation. She is super sweet she even sends pictures of our fur babies while she sits and visits with them for a while. If you need a pet sitter Stacy is your girl. Great price and super reliable!
I consider myself fortunate to have found Wendy and her business. She and her team have provided me with top notch service for close to 10 years now. I tend to get an email/photo update on my critters mid way through each vacation which is delightful. I have never had a difficulty scheduling care. (But I also tend to schedule a month or two out which makes it easier for everyone.) I have recommended her to several people but do know that her business is pretty full (because of the great care they provide.) First rate pet sitting business!!
House Calls Pet sitting goes above and beyond! Wendy loves my little Charlie like he is her own! She makes sure he isn’t getting into mischief and plays and loves on him and sends the best pictures! What she gets the mail too?? Waters my plants too? The care and thoughtfulness that is behind the ownerships of this company is beyond comparison in my eyes! I’d give you 10 stars if I could and so does Charlie! Keep up the amazing work! I love being worry free when my baby is in your care! Thanks for all you do!
Truly one of the best pet sitting service providers in Vacaville! Trusted, reliable and certified, Wendy and her team check all of the boxes for anyone seeking professional pet sitting services. Having served our furry family for years, I can’t say enough about the level of experience, expertise and care we received by Wendy and her team. Rest assured, your pets are in good hands!
House Calls is an excellent pet sitting service. I have been using them for years. My dogs, cat and lizard are very well taken care of and I never have to worry when I am away. I also love getting pictures and updates on how they are doing. I would highly recommend House Calls!
Wendy is absolutely amazing!!! She cares for my pets like they were her own. I can't tell you how many times she has gone above and beyond for my pets when I was out of town. She always spends time with them (throwing the ball for the dogs or petting the cats).
They are apparently SO SO busy, a potential Customer will need more then 2 months notice, and they do NOT return phone calls or emails. I'm just wondering what existing customers do in an emergency? I have have been turned down by them 3 times in the last 6 months. Why even advertise your services??
Wonderful and caring!! Highly recommend :)
My dog, Penny, met Nicari the day after we adopted her. It has been 5 years now and Nicari is as much family to Penny as my husband and myself. Nicari and the team at Pampered Pooches have individualized her care to fit her personality. She has nice long walks on my work days. Everyone of the team at California Pampered Pooches are warm and kind and I am proud to recommend them!
My dog has been with CPP for about 8 years now (for daycare and boarding). She considers them family too. The last time I had to board her, when I went to pick her up, she didn't want to leave - LOL! If you are looking for a safe and loving environment for you precious doggie, please consider CA Pampered Pooches. You won't regret it!
My dog is so happy He has friend to spend time with. Thank you for the love and attention you give him. He has picked up some good habits and thank you for your time and advice it has made things so much easier🥰🥰
My dog was way overdue for his grooming! They were amazing with my senior dog! He is soooo happy... and clean! Yay!
Amazing, caring owners and staff. I am so thankful I found them when I did. It is clear my pup loves going there. It's like being with family
Can't get enough of the the personalized TLC that Jax gets at CAPP. Not only are they teaching him how to play nicely as a big pup, I have the peace of mind knowing that he's truly being pampered!
Everything about them is amazing I love the fact that they took great care of my baby and made him look like a million bucks thank you so much greatest groomer ever I couldn’t be happier thank you thank you thank you
Best groomer in town my baby looks and smells like a million bucks. The shedding even stopped thank you
Love this place! My Giant Schnauzer is plum wore out when she's done.
Your dogs life cannot be trusted here
As a first-time dog owner, I struggled a lot with training my puppy, Maple, on my own in the beginning. Maple would get easily distracted and wanted to say hi to everyone she came across, which made everyday outings and bringing her to the office a challenge. I am so grateful I found Stellar Canine Academy’s boarding program. Kristen is an amazing trainer- she’s incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and supportive. During Maple’s time in boarding school, Kristen worked wonders, teaching her foundational skills and helping her learn to focus in distracting environments. Kristen not only transformed Maple’s behavior but also gave me the confidence to bring her into the office, knowing she’s well-trained and can stay calm even when she’s excited. The updates and tips Kristen provided throughout the program have helped me maintain Maple’s progress and build a stronger bond with her. I can’t recommend Stellar Canine Academy enough-Kristen and her team truly go above and beyond to help both dogs and their owners succeed. Thank you, Kristen, for giving Maple and me such a positive and life-changing experience! :)
We highly recommend Stellar Canine Academy, with all of their training, expertise and services offered! We are ever so grateful to have found them to board our sweet cattle dog, 'Oli! We found our sweet pup injured while camping, and she can be highly reactive, protective and sensitive. We visited other places, which did not work out. Kristen knows and understands exactly what 'Oli requires to approach and be with her. It's quite impressive! She comes back relaxed, calm, happy, and with more skills! Her nails were also trimmed, wow! That's magic, if you know what I mean? We cannot thank you enough for everything you do for our 'Oli!
I can’t recommend Kristen highly enough! She worked wonders with my 5-month-old Dogo Argentino puppy, Pure King Shadow. The progress Shadow has made in socialization and obedience under her guidance is incredible. Before training, I was unsure how he’d behave in busy environments, but now I can confidently take him anywhere—even to a bustling Starbucks on a Saturday with strollers, babies, and crowds—and he remains calm and well-behaved. Kristen’s expertise, patience, and structured approach to training have transformed Shadow into a well-mannered puppy. If you’re looking for a dedicated, skilled dog trainer who will work closely with you to achieve great results, Kristen is the one!
Our pup learned so much! 3 weeks away at SCA camp and this pup is walking on and off leash like a superstar. No more pulling 👏 She is now greeting on all fours 🐾🐾 and staying in Place when asked until released. Plus, you should see the adoring look she gives Kristen. I feel so confident that my pup had a great time and was very well taken care of the whole time. ‘Cept she ate her macaroni necklace, but oh well 😉
If there were 10 stars for ratings, we would give Stellar Canine Academy a "15"! We had our 10-month boxer girl at their 3-month training camp - and it was the greatest experience! Kristen was very considerate, informative, attentive to us and our dog. The training results are stunning - our Lulu learned a much better behavior and obeys our commands pretty well. When Kristen brought Lulu back home from the camp, we could see that our dog was in careful and loving hands, was treated and trained well. We definitely are customers of Stellar Canine Academy for life - and highly recommend them!
Corrine has changed our lives! Our sweet dog Bingo is becoming the best version of herself! Her recall is amazing, she can heel on command, she is not reactive to people or dogs anymore, and we can take her everywhere we go! We get compliments constantly when we are out training! I feel so confident to take her anywhere. I loved that Corrine taught me how to interact with Bingo and listen to what she was telling me. I am understanding her body language better, and can help her through any hard situations! Because she is so well behaved now, she has more freedom around our space, and gets to go on so many more adventures! We are so forever grateful for everything Corrine has done for us!
As first time dog owners, we were confused and stressed with our inability to handle a young active pup. Kristen has been amazing with our dog while at the same time, patiently helping us correct *our* training style. Our now 8mo old pup is a well behaved dog yet happy as ever. If you're in the Seattle area and looking for a dog trainer, I highly highly recommend the amazing Stellar team.
Kristen did an incredible job with our puppy Coco! All the other reviews are exactly on point! Our Coco is the sweetest, smartest puppy but wanted to say hi to everyone and every dog on his walks. He would jump on guests visiting our house and generally couldn't contain his excitement. We went to Green Lake before he went to camp with Kristen and Stellar and we had such a hard time containing his excitement that we thought we would never be able to go back there again. Kristen worked her magic on Coco and in just three weeks his transformation into a calm puppy is barely believable to us! He is still our sweet boy but his recall, leash walks and general containing of his excitement is spectacular thanks to Kristen! Case in point:: Coco now walks *without* leash on Green Lake! We were apprehensive to send Coco away for an extended period of time for camp but Kristen put us to ease right on the first visit where she spent time with us to clearly understand Coco and explained us the training process. Kristen kept us updated throughput the camp sending his updates and videos. She promptly updated all our questions/ queries. Kristen also spent two hours while dropping off Coco clearly explaining Coco's training, and went with us on a walk around the neighborhood explaining how to get Coco to heel with discipline. Coco now breezes past dogs right next to him, ignores all squirrels and bunnies which has made for a safer and more enjoyable for all of us. Kristen also came for a follow up session after a week and answer all questions. We are forever grateful to all of Kristen's help!
Stellar Canine Academy was beyond amazing. Trained our 1 year old lab with so much love and compassion. The ladies who run this business are so kind and informative as well as send frequent updates. I couldn’t be more impressed with the quality and support Stellar Canine Academy has provided. Our lab has shown so much improvement with obedience which makes us confident when taking him out. I highly recommend Stellar Canine Academy as you will not be disappointment.
Exceptional results! Mojo came to us as a 2-month old Beagle puppy in need of a home. He also came with all of the things that are typical of a Beagle puppy -- smart, stubborn, high-energy, full of mischief, and much in need of training. After ten days of puppy camp with Corrine he was a different puppy, still full of energy but able to listen, and to respond to basic commands of sit, down, and place. After 3 weeks of adult training, and now at 7 months old, he is a joy to have as part of the pack (along with 3 older dogs). So many things that he learned, but the most important are that he comes when called and I trust him to be off leash at the dog parks. The thing that I really appreciate about Corrine's training style is that she got him to this point without changing the spirit of this little dog. He is still a happy, active, and high-energy puppy but now a well-behaved puppy too. In the coming years he is going to be a wonderful companion. Thanks, Corrine! Stellar Canine Academy highly recommended!
She did my two dogs shampoo, haircut, nail trimming exactly how I asked her to. My dogs and I were all happy campers. I'd highly recommend her.
April is great! We appreciate that she doesn't have multiple dogs in the shop at one time and focuses on just the current client. It helps reduce our dog's anxiety about grooming.
April is absolutely amazing!! We love her and our babies love her. She is efficient, takes great care of our pups. Been going to her for over 8 years. Love her!!
We had Megan for my dogs grooming. She's very engaged with her customers, reached out to me right away to find out more about them. We are new to the area so it was our first time going to her. We will definitely be back! Her dog training experience helps so much, it made it much easier for my dogs to feel at ease.
I was put off bringing my dog here. She is incredibly fast and that was nice, but as a result missed a few minor things. She also calls around to other groomers and vets and talks about you to get a feel for what sort of client you’ll be. Call it gossip or research, it is what it is. Also, with so many legal disclaimers to sign you’d think she doesn’t have reasonable business insurance. I liked her high standards - only admits selected clients, but I felt it was too many hoops to jump through for what is basically a dog bath. You’ll either love her or hate her. I wasn’t a fan.
I’ve been going to April’s forever now and they’re always amazing. It’s crazy how they have so much control they have without forcing my poodle unlike other places. From what I hear every time I go to pick my poodle is she was a really good dog. I can definitely tell they’re telling the truth because I get her back incredibly fast without cuts and super happy. Once at we’ll call it petlo groomers I had to take my dog to the emergencies because they had cut her too deep. They paid for everything even though they didn’t want to but not only that they didn’t notify me about all this for all the 5 hours they had her there. My poodle was in pain an depressed for weeks and was scared of groomers. Because of April’s now she gets out the car without shaking out of fear(before when she saw where she was at she’d dig herself into my arms) and goes back into the car all jumpy and happy.
My wife and I were looking for a place shampoo a little stink from a skunk and haircut on our little pomchi (Harley) he's about 5 years old I will skittish around other found this place due to excellent reviews we figured I'd give it a try. Sera did a great job on Harley he looks so handsome and smell fresh would definitely recommend and we'll be coming back.
5 star, excellent service! Very affordable compared to anyone else in the area. I have a GSD/Husky mix and a Border Collie. They have always been well taken care of.
Thank you for grooming my daughters Yorkie Poo King. I know he was a handful as he is a spoiled 4 month old puppy. I will definitely bring him back to be groomed. You rock.
We took our husky here to have the works done to him. When he came home, he looked so beautiful. Thank you for doing such an awesome job. We will be back.
Great, affordable kennel with knowledgeable and caring owner. Steve knows a lot about dogs and knows how to take care of their individual needs. He’s experienced with dogs who don’t board well and is attentive to their care. Couldn’t be happier with the price as well since boarding kennels are normally incredibly expensive.
The kennels are very nice and the dogs are adorable. The training is amazing. My puppy went and came back as a sweet, calm and cute pup.
Prior to dropping off my two fur babies, I was able to reserve a kennel and coordinate a date/time to drop them off 2 weeks in advance. They offer military discount which saved me a few extra dollars! Although the location is a few minutes out of my way, it was worth the drive. My babies were well fed and taken care of.
I boarded my dogs without checking the place beforehand. When I came to drop them off I was too anxious to leave my 3 dogs cause the place was far from what I expected according to their website. I trusted to sign up cause the ranch looks nice with the water and he is a dog trainer too. Kinda made me feel confident my dogs will be in good hands. Never saw Steve in person though I spoke with him on phone and he seemed nice. The caretaker I met at the boarding is also a nice man. Assured me my dogs will be taken care of. I was skeptic coz the kennel was wet and all the dogs there seemed to be uneasy barking too much. It was clean but wet. He said dogs won’t be walked. Would just stay on their cages. I felt bad for my dogs all 4 days I was on vacation. When I got them, they were thinner, obviously stressed. The youngest of them was too scared he was hiding under that platform were they sleep. I was relieved nothing is as bad as I am anxious of. I mean, they will keep your dogs, feed them & clean their kennels but your pets would feel like they’re in prison. I won’t go back even if they just mean business. I would look for more care & love for my babies.
Our dogs love Steve!! Steve always makes sure we are taken care of!! Even with last minute plans, or delayed returns, he has no issue with keeping our fir kids. We now even travel over an hour just to keep the dogs boarded with him!!
Very reasonable owner. He offered to out my.two dogs in one cage, I save money (30 insufficient 20). 20 per day is a great deal. Owner gives food for no charge. Good place with great ventilation. It is a experienced dog trainer as well.
Steve is a great 'old school' dog trainer that doesn't only train your dog but he actually takes the time to train you! (Me) my Chessie Blu is getting better and better as we go thru training together. Thanks Steve!
I used to bring my dogs there- I brought them there only cause of the price- they always came back skinny- and happy to see me. I found a new place that charges a bit more but he love it- he cannot wait to go in the back to see all of his friends. Steve is nice - but I feel it is nothing but a sales pitch- I don't feel my dogs were happy- if you want to save money that it the place but if you want your dogs happy I would aviod him. Ask you dog if they are happy animals can talk btw- they will tell you if they are happy or not. I only pay 4 dollars a day more for my dogs to be happy.
One excellent place to get your dogs trained. Proprietor is a great guy, very knowledgeable and personable
They were able to provide boarding on short notice which was great. The owner was very friendly and provided great care for my dog.
Oh.my. goodness.. These ladies are a true gift. 😭 A review cannot express how exceptional their care for our family fur babies was. They respond almost immediately, put in the effort to get to know your pets and your family routine. They just CARE. My male dog is sometimes misunderstood and has trouble forming relationships with others outside of immediate family. Our little family isn't even home from vacation yet. Still I know he has a best friend outside of us! We can't thank them enough. If you need a sitter, walker, cuddler, etc. LOOK NO FURTHER. Thank you so much "Those Dog Gone Girls" 🤗
Joy gave attentive, kind, and reliable care for our baby while we were gone. Scheduling and communication was quick and easy!
I brought my pandemic puppy here for her first time away from me or family. She was there for 10 days and did great. I brought her a few times for day care before so she could get acclimated and I think that helped. The entire dog gone sister’s team was really nice and communicated with me and helped ease my stress of leaving Toffee was so long. I received photos every night and toffee even made it to their ig page. I have already recommended to friends and definitely will bring toffee back for my next vacation but even plan to bring her for daycare every now and then.
Wonderful, professional, courteous and caring. Joy is a joy and came to my rescue on short notice when I sprained my ankle and had no one to help walk my dog. Gladly recommend their services.
My girl dog is scared of people not in her circle and has bad anxiety. It only took Joy 2 visits for them to be BFFs which is shocking to me! This means my girl trusts her, which means I trust her! My old dog takes meds and is blind. Joy really takes care of him. I have no complaints and Joy is the best! PLEASE TRY HER BUSINESS.
Me and my wife both work away from home a few days a week and we needed a daycare for our dog, Apollo. We learned about the sisters through a friend that uses their services and we couldn't be happier! They had us bring him in for a meet and greet, then allowed us to leave him there for a couple hours to see how he got along with the other dogs. They now pick him up early in the morning without us being home and provide email updates with photos once he's in the car for peace of mind. I pick him up on my way home and he's exhausted from playing all day. The arrangement couldn't be better. The sisters and staff are all animal lovers and super friendly. I'll recommend them to anyone that asks!
TDGS are so sweet and really treat your fur baby as their own. They are very patient, my dog is a nervous nancy, but they knew how to handle him and make him feel secure. I don't even need to leash Doc when I pull up, he runs straight the gate and he is always dog tired when he gets home. I can tell after taking him to daycare he is more confident with other dogs and knows how to communicate better. I'm very picky about my pup, I highly recommend them.
Excellent Doggie DayCare My pooch loves it She gets excited when she sees where she is at. The Sisters and their helpers take such great care of her. When she come home, she is tired and ready to relax so I know she has been a busy girl
Those Dog Gone Sisters are an excellent family run business and have done cat sitting for me twice now. I am really happy with the exceptional services they provide. They not only visit and refresh the food and water but also clean the litter boxes and collect the mail. They send daily email updates with pictures of your pets which is such a nice added touch to put your mind at ease knowing your pets are happy and safe. What also impressed me was that they do a meet and greet with you and your pets before taking care of your pets for the first time so that you/they know if it’s good fit. I won’t have anyone else other than Those Dog Gone Sisters take care of my pets when I am out of town.
I am truly Grateful for these two amazing women! When I first met them they where so welcoming and kind my dog immediately felt comfortable and safe when we arrived. I love that they keep you updated and send pictures when your dog stay over night. I felt comfortable leaving our dogs with them❤️ I definitely recommend those dog done sisters for your pet.
