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.

Sofia and Nicole were excellent sitters to our 2 playful cats (an adult tabby and a BIG Maine coon kitten). They gave us a couple updates daily with pictures, as we requested. They were easy to communicate with before and throughout the entire sit. When we came home, our apartment was tidy (probably neater than we left it!) and our cats were relaxed and happy. They were also kind enough to leave us with some sweet bandanas for our boys. We were super pleased with the quality of care, and would happily recommend Sofia and Nicole to anyone in need of a pet or house sitter!
. We were absolutely delighted with the care Summer provided for our cats. Without a doubt, she is the best cat sitter we have ever had the pleasure of working with. Her attentiveness and genuine affection for our cats were evident in every interaction. Throughout our holidays, she kept us constantly updated with daily pictures and detailed updates, which gave us immense peace of mind. Additionally, she maintained our house in immaculate condition, keeping everything clean and tidy. This level of consideration and dedication went above and beyond our expectations, and we deeply appreciated her efforts. Summer’s exceptional service made our holiday experience truly worry-free and enjoyable.
The best cat sitters ever! They loved our cats and spent so much time playing with them and making sure they were happy! We had photos and videos every day with funny little messages and we came home to two very happy, healthy cats. The house was spotless and they even washed the linen and towels! They left us some cute Easter presents and breakfast shopping in the fridge, as we were returning after a long flight. We would definitely recommend Michael and Jeanne to anyone and hope they will come back to Teignmouth in the near future. Thanks very much for looking after our beautiful cats and our home x
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!
Nathalie and John were great! They were great house sitters to watch our two dogs, 2 geckos, our old cat and bull frog. Their two girls took good care of the animals as well. The house was exactly how we left it. We really appreciated their help!
Wow, what a find Justin is! I feel as though I won a lottery. As I was revelling in the communication we were having during his stay, I looked over his profile and realized either that he had updated it during his stay OR I never even read it. I was so impressed with his initial application that described multiple stays taking care of cats in Turkey that I knew he was going to be a great choice. So I'm not sure that I even read his profile or reviews. Turned out...he was more than I could have EVER hoped for. Justin is VERY organized and clear with his communication. Just as--or maybe more--important, he is a poster child for what zeewoi can be: more than just an economical way to get a pet sitter or a place to stay. Justin embraces the barter economy and the opportunity it presents to get to know people. Although we only met the day that I turned the house and my 2 cats over to his care, we had delightful communication throughout his stay. He wanted to be sure he was providing the right care to all living and non-living elements of my home as well as just chat beyond what we'd had an opportunity to cover when we were face to face on the handoff day. Bottom line: I'd have Justin back even if I wasn't going anywhere! I've met a friend. And my neighbors did as well! Oh yes, and my two cats were well looked after, the house was in ship shape, and Justin was able to brief the next sitter in person (I'd had to extend my time away and Justin already had another commitment). To say I felt confident leaving my pets and home in Justin's care is an understatement. Justin is a real adventurer and believer in the power of both human and animal connection. Without a doubt, I would recommend him as a sitter...and a friend! Thank you, Justin for a great example of how to wrestle so much more meaning out of zeewoi.
Kathryn was such nice and kind sitter that both of my boyfriend and me were grateful to have, including my cats!! My cats seemed having great time with her, being around her, chilling on couch with her, or even sitting on her. I got several photos of my cats from her with whort updates. I’m thankful that she let me do facetimes with her when I missed my cats. The house was clean and tidy when we came back. I definately will ask her again to sit my cats and house when I need. Thank you Kathryn!!:)
Caroline is an amazing sitter ! We were far away, had never left our cat for such a long period of time and we felt really confident with her. She took great care of our cat Honey as well as she did for the house, pool and garden. She was even able to handle the end of the refection of the bathroom which was a last minute surprise… We felt Caroline was reliable and self sufficient. We had a great communication with her during our stay abroad. We even found many nice intentions when we came back from our vacations such as fresh fruits and bakeries for a nice and welcomed breakfast after a night in a plane ! We definitely recommend Caroline for your sittings and we will obviously call her back !
Tonya was great and filled in after our other sitter had to cancel. She was very self sufficient and navigated acclimating herself to everything since she arrived after we left. She gave thoughtful updates on my cat and I could tell she really enjoyed her, so that means the world to me! She left the place immaculate and we will certainly have Tonya back!
Caroline was a fabulous sitter and looked after our cat and the house beautifully. She is sensible and very self-sufficient but also kept us informed. We came home to a happy cat and a tidy house. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others and hope she will sit for us again in the future!
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, $25/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!
We are so happy with Briana. Our girls’ first time boarding with Briana was so easy. She took care of our dogs and made them feel at home. She’s also diligent in sending pics and updates while we’re away. Gives me peace of mind knowing that they are safe and well taken cared of. Couldnt be happier with Briana! She is the best 💕👌 …
Briana has watched our dog for over 5 years! She is so loving and kind towards the animals. As we drive up to her house our dog wants to jump out before we even fully stop to run up to her and her house. She gets so excited! It's like when a kid is going to Disneyland. They get water play time and fun games and then of course relax time. Thank you Briana for all that you do! Your prices are fair and your love towards our baby girl is unconditional. We feel safe leaving her with you and we know she always has a blast. Thank you for all that you do.
Briana is great! We were able to take a small vacation comfortably, knowing our fur baby, Rocco was in good hands. Briana would send us updates and photos several times throughout the day. Rocco seemed very happy made a few friends during his stay. I’m glad we were able to use her services and can comfortably say, she will definitely be our go to sitter moving forward.
Brianna is amazing! We previously took our dog Jack to a larger daycare for either boarding or daycare and he always seemed so stressed when he came back. When he comes back from Brianna’s he is so happy and energetic! She sends updates all day which is so nice and makes you feel extra comfortable knowing your pup is in good hands all day. I would recommend Leash I Can Do to anyone looking for a daycare or overnight for their dog!!
I took my yorkie Bentley here recently since my family and I were going on a trip - let me say Brianna is the kindest and most involved caretaker in the business :) She always sent photos and videos every single day during my trip and it would take away any worries I had of my dog not being happy or taken care of. He’s not very social and has separation anxiety, but it looks like he warmed up very quickly to the other dogs and made a lot of friends! By the end of my trip it seemed like he was sad to be leaving them and as I type this he currently misses them a lot. Brianna is very good at following instructions - especially since Bentley was going through daily medicinal treatments he normally doesn’t go through. She’s very fast at responding and answers any questions you may have. She’s also kind to all the dogs and treats them all very well, and I like that she makes sure the little dogs and big dogs are separated so my little one won’t get hurt. He even came back looking cleaner than when we dropped him off! Bentley always looked so happy playing with the other dogs and we will definitely be taking him back.
i have been using Briana for a few years now and i am so thankful that i have found a dog sitter who is reliable. when i travel i don't worry about my baby at all. i love how she plays with them and sends me pictures so i can peace of mind when i cannot see him. Thank you so much for always taking care of our little guy and making him feel so comfortable when he spends time with you. If you're looking for someone you can trust with your dog she is definitely someone you can build a relationship with and so can your little bestfriend!
Absolutely so happy with my recent doggy experience at the leash I can do. From dropping off my doggy to pick up I felt super safe leaving my Betsy! I was updated everyday with pics and videos and I could see how much fun my girl was having! I would highly recommend bringing your doggy here I totally love a home environment and not like those other boarding places where a dog can’t play outside. There is a nice yard for potty breaks and ample playtime I was very satisfied with my experience and so was Betsy! Look no further Briana is a great dog sitter and loves her doggies!
what can i say?! if i can give 1000 stars i would! I have been bringing my Jameson since he was small and I just fell in love with the way Briana treats my fur child! She is awesome in so many ways and every single time I pick up my boy hes always super happy and exhausted from all the fun he has!! I recommend her services 100%! She is amazing!!!! And on top of it all, she sends updates with videos/pictures!!! Makes you feel comfortable and at ease knowing your pup is in good hands!!
Briana is simply the best ! She’s always updating me with pics and videos and has great communication throughout the whole stay. Ollie truly enjoys her and all his stays with his pooch friends . Seeing how happy he gets when he sees her means the world to me knowing my pooch is safe, well taken care of & loved !! Thank you for being the best ! Ollie and I really appreciate you !!!
Briana is one of the best!!! Communication was excellent and our Lola had a great time with her. She gave us updates of our Lola all the time, sharing photos and videos. Her prices are very fair and we absolutely feel that she loves our Lola, especially because this is the first boarding of our little Chihuahua. Lola is excited to see her again soon. Thank you Briana!
This review comes a bit late but necessary. I boarded my three dogs with Karla. This was the second time using her but the first time with our new pup. When I say Karla is an angel, I really mean she has great patience and a caring demeanor. She has a great backyard for playing and gates throughout the house to separate and keep doggies from getting into trouble. My three are very active and talkative, I just hope they didn’t scare Karla off! We need more caretakers like Karla and her wonderful family. Thank you Karla!
Karla is incredibly sweet and kind! Prior to boarding our pup, we set up a meet and greet so that we she could show us where our dog was allowed to play and run around. She explained to us that they have access to indoor and an outdoor fenced area. The backyard is big with a lot of grass and shade and our dog, Theo, loved running around back there. During our trip, Karla made sure to keep us updated with a lot of daily videos and pictures which was so fun to watch! My dog loves to stay at her house and I'm never worried about him while she's watching him. Great communication and she is able to answer any questions that we might have. We trust Karla for all of our boarding/dog watching needs and recommend her to all of our friends that have dogs! Thanks so much, Karla!
Pig & Rose Daycare & Boarding is the best! I 100% trust that our pup is taken care of by Karla and her family and that she loves him like her own. Daycare & boarding at Karla’s home is so much better than boarding facilities with a large amount of dogs as our boy can be shy but it’s such a great place for him to socialize with other dogs but also be in a comfortable environment. It also is so wonderful that Karla sends photos while we are away missing him. Can’t recommend enough!
We were so thrilled with the care our dog received on his recent stay! Karla was amazing and so attentive to our dog's needs. We loved receiving occasional pictures and videos to see how he was doing. Our dog came home so happy!! Process was super easy and we would highly recommend Pig & Rose Doggy Daycare!
Karla is AMAZING! We thought we’d never be able to take another vacation without the dogs. We were so worried about leaving one of our pups since he is such an anxious guy. We started taking him regularly to work on his anxiety issues. Karla is so good and patient with him. She is in constant contact when we leave him, sending videos and pictures so we can see his progress. With her help, he’s becoming more confident and learning to socialize with other dogs. It’s not easy leaving our baby, but we feel much better knowing he’s in her care!
We had such a great experience with Pig and Rose Doggy Daycare and Boarding. We needed to board for a week and were originally going to leave our dog at a dog hotel but was dreading her being locked in a cage or a room by herself. A neighbor had sent out a message about Pig and Rose and it was just perfect timing. Karla is amazing. She is so compassionate and caring. She sent texts and videos all week to keep us informed. She really went above and beyond for our dog and we are so extremely grateful. We highly recommend Pig and Rose!!
Original Post - Boarding Experience: Karla is the best!! It was much easier to enjoy our vacation knowing that our pup was in her safe, caring hands. Update - Daycare Experience: In the past, my dog has struggled with anxiety around big dogs, but after going to daycare with Karla a few times, she's really starting to come out of her shell. Karla's experience and level of care really shines and you can tell that she puts a lot of thought and love into foundational things like introducing the dogs to each other and choosing fun places to go for walks. I love the video updates she sends throughout the day!
Karla was the best sitter we could have asked for for our fur babies! She was so caring and treated them like part of her family. We were given plenty of updates and photos as well as videos of our babies while we were away. Since leaving our dogs with a sitter is very new to us, Karla helped us feel at ease by making sure we packed things that would make our doggies feel comfortable. We knew our babies were in great hands with her! Will definitely book with Karla again.
Karla was amazing with our puppy. She was able to accommodate us last minute and our puppy immediately felt like home and had such a blast staying here overnight. I feel like the home is a safe space for our small dog, and I would bring her back anytime we need boarding/daycare.
Karla is amazing with animals. I have three dogs and she treats them with so much warmth and love. And, they LOVE her back! She has helped me for years with walking and caring for my dogs when I am away on business. She is patient, thoughtful and consistent when they are in her care and I trust her wholeheartedly. I recommend Karla to anyone looking for a safe and happy place for their pups to stay when they need extra help!
10/10 RECOMMEND Professional - Knowledgeable - Reliable - Friendly Like many dog parents going on vacation is difficult when trying to ensure your pets are well cared for in a loving and safe environment. TIFF provides just that and more! TIFF pet sat my 3 small dogs ages 16, 15, 3 from 9/1-9/9 in her home. She had a comfy dog bed set up, fresh water bowl, and toys ready to welcome the pups. Her complex has a fenced in courtyard where the dogs can easy sniff around and get some exercise. Very nice neighborhood for walks too. TIFF put my worries at ease answering all my questions at our meet and greet prior to their stay. She even went the extra mile and visited the pups at my home a few weeks before so they can get more familiar with her. While I was out of the country we received text/photo updates and a video call. Unexpectedly there was a heat wave and could sense how well she was handling the situation and making sure the dogs were as comfortable as possible considering the circumstances. We are thankful to Tiff for providing such great service and will book again.
Tiff is our go to dog walker when we are too busy or out of town. She is dependable and sends me updates and photos of her time caring for Bella and Brutus. She has trimmed Bella's nails for me when asked. I appreciate that she has expanded her services to include pawpedis. :) It is nice to work with someone you trust.
Tiff has been essentially a co parent of my dog and I trust her more with knowing how to take good care of her than myself. My dog loves going there so I feel zero guilt if we need to leave town and I'm so grateful for Tiff. She's extremely flexible when things come up (eg new baby seen here!) and if it weren't for her, I probably wouldn't be able to have a dog or kid or at least one would be neglected 😑. Also she does her due diligence to make sure whoever she is boarding gets along well with others. Thank you Tiff!! Almost don't want to recommend you to others since then you may get too busy but I try to behave ethically and unselfishly 😛. Highly recommend! Especially if you have a dog you don't want to leave overnight at a daycare.
Tiff is everything that you want in a pet sitter and if I could give her more than 5 stars, I would. We have a Siberian husky with significant separation anxiety issues and I think it says it all when our dog can't wait to leave the comfort of our car to run up to Tiff's door :) Tiff is incredibly responsible, dependable, and goes out of her way to accommodate our needs. There have been a few times where our plans got delayed and we had to pick our dog up later than expected. However, Tiff was so understanding and flexible and made sure that we didn't rush, worry, or cut our activities short. She treats our dog like one of her own- giving him lots of love and pets, taking him to the dog park, and even treating him to Puppuccinos. We checked out a LOT of doggy daycares when we first adopted our dog and Tiff's Doggy Daycare & Pet Boarding is by far the BEST. We have used her services for over a year now for both daycare and pet boarding and we have a great experience every time.
Tiff and Jimmy are honest, reliable, and terrific pet sitters. When I was in the hospital, they came to my home twice a day to feed, clean up after, and socialize with my beloved dog, macaw, and parrot. Tiff kept in touch with me daily via e-mail and/or text letting me know how my critters were doing and even sent photos! I highly recommend Tiff’s Doggy Daycare!!! Bonnie
Tiffany is absolutely wonderful. I feel safe and my best friend Is when he is at Tiff’s Doggie Daycare & Pet Boarding. I use her service for boarding my buddy for several days at a time. I have never had a single issue. She an awesome caregiver flyover my Kobi!! Love you guys!!
Tiffany was great with my dog. She took the time to do meet and greet (she really took the time to get to know my dog and I was well informed as well). I feel VERY comfortable leaving my baby with her. Tiffany sent updates and pictures during the stay, that ease my mind greatly since it was our first time. My dog seems very happy on the day I dropped him off. It seemed like he was not in the hurry to go home with me when I picked him up, lol. That's how comfortable my dog felt under Tiffany's care. Our plan changed last minute and Tiffany was very kind to accommodate our pick up time. Tiffany's awesome care gave me the peace of mind when leaving my dog with her while I traveled for work. I was able to focus on my work and was not worried about my dog at all. I will definitely use Tiffany again for my future needs.
Butters stayed with Tiff a year ago and loved her. We now also have a 60 lb. bull dog. I was concerned that he was too big, but Tiff wasn't worried, and from the pictures we got from her, he seemed to love her as much as Butters. If you don't want your dogs at a mass confusion dog hotel, Tiff is the one to go to!! Personal attention and loving care!!
Tiff went above and beyond to help take care of my dog during my trip out of state. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to find a reliable sitter for my rowdy 6 month old pitbull puppy, but Tiff's experience and understanding was exactly what I needed to put my mind at ease. I'd definitely recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable sitter.
Tiffiney has been walking my two dogs for the past few months, and she has been great and reliable! I get very anxious when people approach my dogs because they can seem aggressive towards others, but she is very kind and patient with our dogs, and my dogs seemed to be comfortable with her during the meet and greet. Also, one of my dogs has epileptic seizures, and she has been reliable in making sure he gets his medication on time when I am not able to. I would recommend Tiffiney to anyone in need for a dog walker!
It's clean and there's lots of things for the dogs to play with. The person that showed us around was very nice and answered every question we had. They even offer different packages tailored to fit your dog's needs. For example, I got the calming package for my dog. After taking the tour,I felt much better about leaving my dog with them for the night.
These folks really care about the pets left in their care. They put the effort in for our guy, Mr G, to make him feel comfortable in spite of his reactivity. We really appreciate the staff at Joyful Paws and think you will too!
I was so terrified to leave my 6 month old kitten fo the 6 days, but every staff member I encountered was able to ease my fears!! My kitten did so well, they were so patient and kind with him. He can be a bit spicy when meeting new people, but he adapted do well to their kindness. I most definitely will be returning for a visit to Joyful Paws Hotel!!
While the staff was friendly, I was extremely dissatisfied with this day care. Please DO NOT take your dog here under any circumstances. The first time I took my husky here, his nails were bleeding when I picked him up. When I asked staff, they had no idea what the cause was and barely noticed it when they turned in my dog to me. He must have been pawing at a fence for a long time and gotten ignored! The other two times I took him, he came out a complete mess and extremely dirty. The picture below is the last time ever brought him in on August 18 2023. He had a horrible stain on his left cheek that almost TWO MONTHS LATER has not completely gone away!!! If you look closely, he still has a light pink/brown stain on his left cheek. I’ve tried professional groomers, whitening shampoo, and nothing works. I assume it must have been some type of tar or oil that my husky got into. Once again, I asked staff if they knew what he was getting himself into, and they were unaware of what caused the mess. They didn’t notice it until they gave me my dog at pickup. Lastly, I know someone who’s dog suffered a spinal injury here and they deleted the footage!! Regardless if you believe the spinal injury story, the evidence of how Joyful Paws neglected my dogs needs is right here. I will be taking my dog to the vet and after the evaluation, I will reach out to Joyful Paws and request compensation because this is ridiculous especially for the price they charge. If you care about your dog’s safety please don’t leave them here.
Staff was super friendly and helpful. It was a first for my pup and they made us feel comfortable and secure. Will be using them on a regular basis. Ive been going here for over a year and continue to be impressed with the staff who look after our Ollie! oliver loves the staff and all his friends at Joyful Paws.
My Chihuahua loves to go here and be social with his friends when I'm busy. Recently boarded him for three nights and he was returned happy and healthy. Will return for more visits! They are very well organized
My dog stayed here for the first time this past week. I was very impressed with the professionalism of Joyful Paws and completely trusted that my dog was safe and well taken care of here. I was able to watch my dog during play time every day with the Wag Vision live cameras. I loved the daily report cards and photos! Also, she was given a great thanksgiving meal, a bath, nail trim, and goody bag upon departure. I recommend Joyful Paws to all my fellow pet parents! Definitely will continue coming here for lodging and maybe even daycare! They are also great with following COVID precautions - limited people in the lobby allowed, curbside pickup/drop off, wearing masks, etc.
My dog LOVES Joyful Paws - he’s always so excited to go. The staff is super friendly and very attentive! I love that they do breaks during the day so the dogs aren’t overstimulated and given time to rest between play times.
This was Mimi’s first time boarding and Joyful Paws took great care of her. We received a daily report card with pictures letting us know how she was doing. Highly recommend and will definitely use their services again!
1st day meet and greet. Staff was very pleasant i was given a tour this morning, and the young lady answered all of my concerns. Made me feel comfortable leaving ny dog in their care. The facility was clean. I had the ability to view my dog through Webcam which is a big plus. He was a little shy, but with time i do believe he will adjust. TY for caring and for taking care of Taco
The best! Mihail is flexible, caring, and trustworthy. I’m very particular about who I leave my dog with and I’ve loved having him and his team to take care of my girl. The pick up and drop off makes coordinating with my 13 hour work days so much easier. My dog is always excited to go with him & comes home tired!
We were looking for a dog trainer as well as pet boarding. Mihail, owner of Long Beach Pet Care was highly recommended for our 6-month-old Brittany, Rhett. He loved his new play friends. He enjoyed group walks & lots of socializing and training at his 2 week-long summer camp. Mihail took such great care of our Rhett. I never worried about him. We live in Brea, the distance was not at all a problem for us. We highly recommend LBPC. Taking Rhett there will be a pleasure.
We found Long Beach Pet Care, shortly after moving to Long Beach a few years ago. The thing was we needed a dog walker that had experience with senior large breeds, specifically Akita‘s. If you own a Akita or large breed like an Akita, you know the struggle of finding reliable dog walkers, kennels or dog sitters that are willing to work with your breed. We were so happy to have found Mihail and his team with Long Beach Pet Care! They have a initial meet and greet, to make sure it’s a good fit. Our dog loved her walks with Mihail and team. She also got to enjoy group walks! I noticed a huge difference when I took her for walks after being walked by Mihail, she would walk at my pace. We had such a great experience with the walks, we added on daycare at times and overnight boarding. They truly care about the animals they walk or board, and as a owner you can have peace of mind that your dog will be exercised and enjoy fun times.
Although, a generous Tip and and Thank you might seem like enough for a job well done with our fur-babies. I felt the need to share our very recent experience so that you a current or potential client of Long Beach Pet Care can rest assured that you have found the Absolute Best!!! in Pet Care and Boarding. Monday, April 25th, 2022. Received a call from my sister in law that my brother who is a cancer survivor and current dialysis patient is Septic throughout his body and Gangrene along with other heart issues has given him only days to live. As I am throwing stuff in a bag with one hand and renting a car to drive to Idaho with the other. I am thinking I have to go online and try and book care for my fur babies asap! I can’t even think at this point. I just call Mihail and leave him what I am sure is a very frantic message of needing care for my babies. I make contact with Mihail and he is so quick to assure me that he has “the crew” which he calls my 3 babies. I tell him I don’t know when I will be back and he says don’t worry I’ve got them. Just keep in touch. Yes! I have used Mihail’s services once before and that was a Huge Success!! So, his few words put me at ease that I didn’t have to worry. His constant communication during the time I was gone was priceless to me. I’m sure it was just his way of continuing to offer support and ease at a time that I needed it most. Far from what you could expect from an overpriced boarding/kennel service. Not only were my babies able to stay in their own home. Mihail’s, prices and commitment to care for them as his own. Made a very difficult time, the best experience for me and my babies!! Thank you Mihail!!!❤️
My Sunday loved Mihail! He's such a gem. I know she's safe and well taken care of when with him. Also, I get updates daily, great communication!
Long Beach Pet Care and its owner Mihail were a godsend to me three years ago when I was trying to find a dog walker for my new rescue pit-bull, Petunia. She is my baby, and I was not going to leave her in the hands of just anyone. Mihail took the time to come and meet Petunia -- free of charge -- to ensure she was a good fit for him and the other dogs she would be around, which she was. That was three years ago, and since then Petunia and Bowie (another pit mix who joined our family a few months later) have enjoyed countless doggy daycare outings and hikes with Mihail and the pack. You have to check out his Instagram account @longbeachpetcare to really get a sense of how amazing he is; I call him the 'LBC Dog Whisperer.' Even more important, Petunia and Bowie love and adore Mihail. Before I leave for work, I tell them both, "have fun with Mihail today," and its instant smiles and wiggle-butts. I have such peace of mind knowing my babies are in good hands and being taken care of like they are members of the family. I HIGHLY recommend Long Beach Pet Care for your pet needs; you -- and your fur babies -- will not be disappointed.
Mihail is wonderful, plain and simple. We consider him a member of the family and know our dog is completely safe and well-cared for when with him, and that's priceless!
Very dependable in the two times I've hired this service. The communication is prompt and consistent. I'm able to trust them with my pets and to enter my home. I would recommend as a good option for people in the Long Beach area.
They really care! Like you take your pet here and they will do a great job!
Our pet sitter for almost 7 years.
Reliable and loving caregiver for your pets, my cat loves her.
Awesome pet sitter, highly recommend.
Reliable, trust worthy and worth it.
Dana and daughter Jazzy are the most compassionate and loving people. They took care of our two beloved Bassets for a week while we went out of state. It gave me peace of mind to know that our two babies were in the best hands. There is nothing like getting daily pictures an updates to show that both Bassets were safe and at home with people who really cared for them. Thank you Dana and Jazzy for your top-notch care.
I had a very good experience with Live Love Pet Care. Their online portal was easy to use. The pet sitters I worked with were very professional, good people who seem to care a lot about the animals, and my cat seemed very happy when I got back from my trip. Looking forward to working with them again.
As a someone with a special needs cat, the bar that I set for pet care is incredibly high. There is no one who I would trust more than Live Love Pet Care. Dana's love for animals will shine through within minutes of meeting her. She is so genuinely kind and caring that you will be left with no doubts that your furry family is in great hands. She offers regular photos and updates, which makes being away from my boy so much more bearable. Thank you Dana for all that you do!
Dana connected really well with my dogs, even my shy guy who likes to protect his turf. It was nice to get photos from each visit. It's a big relief to have trustworthy pet care while we are away.
Live Love Pet Care is the best pet care service around! They are attentive, patient, and 100% reliable and trustworthy. Dana and her team provide wonderful and loving care. I highly recommend Live Love Pet Care to anyone looking for pet-sitting and dog-walking services!!!
Our three dogs received excellent care without having to be boarded when we were out of town recently. I really appreciate the warm friendliness and attention the caretakers gave to the needs of our dogs. Thank you, Live Love Pet Care💗 …
When I travel I have complete peace of mind knowing my pets are being cared for by capable, loving hands. The added bonus that my dogs can stay in their own home reduces the stress considerably for me and the dogs who own me.
If you want someone who's gonna take care of your fur babies like if they were her own Dana is the person you need to hire. She is very trustworthy dependable and loving.
Live Love Pet care is so professional and reliable! I love the picture update after each visit.
Awesome pet care service! Very professional and caring. I highly recommend.
Always comfortable with leaving my pet. Excellent carrying service.
This is the best place in Whittier. Where your pets are treated like their own.
Stephanie changed my life. This woman is a godsend, she not only quickly helped me in a time of need where I needed someone to watch my baby during a difficult situation without question but she actually changed our lives! My dog is extremely overactive and I have never been able to socialize him with other dogs. It’s been difficult to say the least, he can’t even pass by other dogs on the street. By the end of his stay Stephanie had slowly introduced my dog to other dogs (with my permission) so safely, she was sending me videos of my crazy baby playing and running around with other dogs. I was in tears, a life changing moment I never thought I’d reach. I am so thankful for her, her kindness and her love for my baby. Additionally she took such great care of my crazy crazy boy (again who’s not easy to deal with) he never looked stressed and always never wants to leave. It gets to the point now when we turn the corner to daycare he gets so excited.. because he knows!! I will never go anywhere else. This is the place. Trust me.
We met Stephanie at one of her K9 Hangout events and we knew right away that he was the perfect person to take care of Pepper (4mo German Shepherd/Australian Cattle Dog). She’s knowledgeable and sweet and our dog loved her right away. She sent updates throughout the day and our dog had a blast. We’ll definitely be using her boarding services again and our family is looking forward to the next event.
We really were lucky to find such a wonderful place for our dog Coco to stay when she needed to be boarded. Stephanie gave us updates and videos of her, which made us feel even better. We'll definitely be coming back for much more since Coco seemed to love it
I honestly don’t even know where to start. If you’re on the fence and have been searching for a homey feel or just somewhere you can get the positive vibe. Let me just say this is THE place to be and go too. Stephanie is the best and definitely a sweetheart. It doesn’t do it justice but my 2 babies had the best time with her over the weekend and I would definitely absolutely recommend the K9 hangout to any fur baby parent looking for boarding or daycare! Top notch attention and love 100%
I loved using K9 hangout for my lab/pit mix. My favorite place by far, I'd highly recommend and will continue to use their services. Thank you for taking care of my pup!
The best place to leave your dogs when you’re on vacation. They’re never in the kennel unless it’s their choice. Sometimes my dogs like to sleep in their kennel, or else they’re walking around, playing, or chilling on their bed. I get update every day, pix and video. Stephanie is the best! Highly recommended 😊 …
Stephanie took such great care of my dogs. So much appreciation 🙏🏻 …
Friendly staff Answered all my Questions. Teated my dog like it was their's
