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!
Great pet sitter - took perfect care of our cat and our home. They were super communicate leading up to and during the sit and left our apartment in great shape. I'd absolutely recommend them to any future sitters!
Becca was fantastic - we cannot say enough about how great she is as a pet and house sitter and as a human being! Becca committed to the sit 8 months in advance and was great with her responsiveness in communication during the long lead up to the sit. She arrived early and got the low downs on the animals and house stuff prior to us leaving. She woke up crazy early to help us get to the airport and picked us up when we returned, which made the traveling so much easier on our end. She left the house spot-less (and this is no exaggeration), with the linens cleaned, and a wonderful meal waiting for us upon our return. She is an absolute gem of a person with a great sense of humor and a kind and compassionate nature, and she really enjoys the animals in her care. Our dog and cat were very well cared for and totally at ease upon our return. If you are lucky enough to have Becca sit for you, you will be very pleased at how well she does the job!
Marianna was an incredible house sitter and cat sitter. She gave our property and sweet kitty top notch care. She is kind, easy to communicate with, thorough, etc. Would highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed.
Catherine was a wonderful sitter for our 17 year old cat Zabba. She sent us pictures twice a day and kept us informed about Zabba’s daily activities. We came home to a clean home and would definitely recommend her as a pet/ house sitter. My only concern was that she doesn’t drive and with an older cat, I just prayed that Zabba didn’t need to go to the vet…. And he didn’t 🥰. We will ask her again for sure.
Amazing sitters - I feel so fortunate to have had them stay. Chapeau was treated to daily walks and belly rubs, and my cat Tica was overflowing with contentment from having been taken care of so well. The house was cleaner than I left it and I was treated to a nice note and a lovely candle upon my return. Also, they left a checklist of item that they had done while here. Truly above and beyond!
Jinnie was an excellent house sitter for me and my cat Felix. Completely responsible and reliable and helpfully flexible. She was willing to work with me as I dithered on whether I was actually going to go on my trip (which was dependent on good weather), and when I finally decided on making my trip one day shorter. House was clean and organized on my return, and, more importantly, my cat was calm and relaxed on my return. I would happily have Jinnie come sit for me and Felix again.
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.
Heidi was an outstanding cat sitter for my Luna! She was very communicable via calls or texts. She followed all my guidelines for feeding and care of Luna. Luna was very content when I arrived home thanks to Heidi! My home was immaculate when I arrived and she did some snow shoveling. She even pulled a large broken tree branch off my roof following a windstorm. I hope Heidi is available for my next trip because she is awesome. Jim
Pennee and Bill were the BEST pet sitters and guests ever! I really wanted them to stay forever ! Our cat, Miss Kitty bonded so much to them, that she really wasn’t that happy to see me when I got home .Our cat is a finicky eater and they tried all different types of food and treats for her. They sent me regular photos of miss kitty and I knew everything was great when most of the pics had miss kitty on their lap. Our cat doesn’t take to many people but she immediately fell in love with them. Pennee sent us our mail and prescription meds on a regular basis , and went out of her way to take care of any issues . They fell in love with the neighbors and community and just made our lives so easy . We experienced the Covid 19 virus outbreak quarantine during this time and Pennee and Bill agreed to stay a month longer at our home . They were extremely flexible with their travel plans so that everyone would be safe. Upon our arrival home, we were greeted with a bouquet of flowers , beautiful hanging basket of flowers for outdoors and a beautiful bottle of wine . And our house had never been cleaner ! Bill and Pennee are a pet owners dream couple !I felt extremely lucky to have found such a great petsitter and new friend . We will be visiting each other in the future .
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least 20$ per visit, $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!

We brought our 1yr old pup for his first grooming, Jennifer made it very easy to communicate through appt scheduling and was extremely welcoming. She answered questions and concerns and made us feel at ease. We felt obi was in good hands. We brought Obi with long hair that was matted from ears to his paws, long nails. We picked him up, which he looked like a whole transformation. Clean cut and looking handsome as ever! We’re definitely coming back!
Took my five month old puppy to Miss Jennifer she did a wonderful job. Look at his picture I had to post it. I will recommend her to anybody else that needs their pet groom. This is his first time going to the grooming, my husband and I usually base him, so now we found a favorite spot to take him. He loves her as well Mr. swag my dogs name.
Jennifer is truly amazing. I found her Yesterday on Google,called,made appointment for today and I cannot be more pleased. She is a true animal lover and it shows. She’s so gentle and efficient and her prices are outrageously low. She took such good care of my girl. I will show you before and after pictures. I highly recommend her you will not be disappointed. Thank you so much Jennifer I’ll see you in six weeks. I have truly found my Groomer,.
Jennifer made me feel at eases leaving my best friend Mr.Coal .To get a well needed bath and blow dry. When I call to make appointment I was lucky enough that she was able to fit me in that day. About 45min or so she call to let me know he was done. When I pulled up to the gate. It rolled back and Jennifer and her little helper I want say about 3 or 4 year old son was walk Mr.Coal out. Boy did he look so handsome his coat look so shiny and black as night. To the touch soft clean. His smell make you want to hug and take big woof of air through your nose. Best of all there are no hidden prices is all broken down for you right on web site and easy on the wallet. Thank you Barn Find Your # 1 in my book
Super flexible, kind and understanding. They've been my go-to for both our dogs since we've moved to Vallejo ~3 years now.
I have boarded my dog with Jennifer many times and have had nothing but great experiences! My dog has separation anxiety but is now excited to go to Jennifer's! She is communicative and knowledgeable with dogs and has been great with my girl! Highly recommend all their services but especially boarding/daycare.
Jennifer and Zach offer a fantastic service for pups at their home. The value for the boarding service is very good and my dog has a great time. He can be skittish and nervous at first but their family has been so understanding and patient, now he wants to stay when I pick him up from boarding. They understand and love all kinds of dogs here and their love of animals shines through. Their own dog and kids are so cute and help with the business by adding playful energy to the home. The baths offered left our dog as clean as ever. Jennifer is very responsive over text as well. I would recommend Barn Find to anyone.
Jennifer & her husband are great. Whenever we need to board our dog, we go to them. He's happy whenever he gets there & always makes new friends. I highly recommend.
Jennifer was great with my two dogs. Before booking, she asked questions to make sure she understood what I wanted and she was very clear about her services. I felt confident that my babies were in good hands before I even dropped them off. They loved her instantly when they met her. She paid attention to their needs and even used an oatmeal shampoo for added moisture. My dogs were clean, cute and happy after she groomed them. I will certainly take my fur babies back to Jennifer for their grooming needs. She was so great with them that I will also consider her boarding services in the future.
Amazing doggie grooming business! CJ (our dog) came back looking and smelling great! Jenifer was so nice and did such a wonderful job with him! He was like a brand new dog :-) CJ will definitely be coming back next time he needs a little soap and shine
We are so glad to have found Namrata. Our dog stayed for 2 weeks. We got multiple pictures of her having a great time. Namrata was super communicative via text. She got daily walks and socialized with other dogs and humans. It was a huge relief to know that my doggie was living the good life while we were gone! I highly recommend happy pets and namrata!
We boarded our two year old rescue pup while we went to Vegas. The beginning was rough for our doggy because she was in a new environment and has anxiety. Namrata worked with her tirelessly, and after the first night, she was doing so much better. Namrata sent us updates, pictures and videos and set our minds at ease. This is the first time we’d used a boarding service and we will be returning whenever we need puppy care. Her rates are reasonable and the dogs have free access to the backyard as well as regular walks. We are very happy customers.
I’ve used Namrata three times now for all-day Doggy Day-Care and she has been wonderful with my fur baby! She’s sent me photos and updates, and the last time I pulled up to her home for drop-off, my pup was whining with excitement to enter!! Thank you Namrata, for all your love and care!
Namrata has taken care of Millie (my 3 year old doodle) for both dog day care and dog boarding. I have been dropping Millie off with her and her family since September 2023. Millie is always excited to see her when I drop her off. Namrata is very responsive and always provides picture updates. Her son and Millie have become best friends. I am so happy that I have found an amazing dog sitter for day care and dog boarding. This lets me go on my trips and into the office without worrying about her. I would definitely recommend Namrata for dog day care and boarding!
We have been very pleased with Happy Pets. She is very organized, and quick to answer by text for bookings, pick up time, etc. She will forward pictures to you during the time you are away from your dog if you request, and our small dog, Lola has always seen very well cared for. Lola can be temperamental, and whiny, and may not be the easiest dog to take care of, but Happy Pets has always done a great job of providing great care for Lola and understanding she is who she is.
Namrata did a great job boarding our 5.5 year old Jindo. She sent pictures and updates every day, making us feel comfortable being away from our pup. We would happily board our dog with Namrata again :)
Happy pets dog boarding is amazing!! They take the best care of my dog - lots of attention and walks and love. I can tell that my dog loves going there and it gives me great peace of mind to know that my dog is so well taken care of when I am out of town. Also , they are great at communicating- lots of pics and updates when I am away and scheduling the pet sitting has always been very easy. I feel lucky to have found them!
Namrata and her family took such great care of my dog Allie for one month. My initial plans for a dog sitter unexpectedly fell through, but on very short notice (just a few days) I was able to find Namrata who thankfully was able to take care of Allie for the whole month. I received photos and video and it was clear that Namrata, her family and her dog Albus were bonding with Allie and that she was very well taken care of. I’m thankful I was able to find Namrata and now feel confident that I have an excellent dog sitter for any travel in the future. I highly recommend her services.
Namrata is simply THE BEST!! If I could give her 10 stars, I would! My fur baby, Remy, has major separation anxiety. I was so worried about leaving him, as we've never left him with anyone! He's a 6 year old Frenchie and requires a lot of attention, exercise, and LOVE!! Thank you so much, Namrata!! Remy made new doggy friends, and was a happy boy during HIS 6 day vacation!! Daily fotos great communication! If you want the best care for your fur babies, look no further!! ❤️❤️❤️🐕👍🐈⬛
Namrata took great care of my pup during his stay there. She sent me pics everyday to keep me posted, and also hand fed my dog when he had low appetite. My dog came back home happily, indicating that he had a great time there! Thank you for your care!
Jeremy managed to get us set up with a great dog walker at very short notice. We are working with Eric--he's gregarious and clearly into dogs and his job. We interviewed him with our dog and were immediately at ease. We have an ever changing schedule and Jeremy and Eric have been able to accommodate that with no problems. THANK YOU Red Rover!
Our dog has been getting walks from Red Rover for almost 4 years. We have also boarded her with them. We couldn't be happier with their services and customer service. Riley loves her walks and comes back a happy and tired dog. I really don't know how we would function without them.
We love Red Rover! Jeremy has always been amazing with our dogs and has really put my mind at ease as a worried dog mama whenever we’ve gone out of town. If I could rate more than five stars, I would!
Red rover has been taking our dogs on adventures for over 5 years. Jeremy and his team are great. We highly recommend their services. Lance and Laurie Page
I’m so glad to have found trustworthy, honest, friendly & truly caring walkers to take care of Ned. As a first-time rescue owner, Ned was adopted and lived with two other dogs for two years. I recently moved to the area on my own with this sweet dog and as an anxious dog parent, I do worry about him without his dog mates. Dave is amazing with Ned and goes beyond his dog walking service. Once on a very hot day in Oakland, Dave ensured Ned did not overheat and turned on the fan for him. Including checking on his water bowl. This was not our first dog walker - I had a few before who did not have the same level of professionalism and general care for my Ned. I am so grateful for Jeremy and Dave.
We really appreciate the dog walking services of Red Rover! Our dog receives twice weekly walks rain or shine and he loves it! Thanks for the great care and service Red Rover!
I've been a client for many years and the Red Rover team is part of our family. Service is excellent and I trust them to love and care for my dog as if it were their own.
We go to work knowing our little apartment dwelling dog is kept safe and stimulated with Red Rover! Shim loves his trail adventures. :)
I love Red Rover! My dogs are always happy and my cats are taken care of consistently and well.
Red Rover is fantastic. They love dogs and dogs love them! Reasonable rates and reliable walks and boarding
Molly and her team are wonderful, reliable, and experienced. Not only did my pup have a great time, but I got daily updates with tons of pictures. The Doggie Llama team does boarding, training, and dog walking right. When your pet is left with them you can rest assured that your pet is receiving quality care tailored to their needs and comfort. Their science-based approach to training and care sets them apart from the industry standard and sets my mind at ease knowing that my pet is receiving the highest quality of care.
EDIT: We are coming up on our five year anniversary being with Doggy Lama! Wow time has flown. We do have two new walkers that tag team, Joe (who is our primary walker) and Vero (who provides backup), but all the previous statements in my review are still valid. Joe and Vero are always communicative, respectful, and Warren can't wait to go on adventures with him and his pack. You can tell how much they each love and appreciate their dogs. ---- Our boy Warren, a border collie mix, LOVES his time with Kristen & Michael's packs. They're some of the most exceptional and trustworthy dog walkers we've had. Warren will wait up by the window for Kristen or Michael to come every morning - tail waggin a million miles an hour and whimpering from excitement. It makes me happy to see Warren get to play out on the trails, learn new skills, and socialize with his pals every day. Finding a trustworthy and professional dog walker is not easy. But Molly runs a tight ship, and the team she leads at Doggy Lama shows just how much she cares for and loves animals. If you're looking for pet care that exceeds the standard - I'd highly recommend you reach out to Doggy Lama.
Vanessa is pure gold. She has been walking my sweet husky-pit mix Margaux since she was a year old and forged an incredible bond not only with my pup, but with our whole family. Vanessa comes with heart, soul & leash - in that order. Vanessa adores her canine charges and they feel it. She is also a gifted photographer and I look forward to her pix every time Margaux goes out with her. She has my complete trust and gratitude. Margaux agrees!
I have worked with many dog walkers, dog trainers, and pet care professionals in the past. Doggy Lama Pet Care is a business with a different set of principles. They put positive reinforcement and employee training before profits and scale. A dog's physical and emotional health will always be Doggy Lama Pet Care's top priority. I was fortunate to work with the owner Molly and her dedicated team of employees. Every member of the staff was an absolute professional. I found the team to be incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about dogs. I have two rescue dogs that have their own cute little complexities. I am incredibly confident that any member of Doggy Lama Pet Care's team could properly care for my dogs and exceed my own expectations. I would highly recommend them for both private dog walking and group dog walking services. The team is especially qualified even if you have rescue dogs with complicated or unknown backgrounds.
Doggy Lama is my vote for the best small business in the Bay Area. This is not hyperbole! They are reliable, transparent, informative, and caring. We feel so comfortable with them, and often lean on their guidance and advice for taking care of our dog Rory. Our walker Jeysi feels like a member of the family. Every weekday she reliably arrives at our home, Rory runs to greet her, and off they goes with a pack of 5-7 dogs on a beautiful East Bay trail. A few hours later Rory comes home happy and tired. And then Jeysi sends us a written summary along with beautiful photos and videos from the day. It seems like such a fun pack. We're so, so grateful for Jeysi. Attaching just one pic here. But I have about 8,000,000 others that are equally frame worthy!
I absolutely love Doggy Lama Pet Care!. My dog walker, Sophie, is the best!. Always let's me know when she is arriving and coming home with my 🐶, Grace. Sends pictures of her hiking adventures. 100% Great Review! …
Molly and her team at Doggy Lama are the best! Our dog Toby always returns from his off-leash walks with Jordan having had lots of fun with his pack buds and tuckered out. It’s been a huge relief to know Toby is getting the exercise and stimulation he needs, especially during the work week when we can’t provide that for him to this level. This team is also amazing at communication, from day-of logistics to general awareness of seasonal considerations on the trail.
My dog loves Doggy Lama! She cannot wait for them to pick her up and is always exhausted and happy when they bring her home. She has totally bonded with Vanessa and Merrigold. I appreciate their communication and professionalism. and the photos.
Everyone at Doggy Lama has been so good to my pup, Rosie, since I adopted her over a year ago. Rosie has arthritis so Dorothy takes her to the park to sniff about at her own pace or just lay in the sun. It's clear that she loves her time with Dorothy because she always comes home with a huge smile on her face! Kendrae is super communicative and responsive around scheduling, too. Highly recommended!!
Kasper and I we both LOVE Doggy Lama; obviously for different reasons - Kasper loves the walks, treats and keeping his brain working while practicing recall on every walk. I love it that the Doggy Lama team is super reliable and feels like extended family. After I broke my foot they were able to immediately schedule Kasper for walks every day so I was able to rest. Thank you Team!
My dog, Penny, met Nicari the day after we adopted her. It has been 5 years now and Nicari is as much family to Penny as my husband and myself. Nicari and the team at Pampered Pooches have individualized her care to fit her personality. She has nice long walks on my work days. Everyone of the team at California Pampered Pooches are warm and kind and I am proud to recommend them!
My dog has been with CPP for about 8 years now (for daycare and boarding). She considers them family too. The last time I had to board her, when I went to pick her up, she didn't want to leave - LOL! If you are looking for a safe and loving environment for you precious doggie, please consider CA Pampered Pooches. You won't regret it!
My dog is so happy He has friend to spend time with. Thank you for the love and attention you give him. He has picked up some good habits and thank you for your time and advice it has made things so much easier🥰🥰
My dog was way overdue for his grooming! They were amazing with my senior dog! He is soooo happy... and clean! Yay!
Amazing, caring owners and staff. I am so thankful I found them when I did. It is clear my pup loves going there. It's like being with family
Can't get enough of the the personalized TLC that Jax gets at CAPP. Not only are they teaching him how to play nicely as a big pup, I have the peace of mind knowing that he's truly being pampered!
Everything about them is amazing I love the fact that they took great care of my baby and made him look like a million bucks thank you so much greatest groomer ever I couldn’t be happier thank you thank you thank you
Best groomer in town my baby looks and smells like a million bucks. The shedding even stopped thank you
Love this place! My Giant Schnauzer is plum wore out when she's done.
Your dogs life cannot be trusted here
We've known Stacey at All My Love Pet Care for many years and the name of her business says it all. Use Stacey for dog walks, daily visits, or pet sitting, and your pet will receive lots of attention and loving care. Stacey is reliable and professional. She's on time and we have always felt our dogs were in good hands. We highly recommend her!
Carol is just the best! She truly loves all pets and my dogs adore her. Carol is patient and easygoing even with my little nutty girl. I know when my babies are with her they are happy, loved and safe. Plus- she sends me awesome pix and updates at least once a day to put my mind further at ease. I have 4 dogs who are my life. (I am one of ‘those’ people - lol) I am so so thankful I have someone I can trust them with! Thanks Carol!!
My boy Brody loves going to see his Aunt Carol! Yes, that is how amazing she is, she will forever be one of his Aunties. I don’t trust just anyone with my baby but she made me feel comfortable at the meet and greet initially and the first day went well so we are a lifetime customer. I appreciate any necessary updates and picture messages of what he’s doing during his stay. Carol is so great she even takes him on walks to meet her friends. She always provides a synopsis of his day including anything that was concerning to her.
Carol is very loving of all the dogs she sits. She watches my dog while I'm out of town for 1 - 4 nights. She snuggles my dog, follows my directions for feeding her, and really tries to make my dog feel comfortable at her home. Carol has been very accommodating for me, especially when trips don't go as planned and I'm unable to get home on time to pick up my dog. She's responsive via text message for scheduling and general communication and she follows up to confirm our dates right before I'm planning to leave, to make sure she's home. I really enjoy working with Carol and my dog gets excited when she realizes she's going to Carol's.
Elizabeth Jones seems to have started an account just to give local pet sitters 1 star reviews, despite having never interacted with them. Do not pay any attention to her review! I run into Carol on my regular morning walks and she is definitely a true professional. I would be completely comfortable with my pet in her care.
If you're looking for a professional, safe and compassionate home for your dog while you are away, Waterfront Dog Boarding is an excellent choice! The owner, Carol, is a very kind and thoughtful lady whom excels with her doggie care home. She is a true dog lover! It's very nice to have peace of mind that my dog is happy abd safe while I'm away.
Fantastic experience! My dog means the world to me and it was so nice to have Carol watch her for me. I couldn’t recommend her more highly. Mike
Carol is great with dogs and I would refer anybody to her!
Carol is awesome!! My dog did not to leave!!
Great place for dogs
I would be more than happy to resolve any issues that you have. However, I don't recall having any interaction with you and I'm not sure why I was given a one star review.
Amazing people who do a great job taking care of their puppy guests!
Swell guy and good neighbor
Shari and Guy have made it possible for us to enjoy many fun times on our RV. They come to our home and feed our cats and pick up mail and papers and just generally keep an eye on things for us. We have enjoyed working with them for many years and I never worry when I know they are on the job. Our cats like them too!!
