There are not enough words in the English language to express my deepest gratitude to Teresa and all the amazing love and care she showed my sweet cat Milo. From the moment she met Milo, I knew there was going to be a very special bond. He instantly relaxed when he first met and already looked so happy and at peace with her. The bond between the two of them only seemed to get stronger and stronger with every day that I was away. This two-week trip was so important for me as it was the first real "vacation" I had taken in a few years. I was in desperate need of a mental and physical break and knew that in order to have a true "time off', I needed to feel completely at peace with Milo being well-taken care of. Well my prayers were answered as Teresa was the "cat whisperer" I was hoping for. I could not have asked for a better, more compassionate, self-reliant, and intuitive sitter ! Teresa was also so diligent in sending me her daily picture and video updates of my cat. With every picture and video I saw, I knew that Milo was so happy being with her and I never worried for one minute while I was away. What a gift ! Teresa was also a serious life-saver for me as literally an hour before I was leaving for my trip, I found out my cat's tracker app was not working and after a few emails and phone calls, we found out the tracker's server was down. Teresa took the initiative to follow up with getting the tracker to work again which was a HUGE stress-relief for me . She is not only wonderfully savvy with animals but also with technology as well ! I feel so fortunate to have Teresa in my life now, not only as an amazing sitter for Milo but also as a wonderful friend for life! Thank you, Teresa for everything.... Milo and I so appreciate you .....
Kristi was an absolutely incredible sitter -- I think our favorite one ever! She was easy to communicate with, kind and personable, and took great care of our pets and our house. It was the first time we had left both our dog and our cat with a TH sitter and Kristi went above and beyond. She was very self-sufficient but provided fun updates and pictures and our pets loved her. Highly recommend!
Great pet sitter - took perfect care of our cat and our home. They were super communicate leading up to and during the sit and left our apartment in great shape. I'd absolutely recommend them to any future sitters!
Susan and Miranda are amazing! I've had the pleasure of working with many sitters and they are truly exceptional. They were great at keeping in touch, sent lots of updates, asked good questions, really bonded with the cats, clearly very experienced working with animals and understanding their needs, and generally lovely to deal with. They were really patient putting up with a whole bunch of deliveries and even assembled a spare bed! They also left the place spotless with clean sheets on the bed. I'm pretty sure the cats loved Susan and Miranda more than us by the end of their stay! I'd highly recommend them to anyone and would love to have them stay again any time.
Amanda is truly our trusted sitter "find"! She comes back regularly, so much so that our kitties think she is their secondary owner! Always reliable, clean, responsible and most of all loves our cats as much as we do! Good communicator, self reliant - all in all a perfect "10"!
Catherine was wonderful! She took care of my cat and house while I was out of town and left and Jack the Cat very and calm and the house in perfect shape which I so appreciate. I could return home and attend to other things rather than cleaning house. I would recommend her as a sitter to anyone. She was easy to communicate with, provided updates and pics of Jack, willing to jump in and assist me as I left or returned. She has a sweet and warm personality and enjoys what she does with house sitting. Thank you Catherine!
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.
Paige, David, and family were WONDERFUL sitters for my crew! They were so pleasant and personable, and the pets warmed up to them very quickly. Even my rescue cat who tends to stray away from men loved David. I received regular updates and communication (before and during the sit). I truly did not have any concerns while I was away knowing that everyone had such great care and attention given to them. (I know the dogs had a good time because when I came home there was no commotion over my return.) I was away on NYE and Paige had no issues keeping an eye on one of the dogs who has anxiety surrounding loud noises. The family cleaned up after themselves and may have left the house cleaner than when I left! Truly such a great family who I would welcome back any time!
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
If Macie and Roman ever apply to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the. offer. You will not be disappointed. They are among the top (if not the top) sitter I've ever had and I've been on this site for years. Primarily, they are very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Macie and Roman kept me abreast of their plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk them through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Macie and Roman really care. When they got to my apartment after a very long morning of traveling, I explained the care instructions and they were very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Macie and Roman followed those exactly. Third, Macie and Roman make you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out of hiding very quickly and was snuggling with them and letting them hold him. It was so nice to see the pictures of them all bonding! Macie and Roman have a calming energy towards animals for sure! Macie and Roman were also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 30 minutes. I really appreciated that. Fourth, Roman and Macie will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Macie and Roman also respects your property. We had a room we asked them not to enter and they respected that. In short, Macie and Roman are amazing. I would have them back in a heartbeat. If you have any questions I would be happy to answer them. Ask Macie and Roman for my number.
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, $18/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!
Dropped off our pup for the weekend and her stay went so well. They gave us updates with photos and we can tell she really enjoyed her stay. Not only do they take such good care of the animals, but you can tell they really do spend time with them. Our pup isn't the best at playing fetch and they and noticed that along with her other silly behavior. First time bringing her and will definitely be back again, thank you!
Fantastic place to care for your furbaby’s needs. Ollie started daycare here this week. He LOVES it! Comes home and is lazy all evening. Brittney did an amazing job grooming him. He’s been to several groomers since I travel for work, and she seriously did a great job. I even got to see pictures of him while he was being groomed. I love that he was able to get groomed while attending daycare since I work during the week! The hours are nice, so I can run a few errands after work before picking him up. Ollie is excited to play at daycare again next week (:
Love the employees very kind to me and my pet. I trus them with my dog in grooming / daycare. My dog looks happy when going to Buddy Sweets. They are always quick to answer emails and text. I love this place.
So happy to have a place for my pups to stay at. We moved from San Diego and were worried about finding a place to board our dogs in the valley... we are grateful that Buddy Sweets has given us a peace of mind. They have been reliable, communicative and trustworthy. I've boarded both my dogs a couple of times at Buddy Sweets and they send me pictures during the day and respond quickly to any questions / requests. The registering process is a little time-intensive but I appreciate the depth of questions since it makes me think that they really care about having your dogs complete information in order to give them the best treatment possible. They are animal lovers and my pups seem to have a blast. 100% recommend this place!
The staff is absolutely amazing Brittney. The groomer is the best groomer. Ever he does my dog R. A. GZY and he is almost 14 years old and she has patience of gold. Is so patient with him and so loving. I wouldn't trust anybody but her to do my dog. And when he's when she's done with anthem, he smells so good and looks amazing. You should take everyone should take their dog down there to see Britney. I just love this place but I especially love. BritneyThe groomer cache is just amazing. Thank you Britney.ThelivinThloaca
This is Chloe my 9-year-old Siberian husky. She was in the care of Buddy sweets while my trip to Washington I absolutely recommend them. They took real good care of her, took her for her walks she had activities and they also send me videos of her while I was gone totally happy with their service. Thank you 💕 …
I have been a Buddy Sweats customer since 2019. The staff does a wonderful job taking care of my reserved dog Butda while we’re out of town. They provide messages and videos to check in on the pets which also made me feel more comfortable leaving my dog in the warm and caring facility. Buddy Sweets is definitely my to-go place and I genuinely recommend them to all for boarding. Congrats to the facility moving and upgrading to a larger area, even through this hectic pandemic they have strived to maximize with pet care in mind. This is by far the best animal boarding facility in the valley! Thank you Buddy Sweets Family 💗
Brittany and staff always treat our Josie with love and care and her haircut is perfect 😊 Love the blueberry cologne ❤️ …
I came back to this place after two years. I took my 4 dogs thinking it was a good place for them to stay. I let the people know that my dogs were very active because my dogs are under 2 years old. Buddy sweets received my dogs and I called and text everyday to make sure my dogs were ok.Buddy sweets said thta my dogs were fine. One morning I received a text from them with a picture of my dog with a whole on the under construction counter. Buddy sweets charged me without permission for damages. It is not my fault . my dogs were under their care at the time. Why do I need to pay for damages??? I am very dissapointed of Buddy Sweets for taking the time to charge my card without permission. I am sorry but the facility still under construction .. Not ready for dogs
I am so happy and confident leaving max here. They are so loving and really take great care of fur bbys. I strongly recommend Buddy Sweets. They take pictures and updates to you so you know your bby is being well taken care of. Thank you Buddy Sweets for taking excellent care of Max. Will definitely be back
I took my dog to Salcidos and the staff when I went to pick her up the staff was rude and said “this all I could do for her” and my dog wasn’t her self and was scared for 2 days.
Very friendly groomer! You can tell they love their work. Great with my dogs. Very happy with the whole service. Pups always look cute after a visit.
Fernanda did an amazing job on my pregnant maltese! Even as a walk in she took her time and made sure she was comfortable through the whole process!👍🏽 I would definitely come back! …
Took in Jaco the Rottweiler no problems she was professional with him and took care of all his matters thank you Fernanda I will be back soon Jaco loves the sweater I got from you
Very good service. Groomer gives great care and attention to animals. Professional, timely and friendly. Kudos to Fernanda, a groomer, who does great work.
Fernanda is friendly and caring with my fur baby! Always does a great job!
Love taking my pup here. They always do an awesome job!
They always make my doggies look and smell good and the employees are very friendly.
They did a good job with my dog. She looked and smelled good.
Great service and an amazing staff! Definitely, I'll recommend it!
No website
This place did such a good job on my 2 little dogs. They look adorable. I will definitely be back!
Friendly staff and exceptional service! Our pup was super relaxed there and that's saying a lot because we're traveling full time and she gets to meet a lot of different groomers. These people met and exceeded our expectations. Oh, and her cut is super cute too.
Juno was overdue for grooming and after several weeks camping in the desert in Baja, Mexico, she was pretty scruffy, dirty, and matted. Salcido's fit her in for a full grooming and did a thorough job, advising from the outset that they'd probably have to trim her down quite a bit. Still managed not to completely shave her and she looks good and will be a lot cooler in the heat now. Nice people and Juno was treated kindly.
My furbabies love coming here, I like that they are accommodating to our needs and my babies always come back looking their best. Alex is so attentive to them and very customer oriented. Definitely recommend it
I have taken my Yorkie for grooming for almost a year.. Alex along with the staff are great, very friendly.. wouldn't go anyplace else🐶🐶 …
My dogs looked amazing after being cleaned here. I have two husky boys. One had horrible knots from rolling in the dirt with his brother. But they managed to untangle his tail. And the price was right.
Good prices and quick service!! My rottweiler had a great time and came back smelling and looking amazing! The staff is very sweet with the dogs and professional with the owners.
I'm very happy with their grooming and boarding service. They are very professional and they returned everything I took for my doggie, even the left over dog food. I sincerely recommend Salcido's for all of your pet's needs. I'll definitely take my Pug there again:))
I wanted to really write a thorough review on this business regarding my recent visit. First, I’d like to say that this isn’t the first time my dog has been groomed at salcido’s. My mother took care of my dog for a period of time while I was away in school, so she chose where to get my dog groomed. Up until a little under a year ago, I’ve had my dog with me all of the time and she has a particular groomer and grooming service that I love in the Bay Area of California. However, I’m staying in the area for a few weeks and my dog needed to be groomed. Onto my experience, I took my dog in at 10 AM on the dot day of appt. One issue is the fact that I did not receive word of my dog until 2:15 PM. It took almost four and a half hours to finish grooming my dog. The business should allocate time properly and be done with grooming in a timely manner. I am used to 2 hours more or less and 4+ hours is excessive given that my dog did not have any issues with her fur and is a calm and easy-going dog. She also had irritated eyes as they were and still are after several hours, extremely red and her demeanor was down and different than how she usually is. Second, due to Covid there is a sign saying no one will be serviced or allowed into the building without proper ppe such as a mask. Yet, I physically saw a woman get out of her car without a mask, go into the building without a mask and she was able to retrieve her dog and was not turned away. This is not only not following regulations that are being enforced in California right now, but it also puts at risk other customers, employees and the animals being groomed. Third, I’ve been to a lot of grooming businesses due to owning multiple poodles, Maltese mixes, and other furry fur babies and at salcido’s all you hear are dogs crying non-stop. It’s normal for dogs to whine as they are uncomfortable at times being groomed, but this was excessive and made me worry for my dog’s well being and safety. To add on to that, I walked in while a dog was crying and the groomer or whoever was attending the dog was speaking roughly to the dog and it did not sound like a good interaction. Fourth, the employees do not act like or seem to be dog lovers. Usually employees who work with animals are loving and gentle with pets, but these employees are not and that should open the window to how they may treat your pets when you take them. One last thing is that it smells bad inside the business. At drop off, it did not smell like urine and feces, but at pick up it did and it was very strong which does not ease my feelings of how the dogs are waiting to be groomed and where they relieve themselves and if they are relieving out of fear. They also only accept cash, which is a bit inconvenient especially being 2020, but less of a serious issue. I expect the best for my pets and I know a lot of other people do as well so I wanted to share my personal experience and opinion. I will be taking my dog elsewhere.
This place is so welcoming and I really like taking my dog here. She comes out really nice and clean and smells soo good!! She has alot of hair and they know just how to treat her and cut her hair. I truly recommend this place.
Husband and I took our 2 newest rescues, a 10 month old great Dane/mastiff and an 9 month pit mix for training. They were super energetic and great escape artists.Mike knows what he is doing and teaches through positive reinforcement and teaches owners to act assertive and confident when with your dogs. Highly recommend his services.
Highly Recommended! We've taken several dogs through Mike's dog classes and he has also done petsitting for us. Not sure where the other reviewer got the false information about the 8 yr old minimum. That is not accurate. Give Mike a call.
If you want your dog well trained...take them here...
Very nice and helpful. Thank you!
Must be 8 years old to go
Never answer my message
First, Amanda and her crew are amazing people and take very good care of our lil fur babies when where out of town. Secondly, our fur babies are always tired after there vacation from pets playhouse. Thanks again pets playhouse for all you do with our babies!
My dog came home with a cut on her eye lid. She had something green in her fur and she was very thirsty & exhausted. I'm not sure what went on there but I would say it's a very sketchy situation & I would never board her again at this place.
Hands down and 100% the best doggy daycare & boarding service out there!!! Amanda and her family loved my dog chance like he was their own. she time and time again went above and beyond in her care, communication, professionalism and deep love for my pup. My dog is a rescue, he is shy and not very trusting bust after 3 days of daycare with Amanda she quickly become one of his most favorite people. Leaving him with her for work or a trip was never hard on my heart because i knew he was probably have more fun with her than he dose with me. She feed my dog, snuggled him, took him on field trips, and threw him a birthday party. Needless to say, if your looking for a daycare or boarding service you will be hard pressed to find anything better than Amanda and her company.
Here's the review: Amanda is an amazing dog sitter and treats my Berkeley as if he was her own. She creates a great and safe atmosphere for the dogs and has a nice house to dog sit. The best thing about Amanda is her accommodations. She accommodates and rearranges her schedule to match mine. I recommend Amanda to anyone who wants their fur baby to feel safe and have a great time
My dog absolutely loves Pets Playhouse! He attends full-time and it is the best decision I have ever made. Amanda is so good with all of her fur babies! my dog gets so excited in the car knowing that we are headed there. He has so many friends and he is not stuck at home by himself all day while I'm at work. I highly recommend Pets Playhouse to anyone who wants their dog to be in a positive, playfull and safe environment. Amanda is also very accommodating when it comes to pick up and drop of times. With my job my schedule changes quite a bit and I have never had any problems!
Amanda is amazing! Her love of animals shows! If you want your fur babies taken care of as if they never left home you are in the right place! She will treat you and your pets like family so you can enjoy your time away without worry.
I took my dog Mami to Pets Playhouse while I was on a business trip. Amanda was amazing. She cared for my little buddy as if she were her own dog. My dog was well cared for, happy and content when I picked her up. I'm a frequent traveler and will be using Amanda's pet sitting services in the future.
Amanda and her family take amazing care of our golden doodle when we are out of town! So much better than boarding with a kennel! The dogs are well loved in a family environment. Thanks Amanda.
My Poodle Noodle loves Amanda and her family. I think he loves them more than me lol. I started a new job where I work from home most days. I thought he could stay home with me on those days, well he cried all day long! Now I work from home and he goes to Doggie daycare 💁♀️ As long as he is happy!
Amanda was reliable first few times using her to watch my dog Louie. This last time she said she could watch him and we were just trying to narrow down a drop off time then she said she forgot that she was going out of town for the weekend.so she could now not watch him. Definitely unprofessional won't use again.
