Another amazing sit by Anna and her lovely family - our cocker spaniel Holly has had the best fortnight with these guys with lots of adventures and endless amounts of love and attention! Highly recommend as 5-star house and pet sitters - thank you Anna - hope to see you again!
Kelly and Pat arrived the evening before I left on my trip so we were able to have a nice visit and get to know each other a bit. They asked many questions about the dogs and the house so that they would feel comfortable with the pet sit. Piper and Zuria were very comfortable with them. They sent pictures from dog walks, kept me informed and promptly notified me when there was one simple issue that they handled very well. I’m not able to speak to the condition of the house on my return because a second sitter came right after Kelly and Pat and before I came home. They spent time with the new sitter so that she would know how to take care of the dogs and negotiated the transfer time. Kelly and Pat are a lovely couple and very interesting to talk with. I feel lucky that they were able to take care of Piper and Zuria and would love to have them back again.
Lisa and her friend Sara were amazing pet and house sitters! We can't say enough great things about them - our pets were so calm when we returned from our trip and so happy... Lisa and Sara kept in touch with us regularly and sent us beautiful photos of the pets as well. We returned to a spotless home, fresh flowers and a note with polaroids of Soy, Calvin and Chickie! We absolutely loved hosting Lisa and Sara and highly recommend them, they are some of the best sitters we have ever had and they're welcome back anytime!!
Hanna did an excellent job sitting Molly, Eddie, Jasper, and Miley. She communicated well, took notes on our initial meet and greet. She went out of her way to help us get the dogs to a kennel when we experienced a family emergency and could not extend her sit due to work commitments. The dogs loved her and the shy kitties came out of greet her mid stay. She left our home immaculate and well cared for. She is truly a winning pet sitter in our eyes! We hope she can come again sometime.
Lindsay and Bryce provided excellent care to our two cats while we were gone. They are great communicators, took amazing care of our apartment and send regular updates and photos so that we knew all was going well. We would absolutely recommend them as responsible and thoughtful pet sitters who can be entrusted with the care of your home and pets.
Angelica was a wonderful pet sitter for our dog Rosie! She was easy to communicate with before and during the sit (very responsive), and made time to do a walk through of our house/intro to Rosie prior to the sit. She was extremely reliable throughout the process, and left our house really neat. Rosie was happy when we got home! We'd be happy to have Angelica sit for us again and would recommend her to anyone!
Elaine was the best dog and cat sitter I have ever had! She was so loving to the boys, kind, reliable, capable and took fabulous care of my two dogs and cat welfare. Walked them every day and would even sing to them (-: I am so very grateful to have had the pleasure of meeting Elaine and I would recommend Elaine to anyone wanting first class care of pets and home!!! We all miss having her around and wish her a fabulous world trip and safe journey back to the States.
Jacob sat for us during our holiday in March. We do not have any pets but we do have garden plants etc to look after. Jacob did a fantastic job of looking after the young plants that had arrived by post the day before we went away. He sent us regular updates and photos of how the plants were doing. We came home to a very clean and tidy house and thriving plants. Jacob did a great job and we have no hesitation in recommending him. If he comes back to the Uk and we require a sitter we will contact him first. Well done Jacob.
Megan and her partner were INCREDIBLE pet & house sitters during my 5 days away last month. I received consistent communication in the form of updates & photos and I had the true sense that Megan was invested in the wellbeing of my animals and truly enjoyed being with them! My house was CLEANER than I left it (immaculate!) and she left a sweet card thanking us upon our return. Truly the best sitting experience I've had thus far, thank YOU so much!
Elaine was a welcomed sitter for Cyrus and Purrelli. I returned from holiday to find a very content relaxed dog and a happy fat cat. Purrelli doesn’t eat when he is stressed so seeing a little meat on him let me know he was content and happy :) My condo was left clean and in order, all communications were smooth and there was zero issues. Thx for the great pet care Elaine.

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!
We have been using Auburn Kennels for at least ten years. The animals love it and the care is wonderful.
My dog loves to go to auburn kennels. When I pick her up she always heads back to the door to go back in. She doesn’t want to leave. That makes me feel so good knowing she loves it. The staff is friendly, professional and they love dogs and cats. The kennel is in a beautiful area of auburn, hilly with lots of trees. I wouldn’t leave my pets anywhere else. I would chsnge my plans so my dog could stay there.
Great prideful owners. They take good care of all the dogs and the dog’s areas.
We have been boarding our 2 pointers at Auburn Kennels for 5-7 days at a time over the last several years and have never had a bad experience. The owners are incredibly responsible and easy to get ahold of. Our latest need involved a family emergency on Christmas day. They were willing to arrange a special drop off and accommodated our dogs with only a same day notice in an effort to help us out. So thankful for a place like this that we can rely on without worry.
Auburn Kennels is wonderful!! They treat our dogs so well!! They allow us to travel and know our dogs are being taken care of...
We have been boarding our dog Boomer (my 4th child) with Auburn Kennels since he was about 8 months old and I can honestly say that when he is boarded there, with the amazing, caring staff and other dogs I do not worry about his welfare for one moment! The space is large, they have pools in warmer weather for the dogs to play in, the runs and kennel area are clean and big enough for our 100 lb pup to romp and sleep comfortably. Boomer is excited to go and visit everyone and he is excited to come home and sleep for a day or so after his play date! We highly recommend Auburn Kennels, amazing people and all of the dogs that Boomer plays with are wonderful with him.
Always attentive and friendly with the pets. Service arrangements are so easy After the first visit. My dog is very happy to go there!”
My dog was happy and healthy after a week here! I showed up too early unknowingly and Sylvia helped me out right away anyways. The property is great for dogs :)
I know my dog is treated well and has plenty of room to play and a space to get away from others when needed.. The location is beautifully tucked into the Auburn hills. Heated kennels in the Winter, and swamp cooled int he Summer.
Wonderful place!!! Our dog had so much fun! You can tell the owners care about every animal that comes to their facility. They carefully consider personalities and take great care of them!!!
Very professional. On time. House looks great, and our border collie, Bear, couldn't be happier.
My pups, Alfonso and Oillie love staying at the Best Friends Pet Hotel! They are so quiet on the way home. Exhausted from fun! They love the staff. Constantly running around them even as we are trying to leave! Haha They are so happy. I have them groomed after each stay, they smell wonderful!! Pictures from different pickups!! Another stay! Groomed before pick up! Handsome and happy🐶🐶 Love the bow tie on Ollie 🤭
I am so glad Miranda and Sunflower Grooming have joined forces with Best Friends Pet Hotel! It’s a perfect match and one-stop shopping! Miranda is not only an amazing groomer, but she’s also a dog lover! Her entire staff is sweet, caring and professional! I will never have anyone else care for my animals!
My big boy Bengal, Dezi had a great time here. The facility was very nice and clean too. He got his own two room suite! The staff made him feel safe and loved and he wasn’t stressed when I picked him up. This was his first time away from home and I wasn’t sure how it would go. He will be coming back to visit again.
I have used Best Friends since 2002. All of my dogs have done great and I had a dog with some “issues” and she was handled well. There were never any problems after their visit at the “spa” as we referred to it. My two small dogs just returned from their spa visit and Max was on medication and he did great and our Gracie was happy too. Highly recommend!! 🐾🐾
Kirby's first boarding experience at Best Friends was wonderful! He got along great with the other cats, and it was clear the staff truly care for animals. I highly recommend this Best Friends location for anyone needing extended pet care.
I know Miranda as a professional groomer and a kind and sympathetic girl. I love the new home where she and her staff will continue taking care of our pets. I recommend Sunflower Grooming and Best Friends Pet Hotel to everyone who's looking for quality service, attention and love to animals!
We brought our Golden, Lola, here for the first time for a full grooming experience. She is terrified of loud noises--the girl who met us at check-in was extremely gentle with our dog, calming, and got her to settle down. We knew immediately that Lola was in good hands. They brought Lola out looking better than she ever has at any other grooming appointment--complete with a fresh bandana and bow. We loved our experience here!
First time with Best Friends over the Christmas holiday. She was pretty excited to go with the staff and seemed great when we picked up. We had a long delay on our return train ride and the staff was very understanding. I felt very comfortable with her accommodations and would definitely use them again next time we travel.
Best Friends pet boarding, daycare in Carmichael. The staff here is awesom! My Pebbles and BamBam really enjoy their overnight stays! They get lots of attention, treats and best of all have piece of mind knowing the loving care they are getting! Highly recommend boarding and Doggy day camp!
They took such great care of my big boy Benjamin! I’ve heard so many great things about this place and I’m so glad I finally gave them a try. I will be back for more overnight stays and daycare!
I can't recommend Always Available Pet Sitting highly enough as a dog sitting service! Rose is incredibly conscientious, timely, and organized, which makes leaving my dog in her care completely stress-free. Her kindness and professionalism shine through in everything she does, and it's clear she genuinely cares about my dog as if he were her own. Rose is a fantastic communicator—she always keeps me updated, which brings me such peace of mind when I'm away. I can travel confidently knowing my dog is in responsible and loving hands. Thank you, Rose, for being such an exceptional caregiver
My cat, Jewel, is very shy and hides from strangers. However, when Rose gently called out to her, rather than run and hide, she remained inquisitive and let Rose pet her. It was then, I knew Jewel would be fine while I was gone. Rose sent me daily updates with pictures. Jewel was well cared for, and I will be using Rose for all my best sitting needs! Thank you Rose for your invaluable service and professionalism.
Rose’s pet care service was most excellent! On very short notice, she responded to my request, had every detail covered for the care of my kitty and had such a professional demeanor, I felt confident in her service. She sent me texts and pictures each day and I can’t say enough about the trust she instilled ! Thanks Rose🌹 …
Rose has been our go-to pet sitter for three years now. We have two large male house cats. Rose provides peace of mind while we are gone, in part because she posts us by text early each morning with a short report on that morning's visit and how the cats are. She also makes written notes on each visit and leaves them for us. She is careful and conscientious and very easy to work with. We have never had a problem with her service and recommend Always Available whole- heartedly.
Rose watched my two boxers for me. It was somewhat nerve wracking having a non family member watch my girls. But Rose is very professional and thorough. During the meet and greet my dogs seemed to settle fairly well with her presence too. She texts a picture and update every day. Would definitely use her again!
I recently used always available pet sitting for a long weekend away from my pet. Rose was fantastic. She was very thorough on what services I should expect & walked me through everything. I received photos of my kitty every day that I was gone & even came home to a very cute thank you card and notes from each day she visited with kitty. Excellent service. I will absolutely be working with Rose again. Highly recommend if you need to head out of town and can't bring your fur babies along for the trip.
Rose was amazing and easy to work with. We never tried pet sitting before so I would text her frequently but she was always so friendly and reassuring . She would send photos and updates. She was also very thorough during the planning process and we would definitely use her again. We are so excited to have found her. Thank you Rose!
Rose was amazing with our animals! She took care of everything and kept us informed our whole trip. Can't recommend highly enough, we will definitely be using her again!
I recently had Rose watch my eight dogs (two large dogs and six small dogs) and my two cats. I was gone overnight and my pets are not used to this. However I am pleased to say that my pets have taken kindly to Rose and they were well taken care of when I was gone. Rose sent text pictures with each of her visits. Unfortunately she had to clean up after one of my dogs but the place was immaculate when I got home. I highly recommend rose for pet sitting and I plan on using her in the future.
We highly recommend Rose, Always Available Pet Sitting. Right from the beginning Rose was organized and business-like, taking note of the names of each pet, the amount of food, times of day to be fed, locations for food, treats, etc. Rose cared for our 4 dogs and cat for 9 days while we went on vacation. She did not hesitate to come an extra day when our flight was canceled last minute. Rose did a lot more than just feed our fur babies. She spent time playing with them as well as watching their behavior to make sure they got along and played together safely. (We have 3 large dogs and a small beagle.) She even called us to make sure we were comfortable with what she saw. She left notes from each day and also texted us notes and photos. It’s clear Rose loves animals and has experience with animal behavior. We felt so much more at ease on our vacation knowing Rose was watching our pets. We will be using Rose’s services again.
We have been using Debbie for over two years now when we go out of town and she is always incredible. The updates and photos she sends everyday keep us from worrying about our 3 cats and since Debbie is always so nice, the cats have grown used to her and don’t have to hide.
Can't say enough great things about Debbie! We have 2 dogs that she has boarded for us for >5 years now. They absolutely LOVE staying with Debbie and getting to hang out in her backyard and play with the other dogs. She treats them like family members. One of our dogs has 3 medications and Debbie has never had any issues making sure she gets her meds. We have referred a few people to Debbie and all have raved about her services. Our family literally plans our trips around whether Debbie is available to watch the dogs (and she usually is). We enjoy being out of town so much more knowing that the dogs are so well taken care of!
Finding Debbie has made my life so much simpler/better! I have last-minute business trips and having her available to take care of my very sensitive/anxious pup, has been amazing. She sends pictures & updates while I'm gone so that I don't have to worry! And...since she only takes smaller dogs, Daisy is getting socialized in a way that she doesn't while at home. Her yard is also beautiful for the dogs to enjoy...bonus!
I am so grateful that we found King‘s pet sitting . We’ve been taking Bogey there for three years and he loves it. We can go away feeling very comfortable that he is in a home environment where he’s cared for and loved. He gets excited as soon as we turn down Debbie’s street. Debbie keeps in touch with us, sending pictures regularly so we can travel knowing he’s as well cared for with Debbie and her family, as he is at home. She’s flexible and reliable. We can’t imagine leaving Bogey with anyone else. Leslie
King's Pet Sitting provides 5 star plus service ! Debbie has consistently provided dependable and caring pet sitting for our dog. She always texts us a picture and short note when she visits. We are grateful to have her for our pet sitting needs.
Debbie came into our lives when I was renovating a home in EDH and moving from Los Gatos. I had to board my little golden doodle with her for 8 months during that time. My dog cooper loves to go to Debbie's home. He has a favorite friend named Trevor that he loves and I like to make sure Trevor is there when taking Cooper to Debbie's. I would highly recommend Debbie. She is caring, kind and always available. Most importantly I know that Cooper is safe and happy when he is there. Thank you Debbie for being you! Melanie
We have used King’s Petsitting for a few years now for both petsitting as well as boarding. Debbie is very professional, reliable, and compassionate. She communicates regularly, providing updates on how our animals are doing while we are away. I would highly recommend King’s Petsitting.
I can't say enough great things about King’s Pet Sitting Services! I have been using Kings for years, and I never worry when I have to leave my fur babies in their care. They are always reliable and send pictures from each visit with a text message written by one of my pets. I hate to leave my babies, but I always know they are in good hands. Thanks, King’s Pet Sitting, for always being there when we need you!
We had our dog over once during the day and one time over night to practice for a longer vacation stay. She was very friendly and had only a few small dogs over. The second time we wanted to pick up our dog a little earlier than planned but she wasn’t at home and asked us to come back 4 hours later. All the dogs ran to the front window as we waited there and nobody opened the door, which meant they were at home alone for most of the day at least. This broke our trust. Anything could have happened while the dogs all agitated around. She also forgot to return our treats that we gave her for our dog specifically, when I asked to pick them up the next day she didn’t know which one were ours. We will not book her again.
I feel very comfortable anytime we leave our pets entrusted with Debbie. Always punctual, spends time with our pets and appreciate the text/photos of our animals following each visit. Fantastic!
LBBI is amazing! Their staff are amazing! My husband and I were so blessed to bring a unique pet, our pet rat, Sumo 🐁, to LBBI for daycare during several hot summer days in August and September. The staff were very accepting of Sumo and were genuinely happy when he was dropped off in the morning. Sumo actually became a little less shy due to his time at LBBI, where I know he was taken care of and paid attention to. Other wonderful things about LBBI: the drop-off and pick-up times. I also very much appreciated the email reminders. I can’t recommend this business highly enough! I would give more than 5 ⭐️ if I could!!!
We love Loomis Bed and Biscuit. I appreciate that they require a meet & greet, evaluation, and (complimentary) half day before accepting your dog to the LBB family. My dog Turkey can a bit nervous and sometimes needs a slower introduction to warm up to high energy dogs or strangers. But LBB not only separates dogs based on size, but also energy level. Although my dog was nervous entering the facility his first time, he instantly loved all the staff. And now he happily enters the building and is a happy pup when I pick him up. I also genuinely appreciate that they accept dogs based on their behavior, and not just their breed 💙
My dog always comes home happily exhausted from playing all day at daycare. I've only used their boarding option once, and it was so wonderful to have my mind at ease. They sent me photos and told me how my dog was doing. Every time I drop him off, the staff is so sweet, and my dog is so excited to be there! We love the biscuit so much that we make sure it's part of our household budget.
I’ve been taking Addie (my Australian Shepherd) to Bed and Biscuit for several months. Jason, Logan and the other team members at B&B are absolutely the best. They provide dog daycare services and Addie is so happy playing there 3/4 days a week. I trust them 100% with Addie.
My Golden Retreiver LOVES coming to Loomis Bed & Biscuit! He gets to play with dogs his size all day while I'm at work. This facility is set up well! Big dogs with big dogs and small dogs with small dogs. They have a great outdoor area for them to run and play and inside is a big open area where he plays as well! I Like the fact that they screen every animal before they are accepted, so my sweet Golden Retreiver doesn't have to deal with aggressive dogs! The staff greets me with a smile everytime I come in. I occationally have him boarded overnight and its really comforting to know someone is there overnight with him. He doesn't have to be in a kennel overnight until someone gets there in the morning like alot of other boarding facilities do. I can't say enough good things about this place or the staff! My dog comes home "happy tired" and can't wait to go back the next day! From one picky dog owner to the next I highly recommend this place!
Perfect place to bring your dog for daycare. Inside airconditioned on couches and playing with other dogs. We use all the time!
Amazing business. Very kind and friendly staff. Our dog is sooo excited every week to go to doggy day care and see his friends. Couldn’t ask for a better place for our dog to go to.
Aunt Cynthia's was a godsend when I needed them most. I had looked at various kennels for my two large dogs (50 and 75 lbs), but did not like the idea of them being kept in a small room or worse, a cage, for my 2-week vacation. Instead, I had a relative come stay at my house. That didn't turn out well when the AC broke in 109F heat and the relative was called into work for the entire 2 weeks. My pups had to sit in blistering heat in their kennels for 9 hours a day until the AC was fixed - which took nearly a week (but that's another review). To top it all off, we had a medical emergency while on vacation and no one could pet-sit for the extra 3 weeks we spent in the hospital. Enter Aunt Cynthia's. I called and let Aunt Cynthia's know my situation and that I was flying home for 1 day, then turning around and flying back to be at the hospital. They were able to get me an evaluation appointment during my availability window and we were set. I was unsure how long I would be gone, so I paid for 2 weeks. It turned out to be 3 - and the staff at Aunt Cynthia's was understanding and made sure I knew how the dogs were doing. When I picked up my dogs, they were excited to see me, but they really just wanted to go back and play with their new "friends". For them, it was like having the comfort of home combined with the fun of a dog park. The staff is friendly, professional, and attentive. I feel comfortable leaving my fur children in the care of Aunt Cynthia and her team.
My girl Willow has been going here since a puppy. It’s the only place she likes almost as being home. LBBI you’re the best!!
No crating. They have rooms for the dogs to play in bSe on there size and energy. Someone is there 24hrs a day. I feel my dogs are well taken care of at bed and biscuit. They have grooming too!
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!
Our family hired Amanda to watch our two dachshunds and two rabbits. She is kind, completely understands animal behaviors, and is very punctual. She scheduled a “meet and greet” for our furbabies and set up convenient sitting times. Amanda is trustworthy, professional and friendly to our children and pets. She provided us with a detailed contract that outlined everything for the sitting. We will definitely be hiring her again!
Amanda is amazing, I'm so thankful I found her! I have 3 dog.....the Border Collie can be a little anxious around new people but within a few minutes they were great friends. And my 2 little Chihuahua's love her too! She' very dependable and trustworthy and that is important to me.
We just got back from a trip and even though it was a short trip Amanda was amazing. She communicated each day. My house was left clean and my animals were happy and well taken care of. We have a senior horse who gets special feed and she did everything perfect. I am beyond impressed and recommend The Cointry Sitter 100%
