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.

Seàn was an amazing pet and house sitter! He was super communicative and took amazing care of my dog Nala and cat Bruce. They were happy and loved while I was away- I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for the two little fur babies! He sent great pictures and checked in every day so I had nothing to worry about. On top of all that, he also kept my place immaculately clean and left my place in wonderful shape. We can’t wait to have him back to sit and I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone looking for a sitter!
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!
Carole and Ron are excellent cat-sitters! They took very good care of my cat Lola and of my house. I came home to a happy cat and a very clean and tidy house. They sent me pictures of Lola and kept me updated, so that I had a very relaxed holiday. I very highly recommend them as cat- sitters and I would be thrilled if they would come back to sit for Lola again. Thank you so much!
Hannah and Joseph housesat our three kitties for a week and a half while we were traveling for the holidays. They were very communicative and conscientious. We received daily updated on our cats with cute and funny pictures. When they noticed our 17yo cat, Amber, wasn’t eating very much, they let us know and we were able to resolve the problem quickly. They were also very resourceful and understanding when we ran out of some cat supplies. Hannah and Joseph took great care of the house. Everything was very clean and tidy when we arrived back, and we had a short time to get to know them on our arrival. We would be fortunate to find more house sitters like them, and would of course love to have them back in the future! We wish Hannah and Joseph luck in their travels!
Kathryn was amazing. She helped me figure plans out after another sitter dropped out at the last minute and saved the day! My cat and fish were well taken care of, and she was super communicative when my tank had a problem child moment. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, helpful, and caring sitter!!
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!
Brian is a very professional sitter that does a good job, pays attention to details and is easy to work with. I have a lot of plants. A lot. He suggested me do a video for the plant care so he could be sure of which ones needed what. Brilliant! I’d never thought of that. They were in great shape when I returned. I explained that I needed some flexibility with travel dates, he agreed and rolled with the punches like a champ when my dates did indeed change. Unfortunately, he was a bit allergic to my cat but made it work anyway. He was really awesome about everything including a tree that fell next door in a storm and blocked the road for three days. I appreciate that he appreciated how funny and how much personality Boo has. They got along well and I received some great videos. I returned home to a happy cat and a house well taken care of 😊. I would definitely recommend Brian.
strongly recommend Christine and Phil to housesit for your kitty. Our pets, Babbles and Cousin Eddy, and property, were in very good hands while we where away for two weeks. They had a fair amount entailed with two cats on different food and needs. Cousin Eddy, or Edoardo, is a barn cat we recently adopted. Eddy is very sweet and stays outside but hangs out the side door wanting to be petted and fed; Bubbles is an indoor cat. Both cats were spoiled by Christine and Phil! Christine and Phil were also very caring and attentive with the needs of our Airbnb guests. During the time we were away they kept us updated daily (including photos of the cats). When we came home, our house was perfect, with lovely fresh flowers, notes for us, and our cats had been well-cared-for. They are wonderful house sitters, and we highly recommend them. They were Five-star sitters of our house and cats!
Jose was a wonderful pet/house sitter for us recently. We highly recommend him. He was wonderfully reliable and responsible and took such good care of our two pets. On short notice Jose drove down from Grass Valley to the East Bay for a bit of a quiet get-away while working a really hard job teaching online. We know how hard that is firsthand and partly why we needed our own get-away for a last-minute backpacking trip. We have a recently rescued pit bull and a rescued cat that we're still introducing to each other to make sure the dog doesn't eat the cat (as he seems to want to), and the cat doesn't blind the dog (as she would if he tried to eat her). That might be more background than is needed in a review but Jose made us feel comfortable about everything because of how conscientious and responsible he clearly is. We could tell when we talked to him that he was genuinely kind and eminently trustworthy. We are very grateful and hope Jose was happy with everything too because we know what a value his care was to us. Jose truly deserves any and all house-sitting gigs that strike his interest. Ours was not the easiest and he was amazing. Get him if you can.
We've had many pet/house sitters over the last few years and Cat and Eugene will reside at the top of the list of favorites! From my first email with Cat I knew I liked her. She has all of the qualities of a good house and pet sitter: Reliable, a good listener, organized, flexible, caring, and honest. She and Eugene arrived exactly on time for our pre-sit visit, where they got to meet Maya and become familiarized with the house. It was a delight to visit with them and become comfortable knowing Maya would be in good hands. Our scheduled dates changed somewhat and they were extremely flexible and easy going about the changes. Upon our return home, we found the house pretty much in the exact condition we left it in. I can tell that great care was taken for Maya and for the house. Maya seemed to still be looking for them the next day, wandering around the house wondering where the other people who loved her went. I would recommend Cat and Eugene for anyone looking for reliable, kind, respectful, caring, tidy, and honest sitters. If I am lucky, I will get to have them back to sit for me again.
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 $ per visit, $15/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!
Excellent and affordable doggie and cat day care and boarding! I am so thankful for the excellent service, kind staff, and superior dog/cat care at Rivers Edge Pet Lodge. The staff is caring, take very good care of my pet and I always am confident that she's safe and happy- having fun!
My high-energy puppy LOVES rivers edge for daycare! He’s been going for several months now and has come home every day fulfilled and calm from a days worth of play and attention from the staff. Every morning he waits by the door for me to take him to “school” and is a ball of energy and excitement the entire ride there. Today, he had his first bath. Although he hates bath time at home, he clearly enjoyed his bath at rivers edge and came home a happy and clean puppy. We recommend rivers edge to all of Bruce’s friends, and if you’re reading this review we recommend it to you too!
The best part about this place is the staff. Buying their packages makes it easy to come in go quickly. The large one comes with a bath. It's strong suit is daycare. Overnight is OK because of the price. The Weekend is boarding only, and I would not recommend because of limited pickup windows, price, they don't get enough exercise.
My experience was great! I bring my dog and cat here. It’s only their second time coming here and I know this is different for them but they seem to adjust well. The first time I boarded them, I didn’t ask questions about how they did but this time I asked questions and the staff had no problem answering my concerns. Everyone I meet there is very friendly. I hope in time my dog will get to hang out with other dogs there when he’s being boarded, but he’s not always very social. We already have two more vacations planned for next year so maybe my dog will come out of his shell. I know my pets would rather be home but Rivers Edge is a second home for them. Thank you for the ease of making arrangements for boarding and for picking them up.
My pup loves River’s Edge. Staff takes exceptionally good care of my dog. My pup is always so excited to come! Day care, boarding, and grooming services are all excellent. They even celebrated her birthday!
Our dogs came home happy, healthy and, by adding the bath for each, not stinky! It's so nice to know your furry family will be well cared for. I love having both dogs in the same space because they are very much a bonded pair. One is 90lbs, the other 25lbs and there is more than enough room for them to be content. Lots of outdoor time, a staff that is always so nice and the ease of drop off and pick up makes this a great choice for boarding.
I take my 3 huskies for grooming , their staff is friendly and professional, my 3 dogs love them, reasonable prices , highly recommended.
I was a non-believer! I giggled at the thought of doggy daycare, but when I saw that my 4 month old puppy was terrified of other dogs I knew I had to do something. I tried introducing him to other dogs at Surf Beach and he would physically shake in fear and/or anxiety while hiding behind me. I had friends highly recommend this doggy daycare to help bring Tank out of his shell. So off I go, to doggy daycare where Christine gave me a tour, pricing information, and answered all my questions and concerns. Next day I drop off my fat little guy and hope he doesn't get bullied, attacked or that he doesn't give himself an anxiety heart attack. Few hours later I watched a video the daycare posted on Instagram of my little guy playing with the other dogs and having the time of his life. That night was awesome Tank was so tired he went to bed early and snored so loudly I had to double check it wasn't my husband. I was so pleased I drove him to daycare again in the morning and he couldn't wait to get inside. Highly recommend!
Staff is extremely friendly and do all the can to accommodate their guests. Bummed it took me so long to take my two dogs for daycare. Positive experiences.
I have been bringing my little guy here for years! I live out of the area now, but when I am in the area, I feel that my pup is in the best hands! A special thanks to Chrissy 💝 she and her team love my pup as if he was their own. …
Jen was great! We made arrangements with the understanding plans might slightly change on my part. She was receptive as she was sitting other dogs but I was respectful of her time. We were in communication b4 meeting up and leading towards picking our babies up from her location. My two dogs took to her right off the bat, even though my female dog is typically very leery of strangers.They behaved as if they knew her for a long time. When we picked them up they happily ran towards us, but kept looking back at her. We could tell they enjoyed their time with her. I definitely recommend her and definitely will use her again if/when I find I’m in her area again. Thank you again Jen! 💐🐶 ❤️🐶
I am so happy I found Jen! Our dog is a rescue and can be very nervous and suffers from separation anxiety. Jen welcomed her with open arms and always goes above and beyond to accommodate her needs. Our dog absolutely loves her and I have zero worries when I leave her with Jen. Jen has also saved the day several times when we needed a last minute per sitter. She is kind and an animal lover. She also sends pics and updates which I love! I would recommend her to anyone with any type of dog.
I cannot say enough good things about Jen & her daughter, AZ. They were AMAZING!!! I was coming up to Santa Barbara for a wedding, and wanted to bring my fur babies along for the fun weekend. I found a pet friendly air bnb, but the rules were that I could not leave my dogs alone. Thank goodness for Jen! I was SO worried as I don't trust just anyone with my dogs. From the first time I called in and spoke to Jen, I could tell immediately that I really liked her. I was able to book her for both Friday & Saturday night for wedding festivities. Jen, who is fully insured, showed up early to meet "the girls". My two shy Italian greyhounds instantly fell in love with her (they usually take a while to warm up to strangers). This made me feel SO comfortable to leave them. She truly has a way with animals! Jen sent me photos throughout the night, which was great! I had the pleasure of meeting Jen's daughter the following night, who was equally as sweet and just as good with animals. The girls loved her too! Jen & AZ saved my weekend. They made my trip that much better!!! I cannot thank them enough! I highly recommend Jen's services. She is extremely professional, kind, funny, and an all around good person. My dogs loved her & AZ! Thank you Jen & AZ for making my life that much sweeter! I will def be recommending you to anyone and everyone I know that's planning a trip up to SB that needs a pet sitter.
Best dog sitter we have had for years. We travel a lot and at times need a sitter in the hotels the be with our schnauzer. She is getting old and needs TLC. Jen is amazing friendly and most of all I could tell she loves animal's and they love her. Do not hesitate to hire her for your pet. You and your pet will be very glad. Dubby
Had to leave town for work with short notice, no place to take my 2 dog's....Called Jen and she was vary accommodating on short notice, watch both my dog's for 3 days!!!!..fees are vary reasonable. Will use her again but will try and give more notice (:
Thank you Wasim! 💗🐾 …
Not a client, false review
I don't know who this is, no matching email or client name?
Santa Barbara Pets Sitters are just SO awesome! They go above and beyond when caring for our entire Critter Crew. (chickens and Bearded Dragon) Each sitter shows excellent attention to every detail with a true love for all animals! Communication is outstanding every step of the way! Our family has used their services twice and couldn't be more pleased! We highly recommend SB Pet Sitters and will be using their services again very soon!
I highly recommend Santa Barbara Pet Sitters. When the sitter I had reserved weeks before bailed on me days before my upcoming trip, I called them and Tracy found the perfect sitter for me. Angela was professional throughout and sent photos and kept me informed about the outcomes of her visits and walks with my pets while I was gone. I’ll definitely be calling them again!
Santa Barbara Pet Sitters is wonderful! We feel so lucky to have found them! Cris is fantastic!
We were very happy we found Lucky Dog Pet Resort. We were on a long trip and able to bring our dog on most of it, but we had to find a place for him for two nights. All the boarding facilities we'd used before required a trial daycare run before booking any over night stays, but Lucky Dog let us just bring him in and treated him great. They don't take drop offs mid day, we almost missed the morning window, so be sure to plan around that.
I recently got a dog and then shortly afterwards needed to go to LA. These guys were highly reviewed so I called them to book an overnight stay. They require a a trial day (at no charge) to see if my dog could handle being boarded. My dog (especially when I first got him) doesn’t like being left alone. I paid extra for walks during the day. At every step of the way I was impressed with Lucky Dog Pet Resort and I have since taken him here for days that I need to. It is scary to trust someone with my special guy and these kind folks honored my trust.
I boarded my dog here for about 9 days while I was on vacation. The first day as a trial day went well the staff seemed friendly and things went fine. I was explained this would be free and what the cost per day to board would be. I scheduled the time and the day I dropped her off the staff who now seemed to be distracted talking by her co worker while checking me in instead of asking me to wait while she assisted her would ask me if I wanted play time and then continue her conversation with the co worker. This was my first time boarding her so I just said yes to play time and pool time thinking this was included. I was facing the wall on the right hand side where the computers were not behind a desk and the staff member did not communicate to me that these would be an extra charge. After the very cluttered interaction I left and my spouse told me to double check we would not be charged extra. I called and was then informed that it is 15$ for 15 minutes of play and around 40$ for a pool day. This information should be relayed to the customer at the time of discussion. When I told the woman on the phone this was never brought to my attention her response was “oh you should have gotten some paperwork with pricing.” I let her know I had received no paperwork at all. This was extremely unorganized, unprofessional and careless. It made me very nervous about my dogs stay there but I had already started to leave the state and could not make other arrangements. I picked her up and she seemed to be okay but then she ended up getting sick. At about the same time I received an email saying their facility had kennel cough. This experience was extremely disappointing and I will not be taking my dog there or recommending this place. It’s clearly minimum wage staff who do not prioritize animals.
My dog Loves it there! Just wish there was online cameras to watch him sometimes. Everyone is super nice!
My experience here with my two pups have been pleasant! They gave me a tour of the facility, explained all of the services they offer, and also discussed potential symptoms of my pups having a hard time adjusting to a new environment (blood in stool, hunger strike, etc) You can also pay for yard time, cuddle time, walk time and the pictures are posted on their Facebook page. It helps me feel better about being away from my pups and knowing that they are receiving human/dog socialization, interaction and attention instead of being stuck in the dog run all day. I can call anytime of the day to get an update on how my pups are doing/adjusting and they are flexible pick up/drop off times for your early morning trips or late evening pick ups. I also like that their dog runs have an indoor/outdoor feature with a heater. Their communication skill is perfect & I enjoy coming here and definitely recommend to others looking for a doggy daycare
A home away from home for our boy. Lucky Dog provides good safe and clean care. With plenty of play time with other doggie friends. IWe give Lucky Dog 5 Stars
I know my dog is in good hands at Lucky Dog. The staff is always friendly and helpful and the check in process is a breeze. I never have to worry when I drop my pets off.
We love Lucky Dog! We have been taking our dogs here for since they opened around 15 years ago in their current location. The staff is outstanding and our dogs are always excited to go. They are awesome for grooming, boarding and offer many great activities. Always feel great with their care for our dogs!
My dog loves daycare days and yard time with resort staff. Extended pick-up and drop-off times allow me to work without worrying. We are so lucky this business exists!
My dog truly enjoys her visit. Staff are very helpful with the checking in process. The pool parties are fun.
Justin layed out all the options for puppy/dog training for our 8 month old yellow American Lab. He was realistic about training goals for an AD/HD puppy, and my wife and I chose the best training package for our long term goals, just to get him started. We have evidence that their methods work.
Michael, Justin and Stacy are truly incredible people with a love for YOUR pet! I brought my 13 pound Mini Schnauzer mix dog into their boarding facility for just shy of a couple weeks and they took excellent care of her. The activities are plentiful for the all the dogs and their kennels have A/C. Had some food restrictions but they were kind enough to accommodate. Had a bit of a dilemma but they helped me sort it out! Check them out! If you have any questions, they’re very friendly and like any other business can be reached via the phone. I want to thank each and every employee there for the work that you do! The Ruff Ranch is a terrific place for your pet if you want safety and fun activities with the other dogs And (yes), they have earned my business in the future!
The Ruff Ranch did an excellent job training our Aussie youngster. He spent 2 weeks there doing obedience training, socialization playtime with other dogs, and muzzle training. They also take excellent care of him when we have needed to boarded him. Their trainers are consistent, and best of all...you get a video of your dog learning new skills everyday they are in the board and train program.
I recently boarded my 8 year old Brittany spaniel at Ruff Ranch. I had to book him for a 2 weeks stay at a last minute notice due to a family emergency. I am so thankful he was able to stay there. The owner and employees were so friendly, professional and very organized. When I went to pick him up he was happy, clean and the same as always. I have tried other boarding facilities in the area but Ruff Ranch is my favorite.
Imagine an iconic doggie destination retreat complete with fun, tail-wagging friends and the best-trained training staff ever! That and more is what you'll find at Ruff Ranch. The grounds are gorgeous (there's a lake!), the accommodations are spacious and well-appointed, and doggedly clean and safe. I've often wished I had whiskers and a tail so I could hang out at the ranch, too! Justin and the Ruff Ranch team bring a quality of professionalism that is unrivaled in this business field and rare in others. We and our dog so appreciate the patience, skill, and professionalism this team combines in caring for and training our rascally border collie and all the other pups who have the good fortune to cross the Ruff Ranch threshold.
Everyone at the Ruff Ranch is so kind and genuinely loves dogs. I have used many doggy day cares over the years and this is the only one that my dog happily runs into. All the staff greet him by name and remember him (even when he hasn't been there in weeks). I love that they take the time to get to know your dog and their temperament and gently introduce them into the right play yards and don't overwhelm them. It is also the only place I have felt comfortable boarding our dog, especially since I know they get lots of playtime and and attention.
The folks at Ruff Ranch are wonderful! Michael at the front always is on top of our drop offs and pick ups, even surprising me with his efficiency. Anthony has been super patient with our dog Skye who always needs a bit more time acclimating to a new daycare. Nani is loving her playtime and special attention from her new human friends. We are thankful to have found Ruff Ranch during our move to the Valley!
The Ruff Ranch is fantastic! They are very thoughtful about the initial intake and make sure your dog will do well there. They clearly care so much for the doggies. Our rescue pup did great the first day and now loves going for a day here and there. She comes back so happy and tired it's amazing. Cannot say enough great things about them.
The staff is awesome and make Ruff Ranch what it is. Even though my dogs don't go to Ruff Ranch regularly, I've met the owner and most all of the Staff. They are a friendly, positive bunch willing to help you with any issue. Reception area is welcoming, pleasant and professional. I haven't had the opportunity to use any of the optional services yet, but they will even take your dog to vet appointments if needed! Other services include grooming, nails and dispensing meds. Ruff Ranch is the most complete daycare and boarding facility for dogs in the area.
I brought my 3 year old rescued black Labrador retriever named Kobe to Ruff Ranch for a week long training. Kobe had a lot of behavioral issues, as it was clear from the moment we adopted him 5 months ago, includes counter surfing, not responding to 'come' and wanted to sit at the dinner table to eat our dinner! he was a bit of a mess and after two months we decided to take him to Ruff Ranch. Kobe has come a long way since then, and with the tools and lessons they provided us, to continue training, Kobe is much easier to work with and has transformed into an amazing loyal dog. Maureen and Justin are certified AKC trainers and go above and beyond with your dog and they do it with love. They have an amazing caretakers that are part of a synergistic teamwork. In addition to training, they offer daycare and overnight boarding, and even have Pajama doggie parties. I give them 10 stars.
Called 2 says ahead of my stay in solvang,to see if I could get my dot sitter for a couple hours and they did not answer. Called 2 days later whwn I needed my dot sitter and did not answer. They don't have system or website to see if I can board my dog there. Maybe it's a family farm idk. But went elsewhere . Not so happy with this false advertising that's for sure.
Highly recommend Tayloremade Training for all your K9 training needs. My sweet Franklin did not know basic commands and Daniel was able to help me train him. Taylor and Daniel are extremely flexible and helped work with my busy schedule. They definitely did wonders for my pup. Communication was excellent and they were always very responsive to all my questions. Recommend 10/10!!!
I’ve been so happy training my puppy with TaylerMade! He’s learning how to be confident in stressful situations, listen to me, and gain fundamental obedience skills! Tayler doesn’t just train your dog, she teaches you how to train your dog so you can go home and build on those skills to strengthen your relationship with your pup. Would 100% recommend for puppy training so your dog is set up with confidence and obedience for life!
This is going to be a long post but a good read I promise! When I moved to Lompoc in 2023 and welcomed my Standard Poodle, Cooper, into my life, I knew I had a big task ahead of me. As a United States Marine Corps veteran, I had struggled with anxiety for some time, and I knew that I needed a service animal to help me navigate the challenges of daily life. What I didn’t know was that the journey to finding the right partner in Cooper would be so beautifully shaped and guided by the expertise and compassion of Tayler and Daniel from TalylerMade Training. From the very first day I walked into their training facility, I was both nervous and uncertain. I had never trained a service dog before, and I had so many questions, concerns, and fears. But the moment I saw Tayler interacting with her own service animal, I immediately felt a sense of relief. I knew I had made the right choice. Tayler's calm demeanor and the clear bond she shared with her service dog gave me the confidence to believe that Cooper and I could achieve the same. At just three months old, Cooper was a blank slate, but Daniel's understanding of animal behavior and his ability to adapt to Cooper's unique needs was extraordinary. He didn’t just train him—he helped me build a relationship with him, teaching me how to communicate with him in ways I never imagined. Every session was an enlightening experience, as Daniel, with him unwavering patience, showed me how to connect with Cooper on a deeper level, making each step of the process feel not only achievable but meaningful. After a brief break in training, I returned a year later, knowing it was time to really focus on Cooper’s future as my service animal. Tayler welcomed me back with open arms, and once again, she made me and my husband feel completely comfortable. No question was too small, no concern too trivial—Tayler and Daniel made sure we had the tools, resources, and confidence to continue our journey. Their dedication to our success was clear at every turn. Today, thanks to Tayler’s guidance and expertise, Cooper is ready to provide the support I need with my disability. He is not just my dog—he is my partner, my anchor, and my source of strength. I owe this transformation to Tayler and Daniel, whose tireless work and genuine care have made a lasting impact on both my life and Cooper’s. I cannot recommend TalylerMade Training enough. Tayler’s ability to combine skill, heart, and a deep understanding of both animals and people is unmatched. If you are looking for a training program that is built on trust, expertise, and a true desire to see both you and your animal succeed, look no further. Tayler and Daniel will change your life, just as they have changed mine. Thank you, Tayler, from the bottom of my heart. Cooper and I will always be grateful for the support and guidance you’ve given us!
A small town hidden gem. The store was very clean and well organized. The staff were friendly and attentive and very knowledgeable. There was an excellent variety of products you can’t find at the big box shops for all types of pets at reasonable prices. The owners are board certified dog trainers and offer an all inclusive list of various training options spanning from puppies to adult dogs covering all ages and skill levels. They even have a dog washing station available! 5/5 Would definitely shop here again.
I can't even begin to express how amazing Tayler and her team are, they work literal magic. From her services, to her products -- you won't be disappointed. It's apparent Tayler knows her stuff & has a passion for animals. With less than 6 months to work, she took our wild 6 month old golden retriever puppy and gave us the tools and techniques to train him into one the most well behaved dogs I have ever seen. Even with a short period of time, she was able to prepare us and our dog to travel on a 10 hr flight internationally just laying at our feet! Also she only stocks amazing products in her shop and has created the best leash we have ever owned. If you go with anywhere else but her, you royally messed up!
We had such a great experience with TaylerMade Training. Our one year puppy was extremely scared of strangers and other dogs. After a scary of experience of her running off at the beach and not being able to find her for over an hour, we reached out to TaylerMade Training for help. Daniel worked with us to teach Magnolia simple recall commands, increase her confidence, and teach us how to respond in certain situations. We purchased the hybrid package, so we were able to work with Magnolia in a variety of settings. Since then, we have taken Magnolia on a 3 week road trip and a camping trip to the beach. She did great and I was at ease knowing we had the knowledge to keep her safe. We have also implemented the things we have learned with our other dogs. I am so thankful we found TaylerMade Training and I would highly recommend them.
TaylerMade Training is the place to go for your puppy and dog training needs. I have a very people and dog reactive Aussie/Collie mix. Daniel and Tayler are the best! We are working through his issues to get him to be a well behaved puppy who can walk and enjoy himself. I couldn't be happier with our decision to seek help and more so with them as our help! It's important to start dogs on a good foundation, and finding you dog is reactive is an even bigger reason to make sure that foundation is solid! Thank you so much Daniel and Tayler for your work and dedication to these animals of ours! Also for your extensive volunteer service in the places we need it! -April Ford and Jäger
Just finished our first bath at TaylerMade!! Been going to Tayler for training (which has made a HUGE difference in behavior, highly recommend!!!). Loved the easy on/off feature for the hose and all the grooming tools available. So glad there’s a quick and easy bath to keep my good boi so fresh and so clean.
I came to TaylerMade after I got a 4 month old australian shepard who was severely under socialized. He was very reactive and had no idea how to handle his emotions, I quickly realized I was in over my head! Daniel and Tayler recommended that we do a 2 week board and train so they were able to more intensively work on his level reactivity. He now walks beautifully on a leash and is able to walk right by situations that would’ve caused a meltdown before! I would’ve never been able to get to this point with him on my own. Training with TaylerMade has made such a big difference in my dogs life and mine, could not recommend more!
I purchased a dog from Tayler and Daniel. They were both very helpful and promptly responded to any questions I had when learning how to handle the dog.
I was so happy to find Mary and PamperPet. I know when I go away my 4 cats will be well cared for as well as my home. She truly loves animals and will go out of her way to make sure they get the best care. She keeps in touch sending photos of the cats and leaves detailed notes so I know just what they were up to! She is so kind, professional and lovely to work with! One of the best pet sitters I have had.
Mary Scott (Pamper Pet) is hands down the best cat lover I ever hired to take care of my special beloved cat Chase for the last couple of years of his life. She was completely reliable, and she took care of him as if he were her very own. She even took care of him when he became terminally ill with kidney disease. Her billing system was prompt and accurate, and she left me notes daily on how he was doing and sent me texts and photos of him daily. He was always happier when I returned from a trip if he had been taken care of by Mary. She grew very fond of him, and she came over to help me on the morning when I had to take him to the vet for euthanasia. We both pampered him and soothed him; she took some treasured photos of me holding him, and we cried together. This prepared me for when my significant other came to take me to take me and Chase to the vet for the last time. I am deeply grateful for all that she did so well to help him, to love him, and to help me.
Finally, a pet care service that provides total peace of mind! We can't say enough about the quality of care Mary and her team at PamperPet provide. They are conscientious, caring and make us feel totally comfortable leaving our loved ones for either quick or extended trips. Love the text messages and photos we receive while we are away, and the very detailed diary of their visits when we return. Our two cats love them too! Highly recommend.
Five Stars ✨ for Springdale Pet Ranch!! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Springdale Pet Ranch! My dog, Starlight, absolutely loves his time there, whether it's for daycare or boarding. Every time I pick him up, he's happy, tired, and full of fun. It's clear he's had a blast with all the activities and attention from the staff. The facility is top-notch, and the team there truly cares about the pets. I feel completely confident leaving Starlight in their hands, knowing he'll be safe, well-cared for, and most importantly, enjoying himself to the fullest. I recommend Springdale Pet Ranch to everyone I meet at the dog park and the beach. There's no other place I would consider for my boy Star—it's simply the best!
Doctor Who and I love springdale pet ranch. The staff is wonderful and very kind. I feel comfortable leaving her there for the day or for boarding. Doctor Who enjoys playing in the yards with friends and hanging with the staff. I feel pricing is reasonable.
My pup Pierre has been going to Springdale Pet Ranch for almost 2 years and I highly recommend them! Pierre goes to daycare 5 days a week and has boarded twice at SPR, most recently last week for 5 days/nights. The staff is highly trained and really understand dogs and take such good care of our fur babies. They are really friendly and helpful and truly love the dogs. They take the time to get to know each dog and their personalities, and will discuss any concerns or issues that might arise with your pet.There are different packages available for both boarding and daycare, so you can customize your pet’s experience to meet your needs and budget. SPR has obedience training during which they teach your pet basic commands and manners, which is great especially if you’re a first time pet owner. They have treadmill sessions where your dog is supervised walking on a pet treadmill—great exercise and also good mental stimulation for your dog. They also have bike training sessions where your dog runs alongside a trainer riding a bike. There are enhanced daycare packages where you will get a report card with photos of your pup enjoying his time playing with other dogs in his group and also getting one on one time with trainers. Dogs are put in groups with other dogs of similar size and temperament, and they have supervised play sessions with the trainers. SPR has recently added grooming services so you can schedule a bath or nail trim during your regular daycare session, at a reasonable price. Pierre is always so excited to go play each day, and he’s tired when he gets home. I love SPR and enthusiastically recommend them for both daycare and boarding!
We are huge fans of Springdale. We use them both for boarding and daycare for our fur baby Coco. She's always excited to go and we know she will be well taken care of. When we travel I look forward to getting her report cards because she always looks so happy. All the staff members have been super friendly both in person and over the phone. Thanks for all you do.
I can’t say enough about Springdale - the facility is remarkable - spotless and utterly pristine. Everyone who works there is delightful. They send the best photos every day of Wilson playing with his dog friends (I actually keep a ton of them!) and the cutest selfies with his human friends along with daily report cards, which are personal and detailed and honest about how he is doing. We look forward to them every day while we are traveling! Thank you for keeping our boy safe and happy when we go away. We are SO grateful! - Yvette & Fred
Professional staff. Caring attitudes. Competent and compassionate. Personally, Springdale Pet Ranch, reaches beyond just a business. Their a beacon of hope for any K9 owner who wants the best results -- a disciplined, loyal, and friendly dog. Thanks Jack and Springdale Pet Ranch staff for being 'there' after my wife's recent scheduled surgery in Southern California. Lucy was just three weeks out of the Santa Maria Animal Shelter. Thank you for your professionalism and five star care!
Tiago enjoys his time at Springdale pet ranch. Whenever I have to leave him here, I feel at ease knowing he will be well taken care of. I am truly grateful for the friendly and attentive staff!
I absolutely love Springdale. Since I travel for work, I’ve had to use different daycare places, but Springdale is my dog’s home. She did a board and train and goes weekly right now. The staff are so incredibly patient and sweet and Jack is really knowledgeable and helpful. My dog sometimes struggles with other dogs and they have ALWAYS accommodated her and tailor her time to make her a better dog. Truly a gem of a business and animal care provider.
Springdale pet Ranch is the best place to take your pet, hands-down. My dog loves this place so much, she always has so much fun and when we drop her off, she is so excited to see everyone and go play. I love getting her “report cards” when we go on vacation, they always make it easier for me, seeing how much fun she’s having at Springdale. I also have to mention the fantastic job the groomer does on bathing my dog. She’s always clean and fluffy and perfect when I pick her up. I truly love this place for my pet. Thank you Springdale!
My sister has her pup at this daycare. I got to visit her and this location recently. I love how they play with him and now they have agility training. He has way too much energy and they help get his ya-yas out. They know each dog and are really caring about their welfare. They have different areas for different size dogs and activities. Great place!
Debbie is very professional and very caring. The dog play areas are very clean and well kept. The price per stay are extremely reasonable. My baby loved it.
