Paul was a great house sitter! We especially appreciated the care he put into taking care of our oyster mushrooms while we were out of town. He was very communicative about anything that came up, he left the house in great shape, and he even left us a homemade tea cake, which we loved; such a sweet gesture. Paul is kind and thoughtful and you can tell he cares about your pet and your home and takes any responsibilities seriously. We hope he will house and pet sit for us again!
Kelsey & Stephanie cared for our beloved dogs very well. Our dogs still went to their bedroom to sleep after we came home. They also treated our house with respect and we appreciated it. They’re both decent & reliable.
Evan, Maria and Truman (their pooch) were excellent house/pet sitters! They not only took excellent care of our Rhodesian Ridgeback (Chester), but clearly gave him loads of affection. Our home was very clean and our plants were happy! They were very flexible and understanding with our repeated flight delays and cancellations and we knew Chester was in great hands, which relieved our travel worries, We would not hesitate to work with them again and in fact, look forward to doing so. Chester has made some new friends!
I was fortunate enough to enjoy a week caring for Louis and Hugo in Jennifer's cosy Edinburgh flat. The cats are such fun and great characters - Louis is older and a little more sedate while Hugo has lots of youthful charm. They were very good and easy to bond with, providing plenty of cuddles, lap time and even a cosy companion on the bed if wanted! They eat well and came in each night when called. Jennifer's flat is very well located if you're keen to explore Edinburgh and surrounding areas. There are a number of bus routes that are about a minute's walk from the flat and that take you into the city centre (both Old and New Towns), and out to the likes of Leith, also a good array of supermarkets and other services within easy walking distance. The flat itself is warm and quiet, with a comfortable spacious room for cat-sitters. Jennifer was very pleasant to communicate with, and provided excellent guidance both about the cats and getting around and about in Edinburgh. Although we didn't meet in person, we chatted on the phone prior to my arrival, when she answered all my questions. I highly recommend sitting for Jennifer.

amazing place, i boarded my dog for the first time for the weekend that & she was so happy. they sent me pictures & videos & kept me updated the whole weekend. definitely made leaving her for the first time so much easier
We went to the US Open this week and had the delightful opportunity to take our two Cavalier’s (18 weeks old) to WaggsN’Naggs. The boys had so much fun. I highly recommend this business the staff and owners are incredible, friendly and very good with pets. Thank you so much for giving us peace of mind while enjoying the golf tournament.
Jan is awesome!! I've been taking my pets to her for years. She's so awesome with the animals and you can tell that she really loves taking care of them. Very clean environment and the grounds are beautiful!!!
We take our little dachshund there. It is very clean and is run very professionally. There are separate areas for little dogs and big dogs. Highly recommend. !!!
Nice and open. My Golden loves it there. Always comes back tired from all the playing.
Great place! Our dog loves going there.
Great people and our dog loved it.

I definitely recommend it...my dog was well taken care of, he had a lot of fun, he felt loved and loved by the people who took care of him. I loved that place for my puppy. Since I saw it, I knew it would be an excellent place for him to feel at home. home..from now on every time you go on vacation this place will be your second home 🥰
I was at an Airbnb over the weekend and needed someone to watch my dog for a day. I asked the owner and they recommended me to Kayley- who conveniently provided dogsitting services on the same property. Kayley was very accommodating and took in Mika from 7:30am-6:00pm for an agreed price of $30. Contact Furry Friends Farm for the pricing since it may vary depending on how long your companion stays, along with other factors. I was worried since it was my dog's first time being watched by someone else for a whole day, but Kayley reassured me with her kind, informative, and positive attitude that my pup was going to be in good hands. When I came to pick up my dog, (Mika) she was happy, clean, and content with her time at Furry Friends Farm. Kayley informed me that she took Mika out at least once an hour to relieve and enjoy herself in the backyard- an open 3 acre farm with plenty of room to explore and five chickens to meet. Since she's a senior dog, Mika spent most of her time indoors while making a new friend with another dog Kayley was watching that day. I think the best part was that I knew exactly who was watching Mika and that she was being watched over in someone's home instead of a boarding facility, which likely helped Mika's separation anxiety. Kayley even texted me during the day to update on how Mika was doing! In the future, I would definitely come back to Kayley if I needed someone to watch Mika for me again.
A number of my furry friends have been accommodated at this marvelous facility, until their owners decided to reclaim them.
I cannot explain how much amazing this daycare is! From great communication to hilarious conversations. They sent videos of my pup and it was just a overall great experience. I was on a work traveling long-term for two months coming from Florida and they worked great with my schedule and super affordable. I was very nervous because my little Doxie is still a puppy and have not been to a daycare or interaction with other dogs in a new setting. Desjardins immediately welcomed her with love and she was in love with them and had so much. She made her first friends at this Daycare and I love the daycare so much they are overall great kind people. If you are looking for a daycare... I AM TELLING YOU, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO REGRET IT! It was worth driving 40 minutes to drop her off at daycare because of how great they are.
We just brought out ten year old terrier mix, Chewy, for a week of boarding with Sara and Kevin. We’ve needed to have him boarded before when we’ve gone out of town and have taken him to other places, but this was top notch. We received videos of Chewy on his vacation, and they contacted us with concerns of his allergies bothering him and came up with a plan to help him get some relief from his allergies and treated him with love and care. We can’t say enough good things about the peace of mind and care they provided to me and my husband and our dog Chewy. We picked him up today and he’s been snoozing ever since, likely because he was so busy and caught up in the excitement with having so many new dog and human friends ❤️
Wow! We are local but were going out of town, and used Desjardines for boarding for our two poodle mixes in their first boarding experience. From tip to tail, everything was perfect. Kevin and Sara were happy to answer all of our (many) questions, and gave us a tour ahead of time. Drop off was easy, and our dogs happily trotted off with Kevin. While we were gone we got videos of our pups being loved on and playing. Before we picked them up, they got a complimentary bath. Pick up was similarly a breeze. They are currently passed out, exhausted and happy after definitely having one of the best weeks of their lives. Not to mention, Kevin was so generous in helping us create a bathing routine for our doodles, whose matting is always an issue. Thank you! We will be back!
Desjardins Dog Day care is the best thing to happen to my dog! I am so happy to have found them. They take such good care of us. They keep track of our pup's vaccine records for us. They offer boarding and training. They offer pick up and delivery. They offer to rinse her off before sending her home. My pup is SO happy to go every week. The whole team is SUPER nice. My pup is a pittie and when we adopted her, she was inexperienced being in a house. She was scared. She chewed everything. She pottied in the house. I couldn't take her out on enough walks to get her energy settled. Then, within a couple weeks of going to dog day care at Desjardins, a switch flipped in our pup. She settled down at home and became the ultimate snuggly couch potato in the house. These folks are life savers. I can't say enough about how wonderful they are with our dog.
Simply the best - My 12 year old dog got 2 play with other seniors and had his own nice private shelter and couch. Everything was very clean and very well managed.
We've boarded our blind dog Maize here twice and he loves it. We get regular videos of him having fun playing with the other dogs and wagging his tail. He gets to spend lots of time outside and has a cozy spot to sleep near his friends. We're super happy we found a place that takes good care of Maize. And the socializing and outdoor time is a huge plus for us -- he loves it, and Sara and Kevin do a lot to accommodate him and his disability. Strongly recommend.
Desjardins Dog Care took care our two Greet Pyrenees dog for a week and did an absolutely great job. Our dogs are young, 2 and 3 years old, and we had not kenneled them before, so I we were a bit nervous. Sara and Kevin sent us videos every day, and it was so obvious our dogs were having a great time, and genuinely enjoyed their hosts. I am not sure they even wanted to come home!
Wonderful concierge personalized dog boarding! Keren also schedules a meet and greet before your dog is in her care! Meeting her put me and my pup at ease! Keren and her family are awesome and your pup will enjoy their time with her!
We had the best experience with Keren and her dog care. It is in her home and our dog felt much more comfortable there then locked in a metal kennel with concrete floors. Our dog was happy, and even more well-behaved when she came home. But we knew our dog loved Keren when she heard her voice at the local dog park and went bounding towards her looking for attention. It was a great experience. We will go back.
When you need a safe loving place for your furry baby look no further! Keren the owner, is absolutely amazing! She works with all types of dogs from shy ones to very boisterous. Thank you Keren for making our dogs feel like apart of your family! We will absolutely cone back!!
Keren is a nice woman who truly cares about her clients.
Shannon was terrific with my small dog. He stayed in her care for 4 nights and days. He normally is not that playful bit he played with one of her big dogs. Shannon made sure he ate and drank enough water. He had luxury sleeping areas. Shannon is very knowledgeable and caring for dogs. She has a big secure yard for the dogs and inside is all set up for the dogs as well. My dog came home happy and not stressed.
Shannon offers the best day care in Santa Cruz County for dogs! Your dog will be safe, loved, and have so much fun. My dog actually doesn't want to come home with me when I arrive for pick up. I trust Shannon at the Velvet Coat 200% with. my doggies. She is extremely knowledgable on all dog things! You will NOT be disappointed with The Velvet Coat!
Our dog Lulu loves coming here! Shannon is a gifted dog caretaker. We appreciate her professionalism and also how much she seems to enjoy her dog clients. She is super organized and we always know what to expect from Shannon. Can't recommend highly enough!
The Velvet Coat is awesome! I've been taking my labrador there for over five years for boarding and daycare, and she's always excited to go there. They carefully screen new pets, so you can be assured that your fur baby will be surrounded by social, friendly dogs.
If you’re trying to find a day-care on your busy work days or a boarding service for upcoming trips, Velvet Coat is the place to go! But be aware, when you dial the number, Shannon has some important questions prepared for you. You might even have to drive up there for an initial consultation. You’ll have to give Shannon a through overview of your canine friend — how they are physically, emotionally and behaviourally.You’ll have to provide her with the updated vaccine records as well as information regarding the animal hospital you take your dog to, or the doctor your dog has been seeing, and what medications your dog is on. It will also be useful to share with Shannon some pictures and videos of your dog, so that she has a clearer sense of who they are and how they are. But, please, please don’t be discouraged! Shannon is doing this for the sake of your beloved canine friend and the health and safety of all the other dogs under her care. We all have very concrete sense of how infectious diseases work nowadays. I’m sure you don’t want your dog to get sick or have any potential unpleasant experience while you’re away. When in doubt, please kindly put yourself in the shoes of the others whose dogs are currently staying at Velvet Coat. As a socially responsible person who truly cares about their dog (and any cute little animals in general), you won’t have trouble answering those questions and getting all the necessary documents (e.g., vaccine certification). By now, you probably would have paid a visit to Velvet Coat. I’m sure you and your canine friend are equally impressed (perhaps by slightly different aspects). You’ll then have to get your friend’s luggage ready. Shannon will give you a clean container for the food and snack needed for the length of the stay. And she will be making a detailed list for every single thing you sent with your dog. Of course, you’re more than welcome to use your own container and make your own list. A large proportion of Shannon’s fringe and freezer is devoted to those who enjoy fresh food. So don’t hesitate to pack those in. A detailed feeding instruction will also be very helpful. If your dog is familiar with the slow-feeders or treat/food puzzles, free free to take them as well. Shannon will make sure your dog feels at home. There’re no cameras like some other dog kennels that keep dogs in crates most of the time. Rather, imagine your dog stays at this resort, where dogs of different sizes and preferences can be engaged in different activities (or simply lounging) at the same time in different places. And because everybody here have passed the “rigorous interviews”, you know it’s clean, safe and friendly. Your dog gets to join the club of their choice, and is very likely going to make great friends here. Shannon will send you some picture and videos along with informative reports of what your friend was busy with during the day. If she notices any health or behavioral issues, she’ll intervene to protect your dog as much as she can. Note that she asked for your vet’s information so if you happen to be long distance away, she can get in touch with your vet if necessary. Plus, Shannon worked as a vet tech for many years! Trust me, I was just as skeptical/confused in the beginning. It turned out, I became a much better care giver to my own dog through talking to and learning from Shannon. I will not consider a different place to send our dear canine friend. I’m grateful that we found Velvet Coat!
Shannon is the best! She helped raise and care for our dogs for over a decade. Highly recommended.
Velvet Coat is truly a treat for both you and your dog - not only is the place stunningly beautiful, it’s made with dogs in mind, so there’s plenty to occupy them and never get bored. Each dog is very, very carefully vetted to make sure they’re a good fit for the place, the other dogs, and the proprietress, Shannon. Shannon knows her stuff - highly experienced with dogs and all other manner of critter; also very friendly and down-to-earth. Winston and I will miss the Velvet Coat very much since moving away!
Friendly / very experienced/ I highly recommend for the canine member of your family, 💙🦮🐕🦺🐕🐩🐈⬛ …
Ok, first and foremost, I've used Calero (now "Golden Hour") a handful of times this year after moving the Bay Area. I drive nearly an hour to board my dog there because 1) Kristie is incredibly knowledgeable and super caring (above and beyond) and that became obvious after our first conversation but I continue to be impressed and grateful for her deep knowledge, 2) the premises are really great, the dogs get tons of beautiful outdoors space (acres!), 3) Kristie and her husband have been only outstanding to work with, 4) I know my dog loves it there... she pulls to go in, 5) my dog comes back happy and calmer than at drop off, 6) Kristie has directly helped me with some simple but key issues that I could not figure out myself as my doggie transitions into her senior years, and 7) Kristie holds a wealth of information for some random questions I've had through the months. Lastly, she follows up with me on whatever topics or themes come up. That I why I drive an hour to drop off my dog with them.
Dedicated, caring, and genuine pet-lovers, both Kristie-Miranda and her husband! My dog Toby balks at the groomers and the vet, but he cruises right into Kristie-Miranda's place without hesitation. It is so wonderful not to worry about leaving my beloved pet in their capable hands. Reasonable prices too. Highly recommended!
Looks like a great place for med or big dogs. We went to see the place, thinking they could be a solution while we're away on long trips. A farm with a line of quite large fenced cages to keep the dogs. One of the cages is used to keep the chickens. There's a meadow for running around. They're also building a dog run. Owners seem keen on caring for animals. Our dog of 15 lbs wouldn't be able to run around with the big dogs - owners fear an attack, so would keep her in the office (?) overnight, but said she could follow the owners around during the day while on chore duties. So there wouldn't be a lot of social opportunities, but this is still a far better solution than having our dog in a small cage all day! Prices are said to be half what many Bay Area boarders charge (also just casual evidence - we've never boarded our dog).
I've been going here about 2 years now and it's absolutely the best place for your dog!! My dog Snickers can't wait to jump out the car as soon as he sees Kristie! If you're looking for great care and a place where your pup can play throughout the day, this is it. Kristie and her team are the best and I know I can always count on Snickers being safe, cared for, and having the time of his life!
Kristie really loves dogs, takes care of them seriously, and has a lovely property in the hills with nice outdoor space. On top of that, her rates are really great. My dog gets *dirty* when he's there, so for long stays he'll get a bath before I pick him up. The most important thing is that when we're almost there, he's clearly excited.
Love this place. They take good care of my dogs. We use them all the time and won't go anywhere else. Best place to drop your dogs off. Very caring people, and great communicating with you about how your dogs are doing
The best place to watch your dog. Christie and Chris are so kind and caring and they took very good care of our dog.
Kristie is good with my girls, and they love her!
Amazing! We live in Sacramento and is worth the drive to make sure our dog is taken care of.
Very nice and polite owners Super helpful and good pet retreat
Natasha is wonderful with our two dogs. We've been using her for over a year now. She's dependable, responsible, and playful. Our dogs LOVE her! She takes them to the beach for long walks, and throws the ball for our one dog that fetches. She's also a joy to deal with. She's friendly and extremely upbeat and positive. I feel that whenever I have to leave town, I'm confident that our dogs are in good hands.
What a loving petsitter Natasha is. She was my petsitter when I got Gus in 2008 until she moved to California. I miss her very much. She’d send videos and pictures while Gus was in her care. Anyone who knows Natasha, knows she will give your pet the best of care. 🐶.
The best!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 recommend. We discovered Eileen when our (previous) pet sitter bailed on us at the last minute about a year ago, but in hindsight, we are so glad that happened! Eileen has pet sat for us for the last year, and she is truly the BEST. She’s reliable, consistent, observant, and SO sweet with our babies. We have 2 cats with 2 very different personalities, and she’s great with BOTH of them, giving them each what they need while we’re gone, including extra attention for our high maintenance orange boy :). I feel so blessed to have her in our lives, and I can’t overstate how nice it feels to have true *peace of mind* when we leave home. Thank you Eileen!!! 🩷🩷
Eileen makes it so easy for me to feel confident about the kind of care my pets will receive while I’m away on long trips. They don’t get just basic care but love and attention. I get updates and pics so I can see how they are. It’s hard to be away from my four legged friends but Eileen makes it much easier because I know I have nothing to worry about. 😊
Eileen is a treasure and if you're sitting around reading dog walker reviews and weighing your options you should just drop it now and hire her. She's been walking my big, VERY enthusiastic amstaff, The Doobs, for a few months now and she's completely transformed his walk. This dog LOVES to walk, and can go for hours at a time. He's a dedicated puller with the muscle to back it up. When I first brought him home, I no joke had a dog walking helmet for a while, because more than once he pulled me right over. He's also very interested in people. He's a really friendly dog, but was such a handful to walk that we were really only going out reliably once a day, and he needs so much more exercise than that. Eileen has slowly mellowed out his walk to where he's a real joy to take out now. He gets so much more exercise now that it's easier to walk him, and he's a happier, healthier dog. Eileen has also been walking my 7 month old hound mix, Donny. Donny's challenges are at the opposite end of the spectrum. He's young and, like many pandemic puppies, his socialization was spotty. He's easily spooked and it can be hard to keep his focus on a walk. Here, again, Eileen's been a total game changer for him. Watching him bond with her and seeing the confidence boost he's getting from spending time with her has been totally awesome! Finally, Eileen just met for the first time with my other hound puppy, Walter. Walter's a very nervous little guy, and Eileen took the time to make an initial appt just to sit with us and let him come out of his shell with her. She's got a really quick, savvy grasp of doggo drives and body language, and it's a real pleasure interacting with her and each dog together. It's clear Eileen puts a ton of thought and effort into her relationships with her dog charges. She often brings a new trick or tool she picked up working with another dog and suggests it for one of mine, and the way she phrases her explanations always shows how appreciative she is of each dog's individual personality and needs. Bonus: Eileen's got a real gift for pet photography, and she sends beautiful pics and the occasional video while she's out walking my pups. I love reviewing those photos at the end of the work day and checking out the awesome adventures my doggos had. The attached photos are all shots Eileen sent me. Wrangling three doggos, two of whom are puppies, while working full time is a lot. Eileen provides all the extra love, exercise, and play these pups need to keep our household running smoothly enough to keep dogpocalypses from crashing my zoom meetings. I can't recommend her highly enough!
Our first experience with Sit Walk & Wag was fantastic! Eileen stayed with our Great Dane for a week and I couldn't have been happier with her service. She always made us feel comfortable while we were away. We are very impressed with the professionalism in which she runs her business and her high standards as a caretaker for our pet. We feel very fortunate to have been recommended to Eileen and highly recommend her.
Eileen at Sit Walk & Wag has been really wonderful to work with. She was extremely reliable, professional, and loves dogs. I have a high energy pup and Eileen's walks wore her out! After each walk I always looked forward to receiving pictures from their adventures!
Eileen was recommended to me by our regular pet-sitter, who was unable to complete the pet coverage we needed. I trust and love our pet-sitter, so I knew she was recommending someone great - and she certainly did! Eileen is professional, kind, fantastic with animals, and reliable. I was so impressed with her services and her willingness to take on a few extra visits when our plans slightly changed during our trip. My husband and I came home to three happy fur family members and I we were able to enjoy our trip knowing that they were in great hands (nothing is more important than that). We will definitely use Sit Walk & Wag in the future and I highly recommend Eileen!
Great dog walker! She has been walking our 75lb pit mix three times a week for over a month!! We get daily photos. A GPS map of distance and where they walked! I really like these added features as it provides assurance our family pet is getting the best! Thanks so much And we do recommend Sit Walk & Wag !! Eugene Scott Owens
It can be hard to find a pet sitter who is great with pets and with their humans. Eileen is that, and then some! She is a natural "cat person" and excellent cat sitter - we feel truly at ease whenever we go away, knowing our cat is being taken care of just as well (or honestly even better) as when we are home. Friendly, responsible, great communicator -- everything you'd want in a pet sitter!
From the minute I spoke to Eileen, I knew she was the right person to look after our very beloved but aloof cat, Dee Dee. Not only did Dee love her (I've never seen her warm up to someone so quickly) but Eileen really put her needs first. So much so, that she suggested shorter visits to accommodate her shy behaviour. Whatsmore, Eileen is great with humans too! 😁 Super responsive, communicative, and has a great sense of humour too. Would definitely recommend! 👍🏻
Eileen is wonderful! My dog loves her and she is very reliable and trustworthy. I come home to a happy exercised dog every time I elicit her services. Highly recommend and want to encourage to support. We are lucky to have people like this in our community.
