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!
Chris and Julia were our very first sitters and are the most perfect house/pet sitters anyone would ever want!!! Julia sent video/pictures of our fur babies everyday and we noticed early on that our animals were very relaxed and happy!! This made our trip so enjoyable and stress free knowing that our animals were safe and being spoiled and loved the whole time. They even trained our dog to sit while her leash was being attached and was able to pet and hold our cat that is somewhat nervous around strange people he doesn't know. When I got back from the trip, the house was very clean along with Julia/Chris had washed the bed sheets, bath towels, vacuumed, dusted etc., and even washed the pet bedding. They also left some SE Asia treats for us to try which so sweet of them. Definitely the perfect house sitters!!!
Kristi was an absolutely incredible sitter -- I think our favorite one ever! She was easy to communicate with, kind and personable, and took great care of our pets and our house. It was the first time we had left both our dog and our cat with a TH sitter and Kristi went above and beyond. She was very self-sufficient but provided fun updates and pictures and our pets loved her. Highly recommend!
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.
Daniel and Vasylyna were incredible house sitters and we would welcome them back to sit for us again any time they are available! They were fantastic communicators, making sure to work out details far in advance and they sent frequent picture updates of our animals which made us so happy while we were away. When the power went out in the neighborhood while they were here leading to a technology issue with our alarm system, they handled everything well. Upon our return, the house was clean, the garden was thriving and well cared for, and our dog and cat were clearly very loved while we were away - in fact our dog was sooooo sad to see them leave! I had the pleasure of getting to know them a bit before I left, and they are such a kind, adventurous, and great couple. I would highly recommend having Daniel and Vasylyna take care of your house, plants, and animals!
Wow, what a find Justin is! I feel as though I won a lottery. As I was revelling in the communication we were having during his stay, I looked over his profile and realized either that he had updated it during his stay OR I never even read it. I was so impressed with his initial application that described multiple stays taking care of cats in Turkey that I knew he was going to be a great choice. So I'm not sure that I even read his profile or reviews. Turned out...he was more than I could have EVER hoped for. Justin is VERY organized and clear with his communication. Just as--or maybe more--important, he is a poster child for what zeewoi can be: more than just an economical way to get a pet sitter or a place to stay. Justin embraces the barter economy and the opportunity it presents to get to know people. Although we only met the day that I turned the house and my 2 cats over to his care, we had delightful communication throughout his stay. He wanted to be sure he was providing the right care to all living and non-living elements of my home as well as just chat beyond what we'd had an opportunity to cover when we were face to face on the handoff day. Bottom line: I'd have Justin back even if I wasn't going anywhere! I've met a friend. And my neighbors did as well! Oh yes, and my two cats were well looked after, the house was in ship shape, and Justin was able to brief the next sitter in person (I'd had to extend my time away and Justin already had another commitment). To say I felt confident leaving my pets and home in Justin's care is an understatement. Justin is a real adventurer and believer in the power of both human and animal connection. Without a doubt, I would recommend him as a sitter...and a friend! Thank you, Justin for a great example of how to wrestle so much more meaning out of zeewoi.
Summer was a very top-quality pet sitter and house sitter. She not only took excellent care of all four pets (three cats and a dog) but even achieved a very close bond with one of the cats. She went over and above the call of duty with our dog, who developed a serious skin condition while we were gone. We're so grateful that Summer was able to identify there was a problem, took the dog to the vet several times, and ended up having to apply topical medication and give pills and even keep the dog dressed in a t-shirt, which she did flawlessly. She communicated with us frequently, sending photos and updates, and the house was spotless when we returned, even cleaner than when we had left. She did an amazing job, knew how to handle any situation, always had a very upbeat and positive attitude, and we really enjoyed getting to know her right before we left and right after we returned. We would very very highly recommend Summer in all respects!
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
Kimberly was absolutely wonderful, and we couldn't have had a better sitter for our first experience with zeewoi. Marshmallow loved Kimberly instantly and our cats (who can be a little standoffish) opened up right away with her. She asked great questions that helped us tailor our Welcome Guide to make sure we could be good hosts. Thank you, Kimberly!
Tonya was great and filled in after our other sitter had to cancel. She was very self sufficient and navigated acclimating herself to everything since she arrived after we left. She gave thoughtful updates on my cat and I could tell she really enjoyed her, so that means the world to me! She left the place immaculate and we will certainly have Tonya back!
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, $18/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!
Absolutely the best dog sitting experience I have ever had. I truly wish more places were as easy and as quality as Signature Paw Spa. We were very lucky for a last minute puppy sitters Josh and Sheadon that took great care of our little girl. They asked all important questions and were very professional. I can tell our little one was well cared for. I also really love that they give you the option for the pet to be dropped off to you! Thanks so much guys!
So my friends and I rarely get days off together. When we did we decided to go to Monterey. We brought our 2 dogs and unfortunately we cant bring them to Aquarium. Last minute I called Signature Paw Spa and luckily they have availability. I dropped my dogs just 15-20 mins after I called them and we all were able to go to the aquarium. They are really nice people and had kept me updated about my babies from time to time and My babies seemed to have enjoyed their time at Tonya's. I definitely recommend them
It was my first time leaving my 5 month old puppy with a pet sitter, and Signature Pet Spa/Tonya was awesome to put both me and my pup at ease. Tonya managed to work me in even though I called the day before I needed a pet sitter. She sent updates and pictures of my puppy enjoying her day, and my pup came back to me happy and well exercised when I picked her up. I definitely will be using Signature Pet Spa again!
Hands down the best dog experience!!!! I’ve used many dog services while traveling and I have to say ginger loved this place the moment she arrived. The owner came out to greet her and I when we arrived, which is a wonderful added bonus compared to some other place I have been to. The property offers a big grassy area for her to run and play, I was thrilled to see Tanya bonded perfectly from the moment ginger arrived. The pick up process was smooth and efficient since I was rushing to get back out of town. I would recommend this place to everyone with a beloved dog.
We boarded our lab with Signature Paw Spa while on a long cruise. This is a remarkable dog boarding company that provides warmth and care. The owner of Signature Paw Spa is an inspiration and a true leader. Under her guidance, she has cultivated a staff that mirrors her values and goes above and beyond to create a nurturing and loving environment for dogs, and their owners. They took the time to understand my dog's needs, preferences, and quirks. The facilities at Signature Paw Spa are top-notch, with immaculate and spacious accommodations designed to provide comfort and security. What truly sets Signature Paw Spa apart is the personal touch that permeates every interaction. We received updates and photos which provided a sense of reassurance and allowed me to stay connected, even when physically apart. Signature Paw Spa is a true gem among dog boarding facilities. From the heartfelt dedication of the owner to the exceptional care provided by the staff, this establishment exceeds expectations at every turn.
We called to get last minute day care for our dog, Gunner, during the US Open. The owner was so accommodating and made our pup feel right at home. If you are traveling to the area from out of town I would highly recommend this place if you are in need of doggie day care!
Signature Paw Spa is a life saver. My dog sitter canceled last minute on me and I was able to get my dog Charlie in at Signature Paw Spa. They sent me lots of pictures and videos of him playing with all his other little friends. Charlie was in their care for 3 days and he had a fabulous time! Thank you Signature Paw spa for saving my trip!
Tonya was so nice and accommodating - we asked for overnight boarding on the weekend with no notice and she was able to take our dog no problem. We got a few updates during his stay and felt very confident that he was getting great care in a wonderful setting. We would absolutely go to signature paw spa again!
Signature Paw Spa is the absolute best pet sitting service in the area.. I know my dog is in wonderful company when I leave him with Signature Paw Spa.. I love how the owner will take pictures and send them to me throughout his time with them.. He always looks so happy and like he is hanging such a blast.. I would most definitely highly recommend Signature Paw Spa for any pet sitting services you need while in the area.. I love them and can't recommend them enough.. Thank you Signature Paw Spa for always taking wonderful care of my sweet Kirby
i highly recommend SPS. Tonya the owner is VERY VERY organized and was very easy to communicate with. The dog sitting part of her business is at a large lovely home in Carmel. Convenient location for Monterey, Carmel and Big Sur. Tonya coordinated everything and was so nice to be flexible to our travel plans.. Decker was given lots attention and came back to us very happy
Zaida my border collie foster dog loves her visits to play in both the small/medium dogs play area and also with the large dogs. Dogwood Ranch does a great job caring for her, giving meds and keeping them busy and happy! Highly recommend to others.
I have taken my dog Skip here on several occasions for day care. I am extremely satisfied with the results of these visits and can't say enough about how confident I am with giving them the care and responsibility for my dog during that time. I will be taking him there on a regular basis from now on.
Dogwood is an absolute lifesaver! Our high-energy Border Collie/German Shepherd mix has boarded at Dogwood over 10 times, and we couldn't be happier with their care. She can be a bit anxious, but it's clear she feels right at home there. The staff is incredibly loving and attentive, and we always feel completely at ease knowing she’s in such good hands. We especially appreciate the pictures they send us while we’re away – it's so nice to see her happy face!
My three family dogs have been visiting Dogwood Ranch for many years now- on a very regular basis. We utilize the transportation option and they bolt out the front door and into the transporters car every time. They love their visits to "camp Dogwood." Jessica and her amazing team have nursed my dog through a genetic illness and shared in the joys of new puppies. They have trained my dogs excellently and have provided me videos of the training sessions so I know what to work on at home. The staff is so helpful and organized. I often forget to select my grooming and they always follow up before my boys come home and ask if I want grooming. If I call or text, I get a very quick response. They keep all of the kennels and play areas very clean. All dogs have to be up to date on vaccines and thankfully, they require bordetella vaccine every 6 months. My dogs have NEVER come home with any illness or issues. I appreciate that they require a temperament visit for each new client, it makes me feel very secure that my dogs will not be with any aggressive dogs. During my dogs visits, I receive photos so often. On holidays, they take photos of the dogs with a festive background. I have utilized almost every boarding option at one point or another. The selection is big-- extra cuddles, sleeping inside, extra play time, treats, etc. The grooming options are always expanding and my dogs come home clean and smelling so nice each time-- with clean teeth! My dogs come home tired and very happy every time. They spend a couple of days being very lazy after their time at "camp." There is no other boarding facility I would utilize for our family dogs. Ever. I trust Jessica and her team more than anything. I know that they are professional, kind, and absolutely treat my dogs like family.
Highly recommend! A well run pet resort in every way. Highly organized, almost all sizes and breeds accommodated. Your pets' health and well-being are a top priority and not an afterthought.
The facility is very clean and well maintained. I took Gracie for a "temperament check" which is required before you can board your dog. I like that they check out the dogs and place your dog in the group your dog would feel most comfortable in. I look forward to boarding Gracie, it gives me peace of mind that she will be well taken care of.
My boy loves going to Dogwood! There are multiple yards to match dogs of similar age with similar play styles. I love how it is all outdoors, and my boy enjoys it way more than indoor play yards. The staff there is always so nice and let's me know how his day went. They even send pictures and videos during the day! During the holidays, they also dress some of the dogs up to take pictures, it's so cute! Dogwood is definitely the best doggy day care we've been to!
We love the staff and facilities at Dogwood Ranch Pet Resort! Yara has been going to doggie daycare weekly and occasional boarding. She whines and howls when we arrive and can’t wait to get in there and see her buddies. She had a great bath yesterday and looks and smells so much better! The staff is very attentive and the large outdoor areas give the dogs plenty of space to play. Our neighbor recommended the ranch, and we are happy to have found a good and caring doggie daycare and boarding place!
Tons of amazing experiences for day care, good citizenship training & boarding for our labrador over the past 3 years :) We moved away to the Bay Area but keep on driving back for the professional services. HIGHLY recommended.
Our Yorkies had a great time here while we were visiting Monterey. Great facility and staff. They immediately responded to our text and requests. Definitely recommend.
Mecca is as great with humans as she is dogs! She has a welcoming and trusting demeanor and professionalism that lend to her skills of coordinating our changing plans while giving our pit bull the attention and love she deserves while we're away. Mecca's adaptability and skills at taking care of our dog in our home is appreciated and leaves us confident that our dog and home are safe in her hands. Mecca is awesome!
Personable, professional, trustworthy and loves your pets!! We have been using Mecca and her team for over a year and they have never let us down! They always followup after visits with photos and they are so sweet with our dogs. Highly recommended!
Mecca and her crew are absolutely wonderful! I received daily pictures and constant updates. We even had to coordinate an unexpected vet visit while we were gone and Mecca handled it beautifully - I didn’t have to worry about my fur babies for one moment.
Mecca has been taking care of my pups for over 3 years. My boys feel like they are home every time they see her. Whether we are at her house or ours I know they are safe and are in amazing hands! I would recommend her to anyone and everyone looking for someone to take care of their babies.
Mecca is hands down the most amazing pet sitter I have ever come in contact with. She is so helpful and makes sure you feel very comfortable while you're away. Whenever I leave town I know my fur babies are in the best care possible. Thank-you Mecca!!
Mecca has always loved animals. But she doesn't just do pet sitting! If you are going on a short or extended trip, she will spend time with your pets while you're away. She also does dog walking, as well.
Mecca is amazing! My dogs literally go straight to her house when they occasionally escape the yard. They LOVE her and so do I! HIGHLY recommend!
Mecca is the best and really cares for the animals that she sits and walks. I only use it for one service however I plan on using her for more.
Does a great job watching our dogs
Tried to charge $115 a night as if it were a Four Seasons Pet Resort.
My Cavapoo Ollie had his very first hair cut/spa day with Michelle and we were thrilled! Michelle is so gentle, caring and knowledgeable and my pup loves her. I would never take him anywhere else. And she not only does an amazing job, she is efficient and Ollie never has to go in a crate and wait to be groomed for hours. She picks him up and drops him off and he is always so excited to see her so I know he is good hands. I have referred numerous dog owners to her since she not only grooms, but dog walks, and pet sits! Michelle is a pro and we love her!!!!
Michelle is amazing! We have two Australian Shepherd dogs. The older one hated getting groomed at the large facilities, but was so much happier with her! They always look so adorable after her stellar grooming skills! Always on time and great with communication! Love the All Starr experiences ❤️
Michelle has groomed our dog Oso several times and she has always done a FANTASTIC job. She’s great about communicating what she is going to do and why and is enthusiastic to help with other pet needs and recommending affordable and effective products. Apart from Oso coming home smelling clean and feeling so, so soft one of my favorite things about Michelle is her flexibility! Truly, you will not go wrong hiring Michelle!
I have been using Michelle to pet sit my precious mini schnauzer, Pearl, and cat, Peanut, for several years. She is very knowledgeable on animals, and gives them tons of love when I'm out of town. She sends me pictures and updates that let me know they are doing well so I can relax and enjoy my vacation. She also takes Pearl for daycare and gives her lots of walks! Very trustworthy!
I just love Michelle! She is always on time, takes her time with Bug (our 4 year old pit bull) and always is very attentive. Her prices are very reasonable and she always has a friendly smile. ALSO... Shes like the post man... rain, snow, sleet or shine= she comes to rescue!
Michelle is the best! She’s friendly and knowledgeable and has helped me with everything from overnight care, to dog walks, to nail trims and more! She’s competitively priced and always makes time for her clients. I wouldn’t use anybody else for my pets.
Melissa was absolutely amazing with our pup Sage. She was able to take her on such short notice for our wedding. She was very thorough and knew lots about Frenchies which made me feel at ease. It was our first time having Sage be puppy sat and have an overnight stay so I had lots of questions and Melissa was so kind and reassuring with all of them. I just knew Sage would be in good hands and love miss Melissa. She sent me cute pics and videos throughout her stay and was very accommodating with her additional pickups/drop offs for Sage’s part in our wedding. I highly recommend Melissa for over night stays and any other services you’d need for your pups, she’s a kind, sweet, caring, and trustworthy Soul.
I can’t say how much Melissa at Pets by the Sea meant to our family to help watch our dog Deiter. He was a very sweet boy but couldn’t be around other dogs - she made sure to take extra care of him and he acted like we were never gone when we got back from our trip. We know he must have been happy and we couldn’t have been happier. She sent us texts and pictures to show how good he was! We highly recommend Melissa and when we get another dog one day, we will ask her for her services again. Top notch!!
What a great experience!! My husband and I wanted to have a nice dinner for our Anniversary and Pets by the sea took wonderful care of our pug while we did so. I felt relaxed and at ease knowing she was in good hands. We were given an update via photo and text and my Mabel came back to us happy as ever!! I’m so grateful for Pets by the Sea. Thank you for helping make our anniversary trip great.
Pets By The Sea provides a wonderful pet care service with convenient pick up and delivery. Bandit and Raider, our 1 year old West Highland Terriers, are FULL of energy. We were so thankful to find Melissa and Jaden and have used them several times on our trips to Carmel. They are professional, reliable, so friendly ... and they give our boys a GREAT workout! Bandit and Raider are big fans, and so are we!
Melissa was awesome!!! I was coming from out of town and needed a pet sitter while I was at a wedding. When I reached out to her she was very quick to respond and very flexible to my needs. She made me feel super comfortable leaving my fur baby with her. I loved that she sent me updates every few hours. I cannot recommend Melissa enough!!! The experience was flawless!!!
INCREDIBLE SERVICE..MY DOG WANTED TO STAY WITH THEM...I WILL DEFINITELY RECCOMEND AND USE PETS BY RHE SEA AGAIN......MAUI BEACH BOYS...JOHN BROWNE
Our 6 lb. Yorkshire Terrier loved spending the day at Susan’s Bed and Bisquits. We were traveling through the area and needed the afternoon to visit a senior friend and be out and about. I highly recommend Susan’s.
My dog and I love Susan's Bed and Biscuit. Susan takes such good care of my dog, and I trust her fully with my guy. I have been going there for 7 years now and love it.
First time boarding our puppy, I will never go anywhere else! Susan has a great facility, and clearly loves the "guests" in her care. ✓ Clean facility ✓ 4 separate sections for small/large dogs ✓ Responsive communications ✓ Misters and indoor/outdoor access when hot ✓ Daily treats and individual attention ✓ Very reasonable rates ✓ Easy drop off/pick up ✓ Even sent daily video of my pup playing and happy This is the kind of business that makes you want to give them your money!!
Susan did a great job dog sitting our dog for 9 days. She sent updates and introduced new did to current visitors over by one. She has much dog experience and it it shows. Our dog had a great time there.
Susan's bed and biscuit is a wonderful kennel to babysit your dog. Susan is very loving and caring to your dog and even sent me videos of my dog having a great time. I highly reccommend.
Took our dog here when we went to Pismo and wine tasting for the weekend. She was very friendly and sent us picture updates of our dog while she was watching her. I will definitely use this place again
Susan is great and our dog loves it there. Would highly recommend!!
We Love Susan's. Very personal and caring about our dog Roxie
Great lady take care of our dog very well
My dog was treated just like she was at home! Thank you Susan!
We use Janice 2x each week for our loving fur baby. She is a true asset to our community and we trust her with our precious Beagle. Plus he loves going and playing with his friends there. We don't know what we would do without her and her services.
We were in town visiting family from out of state with our two pups who’d never been in the care of anyone else and Janice was absolutely wonderful and extremely accommodating to both of our dogs and to us, she even sent pics of our pups to ensure our peace of mind. Janice was extremely sweet and we wish we had Janice where we leave for pup sitting back home
Found this dog-sitter on google. I was coming into town the day after Christmas and we needed someone to watch our two dogs during dinner so we could dine at a restaurant that didn't accept dogs. Called her and she called back quickly, not long after. We finalized the booking via text. The day before I confirmed via text. We showed up and there was dog stuff all over her car and house so we knew this was a dog person. Janice was so sweet in person and was so sweet with our dogs. She sent us updates and pictures of dogs looking relaxed. Pickup was easy and I told her I’d write this review. Thanks Janice!
Janice was fantastic! She provided excellent service and quickly addressed our needs. She treats all dogs as if they were her own and kept us updated on our dog’s well-being. She made us feel very comfortable and worry-free. I highly recommend her!
13 year old Tony usually stays with my mom when we go on vacation. This year we were on vacation at the same time. Janice the owner of Pet Nanny Paso was the perfect solution. She LOVES dogs!!! Her house is a dream doggie daycare. It is dog friendly and organized. Her expertise and passion for dogs made us feel that Tony was in the perfect place. He had a great visit with no adjustment issues. The dogs at Pet Nanny Paso were all friendly and playful. Janice sent us texts and pictures each day to show us how Tony's vacation was going. He had a blast! We recommend Pet Nanny Paso to anyone.
2nd time having Janice keep our weimaraner Jade. We love her and she's so in tuned to the dogs. She kept her overnight both times. Best pet sitter in paso will keep using her every time we come up.
Janice is a gem. Please book her for your pup. Her place is clean, indoors and out. She knows her doggies personalities and how to manage doggies that may not get along, but she has can handle care of all dog personalities. She is meticulous. You should trust her with your baby. She’s amazing. Lovely person.
We dropped off our Mini Schnauzer while we were at Hearst Castle and Sensorio. Janice is so nice and attentive. She was patient showing us around her large yard set up for dogs, texted photos while we were out, and also let us know that our harness was a size too small which we hadn't noticed. We'll definitely go with the Pet Nanny again next time we are in Paso Robles!
Janice is an exceptional caretaker for dogs. She's very professional and kind hearted. She took take care of my dog on short notice when I was visiting Paso Robles. I l would definitely recommend her if you need someone to take care of or watch your dog.
She was able to take me last minute. She also updated me on how my dog was doing throughout the day. Would definitely recommend.
Dropped my pup off for half a day so my family could go to the Aquarium. It was 2 blocks from the Aquarium and reasonable to keep her there for the day. It was raining out, so they washed her paws when I came to pick her up to get the mud off. She seemed in great spirits when she came out! Would recommend for travelers needing to board the dog!
Gus has the best time at the day care! Definitely well use again when we visit Monterey
My husband, checked our dog who Is a cockapoo into “Casa de Amigos Animal Hotel” on October 20th , 2024, in Monterey California. At or around 4:30PM that evening, my husband and myself arrived at the facility to retrieve our dog at which point the hotel staff informed us that our dog had went missing from the facility. The staff had failed to properly secure their facility and supervise our dog as per the agreement. The police was contacted on behalf of my family and matters were taken into our own hands as the facility informed us that they did not have protocol for this type of incident. I was able to track my dog based off information received from a good Samaritan who located my missing dog and had submitted information to the police department. The staff and entire facility failed to show any sort of sympathy towards this situation and didn't seem to care that our dog was missing. We have not yet received a call from the manager or owner of the business regarding this matter. I am extremely unsatisfied with the service we were provided with. The lack of professionalism that was demonstrated in this facility needs to change immediately.
The staff at Casa de Amigos is always courteous and profession. They always remember my dog and are enthusiastic to see her when we walk in. My dog gets so excited when we pull into the parking lot! I love that they send pictures daily when we board her overnight.They have reasonable pricing and are kind enough to offer a military discount.
Very kind and accommodating staff, even gave my mother a tour to help calm her separation anxiety. Thank you for the great service and care for our dog
My little guy absolutely LOVED going to Casa de Amigos! The staff here are wonderful, and treat your dog like family. They always text me photos, which I appreciate. Your pup is in good hands here. I cannot recommend them enough! Also, their grooming services are AMAZING!
Used the daycare while visiting the aquarium. I had emailed earlier in the week with someone there. But they did not have our reservation when we arrived but everything went fine checking our little guy in they still accepted him. Picked him up 7 hours later and he is pooped and happy. Smooth process and the folks there were very nice. Next time we are in Monterey I would come back and recommend.
Our pup Cooper love this place, staff is very friendly and we love taking him there. Love how they send us pictures of him throughout the day as well! Such a sweet touch
my dogs first time at day care so i was nervous staff was friendly and even sent me pics of her playing made me feel at ease definitely recommend
They are so great and take good care of your pets. We have a 9 month old we've been bringing for daycare for socialization and they've been really great with her and have really made gains with her. Would recommend. We trust them with her when we have to board over night as well.
We have had the opportunity to find local pet sitters in our travels over the past several years. Freya, Happy Dog Carmel, was the absolute best dog sitter we have come across in the five years we have had our dog, Zoe. She shows a genuine interest and possesses a certain spirit or energy with animals. “Zoe” can be a little ‘clingy’ or needy and she looked forward to seeing Freya the next day of our trip. We highly recommend Happy Dog Carmel whenever the need arises. Freya will give your pet the love and attention that they deserve.
I booked a last minute trip to Pebble Beach to see my parents who were in town & didn’t know what to do with my 9 week old mini dachshund! I couldn’t leave her alone for too long just yet, so a quick google search led me to Freya’s business and her hotel sitting offerings. Freya was nothing short of perfect for Olive’s first experience with a dog sitter. Freya came to the hotel I was staying at, was super flexible on timing as we were at dinner, and tired out my girl so much she slept straight through the night for the first time since getting her. She sent photo updates & even shared tips of what she noticed Olive potentially liked or disliked in toys and activities. It was worth its weight in gold to have the peace of mind of Freya with Olive & I’ll definitely give her a call again when I’m back in the area!
We couldn't be happier with the care Freya provided for our pup, Birdie! From the moment we met, it was clear that Freya has a genuine love for animals. Birdie instantly felt comfortable and at home, which is no small feat considering how shy she can be. Freya kept us updated with adorable photos and fun updates, which really put our minds at ease. We came back to a happy, well-exercised pup who clearly had a fantastic time. If you're looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter, Freya is the best choice.
We (and our dog!) had a genuinely VIP+ and completely worry-free experience with Freya and Happy Dog Carmel while visiting Monterrey for the 2023 holiday season. After traveling to the area so many times over the years, my wife and I always returned home a little disappointed that we could never visit the Monterrey aquarium since we always brought our dog with us, knowing how pet-friendly the entire region is. This time around, we had the idea to search for a local service that could board or take our Pomeranian for a day so we could finally visit the aquarium. After literally spending 4+ hours on Google searching for options in Carmel and Monterrey and checking reviews of the top ones, I was still skeptical and concerned since every single one had some recent bad reviews here and there. One that presents itself as a "luxury" option in the area didn't respond to my contact promptly, and when it did, the address provided didn't match its website; it was a house in a random area in Carmel. When I checked Happy Dog Carmel — the only option I found with consistently positive reviews — I wasn't sure if they would take our dog since their website doesn't mention such service; only dog walking, sitting-at-the-hotel, or in-home visits. However, I was happily surprised when I contacted Freya, who promptly confirmed she could take our dog for the day. And what a great day! As part of Freya's services, she picked up and dropped off our dog at our hotel. We had the guarantee our dog would have full attention since she takes one dog at a time, avoiding him being in touch with unknown/unruly/unvaccinated dogs. She also sent several pictures of him throughout the day, which I attached to this review (she is also a great photographer, as you can see!), and took him on a nice trail walk to put his high energy to good use. Our dog spent a whole day with Freya, and my wife and I finally could visit the aquarium completely worry-free, knowing our dog was in good hands with her constant updates. Her punctuality, the fact that she truly and genuinely loves pets, and how she maintained fantastic and responsive communication throughout the process are also worth mentioning. When we return to the Carmel and Monterrey areas, we now finally have someone we can trust and count on again.
We had a great experience with Freya of Happy Dog Carmel!! It was our wedding weekend and she not only took care of our yellow lab during the party and the rehearsal but she also helped us out with the ceremony so Nala could deliver the rings!!! Thanks Freya!!!
We spent a month in Carmel and used Freya numerous times each week. Zipper loved his walks, play time and just hanging out with Freya. Happy Dog Carmel is a professional service, we valued the personal attention our dog received and we felt safe leaving our little man with Freya. She was always on time, sent pictures and kept us up to date on their activities. I would recommend Happy Dog Carmel service to friends and plan on using Freya again.
My husband and I came to Carmel for a little honeymoon trip. We brought our 4 year old Labradoodle Roscoe, but also planned some outings with just the two of us. Freya and Happy Dog Carmel were referred by our hotel and we couldn’t have been happier with her service! She was always prompt, provided transportation to and from the hotel, and even sent photos and an update of Roscoe’s playtime. We look forward to hiring her again when we return to Carmel.
Freya was wonderful with Quincy!! She gave him lots of love and took him on nice long walks. And she kept in touch by text and sent photos. She was very professional and pleasant and we will happily use her services again!
Freya is an absolute gem. Not only a great human, but a total dog whisperer. Our senior dog Presley is 18 and it's hard to leave him, but I never have hesitation if I am leaving him with Freya. Your beloved pet will be in good hands!
My wife and I visited Carmel for a long weekend with our dog Simba. We wanted to have a spa day and also a night out for dinner at a nice restaurant. We were lucky enough to have Freya referenced to us and it was an amazing service! She picked him up both days at the hotel and drop him off as well, he was very excited the second time she came which doesn’t happen a lot with Simba, so we knew he had a good time. Would highly recommend and would use her service again if we visit Carmel.
Robin's Nest pet care is the absolute best! We have had two of our dogs at Robin's Nest over the years. Our ridgeback Gus is super shy and has been terrified of other boarding places, but loves Robin's Nest. He scratches at the door when we arrive to get inside! We have no worries when we leave Gus for extended periods for travel, and he loves daycare there. Robin and her team are top notch and I love the kennel-free comfortable atmosphere. Robin, Kelly and their team treat our Gussy like their own. Cannot say enough good things about them!
We've been taking our dog to Robin's Nest for about five years now. It's his second home. Robin, Kelli and the rest of the staff are great. They know each dog--his or her home circumstances, care needs and spirit. They walk the dogs, provide treats, and play with them during the day. There is a vast yard area, providing room to roam. Overnight, the dogs sleep in a large room on mattresses and dog beds; no kennels or crates. Once we hit the driveway, our dog jumps from the car eager for another day. We depend on Robin and her crew and trust them completely. I can't imagine a dog getting better care anywhere.
Our dog does not tolerate being alone. Robin's Nest has become extended family. He is happy to go. We have left him for days at a time, as well as, daycare. It is a safe and healthy environment with responsible and experienced people. Don't think a better place can be found.
I have been taking my pups to Robin’s Nest since I moved to the area around 4 years ago. When my pup, with crazy separation anxiety, barrels his way into her yard because he can’t wait to see the staff and other dogs, you know that they are being treated right and they are loved. Robin and staff are amazing, caring and are like extended family.
Robyn s Nest was such a blessing for us! It s a completely unique and family-like setting for your dog. No kennels, great yard space, everyone sleeps on their doggie beds in her home right next to her. It s like a doggie slumber party! At the same time Robyn is very professional and takes the responsibility of looking after your loved one very seriously. There are usually quite a few dogs staying with her and she takes the time to meet any newcomers and makes certain they will get along with the group before she accepts them. This made us feel very safe taking our GSP to her for the first time. We knew that every dog had been screened by her first. Our dog Hunter is very active and needs lots of exercise. Robyn and her wonderful assistant Kelli, made sure that he went on bike rides, walks and even trips to the beach everyday. Hunter stayed with her for ten days over the 4th of July week and we soon discovered that he was very afraid of fireworks. We were surprised, as we hunt with him and he is around gun fire. However, the situation was very well handled. Robyn took the time to comfort him and he even scored the place of honor sleeping right in her bed! (Where he was hiding from the fireworks of course.) When it was time for us to come get him, he was very happy to see us but I think he might have liked it if we could have all moved in, so he wouldn’t have to say goodbye to his new friends! I HIGHLY recommend Robyn s Nest to anyone who needs a pet sitter! You will have complete peace of mind while you are away knowing your dog is being loved and having great play time with other dogs. This was a wonderful experience and Hunter can t wait to go back again to play! Thank you Robyn and Kelli!
Thanks so much for you kindness toward our Hero. You are so generous and thoughtful. Hero had a great time at your wonderful place, She left smiling. This was such a kind act after our huge fire, we appreciate you and your staff. Thanks to the firefighters our home was saved and we will soon be on our way back home.
Being going since my dog was a pup. Great people, safe, reliable and the type of overnight boarding I wanted for my dog. No crates or separation. Highly recommend.
They love my dog!!!
