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.

We could not have asked for a better house sitter than Myria! She is kind, personable, organized, responsible communicative and more...She read all of our instructions before arriving and asked lots of questions about our pups to make sure she understood their personalities and schedules. You can tell she truly is a dog lover. Myria provided regular updates and we felt 100% confident leaving our dogs in her care. We came back to a home that was spotless - you could hardly tell she had been here. I'd highly recommend Myria as your next zeewoi!
Jennifer treated my home and furry kids like they were her own. Everything was clean and well cared for and most importantly the dogs were happy! It was their first time with a sitter and they were happy. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience.
This is our second time with Jamie and she’s really a great sitter for our dogs . She’s a trusted person, smart. You can leave her your house and pets. Can’t wait to have Jaimie back next summer
Robyn was a great pet sitter and house sitter. She went way over and beyond my expectations!!!! She sent a photo of her and my dogs and they were looking at her like they were in love. And my cats are not very friendly, but she won them over also. I would highly recommend Robyn as a pet sitter and house sitter. She is a very sweet lady. I would love to have her watch my babies again and again.
Cyndi was fabulous. I'd describe her as the no fuss no muss dog sitter. While some dog sitters need guidance on every little detail, Cyndi was completely self-sufficient. She left the home in perfect shape and totally adored my pup. I'd gladly welcome her back anytime!
Duha was such a light to have in our home while we were away. She kept us updated with beautiful photos of our dogs throughout her stay and didn’t leave their side once. I’ve never felt so comfortable with any other sitter and I truly hope this won’t be the last time she sits for us.
Hamsa was very quick to respond in all communication. She was prompt on her arrival and listened carefully to our detailed instructions about the house and dogs. While we were away the amount of communication between us was just right. When we arrived home the dogs were happy and the house was in order. A good sign that a dog sitter paid lots of attention to the pups is when we see a bit of depression set in after a dog sitter departs - this did occur after Hamsa left our home She is a very caring and nurturing individual.
Lisa was a terrific sitter for our sweet Rosie. She arrived the evening before the sit, and we immediately could tell how much love and attention Rosie was to get. She provided updates and pictures which we were delighted to read, and we could tell Rosie was happy and well-cared for with Lisa on their walks and fetching sessions, on their car rides, and during Rosie’s many daily naps. Lisa left the house in great condition, she’s very tidy and clean. Lisa’s experience with dogs and her friendly, sweet personality makes her an excellent sitter taking good care of animals while also being easy to communicate with. I would recommend her and would gladly invite her back.
Stephanie, Brian and baby Martin took fabulous care of our home and pets for two weeks. From the outset, communication was quick, smooth and friendly and it was clear that both Stephanie and Brian are reliable, professional and warm sitters who take all the various elements of a sit seriously. They kept us up to date with photos and messages, dealt proactively and competently with any unexpected issues that popped up, and most importantly showered our dogs and gerbils with attention and care throughout the time we were away. We returned to a spotlessly clean home (with thoughtful touches of fresh milk, bacon and bread waiting for us) and happy, settled pets. In short, we would recommend Stephanie and Brian to anyone looking for reliable, attentive and proactive sitters for their pets and home. We would be delighted to welcome them back for another sit, should they ever find themselves in the area again.
You could not ask for better house and pet sitters than Ken and Jane! Before the sit: Communicating with Ken and Jane prior to our scheduled week went smoothly. They were proactive about planning. They came out to the house prior to the sit and spent a couple of hours going over things about the house, meeting the pets, and getting familiar and comfortable with everything. They were delightful people to meet; I was wishing for a couple of days to just hang out and play tourist with them! During the sit: Ken and Jane sent me daily updates and photos of their outings with my pups and with their interactions with my kitties. I appreciated how they chose the sit partly because of their love of exploring rural areas, because that's what I have here! They were perfectly suited to my home and pets. Ken absolutely loves cats and is an intuitive and experienced kitty-handler. Jane really bonded with one of my kitties; both of them made great progress with all three of my cats, each of which is pretty shy at first, and one can be a real problem child. They worked very hard to give love to each pet and ensure that each felt calm, happy, and cared for. They spend tons of time outdoors with my border collie/retrievers. The dogs had daily "spa time" after walks and outdoor playtime, having their long fur brushed on my front porch (which the dogs love!). They sent me happy photos every day. If anything came up, they just handled it. They really seemed to enjoy their adventures and the pets each day, which made my time away that much more enjoyable. After the sit: I was thankful to have some time with Ken and Jane when I returned from my trip. All the pets were calm, happy, and healthy when I got home. Ken and Jane had left me a detailed note about that last day to make re-entry easy. They sweetly left a thank you note and a bottle of wine on the kitchen table also (a very sweet and unexpected surprise!). They seemed quite sad to leave my "kids;" Jane left with tears in her eyes, saying goodbye to my dogs. We've kept in touch since the sit. My whole house really misses them. Oh, and the house was immaculate and plants all watered (inside and out) when I got home! If you're looking for kind, competent, caring, organized and responsible people to care for your home and pets, invite Ken and Jane!

Gary and his family are great! My Bullmastiff Bear loves it there, and is always wiped out when I bring him home...a tired dog is a happy dog!
Gary was extremely accommodating of our last-minute request when our dog sitter fell through. He clearly cares about all the animals he watches, and he has a great setup at his house. Our two dogs enjoyed their time there and I felt better knowing they were being cared for by a professional!
Gary was so accommodating for our last minute needs for our dog Bali. He kept us updated with photos of how much fun she was having. We could relax and enjoy our trip because we felt our pup was being cared for as if she were home with us. Bali came home happy and exhausted from all the fun she had!
I don't board my dog often so I'm very picky about where he goes. At Paws and Claws, i felt like Rocco was staying with a friend. He has a huge yard to play in and a cozy place to spend the night.
Amazing! The best place to bring your dog for boarding. Very nice and professional owner who you can tell really cares about the animals.
Looks like we have the same person giving us three stars as well as some other pet services and not explaining nor have they used our services... Here is boost from one business owner from another
Wonderful compassionate people
There is only one service we use when we go out of town, and that’s Secret and her Fetch Pet Sitting. Secret has taken amazing care of our two big dogs and cat while we are out of town. We have used her overnight, and up to two weeks at a time. She is very responsible, and helps out not only with pet care, but is more than willing to collect your mail, water your plants etc. She is extremely trustworthy and texts us daily updates, along with pictures if we so desire. Our dogs and cat love Secret, we love Secret, and you will too!
Can't imagine allowing anyone to dog-sit our kids except Secret. Always professional, and on-time. Our dogs love her. Secret almost always sleeps over to care for our special needs cat. Living on 5 acres the dogs can be a handful. I have yet to have any problems with them, and it's very reassuring that Secret has a background in Veterinary Technology. Definitely our go-to pet person.
Secret has a way with animals. Our dog Jeter can be pretty rambunctious, and Secret will hold her palm out to him and he sits down immediately, tail going 100 mph in anticipation of his belly scratch. Secret is reliable and trustworthy. She has been dog sitting for us for years. I highly recommend her.
Secret is a dog whisperer! She was prompt, professional, congenial, and easy to be with. Lucy (our golden retriever) became friends right away. Secret stayed at our house and when we returned it looked as good as we left it. 5 stars from us! Thank you, Secret!
We have hired quite a few pet sitters in the past, and so far SECRET is the very best of them all. She’s very responsible She treated our Puddles and Zeus like her own babies so to speak. They loved her the very moment they met her. She stayed at our house and lovingly gave them TLC. She’s simply the best and I highly recommend her service.
My dogs love Secret. When I leave them with her I know they will be well taken care of and loved.
They are wonderful
The nicest most caring pet sitters in the known univese
They are committed, caring and dependable!
The Wacky Wags team is incredible. Always goes above and beyond to take care of our Dog and treats him like their very own. I would give them 10 stars if I could.
Always friendly and professional! McLovin never seems to mind being dropped off there for boarding. He gets to play with his friends.
Wacky Wags treats our dog like he's their own. He's an anxious dog with a cautious temperament but he loves Wacky Wags and that says a lot for him. The owners and employees are always so pleasant, patient, understanding, and helpful. Highly recommend!
This place is amazing. I was nervous about boarding my dog Bella because she's a pandemic puppy and has separation anxiety. The care and attention by the staff put those worries to rest. I was able to see how much fun she was having through their puppy cam. Shout out to Dalton for giving me updates on Bella while I was on my trip.The pricing is also very reasonable for the attention and care they provide. Don't hesitate to check it out.
Left my Bull Terrier Mix there for seven days while I traveled. I had acclimated him there by leaving him for day care. Once I pull into the driveway he's already looking forward to entering the facility. Having worked at a dog ranch for a number of years, I knew what my expectations were. Wacky Wags did not disappoint. Everything went smoothly with arranging overnight care. My companion was well cared for and was well rested. I would highly recommend Wacky Wags. If I need daycare or overnight care again for my companion, Wacky Wags will be my choice.
Love the facility and the staff!! I left my 3 babies (dogs) with them. This was the first time ever leaving my kids at a boarding facility. The staff is amazing. They give your pet one on one attention and actually get to know their personalities! They also put up with me and eased all of my worries! I know they are in great hands! Thank you everyone at Wacky Wags for being so Awesome!
This is the only place I trust with my pup. Every time we drop him off, he can't wait to go play with his other pupper friends. Thank you Wacky Wags for providing a safe, fun place for Toby to go to that allows me to not worry while I'm away!
They took great care of our girls!!!
I am one of those people who constantly worries about their pet. It is so nice that people who board their pets here have the ability to check on them with access to cameras. Odie always comes home tired after he stays here. The staff are super nice and very friendly. I would highly recommend this place for boarding and daycare.
Loooooove this place! I had recently adopted my dog when my husband and i has to leave for two days and were unable ti take Stella(my pup). She had been boarded here previously , so naturally it was my first thought. I called and set it up. What blew my mind is that when she and i walked in they knew exactly who she was! Down to knowing the pumpkin I add to her food! On our second visit , she was getting her nails trimmed. Something to know about my Stella is , all 7lbs of her is separation anxiety. So during her mini spa day , The owner held her ever so lovingly in his arms as he gentley trimmed her up. I can not speak highly enough of this place , and will continue to give them my business 💙💙💙💙💙
Great facility, our dogs are always happy when we board them here and are well taken care of! Very nice people and they have added bathing so the dogs come home nice and clean. Can't say enough great things about this business!
I recently had to leave my dog for a week while traveling to the East Coast, and after trying different solutions like having someone stop by the house or house-sitting, none had quite met my expectations. I was extremely anxious about boarding her, especially when the Park fire broke out on our first night away. However, Terry, the owner of K9 Meridian Resort, was incredibly accessible and reassured me that everything was fine. He eased my worries, and when we picked her up, she was so happy and well taken care of. It almost seemed like she wanted to stay and play some more! I am immensely thankful for Canine Meridian Resort and look forward to having our baby girl stay there again during our future trips, ensuring she has a happy and safe stay while we’re away from home.
Terry and his staff are AMAZING! My family is comforted knowing our dogs are well cared for!
We've brought our energetic and friendly pup here a few times now. He seems to enjoy spending time with the other dogs playing, no complaints from him. He came home happy, healthy and clean. I believe there is a wash service available for longer stays. He had no signs of scuffles with other dogs, despite how exuberant he is to play with others. All the other boarded dogs seem to have a nice temperament, and are quite loved by their families. They seemed to be a happy bunch and no signs of distress at all. I'd venture to say they rather enjoy this play time while owners are away The kennels are very clean and the outdoor area is beautiful, shade is available. There is nice grassy area and the other dogs seemed quite happy with their stay as well. Getting ahold of owner is a bit difficult via phone, because this is also a busy farm utilized for weddings and events. I believe email was best communication for questions. So plan ahead if you have questions or need to contact. The kennel is located at back of property past the main home and horse areas. Drive past the statue of a buck and the driveway will lead you to kennel area Our pup is spoiled and the kids hate having to board him, but they feel good about his stays here and trust the environment. The location is absolutely beautiful and the kennel is clean and peaceful. We will be return patrons for vacations.
Terry and his crew take great care of me when my dad leaves me at Meridian K9 Resort. I love seeing my ranch buddies.
I was worried about leaving my 14yr old big boy at kennel. In the past I've relied on family to care for him. I got home earlier than expected and went to pick him up. Driving up I saw Mr Bear lounging outside with 2 other big dogs. He was just chilling out on the grass catching some rays, I was so relieved to see him so relaxed. Thank you Terry and crew
Terry is THE ABSOLUTE BEST. He has been SO GOOD with our rambunctious adoptee, and managed her special needs so well. He has also been super accommodating when we've had a couple last minute emergencies. And to top it off, he's just a really friendly, funny guy. All the other local places charge about double of his prices, so it's a total no brainer. Customers for life!
I have boarded my dog here for 1-2 week stays while on vacation several times. Each time my dog has been happy there and well cared for. The place is always very clean and the staff are pleasant.
The moment I arrived at this country style kennel, I knew my dogs were going to have lots of doggie things to keep their minds and bodies active instead of confined and going crazy. Terry matches up dog groups with small doors they can go in and out of as they choose, all day long. My dogs have long been in need of this type of activity! The enclosures are expansive for daytime freedom and socialization, then they are kenneled at night in separate enclosures for “rest time”.
Great place! Super friendly staff and my dog loves coming here. I’ve been coming here for the last 5 years and highly recommend.
My dogs and I love Sitter for Your Critters! They are always there when we need them to drop in or walk the dogs. I get pictures and a detailed update on how things went. The sitters we’ve had always follow the directions and the dogs love them. I feel comfortable being away when I know Sitter for Your Critters will be coming to play with the pups. These are some of the photos I’ve received ❤️🐾
Sitter For Your Critters is absolutely incredible!! Our community is beyond lucky to have them and I couldn't possibly recommend them enough. I'm a guy who cares extremely deeply about my cats, and cannot attain peace of mind unless they're in good hands while I'm gone. Johnathan is an amazing caretaker, and goes the extra mile and then some each and every time he watches them. I have literally never met another man I'd rather have watch over my cats. The owner Kelly is awesome, she's so sweet and passionate about her business. For years, I had trouble leaving home away from my cats. After I found S4YC, that anxiety is gone and I can rest easy knowing they're happy and in great hands. Thank you so much S4YC!
We have had an amazing experience with sitters for critters with both Kelly and Jonathan! Our animals were all well cared for, my house was kept clean and they provided amazing, thorough updates along with pictures! Very happy, highly recommended and can’t wait to use them again!
Sitter For Your Critters is such a great organization, I can’t recommend them highly enough. They’ve been helping me with my dog for several years now, providing everything from walking & playing, to feeding & medication administration, to cuddling and petting. The Sitters are very well trained and highly competent; my dog works with them eagerly, comfortably and happily. Communication is very good - it’s quick and accurate, and they are very responsive. I feel one hundred percent safe and comfortable with the Sitters in my home and in charge of my dog. I trust Sitter For Your Critters implicitly and without any reservation. I feel so fortunate that they are located in my town. I don’t know what I would have done without them on many occasions and I’m grateful for their support.
We tell everyone we know about Sitter For Your Critters, they are the absolute BEST! We only trust them with our 4 kitties. Not only do they take the best care of our cats but the little things Katie does like empty trash, clean up kibble just make it so nice to come home to. We’ve used them for over 2 years and will book them everytime. Also Katie takes the best pics of them and we love the daily reports.
I've been using Sitters for Your Critters for almost a year now to help me care for my dog during long work days, and I would recommend them to anyone! They are reliable, respond to messages quickly, and after each visit they send photos, a detailed message about what they did with your pet, and sometimes even a video. I just know from the photos of the sitter snuggling my dog that she is in good hands, and it's such a comfort to me to know my girl is being cared for by someone trustworthy! Highly recommend.
Rachel and Jonathan, of Sitter for your Critters shared the care responsibilities for my gregarious Labradoodle over a period of two weeks. From walking him, to teaching him new skills, cleaning up after him, along with his feedings, they kept such good care of him it helped me enjoy my adventure. I even got adorable pics, daily, of my Dood on the walks, yard play, and quiet time with the sitter. The sitter, at each visit, also checked around my home, collected my mail, and watered my plants. Each Sitter for your Critters sitter is amazing. Their kindness and care for my Dood was exemplary! This group was easily the best care I have found for my companion and my home in five years!
We cannot recommend Sitter For Your Critters highly enough! We have had them watching our animals for four trips now and we are NEVER going back to having a friend, neighbor, or family member sit for us. From photos of the pets on every visit to detailed accounts of how the visit went, this company does it all! Cedric is an exceptional person, I am so glad they're watching our pets! You can absolutely rest assured that your home and animals will be in good hands.
We found Sitters for your Critters right as we moved to Chico and used their services regularly for the 7 years we lived there. Owner Kelley Denz and regular sitter Jonathon Greenfield took great care of our two kitties and we always looked forward to seeing Jonathons pro level photos of his visits with them! Just knowing they would be by our property twice a day allowed us to relax and enjoy our times away. The ease of scheduling online and always prompt and friendly communication makes Sitters for your Critters stand out above so many other services. Do yourself a favor and hire these great petsitters!
We have had excellent experiences with Sitter For Your Critter. On our most recent trip, Jonathan took exceptional care of our four cats. I looked forward to getting daily reports and pictures every day. I felt he truly enjoyed our kitties and cared about their well being. I was never concerned about them because I knew Jonathan was taking excellent care of them. Photo cred: Jonathan.
We decided to leave our 2 large dogs with Justin instead of having them kenneled for 5 days. We were anxious about leaving them since we had never left them for more than 1 night before. Justin was extremely flexible and easy to deal with. He made our dogs feel at home, took good care of them and consistently sent us texts and pics to let us know how our doggos were doing. IMO leaving them with Justin was far better than bringing them to a kennel. If we ever have a need for such a service in the future we will definitely be calling McDavitt Pet Care. Thanks Justin!
We are so happy that we have found Justin's Pet Care. Our Lab was not in a kennel, but allowed to be outside playing with the other dogs. I appreciated that fact that Justin would text us photos daily of our dog and answer any questions we might have. We were in constant contact. I would highly recommend Justin!
Just picked up my extremely high maintenance pup from 4 days with Justin. She is happy and tired and had a great time! Justin sent me pictures and updates throughout and accommodated a last minute medication change. Highly recommend!!
We are so happy we found Justin to watch our puppy. We only had Max for a couple months before we needed a sitter due to a pre-planned vacation. I was torn leaving him with a stranger but Justin sent me updates and pictures of Max while we were gone. That made me really happy to know Max was having a great time. Max will definitely see Justin again when we need a sitter!
Justin watched our two cats for five days and we couldn't be more impressed with his service. He is very kind and dependable sending us pictures and updates each day and the kitties seemed to love him! Highly recommend him to care for any critter out there!
Justin takes wonderful care of our dog. He always lets us know when he is feeding and walking her. We will not hesitate to use him in the future.
I needed a sitter for my two puppies last minute and Justin was so kind and accommodating. He took pics and kept in touch. Will definitely use again!
Nacho LOVES his time with Justin. I’m so thankful to have someone I trust with my fur child.
Justin provided excellent customer service and responded right away to my requests. Extremely professional, caring and also reasonably priced. I would recommend his services to anyone.
Justin is very reliable, patient, kind and flexible. Absolutely recommend him!
The best day care pet sitting around! A five star rating from me. Maggie adores Brian and can't wait until she is in his car with all her buddies. She comes home all tired out and ready to just cuddle up for the evening. One happy dog. All of the dogs Brian and Melinda take into their day care are friendly, sociable and fun loving. I feel so fortunate to have met Brian at the dog park a year ago, as I can work full time and know that Maggie is having a great time all day! Plus I get a video or picture every day of the dogs having a blast together.
My Goldie Bella LOVES Brian! She gets so happy when he comes over to pick her up! He definitely is her Best Buddy! When Bella is on a walk with Brian or staying overnight, I know she is in good hands. I have absolutely no worries. I completely trust him with my sweet Bella! I also really appreciate Brian for his willingness to work with adjustments in my schedule and for his texts with pictures of their walks together. I highly recommend A Dog’s Best Buddy!
Brian is truly my dogs best buddy. I rescued Sandy in February, she’s a year and a half old golden doodle, full of energy and excitement. Brian has been caring for my girl twice a week since then, she comes home happy and tired. While I’m at work I know Sandy is having fun, Brian sometimes texts me photos of her day and it always brings a smile to my face. But mostly, I know Sandy is in loving hands. Brian is honest, dependable, flexible and he clearly loves dogs. I don’t know what we would do without him.
Brian and Melinda were great to work with. I was coming to grass valley from Mexico for world fest and needed a dog lover to care for my dog child while I was at the music festival. When I called Brian and told him the situation. He asked all the appropriate questions and emailed me paperwork to fill out and send back to him, and gave me his Face Book Page info. This was all six months prior to the music festival. I checked in with him 2 months and 2 week prior to my boy”s stay and Brian said they were anxiously awaiting his visit. On the day of the arrival Brian introduced my child to his outside of the home to make sure all went well and it did. While I was at the music festival Brain was kind enough to send me pictures of my boy playing and having fun. When I picked my boy up from Melinda ( Brian was working) my boy was very relaxed and happy. I can only tell you if you want someone to love your fur as much as you do, I would highly recommend A Dog”s Best Buddy, because I believe Brian and Melinda really do think of dogs as their buddies.
Brian is fantastic! I always feel so comfortable leaving my dog Watson with him. I started taking Watson to Brian when he was a puppy, under 1 years old. Brian is patient with puppy behavior, and also provides helpful feedback on how they behaved. Brian is fantastic with communication and extremely responsive which is helpful as sometimes plans change with drop off or pick up. I would highly recommend A Dog's Best Buddy Pet Sitting to anyone!
Brian has been the consummate professional dog walker for me. I find him to be thorough, reliable and flexible as his schedule allows. Brian bailed me out of a difficult situation wherein my vacation dog sitter did not honor our agreement and I was left with no back-up plan and only a couple of days to figure things out. Being that I work so much and also have a tremendous amount of love and affection for my dog, Brian helps bridge that gap in my life.
My 10 month old Lab, Gus, has been going to A Dog's Best Buddy Pet Sitting, several days a week over the past several months. Gus loves to spend time with Brian and always comes home well cared for, exercised and tired. Brian sends me pictures of Gus throughout the day and keeps me posted on Gus's activities. I never have any concerns when leaving Gus at a Dog's Best Buddy Pet Sitting and feel so thankful that I found a place to look after my little love while I am at work or traveling. I have also left Gus over night on many occasions and have been equally happy with the care he receives during those times.
Brian has been a great help looking after my 3 year old Austrialian Shepherd, Simon, when I am working or traveling. My dog is full of energy and could get anxious when I am not around. Brian did not have trouble winning Simon’s affection. My dog always looks forward to spending time with Brian. I work long hours and Brian tries to be flexible to accommodate my schedule. He actually picks up and drop off Simon where I work. Without Brian, I do not know how i’d keep my dog and be able to work. He also send pictures of my happy Simon, which serve as pick me up when I’m exhausted at work.
My dog "Chewie" loves her walks with Brian! She comes back exhausted and sleeps all afternoon, such a great outlet for her puppy energy - and excellent socialization too. Brian is super-professional and great to interact with, and i love getting the text-message updates and videos during her walks, I can see she's having so much fun.
Brian is awesome! He is great with dogs--my dog loves spending the day with Brian-she gets walks and dog park play. He is super reliable--stays in touch and is very flexible with schedules. Highly recommend!
Continued great and amazing experience with the Browns😄👍 Now both my fur babies🐶 have stayed with them.Will say 10 out of 10 would stay again. Updates, pics. And all the love and care for them. It 💯gives peace of mind when on a vacation to know your doggies are safe, cared for and treated so well by the Browns. …
The Browns are heaven sent. So friendly so knowledgeable and just the type of dog people you know would take care of your precious dog babies for you while you're away.they send updates every few hours during the day. Lots of pictures and have a great kindness to the animals. Would highly recommend so much better than leaving your baby at a vet.
HAND'S DOWN, THE BEST DOGGIE SITTING EVER!! SUCH GREAT CARE, ATMOSPHERE, WONDERFUL PEOPLE AND ANIMALS, COMFORTABLE, TRUSTING, AND OVERALL, GREAT EXPERIENCE! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE BROWNS TO YOUR FUR BABIES! MY DOGGIE CAME HOME VERY HAPPY 😊 THANK YOU SO MUCH, AND WE WILL BE BACK! 😉 …
The most responsible and kind people I have met. I know of their love for animals. They send me so many updates with pictures of my dog interacting and playing with their dogs. I know they are in good hands when I leave my pets with them. My dog always comes back happy and tired. I highly recommend. I will definitely use the Brown's each time, my pup loves them. She gets more excited to see the Browns than she does me. lol.
I can't say enough good things about Brown's Sitting Services! They were reliable, affordable, flexible with my crazy schedule at the hospital, and my dog absolutely loved going. They took great care of Remmy and sent me tons of pictures of him while I was at work, which always really brightened my day! It made me feel so much better knowing Remmy was having a good time playing with other pups while I was away from him so much for work. 100% recommended!
Our pups have some anxiety issues, which were almost immediately eased. They came home super happy and cuddly, and we got photos throughout the day and got to watch them make themselves at home with them. Happy to find people who genuinely love dogs!
Loved them! They sat my dog for 3 days, knowing she hadn’t spent so much time around other dogs before, and gave me updates on how well she was doing. They were inside and out, and loved all the pictures she sent me on the friends she was making! We live pretty close to them and my dog loved them so much that she actually escaped our house the next day and went straight to theirs wanting more fun lol when they tell you your dog won’t want to leave they mean it 😂
Stellar care & service.. Nate and Nicole took our Puppy Kiko on short notice (Recovering from being spayed) and couldn't have been more professional. I dropped her off being very skittish & watched her through photos in a day, appear a little more confident and at ease. Couldn't ask to meet more caring, obviously educated, kind, and respectful people. My Fiance and I were able to work away from the area, knowing Kiko was in the best hands. Truly God Sent for us.
My wife and i were very pleased with this service. They were very responsive and sent several pics of Nekita to us while on our honeymoon so we didnt worry. Thanks again :)
Great people and great environment for anyone who needs there dog watched left my 6 month old wolf dog with them couldn't be more happy with the way they took care of him he loved it so much he didn't wanna leave lol but definitely 5 star service.
All of our dogs have loved Canine Connection! We have been including Canine Connection classes/training/boarding for the past 15 years. Dr Sarah and staff have helped to get our last puppy to come out of his shell and he shines with confidence now. We have learned so much and are always pleased with the classes and behavior of our dogs. Canine connections staff absolutely love dogs and take such great care of them.
As first-time dog parents, I don’t think I’m overstating the fact that we wouldn’t have made it through puppyhood without Canine Connection!! Within just two weeks of bringing Desi home, Dr. Sarah conducted an in-home consultation, patiently addressing ALL our concerns. We then enrolled Desi in Puppy Kindergarten and initially tried Puppy Social Hour, but since she wasn’t quite ready, we switched to the Shy and Small Dog Social Hour. For about the first six months, Desi would hide under our chairs during playtime and struggled to interact with other dogs. Fast forward 2.5 years, thanks to the positive and caring support from Canine Connection, our once shy and anxious puppy is now the life of the party! She still enjoys daycare once a week, and when we need to board her, we trust that she’s in excellent hands.
I would give 6 stars if possible! I could write an essay on how fabulous Canine Connection is for our furry children. I currently have my second German Shepherd in their loving hands. My first GS was a rescue and so scared. Sarah helped me get him happy and friendly and he loved playing at day care and boarding when I was gone. My second GS came to me as a puppy. I utilized puppy social, kindergarten training, daycare, boarding and grooming services which all contribute to the friendly, happy 100# dog he is today. CC is his second home, and he runs to the gate as soon as he arrives. Facilities are safe and clean, staff is loving, friendly, patient and educated in positive dog training. I think I trust CC more than my own family to care for my sweet fur baby Bohdi. His smile tells me he loves CC!
Why we love The Canine Connection. Dr. Sarah Richardson knows dogs! This is clear in the training classes she offers at The Canine Connection. Like people, dogs have different personalities. We have three Aussies with very different personalities and needs. Because of the variety of classes offered our dogs have flourished. Indie, our curious one, loved the Cognitive Canine and Hounds Around Town, anxious Eli was able to be with other dogs and have fun in Fungility and Abu, our blind dog, became more confident after attending Shy Dog Socials. Dr. Sarah also has a well-trained knowledgeable staff. Our dogs love them! Finally, understanding training isn’t just training your dog it is really about enhancing your relationship with your dog. This is the greatest benefit for us with our dogs! Thank you Canine Connection!
Lovely people, you will encounter playful dogs greeting ither loving owners when you go for your furry friend. There are a variety if helpful services and my dog seems glad to arrive, and sleepy on the trip home.
Our dog Maeve was treated so well here in daycare and boarding. She had fun with other dogs and also with the staff. The texts we received with photos always reassured us that she was doing well, safe and happy. Would definitely recommend!
Cannot rave enough about this place. We started with taking our energetic German Shepherd Rescue pup to puppy kindergarten there. 3 German Shepherds later, I can say that the classes have changed our relationship w our dogs over the years. We love playcare and boarding also. The staff is so so loving and my dog runs in and never looks back! They teach owners to see the world through the eyes of their dog and it helps SO much. This is my current girl, Surf and her BFF at playcare.
Canine Connection trainers gave us a solid foundation when we began Puppy Kindergarten. We also participated in Puppy Social Class where we met other wonderful dogs/owners. We made those personal connections because of Canine Connection and have continued weekly walks over the years. In addition to the foundational work, we took several continuing education classes. The trainers are knowledgeable & caring. The classes are personal, informative & very helpful.
My dog, Nutmeg, has been going to The Canine Connection for six years now for various programs and services. He has enjoyed Doggie Daycare and many training classes. He loved the Small Dog Socials. Dr. Sarah has helped him so much with behavioral issues and training as well. I wholeheartedly recommend The Canine Connection as the BEST in Chico and the Northstate!
We LOVE Canine Connection! We adopted our very first dog - Sadie - just this past April(2024). Sadie is a 90-pound Great Pyrenees mix, and we adopted her from the Butte Humane Society. She's a fantastic dog, and it was a great experience to adopt her from the Butte Humane Society. But Sadie is a very reactive dog - so she would charge after other dogs....and even cars!....on our daily walks. We had NO idea what to do - nothing seemed to work. It got to the point where we could no longer take her out because she would charge after anything that moved - barking, running, chasing, lunging, pulling, just crazy! We started weekly lessons with Dr. Sarah and Anna about a month after we adopted Sadie - and then we started doing doggie day care at Canine Connection too. WOW - what a difference!!!! Dr. Sarah and Anna trained both Sadie and our family about dogs, walking your dog, training your dog, just everything. Within a few weeks, Sadie started to calm down on our walks - and we started to have more and more fun with her! Anna is phenomenal - she really worked intently with Sadie to learn her triggers, and how to calm her. It's like a night and day difference now - so much more fun to take Sadie out on walks! We can't thank Dr. Sarah, Anna and Canine Connection enough - they are INCREDIBLE. Very highly recommended. Sadie LOVES doggie day care there too - she always comes home so happy, so relaxed. We are indebted to everyone there - and Sadie LOVES being there with everyone too.......and absolutely LOVES Anna!!! Thank you so so much for everything you have done for us - and for Sadie - you are the best!!!! Our walks now are fantastic - Sadie is having a blast!
