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.

Hilary was a fantastic pet sitter for our cat - you would be so lucky to have her care for your pet and home. She took exceptional care of her and our home. Hilary played so much with her and took the best care. She was communicative, easy to coordinate with, and left everything super clean for us when we came back. Five stars is understating how extraordinary she was - we cannot recommend her enough!!
Florence and Robert were outstanding sitters. We asked them to arrive a day early as our guests to learn the routine on our farm. In getting to know them we found them to be good hearted, down to earth people with a love of animals and diligent in learning our routines to care for our poultry, cats and dog as well as our garden and orchard. Not a typical or easy sit. We travelled with ease knowing our critters were being well taken care of. Arriving home, the house was very clean and looked well cared for. The animals were healthy as were the garden and orchard. Out pets missed them when they left – our dog stared down the driveway after them until their car was out of sight. It is nice to find sitters we would like to hang out with and we look forward to having them sit for us again.
Ally was great! We got to meet for a few minutes before I headed out and I felt super reassured that both Goose and my home were in good hands. My cat is picky when it comes to strangers, but he was comfy in Ally’s lap right away the first night! She communicated well and sent cute pictures while I was away. My home was clean and Goose was happy when o got back. I highly recommend Ally as a sitter and she’s welcomed back anytime!
After seeing the numerous positive reviews, I knew Cung would be an easygoing and professional cat sitter and house guest, and he was :-) Easy communication, prompt updates and clear concern for Boz & Artie's wellbeing, and pictures of cozying up on the couch together all made our time away secure and stress free. Upon returning home, the cats were chill and the apt was left spotless, as though he hadn't even been there.
Joi did a wonderful job caring for my two cats and two guinea pigs, as well as caring for my home! She is coming back in November for a long sit while I am out of the country and we all can’t wait. Joi had experience with rabbits and jumped right in with guinea pig care. She is so calm around them that they were sitting on her lap day one! She spent time preparing their vegetables and kept their enclosure and room clean, which requires daily effort. She even washed the floor mats in their room so it was fresh when I returned home. She went above and beyond sending me daily photos and videos so I could see that everyone was healthy and happy. It was apparent to me that she spent a lot of time with my pets, which is very important so they don’t become stressed and lonely when I am away. Joi also took excellent care of my two cats. They receive daily wet food with some medication and she ensured that they received it on time. My cats barely noticed when I returned because they got so much attention from Joi. She took excellent care of my front garden flowers and my tomato and herb hydroponic gardens. These take some daily attention and time in the summer, and I returned home to them looking great! Joi is a very caring, clean, and thoughtful sitter and I hope she comes back many more times!
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!
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.
Angel was absolutely the best house sitter we could have hoped for. She is a very warm, open and diligent person and our two cats adored her. She looked after our house and garden with really conscientious care. She won over our very timid cat, Billie, and sent regular photos of both cats looking supremely content which gave us perfect peace of mind. The house was completely spotless on our return and the garden was fabulous... no mean feat since there was a heatwave while we were away and she kept everything watered and in great condition. We would have Angel back at the drop of a hat and cannot recommend her highly enough.
Karen was able to step in a sit for me on short notice after another sitter canceled. She was very thorough and communicative and I felt I had left my apartment and cats in good hands with her. I came home to a clean apartment and happy cats. I definitely recommend Karen as a sitter.
Karen was an extraordinary house and pet sitter who I hope to invite back again soon. You would be extremely fortunate to have her take care of your pets and home. From the very beginning she radiated calmness, knowledge, caring and curiosity. We had a great initial conversation where Karen answered questions I didn't even know I should be asking, and asked excellent questions so she could be prepared and understand the special needs for both my cat and home. She flew into my city the day before I was leaving and stayed at a nearby hostel so that we could meet in person and do a walk through of my home. They say pets have an intuitive nature about people, and I knew Karen would be a winner when my normally very shy/nervous cat came right up and let her pet him. Karen sent wonderful pictures and updates while I was gone and asked questions when she wasn't sure about something. When I returned home everything was spotless and my cat was content. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better house sitter experience. Thank you Karen!
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least 20$ per visit, $21/week per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
Rebecca was recommended to me through local FB groups by multiple people, and I am so happy that I went with her to take care of my fur baby. I have a pitbull puppy, and she is so great with him. He LOVES going to Rebecca's. He gets so excited when we pull up, he knows he's going to get to see his buddies and run around and play. Rebecca is so attentive as well, she always reaches out in case of any concern just to check in with you. She also sends pictures and videos of your pups playing and it makes you feel so much better know they are just having a blast. Rebecca is super flexible and hasn't told me she booked up once, even though she always has a good amount of dogs staying with her when I bring my boy. I love that. I love that my baby gets to socialize and run and play. Rebecca's prices are also super reasonable. I would highly recommend to anyone needing a new pup nanny.
My pup and I absolutely LOVE this place. I have been taking him there for over 2 years now and I couldn't ask for a better sitter. I love the updates, pics, and videos of my baby boy playing with his pals. He gets so excited when he knows we are coming.
Rebecca took excellent care of my fur babies 🐶🐶 💯 recommend Pupcake's Dog Care ! ❤️ …
Rebecca is super nice and took great care of my baby. Highly recommend
She's the best...really know about our baby dogs...the best part she understand us as pitbul owners...
The best second home for your pet while you are away!
My 3 dogs have been staying here for the past several years when I go out of town. We love it.
An absolute pleasure to leave our fur babies with. Very Professional and Respectful and truly reliable. We received text messages and pictures of our babies every day to show how they were doing and adjusting. They were even bathe when we picked them up after a week 👍🏾. I would highly recommend this pet sitting service, as we plan to use them again when we go on vacation. Thank you for your A++++ service!
Inês is the Best !! We went on a long weekend Out and we couldn’t be more pleased with her. She took great care of our fur babies and we loved the daily reports with pictures. We’re so thankful and we recommend Ines to everyone.
Ines is the absolute BEST! She is extremely professional and thorough. After the meet and greet I knew our animals were going to be in great hands. We were gone for 2 weeks, and every day we received pictures and videos of her caring/playing with all our fur babies. She goes above and beyond when she takes care of your pets. I highly recommend Ines if you're looking for someone to care for your furry family members. I honestly wouldn't trust anyone else but her.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Ines Miller for taking care of my 17 year old cat named Lilly... This is my second time having Ines come to my home to take care of my sweet baby. I never had to worry or be concerned as she always sent me photo's and text me twice a day on her visits. She is reliable and loving which shows in her process of taking care of you pet. I will always use her pet care service and recommend anyone looking to leave you family pet when going away on vacation or just going for a overnight stay. Thank you. Mark Thomas
Ines is the best Petsitter I’ve used over the years. She is very responsive, reliable and took photos and videos of my bird which made me feel at ease leaving a young bird in her care. The cage was spotless and the outside plants were watered. Ines went above and beyond to provide excellent pet care. I highly recommend Ines and will definitely be booking her services whenever I travel. A job well done!!!!
Great service! Ines came to my house and cared for my 4 dogs. She feeds them, cleans up after them, gives meds, and plays with them. Every time she comes to the house she texts an update and sends pics! I didn’t have to worry at all about my babies!
She was awesome. My fur babies and my home were well taken care of while I was out of town. I received photos and video everyday putting my mind at ease. I highly recommend Menifee Pet Sitting and will definitely use again.
What, oh what can I say about her pet sitting business!!! She is an absolutely lovely woman. I never, ever fear leaving my dog with Inez. Mick goes nuts when the car turns off the Main Street and heads into her neighborhood!!! I can’t control him on his leash.....he just loves Inez, her 🏡 and her other pets she takes care of!!!! I am not sure how she does it all. Mick (our Maltese) would surely rather live with her!!! She also takes care of pets in their own homes daily when their owners are at work. Really not sure how she feeds, walks, plays with all these pets. I can NOT recommend Inez high enough. I will just let my dog, Mick, give the recommendation!!!🦮🐶🦴🦴💕💕
From the day we meet Ines, both my husband & I knew she was a perfect fit to watch our Booboo kitty while we were out of town. Ines sent us messages of how kitty was doing along with pictures. We will definitely be using her services next time we go out of town and need a sitter for our little guy.
I had never left my two 6 yr old cockatiels with anyone before, let alone for 12 days! They are super social and out of the cage whenever we’re home. They also experience night frights sometimes and will literally beat themselves bloody unless calmed by someone. So I was reluctant to leave them in anyone’s hands. Ines did a meet and greet with us and the birds a couple weeks before we left them. I knew from her demeanor at that meeting, my birds would be in the best possible care. And they were! Ines sent me videos and daily updates. I don’t think they wanted to leave “bird camp”! Lol 😆 Ines is remarkable snd very knowledgeable... super organized and she always puts the animals in her care first, I will never hesitate to leave my babies with her again in the future.
I am so grateful to have been referred to Country Ranch Dog Boarding when I unexpectedly needed a place to board my German Shorthaired Pointer. Michele and Tim are incredible, they opened their home on short notice and provided a safe and loving space for my energetic pup’s extended stay. The large play yard, daily walks around the ranch and games of fetch made for one happy dog and the daily photos and updates were very much appreciated. So grateful to have found such kind folks to care for my pup! Update: Two years and many stays later, my GSP, Tilly, still loves Country Dog Ranch! Michele and Tim always take great care of her and she has the best time. The photos and updates are always a bright spot of my day. Still grateful for their kind care for my dog.
Highly recommend this lovely place. They were very welcoming and gave us comfort with all the updates on how our pups were doing. They provide meet and greet to make sure it’s the right fit for you and give you ease if it’s your first time. And I booked for Fourth of July weekend and you know how that is for dogs! They kept them safe and gave them all the comfort they needed to keep their anxiety at bay. They won’t disappoint….I absolutely loved it!
Michele and Tim took amazing care of our two fur babies! I received pictures and updates during their time away from home. You can see how much Tim and Michele love animals and enjoy loving on your babies when you are away! Thank you both so much! We look forward to boarding with you again in the future!!
A SAFE PLACE!! My poor rescue beagle has SEVERE depression making it extremely hard to leave her. Michele has empathy and compassion and most of all patience. I am so extremely grateful!! 10 stars!
Our dog enjoyed staying at the Ranch! I liked that she had space to run around and play, as well as the photos sent as updates during her stay. Thanks for taking good care of our pup!
Brooklyn had a great time and was well Taken cate of! We appreciate you! Thank you!
I had a wonderful and positive experience boarding my dog with Michele and Tim. I highly recommend leaving your buddy with them. They will treat them as if your pet was their own.
We were hard pressed to find a dog sitter for our 3 kids. We met with Michele, brought the dogs to meet her too. She took fantastic care of them. Dogs had a great time. We loved receiving photos of them having fun. Highly recommend.
Update 2023: we have now sent our Pupps with Michelle & Tim 4 times and are so happy we found them! Our dogs absolutely love their time there and we have loved the experience every single time. Upon pick up the dogs are so happy after a fun filled vacation from home. They get lots of love, exercise and comfort which just puts our minds completely at ease while we are away. We will continue using County Ranch Dog boarding for years to come! Original review - 2022 We had the best experience sending our dogs Harley and Cabo to Michelle and Tim. Our experience in the past with other boarding facilities has been unpleasant so we thought we’d try a different method. Michelle sent us regular photos of our puppies out running around and playing in the little dog cooling pool. We felt confident that our dogs were getting the love and care they needed while we were away! Also they didn’t come back sick like they had in all the other facility they’ve been to! We already are booking Michelle and Tim for our next vacation!!
I was looking for a place where my sasha would feel at home. This place definitely was what I was looking for. I was tired of other boarding places that keep dogs in a small confined space with little space to roam
Janice takes great care of our fur babies . She has had them an extended amount of time because of a plumbing leak. She is also the best priced dog boarder I have come across . She provides bathing for extra cost but well below what competitors charge . She provided a safe and happy environment for the dogs with lots of open communication and pictures! I will definitely keep using Janice in the future !
Me and my babies, yes, 3 babies. We all love, love this place, and Janice is the best ever! A true dog whisperer! Thank you, Janice, for all you love and care.
great dog daycare
We were able to travel knowing that Debbie was taking great care of our chihuahua. It was comforting to get constant updates and pictures of Frida and to see how she was running around in the nice space Debbie has for the dogs she cares for. Definitely recommend Debbie, and we are so thankful to her!
Our pup stayed with Deb for two weeks. Deb was extremely helpful and informative in the booking process which made things less stressful. During the two week stay Deb sent photos and updates to keep us informed. We will definitely use Deb again for future boarding. Thanks Deb!!
When ever we need to leave our dogs we want them to be safe and secure. Our dogs are always well taken care off. I love the space and my dogs enjoy their time too. I don’t feel worry leaving them with Deb which helps me enjoy my trip. Highly recommend.
Debbie took great care of our babies. No hassle at all. She was very informative and explained what we needed to do before we arrived. 100% satisfied and my pitbulls are too 👍 …
This is not just a kennel. It's a home away from home with love and attention for your dog. So much room and out door areas. Last but not least at all is the price. So affordable. Planning to board your doggie? This is the place
Gennifer is an incredible groomer and pet sitter! She grooms many of my puppies after they go to their new families and also has them come stay at her home when their parents go out of town. She loves animals and considers them all part of her family. Her home and yard are clean and kept sanitary. Genn is very organized and thorough with contracts and paperwork and she sends photos and updates about how your fur kid is doing while you’re gone! Gennifer’s services are priceless!
I recently moved to CA and needed someone to watch my two dogs for a few days while out of town. I'm very paranoid about leaving my babies with people I don't know because they are my family and also, weimaraners are unique and not all people understand their needs/behaviors. The moment Gen walked into my house for a meet and greet, I knew she would be the perfect fit. She kept me well informed of how my dogs were doing and sent me pics and videos. I had zero concerns the whole time I was away and new my babies were being treated with love. I will most certainly be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone needing an amazing/loving/trusting pet sitter!
Gennifer does such a wonderful job grooming my Shih Tzu. My dog looks so cute and Gennifer makes us all feel so comfortable. She is awesome with communication the entire grooming session, is on time, efficient, pays close attention to detail, very knowledgeable, is kind and affordable! I would highly recommend Gennifer!!
We recently left our one year old Golden Doodle Malibu for the first time with Gen B’s Happy Paws.I interviewed several people before deciding on Gen B’s Happy Paws.I could tell by the daily videos and photos that Malibu was having fun with the other dogs and was well cared for. What a blessing not to worry about her on our vacation! We have already booked with her for our next trip!
We recently met and booked Gennifer for service when we planned to be out of town with family. We were hesitant in finding the right match for our needs: in-home sitter, large breed dogs, elderly dog + medication needs, and very attached — needing lots of attention. After first meeting Gennifer, I knew she was perfect because she came more well prepared for our meet and greet than I was. She asked questions that I wouldn’t have even thought of. She’s extremely thorough, so I knew she was going to take the best care of them (specifically the way we would want). Gennifer is even careful enough to ask how we normally feed/do things, so she kept things as familiar/routine as possible. We opted for 2 (1-hour) visits each day. Every visit, I had constant contact with Gennifer along with video updates, photos and updates on their appetite, mood, etc.! When it got colder, she even started putting Pinto’s jacket on for the nights. It was sad knowing they were alone during the long days/nights, but I knew they were so well loved, played with, and cared for every time she visited. I HIGHLY recommend Gennifer for all your pet services! We will be using her, exclusively from now on!!
Gennifer is absolutely the best pet sitter you could ask for. She cares for your dogs like they were her own. Actually her motto is ‘Where pets are family’. She spends quality time with them and is very conscientious about their safety and whatever they might need at any given time. My little fur baby absolutely adores her. I trust her implicitly. Highly recommend.
Gen took care of our French Bulldog while we were on vacation. She came very highly recommended by a trusted friend. We couldn't be happier with how she lovingly cared for our cherished pup. Gen kept us up-to-date and sent videos and photos every day. We wouldn't even think about taking him anywhere else. As everyone knows, it's virtually impossible to find someone you can trust with your pet at a reasonable price, and when you do, it's a true blessing. Gen will be our go-to every time!
Genn took wonderful care of my two boys. Her communication was top notch through the booking process and she sent plenty of pictures and videos while we were away. She loved them like her own. I would highly recommend Genn for any of your pet needs. You won't be disappointed.
If I could give 100 stars, I would! We had such a wonderful experience using Gennifer’s pet sitting services. From the first meet & greet, all the way to the day of pick up, she was warm, loving, accommodating, professional & knowledgeable. We got daily updates, pictures & videos. It brought such peace of mind for us knowing our furbabies would be loved & cared for while we were gone. They LOVED their stay with her & we will definitely be using her care time & time again. Thank you Gennifer! 🐶❤️
I am very satisfied with Gen B, she took excellent care of our dog while we were on vacation. She provided daily updates communicated wonderfully. Our dog was very happy and content while we were away. The professionalism and care provided will keep us as repeat customers.
Judy is the sweetest lady and takes amazing care of my senior German shepherd mix and has saved me life a few times by being able to come over to my house last minute. She is the only person I trust coming into my house without my permission with my sweet baby! She will make sure your fur baby is well taken care of!
I was so relief when I found Judy to take care my 3 cats. She's friendly and knowledgeable about cat. I'm very happy with her service. I highly recommend her.
Although our plans changed, the process of booking pet-sitting with Judy was a complete breeze. Our family was so impressed with Judy's professionalism, friendliness, and knowledge of animal care! It's clear for her, your pet's well-being comes first. She was prompt in returning our call and scheduling a meet-and-greet, forthright in discussing her services and the cost, and even had some great advice for our elderly dog. I highly recommend Judy for anyone looking for an honest and trustworthy pet-sitter.
Judy is amazing! She pet sit our two cats while we were away on our honeymoon, and she did wonderfully! We never had to worry and it was a great relief to have while we were away! We even have her booked for our next upcoming trip! If you're debating it, just call her!! She's a lifesaver.
Judy did a wonderful job with my very particular poodle. At their first meeting he had an immediate connection with her. She took wonderful care of him and the house while we were gone.It was so reassuring. I would highly recommend!!
Judy makes leaving town stess free. She anticipates our and our fur babies needs, is very knowledgeable of all animals and what to do in case of an emergency. This was evident over the phone and we were more impressed upon meeting her. Our kitties love her and most importantly when we are away we are stress free knowing they are in the best hands. It's so amazing to find someone who loves our "kids" as much as we do. We highly recommend her for short or long trips away. She is trusted by many and came highly recommended to us too.
Judy has been taking care of my dogs for many years now We are very happy with her professional service . She takes such great care of our dogs and we feel so at ease when she is with them . The service is professional and we know we are leaving our dogs in good hands . It is a great feeling to be able to go away and keep my dogs home not stressed and us not stressed as well . We love the service and are extremely happy with paw pals and would recommend this service to anyone who needs someone who treats the pets like they are family. Thank you Judy for all you do for us and our pups. Traci and Max G.
Judy has taken care of my dogs for awhile now. I can depend on her to take good care of my dogs and bring in any packages if needed. I was able to have her come over with very short notice during the holidays to take care of the dogs when I wasn’t able to get home and that gave me peace of mind.
Judy is wonderful to work with and she gives extra attention to detail when taking care of my pets. She’s so knowledgeable and kind, a perfect sitter for my doggies. I highly recommend her 💜
Judy Milburn has been watching our dogs for years. We are down to one dog, Leia, but she is high maintenance. Judy takes care of all of her needs and we can leave Leia in her care with complete confidence. I highly recommend her to anyone.
My husband and I recently went on a vacation, leaving our 2-year-old Labrador retriever behind for the first time. Finding the right boarding facility was crucial, as we wanted to ensure our fur baby would receive the care, love, and attention she’s accustomed to. After extensive research, we chose Briarcliff Pet Resort & Chateau Briarcliff, and it turned out to be the best decision we could have made. From the start, the Facility Manger, Juliet, made a lasting impression with her warmth and patience. She addressed all my questions thoroughly and made me feel completely at ease. By the end of our conversation, I felt like we had known each other for years. Our visit to the facility confirmed our choice. Juliet and Dave, the Training Director / Doggy Day Supervisor, were welcoming and professional, and the facility itself was spacious, clean, and well-maintained. They went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable, and their care for our fur baby was evident. Throughout our trip, Juliet and Dave kept us updated with photos and videos of our dog, which was incredibly comforting and meant the world to us. The staff at Briarcliff is outstanding—kind, attentive, and responsive. In addition, their website is user-friendly and offers a range of convenient online services. We were so pleased with how well our fur baby was cared for that we’re already planning our next trip and will definitely board her at Chateau Briarcliff again. We highly recommend Briarcliff Pet Resort & Chateau Briarcliff to anyone looking for a reliable and loving boarding facility. Thank you, Juliet, Dave, and the entire Briarcliff team for providing such exceptional care to our fur baby and making our first experience away from her so positive!
Best handling class in So CA. Great training facility with knowledgeable accomplished dog savvy instruction. Showed trained my last pup here, debuted him and finished him in three weekends. In the summer I take my dogs here to swim and keep them in condition. My dogs love this place and the wonderful people who work here.
Briarcliff Pet Resort is by far the best boarding option in all of the Inland Empire. I have brought my dogs here for many years now and have nothing but good things to say about this incredible pet resort (it really is a pet resort). One thing that stands out is how clean their facility is. The manager there Juliet, one of the kindest people you'll ever meet, maintains high standards for keeping the resort clean, safe and orderly. Dave who does the training there is also a true professional at his craft. I did his training program with my super high-energy GSD and he taught me control and training techniques that were an absolute game changer. If you're looking for a top-notch, quality boarding and training pet resort, this is your place.
I took My dog to Briarcliff About 3years ago for the first time . He had a great time I was very happy with their services everybody there said they loved my dog. A year after that I took them again and same experience . I am a Disabled Proud Marine And my dog is a Marine Corps dog and has been a godsend to me. Nobody told me anything different. Now I call up and make a reservation and I get a call back from the manager Juliet and she tells me that the last time I brought my dog about 2 years ago she said that my dog was growling at certain attendants and not being cooperative. I never heard anything about this when I took my dog 2 years ago .Nobody said anything. What this lets me know is that they don't have the right people working there and I am glad that Juliet called me and let me know because I do not want to take my dog somewhere that they do not know how to handle dogs . My dog would not hurt a fly and I have had him for 4 years and he has never growled at anybody or anything. Anyway This Proud Marine definitely would not refer Briarcliff to anybody anymore because I obviously have no confidence in their services and I appreciate them Letting me know.
My dogs have always enjoyed their stays at Briarcliff Pet Resort. I found their updated booking system easy to use and appreciate the prompt response whenever I need to reach out for information. The dogs have always returned home in really good conditions and the photos I receive while they’re there are an added bonus. I would definitely recommend this facility to those looking to board their dogs in the Menifee area.
I’ve had my fair share of positive moments here, but unfortunately, the establishment has undergone significant changes. I began bringing my pet here around five years ago. It wasn’t my top choice, but its proximity to my home and reasonable pricing made it a convenient option. However, over time, it seemed as though they were actively trying to deter business. There are obvious staff shortages here, which seem to be confirmed by their, inconvenient operating hours and odd closure days. Could this be why they’ve implemented policies that appear to be designed to discourage customers? For example, many places allow pet owners to administer their own vaccines. I’ve been giving my pet the Bordetella vaccine for years, even documenting it with photos of the labels and bottles. Yet, they insisted that I couldn’t board there if I was handling my own vaccinations. Once things started to normalize post-COVID, I decided to have the vet give the bordetella vaccine. I attempted to schedule boarding for an upcoming vacation, only to be told I was calling too early and couldn’t book outside of a 60-day window. This was incredibly frustrating, as kennels in our area fill up quickly. After planning an expensive international trip, I really wanted the peace of mind of knowing my dog had a place to board. I marked my calendar to call back within the specified time frame. However, months later, when I finally made the call, I was informed that the owner no longer accepts Italian mastiffs at the kennel. I can’t say I was surprised, considering I hadn’t been able to get my dog in for the past few years. Sadly, this often happens when businesses have an abundance of customers… they no longer feel the need to provide real value. It’s disheartening that we were treated this way and then simply discarded. A more sensible management decision might have been to stop accepting NEW Italian mastiffs. Considering the breed’s average lifespan is only about eight years, and they’ve already been accommodating us for five, we could have continued for the next three before being turned away. Now, I will never support this business again, even when I get a different breed.
We boarded our two dogs with Briarcliff this last weekend and they were absolutely wonderful! Very professional and very caring! They took very excellent care of our fur babies! It was our first trip away from them in years and they made us feel very comfortable about the care they received while we were gone. We highly recommend them. The staff member who greeted us when we dropped off and picked up was phenomenal. So glad we found a place like Briarcliff to care for our fur babies when we are in need of a place to board. I can't say enough positive things about our experience.
Fantastic boarding & training facility!!! My dog received the best care & had the best time. I will always bring my dogs here.
My dog loves coming to Briarcliff. The staff are so friendly and always are welcoming to my dog. I am very happy to have found Briarcliff! Will keep coming back for years to come! Love the portal and the photos/videos from pet n plays. 💞 …
I have been bringing my dog here for several months we go a few times a week and Rari absolutely loves it!! She gets so excited as soon as we pull into the long driveway that she does her little happy dance tail wag excited barks all the way to the door. She gets excited when she sees Brittany or Dave never sad when she is dropped off just excited to play with friends. We also took Dave's beginner class completed that then took the advanced/intermediate class. We both learned so much. Very happy with staff here.
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.
I recommend Kristy 10000%!!! My pup doesn’t do well with boarding so I opted to have him stay home and have Kristy come in a few times a day for feeding, walking etc. She kept me updated with messages & photos the whole week. He doesn’t do well with strangers but he loved her. Thank you Kristy!!!
I needed a pet sitter last minuet and thankfully Kristy had an opening when I needed it. She came referred from a friend but her reviews speak for themselves. I have a 6 month old puppy and she'd never stayed anywhere else, needless to say I was nervous. We met Kristy beforehand and I saw how well she ran things, I was super content in leaving our furbaby. She had great communication, gave me updates if I needed them and the best part my puppy got the socialization she needed. I was super pleased with her care that she's already booked for another visit!!
Kristy is the best dog sitter you can find. There is no one as caring and hands-on as she is. We had her take care of our shy girl for 3 days and everything was perfect. She even posts on her Instagram page when you're away so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. We'll keep using Kristy for all of our pet sitting needs!
Kristy has been my number-one dog sitter for at least 10 years. She has many years of experience, and I feel like I am leaving my pets in my own care when I have her come to stay while I go away. All of my animals love her. Her attention to each one of them is outstanding. She is good at delivering medications and doing everything that needs to be done. She has excellent skill in taking care of senior dogs and fragile baby animals as well. I have been very blessed to have found Kristy, and I know that God is with her when she takes care of my animals.
Kristy is an excellent -- outstanding "go to" babysitter for our animal family members. She goes above and beyond to make each cat n dog happy. Kristy is reliable and even sends updates with pictures! She is also a very nice lady to humans too.
Kristy is amazing with our puppy, she genuinely cares about the animals she works with, and is highly knowledgeable and experienced. We've used Kristy multiple times for overnights. I highly recommend Kristy's TLC to care for your pet, you will not be disappointed.
I can see why she has solid 5 stars on every website. Her years of experience shine in the way she conducts her business. Extremely professional yet very down to earth, warm, and friendly. We had drop-in care for our cats for a few days. She did everything we needed plus communicated with us daily. She will work with your requirements and give you a fair price. She even accommodated a last-minute request while we were away. We feel like we could truly trust Kristy with anything, and our future vacations will have us using her business again without hesitation.
Kristy has been our pet sitter for over 5 years now in Riverside. She is an outstanding animal caregiver and always does an excellent job. She is 100% reliable and we are blessed to feel totally comfortable going on vacation or having long days at work knowing she will always take wonderful care of our babies.
Kristy, has been caring for my dog Cali (42 lbs plott-hound) mix for about 6 months now. Kristy has been very accommodating, she cares for Cali 3 days a week. I am really happy w the care she has given to Cali and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker in the area.
Kristy is so sweet & did a wonderful job caring for my 4 year old pom-malti poo, Hachi! We haven't been on a family vacation in years, so it was his very first time pet boarding. Prior to the trip, we met up with Kristy which helped ease any nerves. She answered all of my questions & I filled out a form that she provided to ensure that Hachi would receive all the proper care. Kristy sent daily videos/photos of him - making fur friends, going on dog walks & hanging out in the big backyard! It was so comforting to know how much Hachi enjoyed his stay. Just like our family went on vacation, he was on his own little vacation too! Thank you Kristy for your kindness & for taking such good care of my little boy. We will definitely be back!
