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.

"A relaxing and long time away from home made possible by the best pet & house sitters we could have asked for!" Judy and Steph went the extra mile over their entire one month stay at our home. Both our cats became fast friends thanks to the care and dedication provided for them. We were routinely updated with spectacular photos of our furry girls throughout our leave that helped us be anxiety-free the entire time. Even our older shy cat spent time sleeping on their laps or hanging out on shoulders. As for the house, Judy and Steph left it even cleaner than when they arrived! We had a few tasks to maintain the lawn and potted plants outside, which were completed perfectly. They even tended to our vegetable garden where needed! During a 'risk of severe hail storm' alert, Judy and Steph kept us in the loop and went even further to place potted plants under shelter out of harms way. In summary, we recommend Judy and Steph and would happily have them return again if our schedules cross paths.
I am struggling with naming our top adjective to describe Michael and Jeanne. "Conscientious" will likely be it but then again, "personable," "reliable," "organised," and "animal-loving" are top contenders. If you are reading this review and contemplating inviting this couple to watch your pets, then look no further. We have had a number of excellent house sitters but this pair was next level in terms of the love they showed our cats, Maxx and Nala. When we came back, we could our animals already missed them. These cats, who have never slept with anyone other than us, were getting in bed with them each night -- and that meant climbing stairs! The day before our trip, Nala got an ear infection and had to be put on steroids for asthma. Michael and Jeanne did not sign up for that when the sit was booked but they took it in stride. In the last-minute rush, I relayed that Nala needed her oral steroids morning and night. Michael read the RX label, indicating one dose a day, and contacted the vet to clarify. So you can see why "conscientious" is right up there. They saved Nala from an overdose! We were gone three weeks and they sent us just the right amount of pictures and videos. They bought cat toys (I forgot to put ours out!) and actively engaged with them, including 20-minute massages for Maxx. I truly believed them when they said they fell in love with our fur babies. The house was spotless (which was not important to me but truly appreciated) but I smiled when all six water stations in our yard were filled. They took seriously my love for and the needs of the wildlife in our yard. Our plants were all in good condition as well. Sensing they were "next level" when I met them, I predicted they would want to leave a meal for us upon our return. I asked them not to but they found another way to bow out with class. They made a donation to a nonprofit I work with instead. This I learned from the lovely thank you note they left. I hope they will consider Charles and I friends because we certainly feel that way about them now. What special people. If you book them, treat them well because they are going to do that for you for sure.
I feel that Julia is simply the best person and pet sitter I could ask for. They really cared for our cat and gave him lots of attention. She is flexible, upbeat, reliable, considerate and great at communicating. I highly recommend Julia and Chris.
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.
Anna was a wonderful sitter for our furry friends. My dog, Luke, bonded with her and was sad when she left. My cats would crawl under the covers and curl up with her at night. She is a true animal magnet and lover. I highly recommend Anna to anyone who wants their pets to recieve first class love while 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!
Heidi was an outstanding cat sitter for my Luna! She was very communicable via calls or texts. She followed all my guidelines for feeding and care of Luna. Luna was very content when I arrived home thanks to Heidi! My home was immaculate when I arrived and she did some snow shoveling. She even pulled a large broken tree branch off my roof following a windstorm. I hope Heidi is available for my next trip because she is awesome. Jim
Karen was an extraordinary house and pet sitter who I hope to invite back again soon. You would be extremely fortunate to have her take care of your pets and home. From the very beginning she radiated calmness, knowledge, caring and curiosity. We had a great initial conversation where Karen answered questions I didn't even know I should be asking, and asked excellent questions so she could be prepared and understand the special needs for both my cat and home. She flew into my city the day before I was leaving and stayed at a nearby hostel so that we could meet in person and do a walk through of my home. They say pets have an intuitive nature about people, and I knew Karen would be a winner when my normally very shy/nervous cat came right up and let her pet him. Karen sent wonderful pictures and updates while I was gone and asked questions when she wasn't sure about something. When I returned home everything was spotless and my cat was content. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better house sitter experience. Thank you Karen!
Greetings Pet People, I am a bit late leaving my review for Kristine who is local to us and has taken care of our kitties Max and Luis a few times this year. After COVID-19 was announced in March, our travel plans came to an abrupt halt. We had to cancel a lot of trips we had planned but decided that it was safe to go camping a couple of times this summer. We called on Kristine as one of our favorite sitters on this site. We discussed safety protocols and agreed to cleaning that we would do to leave the house safe for her to enter. She shared protocols that she had taken with other homeowners and had sound processes to make us feel safe leaving our cats and our home in her care. She even purchased batteries for our automatic cat feeder when it failed to let one of our confused kitties to eat. Kristine is a smart, humorous and a thoughtful person. I would not hesitate to recommend her for your sit. She truly loves animals and taking care of your home. Highly recommended! Thanks Kristine!
Kathy and Ron are the most accommodating sitters you will ever find. At my request they arrived a few days early and also made it clear they would be willing to extend their stay as needed. While at first they were a little uneasy about giving pills to our cat Sparky, they soon got the hang of it and did an excellent job caring for both cats even though the cats have very different schedules and needs. Kathy was great about keeping in touch with us and we knew they would be just fine for the several days when we were out of communication range. I would gladly invite Ron and Kathy back anytime and highly recommend them to you for your next getaway!
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, $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!
Hands down the best place for my dog. The staff are so warm and caring, even staff members I haven't met before greet my dog by name and seem to know who he plays with and how his days go. I have a very intense, extremely high energy, easily bored, destructive puppy. In a previous daycare (equally warm staff, but less staff members present and no toys/equipment for playing), my dog would come home tired but his manners would deteriorate after his time there. Sometimes he'd play a little too rough with other dogs and often he would smell bad. I believe this was due to poor supervision (dogs urinating and it not being cleaned promptly, unsupervised play getting too wild and rough). My dog has as good (or better) manners after going to Downtown Dogs and this was evident after his first week there. I work a lot and really appreciate that there is a place to bring my puppy where he gets to play, interact with other dogs and humans, and just be himself and thrive. I also appreciate that all the work I put into his training doesn't go out the window when I leave him at DD. They also offer a lot of a la carte activities, treats, playtime, etc. and sign up for these and regular services is really easy (online, by phone or email, or sign up sheet in lobby). Can't express how grateful I am to have found DD and that they love my dog so much!
Super care givers and handlers. Our dog is happy to go and happy when we pick him up. We love the one on one activities and being able to look in on the streaming video. Go Amber and Jackie, Clipper loves ya, and so do we!
My pup absolutely loves it here! I don't have to worry about him when he's here; I know he's having a good time and, as a bonus, he comes home exhausted. Everyone on staff is super friendly and responsible. They provide honest feedback about your pup, both good and bad. Additionally, they meticulously keep track of everything your pup needs, including food, treats and enrichment activities. They also ensure that my dog doesn’t get overstimulated by giving him enough breaks during the day. Their evaluation process gives me confidence that my pup will get to play with dogs of similar temperament and won't get bullied.
10/10 would recommend this facility! I was incredibly nervous leaving my dog in the care of someone who wasn’t me, but the employees here made me feel comfortable doing so. They are all kind and clearly love dogs. I love that I am able to check in on her through their live webcams, as well as having the option of “pupdates”, where they text you pictures/videos throughout the day. They have so many enrichment options to choose from to add something a little special to your dog’s day, which I always choose! My dog has gone here a few times and each time she is excited to go in and greet the workers/other dogs. I still get nervous leaving her, but knowing that she is genuinely being looked after/cared for makes me feel a little bit better. Definitely check this facility out if you are considering doggie day care!!
Downtown Dogs offers great enrichment activities and weekly treats that pet parents can choose from. My boy is never bored when he’s there. The great staff really get to know the dogs and best of all they really like the dogs who are in their care.
we love the staff and facility at DD! Our dog loves it here soooo much. We are never concerned leaving him when we go on trips. We know he is safe and taken care of and the little add ons of activities, treats, play time, and photo shoots make the experience that much better and cuter. 10/10 we love our DD family
Both San jose and Palo Alto locations are great. The staff is friendly and always doing special events for the dogs. I appreciate that your dog will also learn how to play well with other dogs and can practice other skills like obedience and agility.
This is a gem of a dog care facility. The staff are truly amazing. Their understanding and patience with Bernard’s quirks, like his playful habit of going through legs or his less charming moments of mounting, have been great and they handle correcting behaviors well. Bernie has been a regular for a few years now and absolutely adores his daycare and overnight stays. Whether it’s for a day or a week, I recommend this place!
I’ve been bringing my dog to downtown dogs for 2 years now, and would absolutely recommend them to others! It’s always a good sign when my dog is eager to go through the day care door every day. I love they have an evaluation before allowing any dog into the daycare, they put a cap on the staff to dog ratio, they have a they have 2 hr lunch breaks during the day to feed them and let them relax/digest, they are so accommodating of my pup who has his unique personality quirks, and they are great about giving feedback on my pup’s day each time I ask. Also, the staff is always so friendly and provides great customer service!
We absolutely love this place. From the first time that we brought our 11 week old to a puppy social here, we knew we had found an awesome group of people that we could trust. They are usually booked for daycare 3 days out and extended overnight boarding needs a month or more notice. We've been coming here for a year and a half now and every Thursday Artemis gets super excited and bounces off the garage door hoping to get to go for the day. The webcams are clutch and let parents watch how much fun our furbabies are having without us! This week we went through another puppysitting agency and we thought we were going to be ok being out of town for a week. Boy were we wrong. Even though we had introduced Artemis to the sitter beforehand and they seemed to get along, the sitter just couldn't get Artemis to trust her. It took a neighbor and their pup coming over to get her to feel safe enough to be leashed. Fast forward to a repeat of the situation the next day at the sitter's place. We were out of town and there was absolutely nothing we could do. Artemis was stressed and didn't feel safe, so was the sitter! Downtown Dogs really came through for us. Even though they were already fully booked, they listened to our situation and agreed that they were the safest place for Artemis to be, so they took her in! I am soooo glad that we had been bringing her here for soo long! Artemis is in a happy place where she knows and loves everyone and she gets to play with her pupfriends.
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. 👍👍👍 …

Allie‘s Doggie Day Camp is nothing beyond amazing! she is so flexible with my schedule and is very prompt with communication. you can tell how much love she pours into each one of her dogs at camp. My pup gets so excited everytime he arrives at the front gate. Allie’s is so clean and organized with plenty of water, mini pools, fans (when hot outside), beds and activities to keep the dogs busy throughout the day.
We were very lucky to find Allie’s Doggie Camp to look after our dog Butter while we’re on vacation. Allie is a delightful lady who genuinely loves dogs and is passionate about her job. Her spacious and well-maintained backyard provides the perfect play area for the dogs, and she keeps us informed with regular updaters via text/email. We just got back from a three week vacation and it was great to receive a video of Butter enjoying a relaxing massage while we were away:). Butter always returns home healthy and happy, clearly having a wonderful time there. Big thanks to Allie for taking great care of our dog and being there to help us whenever we needed it! I highly recommend Allie’s Doggie Camp!
So glad I found Allie's! The facility is gorgeous, kind of a spa for dogs, and very clean. Allie is very professional, very knowledgeable about all things dog and obviously really loves dogs. I trusted her with my Chiweenie, Elliott, for almost 2 weeks while I was away last month and I can happily say I have no regrets about it! I know Elliott got THE BEST care and I know he had a fantastic time with Allie and all the other dogs. I highly recommend Allies Doggie Day Camp.
We love bringing our dogs to Allie! She was nice enough to let our puppy try again with his older sister after failing the first assessment. Now they go every week, and our puppy is comfortable and confident enough to start going alone
My two dogs have been attending Allie's for almost 2 years now. So many places crate the daycare dogs constantly or have tiny spaces to play. Here they have tons of outdoor space, doggy pools, birthday parties, and more. They absolutely love their time there and bye Felicia me at the gate every morning.
Allie's Doggy Day Camp and Boarding is amazing. The first time we boarded our sweet dog there, we got little videos showing him running around playing with other dogs or chasing a ball that was being thrown for him. It helped us miss him a little less. More importantly, the peace of mind that we had knowing our family dog was being so well cared for and that our pup was having fun was so important. Another reviewer mentioned it was more like a doggy retreat or spa, and we fully agree on this.
Allie is by far the best doggie daycare and boarding option I've had the fortune to come by. She offers some of the most reasonable prices and is the closest thing to having a family member or close friend watch your dog. Ally offers convenient scheduling, a clean & open backyard and rigorous behavioral screening ensuring safety and peace of mind.
Allie is the best, took our German Rottie while we were out of town for 2 weeks! He enjoyed his time so much. Not only I think this is a place for your dog to be baby sat, but also a great place to have you dog socialize, play and learn positive tendencies which Allie teaches. This place is truly a PAWmaly 🐾❤️🧑🧑🧒🧒 …
Allie's Doggy Day Camp is an awesome place to leave your furry friend while you're away. I felt very welcomed leaving my 6 month old puppy at her place. Allie is super knowledgeable about dogs and makes sure each dog is a good fit for the daycare. She's also flexible and accommodating, so you can rest assured that your pup will be well taken care of.
Allie and her pack are the true dog whispers. My Beau loves staying overnight with her... tons of fun, play and rest. My heart and mind is always at peace when Beau is with Allie. And the ultimate bonus is the pictures.
The team at Dirty Paws are great, I would recommend to anyone with pets. Over the years we have had Kenya, Elizabeth, and Madi look after our cats. The online portal to schedule is easy to use with plenty of options for 15min, 30min, 45min or overnight stays that have put myself and my wife at ease that our cats have the best care when we aren’t around. In addition to the daily updates with many pictures they have administered drugs to our pets, brought in packages, dealt with low battery smoke detectors and taken care of many many cat accidents but always without any issues and always with clear communication. Most importantly when we return home, our pets are safe, calm and content. Appreciate the team greatly from our late kitties Riley and Wednesday as well as our current Seven and Paisley.
I have used the team at Dirty Paws several times now. They always do a great job looking after my 3 cats, providing excellent communication and bring very well organized with how they complete all the requested tasks (feed cats, empty litter boxes, search for and clean up “accidents”). My cats are very shy, but have warmed up to the pet sitters they employ. Happy customer - will continue working with them for many years to come
I've used Dirty Paws for the last few years and they have always provided EXCELLENT service! Before the first time they took care of my cat, the owner scheduled a walk through with me and took the time to learn about my car and any need she had and where everything was in my place so that they could provide the best care and talked to me about everything. It made me feel a lot more at ease leaving my car with someone that I was able to get to meet and know. When it came time to schedule a service, it was incredibly easy on the app that they use. I always schedule a 30 minute daily home visit for my cat which includes feeding, cleaning litter box, and any small things at my place like watering plants or taking in mail if needed (I believe that they will also administer meds if needed, but my cat doesn't need any)- and then of course play time with my cat for the remainder. After every service, I get a note on the app with how everything was, if there were any issues, and pictures of my cat. Honestly, I can't rave enough with how much I appreciate having found Dirty Paws and how comfortable they make me feel leaving my car in their care!!
I've used the services of Dirty Paws Pet Sitting & Dog Walking several times now and I recommend them wholeheartedly. Kenya, the owner, made an in-home visit before any services were provided, which put me at ease. My cat is very shy, but Kenya and Madi and Kara have taken amazing care of him. They visit twice daily while I’m out of town for work, and I always receive pictures and updates after their visits. The convenience of the Time to Pet app is fantastic—it makes booking, messaging, and paying invoices for Dirty Paws a breeze. Their pricing is clear for each service and reasonable for this area. If you're looking for reliable and caring pet sitters, look no further than Dirty Paws!
At first we were hesitant has we've never left our Siberian husky alone or with someone else.. she's 15 months old and has some separation anxiety but Kenya and her team came through for us! They showed up at the designated times that we requested played with our dog fed her, played fetch, and let her go potty as our Luna loves to play fetch. Thank you Kenya and thank you for sending Stephanie Luna just loved her and Stephanie was fantastic with her.. will definitely be using them from now on
We’ve worked with Kenya and the team at Dirty Paws for 9 or 10 years, and have always been extremely satisfied with their service. They are caring, have excellent communication, and extremely reliable. I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking pet sitting.
Kenya and the Dirty Paws team are great! We can leave town with peace of mind knowing that our pets will be cared for by responsible, experienced animal lovers who send us delightful pics. One of our cats requires meds and Kenya always makes sure that she is clear on exactly how and when to give them. She's also a great communicator, and gets back to me quickly via text or phone. As with any high-quality service, it's important to request dates well ahead of time as her services are in high demand. I recommend Kenya and her team without hesitation.
I’ve been a Dirty Paws customer for over 3 years and I am obsessed with Kenya and my dogs love her so much. I have used all her services: dog walking, in-home overnight pet sitting and transportation. Dog walking (5/5): My dogs were walked by a wonderful woman employed by Kenya name Elizabeth. You can tell Kenya makes sure to hire people who love dogs and treat them as if they were theirs. On days when Elizabeth could not walk the dogs Kenya would happily step in. Kenya is very flexible and is happy to accommodate last minute walks (if she has the capacity). After each walk your are sent a photograph of your puppies. 😊 In-home overnight pet sitting (5/5): When staying over in your home the sitter is there to keep your dog company while you’re away. They get a night walk, fed dinner and then a morning walking and breakfast. Transportation (5/5): Kenya runs this service herself and it’s amazing since I do not drive. She takes my dogs to the groomers every few weeks. Kenya also takes my dogs to the vet for their quick vaccination shots since vets were not allowing you to go inside but rather needed to collect the dogs from a parked car. I am so happy to have met someone like Kenya as she is so kind and really loves your animals and truly loves what she does. I highly recommend trusting your pets with her care.
AMAZING Service. You will not be disappointed. Their team goes above and beyond with their care for your pet. I can trust that my cat will be in good hands when I am far away from home. I appreciate their report and photos after each visit. They will give the proper attention and care that your pet needs. I highly recommend booking your pet sitting services with them!
Kenya and team at Dirty Paws Pet Sitting will go above and beyond to take care of your pets as if they are family. I have used several different pet sitting services in the past, and none of them compare to Dirty Paws. The communication and care is top notch. I was never worried about my dogs and knew that they were getting excellent attention and love while I was out of town.
I wish we had found Brent and his team with our prior pup. I admire Brent's knowledge of dogs so much. Our two dogs have learned so much thanks to Brent.
He knows how to train German Shepherd but I'm not sure if he knows well about other breeds. I have Rhodesian Ridgeback and his method is not compatible with my dog. His training method is too aggressive and can cause serious physical and mental suffering. For the non-working dog breeds, his training method is over-corrected, cause fear and can harm the relationship between the owner and the dog.
Brent has a great system to train dogs and of course, their owners. It's has brought us closer to our puppy and relieved so much stress raising a puppy. Everywhere we go we get so many compliments on the demeanor of our little girl. So grateful we found Cooperhaus Kennels.
The trainers here are very friendly and patient, always happy to answer any questions. I definitely recommend them for anyone looking for knowledgeable and caring dog training!
I take my dog Apollo here, I absolutely love this place! He has made so much progress here than with other trainers.
Took good care of my dogs while I was on vacation. They are exhausted lol
Awesome!! Ryker really did well and Brent and Skye plus one other assistant were beyond beyond’ Ryker is an older dog and I wanted to make sure he has the best quality of life as an adult!! Social and skills!!
Amazing place! Brent provided my Boxer pup the foundation training he needed and I was struggling to succeed at. Brent also gave me some sage training tools to apply and continue at home.
I saw immediate changes in my puppy's behavior after the 1st class. We have been going ever since. My pup absolutely loves coming here, and as an owner I am learning a lot, too! Highly recommend.
Great trainer for my dog. Enjoy going through the classes
1st time bringing my dog, Oreo, for boarding, he stayed for a week. I was a little skeptical at first because of his personality, and I was worried how he would behave when I'm not around. I was surprised and happy to hear from the staff that he was a good boy, and how he became comfortable with everyone that attended him. I recieved pictures of him daily which made me feel better, and I was able to watch the Webcam and one of the staff stole a kiss from him, which I thought was super cute. Everyone I talked to was very friendly and helpful. I am pleased to say that I finally found a place where I feel comfortable taking him for boarding. I also appreciated that I got to do a free tour before I proceeded with the boarding, very helpful. Thank you to the Wags Hotel team for making Oreo's experience (and mine) a good one! I truly appreciate it.
Wag has taken AMAZING care of my dog Oscar for over 3 years now! He’s always so excited to go to daycare, and most of the staff recognize him the moment he walks in! Taja, Zach (Zack?) and the person we often see at the front with facial piercings (so sorry I don’t know your name!!) are regulars in Oscar’s life and always take the time to give him extra love. I HIGHLY recommend trusting the folks at Wag Santa Clara with your pups (: <3
Very accommodating staff and easy to book a stay for my two fur babies. Both dogs came back calm and clean after a 6 days of boarding. They seemed well taken care of and happy. Thank you :)
1st time boarding my 3 little dogs. They were very attentive and provided excellent care for them for the 6 days they were there. They were aware of my concerns about this being the 1st time they were boarded and took care to ensure my babies were well cared for. Staff is friendly, professional, and polite. My babies loved everyone and really enjoyed their time in all day play with the other doggies. Great place. They have discounts for multiple babies. They even have a groomer on site and my babies enjoyed a great bath during their stay. I will definitely bring them back again and again.
My dog loves coming here for daycare ("all day play") and boarding. Whenever I load her into the car her tail is wagging and I can tell she's really excited. The staff are all really personable, and everyone knows my dog and greets her as soon as we step through the door, which makes her even more excited! They plan fun holiday enrichment events - such as hula skirt parties and pumpkin pup cup days. She has come home with some adorable cards and keepsakes with her paw prints on them! This Halloween there was also a really fun "Howl-o-ween" party for pets and owners. I keep bringing her back because I feel like the staff truly know and care for her, and it is a large, clean facility (they are constantly cleaning). I love the convenience of not needing to pre-reserve daycare appointments/dates - I can just show up and drop her off. Booking reservations for boarding is easy, and they've always had availability for us - even on busy holiday weekends.
People were extremely friendly and the service was exceptional. I had to drop my dog off for the day and was pressed for time with a schedule that wasn’t defined. Wags staff provided me with an extremely fast check in process and were very flexible on the pick up time. Very convenient service. I could also watch me dog play in the yard with the other dogs on their camera. Was great to see my dog having so much fun with the other dogs.
I have great experience with Wag Hotel Santa Clara! The staffs were so kind and attentive. They really took care of our dogs and gave attention to each of our dogs with compassion. They will let us know if our dogs have issue and make sure they will be taken care of.
First time boarding our furry family member and so sons glad we went to Wag Hotel. Everything about this place is just over the top excellent! The service, the care, the daily emails with a photo (see photo) during Toby’s stay made us comfortable knowing he was in good hands. Thank you for making Toby’s stay so special. We appreciate everyone of the Wag Team Santa Clara
If I could give more stars, than I would! These guys are lifesavers. A medical emergency came up that left me and my dog stranded near the hospital my dad was sent to for multiple days. Emergency boarding was full, so I tried booking an appointment with Wags, which I made an account to try and do. Since it was the same day, I had to call, and not only were they able to connect my number to the account before I could even introduce myself, but they managed to snag me a coupon to make the day play affordable. When things got worse, I was able to call them and extend my dog's stay, and they were able to work with me. So my dog managed to have two days of fun and a night of boarding to bridge them, and it was not only affordable but a great peace of mind! The staff were lovely, friendly, and clearly loves dogs. My pup had a great time, and I recommend this place to all my friends now who have no one to watch over their canine children! Thank you all for your help, you made everything so much easier in ways I cannot describe. <3
The staff is amazing and really good with our dog. They also take very good care to follow any specific food and vitamin/medicine instructions. Our dog always has a good time and I love that the staff remembers her. I truly feel that they care about each of the dogs like they are their own.
Danielle is super professional and took great care of my four cats for two weeks! Everyday she sent me an update about my babies wellbeing and pics, she answered all my messages really fast. I used to leave my cats at pet hotels when we travelled, but my cats loved staying in the house, it was less stressful for all of us. I saved her contact for future trips, because it was really comforting to know she was here to take good care of my cats.
I have been using Danielle’s services for many years and trust my pets are in good hands with her! I have a senior dog and a cat with diabetes and she is able to give them all of their medication without any issues! She is reliable and knows how to care for animals in a professional and caring way. She also has great advice and recommendations so I can better care for my animals when asked. Her services are exceptional and she goes above and beyond for each animal. She developed a deep connection with each of my animals so I feel most comfortable leaving them in her care. It puts me and my pets at ease knowing she is caring for then when I am away or in need!
My two Chihuahuas have stayed with Danielle a few times now and I've always felt they were in the best hands! Twyla has some resource guarding tendencies which Danielle is skilled in handling. And my old man Wilson has kidney disease which gives him poor appetite but he always eats for Danielle. I would absolutely recommend!!
Four Paws is great. They are very caring and professional. Our dog had an emergency surgery and was on medications. We needed someone with experience and also knowledgeable about after care surgery since we couldn’t cancel an important trip. A very difficult situation for us and even though our dog was stable and was already 7 days since the surgery we were worried. We found Four Paws on line. We met with Danielle and Bianca and Immediately felt confident leaving our doggie with them. Danielle kept us informed about our dog’s progress and the medications intake. Danielle made especial arrangements the first few days to accommodated our dog’s needs and to make her feel comfortable and safe!. We will forever be grateful with them for helping us during that emergency situation. After that event we had left our dog a couple of times with Danielle and Bianca and each time it has been a great experience , our doggie is happy and We finally go on trips with a peace of mind !!!
I am so grateful to have found Danielle a little over a year ago! My 9 year old Pomeranian, Wally, has many medical conditions and Danielle is the only person I trust to leave him with. He has a thyroid issues, collapsing trachea, allergies and had a recent knee surgery. I needed someone with medical experience above a day to day walker who would be able to check in on him and make sure he was ok when at work (and let me know!). After knee surgery he still wanted to get out and about and Danielle walked him around the neighborhood in his stroller - he loved it! I've also used Danielle for overnights and Wally had a blast. He can be difficult with taking medications and picky with food and Danielle handled it with ease (and got him to eat!!!!!). I can truly relax on vacation knowing he's safe and taken care of. Recently Danielle has offered doggy daycare and these are some of Wally's most fun days. He always comes home happy and tired!!! I can honestly say Wally is a happier and healthier dog because of Danielle - I highly recommend her services!
Danielle has been a fantastic pet sitter! She is always responsive and has gone the extra mile to take great care of our cat while we’re away, spending quality time with her and administering medications whenever needed. She sends us photos with each visit so we know that our cat is doing well. I highly recommend Danielle to anyone, especially those whose pets have health conditions and need extra care. Thank you, 4 Paws!
We had Danielle at 4 Paws watch our dog while we were on vacation. He is very nervous with new people and we were worried about leaving him with just anyone. I knew as soon as we dropped him off that we made the right choice to leave him with Dani. We received photos while we were away updating us on his status and could see that he was having a great time with her and the other pets in her care. By the time we got back he was so comfortable with them I know I’ll be using them again in the future. Five stars all the way!! I’d recommend them to anyone needing care for special needs animals or just for a doggie play date. We enjoyed our vacation so much more knowing our baby was safe and happy.
Danielle has taken care of our dogs and cat a number of times and has been very responsive and professional in every situation. Our animals are always excited to see her, which shows she has positive relationships with them. She meticulously follows our pets’ dietary regimens and I highly recommend her. Rest assured your expectations will be met or exceeded.
We are so happy to have found 4Paws Pro Care in Santa Clara! Our mini doodle has stayed with 4Paws (Danielle Mores) for extended stays while we had to be away (and a couple of times for daycare). You couldn’t ask for a better experience or better care. Our pup is so comfortable with them that when we arrive she runs in like she is home! We really appreciate their focus on security and chemistry with the other dogs. It is a positive, enriching environment:) Danielle keeps us updated regularly while we are away. And it is a comfort that Danielle has a background as a registered veterinary technician. She has also been flexible when we have had schedule changes. 4Paws is our pup’s home away from home :):)
Danielle has been a great and reliable sitter for our 3 cats! She has looked after our cats many times. She is the first person we contact to drop in with our cats when we need to go out of town. We would definitely recommend Danielle to care for your pets!
My dog is super happy here! Always excited when we arrive. The staff that works here is super sweet. The lady that always checks us in is the best. My pup is tired and happy when I pick him up.
The grooming here is wonderful! Kristy is always so sweet and helpful and my golden retriever Taz looks brand new after every visit! You can tell they have a heart for animals - we appreciate you!
We’ve been taking our mini Aussie here for about two years after trying multiple kennels. It’s a bit far from home but so worth it! The prices are great, it’s clean, and the staff is so friendly. We do short weekend stays and extended stays (7+ nights) and our dog always comes back happy! We’ve never had an issue and it eases our mind that there’s a vet on sight if needed. Thank you to the loving staff at Springdale for taking such great care of our pup when we are away!
A wonderful place that we take our siberian husky Lulu. She always comes home exhausted from playing with the other large dogs. She bounds with excitement the 2 days a week she goes. We have also used the groomer services there a couple of times and She looked and smelled wonderful.
We boarded our insanely energetic puppy, Dot, and very anxious senior dog, Rosie, with Springdale. We’ve always used Rover and have had a few bad experiences but I was still apprehensive about boarding our dogs at a kennel. As soon as we arrived I felt at ease and knew they were going to be safe. The pups have a large, shaded, enclosed play area that a bunch of dogs were playing in when we pulled up. The gal who checked us in was so friendly and made me feel like our dogs were going to be well taken care of. It feels like a Vet office and there was an intake process where we told them about Dot and Rosie. What made the biggest difference for us was when we picked them up. Firstly, we were late getting in and the same gal who checked us in stayed an extra half hour so we could pick them up right from the airport. I could have cried I was so relieved, I didn’t want to go another day without our dogs. She should get a raise. Springdale was also $420 CHEAPER than Rover for the same number of days. I had always thought kennels would be way more expensive. Our senior dog typically loses weight if she’s away from home but when we picked her up from Springdale she hadn’t lost a pound. I know she was at ease enough she was able to eat regularly, which made me feel so much better. Dot was smiling, covered in dirt, and stunk like dog so we know she had a blast with her new friends. As soon as we were home Dot and Rosie instantly relaxed like they had never been away. AND Rosie has a cherry eye that pops in and out. It popped back in the morning after we picked them up! We will use Springdale as long as they stay open and I would highly recommend them to anyone who are anxious dog parents like us.
This place is all about loving animals more than money! The vet is so down to earth and made me feel like my dog was in the best hands and he was understanding about my limited budget... The techs, Alexis, and i did not get the other girls name, were very knowledgeable and just great with LilMan. This was our 2nd visit with this place and this is where we will remain. Thank you all for the care and for seeing us without an appointment today.
Our Husky has been enjoying his stays here for years! The staff always happily greets our dog & they are very friendly. What's also super conveinient is that there's a Veterinarian located next door, just in case you may need to schedule an appointment to get caught up on your dogs' vaccinations or any other needs. We use Springdale Kennel for long term boarding, but i've seen many just drop off their dog for a few hours at doggy daycare! That's a great idea too! Our dog loves the socialization & the caring staff here.
Location is a bit far from home. BUT great service & price. My Husky had an 8 day stay and seemed to love it!
Our 2-year-old golden loved this place!!! She came back in the happiest mood I’d seen her. The check-in and out was quick and friendly. They gave the special food I provided in bags.
I left my both dogs for more then month good price also they take care dogs really good if you need pics and video they sent to you Kiriste she is awesome. Ny journey was so good when I came back my dogs was okey they were perfect I glad that I found this place . If I want to leave my dog in future I will trust them only also really good price
Carine is absolutely amazing with our two puppies. She met them when they were not leash trained, they didn’t really know how to be dogs and their personalities were just coming out. She’s patient and has taught them so much in such a short period of time. We use her dog walking service regularly and her boarding occasionally. Both services are very reasonably priced.
Boots Had a wonderful experience with Carine & Fun4Paws team. Carine is a wonderful caretaker for k9 pets and gave me updates and told me how his behavior pattern was. I look fwd to sending him again for few more boarding sessions and also when possible pack walk. Rest assured my pup Boots had a happy stay and hope he gets into his comfort zone when he goes for more such boarding sessions with Fun4Paws in future. I recommend the wonderful Carine for all pet lovers and pawrents to try her experienced love and care for boarding your furbabies. —Shanti
I’ve done day cares and dog walking with Carine and she’s done a great job in both. She sends constant updates and suggestions especially when my dog was having separation anxiety. I’d highly recommend her. Glad I found her since I’ve had bad experiences with people from rover as most are inexperienced. My dog enjoys going with her on their walks. Thank you Carine!
Awesome. Carine takes great care of the pooches! My doodle is spoiled when he’s at Carine’s. I love that he has other furry friends to play with whenever he’s at Carine’s!
Carine is great! We've been using her as our dog walker for about five years now. She walks our dogs most week days, and we also rely on her to house sit for us and watch our dogs when we are out of town. You can tell she really cares about animals. Our puppers are really happy to see her when she arrives!
Completely Amazing! Carine came over with her pack and my dog immediately became aggressive on his leash. He is leash reactive but Carine said she would work with that. When she came over with her pack I just thought "Oh God" this will never work! He's already being aggressive. I thought she would tell me it wasn't going to work. BUT I left her alone and soon received a photo of her and my dog in the pack walking happily along. When they arrived I couldn't believe it. He was happy as I've ever seen him and no issues with the other dogs! She did extra work with him solo before the walk then with each dog in the pack so it was a lot of time and she didn't even charge me for that! I cannot recommend this Dog Whisperer enough. She knows what she's doing hands down and has such a special way with animals. My dog is in love with her. Thank you Carine and Fun4Paws!!!!!!!!!
I would recommend this business!! It was a great experience! We live out of town over 300 miles and had to find a place for dog sitting for 6 hours. My dog is disabled and alert and affectionate and sweet and gets along with other dogs. My dog is potty trained and no trouble.The other dog sitters and facilities wouldn't take him because he can't walk. It was difficult even to speak with a live person!! Please if you need someone to take care of your fur baby PLEASE Call Fun 4 Paws!!
Carine turned my socially awkward Shar Pei into a civilized team player. We are grateful.
Ok, first and foremost, I've used Calero (now "Golden Hour") a handful of times this year after moving the Bay Area. I drive nearly an hour to board my dog there because 1) Kristie is incredibly knowledgeable and super caring (above and beyond) and that became obvious after our first conversation but I continue to be impressed and grateful for her deep knowledge, 2) the premises are really great, the dogs get tons of beautiful outdoors space (acres!), 3) Kristie and her husband have been only outstanding to work with, 4) I know my dog loves it there... she pulls to go in, 5) my dog comes back happy and calmer than at drop off, 6) Kristie has directly helped me with some simple but key issues that I could not figure out myself as my doggie transitions into her senior years, and 7) Kristie holds a wealth of information for some random questions I've had through the months. Lastly, she follows up with me on whatever topics or themes come up. That I why I drive an hour to drop off my dog with them.
Dedicated, caring, and genuine pet-lovers, both Kristie-Miranda and her husband! My dog Toby balks at the groomers and the vet, but he cruises right into Kristie-Miranda's place without hesitation. It is so wonderful not to worry about leaving my beloved pet in their capable hands. Reasonable prices too. Highly recommended!
Looks like a great place for med or big dogs. We went to see the place, thinking they could be a solution while we're away on long trips. A farm with a line of quite large fenced cages to keep the dogs. One of the cages is used to keep the chickens. There's a meadow for running around. They're also building a dog run. Owners seem keen on caring for animals. Our dog of 15 lbs wouldn't be able to run around with the big dogs - owners fear an attack, so would keep her in the office (?) overnight, but said she could follow the owners around during the day while on chore duties. So there wouldn't be a lot of social opportunities, but this is still a far better solution than having our dog in a small cage all day! Prices are said to be half what many Bay Area boarders charge (also just casual evidence - we've never boarded our dog).
I've been going here about 2 years now and it's absolutely the best place for your dog!! My dog Snickers can't wait to jump out the car as soon as he sees Kristie! If you're looking for great care and a place where your pup can play throughout the day, this is it. Kristie and her team are the best and I know I can always count on Snickers being safe, cared for, and having the time of his life!
Kristie really loves dogs, takes care of them seriously, and has a lovely property in the hills with nice outdoor space. On top of that, her rates are really great. My dog gets *dirty* when he's there, so for long stays he'll get a bath before I pick him up. The most important thing is that when we're almost there, he's clearly excited.
Love this place. They take good care of my dogs. We use them all the time and won't go anywhere else. Best place to drop your dogs off. Very caring people, and great communicating with you about how your dogs are doing
The best place to watch your dog. Christie and Chris are so kind and caring and they took very good care of our dog.
Kristie is good with my girls, and they love her!
Amazing! We live in Sacramento and is worth the drive to make sure our dog is taken care of.
Very nice and polite owners Super helpful and good pet retreat
Stef is a dream come true. Pricing is very affordable. Our dogs absolutely love her. They are thrilled when she comes, and so excited to see her. I have a ring and can see them all. She's always on time and treats them like her own. She loves them too. We have 3 (wide variety of needs and abilities) 8 month old Frenchie, 2.5 yr old male blue nose and 6 year old female blue nose. She does whatever it takes to make sure they all get what they need. If we could afford it, we would absolutely have her 7 days a week. She's a great communicator and very flexible. We have changes to the schedule a lot and she is super flexible and understanding. We love her! Highly recommend!
Stef is fantastic ! She is reliable and trustworthy, she is able to accommodate us when needed, even with last minute changes to our schedule, and best of all she can handle my 90lb yellow lab (and he LOVES her!!). Your dog is in good hands with her.
Stef has been great! I hired her 10 months ago to walk my 80 lb Labrador, Casey. He's 11 years old but has the energy of a two year old. He's very strong but Stef has handled him nicely without problem. She communicates very well. I am thrilled to know that Casey gets exercise everyday and he's always happy to see her. I would highly recommend Stef to anyone who needs a reliable dog walker.
Stef is an amazing dog walker. She is thoughtful and sympathetic to my pup’s desires. She switches it up when my pup gets bored with the same ol’ walk all the time. Excellent with communication and she has been gracious when I needed to change the schedule. Would recommend!
Steph has been amazing with our two labs, one puppy that is a handful and another elderly lab. She's always on time and very trustworthy. The dogs are so excited to see her when she comes! She's very communicative and quite flexible when changes are needed to the schedule. Would highly recommend!
Stef is great! She is reliable, professional, and very flexible with my crazy work schedule. She has been walking my 11 month old border-terrier/doxie mix for almost six months now, and DJ absolutely loves her. She truly does treat your pet like it was her own. Would highly recommend her for your pet needs.
Stefanie is a great pet sitter. She loves dogs , handles our dogs with care, gets them tired everyday with exercise , and feeds them at the right times. We have also loaned her one of our cars to use with the dogs and have never had any problems. We also trust her with our house. Last year she took care of our dogs while we were in Hawaii for 10 days and she did a great job. 5 stars for stefspetservices —-
I'm so glad I found Stef. She's been walking my two golden retrievers, one is 11 and the other is now eight months old, for around three months now, 5 days a week. I have a camera up so I can watch the dogs and I can see that they're always excited whenever she comes to the door and it's great exercise and mental stimulation for them while I'm at work. I had called around to a couple of dog walking services before I found her and Stef was the first to respond, the other services didn't even bother calling back. She is very friendly and obviously loves dogs. Puppies can be a lot to deal with but she's very good with handling him. I don't know what I'd do without Stef!
Excellent dog walker. Our dogs completely adore her. She’s very flexible and responds immediately to any questions, requests, etc. Recommended completely!
Stef's always taken good care of my now elderly PippiCat - whenever I've needed it!1
