An absolute joy of a sit. Maureen and the home she has created is warm and welcoming. And then... there are the princesses Daisy Mae and Annabella. They are as precious as can be, such personalities and so adorable. Great neighborhood for dog walking and a greenway close for more walks. Looking forward to returning in a few days for another visit.
What a pleasure it was to meet Robert and family. Their dog Champ is a delight, with lots of personality. Beautiful home in a historic section of Salem, with lots to see and all walkable. They are gracious hosts with all details for our sit at our fingertips, that made us comfortable from the beginning. Mary and Peter April 2023
Gosh, Jerimiah and his kitties were delightful. He is very easy going and his home is cozy and full of light and plants. His kitties are adorable and low maintenance. I would absolutely pet sit for them again.
We experienced quite some issues with this house sit and we didn’t feel comfortable or welcome at all. Paul and Trinity treated us like a doormat, they were very demanding and insensitive. When asking them for something their reactions were harsh and unsupportive. Despite all that we took our responsibilities and tried to make the best out of this housesit. We sent nice pictures and videos regularly, but they didn’t even bother to respond to those. Paul and Trinity haven’t been honest with us. During the initial interview they only stressed the importance of grooming Gillan every other day and they wanted to know if we were okay with that. They withheld important information that was also not mentioned in the welcome guide. In hindsight we realize that they haven’t posted any pictures of the interior of the house on their listing on the website, only pictures of the terrace, the dogs, the pool and the view. Had we seen pictures of the livingroom and guestroom we probably would not have chosen to sit here. The biggest issue was the cramped bed of 1.37 wide in the guestroom and also the fact that this room is next to the dog room so we woke up with every squeak and bark the dogs made. The masterbedroom was on the other side of the house and had a wider bed so we kindly asked if we could move into that bedroom, but the answer was not favourable. They had recently installed an alarm system and used the alarm log to control how long we had been away from the house. They told us to not leave the dogs longer than max 5 hours alone, but on a couple occasions we stayed away 5,5 – 6 hours because of unforeseen circumstances (once we were lost on a hike for example). Dogs can perfectly be home alone for about 6 hours, although I agree this is not something we would do daily. And we didn’t, because we worked from home so we spent many days with the dogs at the house. The days were not hot in May/June and we always left a window open in the dog room and we walked them before we left so we were sure they had defecated before we left. We also made sure they had plenty of water. One day there was something wrong with the alarm and a technician had to come and fix it. That night Trinity sent me a message telling me that she didn’t want us to use the blanket that was laying on the couch. This felt as an invasion of our privacy and I was really upset. After that we didn’t feel really free in the house anymore because they were able to take a picture (or even a video?) at any time. I told her so and also told her that I put the blanket on that couch in case the dogs would jump on that couch and Paul had told me (and it is in the welcome guide) that they don’t want the dogs on the couch. Since I cannot watch them all the time I put that blanket there, I thought she would appreciate that but instead she told me to obey the rules of no dogs on the couch. I tried to make her understand that if you have other people in the house that sometimes things go a little bit different but that she could trust on us to take good care of everything but her answer was very rude. They also “forgot” to mention the daily scooping of the dog poo from the terrace. We both found this was a disgusting chore. The fact that the dogs pee and poo everywhere they like is very unhygienic. The bucket that Paul told us to use was so filthy. He uses the lid to scoop the poo into the bucket and waits for the whole bucket to be full (which will take several weeks) before emptying it in the field. Can you imagine how that looks and smells? Honestly, I don’t think that Trinity and Paul could have found more responsible and caring dogsitters. The “boys” were perfectly taken care of. I groomed Gillan every other day like I was instructed. We took him to the groomer in Torrox (took us half a day) and the groomer complimented me that he was so well groomed and she didn’t find a single knot. We took the dogs for short sniff walks and they absolutely loved it. Every time we put our shoes on they were so excited, it was really heartwarming. Trinity and Paul never walk Ossie, Max and Gillan, they are backyard dogs. Experts say that backyard dogs easily get bored and need sniff walks of at least 20 minutes every day because it is good for their mental health. So I think we not only made them happy dogs, we made them happier dogs. Despite all the negativity we experienced, the last weekend we went to the market in Competa and bought some nice flowers to put on the terrace, for Paul and Trinity to enjoy when they were back home. We also left them some Dutch stroopwafels with a little note that we hoped they would enjoy them. We also sent a positive email to Trinity. We spent all morning cleaning before we closed the door behind us to go home after 3 weeks. Despite all this, Trinity gave us a devastating 1 star review without ever talking to us. We are really upset about this review. Not once did they reach out to us. They never told us that they were worried about the dogs and that they thought we were not treating them well. They could have sent some friends over to judge the situation. They could have sent us away if they were really thinking we were “not in their dogs best interest” (Trinity’s words). They even could have come home sooner. They did none of that. All she claims we did do or did not do is based on assumptions and misinterpretations. Everything she says is beside the truth. We have no idea why they are so resentful but we do know we did nothing to deserve this treatment and we know that we have taken really good care of Ossie, Max and Gillan – we loved those dogs, they were very affectionate, all with their own funny personalities. You are invited to read her review about us, you will see the tone is very aggressive and disrespectful. In an honest review both the positive and the points for approvement are mentioned to come to a well balanced review. We would have given 3 stars to this housesit, but are deducting a star for the way Trinity and Paul have treated us during and after the housesit.
From start to finish, one of the most pleasant sit I've experienced. Following our Zoom chat, the hosts invited me for a meet-and-great and tour of their lovely home. There I was introduced to Luna, Chloey, and Babou - the sweetest fur kiddos ever. Luna is frisky and playful by day, by evening she's a couch potato who's out like a light by 9PM. When Luna wasn't chasing her off, Chloey - a Netflix and cuddle kind of girl - was my constant companion. She'll follow you from room-to-room then disappear for hours when she wants her space. Babou, the shy one, stayed in to himself mostly. But I think we established a slight bond by the end of the sit. If you're up for a stroll with Luna, the neighborhood is super quiet, safe, and walkable. If not, thanks to the huge backyard and doggy door, she can practically walk herself. Other pros include the guest room, separate bathroom, and exercise area in the basement. Jacqueline's warm, easy-going spirit made communication and planning throughout the sit an organic and stressless process. I can't wait to see them all again.
Lovely Cats, lovely village, kind and communicative lady!

We have been using Becky's pet sitting for 8 years for our dog, "Doug". Doug always is ready to see Becky, and her dogs, and loves it there. When we pick him up he is happy, clean, and well cared for. He has a strict diet and medication and Becky has always managed this well. We find her price of $35 a day to be a bargain for the quality of care Doug receives.
I can not recommend Becky's Pet Sitting enough. Becky saved us in a pinch when we had to relocate our pup while on vacation at the very last minute, then was kind enough to respond to our check-ins promptly and with great pictures and video. Our dog was quite happy playing in Becky's backyard with Becky's own dog, and you can't beat her prices - quite affordable for the quality of care. If you're in the area and need some short-term boarding for your small pup, I really can't recommend Becky enough.
Our two dogs received excellent care with Becky even during a major snowstorm and power outage. She is calm and kind and was well prepared with a generator. We knew our pups were doing well under her care. We will definitely use her services again!
I would highly recommend Becky for all of your dog boarding needs. I feel so lucky to have found Becky! I have a 2 year old hound dog that can be too high energy for people to deal with, I kept expecting a phone call saying it wasn’t working out, but to my surprise Becky handles Arlo very well and seems to have a great relationship with him just like I do! It was an unexpected and added benefit that Becky also works on leash training with him (very important issue). I suddenly noticed he was getting better and better on the leash and I couldn’t believe it. My dog is always happy and tired when he comes home from Becky’s and he is ALWAYS excited to go back! I think he now thinks of Becky as a second mom and he loves her so much, you can tell by how excited he is to go to her house! I couldn’t imagine a better situation for us! There are a lot of options nowadays when it comes to dog boarding but Becky’s Dog Boarding is #1 in our family and I would encourage you to try it too! Becky is wonderful and I am so glad to have her in our lives!
Becky has been a lifesaver. We tried other local boarding options with less than desirable results. Our dog is always happy to see Becky and comes home well loved, clean and happy. We have been taking our dog to Becky for over two years, several times per year and she has always been available to take him even if short notice. We love Becky and would highly reccomend!
I’ve been taking my Australian Shepherd, Mattie, to Becky’s for 12 of her 14 years. The first two years I took Mattie to 2 other boarding facilities and was always apprehensive about her condition when I dropped her off, she was stressed out and reluctant to enter the facilities. When I would pick her up she was frequently was overly excited, lost weight and could take a couple of days to recover. I never had these problems with Becky. Mattie would always gladly trot beside her when I dropped her off and she would run to me when I picked her up looking happy and healthy. I would highly recommend Becky’s Pet Boarding. Another review mentioned Becky had been rude to the reviewer. Becky has always been very professional with me and great with my dog.
Magnolia, our 16 month old girl, was greatly taken care of!!! It was the first time for her(and us) and we were all a bit nervous….but Becky took absolutely excellent care of our girl!!! Definitely recommend and definitely will use Becky in the future!!! Awesome.
I had to go away for a few days and couldn't take and my old beagle with me. Becky responded to my email query very quickly, her rates are great, and she takes excellent care of the pets. She has an enclosed yard for them, and takes care to make sure they are properly vaccinated before accepting them into her care. Can't recommend her any higher!
Great thanks to Google for being able to find the best doggie day care imaginable. From day one, Becky's Pet Sitting has given me the piece of mind to drop the dogs off knowing they were in loving, caring hands. Becky has been caring for my dogs six days a week for over a month. When we turn off Brunswick onto her street the dogs start wagging their tails in anticipation! My highest recommendation!!!
Becky took care of our cat Buster for many years. The only person he didn’t run from when the door opened. And one of the few people I trusted with a key to my house. Becky is great with animals.
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 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!
Sophia has been excellent with our pets and helping us when needed with our 4 animals …I highly recommended her services and have 100% trust when she helps us.
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 :)
Hazel is absolutely the best. She sends consistent updates and photos while watching my pups, which gives me so much peace of mind. She handled my pack of 4 like a true professional. They have a pretty extensive list of suppliments and medications with each meal. Hazel checked off each one every day during her visits so I could be assured they all received everything they needed. I know she goes above and beyond to make sure my pups are not only taken care of but happy, loved and fufilled while I am away. She has been taking care of my pets for over a decade and I simply will not trust my pets with anyone else.
Hazel is one of the best pet sitters we have ever had. She is professional and goes above and beyond. She makes it possible for me to go on vacation and actually relax and not worry about the pets. She gives daily updates and photos. We always come home to a nice, clean home with happy pets.
Very professional. On time. House looks great, and our border collie, Bear, couldn't be happier.
My dog likes staying here. I feel they are kind to animals. The issue I have and the reason we won't be coming back is that I travel frequently for work and my dates often change. They require a night deposit and you do not get that back should your travel plans change. I have offered a week in advance notice to cancel booking, but they insist on keeping my money. I have lost $200 or so and I'm just not willing to lose more money. We will be staying at All About Dogs in Penn Valley as they don't require a deposit.
My dogs have always been family members, so I've relied on trusted friends or relatives to care for them when I travel without them. Unusual circumstances led to putting our dog in a kennel for the first time. All indications are that Empire Kennels took excellent care of our beloved pooch.
Wonderful kennel...wonderful people. They have taken excellent care of my dogs and cats for 23 years now. I can't imagine leaving my dog any place else.
This was our pup's first time at a kennel but he LOVED it! Such nice staff who left me feeling very comfortable leaving our little guy there; he got a good mix of activity and looked almost disappointed when we picked him up. I'd definitely recommend Empire for your go-to dog/cat kennel.
Employees are super friendly. They Listened to my needs of my pets. Very informative. Kennels were clean and every animal seemed happy and well cared for. Day care was a great experience and cost friendly. They have over night care as well.
I have been using Empire Kennels for several years and they have been great! It is the only kennel that my dog has been happy to go to. Very friendly, great with the dogs, and reasonable rates. I highly recommend them. The other review appears to be a personal issue and bears no reflection on the business.
Clean facility, professional and very helpful staff. I love getting the video updates of my pup while I’m away! Only place in town I trust for overnight care aside from family. The grooming is great too :)
I have been a kennel tech my entire working life, after touring every kennel in the local vicinity this was the one and only that I feel comfortable with. Sure enough we had an amazing experience here, I highly recommend it for cats and dogs, wonderful staff, wonderful service, Happy pets!!!!!!!
The best kennel in grass valley.
These folks do an excellent job taking care of our animals we leave them here every time we head out of town
