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!
After seeing the numerous positive reviews, I knew Cung would be an easygoing and professional cat sitter and house guest, and he was :-) Easy communication, prompt updates and clear concern for Boz & Artie's wellbeing, and pictures of cozying up on the couch together all made our time away secure and stress free. Upon returning home, the cats were chill and the apt was left spotless, as though he hadn't even been there.
Brian is a very professional sitter that does a good job, pays attention to details and is easy to work with. I have a lot of plants. A lot. He suggested me do a video for the plant care so he could be sure of which ones needed what. Brilliant! I’d never thought of that. They were in great shape when I returned. I explained that I needed some flexibility with travel dates, he agreed and rolled with the punches like a champ when my dates did indeed change. Unfortunately, he was a bit allergic to my cat but made it work anyway. He was really awesome about everything including a tree that fell next door in a storm and blocked the road for three days. I appreciate that he appreciated how funny and how much personality Boo has. They got along well and I received some great videos. I returned home to a happy cat and a house well taken care of 😊. I would definitely recommend Brian.
We literally cannot say enough positive things about Susan and Miranda! They are the best! From start to finish, they did an amazing job communicating with us, giving our 3 (somewhat needy) cats extremely high quality care and tons of attention, and keeping our house clean and plants watered. They took adorable pictures of the cats and sent them to us several times a day, played with them and gave them so much love and affection, and when we got home the house was even cleaner than when we left. We even asked them for some tips on how they were caring for the cats because our cats seemed happier and more relaxed than ever when we returned home to them! This was by far our best cat/house sitter experience to date. We hope Susan and Miranda are available again in the future to sit for us and would invite them back without hesitation.
Catherine was a wonderful sitter for our 17 year old cat Zabba. She sent us pictures twice a day and kept us informed about Zabba’s daily activities. We came home to a clean home and would definitely recommend her as a pet/ house sitter. My only concern was that she doesn’t drive and with an older cat, I just prayed that Zabba didn’t need to go to the vet…. And he didn’t 🥰. We will ask her again for sure.
Karen was able to step in a sit for me on short notice after another sitter canceled. She was very thorough and communicative and I felt I had left my apartment and cats in good hands with her. I came home to a clean apartment and happy cats. I definitely recommend Karen as a sitter.
If Cung ever applies to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the offer. You will not be disappointed. Cung is among the top (if not the top) sitter I’ve ever had and I’ve been on this site for years. Primarily, Cung is very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Cung kept me abreast of his plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk him through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Cung really cares. When he got to my apartment after what I assume was a long day of traveling, I explained the care instructions and he was very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Cung followed those exactly. Third, Cung makes you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out within an hour of me being away - very fast for my cat as he is shy. Cung must have a calming energy towards animals. Cung was also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 5 minutes. I really appreciated that. My cat threw up at one point and Cung answered all of my questions to assess whether my cat was sick or had just eaten too fast. Fourth, Cung will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The sheets were washed and folded on my bed. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Cung also respects your property. I have an extensive computer setup that he used for work and he was very respectful of that equipment. He asked if he could use it beforehand, which was incredibly polite since he could have used it and I wouldn’t have known. In sum. You need to jump at the opportunity if Cung offers to sit for you. I came home to a very happy cat. Hope he will sit for me again sometime!
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!
Cat and Paul sat for me in December and kept a watchful eye on my trusty sidekick Jake. All I can say is my gosh what a great job they did giving Jake a lot of TLC. He obviously missed them since he wandered around our home looking for them after their departure. My home was left in the exact same condition and they did a great job of communicating with me during my trip, letting me know exactly how Jake was getting along. I can't thank them enough for taking great care of my home and showing Jake a great time. I hope that during the coming year they will volunteer to do another sit for me. If you need any other specifics about how awesome a sitter Cat is please feel free to call or email me and I will be more than happy to give you more details. Hope you have an opportunity in the future to use them as house and pet sitters! Regards! Edward
We've had many pet/house sitters over the last few years and Cat and Eugene will reside at the top of the list of favorites! From my first email with Cat I knew I liked her. She has all of the qualities of a good house and pet sitter: Reliable, a good listener, organized, flexible, caring, and honest. She and Eugene arrived exactly on time for our pre-sit visit, where they got to meet Maya and become familiarized with the house. It was a delight to visit with them and become comfortable knowing Maya would be in good hands. Our scheduled dates changed somewhat and they were extremely flexible and easy going about the changes. Upon our return home, we found the house pretty much in the exact condition we left it in. I can tell that great care was taken for Maya and for the house. Maya seemed to still be looking for them the next day, wandering around the house wondering where the other people who loved her went. I would recommend Cat and Eugene for anyone looking for reliable, kind, respectful, caring, tidy, and honest sitters. If I am lucky, I will get to have them back to sit for me again.

I love the PlayDogs app! It's made family walks with our dog so much easier and more accessible. We quickly know where we can go and can even join groups and hear from others. Super interactive and engaging. We get to do so much more with our dog now!
Fabulous app! Very usefull and helpfull when we want walkîng with our dog in new area. Excellent for making new friends as well. I do recommand Playdog. I am sure you will like it
Easy user experience, great design, really meant for all dog owners!
Great app for discovering walks with our furry animals, especially when you don't know the location. Living in Paris for 10 years, I still discover parks thanks to the application which is also super easy to use. Well done to the developers who are clearly listening to users. PS: My dog has more friends than me now 🤣
This app is really great! When we go on vacation, we immediately have on the map the places that accept my Golden Retriever. The advantage also is that you can easily find parks, yes, but also restaurants, bars, hotels... it's super practical, I recommend it to all dog parents 🥰 …
Ultra practical application for going out with our four-legged friends, who escape from everyday life! Meet other dog parents.
This app has changed our walks 😍! It is simple to use, with quite a few well-informed suggestions. I also use it on vacation to discover the area and socialize 😉. I recommend! …
Very useful and very well designed application. I recommend it with my eyes closed. For lovers of walks and dogs it is perfect.
Great app, very user-friendly and allows you to meet other dog owners in the area! I recommend and Mustache too.
PlayDogs is really great. Easy to use, very beautiful design but above all super useful! Once adopted, you can no longer do without it. Thank you 🤩 …
Alex is great. My dog loves going there
Superb dog boarding! Alexandre is adorable and our German shepherd is happy to go there every time and makes him happy, that don't deceive. Free dogs, with walks and a real bond with Alexandre. Very professional and dog loving. Don’t hesitate if you are looking for a little corner of paradise for your companion. Myriam and Damien
On June 5, 2023 my partner dropped off our two dogs at Truffles & Co. Barely 30 minutes later they tried to call me to tell me that one of them had jumped the gate by two meters... (the one who didn't take off from the ground). The manager who welcomed them ended up admitting that he had left the door open to welcome another dog. On my hospital bed, I sent him screenshots of the GPS position of my dog who had traveled more than 4km. Total anxiety. My partner also had to quit his job to do his research. Cherry on the cake ; At the end of the day when he had to go pick them up, they drank 1.5 liters of water in the car... my partner went back to their house to have them fill the bottle, asking them if they had given it to them. drink !? Very bad experience. The manager reproached me for not having completed the questionnaire in the morning before they arrived whereas the day before, when requesting support by telephone, I asked him to send it to me because the next day I would not would not be available being in the hospital... Seriously can we say that they are professionals? Knowing that the manager himself accepted my two dogs without having the kennel cough vaccinations supposedly to be of service to me...! You are either professional or you are not and after this experience I can say that they are not! I bitterly regret leaving them at home! While other pensions much better than them take 53.- for 24 hours they are 52.- for the day.. Oh and no compensation for everything that happened - had to pay 104.- for both! It is shameful !
Great pension! Kai (Malinois) came back very tired but seemed to have really liked Alexandre (owner of the pension) and was giving her hugs as he left. Certainly the price is one of the highest in the canton but if that is necessary to have a high quality pension then that suits me. Thanks again and I have already booked other dates! I recommend this pension!
I am a very regular customer. Great availability, professional supervision, walks every day, the dogs are free in a garden, socialize, play constantly. My dog is happy to return there every time and I know that he is well treated and safe there.
Being able to give care of my dog to someone in whom I have total trust, a true professional who loves dogs and to whom they become attached, here, among other things, is what I found at Truffles & Co. Dogs are spoiled there, have room to play or rest. Walks in the countryside, sound advice, ease of making appointments... in short, I wholeheartedly recommend.
I highly recommend this pension, our dog has learned codes with other dogs, he works out and plays all day long. Alexandre has wise advice, flexibility in terms of schedules, a caring listener and he takes great care of our dog. I feel soothed when my dog goes there. We leave it on vacation and during the week. The dogs are taken care of, walks, meals, cuddles and special attention. This pension has changed our daily lives and we recommend it with our eyes closed.
I entrust my dog to Truffles and Co with my eyes closed. Yet very fearful of humans (dog rescued from the street), Alexandre was able to gain her trust very quickly thanks to his gentleness and his very good canine feeling. From now on, her joy and excitement upon arriving at the gate each morning testify to the great days she spends at the pension. I couldn't have hoped for better for her, thank you!
Excellent dog boarding facility. Very good service and very professional. It's nice to be able to go on vacation or weekend knowing that our dog is in good company.
Great pension, very accommodating for childcare hours. My 2.5 month old BA puppy was super happy to stay there during the day. I can only recommend.
Animals Cocoon has really helped me as a cat and dog owner. I was able to quickly find reliable professionals for my companions. Making appointments online is super convenient and saved me time. I recommend 100%!
Animals cocoon, an innovative platform and a great idea for the good of animals, there are professionals of all skills and from all backgrounds, it's really great. Go visit it and register. I love it, I registered as a communications and animal care professional for more visibility. This way we can find the person who can help us according to the needs of our animal, dogs, cats, NAC, birds. I say well done. Caroline
This is a great app idea! Although this type of service exists for humans, there is nothing similar for our four-legged friends until now. The site is pleasant and very easy to use. I completely agree!
Competent professionals, perfect for taking care of my furballs. I recommend!
I have a dog and this marketplace dedicated to animals is a real plus for me and it's a great place to find a good professional for my dog.
Great community connecting pet owners and professionals. The platform to know if you have a pet!
Sonia, a beautiful, trustworthy person. I recommend his services with my eyes closed 👍🏻🍀. Well done and great success!💖 …
