Mary was fantastic from start to finish and looked after our elderly dog with love and attention to her needs. She also looked after our home with respect and care. We couldn't have asked for a nicer sitter and would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.
Amanda was the perfect housesitter and pet sitter for our cat. She is organized and communicative, and took care to ensure she understood the guidelines for taking care of our home and our cat. She left our house in perfect condition and we returned home to one happy kitty! Would not hesitate to have Amanda housesit for us again or recommend her to others looking for a sitter.
Angie and Joe were fabulous pet/house sitters and overall people! Angie sent daily updates with photos. Really appreciate the extra effort they put into watering the grass and garden. The house was exactly the same as when I left (including sheets/towel washed, beds made, frig cleaned, dishes put away and trash taken out...). Pretty sure Mia was looking for them the next day as she ran to the guest bedroom. Already scheduled a second sit! If you're lucky enough to land them as pet sitter then you're lucky.
Once again, having AnnaMarie take care of our pups was absolutely the right choice!! Her frequent updates, care of our house and fur babies was stellar! Although the dogs were thrilled to see us when we returned, as we chatted with Annemarie, we could see them continuing to go to her for affection and cuddles. It was so sweet to watch our one-year-old lick her ear and Annamarie just giggled and happily tolerated it. What a great sport😎. We would highly recommend her to anyone and would also suggest if you happen to see a less than perfect review for her ( there is only 1)I know the true story... it's unfortunate that some people are so unappreciative of someone who will go out of their way to care for their home and Pets (at no charge🙃🙃)-- it just boggles my mind and am confident they are not being honest! Suffice it to say she is a gem and perfect sitter in every way- if you can get a chance to book with her- do not hesitate! We truly think of her as part of our family now and all 5 of our pups would agree!
This was the 3rd time that Jill sat for us. That says it all but please read our previous reviews. They all stand and Jill is one of the best and most reliable and loving pet sitters we’ve ever had. If you have a chance to have her in your home and caring for your pets, you will be absolutely delighted. We love her.
Monique was very nice and easy to schedule with. She sent us pictures of our dog Maisie while we were away, which we enjoyed seeing. Maisie was well cared for and had gotten plenty of exercise by the time we got home. The house was spotless, which was lovely to come home to! She had taken the trash and recycling bins out, even though we hadn’t mentioned them to her before we left. She made sure to let us know if anything was amiss so there were no surprises when we returned. Would definitely recommend her as a pet and house sitter for others. :)
Melanie and Steve were excellent house & pet sitters. They sent me so many pictures of my 3 cats without me even asking and it made me so happy to see them enjoying their company. I'd say out of all the house sitters I've had, they spent the most time with my cats which means a lot to me. They are kind, easy to connect with and I'd welcome them back anytime. As far as caring for my house - top notch.
Andrea was the perfect sitter for our older Italian Greyhound and our shy cat. She followed every request to a “t”, and helped us to feel comfortable and care free for a long zeewoi. The communication of photos and videos were a warm reminder of how well they had been adjusting to our absence. Andrea showed care and consistent compassion for Darcy and Hammy. She seemed to enjoy them and our home as much as us! We returned to an absolutely spotless home, without anything left undone. She thought of everything related to us and our pets, so we could have a seamless late evening return. We highly recommend Andrea for any zeewoi, as she is a jewel. Anyone looking for a “perfect” sitter would be lucky to have Andrea as a trustworthy, considerate and kind person to care for their pets and home.
Laura is incredible! For starters, she is a clear and considerate communicator who is reliable and trustworthy while setting up details for a sit in advance. From there... where do we start?! Laura (and her sister Stephanie, for a few days) took care of our cat & dog for a week-long sit. We were immediately at ease with both of them, and it was clear that they were excited to meet our pets and love them, and relaxed and comfortable in this role. They asked informed and curious questions about our pets, routines, and the surrounding area to set up a successful sit. When we departed, our dog hardly seemed to notice, because she was getting to know her new people! The snuggle-fest and hiking adventures that took place while we were gone resulted in happy pets who were calm and content. We received daily photos, which were heart warming, and assured us that dog hugs and cat exercise were taking place. Our dog is very affectionate, and Laura made sure that she received plenty of love while we were gone. Upon return, our home was spotless - tidy and clean (possibly cleaner than when we left, and we tried really hard!) We are games people, and Laura left us some of her favorite games to play (yay), and gifts for our pets, which were so fun to open when we got home. Everything was so thoughtful and kind. Laura is absolutely one of the top sitters we've ever had, and we are so grateful for her care. She went above and beyond basic home/pet care, and her compassion shines through in all of her communications and actions. She (and Stephanie) are welcome anytime, and we (Zora and Morris especially) hope they will come stay again!
Laura is hands down the best sitter that we have ever had care for our pets and house! Having her stay made our trip away so care free and added a super fun layer of getting her daily (morning and night!) updates with photos and videos, some were hilarious I love Laura’s sense of humor! We were gone 8 days and when’s we arrived home our house was cleaner than when we left, mail on the counter, yard was picked up, it was beyond what we would expect. This made our first day back so easy. Oh’ and our pets were so relaxed and happy we knew they were loved and taken care of while we were away. Laura knew that we were coming home late and she even had bought a yummy quiche, rolls, fruit and juice so that we had breakfast in the morning! Laura is responsive, a great communicator, I could go on but simply put she is welcome at our house anytime. Simply the best!! Thank you tons Laura!!

Stacey has been my go-to for grooming and boarding my standard poodle for over two years now, and I can't imagine working with anyone else. Grooming a standard poodle takes a lot of experience and skill, and her expertise and attention to detail keep my pup looking stunning and stylish. Whenever I'm walking my dog, I'm constantly stopped and asked where I take her for her haircuts! Stacey also provides boarding services, and my dog LOVES playing in the fields of her ranch. Stacey's genuine care for my dog's well-being shines through and I have peace of mind knowing that my pup is well taken care of in a safe and loving environment. I highly recommend Stacey for exceptional care, grooming, and boarding for any dog owner looking for a one-stop-shop for their furry friend's needs. Her grooming waitlist speaks for itself!
Can’t recommend Stacy and her doggy day care enough! We just picked up our dog after staying for 11 days and she was so happy. I could tell she had gotten a lot of exercise and was enjoying the beautiful grounds of the camp. Thank you Stacy! We’ll be back when we go out of town again
My 5 dogs go there from play dates to boarding to training and grooming for the past 7 years. Stace is excellent. She rescues dogs, adopts them, takes in dogs in need along with running an excellent business. She separates big dog play area from small dog play area. In addition, she has 3 separate play areas for all kinds of weather; indoors and outdoors. I highly recommend Happy Tails.
New boarder for our three small dogs. Plenty of room to run around.
We super love this place, they really care about the dogs. We go here for day care and also occasional boarding and it gives me peace of mind knowing my dog is in this place when I'm absent.
Happy Tails Doggy Day Care and Grooming - pampering your pets for the day, week or in the spa. A true coastal canine paradise!
Love this place, lovely staff. Caring and gentle. My Lily looked wonderful. They can highly recommended, and I couldn't agree more. Thank you Happy Tails! 🐩
They are great and quick my 85 lb dog for shampoo and cut took 2 hours!! They are the dream team!!
Buddy, loves his "play days" at Happy Tails. The moment Stacey opens the gate he's off to play with his buddies :-)
I'm a nervous dog father but after meeting everyone at Happy Tails they made me and my dog Roscoe comfortable. Roscoe stayed for 4 days and had a great time. Came home with a bath and nails clipped with a cute bandana. No cages here. Roscoe slept in the house and during the day had a whole yard to run in and view of the ocean. Best place to leave your dog on the coast.
My dogs LOVE these treats! I'm a Dog Trainer & Behavior Consultant that usually uses human food treats but sometimes needs a healthier alternative for certain pups. These treats are as loved by the dogs as the hot dogs! High quality, safe for allergies and food limitations and deemed delicious by dogs! Jessie and Calvin are such kind and generous people and their customer service is fueled by their genuine care for our pets! Thank you so much you guys!
Absolutely wonderful dog food and treats!! My baby is super picky but she loves this food!! Excellent company and super friendly people!!
They have taken care of our German Shepherd many times. The best review comes from her as the Pup at 5 1/2 years loves to spend the day at dog camp.
The best place you can bring your dog! Great prices and awesome staff.
Kris Werner is the best dog/parrot housesitter and dog walker we have ever had, and we've had plenty. She loves animals, and cares for many types from birds to horses. We have used Kris exclusively for over 12 years, both as a house-sitter and dog walker. She is honest, friendly,and extremely reliable and if she is booked, she helps the client find an alternative to meet their needs. My family cannot recommend her more highly.
I have known Kris for about 14 years and every experience I have had with her has been a great one. She runs a very professional business. She is extremely reliable. She is clear in her communications. She is great with the animals. I trust her so much I am willing to let her stay in my home to take care of the animals when I am on vacation or away on a business trip. I enthusiastically recommend her pet sitting services. She is great at working with horses as well!
Kris has been our in-home pet sitter for many years, caring for our cats, bird, and horse. She is warm and loving with all of our animals and they respond in kind. She will follow our directions (and we leave pages of complicated instructions!) to the letter, and, at the same time, she has the sound judgment necessary to deal with an unexpected situation. Our animals are like our children, and we went through a few pet sitters before finding Kris. We trust her with our home and our most prized possessions.
Kris’ Pet Sitting Service has cared for our pets for about a year and we couldnt be happier. We can focus on our busy work schedules and know the dogs are well cared for, happy and safe and in the hands of an experienced professional. I’m very particular about who I trust our dogs with - we love them deeply.... I can completely relax. We feel very fortunate to have Kris walk our dogs and from time to time stay over night for our vacations. Thank you Kris!
I recommend Kris who for the last year has taken very good care of my precious golden retriever. She is extremely reliable and I trust her completely and have great confidence in her skills to care for my dog. Zoey is always happy to see her and loves the time she spends with her.
After my original pet care plans fell through a few days before our 3 week trip, I contacted Slav. He was very responsive and we arranged a meet up the very next day. He answered all my questions and immediately made me feel comfortable leaving our 1.5 year old there for what would be by far the longest we have ever left our pup. Slav agreed to take her and the drop-off and pick-up process went smoothly. He sent pictures everyday and I could tell that HMB Dog House had quickly become her second home. I am very grateful to Slav for accommodating me at the last minute and I absolutely plan to leave our pup with Slav in the future when we go away. This was the first time we had left her with a kennel or professional caregiver since we got her, and I was nervous. So many of the kennels have business models that require you to decide in advance how many times you want your dog to play per day or how many walks you want, etc. I wanted to find a professional that I could trust to use their own judgment and make sure our pup got everything she needed, and Slav was definitely that person. He is great with all the dogs and has set up a beautiful home-away-from-home for our loved ones. Thank you, Slav!
The experience I had with Slav’s boarding is beyond exceptional. I have a Maltipoo puppy and have never boarded my pup before. Slav arranged a meet and greet and spent time quality time easing many of my worries and answering my questions. My pup passed the test and was boarded over the weekend. Slav sent daily pics of my pup and was responsive to texts/emails. Slav is kind, cares for all his dogs and have extensive knowledge of dogs’ behavior. I feel so relieved to have someone trusted like Slav to watch over my pup if I need to board again in the future. Thank you, Slav!!
We brought our 11 month old beagles for their first stay with Slav. We were nervous for the beagles and Slav. After all, beagles are rambunctious and then you add beagle sisters to the mix! Let’s just say, Butter and Dottie had the best time. Slav connected with both of them and understands their needs and personalities. We received updates and photos. The beagles were cared for and very happy. We will use HMBDoghouse again!
Slav is so kind and patient with all the dogs. I love knowing that my pup is in a safe home environment with someone who will look after him as well as Slav does. Adding on -- I've boarded my dog many times and he wags his whole body when he goes inside! I know he's happy there. And Slav has been amazing at accommodating me -- no complaints when my plane was late and he had to keep him an extra night. Slav is super easy to work with and very organized.
Slav is fantastic with dogs! Our chocolate lab boarded with him for the second time now for multi-week stays. Our dog feels very comfortable with Slav and enjoys going there, and we trust Slav fully with our dog. Slav shows genuine interest in the dog’s well being and actually spends time walking the dogs and playing with the dogs. When our dog had digestive problems he even cooked a special diet. Slav is our go-to-person for dog boarding!
This was a great find. Slav takes good care of his canine customers and is very professional and courteous to their owners. I highly recommend this service.
We were a little worried about leaving Bernie for the first time. Bernie was a rescue, he is just over a year and a half old, and he is a large 90 lb dog but shy and submissive. Bernie warms up once he is comfortable and feels safe. Slav had us come for a visit to see how he behaved in a group and Slav immediately understood what kind of dog he was and invited us to have him come to stay. Bernie stayed with Slav for 4 days and Slav uploaded photos every day while we were gone. Bernie was clearly having a fantastic time and feeling right at home. It was such a relief. When we returned to pick Bernie up Slav gave us a quick debrief on how well it went. We would absolutely recommend Slav and will take Bernie back again soon.
Slav took such good care of our Maple while we were away. He has a lovely home and garden and the dogs can all run freely and play— no kennels! Slav sent pictures every day so we knew our dog was being looked after. I’d highly recommend Slav and will return the next time we need to board our dog.
The biggest fear on my way to Slava to pick up Jax after a 10-day-stay was: “What if he doesn’t come home with me!” Jax was adopted only 4 months ago and I hated the idea of boarding him even for a short period of time! Luckily, while checking out my options (my last dog passed away over 10 years ago and I was a bit out of touch), I came across the hmbdoghouse profile. We were lucky that Slava had availability and responded to my request almost immediately. After our meet and greet appointment, I knew right away that we won a lottery!!!!! Slava is very passionate about dogs, he treats them as they are his own. Very calm, charismatic, with a good sense of humor - he has a way of connecting to all dogs and their owners. Daily pictures and reports of Jax’s activities made me really jealous and I had a valid fear that Jax won’t want to leave Slava! Well, Jax is home ❤️ and i am already checking in with Slava to make sure he accepts Jax next time (BTW, I don’t have any traveling plans yet). THANK YOU, Slava!!!!!
Slav was terrific! I was visiting my daughter from out of town and needed a place for my dog to stay so I could spend time with her. At the first meeting, Slav connected with my dog right away and my dog quickly felt comfortable in his home and with the other dogs he was caring for. The dogs have free roam of his well maintained backyard and the living room in his house. Slav walks the dogs twice a day as well. He is caring of the dogs and flexible with drop off and pick up.
The best groomer on the coast. Oliver, our labradoodle, is not a huge fan of grooming but he loves coming to Alicia and does not get stressed at all. We are so happy we found her. Alicia simply loves dogs and it shows.
Alicia was responsive, quick, and easy to contact. She found and removed 6 foxtails from our dog's paws! Our dog had a nice experinece and was treated well.
New shop looks amazing. Alicia does showroom quality work!!
Alicia did a wonderful job and my dogs were happy too
Active Care are like our extended family — we are grateful every week for Sue and her wonderful pack of pups. Without her our life would be incomplete!
Sue is the best! She is sure to make sure your pup returns home nice and tired :)
Great dog walker and does home boarding! No cages! Lives in the home! Sue is fantastic!
Ryan is fantastic! He took great care of my extremely skittish rescue cat with such kindness and skill. I can’t believe how fast they connected. I look forward to having him care for my dog as well. He’s super knowledgeable and clearly loves animals.
We adore Ryan! Ryan has taken care and walked both our boxer dogs. He is such a genuinely good person. He loves all animals, knows how to train, administer medications and make all animals feel safe. I highly recommend Ryan!
Ryan is amazing! Our 2 year old pup is fairly skittish, weary of men, and a little hyper, but adores Ryan (and his family) and comes home happy and calm from her visits/stays with him. Ryan came highly recommended from a friend and we are so happy to have found him!
Ryan took great care of our cat while we were traveling, feeding her and cleaning the litter box in our house. He was very flexible with the timing based on our preference although it was a long weekend and we scheduled kind of late with him. I ended up asking him another favor from the house work and he kindly admitted to do that too. I highly recommend him!
It's been really wonderful working with Ryan over the last few years. Our dog is very particular, and Ryan does a great job taking care of her. We'd definitely recommend Ryan to anyone who needs a great, reliable walker.
Ryan was great! He made sure to always include pictures and an update so I knew exactly how my cat was doing each day. I felt very safe and comfortable leaving my cat in Ryan's care. Highly recommended!
We had last mins request. Ryan showed up each time on time. It is little tricky to get our dog go for a walk with someone that she is not familiar with but Ryan was able make it work. We highly recommend if you need someone that you can trust to take care your furry kids. Ryan shows me he is very knowledgeable about animals and most of all he has a great heart ♥️
Ryan has been incredibly helpful and takes great care of our elderly cat, Sushi, who can't travel with us when we go to Tahoe. Highly recommend, goes above and beyond with both her and our house.
Ryan took such good care of my three kitties while I was away! They aren’t used to strangers but they took to Ryan quickly. He kept me updated with daily photos and I came home to happy, contented cats. Thank you Ryan!
Ryan is the best. He takes such great care of my dog Bodhi. I fully trust that my fur baby is in the best hands when I leave him for doggie daycare. I highly recommend Ryan's services!
We tried a couple of different pet sitters. For each, our dogs gradually came to fear the service - even hide under the deck when the pick-up van arrived. Then we found Sandy Paws. It’s been years now and our dogs are still super excited when the Sandy Paws van arrives each week - you’d think they’d won the lottery :)
Megan & her team at Sandy paws are amazing!! They treat our doggie with love & care!! We have been with sandy paws for almost 2 years. Megan runs her business like a pre-school or camp for human children!! They celebrate birthdays and give you reports on how your loved doggie is doing!! Megan and her team conduct their work with care & professionalism!! We trust Sandy Paws like we would a family member (or more!!). She is very available by phone, text and e-mail & adjusts to our scheduling needs with ease. They have been 100% dependable & we trust them to care for our doggie like we do. I can not recommend this service more highly. Sandy Paws is the best.
Sandy Paws has been taking care of our pets for years, giving us peace of mind when we’re traveling. Megan and the team are phenomenal!
The owner is very sweet and wonderful
The staff!
I was just passing by.
My dog loves going for walks with Amy! I always judge a person by the way my animals react to them; Amy was warmly welcomed by both my cats and dog. Truly a perfect fit! She is very easy to work with. When I'm away it is a great comfort to receive updates from Amy of how my animals are doing. I would highly recommend this service!
We have used Amy's pet sitting services for years now, both for our old (senior/special needs) cat, and now for our two young kittens. She has never let us down. We are so glad to have someone in the area we can trust!
I don't know about the walks I'm sure they're great. But I refferred all my friends to work for her and gave her many hours of service, she didn't even reply to me many times and when she finally did she treated me like yesterday's tomatoes. It seems like it was all fake.
We called for a quote. She heard our dates and immediately said “We don’t have availability on those dates.” and then immediately clicked (hung up) on me without letting me get a word in. Call me old fashioned, but this is certainly not how you interact with potential clients. I was going to consider her business for other dates but wouldn’t because of this lack of basic decency.
