Dog Sitters in Smithflat, CA

We hired Kelley to take care of our two kittens, Blueberry and Hazelnut, while we went on vacation. It was our first time leaving them and we were nervous. Nervous for no reason as it turns out. Kelley was awesome! She showed up twice a day as agreed, made sure the food and water was replenished, cleaned the litter box, and also gave them love and play time! It was obvious that she knew how to handle them. We received updates daily as well as professional looking photos. Our kittens were happy but not as much as we were. Thank you Kelley! We will be calling again next time we go anywhere.

Kelley took care of my pets, Pip (dog) and Popeye (Amazon parrot) for 12 days, staying overnight at my home. Pip loves Kelley, even sleeping with her during my absence. Popeye is super attached to me, but Kelley was able to maneuver around him and even consulted her vet because he was so territorial. That gave me peace of mind knowing she would seek professional help if anything happened to my pets. Kelley even went as far as removing my hanging plants in the front of my home during the sweltering days so they would not be damaged. Kelley also kept a watchful eye on my fruit trees and placed watering bottles in them to help keep them moistened. Kelley also picked up my mail and packages, leaving them on my dining room table. Kelley kept my home in great condition while I was gone, even washing all the linens on the bed in which she slept...and remaking the bed!! I had total peace of mind while I was on vacation, knowing that everything and my pets were in great hands! I already plan to use Kelley in the future! I highly recommend Kelley of Bark to Barn! I had read many good things about her from various sources before hiring her. She met all my expectations and more! And my pets were happy to remain home!

What a fantastic experience! My cats loved the way Kelley paid attention to them. She did so many small, but special things, like giving them treats, sweeping the floor around the litter boxes. She really stood out. Don't hesitate getting her to take care of your pets.

I was finally able to take a real vacation after about 4 years because of Kelley and her Bark to Barn Pet and Farm Sitting services. I am not comfortable with just leaving my multitude of animals, which includes domestic and livestock with just anyone, but after meeting with Kelley and giving her the rundown on what needed to be done at my property, I knew immediately that she would be the one I could trust. Kelley did a fantastic job while I was away. She kept me updated with short, to the point messages and would add a photo here and there as well. She also had to care one-on-one for one of my goats who was very old at the time and needed medication every day. He actually went down one day and she followed my instructions on how to get him righted which was successful, and she did all of this during a week of pelting rain. So, I highly recommend Kelley for her Bark to Barn Pet and Farm Sitting services because while you are away you will be able to relax and know your pet crew are all in good hands. Thanks again Kelley…

Kelley has been is extremely pleasant to work with. During the last couple of times she’s been able to fit us in during last minute requests. While she had other duties regarding other animals, she never simply said no, she always found a way to help us as best she she could. It’s nice to find someone who is reliable, licensed, bonded and insured which also provides a piece of mind. I will definitely utilize Bark to Barn Pet & Farm Sitting for my future pet sitting needs. Thank you again, Kelley.

Kelley has taken care of our Golden Retriever many times when we have taken short trips. She is very professional and her love of animals is evident in how well she takes care of them. She offers many services and our dog Ginger really enjoys her outdoor mountain adventure trips to the snow with Kelley. If you are looking for dog, cat, horse, or even having your Llama taken care of, she should be your first choice!

We are always happy to have Kelley watch our pug and home when we are away. Kelley is reliable, conscientious, and obviously loves caring for animals. What a relief not worrying about the house and dog when Kelley is there. She goes out of her way to help us and we appreciate her update texts and photos. Kelley and her Bark to Barn Pet and Farm Sitting is the best!

I never thought we would find someone like Kelley. Because of this we travelled less and less over the past few years with so many beloved critters who depend on us and are used to being spoiled (as it should be). But we found her this year, she exceeded our expectations and we are beyond pleased! Kelley is smart, thorough, professional and caring. She is an excellent communicator, provides regular updates and and her attention to detail & thoughtful surprises are worth far more than her reasonable fees. She simply takes care of everything — she’s fun/funny, and oh-so passionate about each and every animal (no matter what species)../as if they were her own children. We are grateful to have found her and look forward to many ‘adventures away’ in the future with the priceless peace of mind knowing that Kelley is in charge of protecting our farm, home and precious fur babies!

Our two Labradoodles just had a week long extended stay with “Auntie Kelley” and they’re still raving about their week! Daily walks, play, and attention! Once we met Kelley and worked out the details, we didn’t look back! Very professional and attentive, knowledgeable about dogs, communicative - we got daily updates and pictures - we could not have asked for more. What a blessing to have someone to trust your pets and home with. Thank yooooouuuu! We’ll be back! ♥️

Reliable, friendly, hard working farm sitter that I highly recommend to anyone looking for peace of mind while away from your critters. My alpacas and chickens were well cared for and our pup got the love and attention he needed. Finding someone you can trust will have your animals best interest in mind is hard, but kelly was very organized kept me updated and I had full confidence all of my animals were well looked after.

Was so lucky to have found Stacey! Just moved to the area and was worried about who was going to watch them. Stacey was great, stopped by to get to know the kitties, their schedule and personalities. Stacey also checked in each day with updates and photos. I felt secure knowing they were all taken care of. Looking forward to my next trip knowing I won’t have to worry about them.

Steven & Stacey are the best!! They take such good care of our pup. I love that I get daily pictures while I’m away so I can rest easy that Leo’s having a great time in my absence. I appreciate that there’s options to either board our pup at their home or they’ll make house visits - whatever works best for you. They always make an effort to accommodate, and are incredibly responsive. Thank you endlessly Steven & Stacey!

Our boy Vinz just had his first stay with Stacey and Steven. They were amazing! So patient with our boy since he is still a pup! They sent pictures while we were away and let us know how he was doing throughout his stay. This gave me great peace of mind since it was our first time leaving him. You can see how passionate they both are about animals and love knowing how happy Vinz was. We will definitely be using Pawsome pets again!!

Steve and Stacey are wonderful! They love our pups like their own. They sent daily updates and photos showing their “happy” faces, which put our minds at ease. We can travel knowing our pups are safe and happy and getting the best of care. It means so much to know that they were in such good hands. Highly recommend!!

Steve and Stacey are amazing! They love our pups like their own. We can travel knowing our girls are getting the best of care.

So happy to find an amazing place for my dog close to home. Stacey and Steve are amazing caretakers for your animals. They took great care of my dog, I loved getting pictures, videos and updates daily. My dog came home so happy, clean and well cared for ! The property is well fenced and kept my dog in , she was able to run and explore all she wanted. I loved seeing pictures of her playing with the other dogs, and getting love from Steve and Stacey as well as getting warm by the fire 😎 Highly recommend. They are very affordable.

I am so grateful for Pawsome Pet Services. They have cared for my 3, and now 2 (RIP Miss Roxy), fur babies since 2018. One of my pooches is blind and the other is deaf. Pawsome is especially caring and goes the extra mile to make sure they are both safe and happy. I highly recommend Pawsome Pet Services!

Our miniature poodle stayed at Pawsome Pet Services while we went on vacation. I received daily text updates and pictures which was great. Buddy got along great with the other dogs it was nice knowing that he was well cared for while we were away. We will definitely be using Pawsome Pet Services again and I am recommending them to our family and friends.

Pawsome Pets is awesome! Like many of us, my dogs are my babies and when they’re at Pawsome Pets, they’re treated like a member of their family! They have full run of the house and yard. I get daily pictures of them playing with other pups or snuggling in the owner’s lap etc. Pawsome Pets allows me to go on vacation without worrying about my babies at all. They think they’re on vacation!!

Pawsome Pet Services is the best! Stacey and Steven are wonderful people who truly love animals. They have welcomed our dog in their home multiple times and he is always excited to see them. It is wonderful to have peace of mind when we travel, knowing our animals are well cared for and loved!

I love this place. Jeremy and Alicia have always taken great care of my 3 babies, ever since I started flying to the east coast, regularly, for work. They always send me picture updates and let me know how they are doing. My dogs are always tired out after i pick them up, and they are always happy when i bring them back. So i know they are doing something right. And their prices are very reasonable, better than other kennels. Thanks guys for everything that you do. 👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My dog, Maia, loves staying at PDH! And if she loves it, I do too! Both the owners are great people and really love taking care of dogs, and it shows! I wish I had found them a couple years ago, but in my life everything happens as it should. Every picture I'm sent while Maia is there, I can tell Maia is happy and having a good time. And when I'm there to pick her up she's not dragging me to the car wanting to rush home, cuz she wasn't happy stayin in whatever curfuffle she dealt with....which has happened with other sitters or boardings I've tried. And for me, and my weird life, the fact that Alicia and Jeremy are flexible with keeping Maia more days than I planned for is huge for me! Maia chose them to take care of her, as long as the pool is full, the treats are a plenty and she's treated like family and is allowed on the furniture with the peoples... shes happy as a clam. And, I know better than to let a husky review anything, cuz they are highly vocal, and all, but for me with Maia its her body language when she's around people that speaks more to me ... and with both Jeremy and Alicia, she leans in to being petted and smiles. Says volumes to me about Maia's opinion of them, and to me, makes every dollar I spend for Maia to be with them is well worth it!!!!!!!

We have boarded our dogs and our cat many times with Alicia and have nothing but good things to say about them. They are very conscientious of our pets needs or special needs if required. We get pictures of our pets while in their care to be assured they are doing well.

We recently boarded our 13 year old dog for one week at PDH, and can't say enough about the great care provided. Our pet came home happy and playful.

Great home for your puppies when you're away on vacation! I love Placerville Dog House. We use them often. They're a little off the beaten path, but well worth the drive. They are always professional and easy to work with. And their pricing is much more competitive than anywhere else in the area. Happy Customer. Highly recommend!

Amazing! We took our 6 month old German Shepherd Maui here today for doggy daycare (aka "playcare" as Alicia perfectly describes it) so he could socialize with other pups and burn some energy. Judging by how he is zonked right now and the look on his face when we picked him up, he had the best time. We were immediately greeted upon arrival and Alicia and Jeremy gave us a quick tour of the place. The backyard play area is incredible and has multiple obstacles, tunnels and room for pups to explore. You can tell a lot of thought and work was put into the space. Alicia and Jeremy were extremely kind and knowledgeable, and we felt 100% safe leaving our boy there for the day. They brought out a few different pups to introduce to Maui to see how he would do, and all went great. It ended up raining while he was there, and of course he got muddy playing with all of his new friends. These guys are so awesome that they gave him a nice rinse and dry down before we left so he'd be good to go for the car ride home. All in all this was an amazing experience and we will be back for any and all of our boarding/play date needs! PS: Alicia also takes great photos!

We are so glad we found Alicia's Leash Animal Services. Not only are they conveniently located to suit our needs but the care they provided our dog was top notch and much better than a typical kennel situation. We will definitely be using them for our future boarding needs. Angie gives them a 5 star rating!

Great place! We just moved to the area and needed a place to board our dog overnight. Alicia's Leash was wonderful and took our dog last minute. I was a little nervous dropping our dog off because she is quite shy but she did great and I knew she was in good hands. They took excellent care of her and she seemed to have a lot of fun. They have a big shaded area for the dogs to play in complete with tires, grass, tunnels, etc. and all the dogs sleep indoors at night. We will definitely be back!

They have a beautiful spot in the mountain. Not commercial at all. Just a home converted to a dog care facility. The play area is contained well and has tunnels and igloos buried around for the dogs. Jeremy and Alicia are really nice. Highly recommended!

It was my first time taking my dog boarding and we went to Alicia’s Leash. Alicia is super nice and great with animals! She made me feel so comfortable to keep my dog there overnight and she also sends you pictures and videos of your dogs playing with the other dogs! I would 100% recommend Alicia’s leash to anyone that wants to be able to relax on a vacation or business trip and know that your dog is in great hands! Also when I picked up my dog she even made a magnet with our dogs picture! I can’t wait to take my dog back for day care so she can play with all her friends!

Maggie and Ruger's friends will be missed. We have been coming here for nearly 7 years and will miss all 4 legged dogs on Fridays. Beth, the owner and the employees are by far great. Thank you, ~Dean&Shellie ~SEMPER FI~

Absolutely amazing place for your pup to get some zoomies out! I took my dog here years ago & now with our new pup we needed a place to take her while we are either working or just wanted her to make & play with new fur friends. The staff is awesome & super friendly. The place the dogs with like minded pups as to keep the energy levels even. You can drop off for short periods of time or all day if needed which is nice. After Gizmo's first two days there she was so tired she fell asleep immediately in the car haha My little tasmanian devil was beat! She was so happy an excited. So happy she has some new fur friends to play with there. Definitely recommend

They took good care of our 16 yr old poodle mix. We think they gave her a lot of attention and she loved it! They soiled her!! We will board her with them next time.

Our fur baby LOVES it here and it shows. The excitement she shows when pulling up is insane, they are great with the dogs.

We have a 11 month old berenese and she has been going to Linda, Beth and the staff at uppity ever since we got her. She loves to play with her friends and as sad as it sounds she never wants to leave 🤣 . My dog is well taken care of and loved and its a relief to not worry while I am at work.

My dog absolutely loves the day care. The first couple of visits she was iffy walking in but now she flies out of the car and is so excited to see her doggy and human friends. I don't worry about her at all while she's there.

There's an employee named Max that might look like an Alaskan Bushman somedays. But he's one of those people all dogs like they can tell who's good and who's evil. Plus he's my best friend so I know he's good. Anyway good place if you need dog baby sitter

Friendly staff, veteran discount and I know my dog is safe and happy.

Not recommend unless it’s your very last choice. For daycare: they use big area pens for bigger/smaller dogs which are good but the smell was HORRIBLE. Human can’t stand a second of that smell not to mention your pups. For boarding: the iron small cages they use it’s literally the same as PRISON. They claimed to put quiet dogs and louder dogs in two areas but the fact is the quiet areas are all crazily barking dogs (small&big). The iron cage is very small, and there’s no window, no air, no natural light, and also smell so bad. They are so short of staff. Two people in charge of ~10 daycare dogs, plus ~50 boarding dogs. If you can accept that, then you can choose their cheap price. If not, don’t go.

We boarded our dog here for 2 days/1 night while whitewater rafting in the area. We felt very misled. Our rescue pup is half pit bull and half other things. We had a long conversation with a worker guy here about her play style and told him her breed when we made the reservation. I also sent in the paperwork and her medical records in advance. We were assured that she would get to play with other dogs. We reiterated her play style when we dropped her off and were assured that all was good and the dogs' play was supervised. Then when we picked her up a different older woman told us that our dog didn't even get to play with other dogs at all b/c she was half partially pit bull. Apparently, she only got one-on-one time with humans but never got to play with anyone. If this is the place's policy, they should have told us that when we made the booking or dropped her off and continued to talk to them about play time. Not led us to believe she was getting play time or at least a chance to take a temperament test and see if she got along with the others in boarding. Yet another example of unfounded pit bull discrimination in California. It's fine if that's he facility's policy..that's their choice. But I just wished they would have told us and not made it a surprise at pick up. If we knew this policy, we would have looked for another boarding facility b/c our pup deserves at least a chance to play. A generous 3 stars only since it seems that she was fed properly and returned to us with no injuries and the price is good for the area .

She’s an amazing pack leader 🤍 My shy girl enjoys being there with her and her new friends ♥️ Definitely a safe place to call (2nd home) …

Swansboro vacation care is the best.

Elizabeth is the best. I am so fortunate that she is a neighbor and friend. She is 100% there for her customers (the dogs) . My dog loves her.

Dependable and personal care for your pets when you are away. Elizabeth treats them like you would. Highly recommended.

Always there when needed. Wouldn't use anyone else. goes above and beyond.

Reagan took AMAZING care of our beaded dragon Toothless. We got regular updates and never had to worry! The best pet sitter in El Dorado County!

What a sweet girl! I had Reagan watch my 3 dogs and 2 cats and we had nothing to worry about. Can't wait to hire her again for my next vacation. Thank you Reagan!

Took great care of our Tiny Boy chihuahua! Will definitely use their services again.

Stephanie is amazing! We really loved working with her and we know our pup loved the time with her & Marshmallow!!! She was always flexible for drop off and pick up times and our pup was spoiled with her, sleeping with her at night on her bed instead of her crate. Stephanie also worked on training our lil’ pup with better manners and we swear she’s a much better pup now than before. We would highly recommend her services and are so happy we found her. We’ll be her customers for life!!

We are so happy we found Happy Paws! Stephanie is a true dog lover! It is so comforting to know our dog is in such great hands when we need to leave town, or when we are working late and need someone to swing by to feed her dinner. She is also very responsive and flexible with scheduling, and so pleasant to interact with. I love that she sends updates while she is caring for our doggy!

Stephanie is amazing with our dogs and they love her! We always trust her 100% with them when we go out of town for just a day or overnight for a few days. I definitely recommend Happy Paws.

Happy Paws is awesome! Stephanie and her wonderful crew of pet sitters took care of my cats while we were away for a week and did such a great job! They are very caring, conscientious and wonderful. They keep you up to date on how your pets are doing with texts and videos/pictures. Even my timid cat let Stephanie hold him, that's saying a lot! Knowledgeable and professional I would highly recommend them!!

We had an amazing experience with Happy Paws. We were gone for 10 days and Stephanie visited and took care of our cat daily and I know Alfie was one happy kitty for the company. Stephanie even sent us pics and videos to show us how well they were getting along. It was fun to see and very reassuring. When we returned, Alfie was very relaxed and happy to see us. In the past when we would leave him alone for a couple of days he would whine at us for a good hour, but not this time. I highly recommend Happy Paws and will definitely use them again in the future. 🥰

Stephanie is the best! She has watched our pup over several long weekends for us. She is a pure animal lover, I am never concerned about the well being of our dog while he is in her care. We plan to continue to use Stephanie for the foreseeable future.

Stephanie is an amazing human! My dog Jax has been afraid of humans for the longest time… Pretty much ever since I rescued him from Bradshaw Humane Society… Within two visits Stephanie was able to leash Jax by herself and he’s actually got to the point now where he will do the play Bow and give her kisses 🐕❤️🌈. If you ever need someone to assist with dog walks… Sleep overs… or take your pet to other appointments Happy Paws is the place! My life has improved having them in it… I know that sounds dramatic but it’s true! One less thing I have to worry about 🥰 Sincerely, Lori Mitchell RN Owner of Aesthetics bu Lori

We are very pleased with the service. Stephanie took such a great care of our puppy. She is very friendly and loves all dogs of any breeds. She is very knowledgeable and patient with dogs. We are so to find her.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place!! Stephanie and her team are the best I have a little Bully that is very timid at first when meeting new dogs and people. Stephanie made sure and took the time with each new person and dog and exposed him to many things that affected him in such a positive way!!!

My pups have found a wonderful home away from home! Stephanie is a calm, loving presence for the dogs and they really respond to her. So grateful to be able to leave them with peace of mind knowing they’re looked after and happy!

Sammy is my precious "Buddy". When life takes me where he can't go, i will only leave him with Sophia (Duke's Pet Sitting). Sophia treats him like i do. She "loves on him" and plays with him. Her attention to his needs is what i like best. I am thankful to have Duke's pet Sitting available!

Sophia is our go-to and preferred pet sitter! She’s extremely professional, extremely responsive, and our pets are always well taken care of. Sophia has watched our cat a couple of times while we were always for long and short vacations. We also recently booked Sophia to walk our dog too! We are grateful to have found her on Rover and can book with peace of mind knowing our pets are in fantastic hands!

Sophia was amazing with our elderly dog. He warmed up to her right away and she took great care of him while we were away from home. We have already booked her again for our next trip. I highly recommend Sophia for your pet sitting needs!

We have been using Sophia regularly this summer to take care of our large dog Nash when we travel and we are so happy to have found her! She is great with Nash, but also very reliable, flexible, and communicates availability quickly. We love getting pics of our pet while he is in her care. She is our first and favorite option and would highly recommend!

Sophia is our go-to sitter when we need to leave the dogs at home. It gives us such peace of mind knowing they are taken care of while we are away. She not only takes care of the dogs, but has been great about watering plants when needed and always makes sure our house is safe and secure while we are gone. We get photos during her visits and our dogs are always calm and happy when we get back home!

Sophia is the only pet sitter I use for my two cats. They are scared of anyone else but her and she takes great care of them. She also sends me pics! She is wonderful!!!

Sophia is very dependable and trustworthy and my very anxious dog seems to be warming up to her! Very happy with her and have hired her quite a few times now.

Sophia took care of my two old cats - one who needed special meds. I got text updates/photos every day. I will definitely call Sophia for future pet sitting needs.

Sophia did an awesome job watching our pups while we were out of town- and even sending us pictures. We will certainly use her again!

My bernendoodle Milo had a fantastic time! They were able to take him somewhat last minute, which also totally saved my life. I got consistent updates, and Milo came home happy & tired :)

My dog is an active husky and slightly timid/anxious without me around. After a recent escape adventure from a friends house, I was really nervous to board him anywhere but had to leave someone suddenly for a family emergency. I was so lucky that Gina had space, as Dogwoods Resort was the only place I was really willing to consider. Gina is so good with the dogs, and the property is absolutely perfect, with large fenced areas for them to run around. Being a helicopter mom, I went in for a meet and greet before our reservation and after seeing the place and meeting Gina, any concerns I may have had were put at ease knowing that my dog would be safe, have lots of room to play, and could be social with other dogs. He came home dirty, tired and happy and that is exactly what I wanted for my pup. I know it can be hard to get a booking, but I understand why - I wouldn’t want to leave my dog anywhere else. Can’t recommend this place enough.

Gina and her family provide the best care for our pup! Lots of activity on beautiful property. We wouldn’t be able to leave town if it weren’t for Dog Woods Resort 😃 …

I have been taking my dogs to Dog Woods for at least 10 years. I wouldn't take them anywhere else. The property is beautiful and I know Grizzly is being well cared for and having fun all day with the other dogs. When he comes home he sleeps for hours. It is not your typical daycare. Gina does a really fantastic job. Communication is excellent and it's easy to book a reservation. Grizzly loves Dog Woods. He will be back often.

Our fur babies love going to Auntie Gina's! They will vocally express their excitement and wag their tails once we turn onto the road leading to Dog Woods. We miss them while we are away, but know they are extremely well taken care of and most of all loved. Jeff and Dalaina

I have brought my Great Dane here many times, Gina takes amazing care of my dogs, and all of the dogs in her care. Easy booking, great communication, and lovely facility. If your dog needs a place to have fun while you’re on vacation this is the place to go.

Our pups have stayed with Dog Woods several times over a couple of years. We have a rescue that is overly cautious of new people, but is excited every time we pull up to the Resort. Moose, Pua, and their humans 100% recommend.

Dog Woods resort is truly a home away from home! Gina is awesome. Very welcoming, the dogs are all happy playing and running around inside this beautiful property. The reservation process is so easy, very professional and you don’t have to worry about a thing! We highly recommend this amazing place!

Great place for our two dogs to have a vacation while we were on vacation. Beautiful open space for the dogs to roam, play and run. Our dogs were well cared for, communication was superb, and the web service for scheduling, notifications, and overall ease of use for us was fabulous. Thank you Dog Woods Resort for an amazing experience.

My pup Gideon LOVES DWR! He gets SO excited every time we pull up to the property and shows Gina all kinds of love when he see's her. His humans love DWR too! Booking his visits is super easy and the communications around confirmations, payment, etc. is fantastic! DWR is PAWSOME!

Dogwoods is unlike the normal commercial dog boarding places. Your dog is not just another $ sign here. They take the time to get to know their clients and the clients parents. Dogwoods also makes accommodations for dogs with special needs and senior dogs who need a little more attention. You can rest, assured your dog will be in great hands and allow to enjoy your vacation knowing your dog go is having a blast and is being well cared for!

I lived in Flagstaff Az for 21 years and moved to Placerville almost a year ago! Becky was a life saver for me as my little girl Harleigh was severely injured just weeks before my move. Becky took care Harleigh and her sister Callahan until all of my moving was done. She took Harleigh to all her vet appointments in Cameron Park for me…this took a huge weight off my shoulders during what was a VERY stressful time anyway. If I could give her 100 ⭐️ I would
