Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

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!
Sabre is a sweet, honest person who stepped up at the very last moment (after the prior sitter flaked out) to watch our dog and cat for 17 days. When there were a couple minor accidents, she informed us of them right away. One involved a burnt pan (easy to do if you’re not familiar with an induction stovetop) which she offered to replace. Sabre also washed the towels and sheets, and made up the bed before we got home. The yard was pooper scooped and litter box was clean. Pets seemed well-cared for. When she had to leave town for several hours one day, she made sure to arrange for our neighbor take care of the pets. Additionally, I appreciated how she didn’t assume that it would be ok to bring her cat. When we found out she was going to keep her cat in a kennel during her stay here, we told her she could bring him which worked out fine. Overall, I would confidently recommend Sabre to watch your pets and house.
Ruoyi was the perfect sitter for our cat Toni! We would highly recommend her to any pet owner, and hope she can sit for us again in the future. Ruoyi was very thorough - she made sure there was full alignment on all the specifics of her pet duties, and she asked thoughtful questions regarding details we forgot to include in our guide. She always provided us timely updates at the agreed cadence, and gave us a ton of photos. From the photos, it's clear she got in a lot of play time with Toni, which we really appreciated! :) We were able to enjoy our entire vacation stress-free knowing Toni was in such good hands. Ruoyi left our apartment completely clean and offered to wash linens.
Paige, David, and family were WONDERFUL sitters for my crew! They were so pleasant and personable, and the pets warmed up to them very quickly. Even my rescue cat who tends to stray away from men loved David. I received regular updates and communication (before and during the sit). I truly did not have any concerns while I was away knowing that everyone had such great care and attention given to them. (I know the dogs had a good time because when I came home there was no commotion over my return.) I was away on NYE and Paige had no issues keeping an eye on one of the dogs who has anxiety surrounding loud noises. The family cleaned up after themselves and may have left the house cleaner than when I left! Truly such a great family who I would welcome back any time!
Karen was able to step in a sit for me on short notice after another sitter canceled. She was very thorough and communicative and I felt I had left my apartment and cats in good hands with her. I came home to a clean apartment and happy cats. I definitely recommend Karen as a sitter.
Heidi was an outstanding cat sitter for my Luna! She was very communicable via calls or texts. She followed all my guidelines for feeding and care of Luna. Luna was very content when I arrived home thanks to Heidi! My home was immaculate when I arrived and she did some snow shoveling. She even pulled a large broken tree branch off my roof following a windstorm. I hope Heidi is available for my next trip because she is awesome. Jim
Karen was an extraordinary house and pet sitter who I hope to invite back again soon. You would be extremely fortunate to have her take care of your pets and home. From the very beginning she radiated calmness, knowledge, caring and curiosity. We had a great initial conversation where Karen answered questions I didn't even know I should be asking, and asked excellent questions so she could be prepared and understand the special needs for both my cat and home. She flew into my city the day before I was leaving and stayed at a nearby hostel so that we could meet in person and do a walk through of my home. They say pets have an intuitive nature about people, and I knew Karen would be a winner when my normally very shy/nervous cat came right up and let her pet him. Karen sent wonderful pictures and updates while I was gone and asked questions when she wasn't sure about something. When I returned home everything was spotless and my cat was content. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better house sitter experience. Thank you Karen!
Chris was a fantastic cat sitter for our elderly and high maintenance kitty. Chris was the perfect combination of responsible and on top of her medication needs while also being calm and relaxed about her picky eating habits and the need to monitor her food and medication consumption. He was prompt, easy to get a hold of, responsible, and overall, a great sitter. I would definitely recommend him and most certainly hope to have him stay with her again.
Kristine was wonderful again as our local sitter from just down the street. The boys take to her like she is their best friend whenever she comes to sit with them. She sent us photos of them playing, relaxing, drinking water and eating so we knew they were well taken care of. The house and the cats were in excellent shape and excellent hands while we were away. It is wonderful that she enjoys the house and the cats so much and tells us so. Kristine comes with our highest recommendation! Thank you Kristine!
Steven was a great sitter for our black lab Souris and cat Pinot. They were well looked after and really liked Steven. Our house was in good order when we got back and Steven was kind enough to give us a lift to and from the airport. He was very flexible, arriving day early so we could show him around.
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!
My husky, Azula, has been coming to Better K9 for around 3 years. I cannot stress enough how much she has loved this place. She starts to recognize the route when I’m about to drop her off and immediately starts crying with impatience. Not only has she made friends with the dogs, but with the staff as well. They have shown, on multiple occasions, that this is not just their job. They love these dogs. They are amazing and thoughtful, we’ve received Christmas cards/treats and overall, friendly service. On her last day, the staff came out to say bye to her 😭 I have included pictures they took of Azula to show how much fun and caring this place is!
Better K9 has been wonderful for our dogs. They love going there and get great care. We appreciate how they keep us informed and make sure our dogs are doing well. We have had a fabulous experience with Jack Reacher, the trainer. He is incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and patient. Our dog has become much better trained and more reliable. We are excited about continuing to learn from Jack and helping our big dog be at his best.
I recommend this Doggie daycare, staff are always welcoming, staff greet you with kindness. I feel very comfortable leaving Jax.
My frenchie stayed for 5 nights and had a great time. When I picked him up he immediately wanted to go back inside which was a great indication that he was happy while there! He came home exhausted and slept for hours. Will definitely use again
My dog is a new boy! I adopted him at about 1 from a City shelter, he had never left the backyard prior to being surrendered to the City. He was very overreactive to everything, no understanding of a collar and leash. What I loved the most is that all breeds are allowed to mingle and ay as part of pack time. We are 7 months out since he completed his 21day training stay, he continues to be as good as the day he came home! Wonderful job😀
Very caring and attentive staff. Excellent facility. Brought my Aussie pups for an evaluation today and they will be going back for doggy day care and agility training. Got a report card and felt like a proud kindergarten parent!
The staff is welcoming and open, making sure your pup(s) feel welcomed. They do a trial run to ensure your pet is well behaved and fits in with the other pups. I really appreciated this because then I knew my dogs were with other pups that were also vetted. The facility is well equipped with indoor and outdoor activities and is very clean. Security is of utmost importance as well. We have 2 dogs and they boarded them together at night which made us feel more comfortable.
Our 3 year old foxhound loved her time at Better K9! She was at the Corona location for 3 weeks to learn obedience and was also boarded. The staff were quick to reply if we had questions and also provided updates and photos throughout her time there. They even called to inform us she wasn't mastering a few commands and asked if they could keep her a few extra days to ensure she learned them at no extra charge! Jack did an amazing job teaching our girl basic commands and instilling obedience into her. She looked happy in every photo we received and came home well mannered. I highly recommend Better K9 for boarding or training! Jack is a great, thoughtful trainer and the staff are incredibly sweet.
Great staff, they offer my pup playtime, grooming, feeding some training as well. It's a great place for my baby boy
The staff at Better K9 have taken care of Wylie at overnight camp at both of the facilities since he was 2 years old . He loves going there. When I first took him to other overnight facilities, he would look over his shoulder so sadly at me as I dropped him off. With the Better K9 staff, he walks right in and never looks back, his tailing wagging a mile a minute. Now that he is older, the great care they give him, including his medications, is a great comfort to me. He is always happy and more energized when I pick him up than when I dropped him off. He thrives on the attention the staff gives him and the chance to "just hang out" with other older dogs. Audrey and Veronica and their staff are great.
We left our 7 months old lab with Michelle for a week last June. Bailey’s trainer had recommended Barktails to us because we were in need of boarding in a pinch. The experience was awesome. Bailey was very comfortable with Michelle from the start and had a blast during her stay. Michelle consistently kept us up to date with pictures and videos. She was even willing to spend time teaching Bailey how to swim. Though Bailey wasn’t ready just yet Michelle was sweet enough to send her home with a gift. Bailey used that pink swim vest to learn how to swim at home the following week. And since then we can’t keep her out of the pool. Next time we need to board Bailey we will definitely make the call to Barktails. They go above and beyond. An we absolutely know Bailey will be in a safe home environment.
Barktails was an amazing experience for my senior dog, Tanner. Michelle watched my dog for a week in her home while my family and I went on vacation. This was the first time I had no worries leaving my dog. We got daily updates and pictures. Tanner was so happy there and loved everyone at Barktails. They treat all the dogs as if they were their own. I will definitely be using Barktails anytime we go on a trip! Don”t hesitate to use Barktails for your furry family member!
Bark tails watched our two fur babies for us during our move. It was a huge weight off our shoulders knowing our pups were being so well cared for and loved on. Our S’more is a bit prickly with people but they were patient with him allowing him to get comfortable at his pace. Barktails will be watching our boys whenever we are in need.
I'm so happy that I found Barktails! I truly feel when I leave my pups with Barktails that they are being taken care of the way that I would, providing love, attention, care and of course, a lot of play time! Whether at my home or at their location, I know I can be away and not worry about how my kiddos are doing. Frequent updates with pictures is so great! Also, 2 of my pups are on medication, and I trust that they will get their meds as needed. I highly recommend Barktails!
Michelle is kind and compassionate! She truly cares for your pet while they are in her care. She sends daily messages and pictures that are always so reassuring! She goes out of her way to make you and your pet comfortable… and most importantly that the pets are safe! We will absolutely be using Barktails again!
Michelle at Barktails is wonderful! My (90 pound pup) can be tentative around other dogs. Michelle was very patient with her and took the time to truly help her become comfortable! She will even send messages and video updates so that I can see how she is doing. Now Rey runs right up to the front door ready to play for the day! Thank you Michelle and Barktails! We look forward to our next time with you! 🐾💜
Our dogs had a fantastic time at Michelle’s—they didn’t even want to come home after 10 days! As pet parents, we felt a level of peace of mind that we never found at other boarding places. Michelle and her husband provide exceptional care for our fur babies, sending updates throughout the day with pictures and videos. Our pug required some extra care/needs, and Michelle handled everything perfectly. Just a heads-up: your pet might come back a little sad or even lovesick—ours did! Yogi developed the biggest crush on Joe. Despite the distance, this will definitely be our go-to place from now on.
If you’re looking for a place that would take great care of your fur baby like their own, look no further. I’ve booked with michelle several times now and can say that she always does great with my baby girl coco. Michelle is knowledgeable, reliable and really sweet. I’m given picture/video updates of how’s coco’s doing which is always appreciated. I can tell coco always has a good time and is well take care of. Thank you again Michelle!
Barktails provided amazing care for all of my pets. They definitely went above and beyond, by sending me pics and updates on all my babies. I could tell they were all happy and enjoying their time with Michelle. It’s always hard leaving them while I’m out of town, but knowing they will be in good hands with Barktails makes it easier. I highly recommend them and will definitely be using their services in the future.
Barktails is the ONLY petsitter I will trust with my dogs! My husband and I were able to go out of town together for the first time in forever because I had 1000% percent confidence Michelle can handle our two quirky kids with some medical needs. She also loves and treats your dogs like they are her own. We all had a vacation. 🐾🥰 …
Absolutely love this location, was a t a few other local dog hotels and day camps and this one exceeded my expectations. They have cameras in the facility so you can watch your pets playing and interacting, you also have a view of their room. Will definitely recommend this clean, staff friendly location to everyone in the area.
A Wow Experience at Smart Parke Dog Boarding! We were absolutely thrilled with our first interaction with the staff at Smart Parke. Everyone was incredibly friendly, helpful, and extremely professional. Our initial assessment for our pups, Diesel and Biscuit, went wonderfully. They had a fantastic time, and we were reassured by the camera feature that lets us stay connected even when we're physically apart. Thanks to this positive experience, we felt immediately at ease and comfortable enough to sign up for daycare. We've even booked our first getaway in November without our pups, confident that they are in excellent hands. Thank you, Smart Parke, for providing such a pleasant and reassuring experience. Sincerely, Keith and Julie Frazier-Mathews
Dropped my Husky Nymeria off today for her eval and she did so good! I loved that they have cameras so I could check up on her. She loved the outdoor water pad and misters and running around making new friends. The facility is super clean and the staff was so friendly. Can’t wait to take her back for a regular day of day camp!
What a great experience!! Our furbaby stayed 7 days and participated in all they had to offer. The best part of the Smart Parke was being able to watch Buddy interact or hangout with the assistant and others cozy friends!! We were also able to watch him in his suite. Along with the webcam, we received a daily report card on his eating and socializing. This is honestly the best dog lodging experience for the entire family!! I highly recommend this location in Brea!
This place is really impressing me. They are top notch professional while caring for your pup in a sweet way! I have always used dog sitters at my house but thought my puppy needed more stimulation and play. This was the perfect spot for my pup
My 10 month puppy had a good experience for 3 1/2 days. We received video update to see him socializing with the other dogs. He was bathed before departure with nails trimmed as well.
I appreciate the great customer service and pet care. The team is thoughtful, understanding, and willing to answer any question. Having webcam access helped me feel comfortable. I loved seeing my fur babies while on a week-long vacation. Daily report cards were always timely. I’d love to see the report cards evolve and include even more info like temperament, more tailored videos, and maybe even pictures during cuddle time too. My two small pups were very comfortable and safe— they even stayed together which meant a lot to us. When I arrived for pick up, my pup spotted a member of the animal care team and ran up to her first. That makes me happy! The reception area is big and roomy. All facilities are clean. 10/10!
It is the BEST facility I've ever boarded with! The staff is so polite and very responsive! I love the options they offer. The level of individual attention they provide is impressive, and I love the daily report cards! My babies came home clean and happy!! Currently, I have no desire to board elsewhere. I'm SOLD!!
Our pup did so great in his trial that we had him stay for the weekend. It was nice to be able to watch him on the cameras and get his daily report card. The staff is so kind and loving. Facility is clean and well maintained. We will definitely be back!
Sending my dog Yuki here for boarding was great! I really like how they evaluate your dog before allowing them to stay, how they have cameras to watch your dog, and how clean the facilities are. The staff was very helpful and responsive. Although he is much happier at home, I know he is in safe hands when I send him here. I wish the camera in the private room was angled more downwards so I could see him better (I wanted to see if he had water in his room or not). Will definitely be coming back!
I had an excellent experience with Candace's customer service! She went above and beyond to ensure all my needs were met, and her professionalism and attention to detail were outstanding. She was not only friendly and approachable but also very knowledgeable, providing clear answers to all my questions. Candace truly made the process seamless, and I felt valued as a customer throughout the entire interaction. I highly recommend her for anyone seeking top-notch service!, I want to thank the manager for hiring her ,keep her at all cost
I just wanted to take a moment to recognize Candace for the outstanding work she does. She has such a positive, welcoming attitude and treats everyone with kindness and respect. It’s clear she genuinely cares about her work and the people she interacts with, always going above and beyond to make sure everyone feels valued. Candace's professionalism and warmth make every visit a pleasure, and she truly deserves to be acknowledged for the incredible impact she has on everyone she works with. Her dedication and attitude make her stand out in the best way possible—she’s an absolute gem!
Have never had an unpleasant experience at Pet Patrol! I’ve boarded my 13 yr old Beagle here probably 10-15x over the last several years…staff is always friendly, helpful, provides a flexible schedule and there are fun options to add-on to your pets stay (cuddle time, one on one play time, treat time, spa treatment, etc.)! Dogs have options of suites w/ various amenities, play areas aren’t outdated, and from what I can tell they’re more hands-on than places I’ve previously gone. Fair pricing, willing to refund as necessary, and they send you updates/pics! Highly recommend!
Took our puppy here to meet and play with other dogs. He loves it and all the employees too. He's made lots of friends. They take good care of him. And the prices are excellent.
My dogs love getting groomed here. Rachel & Sarah are great, they take good care of my babies and always send them home looking so beautiful 😍 …
I brought my dog for his first boarding experience and when I picked him up he looked so happy. I great sign that he enjoyed his time there. My dog will definitely be going back. They played with him, provided pictures of him playing and feed him the meal I took for him.
So far we've only tried the grooming service. And is great and so quick. Will highly recommend and will come back. My dog's new spa, for sure
Booked my dog for a wash and haircut. In all honestly probably one of the worst cut he has ever gotten. I clearly stated that I wanted a low trim on his behind as well but it looked untouched, to me it is a no no based on how much I paid. I do a better job at home. I was also upset to have been charged an extra fee. I was told when I asked that he would be ready around 12pm and I would receive a text. Around 12pm means around 12pm to me. Have in mind that I had an event that was ending at 12pm, I thought it was perfect, so I did not make any arrangement. I received a text at 11am and they told me that I had until 12pm to pick him up otherwise they were closed from 12pm to 1pm. I don’t think I remember seeing that they closed for lunch on the door. I should have been made aware of that when the lady told be that he would be ready around 12pm. I knew I was going to be there by 12:15pm to get him. I explained it to the lady that called me once I got there but she had no problem still charging me. I was at their door waiting around that time. I even told her that it should have been a courtesy for her to wave that fee since I was in a way mislead and I was a new customer. Her face said it all, if I could read her mind I am sure I would have been more upset. Of course this is a turn off for a first time customer, and since I hated the dog’s cut I certainly will not be coming back.
Our Furbaby is always so happy, content and relaxed after her Grooming. We just updated her vaccines, can't wait to set up her temperament testing.....so she can go to daycare to play.
I've been a FAITHFUL customer for almost ten years. Micah starts wagging his tail the moment we turn onto the block that it's located. He automatically thinks fun, fun, fun. I automatically think my fur son will be safe and happy while I'm away..
We had an awesome experience with Pawtroopers, they were responsive and kept us well informed on our super energetic frenchie mix. I would definitely recommend if you’re looking for someone to take care and treat your fur baby as their own. The love and care they gave my Milo was amazing! Thank you Pawtroopers!!!!
Paw Troopers is absolutely phenomenal! I rescued a pup from being PTS from a shelter in Riverside and needed boarding for her as we waited to transport her to Oregon. Immediately, NO KENNEL BOARDING caught my eye as the poor girl had been through so much, I wanted the absolute best situation for her to feel safe and comfortable. When I say ABOVE AND BEYOND, I mean way more than that. They went above and beyond to not only be Daphne's first safe spot but to also ensure my piece of mind throughout the 12 days she was there with updates on her. I can truly feel they cared for her and it definitely showed when it was time for her to leave. The cost was very affordable although I would have paid more for the service she got! They gave me tips for her on training and have training that I will be signing up for virtually. She was shipped off with the cutest little backpack full of goodies for her. A STUFFED STORM TROOPER and training tools!! We are forever grateful for them, as well as Daphne, and I know she'll forever remember them. The love and care they gave her will stay with her forever. We can't thank you enough. Friends for life.
I am writing to express our utmost satisfaction with the services provided by your team. We recently picked up our black lab, Arlo, and were pleasantly surprised by the transformation in his behavior. The positive changes were evident, and we couldn’t be happier.Throughout Arlo’s stay, your team kept us well-informed, providing updates and valuable tips for maintaining his training at home. Arlo himself seemed to adore the experience at PawTroopers, and we eagerly anticipate using your services again for boarding and training. Your trustworthiness and commitment to excellence have left a lasting impression on us. Choosing PawTroopers was undoubtedly the best decision we’ve made, and we now consider you part of our extended family. Thank you for your exceptional service!
We recently boarded Gunther with Pawtroopers and it was a great experience!!!. Everything was extremely well organized and communication was essential for our comfort. The team answered all of our questions thoroughly and effectively. They gave us a ton of advice and brought to our attention that Gunther was being underfed. We look forward to continuing the relationship and hope to schedule obedience training soon. Thanks!!!! Pawtroopers
Paw Troopers a Top Dog place to bring your pet. Such love, excellent care and communication making owners and pets feel safe and comfortable! Nikki was recovering from surgery and we needed someone to watch because of work schedule. They stepped up and she was comfortable, happy and well taken care of, needed to pick up for bandage change, then return and Nikki was happy to go back and see them. They work with you and sent pictures as well!
If you're hesitant or debating and that's why you're reading this review don't worry and just go for it! These guys will not let you down, they CARE. They are hands down the best. After 2 months of research, we are so glad and thankful we found and went with Paw Troopers. Diane and Eric were so good with Axel that when it came time to go home he did not want to go... which tells us he loves them, in turns equates to being treated well. We did the one month board and train, one in home private to follow up and 10 day boarding (never expires) package. We have nothing but good things to say about this experience. The process from A to Z was outstanding, he came home Very well-mannered and well-behaved. As a mother of 3 children who is home schooled (kids are transitioning stages of an infant to a toddler, toddler to elementary kinder, to a kid into a teenager)... There was no way we could have gotten the amount of work that they did with our rescue belgain malinoise/german shepard mix pup done on our own. We actually did not think that we would be able to board and train him anywhere for a month because it's so expensive (especially if it's with a good trainer- BUT these guys r better). They made this possible because they are linked up with affirm financing, we were able to afford the training and even with the finance charges the pricing is still less than what we would pay someone else for just a month board and train (that's without a follow up private in home sess and no additional board days while on vacation). They extended grace and showed us kindness when we messed up on the pick up situation. We gave them a checklist and they made sure our concerns were checked off before allowing him to return home. Everytime he goes to them he comes home with something extra i.e. an accessory, goody bag etc. Overall we live in Orange County and they did not disappoint and are well worth the drive. So so so much value with Paw Troopers, we are gonna stick a with them for life. FYI I do not typically leave reviews unless it's extremely necessary... the level of service and dedication here is extremely on point. P.S. picture attached is to show that they are wonderful communicators as well.... they'd send us updates with photos and video (without us asking).
Pawtroopers was able to take good care of my bearded dragon over the weekend. They reassured me with some pictures of him in his temporary enclosure and also made sure to let him out every now and then to enjoy time out of the enclosure. They enjoyed his company and I’m sure he enjoyed theirs. Thank you so much! Will definitely book again.
My pup Loki just had daycare with Paw Troopers for the first time. It’s always nerve wracking leaving your pup somewhere for the first time but they were wonderful. Kept me updated and sent pics. He was a happy (as you can see from the photos they took of him) and tired boy when he got home. Thank you so much Paw Troopers for taking care of my boy so well and not having him in a kennel all day! I will be leaving another review after I board him.
Let’s just say Gunther is super excited to stay at his home away from home lol. Always a great experience. Very professional and welcoming. Been here multiple times and needless to say I would never go anywhere else. Thank you!!!
If you’re looking for any boarding and training this is your place!! Diane and Eric are then best! My little fur baby was here for 3 weeks and is 3 years old. They were very communicative through the entire time and addressed my concerns. Even after picking up Auggy they still keep in communication to make sure he is still in the right track. I loved that I received updates and did not need to reach out first. I also received pictures and loved it! They are literally the best trainers and treat your pups like family. I would definitely bring Auggy back here and know he will be taken care of! I cannot thank Diane and Eric enough!
I was very anxious about boarding my 2 furbabies. My previous dog walker retired, so you can imagine my trepidation. Staff was extremely friendly and sent me photos when asked. I had both of my pets in a suite to make it less stressful. I believe that was a good call. I would utilize this "hotel" in the future.
I cannot recommend this place enough. I have been taking my dog Comet (husky) here for over 2 years to both daycare and boarding, and I have never ever had a problem. In fact, during my 6 years living in Corona this has been one of the best businesses I have done business with. The entire staff including the manager Amy has provided me with phenomenal customer service. I travel frequently and board my dog here at least a couple times a month, and they have been accommodating getting me in last minute when needed. My dog gives it two paws up too. Forget walk, food, and even treat…. My dog’s favorite words are: do you want to go to Riverwalk! He always has a great time and comes back healthy and safe, and I love how they send me updates during my trip and post their stories on instagram where I can see him too. I’m moving away and will be hard pressed to find another place like this. Do yourself a favor and don’t bother calling anywhere else. This place is the best!!
This place took really good care of my cat. I studied abroad for 6 weeks and had to leave my cat behind. I was so anxious but the staff was so nice and understanding. They sent me pictures and videos, and although my cat was upset to be away from me (she's a big baby), she was healthy and I didn't have to worry about her getting hurt. I often had nightmares about my cat and would call them and they'd immediately send me photos.
You can tell they really care for pets! They have their greeter, Bam Bam (Pomeranian) that welcomed all customers! Amanda, the groomer is amazing!!!
Had my dog stay here for a week! Staff was so professional and friendly and sent me updates with pictures! It was great seeing my little one play with the other dogs and having fun while I was out of the state! I appreciate the photos provided and I highly recommend this place. :)
We bring our family cat here when we leave town for vacation/etc. I can tell our kitty likes it here because when we leave her, she doesn't put up a fuss and even purrs when staff takes her. This warms my heart because I know she is in great care/hands. The staff at Riverwalk are so nice and I appreciate them. Thanks Riverwalk staff.
Very loud and smells like pee where the dogs are often. Otherwise, very amazing staff and reasonable pricing!
We recently went out of town for 10 days and my pugs had a blast at Riverwalk. I didn't worry about them at all when we were gone. I missed them of course and really appreciated the pictures they posted on Instagram.
What makes this facility outstanding than the rest is how their staff treat you. Everyone is sooo friendly and warm. Not to mention how my dogs get easily excited when I drop them off. He just drop dead sleeping at night after his daytime play. I bet he's dreaming playing in their facility. HAHA. Always nice to have this kind of people and service in the community.
Riverwalk Pet Resort has been so wonderful to our family. We had a poor experience at another doggy daycare and were nervous to think that was the norm. At Riverwalk, our pup has been welcomed, loved, and made to feel comfortable. We use RPR for boarding and grooming now, too! Our dog enjoys his sleepovers any time we have to travel or be away overnight.Karen is excellent with our mini schnauzer's regular grooming, including his unruly beard.
I don't know this person. Was just checking out the website to refer a friend for petsitting nearby.
It was a pleasure caring for Silky and Koa!
Our pets' first stay overnight started rocky, but ended great! They were wonderfully cared for...
Best boarding place!! No stress, no endless barking, scheduled play, scheduled rest makes for a healthy well rounded day. Regular updates with pictures/videos. Followed instructions to a T! And alerted me immediately to a possible health concern. (He was absolutely fine thanks to her keen eye and caring) I 100% trust her and I can’t say that about any other facility.
Hands down best boarding place! Made my dog feel right at home! I received pictures and video updates regularly, which put me at ease knowing he was doing well.
The best dog-sitting experience our Phoebe (Chocolate Lab) has ever had! Each day she got more-and-more comfortable at her new home away from home. We received photo/video updates every morning and every evening. A trustworthy "dog whispered" is Robin Drott. [Phoebe's looking forward to her next visit.]
Robin Jpp Drott is amazing. We boarded our foster dog Buddy with her for a week. I was nervous about leaving him because I didn’t want him to feel like we were abandoning him. Robin sent me texts daily to let me know how he was doing as well as pictures and videos. Buddy looked so happy and adjusted quickly to his new environment. She treats the dogs like her own. She loves up on them and spends a lot of time with them. I am so thankful that she was recommended to me and I highly recommend her to everyone. She is amazing ❤️ You will not be disappointed.
Such a caring and warm setting. So accommodating for every need your dog may have. I felt so comfortable leaving my dog there and highly recommend it. My dog was very happy there.
This is the homiest, warmest nicest place ever! My pampered babies feel right at home. What a gem of a find!
Awesome place, just like home! My girls love it. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
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 !
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.
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.
