Toby and Chloe were amazing pet sitters. It wasn’t the easiest sit - a nervous dog and 3 cats with various ailments and medication to have, but they took it all in their stride and cared for them so well without any issues. Our nervous dog Zelda warmed to them in just 2 days which is a record for house sitters so far! I also really enjoyed getting to know them over dinner the night before I left, they’re very easygoing and positive people. They also left the house spotless for when I came back. I would love to have them sit for us again. You can rest assured your house and animals are in safe hands with this lovely pair!
Florence and Robert were outstanding sitters. We asked them to arrive a day early as our guests to learn the routine on our farm. In getting to know them we found them to be good hearted, down to earth people with a love of animals and diligent in learning our routines to care for our poultry, cats and dog as well as our garden and orchard. Not a typical or easy sit. We travelled with ease knowing our critters were being well taken care of. Arriving home, the house was very clean and looked well cared for. The animals were healthy as were the garden and orchard. Out pets missed them when they left – our dog stared down the driveway after them until their car was out of sight. It is nice to find sitters we would like to hang out with and we look forward to having them sit for us again.
Anna was an excellent sitter - she took great care to understand all of the intricacies of taking care of the house and cats, asked lots of questions, and arrived on time and ready for the sit. During the trip, she checked in with updates, and upon returning home, left the space tidy and clean. The cats were happy and healthy, and seemed to have had a great time during the sit. Thanks Anna!
Joi did a wonderful job caring for my two cats and two guinea pigs, as well as caring for my home! She is coming back in November for a long sit while I am out of the country and we all can’t wait. Joi had experience with rabbits and jumped right in with guinea pig care. She is so calm around them that they were sitting on her lap day one! She spent time preparing their vegetables and kept their enclosure and room clean, which requires daily effort. She even washed the floor mats in their room so it was fresh when I returned home. She went above and beyond sending me daily photos and videos so I could see that everyone was healthy and happy. It was apparent to me that she spent a lot of time with my pets, which is very important so they don’t become stressed and lonely when I am away. Joi also took excellent care of my two cats. They receive daily wet food with some medication and she ensured that they received it on time. My cats barely noticed when I returned because they got so much attention from Joi. She took excellent care of my front garden flowers and my tomato and herb hydroponic gardens. These take some daily attention and time in the summer, and I returned home to them looking great! Joi is a very caring, clean, and thoughtful sitter and I hope she comes back many more times!
We can not exaggerate the care and love Juliet and Laurent gave to our cat, Piero, during his the last few weeks of life. While we left for our trip thinking he merely had a bladder infection, his symptoms turned for the worse a weeks into their sit and later revealed he had cancer. No one would wish their sitter to need to hospice their cat but Juliet and Laurent showed such compassion for Piero and volunteered to be with him when we made the decision to put him down. It was an emotional time for all of us and we will be forever grateful to our two caring cat and house sitters. We have had many fantastic housesitters through zeewoi but Juliet and Laurent top the list. Their professionalism, constant communication and compassion were exceptional. Should you have the opportunity to have them in your home, do not hesitate to book them, you will have no regrets. We do, however, regret that they had such a short time with Piero and had to experience such a painful event.
If you are looking for someone to take care of your fur babies and your house while you're away, Daniel is your guy! I had discovered zeewoi just a couple of weeks before I was to leave on vacation and I was not only apprehensive if the website was too good to be true, but also under a real time crunch. I reached out to over 100 local sitters and several possibilities fell through. I was confident I would find the right sitter and when Daniel applied for the sit and I started to text and converse with him, I knew I had found the perfect sitter for my two cats! Daniel was upbeat and positive, articulate and personable, warm and caring, and he asked all the right questions about Lilly and Eli (I hadn't had the time to complete my Welcome Guide, yet!?!). I shared that I had an easy cat and problem cat -- Lilly, who is sweet, social and eats dry food, and Eli who is skittish, was periodically pooping outside the kitty litter box and was eating prescription canned food twice a day mixed with a probiotic and stool firmer. I asked if he thought he was up for the job and he happily said he was. Since he flew all the was from Chicago, I thought the least my husband and I could do was pick him up at the airport. When he arrived, he pulled out his notebook. He patiently walked with me as I reviewed kitty care, showed him around the house, and where he would be sleeping. He immediately picked up Lilly who was excited about meeting her new friend and Eli bugged out and down the stairs to the basement (his favorite hiding place!). We got Daniel connected to the internet, set him up at our dining room table and headed off to airport, leaving our house and kitties in the best of hands. Daniel wanted to make sure I felt comfortable and assured while we were away. He made sure to text with me every other day (he had asked my preference earlier), sent photos of Lilly being her cute self while Eli hid during the day although he gave me assurances that he was eating his food and using the litter box (there were a few accidents, but Daniel never complained about these additional duties). When we returned from our vacation, the house was also spotless and well cared for and Daniel had even washed the sheets for me! It is with utter happiness and complete confidence that I recommend Daniel as a fantastic Sitter. He is trustworthy, responsible, caring, and competent, and you can rest assured that both your house and sweet pets will be watched over and treated with TLC -- and will truly be in the best of hands while you are away!
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!
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!
Rick and Sally are marvelous cat sitters and we would gladly have them back anytime. We highly recommend them to any and all pet owners. They arrived when they said they would and were ready to go when we returned, making sure our cats were present before departing. Our home was left spotless, undoubtedly better than we left it for them. We can't urge you enough to engage them if you can!
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, 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!
We had the BEST experience with LA Pet Sitters! Thank you so much to Brooke and Julia for taking the most incredible care of our two high maintenance kitties. Julia is the best cat sitter we have ever had. Our cats loved her and I could tell how much she loved them and cared for them as if they were her own babies. They require special care including medication and being separated while we are away and everything was handled with such ease. From communication to following instructions and leaving our place so clean, the entire experience was amazing. We had such piece of mind knowing our kitties were so well taken care of and are so grateful to have found our new favorite pet sitter! ❤️
Our cat sitter, Paw, was great. She really made us feel comfortable and safe. Everything was easy and our pets were happy!
We had a great experience with LA pet sitting! Our pet sitter was Emily and she took great care of our two cats while we were out of town for the week. She sent us updates after each visit and it was great to know she was there keeping them company while we were gone. Communication and coordination was also super easy. We're planning to go out of town again soon and we'll definitely use this service again.
Thanks to Brooke and Dottie for clear, prompt communication during booking and great service while my husband and I were away. We came home to find our two cats (9 and 19 years) healthy and engaged. The mail was beautifully organized and easy to find, plants in great shape. I loved the daily updates. Even before we left town, my mind was at ease, but Dottie's cheerful communication with photos/videos made stress impossible. Already looking forward to our next vacation. We'll call on LA Pet Sitting again!
We had a wonderful experience with LA Pet Sitting. It was the first time we had ever left our cat for more than a night, so we were a bit nervous about the trip we were taking. Luckily for us everyone at LPS were so professional and understanding. They took care of our cat perfectly, and gave us daily updates with pictures, so that we could always know our little guy was safe and sound in their hands. I also love that it's a local business instead of an app. It gave me extra comfort knowing that this business has been in the area for a decade+, serving the community. I couldn't recommend it more. Brooke and Paulette, were fantastic.
My husband and I are quote OCD about our pet care. We basically left a booklet with detailed instructions to care for our four fur babies. These instructions were emailed to our sitter directly so she can review and ask questions before our time away. We couldn't be happier with the services Julianne provided for our pets. I was truly happy with her services and my four cats seemed happy too! I loved seeing pictures of my cats looking so happy and playful. Two of my fur babies have high anxiety and one is mildly feral, but she gave them their own space and allowed them to warm up to her on their own terms. Our oldest cat, 18, has separation anxiety and doesn't like being alone, so I really appreciated the extra attention and care she gave to him. He is also on a prescription diet but loves to sneak up on my other cats' food bowl. She was very vigilent and assured he stuck to his own bowl to prevent advancement with his kidney disease. Definitely would recommend! 🖤 Thank you, Brooke for identifying Julianne for us!
I engaged LA Pet Sitting shortly after to moving to LA with my 3 cats and my dog. My work had unexpected travel and I was able to communicate via the web portal and get an intake visit pretty quickly. I was impressed with their system and the thoroughness of their information collection. An in person visit to meet the pets and go over feeding and medications was very well done. Alexia was attentive and great giving meds and following specialized feeding instructions. One of my cats has a bowel disease and caring for her is not easy. The updates were reassuring while I was away and in my opinion this could not have gone better. I would absolutely recommend them.
Wonderful! I've used them a bunch of times. Totally flexible and highly communicative. They send the cutest pictures of our fur babes so we are comfortable while we are out and about.
Sinead was great! She cleaned up a couple of messes the kitties made, brought in packages, and wrote thorough reports on how each cat was doing every day. It gave us peace of mind while we traveled over the holidays. Getting to meet her a couple days in advance and show her around was nice too. Would definitely recommend LA Pet Sitting and Sinead!
I have been using LA Pet Sitting for years to take care of my three cats. All of the sitters I have used have been wonderful - reliable, personable, and caring towards my pets. They take time to sit with my cats and play with them, as well as to write detailed notes on their activities. I know my cats appreciate the extra attention, and I am relieved to be able to go on vacation and not worry about their welfare. I will continue to use LAPS, and I highly recommend their company to other pet owners, as their prices are reasonable and their staff is professional and dependable.
Petagree is fantastic! I have two rabbits and a cat and am often anxious leaving them -- rabbits have very specific needs and their health can be fickle, so it's hard to find a caretaker who's knowledgeable. Petagree was wonderful in keeping all of the pets happy and healthy in their routines. They were very communicative and incredibly flexible when I needed to extend my trip. I trust them completely and feel so relieved knowing I can count on them for future travel.
In the past, we’ve taken our cats to pet “hotels” and other pet sitting locations when we’ve had to leave town. Petagree Petsitting far surpasses those options: Our cats have been calmer and happier because they got to stay home - and be cared for by someone who really loves them. In medical emergencies, Dina has taken them for medical care and kept us updated on their status. Also, our plants and groundcover get watered and cared for. She’s absolutely the best!
Outstanding service from people that love animals and that have been in business over 40yrs. I wouldn't trust my pets with anyone else. Thnk you
Great Service - i use Dina whenever i go out of town on business.
Extremely professional, friendly, and trustworthy. I've used their services several times for my regular cat and my diabetic cat. She can do it all. Alissa will go above and beyond. During a visit, my diabetic cat was having unexpected problems, and after observing the cat more and discussing it, we decided to take the cat to the vet. Alissa took her there and explained the situation to the hospital. Everything was fine when I got back.
I highly recommend Alissa. We hired her to stay at our home with our senior dog for a week while we were out of town. Our 80lbs dog can be quirky and difficult to convince to go go for a walk, but Alissa got her out and about several times a day with ease. She sent us daily updates, including pictures of our kids pet fish. She made sure our dog felt safe and loved while we were away and took excellent care of of our home in the process. She is trustworthy and reliable and I will absolutely be hiring her again.
This was our dogs first time being boarded. We have a 3 year old, 100lb Shepard mix and 20 month old, 65lb husky/boxer. Alissa came to our house for a meet and greet before hand to get to know us and our dogs. Alissa has a calm, soothing demeanor; our dogs took to her within minutes. During their overnight boarding, we were provided with pictures and updates. We are extremely happy with Alissa’s boarding services and look forward to future boarding and housesitting services.
Alissa did an amazing job in looking after my chihuahua on a short notice! She tries to learn about your pet down to every detail in order to properly care for them and I loved that. Definitely would have her as my go to pet babysitter.
Alissa is the only person we trust to watch our three pets when we’re away! She is so loving with them and handles each of their needs with care. One of our dogs is a senior and our cat has litter box issues so the needs are… specific. She is highly communicative and sends us multiple photos and updates every day. She even waters our plants if they need it! Alissa has removed so much stress from our lives and we can’t recommend her enough! I’ve attached a photo Alissa sent of our pets when she was house sitting for us over the holidays. They’re literally obsessed with her 😂🥹❤️
Alissa is amazing! My family was invited to a spontaneous last minute trip for 4th of July, literally the morning of the trip. Unfortunately, the place we were going did not allow dogs, and we have 2 of them. You can imagine how flustered I was, making calls all morning to find someone who can watch our pups. Right when I was going to give up, I came across Alissa’s Pet Services. She was very nice, patient, communicated well, made sure my pups were well taken care of, and sent us pictures daily. Our pups looked very happy. And I appreciate that Alissa went above and beyond when she hugged my big dog all night because he’s scared of fireworks. Thank you so much Alissa, looking forward to using your services again!
We had an excellent experience boarding our dog with Jocelyn. It had been several years since we boarded our dog with someone outside our family, but Alissa and Jocelyn met with us in advance and put us at ease. We got daily updates while we were away. It was very easy to coordinate times and dates. We will definitely use this service again!
The best! My fur babies absolutely love her. She’s responsible, followed instructions, and loves animals. Alissa is our preferred walker and sitter. You cannot go wrong with her!! Highly recommend!!
For those of you looking for a pet/house sitter, I'd like to give my highest and strongest recommendation to Alissa from Alissa Pet Services. We have 3 male dogs, (23, 28, and 165 lbs) and she cared for all of them for nearly two weeks in our home. She is kind, professional, and put in a lot of effort to maintain their routine and schedule. She didn't miss a beat and handled all 3 flawlessly - even when some of the dogs were stubborn. Most importantly, she updated us several times a day with pics / videos and was able to problem solve her way out of curve balls the dogs tried to throw. For example, when the dogs didn't eat because they were anxious we were gone, she demonstrated extraordinary patience and made sure they didn't miss a meal. She kept our house exactly as we left it and when she returned our key, the dogs happily greeted her (they usually bark at anyone who enters our home). Over the years, we have worked with so many people when it comes to our dogs and Alissa certainly exceeded the bar. Alissa is amazing and I genuinely believe I have found the holy grail of dog sitters.
We have used Alissa’s pet services multiple times and are very happy with what she offers. Our 3 cats love her. Professional, friendly, dedicated and knowledgeable. I highly recommend her!
Dogs and owners are happy with the care. The walking service is dependable and tailored to that dog.
This review is loooong overdue. We've been customers of Sitters4Paws for over 6 years now and they're just fantastic!! The sitters care for our fur babies so lovingly - we always travel with such peace of mind knowing our boys are looked after so well. They have an app now which makes communication even easier - they send emails/messages and many photos with every visit. The sitters follow any instructions very well - we used to have an elderly cat that needed medications and they took care of it no problems! Making reservations for visits in their app is so easy and they approve them very quickly or reach out if there are any issues or questions. They get very busy around major holidays but always make sure to give us a heads up before things get full - above and beyond! On our first visit, a manager came out to the house and met our pets and set us up with a very solid lock box for the house key that the sitters use to enter and exit. They check the mail and will water plants if needed too. They always give our boys so much love and treats and make sure they get some play time in every visit. They fill their food bowls, top off the water fountain, scoop the litter, and even sweep up! Great service! Their prices have gone up quite a bit since we first signed up - but what hasn't nowadays? Lol - their prices are comparable to other sitting companies locally and it’s worth it for the peace of mind we get - huge ty to all our sitters and to Sitters4Paws for all your love and care!
I was recommended this company by a coworker who travels a lot for work. The idea of giving strangers access to my babies and personal belongings made me nervous at first, but then I had my initial interview. I was blown away by how thorough the questions were, and it really put me at ease. Not to mention, the price completely beat any boarding available nearby. Not only did my babies get yo stay at home where they are comfortable with the toys, litter and food they are used to, but they were played with and given love. I got several photos every day with reports on them. They even administered meds to my kittens when needed. I’m sold. I will always use them.
Sitter4Paws is the best. We feel ultra-comfortable with them watching our pets while we're away. They go above and beyond with pics, updates & cleanups. Highly highly recommend :)
For over 6 years, Sitter4Paws has taken care of our kitties when we are away. They came highly recommended by a friend, and their excellent service and the convenience and reliability are second to none. The sitters closely follow our kitties’ routine with a serious attention to detail. We had an elderly cat who was on multiple medications and Sitter4Paws were easily able to accommodate us and give her a high quality of care. They now feed and take care of our 2 young cats with the same enthusiasm and high quality. We are big worriers and it gives us such peace of mind to know that our beloved kitties will be safe and well taken care of when we are away. It’s also so nice to get a recap after each visit and photos from the sitter, and it’s also so nice that they collect the mail and packages when they visit. Thank you to the entire team for your amazing work!
We've been using Sitter4Paws (and recommending them to friends) for well over 12 years and they've always been fantastic. Our cats have very particular diet/medication requirements (which have changed over the years), and they have always been dutiful, thorough, friendly, and professional in ensuring they are taken care of. They always share photos from their visit, and their customer support team is highly responsive and courteous. Even when one of our apartment buildings was being VERY difficult, they patiently worked with us to ensure that our pets got the care that they needed. There is no substitute for the peace of mind that comes from knowing your pets are being well taken care of while you're away. With Sitter4Paws, I never have any doubt. Can't recommend them highly enough!
There was a month where my partner was out of town and I was working long hours. With two fur babies, I was overwhelmed and knew I needed help. Thank goodness for Sitter4Paws!! They rescued us many times when we were in a bind and needed support with our dogs. First off, communication is great. Many pet sitting companies we reached out to either never got back to us and/or replied back to us 2-3 weeks later. I sincerely appreciate their strong communication skills. You have your initial Zoom consultation with them, fill out an intake form (this is where you add your lockbox #, their feeding times, etc.). Once you start requesting their services, they get back to you promptly when they've received your request and when it's officially booked. All pet sitters have been reliable and respectful of our home and dogs. There's never been a no-show and they follow instructions that you leave them to a T. My partner and I always look forward to the updates after the pet sitting is done :) There's lots of pictures and a detailed summary of how the pets are doing! It's definitely reassuring and gives us confidence that we will be loyal to Sitter4Paws for many years to come. Highly recommended!
I've used Sitters4Paws for a few years now, as pet/cat carers who visit our home every day we're out of town. S4P employees are always responsive via the app/email/their site, and it's very easy to book visits online as well. After the initial visit and consultation wherein an animal carer visited our home and interviewed us and our pets, multiple various carers have come by to tend to our 2 cats. We've never had any bad issues, no worries, our cats consistently looked after, fed, clean and safe. We return to healthy cats who miss us a lot, no trauma evident! Our home also somehow feels more secure since we know someone will swing by and keep an eye on things. No theft either (I personally encourage everyone to secure their valuables anyway, but I trust this company with keys and access to my home even if we haven't met them face-to-face). We recommend this service to anyone looking for in-home pet care. Visits start at 30 minutes and are up to 90 minutes, you can schedule multiple visits per day if you need. Our cats are shy and only need 1 visit per day. The pricing is very fair and relatively affordable. We're grateful for the hands-on help and daily photos when we're away.
We had a wonderful time with Sitter4paws taking care of our dear cat. They followed our instructions carefully, making sure our pet got the care she needed while we were away. We liked how professional and reliable they were. Thank you, Sitter4Paws, for the great service, and we'll definitely use your services again soon!
I've been using Sitter4Paws for a few years and they're incredible. They like to know your pet's routine thoroughly before they provide service. They take true care of your pet(s) and provide a detailed email of everything they did during the visit with pictures and all. Can't say enough good things. They go above and beyond to provide care!!
Sitter4Paws is a lifesaver! I missed a flight and needed to return 4 days later than planned. Stressful - but I knew my fur-babies were in great hands. The sitters have gone above and beyond in making sure everyone was happy and taken care of. My babies greet the sitters warmly & fondly with every visit. I love the photos and updates during the visits.
We love Fetch! The dog sitters are wonderful, caring, and trustworthy. Tom (owner) is so responsive and helpful. I’m so glad we found this service for both the midday walks and for overnight care for our pug when we are out of town. We highly recommend!
We have used Fetch- San Gabriel Valley for multiple trips over the past year. They have given two of our cats medication as well as providing excellent kitty over all care. Tom and Daniel are great. They even checked our 6 foster kittens and mom for a day while we went Disneyland. Highly recommend.
Tom and his Fetch team are wonderful. Daniel is an excellent caretaker. My cats are well cared-for by him and they are happy to see him. :). I have been using Fetch for about two or three years and have had a 100% perfect experience. I recommend Fetch highly.
Tom is the nicest and easy going owner but also very responsible and professional. MarieClaire who walks our dogs is a very competent and diligent walker. Our dogs get excited each time she comes to pick them up and go off happily. Would recommend them in a heartbeat!
Fetch Pet Care and in particular Marieclaire has taken wonderful care of my two cats while I've been away several times now. They are easy to work with, take great care of my animals, provide daily pictures and updates and all at good prices.
I recommend Fetch for your pet sitting needs. I've been using them for over 5 years and every sitter we've had has been responsive and caring. They will come and feed and sit with your pets. They also do a few other minor housekeeping actions like getting your mail. Highly recommended.
Happy to have found Fetch and Tom. I feel very comfortable leaving my dogs in his care. Tom is friendly, has great communication, and understands my dogs personalities.
Reliable and trustworthy service.
Kong loves his time at Glendale Pet Resort - he gets to play as much as he wants!! He always looks great (but maybe a bit tired 😉) when I pick him up from his time here. …
epi and his team are the very best. i love that they don't have just a big dog and small dog area like most doggy daycare facilities. they separate dogs into different packs every day based on temperament and rotate them between quiet, dark rooms for them to rest and the outdoor play area. my pup comes home tired and happy, but not completely exhausted at the end of the day.
We’ve been with Glendale Pet Resort for over 11 years. Our Champ loves coming here for play days and boarding. Epi and the staff are professional and friendly. Highly recommended.
Our dog loves this place and we are grateful to have it as an option to get some of her energy out while we work from home. It's affordable and reliable and the staff is super friendly. We highly recommend it.
I have been using this place for 9 years. My Riley Blue loves going there. As soon as we get close to the place, he gets so excited. Epi, the owner & staff are so great with all the dogs. ♥️
My Grand-puppy is staying here a few days over the weekend. I hope it’s good, they care and he’s happy! We need a good place we can trust ❤️🩹🐶 …
The only place I trust with my dog. They separate dogs by energy level and rotate them around as needed instead of just small and big dogs. The owner Epi is very knowledgeable and a nice guy. They also offer overnight boarding.
The place is great! My dog approximately has been going to the resort for about 5 years or more. The staff are awesome the owner Epi and his wife are great! The owner also trains dogs. Highly recommended. 😁
I'm really at a loss for how this place has this many good reviews. Everyone I talked to seemed high and could barely hold a conversation, let alone communicate with each other, and then they would act as if I was the one who was unprepared. My s/o picked my dog up the next day and had the same experience. They handed over my dog on a leash and he asked if there was anything else, they said no despite me bringing in half a bag of dog food. When I went to pick up the food the next day, (besides taking forever because nobody could figure out that simple task), they handed me back a bag with 10ish kibbles left. I don't know the experience my dog had since they don't have the dogs visible at the door, but he was sick for the following week. I'm not sure if they just share all the brand's of food among the dogs staying, or if they seriously gave my dog that much food in one night.
I love the owner Epi, he really knows dogs and he is reasonable and respectful. We're feel so blessed to know our dogs are being cared for just as we would.
Happy Heart Pet Care and TEAM!!!! Is there any other substitute? I don’t think so!!! When it comes to my Pixie girl, I have a very difficult time trusting. Happy Heart put all of my concerns to ease. They are always accommodating and able to watch my little girl, even at the last minute. I highly recommend giving them a try, you won’t be disappointed. Thank you Anna Marie
I can’t even begin to describe how wonderful Anna Marie is with our pup, Lucy. She’s extremely knowledgeable about how to care for dogs, flexible with my timings, and just an overall pleasure to talk to. We recently picked Lucy up from a 16-day stay, and not once over that period was I worried about how she was doing. Anna Marie went above and beyond - she sent frequent photos and videos, brushed her out daily, worked on commands, and even took it into her own hands to figure out what food Lucy needed when she was being a picky eater. To tell you that I was such at ease knowing she was in Anna Marie’s care is an understatement. I am so grateful to have found her and Happy Heart Pet Care. Don’t think twice about booking your pet here!
I am an EXTREMELY over protective Dog Mom to my 5 yo French Bull Dog Brodie. I have been searching for a dog sitter and trainer for him as long as I can remember, but I’ve never been satisfied leaving my fur baby until I found Happy Heart Pet Care. I will say I love to spoil my boy and only the best will do, however, this also meant he got away with a lot more behavioral wise then he should. So I needed to find someone knowledgeable that I could trust with my boy… I haven’t been able to find someone reliable that not only had the experience to help train Brodie, but that I felt comfortable trusting to care for him. Anna Marie checks all the boxes. She not only has helped with Brodie’s training, but I trust her to care for him as if he was her own. She is truly our dog nanny! Brodie loves Anna Marie and he has become such a better behaved boy since he was introduced to her training and care. Having a person who not only will train your dog, but love them the way you would is priceless. He respects her and she has a great relationship with my boy teaching him with obedience training and socialization. All the dogs she cares for are very well behaved so he has her pack to learn from as well. She also is a great resource for a number of suggestions and advice with regard to your pets health and well being. She is always the first person I call or text to ask any questions with regard to his health or needs, which is invaluable. She is one of the most kind and understanding people I’ve met in LA and I have no doubt I would ever find someone who cares or loves Brodie more as a trainer or dog nanny than her. Needless to say I highly recommend Happy Heart Pet Care. Your life will be easier with your dog if you use her, trust me!
So grateful to have found Happy Heart Pet Care--they are the best! I have an adopted pound dog who is super skittish (and bark-y) with new people and for the past 4+ years, has not been comfortable with other dogs. She LOVES Anna-Marie and Matthew and, after just three visits, she is already changing in wonderful ways--less skittish with new people and excited to play with other dogs, which I never thought possible. Anna-Marie is incredibly kind and accommodating, thoughtful about introducing new dogs to their environment, and thoughtful of skittish human owners, sending them photos of their happy dogs. I contacted them because of the consistently amazing Yelp reviews (a rare thing), without realizing they're on the west side of LA. My dog and I are way on the east side, but still travel there because knowing my pup is safe and happy with people she loves and who genuinely care is worth everything.
Matthew and Anna Marie are both so enthusiastic and knowledgeable about dogs. Their love for our 9week old Darcy is so heartwarming! I certainly had my concern leaving a young puppy with other people for a week, but Matthew and Anna Marie stayed very communicative. They also helped me on getting to know/adjust for a puppy. I could see Darcy was so well cared for through photos/detailed text updates. Truly appreciate their existence 💙
Anna-Marie took care of my 1 year old shih tzu puppy, Tater Tot, for almost 3 weeks while we were away. She was wonderful as she was very flexible with drop off/pick up times, and gave Tater Tot lots of love but also trained him! Tater is much more calm and well behaved now! He was brushed everyday, made many new dog friends, and enjoyed his walks. Anna-Marie updated us with cute photos and videos of him and we can’t wait to have him back with her again!
Where do I start? So thankful for Matt and Anna Maria. Matt has been a life saver with behavior modification with my sweet girl Cocoa. Cocoa is a hyper-vigilant rescue pit, with a few social challenges. Matt not only was able to with patience and professionalism, earn her trust, and help with her behaviors, he was also able to teach me, ways to manage when she and I are in the wild. He is very hands on, and teaches key fundamentals when handling a dog, and working with the world around them. I literally on multiple occasions have been able to handle situations without panic and stress due to Matt’s training. Cocoa also has been managing her stress better as well. You are equipped with the knowledge literally after just one session, the most rewarding thing is seeing the transformation in Cocoa. She has come such a long way. Happy Heart Pet Care has been a blessing. I highly recommend. 10 out of 10!
I highly recommend this company not just as a dog trainer but for all your pet care needs. They do training, dog sitting, walking, and even cat sitting. They are highly experienced and had my aggressive rescue dog showing improvement after just a few sessions! I’ve also used their services when traveling. They send updates on the pup and make sure he is very well taken care of. Highly recommend them!!
We found Anna Marie on Yelp and trusted the good reviews she had- it was the first time we left our puppy with someone she didn't know and in another city. We loved Anna the first moment we met her, she was super kind, and you could tell she had a lot of knowledge and experience with dogs. We saw our puppy liked her from the very beginning and felt safe with her- we left her one full day and, when we picked her up, she was super happy and looked like Anna took great care of her. I highly recommend her; she is amazing!
Matthew & Anna Marie are fantastic! They started working with my bullmastiff puppy December 1, 2023 and my puppy has grown into such a wonderful, friendly, obedient dog with the kindness & training from Happy Heart Pet Care. I trust them 100% and my pup loves the time he gets to spend with them. Many thanks to them for all the support & help. Sam
We love this place! I can barely get my rescue to leave the house (she sees the lease and crates herself) but when I manage to coax her out, after a not so fun car ride, she freaks out when she sees where she's going. Their day school program is perfect for her as she needs both mental and physical stimulation. Thank you OHD!
My dog, Emmie, has been going to OHD for daycare for about 9 months now. I have enrolled her in the day school training program for probably the last 3 months. I have seen a huge improvement in Emmie since she has started at OHD (and especially since starting day school) and know that she'll only continue to get better manners over time. She is always excited to get inside and I know she's in the best care in their hands. Thanks OHD!
The Team at OHD is absolutely the best!! They create the cutest videos and have a variety of services that we utilize every time we leave town. Our 13 yr old Rottie loves his interactions with all the dogs, his open play time and cuddles with the OHD Team. The love, attention and care they show our Atticus is why he 'bids me a fond and fast farewell' whenever he is lucky enough to spend time with this exceptional crew. There are tons of locations in So Cal that offer 'dog boarding and day care' but they simply pale in comparison. We commute over an hour to get to OHD and wouldn't go anywhere else!
I took my shy dog to OHD in 2022 bc they were known to be good with timid dogs. However, he didn't pass the initial test because "he didn't sit," which I found perplexing. He does know the command, but it's understandable he wouldn’t obey a stranger in a new place. It felt like they didn’t give him time to warm up, instead labeling him as needing extra training. They suggested a different program for him that didn’t start until later in the year, and I was advised to work on his training in the meantime. I chose another daycare instead, explaining his initial nervousness before our first meeting. They reassured me it was normal, and he's done great there since. The OHD facility seemed nice, and I believe they genuinely care about the dogs, but they may not be ideal for those needing extra time to adjust. I understand wanting the right fit to ensure safety, but in my case, their approach felt a bit too stringent. Feels a bit weird to review them since he never attended, but wanted to post this in case it’s helpful to others whose dogs have a similar temperament. 4 stars bc they seemed nice and I don’t want to mess with their rating.
I am beyond grateful to have came across OHD! My 2 year old pug is very anxious and nervous around other dogs off leash and reactive on leash. When I took her to OHD during her evaluation I was recommended a transition program for Nala and I had never heard of that at any other daycare. She did 8 sessions and on her own felt more confident with other doggies around her. Didn't think she would come around as I had tried many things. I would receive a report card after every session of her progress and pictures once a week. OHD has been a blessing and now when I drop her off for regular daycare I feel at ease she is in great hands. She recently had an overnight and the next morning I received an update on how she did and I was so glad she did great. I highly recommend giving OHD family a try
Been a customer since it opened with my first pup and OHD always went above and beyond in her care, especially in her senior years. We now bring our new pups here for boarding and daycare. There's nowhere or noone else in LA I'd trust their care and safety with. Just the best!
My shy girl Nala is starting to gain confidence and my wild puppy Max helps her out in day school. I love this place so much for my fur babies. They have the best time!!
My cattle dog mix, Marcus LaBarcus, loves spending time here. Seeing him get excited as I drop him off makes me feel so much better whenever I have to travel for work. He comes back happy and tired, proving once and for all that it is in fact possible to wear out an ACD. Cannot recco this spot enough.
Oh hello dog provides exceptional service. During the time they care for and love our dog, they have always been professional and responsible. The staff show great interest in engaging and playing with the dogs, always ensuring they have a safe and enjoyable time. OHD provides a clean and comfortable environment, offering all the attention and love that dogs need. Additionally, the staff regularly provide us with updates on our dog's well-being and activities, allowing us to work with peace of mind. I highly recommend this daycare and consider it a trustworthy place to leave fur baby.
* THE REVIEWS ARE REAL* About a month ago I decided to bring my pup to Oh Hello! She’s been home being spoiled for the last year so she wasn’t the most socialized puppy! The staff here took time to help her become more social and now she wants to play with every dog she encounters. I recently need to go out of town for business and needing boarding (they called it a sleepover 😂😂) not only did they keep me updated with everything going on the even catered to her diva eating habits (she’s very spoiled and won’t eat if it’s not what she wants). I know she loves Oh Hello because once we turn on the street to get there she jumps up and starts doing that cute dog wiggle the dogs do when they are happy! P.S. Most of the staff here drive Subarus and we all know Subaru owners love dogs!
Tiger is an absolute lifesaver! Since moving to Los Angeles this year, we’ve been on the hunt for reliable pet care for our high energy dog, Poppy. Tiger’s active small-group adventures are perfect for her, and we're so grateful to have found her. Poppy has stayed with Tiger several times for stays ranging from 3 to up to 10 days, and we always have complete peace of mind knowing she’s in loving hands. Tiger’s updates and photos make us feel like Poppy’s on a better vacation than us most of the time! She absolutely loves her off-leash adventures and exploring new trails and creeks. Tiger is incredibly accommodating and has been a pleasure to work with. We wholeheartedly recommend her services to any pet owner looking for exceptional care.
Tiger is amazing. We found our sweet pup off the street and he is very shy and has a tendency to run away when we leave him with other people. Tiger listened attentively to his history and has been amazing with him, accomidating all his quirks. He loves walking with Tiger’s pack! She gives the dogs amazing adventures every day. Tiger always makes sure to give our shy guy a little extra attention. She’s obviously a very experienced dog owner. She’s also been very flexible with our schedules. She is kind, responsible, and knowledgeable. We feel very lucky to have her around.
I have relied on tiger for all of my dog boarding needs and the occasional dog adventures for the last two years. Tiger is very reliable and really great with the dogs. I love that my dog gets social time with other dogs, a ton of exercise and always comes home happy and tired. Tiger is easy to schedule with, and provides pick up and drop off, making her service people friendly too.
There is no more wonderful image than Tiger's van full of happy dogs pulling up to your house. And then my dogs see it and lose their minds with excitement in anticipation for another fun hiking adventure. They always come back tired and happy. Tiger is awesome and love your dogs like her own. I would highly recommend!
I cannot say enough good things about Tiger. I know my Rhoda is in the best possible hands from the moment she jumps into the adventure van, until the time she returns home exhausted, happy and calm. I have been using Pet Care by Tiger for 5 years for everything from dog boarding to dog walking to dog hiking. My job is very demanding and requires very long hours. Many times I wouldn’t have known what to do without the love and kindness of Tiger and her attention to my baby girl Rhoda. Rhoda’s favorite is dog hiking when she gets to be a dog, run off leash and socializing with other dogs on the trails and dog beaches. Rhoda is beyond content, and I get to love her guilt free knowing she’s had an amazing time with Tiger.
We have used Tiger to care for our dog for over 3 years and she is amazing. She takes the dogs on long hikes in the mountains every day and our high energy dog loves it! Tiger loves Scout like her own and Scout can't wait to get into the van with Tiger whenever she picks her up. We highly recommend Pet Care by Tiger.
Tiger is THE BEST! I needed coverage for a five-night stay for an elderly/needy pet. My dog was totally cared for and entertained, too -- and I was updated with photos throughout his stay. I feel so lucky to have found such a safe and fun place for my dog to stay. Thank you, Tiger : )
Tiger was a lifesaver when it came to taking care of our home and two cats. While on vacation we used to go with the huge, nationally known, home/pet care company to take care of things, but a couple of slip-ups gave us pause and made us look elsewhere this time around. Pet Care by Tiger have all the bases covered. They made sure the food and water bowls stayed full, cleaned the litter box, checked the mail, and made sure the home was secure while we were gone. We have a smart home, so I was consistently checking remotely to make sure everything was ok the first couple of days while out of town, but after seeing the thoroughness of Tiger, I quit checking after seeing that she had things under control. The quality of service was fantastic, Tiger is always cordial and personable, and to top it off, I got to support a local business. If you need to be able to enjoy your vacation or need to travel for whatever reason, I strongly recommend Pet Care By Tiger.
Tiger has been nothing short of wonderful to our timid Covid dog. Tiger spent months gaining her trust and showing our dog how to behave and have fun in a pack. Tiger is so loving and clearly understands animal behavior. We can’t thank her or recommend her enough.
Tiger is the best pet sitter. Our dog comes back to us happy, healthy and tired. If you want top notch pet care, go with Pet Care by Tiger.
The Hounds Club is great and I couldn't recommend it enough! The staff is very friendly, professional, and genuinely love your dogs. I feel very safe leaving my dog with them. They always have someone watching the dogs and playing with them at all times. They take your dog's enjoyment and safety very seriously. Give them a call and check them out. You won't be disappointed.
A dog trainer I worked with recommended Hounds Club to me as a good place to help meet the needs of my puppy’s endless energy. I like that they assess all dogs who come through first to make sure they know how to best care for them. My puppy loves it there, is always excited to go and always tired and happy coming home. I feel really at ease and safe leaving her at Hounds Club for daycare or boarding. It’s a great relief to trust that my dog is in thoughtful and caring hands. Below is my pup getting picked up.
The staff at Hounds club was excellent with my pup! It was his first time at a groomers and they took extra care to ensure that he was comfortable with the whole experience. Upon picking him up, he was full of energy, ready to play and not scared at all. Elyana was great with his first puppy grooming and gave us great information and recommendations for my pup. Ben was very friendly and informative about the services offered. Great time here overall and will definitely be back!
I've been coming here for over a year now. When we get there, my dog rushes to the interior door that leads to the dogs, or greets anyone in the lobby. She loves this place. As do I. For Halloween this year, they had a costume contest. My pup did not win.
Our dog Baby Girl just had her first daycare at Hounds Club and we couldn’t be happier. The location is fantastic - great parking, easy to get to, spacious and I love the windows inside where you can see the daycare area. We had tried another company prior and we weren’t thrilled with the experience and are so relieved to have been recommended Hounds Club, the difference was night and day. They were thorough with our dogs temperament test and the fact Ben got down on the ground to meet our dog and interact with her just showed how much they care. During her test how they brought out a dog one by one to hang with our dog was just another attention to care I loved to see. We had wanted to book a boarding the next day but he explained that with her slight nervousness it’d be best to wait and that dogs have to have a couple hours of daycare first before boarding, he was in tune with our dog’s best interests and it was certain things like that that were such green flags, it showed how much they care and pay attention to your dog and really want what’s best for them. We did daycare the next day rather than boarding and Baby Girl had such a fantastic time, I love that there are cameras to watch on the website. She came home so happy and tired. The other place we tried she smelled really bad when we picked her up. Overall I’m just very impressed by their whole operation, it’s all set up perfectly and the level of care is above and beyond. I have total peace of mind leaving our dog in their care
It was my dog’s first visit, and he loved it! He has been to previous day cares in the past, and he was always anxious when leaving. I could tell he felt extremely at ease after a day at The Hounds Club! Can’t wait to bring him back :) the staff was also extremely helpful and receptive. Thank you!!
We have been very pleased with Hounds Club. The staff is very caring and we are delighted how welcoming they are when we drop off our fur baby Jax. It's nice to know that he is in great hands when we utilize daycare twice a week.
The team at Hounds Club took great care of our pup for his first visit to the groomers. Elyana took time talking to us and getting to know Bowser before the session. Made sure we knew all our options and gave her advice. Will definitely visit again.
Alma, my 3 year old female Pit was delighted to be there, she's looking forward to another fun experience in a few days! They cover all the bases and make sure the dogs are in a caring and wonderful environment!
We just started our dog, Indy at the Hounds Club and we are so happy we found this place. She is a high energy dog who needs socialization and play when we have long work days. We have felt welcomed since the first moment we walked into the building.
