Cynthia was a perfect pet sitter for our little kitty. We knew from her extensive experience with cats that Nala was in good hands. She was extremely responsive via texts when we were away, ensuring us that the 2 of them were having a great time. She went absolutely above and beyond by scrubbing our bath and toilets to remove our mineral deposit rings that we haven't been able to get rid of! She even left the name of the product she used so we can get more in the future. The house was cleaner than when we left. We'll have her back anytime!
This was our first time using zeewoi and we were a little apprehensive, especially as we were going away for almost 5 weeks, but we really didn’t need to be. Mary and Kevin were fantastic from the start. They had excellent communication and put us at ease straight away. They looked after both our cats with lots of care and we came home to two very happy and content kitties. Mary and Kevin struck the balance just right whilst we were away by keeping us informed of how the cats were and sending pictures of what the cats were up to every couple of days. It was so lovely to know that the cats were enjoying themselves and being so well looked after whilst we were away. Mary and Kevin also looked after our house extremely well and we came back to a very clean and tidy home. We would definitely recommend Mary and Kevin to anyone needing a house sitter and would love for them to sit for us again if they were ever back in the area.
Cung was a wonderful cat sitter and housesitter and we would happily invite him back again. He was excellent with our cats and sent plenty of photos, and also left the house impeccably clean. We had to come back a day early and so we got to spend some time with him which we enjoyed as well. 10 out of 10 recommend! 
I am struggling with naming our top adjective to describe Michael and Jeanne. "Conscientious" will likely be it but then again, "personable," "reliable," "organised," and "animal-loving" are top contenders. If you are reading this review and contemplating inviting this couple to watch your pets, then look no further. We have had a number of excellent house sitters but this pair was next level in terms of the love they showed our cats, Maxx and Nala. When we came back, we could our animals already missed them. These cats, who have never slept with anyone other than us, were getting in bed with them each night -- and that meant climbing stairs! The day before our trip, Nala got an ear infection and had to be put on steroids for asthma. Michael and Jeanne did not sign up for that when the sit was booked but they took it in stride. In the last-minute rush, I relayed that Nala needed her oral steroids morning and night. Michael read the RX label, indicating one dose a day, and contacted the vet to clarify. So you can see why "conscientious" is right up there. They saved Nala from an overdose! We were gone three weeks and they sent us just the right amount of pictures and videos. They bought cat toys (I forgot to put ours out!) and actively engaged with them, including 20-minute massages for Maxx. I truly believed them when they said they fell in love with our fur babies. The house was spotless (which was not important to me but truly appreciated) but I smiled when all six water stations in our yard were filled. They took seriously my love for and the needs of the wildlife in our yard. Our plants were all in good condition as well. Sensing they were "next level" when I met them, I predicted they would want to leave a meal for us upon our return. I asked them not to but they found another way to bow out with class. They made a donation to a nonprofit I work with instead. This I learned from the lovely thank you note they left. I hope they will consider Charles and I friends because we certainly feel that way about them now. What special people. If you book them, treat them well because they are going to do that for you for sure.
We literally cannot say enough positive things about Susan and Miranda! They are the best! From start to finish, they did an amazing job communicating with us, giving our 3 (somewhat needy) cats extremely high quality care and tons of attention, and keeping our house clean and plants watered. They took adorable pictures of the cats and sent them to us several times a day, played with them and gave them so much love and affection, and when we got home the house was even cleaner than when we left. We even asked them for some tips on how they were caring for the cats because our cats seemed happier and more relaxed than ever when we returned home to them! This was by far our best cat/house sitter experience to date. We hope Susan and Miranda are available again in the future to sit for us and would invite them back without hesitation.
Catherine was wonderful! She took care of my cat and house while I was out of town and left and Jack the Cat very and calm and the house in perfect shape which I so appreciate. I could return home and attend to other things rather than cleaning house. I would recommend her as a sitter to anyone. She was easy to communicate with, provided updates and pics of Jack, willing to jump in and assist me as I left or returned. She has a sweet and warm personality and enjoys what she does with house sitting. Thank you Catherine!
My partner and I left our cat Mango in Lindsey's care for a month so that we could get married. We were going from FL to ME, so it was a long way from home. We were gone for a month. Picking the right houses sitter was important. We are so glad we picked Lindsey (and she picked us). From before Lindsey got on her plan to fly down, until she was back home again Lindsey was communicative, considerate and positive. We felt like we had a family member staying at our place and because of who she is, Mango and our home's well being was a weight off our mind during the wedding. If the need arises in the future we will definitely be giving her the right of first refusal. Thank you so much Lindsey!
Catherine was a wonderful sitter for our 17 year old cat Zabba. She sent us pictures twice a day and kept us informed about Zabba’s daily activities. We came home to a clean home and would definitely recommend her as a pet/ house sitter. My only concern was that she doesn’t drive and with an older cat, I just prayed that Zabba didn’t need to go to the vet…. And he didn’t 🥰. We will ask her again for sure.
Florence is everything you want in a cat sitter! We have two cats that need a lot of human attention. One takes multiple medications twice a day and they both are used to eating on their own schedule and having people around so it is always very important to us to find a pet sitter that will be spending a lot of time in the apartment and that doesn't mind being very attentive. We were able to meet Florence before our trip and felt 100% confident that she would take great care of our cats. Florence is comfortable giving medication, she sent us photos and updates and left our apartment spotless. We were so happy that we had her come back the following week when we went away again for a short trip! We will definitely contact Florence again whenever we travel and hope that she is available!
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, $21/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!
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 & 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
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!
Had my American bull dog board here for 5 days. Staff was very attend, and Bruce seemed to have had a good time. The facility is clean, easy check in, and check out. They provide toys and blankets for your dog if needed. Play time is included in the price. 2nd time using their service. My husband and i will continue to take Bruce.
We take our pupper here when we go out of town. She is always excited to stay here. They are kind, responsive, and you can tell they love what they do. It's never crowded but always has pups. Highly recommend this company for boarding your pooch.
Mandy and Co. Did a great job of taking care of our dog. They were very responsive and caring. Many thanks to them. We will definitely come back.
Excellent, friendly, and responsive. We felt very comfortable with having our dog stay with them for week
Playing music for the dogs all day long! Lots of space for dogs to take walks.
Absolutely love the owner and this dog boarding facility!
We were lucky enough to find Zenia and Barkhaus just before a trip and the reviews and recommendations don't begin to do her justice. She took care of both dogs and was very detailed in their care and handling all their special requirements. Great communication and frequent pictures helped us enjoy our trip. Definitely will be relying on Zenia in the future.
Great experience. Gray stayed over for the long weekend and took care of my 2 dogs, one of them which requires medication daily multiple times. I received daily updates with videos and pictures. Gray took great care of my dogs and the house as well. Would use again for the next trip !
I am so happy I found these wonderful people! I was nervous leaving my two dogs while I journeyed far from home (they can be a handful), but after the meet and greet with Helen and Z, I instantly felt better. They were kind, communicative, knowledgeable, and loving towards my two large dogs. I received several updates from them during their visits and it was nice to see my dogs happy and comfortable. Their background in vet med/pet care and skills for animal handling is also a huge plus. I will definitely be keeping their number on my fridge for the future and recommend them to anyone who is looking for quality pet sitting! Thanks again!
My daughter found barkhaus pet sitters to watch her dog at our house while we went on a week vacation. I have a stray cat I feed and 5 tortoises. Z , Helen and Alyssa came over to our house for a meet and greet and it couldn’t have gone better. They are very organized and took down lots of notes. They stayed at my house for the entire week, taking care and feeding the cat and tortoises. Also taking wonderful care of my granddoger . We got videos, pictures and updates everyday it was very comforting! They also watered all my plants (which is a lot). I felt very comfortable with them staying at my house and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They have become part of our family and I can’t wait to book our next vacation and barkhaus pet sitters will be my first call to watch my animals and home. Thank you our favorite pet sitters!!
Barkhaus Pet Sitters are amazing! From the meet and greet to 4 over night stays, our family is completely amazed at the level of love an attention given to our 2 dogs. Frequent updates with pictures and videos was a huge plus! Both our dogs have unique needs and Helen handled things perfectly!!! They are very professional, trustworthy, and very capable to take care of any pet needs. Our family will not use any other pet sitters and they have our 100% recommendation!
If you're looking for a pet sitter, look no further! Helen and Z from Barkhaus were amazing and took great care of our fur baby Turbo! My husband and I just moved to the area and were looking for a new pet sitter that we could trust taking care of our cat and coming to our home. Barkhaus Petsitters were the one!!! From our initial conversation through our entire trip, these ladies were so professional, organized and great with communication! They sent us lots of photos and videos and always updated us each visit. They helped refresh water and food, cleaned the litter boxes and even swept the area around the litter box to keep it clean. Our cat also had so much fun during playtime with them with his favorite games…. They even made new ones up for him! So glad we found Barkhaus! If I could give them 10 stars I would. Highly recommend!
Helen and Z are the kindest, most professional, and most knowledgeable pet care workers I have ever met. They have now looked after my two Maltese dogs and my cat. When we initially met, they were organized and thorough, even offering background checks! Each time they visit, they send pictures of my pets and let me know if anything has changed with the animals. They are both trained as vet techs, which is extremely comforting. I am confident they would know even better then I would how to react in an animal health emergency! In fact, when my cat had recent health issues, Helen and Z were the first people I consulted. They are incredibly responsive via text message/phone call, so I always know I can get ahold of them quickly. Finally, their prices are EXCELLENT - they truly offer the BEST care available for the most affordable prices. They view every animal as one of their own, so you will know that your pets are in capable, loving hands without breaking your budget. I cannot recommend them more strongly!!
Helen and Z with Barkhaus are the best!!! At the last minute before our trip, we decided to contact Barkhaus instead of boarding our dogs due to the excessive heat. Z sounded very knowledgeable over the phone and even squeezed in a last minute meet and greet. When she got to our house and interacted with our dogs Rusty and UB, I knew I could trust her with our babies. She was very thorough and professional. Z and Helen treated our dogs as if they were their own. They sent us daily pictures and videos of our happy dogs. They even cared for our bearded dragon. They provided us with wonderful service and gave us peace of mind so we could enjoy our vacation. I completely trust Z and Helen and will be calling them again to care for our pups.
Z and Helen are spectacular!! They treated our cats like they were their own pets. They offered to send videos and photos if we wanted them (we did) and each text made our day brighter. They clearly love animals and you will not be disappointed with this incredible service. And, they do not just show up and get out as soon as possible. They spend time with your pets. I could not recommend Bark Haus highly enough to do.justice to the service the provide. Just fantastic Tony and Deedee Chino CA
Helen is just the best! I reached out to her after having a difficult experience at a very large daycare with our puppy. She was super responsive, extremely helpful and most of all she really cared. I can't say enough about Nathalie, she truly has a heart of gold. I am happy to be new customer and won't be going anywhere else! First class all the way and complete piece of mind now for work or travel.
We started looking for a puppy daycare in the area and found Paws in Doggy Daycare. I was nervous about leaving our puppy with anyone but the reviews were good and when I called they were super informative and kind. So we dropped Kona off …
My puppy loves this place. As soon as we pull to their street she starts barking that she wants to jump off the car. She has been going to Paws on Doggy Daycare for over two years. I leave work knowing that she is good hands with Marcela …
I can’t express how happy my little pup is when we go here every day. He just leaps out of the car to greet Marcela. I get adorable pictures all day long that make me smile and let me know that he’s safe and happy. Given my long hours, it …
