I am struggling with naming our top adjective to describe Michael and Jeanne. "Conscientious" will likely be it but then again, "personable," "reliable," "organised," and "animal-loving" are top contenders. If you are reading this review and contemplating inviting this couple to watch your pets, then look no further. We have had a number of excellent house sitters but this pair was next level in terms of the love they showed our cats, Maxx and Nala. When we came back, we could our animals already missed them. These cats, who have never slept with anyone other than us, were getting in bed with them each night -- and that meant climbing stairs! The day before our trip, Nala got an ear infection and had to be put on steroids for asthma. Michael and Jeanne did not sign up for that when the sit was booked but they took it in stride. In the last-minute rush, I relayed that Nala needed her oral steroids morning and night. Michael read the RX label, indicating one dose a day, and contacted the vet to clarify. So you can see why "conscientious" is right up there. They saved Nala from an overdose! We were gone three weeks and they sent us just the right amount of pictures and videos. They bought cat toys (I forgot to put ours out!) and actively engaged with them, including 20-minute massages for Maxx. I truly believed them when they said they fell in love with our fur babies. The house was spotless (which was not important to me but truly appreciated) but I smiled when all six water stations in our yard were filled. They took seriously my love for and the needs of the wildlife in our yard. Our plants were all in good condition as well. Sensing they were "next level" when I met them, I predicted they would want to leave a meal for us upon our return. I asked them not to but they found another way to bow out with class. They made a donation to a nonprofit I work with instead. This I learned from the lovely thank you note they left. I hope they will consider Charles and I friends because we certainly feel that way about them now. What special people. If you book them, treat them well because they are going to do that for you for sure.
Anna was an excellent sitter - she took great care to understand all of the intricacies of taking care of the house and cats, asked lots of questions, and arrived on time and ready for the sit. During the trip, she checked in with updates, and upon returning home, left the space tidy and clean. The cats were happy and healthy, and seemed to have had a great time during the sit. Thanks Anna!
Great pet sitter - took perfect care of our cat and our home. They were super communicate leading up to and during the sit and left our apartment in great shape. I'd absolutely recommend them to any future sitters!
Becca was fantastic - we cannot say enough about how great she is as a pet and house sitter and as a human being! Becca committed to the sit 8 months in advance and was great with her responsiveness in communication during the long lead up to the sit. She arrived early and got the low downs on the animals and house stuff prior to us leaving. She woke up crazy early to help us get to the airport and picked us up when we returned, which made the traveling so much easier on our end. She left the house spot-less (and this is no exaggeration), with the linens cleaned, and a wonderful meal waiting for us upon our return. She is an absolute gem of a person with a great sense of humor and a kind and compassionate nature, and she really enjoys the animals in her care. Our dog and cat were very well cared for and totally at ease upon our return. If you are lucky enough to have Becca sit for you, you will be very pleased at how well she does the job!
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.
Elisabeth was an excellent sitter for our cat. We were away for two weeks and received daily photos and notes from her about Catman's activities (i.e., sleeping and eating). She is definitely a cat lover and that was evident from our cat's calm behavior when we returned.
Great sitter would hire Stephen and Jenny in a heartbeat. Great with dogs cat and house
Hannah and Joseph were brilliant sitters - totally reliable and trustworthy. Quick to respond to queries and their past experience with dog/ housesitting was very apparent. Our 2 dogs and 1 cat were well looked after and the house was spotless on our return. We are totally happy to recommend them.
Danny and Jo did a great job caring for our 3 cats and fish AND lots of plants (and home of course) while we were out of town for 3 weeks. We came back to a very clean house, sheets, and towels all clean and folded and fresh sheets on the bed they were using. The plants were all alive too, which is a first for us (again, we have a lot of plants!). The cats were happy to see us and they were all accounted for (a past sitter lost a cat for a week - they escaped outside as a non-outside cat). Everything was in its place and looked great. We received regular updates (via text) with photos of the cats lounging about which was important for us. Danny asked good questions when they visited us before the sit, and when reviewing our pet/house sitting instructions. The only thing we noticed that was different was that our 2 young cats were a little lighter (not necessarily a bad thing) but we understand that being gone for that length of time can be stressful on our furry family, which almost always affects their eating habits. All in all, we would definitely have them again!
Cat and Paul were wonderful sitters - our cats were contented and calm when we returned. And the house was spotless. Plus Paul mowed our entire yard including the back meadow - what a surprise! We very much enjoyed visiting with them as well and getting to know them. Highly recommend :)
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, $27/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!
John Paul is an authentic human who is so sweet and loving to animals! My pup is a bit nervous and has a gentle soul, JP was nurturing and she quickly warmed up! I will definitely be bringing her back to Critter Stay Care! Thanks JP 💕🐾 …
I hired Critter Stay Care to help put with my 4 month old puppy. John Paul has been coming over twice a week to let out and play with her when I have long days at work. He is warm and affectionate with her and I feel she is safe in his care. Now that she is older he has been taking her to the park and then generously bringing her to my office in town. He's been super flexible and accommodating of my changing needs.
My experience with Critter Stay Care has been a wonderful one. I'm grateful to John & his partner Aggie for being such warm hearted and caring people who take really great care of my pup Zia while she stays with them. It's obvious Zia enjoys her time at their weekly doggie daycare; she's always so excited when I bring her. I'd highly recommend them.💜
We use Critter Stay Care for both boarding and weekly walks, and couldn’t be happier! We boarded our dogs for two weeks over the holidays and JP took such incredible care of them. He sent us updates, photos and videos, and it was such a relief to know that they were having a great time and being so well looked after. JP is great to work with, reliable, communicative, and clearly has a ton of expertise and passion for working with dogs. We’re so relieved that we found CSC and JP and can’t recommend him highly enough!
SO grateful to have found Critter Stay Care. My dog loves going to the doggy day care. He has so many new friends, gets to play all day (tired dogs, yay!)- and I know he is always safe and well cared for.
John from Critter Stay Care watched our little dog, Lucy, on Thanksgiving. We had never had a stranger come to our house to care for her. I let John know I was apprehensive about that. He spent time with me on the phone then came for a visit to meet us and learn Lucy’s routine. By Thanksgiving I felt very comfortable having John come in and care for Lucy. Everything went well and he even sent me a little video so I could see that all was well. I will definitely use John’s services again!
The best thing about Critter Stay Care is that dogs can be dogs! My pooch has so much fun here.
They’re super responsive, good communicators, and my dog came back so happy. Will be coming here again!!
We have been using Becky's pet sitting for 8 years for our dog, "Doug". Doug always is ready to see Becky, and her dogs, and loves it there. When we pick him up he is happy, clean, and well cared for. He has a strict diet and medication and Becky has always managed this well. We find her price of $35 a day to be a bargain for the quality of care Doug receives.
I can not recommend Becky's Pet Sitting enough. Becky saved us in a pinch when we had to relocate our pup while on vacation at the very last minute, then was kind enough to respond to our check-ins promptly and with great pictures and video. Our dog was quite happy playing in Becky's backyard with Becky's own dog, and you can't beat her prices - quite affordable for the quality of care. If you're in the area and need some short-term boarding for your small pup, I really can't recommend Becky enough.
Our two dogs received excellent care with Becky even during a major snowstorm and power outage. She is calm and kind and was well prepared with a generator. We knew our pups were doing well under her care. We will definitely use her services again!
I would highly recommend Becky for all of your dog boarding needs. I feel so lucky to have found Becky! I have a 2 year old hound dog that can be too high energy for people to deal with, I kept expecting a phone call saying it wasn’t working out, but to my surprise Becky handles Arlo very well and seems to have a great relationship with him just like I do! It was an unexpected and added benefit that Becky also works on leash training with him (very important issue). I suddenly noticed he was getting better and better on the leash and I couldn’t believe it. My dog is always happy and tired when he comes home from Becky’s and he is ALWAYS excited to go back! I think he now thinks of Becky as a second mom and he loves her so much, you can tell by how excited he is to go to her house! I couldn’t imagine a better situation for us! There are a lot of options nowadays when it comes to dog boarding but Becky’s Dog Boarding is #1 in our family and I would encourage you to try it too! Becky is wonderful and I am so glad to have her in our lives!
Becky has been a lifesaver. We tried other local boarding options with less than desirable results. Our dog is always happy to see Becky and comes home well loved, clean and happy. We have been taking our dog to Becky for over two years, several times per year and she has always been available to take him even if short notice. We love Becky and would highly reccomend!
I’ve been taking my Australian Shepherd, Mattie, to Becky’s for 12 of her 14 years. The first two years I took Mattie to 2 other boarding facilities and was always apprehensive about her condition when I dropped her off, she was stressed out and reluctant to enter the facilities. When I would pick her up she was frequently was overly excited, lost weight and could take a couple of days to recover. I never had these problems with Becky. Mattie would always gladly trot beside her when I dropped her off and she would run to me when I picked her up looking happy and healthy. I would highly recommend Becky’s Pet Boarding. Another review mentioned Becky had been rude to the reviewer. Becky has always been very professional with me and great with my dog.
Magnolia, our 16 month old girl, was greatly taken care of!!! It was the first time for her(and us) and we were all a bit nervous….but Becky took absolutely excellent care of our girl!!! Definitely recommend and definitely will use Becky in the future!!! Awesome.
I had to go away for a few days and couldn't take and my old beagle with me. Becky responded to my email query very quickly, her rates are great, and she takes excellent care of the pets. She has an enclosed yard for them, and takes care to make sure they are properly vaccinated before accepting them into her care. Can't recommend her any higher!
Great thanks to Google for being able to find the best doggie day care imaginable. From day one, Becky's Pet Sitting has given me the piece of mind to drop the dogs off knowing they were in loving, caring hands. Becky has been caring for my dogs six days a week for over a month. When we turn off Brunswick onto her street the dogs start wagging their tails in anticipation! My highest recommendation!!!
Becky took care of our cat Buster for many years. The only person he didn’t run from when the door opened. And one of the few people I trusted with a key to my house. Becky is great with animals.
Our dog instantly loved the resort, and we feel so comfortable leaving him there. Stacey has been very welcoming and flexible and is a great communicator, and our dog returns pleasantly tired from all the play time.
Our dog Bandit had a great stay at the Crooked Rooster Dog Resort! They sent me regular pictures of him and daily communication about how he was doing. When I picked him up he looked super happy and tired from playing with all the other dogs. Will definitely use their services again in the future!
The Crooked Rooster Dog Resort is the ideal place for dogs. My dogs loved their time with Stacey. She is a real life dog whisperer. There is so much room for them to run around and so many friends to play with. Stacey treats every dog like they are family, even my lab puppy who ran through the garden and enjoyed barking at nothing what so ever before even the rooster woke up. It is such a great feeling to know that when we have to leave our dogs, they are not only safe and cared for, but blissfully happy. Highly recommend!!
Amazing experience. Stacey kept me updated with photos of my dog’s adventures. My dog had so much fun in their large fenced in yard, and came home so happy and tuckered out. Will definitely be back
Both my dogs and I always always have a great experience at this location. The hosts are very knowledgeable and kind. Stacey seems to know just what my puppers need for the day. Some times is lots of attention, too the freedom to just be a dog with all their friends that come. She also picks up on things for follow up with me in pick up times to ensure their best doggy life ever!
Our dog has been staying with Stacy for years – from being an energetic pup to a more mellow 9 year old. In all ages, he’s always been excited to come play, and always happily tired when we pick him up. He loves the large yard to play with other dogs in or to have quiet time investigating on his own. We trust Stacy and family with him when we’re on long trips and out of the country, knowing she’ll make good judgement calls if needed and give him nurturing TLC at his home-away-from-home.
We always take our dog to The Crooked Rooster whenever we are away. Stacey is kind and gentle we know our pup is well cared for. There is a very large fenced area for the dogs to run and play. Highly recommended for anyone needing care for their dog(s) while they are away, overnights or even just for the day!
Stacey’s is a great home environment for my GSD to stay at. A variety of other dogs to socialize with, plenty of room to roam around and play. Stacey is very nice and patient with Tule! I highly recommend Crooked Rooster Dog Resort. Bill P.
The Crooked Rooster Dog Resort is our #1 doggie day and overnight care in the Grass Valley area. Our dog Rocket is always so excited when being boarded at The Crooked Rooster. We know he's well cared for and has plenty of space to run about while socializing with the other fury guests. Stacey and her family are true gems!
Stacey & her family are the best. We have always felt super safe leaving our dog here overnight. They treat our dog like family. She loves to go!
Hazel is absolutely the best. She sends consistent updates and photos while watching my pups, which gives me so much peace of mind. She handled my pack of 4 like a true professional. They have a pretty extensive list of suppliments and medications with each meal. Hazel checked off each one every day during her visits so I could be assured they all received everything they needed. I know she goes above and beyond to make sure my pups are not only taken care of but happy, loved and fufilled while I am away. She has been taking care of my pets for over a decade and I simply will not trust my pets with anyone else.
Hazel is one of the best pet sitters we have ever had. She is professional and goes above and beyond. She makes it possible for me to go on vacation and actually relax and not worry about the pets. She gives daily updates and photos. We always come home to a nice, clean home with happy pets.
My dog Charlie loves going to Pawsitive Pals. His butt wiggles and his tail wags on the car ride there! He can’t wait to see his friends. Lauren and her crew go out of their way to keep my dog entertained and exercised. Lauren is a fantastic trainer. She has helped Charlie with a couple issues. I have no doubt that they will take care of Charlie and keep him safe. I highly recommend Pawsitive Pals for your dog’s happiness!
If I could give 10 stars I would. My fur babies are full time at pawsitive pals, this is their home away from home. They are always excited to pay with friends and I know Lauren and her staff truly love and care for them. They even get groomed weekly! What a truly special heart beat in our community. We love it here 🐾 …
My dog Jambi (80 lb German Shepherd mix) is beginning his third year as a Pal Pack member at Paws'itive Pals. I'm so grateful for Lauren and the crew who give so much attention, care and love to creating a safe, engaging, enriching space for doggos to learn and play together. Jambi is a regular (3x/week) at Daytime Socialization and every day he is excited to go to "school" with his friends. He always comes home a good and tired boy, and I always trust he is well taken care of!
Lauren and her staff are wonderful with the dogs, and her staff are very well trained in her principles and methods of how to train & treat dogs. They use positive reinforcement techniques when training the dogs AND their owners. They also encourage the use of Gentle Leaders instead of typical collars or harnesses, as the leader does not allow for pulling. After my dog became used to the leader, she became a delight dog to walk rather than a constant battle to keep her from pulling. I highly recommend Lauren, her staff, and her business.
Always happy dogs! Excellent handlers, beautiful property! Lauren is 100% the best dog trainer in all of Northern California! Honest and very articulate with the dogs and her style of training. She understands dogs to a T. I couldn't ask for a better person to handle difficult behaviors she is able to predict what is going to happen before she even sees the dog in action. I will stand by her always
Lauren, Adam and the team at Pawsitive Pals are absolutely amazing! Their dedication to doing the best they can with every dog, In every position, with any issues, goes above and beyond! The love they show for the animals makes me trust them wholly with my Buster! They train with kindness and consistency. I appreciate all the advice and guidance I am given for raising my new Young pit mix. Every day I get tips on how to improve myself and become a better pet owner. I couldn’t ask for better than the Pawsitive Pals team!!
My lab loves Paws’itive Pals daytime socialization class. She gets to play with lots of other dogs and comes home tired every time. I love Lauren’s attitude to correcting dog behavior and that she checks on all her clients to find out specific problems or concerns and makes suggestions for correcting them.
I adopted a rescue German Shepherd. Lauren and staff has helped him so much in the past six months. He’s a different dog than the one I took home. He loves going to daycare. The facility is fabulous and it’s obvious they love dogs. Best place for training, daycare or boarding. I have used several daycares in the past years with my other dogs and this is by far the best.
Thank you so much to Lauren and her team! She helped with potty training my puppy and curbing our barking problem in just 10 days! This is the perfect place for daytime training and playing, group dog training and boarding. Lauren also supports our community by hosting the annual Halloween dog parade, providing opportunities for local youth and more! This is EXACTLY the type of business I want to support. Finally, Lauren is an impeccable professional with passion for her job; a rare find! Call her today!
Absolutely greatful to have my best friend cared for by people who not only understand dogs but are more than willing to help me understand and effectively train. My mix breed cattle dog is well behaved thanks to the learning, training and socialization Pawsitive pals provides.
Sarah at K9 Clubhouse deserves every 5-star review you see before you. Our dog Darwin is a sweet, nervous, easily overwhelmed gentle giant. As an owner, it's rare to find someone other than myself who understands my dog, but Sarah does. She is patient, understanding, and experienced enough to let Darwin come out of his shell in his own time, and on his own terms. My big goofy boy is always apprehensive in new situations (dogs, people, places, new food, anything really), but he loves making friends if you're patient enough to let him relax. In the three years I've had Darwin, this is the first boarding experience where I haven't worried about him. Between the daily pictures and video updates, to the smile on his face when he looks at Sarah, I know my dog is in the safe hands of a person who truly understands him.
I’ve been taking my chihuahua to Sarah for boarding for a year and a half now and I love how she gets to know each dog so they feel comfortable being away from home. I know my dog is well taken care of and makes herself right at home with the other dogs (after a few sniffs). Even going so far as to figuring out the doggie door to the house and making herself comfortable on the couch. Sarah’s overall knowledge of dogs is invaluable when caring for different breads, sizes and personalities at the same time.
Sarah & Preston were very friendly and good with the dogs. The kennels were clean & comfortable. Zoey came home happy & relaxed. I will definitely use K9 Clubhouse again.
I love K9 Clubhouse! I instantly felt connected to Sarah but more importantly so did my 1 yr old Aussie Jax. I was leaving on a 10 day trip and was extremely nervous about leaving him for the first time. I signed Jax up for boarding and training which apparently went really well based on his performance when he got home . Sarah sent me videos showing me his progress and how content and happy he was playing with the other dogs. Her care, love and commitment to all of the dogs was evident by how well they all got along. I was happy with the cleanliness of the kennels not to mention the comfort that she provided for Jax. I look forward to Jax spending more time with Sarah , improving his skills which gives me the confidence to take him out to public places knowing he will behave and listen to the commands. I highly recommend K9 Clubhouse!!
K9 Clubhouse is absolutely wonderful! Sarah treats the dogs in her care as if they are her very own! We received texts and photo updates. She went above and beyond for our black lab. We highly recommend her boarding and training services! We will definitely be boarding with K9 Clubhouse again!
I have really enjoyed having my baby Linus stay with Sarah and her Fantastic Team, Sarah is amazing and I can't even begin to say enough great things about how well she takes care of my baby. Sarah always sends pictures and updates of what Linus is doing and it makes me feel so good knowing my baby is in such good hands. Thank you very much Sarah and the K9 Clubhouse Team for everything you do for my baby, Linus always gets very excited to go hang out with you and all his friends :-) Sincerely, Stephanie
Our young, energetic kelpie loves staying here. He has stayed for both short and extended stays. With the large area to run and play with an herding ball along with the oversized runs and the brain teaser games, he always returns happy. Sarah has been wonderful with his needs and helpful with any questions we had. We will definitely continue to board our dog with k9 clubhouse.
My girls love to stay with Sarah! Not just anyone can take care of a dog with separation anxiety and another that is deaf and blind, but Sarah does with it with love and expertise. Having a smaller facility means they get extra attention and snuggles. Sarah gives them lots of exercise and treats and my dogs come home tired and happy. I would recommend Sarah to anyone looking for an awesome place to board their dog.
K9 clubhouse is the only place we will board our dog. So many other boarding places are dirty and they don’t give the dogs enough exercise. We want to take our dog somewhere where she is loved and cared for. Sara is amazing with our lab mix, Winnie, and she has the best time with her. She is so worn out when she comes home that she will sleep the next two days!
Our boy Shiloh enjoyed his boarding experience at K9 Clubhouse. Sarah sent pictures and videos of him, which assured us that he was happy and thriving!
