I'm delighted to have found Lisa as a sitter and hope to have her back again! She was detail oriented and clearly cared about my cats' well being. She asked good questions about the cats' routines and needs and about the house to be sure she'd meet my expectations and have a comfortable and successful sit. She communicated very well before and throughout the sit and even though I was unreachable for much of the time I was confident everyone was in good hands. Lisa left the house in immaculate condition and the cats were relaxed and happy when I got home. What a delight!
Nathalie and John were great! They were great house sitters to watch our two dogs, 2 geckos, our old cat and bull frog. Their two girls took good care of the animals as well. The house was exactly how we left it. We really appreciated their help!
Hannah and Joseph were brilliant sitters - totally reliable and trustworthy. Quick to respond to queries and their past experience with dog/ housesitting was very apparent. Our 2 dogs and 1 cat were well looked after and the house was spotless on our return. We are totally happy to recommend them.
Denae and Burl were absolutely fabulous house/pet sitters for 4 weeks, Dec 2022- Jan 23. They are very friendly and intelligent, caring towards the animals (2 cats and 1 lively dog), and left our home clean and tidy. It all went very, very smoothly. It was a pleasure to deal with such nice people. We have invited them back whenever they want and hope the rest of their exploratory mission is a great success. I would be pleased to be contacted if anyone needs a further reference.
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.
Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!
Caroline is an amazing sitter ! We were far away, had never left our cat for such a long period of time and we felt really confident with her. She took great care of our cat Honey as well as she did for the house, pool and garden. She was even able to handle the end of the refection of the bathroom which was a last minute surprise… We felt Caroline was reliable and self sufficient. We had a great communication with her during our stay abroad. We even found many nice intentions when we came back from our vacations such as fresh fruits and bakeries for a nice and welcomed breakfast after a night in a plane ! We definitely recommend Caroline for your sittings and we will obviously call her back !
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.
Steven was a great sitter for our black lab Souris and cat Pinot. They were well looked after and really liked Steven. Our house was in good order when we got back and Steven was kind enough to give us a lift to and from the airport. He was very flexible, arriving day early so we could show him around.
I whole-heartedly recommend Carly and her partner Fanny to sit for you! They were fabulous and reliable house sitters from start to finish. Carly was timely and thoughtful in all of her communications and let us know the state of affairs in our apartment with our cat and plant babies while we were away. They followed our directions to a 'T.' We came home to find a happy cat, thriving plants, a spotless apartment and laundered linens. We would definitely consider contacting them again to house sit for us!
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least 20$ per visit, $20/week per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
Amazing people who do a great job taking care of their puppy guests!
Swell guy and good neighbor
We love DWP as does our 11#’er rescue dog, Orion. We come in the door with him, and he’s off to see his buds! The staff are so kind and caring of their charges. We take Orion here for doggy daycare and overnight boarding. Thank you Team DWP!!
I LOVE this place! Most importantly my dog loves this place! I was so impressed with how I can tell that the owners love what they do and pay such close attention to all dogs under their care. You can tell that they really care and get to know each dog. As an owner of a pure bred cane corso, I really appreciate their ability to lead the dogs, read dog body language, and manage all the dogs. The biggest thing that impressed me about them was when I came back to pick up my Corso, she was walked up to me off leash and behind the gentleman. I've only seen her do that we me as she pulls everyone else like a lead sled dog. I really appreciate all of the attention and care that they give and they both are genuinely excited to see my dog when I drop her off. I've recommended her to everyone who is looking for doggie day care or boarding. Thanks for everything!
I’ve been taking my dog here for about 5 months now since moving to Concord and I have to say this is the best doggy day care I’ve ever taken him to. Despite having 40-60 days a day (on weekdays), Melissa and her colleagues remembered my dog’s name after just one visit! When I pick him up, they usually provide me with an update on who he’s played with and how he did that day. Also, Melissa helped me today with removing a tick off my dog, which I was grateful for! These people know their stuff! Love this place!
Such a wonderful place, I can’t say enough nice things about Dogs Will Play. The staff are so friendly and happy. The facilities are clean and plenty of space for dogs to play. We have an energetic GSP and he LOVES going to dogs will play. When we drop him off he is so excited and runs right back to see his friends, and never looks back to say goodbye. He always comes home happy and tired.
Best place for my giant puppy! She loves going here and she really loves the people that work here. She practically drags me across the parking lot to get into this place. She's a regular for daycare, and we have used the hotel service several times. She's always been a happy camper here.
This is hands down the best daycare/place to board my dog I have found. I've been taking my dog here for more than a year now. They really care about the animals and it shows. My dog is always happy and worn out when I pick him up. I love the stories I get about what he did and who he played with. When I had surgery they were super accommodating and helpful. When I couldn't physically take care of my dog, they gave me a place I could take him, where I knew he was safe and taken care of, and I am extremely greatful. If anyone from Dog Will Play reads this, thank you. 😊
Our doggie used to play here and sometimes we would also board him when we were out of town but he was rejected recently because the new gal said that he was aggressive. Maybe he thought you were the vet or maybe he just didn’t like the way you looked in a hoodie but whatever the reason he was a regular until recently. It was very inconvenient because we were going on vacation and we’re forced to look for an alternative at the last minute! Thanks a lot Dogs Will Play. There are plenty of better options for our little one.
Our fur baby has been going here since she was a puppy (she's 5 yrs old now) and she's still excited every time we drop her off. She's here at least 3x a week and she loves all the staff. We're so happy to have Dogs Will Play as her home away from home. Very highly recommended 👌 …
My dog has been going here for a year now and I feel blessed to have found this place! She and I have been through the changes since it changed owners and I can say I am as happy now as I was since I first brought her here. The staff is amazing...They are friendly, kind, caring and love my dog as much as I do. They truly feel like family to me and to my dog. I could never say enough kind words about all of them. Their grooming is amazing as well. My dog frequently gets her teeth brushed and she also loves getting baths here! Its so nice to pick your dog up, have her tired from a day of playing and clean from a bath!
If you care for your puppies put them here! I went on a three day trip and was nervous leaving them here but the people are extremely nice and friendly. My dog has pretty bad anxiety but they treated her well and kept me updated on Instagram. I will bring them again!
We are so glad to have found Namrata. Our dog stayed for 2 weeks. We got multiple pictures of her having a great time. Namrata was super communicative via text. She got daily walks and socialized with other dogs and humans. It was a huge relief to know that my doggie was living the good life while we were gone! I highly recommend happy pets and namrata!
We boarded our two year old rescue pup while we went to Vegas. The beginning was rough for our doggy because she was in a new environment and has anxiety. Namrata worked with her tirelessly, and after the first night, she was doing so much better. Namrata sent us updates, pictures and videos and set our minds at ease. This is the first time we’d used a boarding service and we will be returning whenever we need puppy care. Her rates are reasonable and the dogs have free access to the backyard as well as regular walks. We are very happy customers.
I’ve used Namrata three times now for all-day Doggy Day-Care and she has been wonderful with my fur baby! She’s sent me photos and updates, and the last time I pulled up to her home for drop-off, my pup was whining with excitement to enter!! Thank you Namrata, for all your love and care!
Namrata has taken care of Millie (my 3 year old doodle) for both dog day care and dog boarding. I have been dropping Millie off with her and her family since September 2023. Millie is always excited to see her when I drop her off. Namrata is very responsive and always provides picture updates. Her son and Millie have become best friends. I am so happy that I have found an amazing dog sitter for day care and dog boarding. This lets me go on my trips and into the office without worrying about her. I would definitely recommend Namrata for dog day care and boarding!
We have been very pleased with Happy Pets. She is very organized, and quick to answer by text for bookings, pick up time, etc. She will forward pictures to you during the time you are away from your dog if you request, and our small dog, Lola has always seen very well cared for. Lola can be temperamental, and whiny, and may not be the easiest dog to take care of, but Happy Pets has always done a great job of providing great care for Lola and understanding she is who she is.
Namrata did a great job boarding our 5.5 year old Jindo. She sent pictures and updates every day, making us feel comfortable being away from our pup. We would happily board our dog with Namrata again :)
Happy pets dog boarding is amazing!! They take the best care of my dog - lots of attention and walks and love. I can tell that my dog loves going there and it gives me great peace of mind to know that my dog is so well taken care of when I am out of town. Also , they are great at communicating- lots of pics and updates when I am away and scheduling the pet sitting has always been very easy. I feel lucky to have found them!
Namrata and her family took such great care of my dog Allie for one month. My initial plans for a dog sitter unexpectedly fell through, but on very short notice (just a few days) I was able to find Namrata who thankfully was able to take care of Allie for the whole month. I received photos and video and it was clear that Namrata, her family and her dog Albus were bonding with Allie and that she was very well taken care of. I’m thankful I was able to find Namrata and now feel confident that I have an excellent dog sitter for any travel in the future. I highly recommend her services.
Namrata is simply THE BEST!! If I could give her 10 stars, I would! My fur baby, Remy, has major separation anxiety. I was so worried about leaving him, as we've never left him with anyone! He's a 6 year old Frenchie and requires a lot of attention, exercise, and LOVE!! Thank you so much, Namrata!! Remy made new doggy friends, and was a happy boy during HIS 6 day vacation!! Daily fotos great communication! If you want the best care for your fur babies, look no further!! ❤️❤️❤️🐕👍🐈⬛
Namrata took great care of my pup during his stay there. She sent me pics everyday to keep me posted, and also hand fed my dog when he had low appetite. My dog came back home happily, indicating that he had a great time there! Thank you for your care!
Adrian has done a great job with my Mini Pinscher. In 2020, Simba, who is VERY defensive, went after my neighbor, who is now in her 90's. While, scared and trying to run away, she fell and severely bruised her leg, hip, and arm. Luckily my neighbor did not press charges. I hired Adrian to train and educate my SImba. Through walking, socializing, and correcting his bad manners, SImba actually behaves well enough for me to bring him anywhere. SImba is still defensive and does a great job of guarding my home and I. I am 88 years old and still going strong, but I still like having a little dog that will ward off undesirables and alert us if something is off. We live in Walnut Creek and After the month long training Adrian regularly walks and dog sits Simba at my home when I am unable to bring him along. Simba gets to go on these adventure walks with the Diablo Pups pack over to Paso Nogal, Heather Farms, and places that I am incapable of taking him to, due to my age. I highly recommend DP.
Adrian was truly helpful to me in the past couple of months, when I needed extra help with my dog! I greatly appreciate how flexible, patient, conscientious and reliable he was. Plan to be getting more help from him in the future!!
We have been using this service for several years now and I wouldn’t send my dogs with anyone else. We have 2 high maintenance breeds (a husky and a Pekingese) and Adrian does a fantastic job with them, they absolutely LOVE him! Wether it’s for the day or for 10 days they get well taken care of, played with and exercised, they always come home tired and well behaved! I’m actually a little jealous b/c Adrian can take them off leash and they actually listen to him! Highly recommend!!
Adrian has done a great job with my reactive pit bull Daisy. She was undersocialized and anxious, but Adrian gained her trust and has walked her with other dogs in his pack and even off leash and she has definitely come a long way. She is excited too see him now and would not hesitate leaving her in his care. Adrian is also very accommodating with scheduling . Keep up the great work!
Adrian has been walking my dog for years and he is amazing! They go for hikings and to the nature very often and my dog love it. I trust him so much that everytime I fly out of town, I leave my dog with him. I am not changing him for nobody. He is very committed and really take cares of Changa 🥰 …
Andy was amazing! He took the dogs with him all day and they had the best time! They were exhausted and so happy! We will definitely be using him again!
This young man treated my dogs better than I do!!! Now that's saying a bunch because they are my kids. Always makes time & will even feed them special food made by his own hands if I've forgotten to bring their's. He's done overnight for me several times & trust worthy in my house leaving it better than when I left. Trust me, once you've had this dog whisperer you'll never want another. Hurry he's in HIGH demand as he should be!!! Thank you so much for going beyond my expectations.
Very kind human, 5 stars
East Bay Dog Walkers is a fantastic company to work with. I have been a customer for the last 2 years and have appreciated the ongoing communication with the owner, Mona, and my dog's walker. Scheduling is consistent and easy, prices are good, and I have always felt comfortable leaving my dog in their hands. Highly recommend this company.
Mona and her team of walkers have been wonderful. I tried for two years to get my dog to walk on leash without pulling. After walking with professionals for a few months we we a huge difference in her. Her reactivity to other dogs while on leash has also improved.
I've been using East Bay Dog Walkers for years and have had nothing short of great experiences. All of the walkers have been very polite, professional, and great with my dog. I've been very happy with them and have been recommending them to everyone.
“East Bay Dog Walkers” is the best I’ve used for my two dogs. Mona, the owner, runs a tight ship. Her hiring practices are excellent. She does a great job matching the skills and experience of her dog walkers with the dogs of her clients.
East bay dog walkers was truly instrumental in helping to raise and take care of our little Poodle, starting when she was just 12 weeks old. We could always rely on them to take good care of her and make sure that she was happy, healthy, and having fun. I truly recommend Mona and her crew without any hesitation.
Best in the business. Mona and group have created a special bond with my 7 yr old goldendoodle. Mona is super flexible with last minute plans and she’s been able to find us walkers last minute or even boarding option the one time were in a bind. Would recommend them to anyone who has a dog!
Angel has been walking my dog Kona for over a year and does a fantastic job! She is always on time, my dog is very comfortable with her, and I am happy that I can have my dog walked during the day. East Bay Dog Walkers provides a wonderful service, scheduling on line is very easy and their prices are reasonable. I recommend Angel & EBDW to all pet lovers.
Mona was fantastic! When she first greeted my pups, they instantly loved her! She welcomed them with open arms, and treated the pups as if they are her own. Usually my pups have a lot of energy and I was surprised that she was able to keep up and make them tired after their walk. I highly recommend Mona if anyone is looking for someone who goes above and beyond.
Whenever I need a dog walk or sitting I know I can rely on East Bay Dog Walkers. My dog always comes back happy and tired. I am very grateful to Mona and the other team members who love Coco and take care of her like family.
Overall, I have had a great experience with East Bay Dog Walkers. The online scheduling tool is extremely easy to use and payments are made seamlessly. I have had to schedule last minute dog walks and they have been extremely responsive and accommodating.
Nico and Twilight are crazy about going to Camp Bow Wow- for them it’s like going to Disneyland. The Staff are the best - they give care and fun to my Pups above and beyond, Thanks Camp Bow Wow !
I can tell my dog Willie likes going to Camp Bow Wow. He pulls me in the front door. All the staff members have been super friendly. You can see your dog play via their cameras and also see how much staff cares in giving dogs attention and keeping the facility clean for their canine guests. Georgia the manager took care of our boarding situation. She is a pro who cares about doing things right. I don't travel often, but when I do boarding at Camp Bow Wow will be my first choice. I often go to sporting events since my daughter coaches and I will be getting a play days package for play when I am gone all day. I am a retired person looking for p/t work so when I find a position and if gone all day will take Willie to play. Thank you to all the staff who work so hard. Michael H.
My dog loves his play dates at Camp Bow Wow! He cannot wait to go socialize with all the other dogs. I really like that I can watch him on the camara if I need to check on how he is doing.
Our golden retriever is feeling right at home here whenever he goes for daycare. When he knows we’re going to CBW he starts perking up and his windshield wiper tail starts going at max setting. Glad we found this place.
Your dog will love being here. The staff is very professional and know what they are doing. Your dog will go through an 'interview' so they know how your dog interacts with other dogs. When they let the dogs out for 'play', they bring them out one at a time, so it's not so suddenly overwhelming for them. They bring them in for afternoon nap time, and meal time. The multiple play areas are continuously on live feed, so you can check in with your dog anytime you want from anywhere. They do dog baths and nail trims and have package deals for your to purchase. I only wish they had another location closer to me.
My experiences with Camp Bow Wow have been great! I like the friendly atmosphere and the professionalism of the staff. I like having the opportunity to watch my dog interact with the others. I liked the way the staff handled the dogs (protocols, policies & procedures).
When we drop off our pup, she’s always wiggling with excitement! The staff are wonderful and caring. The prices are reasonable and we always know that our girl is safe and having fun.
Thank you to the Director, Georgia at Camp Bow Wow in Concord Ca. We appreciate you.
A great, safe place to leave your pooch for short or long term. You can watch your fur baby on the video feed to see that they are interacting and ok. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
I love camp bow wow!! The staff really cares about dogs and it really shows. The FOH are very nice and learn the dogs names so they always feel welcomed. The yards are connected to the outside synthetic grass and during hot days there is a pool for the bigger dogs. They always have water and always have a camp counselor in the yard to make sure there is no humping or scuffles. My three dogs go here and even though they aren't the best dogs they take care of them like their own. Try the place out. You won't regret it.
We had an amazing experience with Belly Rubs Pet Care! We will definitely call them anytime we need pet care. Our cat was taken care of perfectly and Janet really takes time to play with your pet. She sent us pictures and gave us updates. It meant so much! She really noticed a lot about his personality and took every little thing we noted about him (and our house) seriously. She is professional and will do anything to provide great care for your pet!
My best friend, Rosie the labradoodle, is a high energy kind of girl, so I make sure she gets plenty of exercise and socialization. Recently I found the doggie daycare at North Main Pet Lodge, which also does boarding. The good news is that Rosie loves her stays there, and I have complete confidence in the owners and staff, who are both friendly and professional. The lodge is not fancy but both the kennels and the play areas are clean and perfect for an active girl like Rosie. Highly recommended.
I have taken my two dogs to the pet lodge for several years now. The staff is wonderful and professional . I have the highest level of trust in them .
What I love most about the pet lodge is how thoughtful Chris, Colleen, and all of their friendly staff are to help create a comfortable stay for all types of doggy personalities. Highly recommend for both boarding and daycare services. Thank you North Main Pet Lodge!
This business used to be the best for your pet services, but since it's changed ownership, I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. We have a huskie, and before the change of ownership, our dog Dee loved loved loved this place, but since the change of ownership, the 1 time we took our dog, when we went to pick her up... she was crying and didn't even come up to us, and ran straight to our car 😞 this was heartbreaking for us. She was depressed for 3 days after we brought her home. Dee is usually a happy go lucky, fun loving dog, so this was disturbing for me. We miss the old owners....
I have been taking my dog Jasper to North Main Pet Lodge for 6 months and I’m extremely pleased with the quality of their services. Chris and Colleen have a lot of experience working with pets and it is evident by the care and attention they give each of their customers. I especially like that there are supervised play times to ensure everyone plays safely. I trust the care of my pet for both daycare and overnight boarding with North Main Pet Lodge!
We love North Main Pet Lodge and have used it for our cat for the last 8 years. The cat facilities are large and the enrichment provided by staff keeps our cat happy. We know he is safe and well looked after which gives us peace of mind. This is all besides the fact that the owners and staff are responsive, friendly and caring :)
Really pleased with North Main Pet Lodge, especially the good care and personal attention they gave our dog during his stay. This is a family owned operation, and they really know what they are doing. Will definitely be back -- this is now our preferred dog sitter! I especially like the upgrade options they offer for overnight stays, including 1 on 1 time with the dog, group play, various walks, and evening treats. We signed up for a couple of those extras, and they noticed which ones were effective for our dog and which ones weren't as effective. They proactively adjusted the play time so that our dog could do what he likes best (which also saved us some money). We also know exactly what to sign up for next time. The kennels are a very good size (4 ft wide by 15 ft deep indoor/outdoor area separate with a wall and doggy door).
We have been kenneling our dogs here for quite a few years. They have always been happy and healthy when we've picked them up. Owners are very nice and personable. They even managed to make my horribly unfriendly toy poodle like them. She hates everyone! They are a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. I highly recommend them. Of note, when one of our dogs passed away from lymphoma in March, they were nice enough to send a condonence card.
Love it! Well taken care of. Great experience. We’ve been using them for almost 4 years. We have a old rescue cat. She needs a lot of extra love. Comes back very happy and adjusted. Owners are very personable and respond quickly. Great prices for the area.
Our 9 year old German Shepherd was recently diagnosed with intestinal cancer and we were afraid to board her. We left her at North Main Pet Lodge for 5 nights and she did fantastic!!! Chris and Colleen make you feel so at ease! We love this place and so does our dog!
As a longtime customer of Apronstrings, I want to take a moment to share with people considering their service about my experiences. From the very first visit I have found their entire team to be incredibly kind, thoughtful and professional. These folks clearly exemplify business with HEART. Each time I have booked their services I have received the same outstanding experience. They have left me detailed notes about their visits and even observations about my pets which has been really helpful. They don't just feed and water your pets but they love on them as well! In a time when great customer service is increasingly rare, you will always find that service with a lot of heart at Apronstrings. I highly recommend them!
Absolutely best professional petsitter I’ve met in years during my time as a pet parent and professional petsitter. 2020 Pet Sitter of the Year for Pet Sitter’s International and a top 5 finalist in 2022. I can’t sing her praises enough—conscientious, reliable and compassionate Certified Professional Petsitter who is absolutely passionate about the service she and her team members provide to clients and the community.
They did a great job of taking care of our pets will definitely use them again
Excellent pet sitting service in the east bay. In-home visits while you are away no boarding necessary.
Excellent pet sitting service Very reliable and great with our pets.
Been taking care of our kitties whenever we go out of town. Would'nt have it any other way.
Rude and unreliable.
