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!
Pares is an experienced and quality sitter and we knew our cat Juniper (and a few plants) was well cared for. We received regular updates and photos which was really nice to have during our travels. While we missed Juniper, we could see that she enjoyed receiving cuddles and attention from Pares. Upon returning home, our flat was clean and tidy, and Juniper was very happy! Thank you for taking care of her!
I was fortunate to have Hillary return for a second sit. She took excellent care of both my cat and my home. She got on well with my neighbors and even allowed my friend to come visit Suley while she was there. I especially appreciate how flexible and accommodating she was regarding arrangements for a sitter who would be taking over for the second part of my very long absence. All in all, Hillary is a gem!
Sabre is a sweet, honest person who stepped up at the very last moment (after the prior sitter flaked out) to watch our dog and cat for 17 days. When there were a couple minor accidents, she informed us of them right away. One involved a burnt pan (easy to do if you’re not familiar with an induction stovetop) which she offered to replace. Sabre also washed the towels and sheets, and made up the bed before we got home. The yard was pooper scooped and litter box was clean. Pets seemed well-cared for. When she had to leave town for several hours one day, she made sure to arrange for our neighbor take care of the pets. Additionally, I appreciated how she didn’t assume that it would be ok to bring her cat. When we found out she was going to keep her cat in a kennel during her stay here, we told her she could bring him which worked out fine. Overall, I would confidently recommend Sabre to watch your pets and house.
Sharon and Milton are two of the nicest people I've met in my life. This is my first time having a sitter fly in from out of state and it was so simple, stress-free, and didn't affect any part of me getting ready for my trip, leaving for my trip or returning from my trip. Sharon was very communicative before, during and after I returned. It just couldn't have been more wonderful! If you're considering applicants stop looking and choose Sharon and Milton. They are just delightfully wonderful wonderful people!! They go above and beyond just housesitting and pet sitting! Tidy, clean, respectful down to earth and the most kind and loving people. I do believe Milton really is a cat whisper!! They slept with my sweet babies, and even followed silly grooming instruction on one of my cats. Would have them sit for me absolutely anytime.
Kathy and Ron arrived at our home with a most fantastical toy for our cats and a giant apple pie. Need I say more? They are very experienced sitters and brought personal items that they prefer. We knew we were leaving out cats in good hands. A large part of their 'job' was hand watering our garden and Ron took that in stride. Everything is thriving. Our cats are usually distant with new people but we received photos of them keeping Kathy and Ron company in various situations which was reassuring. They clearly won our cats over. Although Ron and Kathy had a ferry to catch on their last day, they took time to wash their linens and hang them on the clothesline. They also left us a gorgeous plant for our garden. We would very much like to have them back for a longer sit if possible.
Florence is everything you want in a cat sitter! We have two cats that need a lot of human attention. One takes multiple medications twice a day and they both are used to eating on their own schedule and having people around so it is always very important to us to find a pet sitter that will be spending a lot of time in the apartment and that doesn't mind being very attentive. We were able to meet Florence before our trip and felt 100% confident that she would take great care of our cats. Florence is comfortable giving medication, she sent us photos and updates and left our apartment spotless. We were so happy that we had her come back the following week when we went away again for a short trip! We will definitely contact Florence again whenever we travel and hope that she is available!
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!
Rick and Sally are marvelous cat sitters and we would gladly have them back anytime. We highly recommend them to any and all pet owners. They arrived when they said they would and were ready to go when we returned, making sure our cats were present before departing. Our home was left spotless, undoubtedly better than we left it for them. We can't urge you enough to engage them if you can!
I whole-heartedly recommend Carly and her partner Fanny to sit for you! They were fabulous and reliable house sitters from start to finish. Carly was timely and thoughtful in all of her communications and let us know the state of affairs in our apartment with our cat and plant babies while we were away. They followed our directions to a 'T.' We came home to find a happy cat, thriving plants, a spotless apartment and laundered linens. We would definitely consider contacting them again to house sit for us!
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, $31/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!
Melinda is amazing! She puts me at ease by sending pictures and letting me know how my dogs are doing several times a day. She goes above and beyond any other pet sitter I’ve had. She takes great care of my dogs and they love her! Look no further than Stay and Play Pet Sitting!
My husband and I needed someone to watch our kittens (ages 6-7 mo) for a few days of our wedding festivities and our honeymoon. I stay at home every day with the girls, which are Siamese mixed with torbie (a very human-dependent breed), so getting human attention for them is critical. We had Kat stay with them for most of the time and Melinda watch kitties on one occasion. Kat is absolutely incredible with the girls. Our little runt (two pounds smaller than sister and very uncoordinated) has even become more confident and stable on her feet due to Kat’s attention. She also let Kat pet her, something that she only allows with time/trust. Our more human-reliant kitten also appreciate her attention/focus and we came back to a house completely unscathed - telling me the girls felt they didn’t need to destroy anything for attention. We will definitely be using Kat’s services for any future needs. She’s incredible, took in our trash and mail. Told us we had ant issues and helped avoid further infestation. Offered to water plants. Our babies and our home were in good hands with her.
I have 2 Goldens. Melinda and her staff have been taking care of them for 2 years now. My girls love the care and attention that they get when I can't be there. They really enjoy their walks and playtime. I buy treats from the business that Melinda represents as well and my girls never turn them down!
I was looking for a dog sitter that offered wedding services and I am so happy I found this business! Melinda took such great care of my dogs Sasha & Bruce! She was great at communicating and she knew exactly how to deal with my hyper dogs. Thank you again for your help!
I would highly recommend Stay & Play Pet Sitting. Beverly did an excellent job with our 2 cats, Bella and Luna. I receive a text message when she arrived, photos of the girls while she was there, and when she was leaving she sent me a summary. I appreciate the professionalism and the care she gave to our girls while we were on vacation.
Melinda took care of my 2 cats, Boris & Otis about a month ago. My cats really liked her a lot. I was able to go out of town with confidence that they were well taken care of. Melinda was referred to me by a friend & now I am referring others to her. She’s very professional & loves all animals. I highly recommend her.
Wonderful Experience with Stay and Play Pet Sitting! Kat was amazing with our two cats. She would give us daily reports filled with lots of pictures of each playing or eating or just being. She even gained the trust of our extremely shy cat in only a day. I would highly recommend this service. Great peace of mind!
Melinda is amazing. She takes exceptional care of our 2 dogs and our cat. She sends frequents updates with pictures. We use Melinda for overnights and have peace of mind when we travel.
I highly recommend Stay and Play Pet Sitting! The pet care provided by Melinda and staff are excellent!!! Their love for animals is evident in the care and love they provide. I don’t know what I would do without Stay and Play Pet Sitting!!!
I have used Melinda and her team for over two years while I am out of town, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the consistent care provided to my four indoor cats. From our initial meeting, it was clear that Melinda is a professional who takes her job seriously and her detail with her notes and instructions is top notch. Melinda is extremely punctual. I have a diabetic cat who needs insulin every 12 hours, so punctuality is extremely important when it comes to his medicine. I can always trust Melinda and her team to be on time to administer my cat’s insulin. Melinda’s compassion and love for animals was evident in how quickly all of our cats warmed up to her, a feat considering their usually shy nature. Melinda and her team not only make sure our cats are well-fed and their litter boxes clean but also spend quality time playing and cuddling, ensuring the cats feel cared for. The daily updates with photos and videos are a thoughtful touch that always put my mind at ease. What impressed me most was Melinda's knowledge about cat behavior and her proactive approach in managing their slight anxiety, making sure all the cats felt comfortable and secure. The house is always spotless upon my return, with all four cats looking happy and healthy. In summary, Melinda’s reliable, compassionate, and skilled care continuously exceeds my expectations. I highly recommend Melinda and Stay & Play Pet Sitting to any pet parent in need of a trustworthy sitter. The cats and I look forward to having Melinda and her team over again!
Can't say enough about Carla and the care my dog got. She sent me videos of my dog playing with the others each day. Never once did I worry about my pup, but instead knew she was having a great, great time and being attentively watched over.
Our dog really liked this place. It's in their home so they don't allow too many dogs at a time. Like most of the places you have to interview first but we had no problem. The staff was fantastic. We would most definitely go back and definitely recommend it.
Loving people who offer a spotlessly clean large home, have a warm hearth to curl up by when it’s cold, large open spaces indoors and out, huge gardens and run around room and security gates.
Perfect place to leave our dog for the day. He was safe and enjoyed being around the other dogs. Nice people also.
Karla is the most amazing person. Took good care of my dog. Thank you very much Karla god bless you.
Amazing
Five stars is well deserved! Mike provides everything every dog owner is looking for. His calm, confident and methodical approach to bond with our less than social dog was nothing less than jaw dropping. Mike frequently updates us when caring for our dog which provides reassurance that our pet is well cared for. He provides full-service pet care to include walking, training, and pet visits. His flexibility to work with our plans has been outstanding. Mike’s pet care services are professional and top notch. Highly recommend!
We're very picky about whom we trust to care for our cat when we're out of town. Four on the Floor Pet Care came highly recommended from our previous pet sitter, who moved out of state. We can't say good enough things about Mike and Mandi. They are so thoughtful, professional, and caring. Our cat doesn't warm up to people easily, but he had no problems becoming friends with them right from the start. It's a huge relief to know we can call on Mike and Mandi to look after our cat when we're out of town, and the way they cared for Buddy allows us to not worry when we're away - we know he'll be in good hands with them. We highly recommend Four on the Floor Pet Care to anyone who is looking for someone to care for their pet(s)!
Mike and Mandi cared for our two cats recently while we were out of town. They came buy for drop-in visits twice a day. One of our cats is diabetic and requires insulin injections and they were able to administer the insulin with no issues. They sent photos with every visit and the cats were well cared for. I would highly recommend them and we will be using them again.
Mike and Mindy have been caring for my two Siamese cats for over a year now since my other pet care person moved onto another position. I’ve been very pleased and they take photos of my babies Each day that they care for them And text them to me After they visit them, so I know that they’re well taken care of. It’s a nice added touch that they Take that extra time in taking photos and sending them to me. It’s also nice that they can water my plants as well and other things I need to ask them such as Bringing in packages if they’re delivered when I’m not there. They’re very conscientious and I would highly recommend them. I’m glad that my former Pet care person recommended them to me. 🙏 Donna
I love my animals so much (two pups and a bird) so when I needed to find someone to come walk my girls, I was super skeptical and nervous. I also wanted someone who can maintain my work with my German shepherd, she can be reactive while on leash. When I met with mandy and mike, both put my anxiety at rest with their confidence and general care for my girls wellbeing. I walked and showed them how each works on their leash and how they place and return to their crates. They both have been so considerate with my particular needs and so flexible with my ever changing schedule. I been using them for now a couple years as a consistent walker and or pet sitter and they have yet to let me down. I recommend them to anyone who is near by.
We started out having Mike walk our two dogs. They are a little wild on walks and he took it upon himself to work with them some on his own accord. He sends a picture each day that is cool when I'm away. He has also house and and walked the dogs. His pricing is very reasonable compared to other service providers. I'm not one to give reviews but Mike is super and deserving. Meet him and you will see his causal but strong love of animal come through immediately. Can't say enough about him...use him, you won't be disappointed.
Great, reliable service! Highly recommend them in the San Diego area.
Rhiannon is the best. I have had her pet sit for me since moving to the area almost 4 years ago. Short trips, long trips, she has always been there (even holidays!). My animals absolutely love her. I trust her completely when it comes to not only my animals, but my whole house. While we are away, she comes to take care of the pets, picks up the mail and all sorts of things. I could not recommend her any higher. You will not be disappointed.
Rhiannon is a very caring and trustworthy pet sitter who really enjoys being with your pets. I never worry about my dogs when they are at Rhiannon's house whether it is just for the day or overnight.
Excellent care for your doggies! Colleen is the sweetest, most caring, animal-loving person I have met here! I recommend this facility with all my knowledge and heart!
Dogs are free to roam and seem happy.
Julie has dog sat for our fur babies for 10 plus years! I could not imagine leaving them with anyone but loving kindness pet care! We travel as much as three weeks to a month at a time and our dogs have always acclimated to and from staying with her beautifully! For our pups, it’s as if they’re going away to camp. They see us packing them up and they get so excited to be going over to Julie’s! You won’t find a more loving and caring person to care for your pets.
We were scared to leave our doodle pup for the first time, but Julie did an amazing job! Pups stay in her HOME... which is immaculate and odor free. We received regular updates and photos, and he had a blast playing with her doggie. We will absolutely use her again!
There is no equal in the valley. Personal touch, reliable, and provides peace of mind when we are away.
The best place to take your fur babies too. Will definitely choose this place every time.
Great care with Julie, she is great with our baby, he looks forward to his visits! 👍🐾 …
This person is NOT a customer of mine! Does not live in Murrieta/Temecula area. I complained to google and they said they could not do anything to rid this false review. They suggested I pay them $500 dollar to contact my other REAL costumers they would have have them review 5 ⭐️And that would dismiss the untrue review from the stranger. I am truly Sorry for those of you who look at this and think this reflects the true overview of Lovingkindness Pet Care. Please Go to my Facebook page or Instagram—Lovingkindness pet care 🙋🏻💕🐾 ( I would never ask or have a company bother my clients for reviews) Hope you will check my other social media sources the all my pictures here ... because a picture says a thousand words😍Thank you! Lovingkindness Pet Care! Julie
This was the first time our puppy, Warlock, had ever been to boarding. He stayed from a Friday night until Sunday night while we enjoyed our weekend in San Diego. He is quite shy at first around people. The staff was very caring and attentive to him. Great communication by staff prior to and during Warlock's stay. Loved the report card and photos that were shared with us.
Chex had a great first day! We love the report card and how they separate dogs based not just on size but energy level too. Facility was clean and staff were great! Looking forward to bringing him again soon.
We wanted to get our 5 months old puppy ready to be board in the event that we need to leave her if we go on any short trip. When I went to their website I was very impressed. I filled out all the documentation that they needed and decided to go down there just to see what it looked like and felt like. Everyone was nice and made me feel comfortable about the whole situation. The free orientation day went very well. Since my husband works all kinds of hours if I am out of town it is nice to know that they are available 24/7. It is nice to have the flexibility of knowing that are beautiful baby will be taken care of very well when we need them. The place seemed very clean and everyone is very nice. That was our experience at the Escondido location. The prices seem to be very good so we would highly recommend this business for your dogs needs.
I cannot say enough great things about 24-hour dog daycare! My dog, Wednesday, absolutely *loves* it here. The moment we pull into the parking lot, she starts wagging her tail with excitement, ready to spend her day with the wonderful staff and other dogs. The team is so attentive, and I know Wednesday is always in great hands. What really stands out is the level of care and attention they give to each dog. Whether it's playtime, nap time, or just some one-on-one love, they truly treat every dog as if they were their own. I love that it's 24 hours, giving me peace of mind that Wednesday is cared for, even during late-night shifts or unexpected work hours. It's her absolute favorite place, and I couldn’t be happier with the service! Highly recommend to any dog parent looking for a trustworthy, caring, and fun environment for their pup. Five stars!
I rarely write reviews on here, but I wanted to give credit where it was due and compliment the excellent service we’ve received at 24HDD time and time again. For the past two months, our senior German Shepherd Remy has attended daycare here several times and boarded here for a weekend. He always has a great time hanging out with the staff and his doggy friends. The online portal is great and so easy to use. The staff is incredibly attentive and quick to respond whenever we have questions or need to book a last-minute appointment. Just tonight, they updated Remy’s vaccine records and emailed me to let me know almost immediately after I uploaded the file. Something as simple as a quick response makes all the difference. Thank you, 24HDD!
This place is awesome. We were in Escondido from out of town and our senior goldendoodle who suffers from severe arthritis stayed in a private boarding suite while we attended a wedding. They were so kind to her and took her out poty a couple times and also let her play a bit in the play room. They handled her gently and kindly. We hated to leave her at her age, but upon seeing the facility and talking with them, they put our minds at ease. When we picked her up, they provided us a "report card". It was very nice of them that they took that extra step. We highly recommend this facility.
My Sally pup had the BEST time here at 24 hour dog daycare. The staff was so sweet and caring and took their time to make sure she was acclimated before introducing her to the other pups. She made so many friends and had the time of her life playing. All the pictures they sent with her report card put a huge smile on my face while I was at work. We will definitely be coming back !
Parker had his first daycare experience here and he loved it. The updates were great and the staff kind. Can’t wait for him to go back!
My Hans just spent his first 24 hours at this facility and we're so impressed. Everything was easy and smooth. Our pup isn't a social dog with other dogs and they had so many safeguards in place. It was a completely stress free drop off and pick up experience. I love that he came home tired, but totally happy and without that stressed out dog smell! Highly recommend and will definitely use them again.
Wow! What a great experience. Was nervous bringing Lola to her first Doggie Day Care, and the staff seemed to genuinely care for the dogs as their own. They wrote up the sweetest report card and then sent these AMAZING pictures at no cost. These are high quality and professional pictures, and was such a nice surprise. We will for sure be coming back.
I've had the pleasure of working with Emily of My Spoiled Pet and have seen and learned so much from her. She cares for all animals from slithery creepy crawlers to furry fluffy critters. Below are some attributes about her stellar pet sitting and dog walking capabilities: A. Strong Work Ethic 1. Loves each pet as her own 2. Passionate about what she does 3. Communicates very professionally and in a timely manner (within minutes of a request) 4. Very sweet and kind hearted 5. Goes above and beyond for each of her clients and treats them like family B. Knowledge 1. Nutrition savvy for each pet's needs 2. Very confident in administering medication 3. Pet CPR certified 4. Fully insured for peace of mind 5. Works with rescue agencies to help find homes for sheltered dogs (the biggest heart) Emily is mega trustworthy and more than worth reaching out to for a free meet and greet with your lovely pet(s). She will definitely spoil them with love and cuddles!
I found My Spoiled Pet while searching Yelp and thank goodness I did. I called to inquire about their dog walking services and Emily was very professional, friendly and excited to meet my dog. I called several other dog walkers and they seem reluctant to walk my Rottweiler and disorganized. Emily gave me many excellent references to call and I like that she is licensed and insured, just in case there is an incident while walking my Rottweiler. After walking my dog and Lee sent me photos of their walk and made sure I knew everything was going smoothly. That is what really sealed the deal for me I will be using my special pet for all my dog walking services from now on thank you Emily!
I truly can’t say enough wonderful things about Emily and her service. I am so glad I found her over a year ago. Trust me when it comes to my pet ChiChi I don’t throw five stars around easily. Emily exceeded every expectation! She is kind, knowledgeable, confident, nutrition savvy for pet’s needs and passionate about what she does. You can really see that she loves animals. I am a world traveler and need a sitter often. She is so incredibly flexible that she will even come and stay at our timeshare. I never worry about my baby because I know he’s with someone that is truly reliable and trustworthy! I highly recommend Emily!
Emily is very loving and responsible. She was great with both my dog and cat. Her passion for all animals is evident in her attention to details, photos, and videos she sends. Emily clearly loves what she does and I highly recommend her. I trust her with my furry kiddos, and I know they are happy and well cared for! My Spoiled Pet is the way to go for pet sitting and dog walking hands down!
Emily is hands down the best pet sitter! She really has a way with animals. Some of our cats have trust issues especially around new people and she won over the whole herd. It brings such peace of mind getting the videos and pictures and seeing our kids be so well taken care of. She navigates the raw feeding, giving meds and supplements, feeding the tortoise, and loving on all of them with ease! I recommend her to anyone with pets!
We just got our fur baby last March, and this was our first time trying professional dog walking & pet care service.. I honestly cannot say enough great things about Emily & the wonderful service she provides. Emily is very professional, genuine & friendly. I immediately felt at ease with the whole process of inviting someone I just met to come into my house and care for our pet. It is clear how much Emily cares about animals, and she treats all animals in her care like they're her own! We were so excited also to receive video and photo messages of our doggie during playtime and walks too! Emily really is the best, I highly recommend!! ❤️
Emily is simply the best. We have 7 cats between 4 months old and 17 years old, all of which eat a raw diet, plus a desert tortoise, and Emily somehow has managed to befriend the whole herd and keep symmetry in our home while we're away. She takes the time to get to know each and every member of the family and earn their trust. She's a true cat whisperer. My wife and I are both pet industry professionals, and Emily is world class when it comes to handling animals. She can even hand feed one of our formerly feral cats that even I can not handle. Simply amazing.
Emily is truly an animal lover and the best caregiver for our fur babies. I’m thrilled to have her write in our neighborhood available to walk our two pups when we are at work or have a last-minute emergency that keeps us out of the house . It puts my mind at ease to have Emily there and she’s so dependable, communicative and sends video updates and photos on every visit which the whole family enjoys!
Emily is so caring and patient. It’s hard for me and I’m sure anyone to trust someone else with their dog but she made me feel so comfortable leaving my baby. My dog (Marley) who is scared and skeptical of most people also loved her which was the best part for me. I would recommend her to anyone who is in need of her services. I’m so happy i found someone who takes care of her like I would and Marley feels safe with someone when I’m not around.
Emily is amazing! I’m always traveling for work, most times it’s last minute, and having someone you can depend on and trust with my dog makes each trip so much easier. She is always on it with updates, photos and videos of my dog. She’s the best and would recommend her to anyone! She’s someone you can trust with your pet!
