Deirdre and Reddall are such a warm and generous couple who made our stay in Orange a wonderful experience. They gave us the full “local knowledge” guide to the region and made us feel very welcome in their rural property. Their West Highland Terrier Fergus is the perfect pet, a fun companion. The alpacas are no trouble at all. Anyone curious about a Tree Change would love this house sit because Orange has it all and the Leslie property is rural heaven. Kyle and Donna.
If you enjoy being in contact with nature and its calm, and sharing time with rural animals (although, obviously, domesticated), this is a great option for you. Our 5 days in Les Comes were very nice. Life there is very quite and relaxed, and the available spaces are very comfortable. Xavier and Arola have done a great job so these old farmhouses are a comfortable and beautiful refuge for whoever is there. Both they and their children were nice to us. We enjoyed the dinner and the talk we shared, as well as the games with the children.They are a lovely family. About the animals, it is good to know that both the horses and the chickens are very good and tame, and that even though we are not experts in their care, we were able to do all the tasks without problems (feeding them, verifying that they are well and providing and checking that they have enough water). The two horses are those that require more dedication because it is necessary to feed them three times a day, but with availability of schedules, everything is fine. Before going there it is good to keep in mind that you will not have Wifi, and that Vodafone (our mobile phone company) for example, has practically no signal in the area, so if you need to work on your stay in the house, it's good make sure you have a stable service. If you are not in a work rush, this is a lovely plan to be offgrid and connected with the purest nature.
We really enjoyed taking care of Max, Macey and Dempsey. You can easily tell Jamie's family love their pets. They were on waiting list to adopt Max, the greyhound. They even bought a small set of steps for their elderly cat to get on their bed. Max is affectionate and will gladly take the love you give. He's well behaved on his leash when you walk him. Max is probably happy with a 10 minute walk, but we usually walked 15 to 25 minutes. Macey is a very old kitty, who still was pretty social with us. She got off the bed and came all the way downstairs to hang out with us several times a day. Although she may have liked the treats we brought her more than she liked us? ;) Their lizard, Dempsey, is very easy to take care of, and you can take him out of his terrarium if you want. Jamie was fairly quick to communicate during our stay. We managed to have a video chat with Jamie and her family for a few minutes, so they could say hi to Max and Macey. They were generous and offered whatever was in the fridge and pantry and they have a nice kitchen too! But we preferred to mostly eat out, as it was a little vacation getaway for us. They have a lovely, large home with a large yard and patio deck in a nice and quiet suburban neighborhood, so having a car is almost a must for their housesit. There are a some good places in Mukilteo to eat/drink that are not far away from their house. We recommend Brooklyn Bros. Pizza for delicious, authentic N.Y. style pie. We also Cabernets & IPA's restaurant and wine shop. The Boeing factory, and The Future of Flight is nearby and some may find it interesting to do a tour. Helen and I had a nice time, and hopefully we can see Max, Macey and Dempsey again.
It was delightful to sit for these fellows. Both are very different, both loving in their own way. I found them amusing, entertaining characters. A joy to be with.
Camilla and Tom are lovely warm people, very relaxed and welcoming and invited me to share a home cooked meal before they left for their holiday which was so kind. Extremely helpful notes were provided before the sit and communication was fantastic throughout - Camilla always responded quickly and reassuringly to any questions I had. Inca and Saba are very affectionate dogs who love to be around people. It was delightful to get to know them and their different personalities. Saba loves to play and has lots of energy - her tail never stops wagging! She is super intelligent and I loved when she would cock her head to one side and listen intently as I spoke to her. Inca is a lot quieter and will gently come up and nudge you for a cuddle. They are both friendly, loving and have been comprehensively trained to know a host of commands. The house and gardens have lots of space and a self contained wooded area which is perfect for the dogs and enabled me to let them off their leads without worry. I also enjoyed Tom's vegetable patch with an abundance of autumn produce! Thank you so much Camilla, Tom, Inca and Saba for a lovely stay - I hope to see you all again x
A stunning property with a wonderful sprawling garden and a clever, cheeky little Persian cat for company. Manny has so much character and is a joy to be around. Be it snuggles in bed or playing hide and seek on the staircase, he is constant entertainment and rarely leaves your side. You couldn't find more accommodating hosts too - Dan and Chloe are lovely people who ensured I had everything I need and offered to help however they could, even picking me up from the station. I'd come back and sit for this wonderful family of three anytime!

We did grooming with Candice and everything was perfect 😻😻 my dog is usually super scared but here she was very very happy and comfortable I can tell that they treated her really good and her haircut also looks great and she smells amazing and so soft !! Will be returning for sure 🥰❤️ they even put a cute flower collar on her ❤️ …
We love bringing laddie to this doggie daycare. And he loves it too! We've been at least 40 times and all is well! Thank u staff for caring about our pup!
Sadly, this will not be a positive review. I would like to begin by pointing out that I’ve trusted Simi valley pet resort with my two , ( now 3) Dobermans for the past three years. During that time, they took great care of my dogs and were friendly, respectful and professional with me as the owner. Unfortunately, about 1 yr ago, a canine flu broke out, which one of my dogs contracted, and due to this, I was unable to bring my dogs there for 6-9 months. When I returned, I had a third dog. I was told that she would have to be evaluated and that due to the fact that my other two dogs had not been there in some time, they would need to be reevaluated. I found it reasonable to require an evaluation for my new pup, but a bit odd that the others, who’d been long time frequenters of the day care to have to be reassessed. Nevertheless, I agreed and the evaluation went well. I proceeded to book the three of them for 3 days and two nights which should have totaled 375.00. When I went to collect my pets, I was shocked to learn that we were being charged 463.00. The young woman I dealt with explained to me after some mass confusion, that we were being charged an extra 45 per day per day for “ holiday cost”. We pointed out that the holiday had been Thursday and that our dogs were there for Friday and Saturday. At this point, the confused ( and extremely rude) young woman put Steve the owner on the phone. He reaffirmed that we were being charged an additional 45 per day for holiday fees. This made no sense as these two and 1/2 days did not fall on the holiday. He was unfriendly and neglected to successfully explain why we had been charged extra on days other than the holiday. I was equally perturbed that I had not been advised in advance that there was an additional ( exorbitant) fee. Reluctantly, I agreed to pay their cost-what else could I have done? I decided that I would pay 200 in cash and put the rest on my card. One of the 100 bills that I paid with had a MINUSCULE tear in it and the employee demanded that I give her another bill. I refused and her attitude went from bad to worse. When I attempted to pay the balance using my card, I was informed that they had billed my card that had previously been on file. That was not the card that I’d wanted to use and was basically informed that it was the one that they had used and that there would be no changes. If I’d have been informed that the price was going to be so high, I’d have made other arrangements. It is my contention that Steve, the owner, had an obligation to inform me of the price deviation so that I could have made an informed choice. Furthermore, the employee was outrageously rude, particularly with her attempted refusal to accept a bill that was barely damaged. I will not be returning to this establishment and would not recommend them to others
Literally everyone here is so nice. I’m very comfortable dropping my dog off and she goes absolutely insane when we pull into the parking lot. There are treats that you can ask to give them so they can have a little bit of time to themselves. I don’t have a backyard for my dog so once every three weeks we drop her off to get her energy out and a socialize and it’s made a big difference when she is interacting with other dogs on our walks or at the park. I’ve never boarded for the weekend here but I would feel comfortable doing so highly recommended. They also send pictures to your phone showing you how you’re furry animal doing.
Grooming by Candace She is great with our Maltipoo puppy. She is very calm & patient.
I was only going to be in town for the day and they were able to accommodate my dogs needs and grooming! While I was waiting for his intake (to make sure he played nicely), it was great to see all the dogs so excited to go into the play area. This made me feel comfortable leaving my dog for the day. I would use them again if I am ever in this area! Thanks for being so accommodating! Stay was 2/12/2022.
Absolutely LOVE how exhausted my pup is when we pick her up after a full day at SVPR!! The staff are friendly and Steve is great and super nice too. The nap time peanut butter kong is truly a treat for the pup. When we pull into the drive, she knows where we are and starts scrambling to get out and see all her furry friends! Needless to say, I highly recommend this doggy day care if you're looking for a safe place for your baby to be during your work day.
I truly cannot recommend this place enough, the staff do a great job and maintaining a safe and clean environment for the dogs to play in and you can tell they genuinely care for each dog. I have and will continue to recommend Simi Valley Pet Resort to all friends and family!
After calling for a person who works there to make sure they are okay from a mental health crisis they put me on hold and say that they are going to call the police. I just asked if they got there okay and if they were working today. I said nothing else besides this. Very unfriendly and rude.
Love this place great for letting your dogs play and they have the best dog groomer!!!!!
My pug Louie had a very happy boarding stay at Davis Happy Paws. Danielle took great care of him and keeps a happy and well behaved pack of companions that are combined day care and boarders. Not too many, but good companions to keep Louie occupied. He got his exercise and plenty of loving attention. I would highly recommend!
I’ve been taking my Australian shepherd puppy Archer to Davis Happy Paws daycare for socialization purposes. Danielle & Maverick have helped my very anxious, covid dog blossom out of his shell and be less scared of people and other dogs. Also to burn SOOOO much energy we actually get a tired puppy at the end of the day. Danielle always sends tons of photos of the dogs playing and sends updates throughout the day. I’m so happy to have found a great local doggy daycare/boarding here in Simi Valley. Archer and I would highly recommend Davis Happy Paws to anyone searching for doggy daycare and beyond!
We were SO fortunate to find Danielle when looking for a sitter for our pup, Banks! She is so kind, communicative, caring, and basically everything you could want in the person caring for your fur baby! I was very nervous at the idea of leaving our pup with somebody else but Danielle eased all my concerns and created an environment our pup loves and looks forward to! Danielle is super easy to coordinate with, has great availability, and is super responsive with any questions we may have. Her and her dog Maverick have taken in Banks as part of their family on long days, overnight stays, and multi-night stays. Maverick and Banks hit it off immediately and have the best time together. And Banks fell in love with Danielle and was so comfortable with her and in her home off the bat. When dropping Banks off, he is so excited and happy to be there which really eases my mind. She has created a comfortable and caring environment that feels like a second home for our pup. She takes him on long walks and cares for him the way we would. Danielle sends great photos and updates for the duration of his stay which is so awesome! We couldn't recommend Danielle enough - don't know what we would do without her!
Buddy loves Happy Paws 🐾 Danielle is amazing dog sitter. She takes the best care and sends the cutest pics throughout the day. 10 out of 10 highly recommend!!! …
Danielle is wonderful and we will definitely be using her again to watch our dog! She gave us regular updates with pictures so we could see what a good time our dog was having while we were away. Our dog got out on walks and had lots of playtime. She took exceptional care of him and we couldn’t be happier! (These are a few of the pictures she sent us and you can just tell how happy he was while in her care)
Danielle watched our 3 dogs while away on vacation, for about 4 days. She was very sweet, did exactly what we needed her to do and she sent daily pictures of our sweet pups. Her communication was great and we will definitely be welcoming her back again when needed. Thank you Danielle!!
Danielle is a great sitter! This was my dogs first time staying at someone’s house he didn’t know and for five days. Danielle took such good care of him! She took him on walks and made him part of the family. And it was really nice getting check ins with pictures every day seeing that he was happy and doing just fine! Danielle was also very accommodating with picking him up and dropping him off from my house! Which was extremely helpful with my schedule! Thank you Danielle!! I was looking for a new second home while away from home for my pup and we definitely found it!
Danielle gives extraordinary care of our pup. They get frequent walks and we get many smiling picture update of happy dogs. I highly recommend her!!
Danielle is great with our dog Teddy. He has anxiety and is very comfortable with her. We have sent him for daycare as well as boarding for the weekend. He always comes home happy.
I am so beyond grateful to have come across Davis Happy Paws for my dog Snickers. The owner Danielle is so passionate about taking great care of him from the daily walks, playtime and lots of snuggles!
I almost don't want to write a review so we can keep Stephanie all to ourselves! Working with her has been a dream. My husband and I both travel quite a bit (and irregularly) for work, and it has been amazing to know our two large pups are happy, healthy, and having a blast with her while we are gone. One of our two pups has a really restricted diet and needs medication - she handles that with ease. Stephanie has become a member our extended family and we are so thankful!
Stephanie has been a gd send for our family post-partum..she’s been walking our wild and wacky Dalmation every weekday since our son was about a month old, and Kody (doggo) loves her so much! She’s dependable and reliable, as others have said, but she’s also amazing with communication and so good natured. She’s able to handle the quirky energy spurts of our dog with ease, has a wealth of love and experience for animals that shines through, and if you’re nice, you may get blessed with her amazing vegan bakes! As a first-time mom of a now-4 month old, I cannot recommend Stephanie’s services enough. She has made this transition to motherhood so much smoother, and I occasionally join her and Kody for their afternoon walk, which helped build my confidence with babywearing, going out with my son in the early days, and my ability to walk my dog and son together at different times of day! I enjoy her company as well as her services! If you’re looking for a dog walker or pet sitter, end your search here :)
Stephanie is the absolute best with my fur babies. Both my dogs LOVE going to her house and jump out of the car as soon as we get there. Super easy and convenient too. I can’t say enough good things!
Stephanie is the best. She takes great care of our 12 year old Basset when we are away. She keeps us posted and shares video of our dog. I would recommend her without hesitation. Your pet will be in excellent hands. Very caring, loving, safe environment.
I trust our dog with Stephanie COMPLETELY. Our elderly Basset Hound spends a lot of time her house (it’s become our dog’s second home!). Stephanie provides a safe and loving environment. She dispenses medicine as necessary and is very communicative. I can’t say enough good things about our experience.
Our dog has the best time staying with Stephanie and her family! We have used her services multiple times Now and are always pleased. Our pup comes home happy and tired from all of the playing he does!
Hands down the best place to leave your fur baby! We feel comfortable knowing that our dog is well cared for and loved while we are away. We even get pictures of him lounging on the couch and playing with the other pups 🥰 Can’t recommend Stephanie enough! …
Stephanie is terrific and amazing with my fur babies!!! Dependable and reliable!!👍👍 …
Reliable and dependable! Best care for our puppies!
Pawsome Companions are just outstanding! Our 2 rescue dogs would not trust anyone and Doug just continued to work with them. Now they wait for him to arrive! They go above and beyond the call of duty, just watching over every aspect of our home while we are gone--taking in the mail, newspapers, etc., general cleaning--all in addition to loving our fuzzy ones. They also take great care of our Desert tortoise. We are finally able to travel worry free thanks to their amazing service!
First time I've ever used a pet sitter as I usually have family home when I travel but this time we all went together. I would use them again. I was able to watch them come and go on my ring cameras. And to be fully transparent, I had a nanny cam on them just because I was apprehensive to let strangers in my home, even though they came highly recommended by my neighbors. Everything went great and it's obvious Doug really loves animals he and my dog had a really cute little play session that made me smile and not miss my pup quite so much.
We absolutely love Pawesome! More importantly our dog does! We first started using them as supplemental walks, but after a few horrible boarding experiences we used them for boarding and have never been happier. Maverick is loved and so well taken care of. They are so considerate and thoughtful. Highly recommend!
I have never had such a deeply unsettling and disappointing experience with a sitter, and I write this review with the utmost sincerity for anyone considering their services. The level of unprofessionalism was beyond unacceptable—bordering on criminal. The sitter failed to arrive at the agreed-upon times of around 10:00 AM, instead showing up at 11:45 PM to midnight, and even tried to justify this by claiming they had been there for two full days. For two whole days, our cats went without food or water. When we noticed the sitter hadn’t visited, we immediately checked our security cameras and saw no sign of them. When confronted, they claimed they had been at our home, but when we mentioned the cameras had recorded nothing, they lied, saying they were en route in an Uber. I stayed up until 3:00 AM waiting for them, and it wasn’t until 5:00 AM the following day that our cats were finally fed—after two full days without attention. When we brought in a new sitter, they video-called us to show the condition of our home, and we were horrified to discover that the litter box hadn't been cleaned and the cat bowls hadn’t even been washed. If you value your pets and their well-being, please do not trust this sitter. This experience was absolutely appalling.
This is a fantastic company! I have a 20 year-old cat who needs extra care, including meds and extra love, and I came back to a very happy cat and a very clean space! I will most definitely use this company again and I highly recommend them! Thank you Pawsome Companions 💕 …
Where to begin?! Amber and Doug are truly our pets guardian angels! They will literally show up rain or shine and go the extra mile for you and your furry friends. I used them for overnight care when I was out of town as well as daycare during the daytime for my beloved Frenchie and I swear when it came time to pick my little Kiko up, I almost couldn’t get her to come with me lol she loves their dog and they have bonded so intensely they’re best friends. You don’t have to worry about safety and they go to so many different areas and counties. I will say I’ve never seen my sweet girl happier than she is after a day of daycare getting to romp around with these two. They do quality check ins with updates if you prefer so you’re informed the whole visit about how your pet is doing. With pictures and a cool walk tracker feature! I couldn’t believe how much cheaper they were then other sitters and doggy daycares I’ve inquired about. They truly do this job because they love animals and there’s just not enough of these two in the world!!!! They also use methods that are very up to date and aligned with cruelty free methods always. I will say if you bring your business to these two you won’t regret it and your furrbabies will thank you for their new companions!
The experience of using the pet sitting service was excellent! While I was away on business, my cat, Luna, was well-cared for. I received updates and pictures from the sitter as well, which was quite comforting.
Outstanding service. They do everything and more. They cleaned the kitchen where there were ants. They soom to always be available all the time. I like the pictures and comments on their observations. Definitely reccomend the company.
They did an amazing job watching my 3 cats. Went above and beyond for what they had to do. Thank you so much Pawsome will definitely be using again
Susan was absolutely amazing in taking care of our kitten Miza. She spent there half a month when we were on a long trip overseas. She was updating us everyday with pictures and videos. She looked very joyful in her cat's paradise) Very good ratio of price and value. We were very happy with their services and definitely will make this our permanent place for Miza to stay when we are away!)
Susanne was absolutely amazing! She was very friendly and took great care of my cat. I had to increase the boarding dates last minute a few times due to my flight being moved around and she was more than willing to accommodate the extra days. She sent pictures, videos, and updates on my cat every day and was quick to respond to my texts and calls. I highly recommend her and would have her watch my cat again should the need ever arise. The room she set up for the cats has a few cat beds, a cat tower, toys, pillows, and a tv playing nature videos on it. My cat was nervous at first being in a new area away from home, but he quickly settled in and started enjoying the environment. Thanks again, Susanne!
Wonderful service, Layla didn’t do well in the past when I was away for a night. She spent five days with Paws Pet Boarding and did really well. I was provided pics and updates each day. It almost felt like she didn’t want to leave 🙂. …
Suzanne was the best sitter for my cat tuna. She provided images and videos everyday and took time to make sure tuna was comfortable and in the best care. When tuna was angry and hissing, she was patient and took time for tuna to become comfortable. In the end tuna loved her so much! Can’t wait to take her back to him when I’m traveling again. Thanks Suzanne!!!
I dropped my 16 year old fur baby for 11 days. Susanne and her daughter Jasmine took wonderful care of my high maintenance kitty and sent me pictures and videos daily.. I will definitely use them again! Thank you Susanne and Jasmine 🫶😻You gave me peace of mind. …
It is great we can leave our three cats in a home with a dedicated and passionate caregiver. Susanne provided a great space, excellent care. She kept us informed and sent pictures and videos. She was also flexible for pick up and drop off. Highly recommended!
Susanne has been an angel in taking care of my kitty. I have used her services twice and been very happy with the daily photos, videos, and overall love she has shown towards Miyuki. As all cats are, Miyuki was shy the first trip. The second trip, Miyuki is now a best friend. I will use Susanne and her services every time when needed in the future and 100% recommend.
Best boarding that we have found, our dog Mickey loves to stay there and of course play in Susan's house pool when is hot, she really cares for him, ours is a Golden Retriever and he is very active, we never felt disappointed with Susan care, she really cares for our pets.
My pup has been going there for awhile now. They always give him lots of love and attention and they have a backyard which is great for even more exercise and playtime. He is always safe, happy, and healthy there and they love him like a dear family member.
Wonderful experience for my 8 week old kitten that we rescued. Had to go oot for 11 days so used this pretty service! Recommend to anyone!
REALLY amazing service! We needed a last minute cat sitter for two weeks. Called up Pawsome, and within 5 minutes I got a call from Suzi, one of the valley cat sitters. Long story short, 2 weeks have passed, we picked up our cat, and could not possibly be happier! Suzi treated our cat like her own, he was never caged, always got to hang out in the apartment. Plus she sent tons of photos along the way. Suzi is a super warm, friendly person, there's no doubt where we're boarding our cat next time, highly recommended!!
Amazing home boarding place. Personal care and spoiled with love and attention. Text updates, cute pictures and videos.
Thanks for taking care of Kaiser 🐶. See you guys next week ⛄🎅🌲
Gina was really great! From the first moment of the process till the very end, everything went smoothly. I hate snakes, so it was not a fun experience for me to have to be anywhere near rattle snakes, but Gina made the whole process as painless as it could be for us. She's professional and makes sure the job is done right. She won't let you go if she thinks your dog hasn't learned what they should and she's very patient and kind. So far we've done our initial RAT course and the refresher RAT to generalize our little girl to snakes everywhere and we'll be doing another one again next year to keep up her training. I highly recommend Gina and her group at Ma and Paw Kennel. They're friendly and knowledgeable and have snacks and water and shade for when you're waiting. Great operation!
I have taken my dog Sophie to Ma and Pa's 3 times now for rattlesnake review courses. Every time they amaze me at how professional they are, nice to work with, loving with the animals and how this training will save my dogs life. I would recommend anyone with a dog to do this training…it is a MUST and affordable.
The folks and Ma n Paw did a great job with rattlesnake training. They were attentive to the individual dog's needs, they focused on training both the dog AND the owners, and they offered a thorough range of experiences for the dog to get acquainted with the sight, sound, and smell of the rattlesnake. We live in rattlesnake country, so I'd highly recommend their training.
Interesting experience. The down sides were I had to wait a long time (over an hour in the hot sun with my dog) until my training started....they schedule a bunch of people all at the same hour, and they take you in order of arrival....so even though you have a 2PM appointment, you may have to wait until 3:00. Just be ready for that. Other than that, I think it was fairly valuable, as my dog did seem to learn the signs of rattle snakes.
I have done the Rattlesnake Avoidance Training about 3 times with Ma and Paw kennel for both of my dog'. It was amazingly effective! I could not believe how quickly they learned how to smell, hear and see the snakes. By the end of the class they were very careful to avoid them. I would highly recommend taking your dog to one of their sessions for this training. It may save your dog's life.
Our dogs participated in Rattlesnake Avoidance Training presented by Ma & Paw Kennel and it really made a difference. It is amazing how quickly they get the dogs to understand and avoid rattlesnakes. I Highly Recommend that you take advantage of this training for your dog!
Both our dogs have gone through this training to our great satisfaction. After the first round they were alerting us to holes that probably had rattlesnakes in them or had previously been there. Our JRT even alerted to a shed skin. This training is invaluable if you spend any time in the country that you share with rattlesnakes. Highly satisfied & highly recommend!
I totally understand each dog takes a different amount of time but Gina was running an hour and 15 mins behind. Our appointment was at 7:00pm and we didn’t get on the course until 8:15pm and was finished by 8:30pm… yes it was dark by the time we finished!! $185 for 15 mins?! Not worth it! Most places charge $75! AND she was so rude to her employees which made us very uncomfortable. Yell at your employees not in front of your clients that are paying top dollar!! She also wanted to put a huge shock prong and a little Frenchie for the client in front of us! Those types of collars, she even explained, are for long furred dogs so why the heck are you putting it on a little frenchie?! Both employee and client were both not comfortable with that. It was just very unprofessional which I would expect to be for paying so much…By the time it was time for my dog to go, it was freezing and the poor snakes were cold and they use a recording of the snake rattle… the only reason I give 2 stars because I do think my dog did learn to be more cautious and afraid of rattlesnakes. Also her staff was very nice and accommodating to us. Oh and I should mention where we live we have Western Diamondback Rattlesnakes not Southern Pacific Rattlesnakes. Not sure it matters but it would be nice to maybe had a mix of snakes? I do advice not advice this Rattlesnake avoidance training and do believe you should take your business elsewhere!
I have truly, in my life, never met a more unpleasant human being than Gina. She’s rude to her customers, she’s rude to her employees. She yells and berates everyone in her vicinity, never taking responsibility for her own failures and poor scheduling. She actually endangered my safety by poorly wrapping the mouth of a rattlesnake, which struck at me and it could’ve been bad. If you can find this service absolutely anywhere else, do. It’ll be cheaper and the trainer might actually treat you decently.
Our dog passed through with flying colors. In fact as part of the training we were told to walk pass the rattlesnake (muzzled) and the before we got to the snake, our dog got in front of me and lead me away from the snake. The trainer was impressed. I would absolutely bring our next dog to the class.
We had a great experience with Sit & Stay for boarding, daycare and light grooming. We were in LA for a wedding and needed last minute care for our 75 lb goldendoodle and the Sit & Stay team was able to accommodate us on short notice. The team was caring and kind and professional and our dog had a great time over the weekend! We would highly recommend them to anyone for boarding or daycare!!
My great dane is always SO happy to go to this dog boarding facility near me. Everyone is so nice here and the pet spa is amazing. You can tell they really do love your dog as much as you do 🩷 thank you!! …
We are so happy we found this wonderful facility for both boarding and daycare! The service and attention to our pup feels so personal and loving. Thank you, our friends at Sit & Stay.
This place was great and gave awesome care to my little fur baby. It was her first time boarding so it was important to me that I find somewhere that would give her not only physical care but love too! Sit & Stay more than exceeded my expectations.
I was in a stressful situation and needed a place for Bob to stay for the day and night since I couldn't take him to where we were going. Bob is an apartment cat and doesn't have a lot of experience in the outside world. Not only that, I've never really been separated from him since we started hanging out about 3.5 years ago. I guess the staff noticed all this when I contacted them to see if they had room for Bob on short notice. Not only did they have room for him, they sent me a pic of him a few hours after I dropped him off to show me he was ok. It was at that point that I realized I had nothing to worry about. Bob was in the best hands imaginable. The staff, Sara, Nicole, Mary, and six others I didn't get to meet, are amazing. Bob had a great time and was comfy. They took great care of him. Bob didn't get the chance to stay the whole time as we had to shorten our original plans and pick him up early. Once again, no hassle. I love this place. I wouldn't consider taking Bob anywhere else. Thanks guys. I'm telling all my friends!
I had to leave my senior pup while I was away here. I left worried and had major anxiety detachment issues. But everyone here at Sit and Stay put me at ease every day with an email of how he was doing and photos. He had so much fun, I dont think he wanted to leave his new friends.
They took great care of my dog and he loved his stay there! The staff is super friendly and appear to be dog-lovers. He will definitely be returning.
Excellent grooming and communication. Asked for examples of what we wanted and shared photos as then process went.
they took care of my cat in a timely manner . 5 min wait!
They REALLY love dogs! That's all that matters...everything else follows.
We enjoyed Uncle Jeff's Pet Sitting very much. We left our 2 small dogs and have never been happier. Uncle Jeff groomed both dogs and they looked great. We arranged for adult training for our older dog and puppy training for the younger one. Both displayed better manners when at home.We were also happy that both dogs were exercised and walked . We would definitely recommend Uncle Jeff's to everyone.
Jeff is a dedicated pet caretaker. He provided an in home atmosphere for your dog or cat like no other. His love for his your animal is apparent and your pet will feel like he is home upon arrival. He provides my big 130 lb white American bulldog with the same care an affection he shows for all animals, your pet will love the experience
What an amazing person and actually he is part of my family now he is always taking care of my Frenchi he doesn’t even want to go home that’s how much he love uncle Jeff
Uncle Jeffs is one of the best animal boarding and pet sitting services I have encountered The owner Jeff is very professional and really easy to talk to he fully understood all my concerns about my pets and assured me everything would be fine he is a former Vet tech so he knows how to handle any emergencies that might arise.which put my mind at ease because my pets are getting up there in age so I would want someone who knows what their doing taking care of them in my absence . Thank you DS
We left Koba our Dobermann puppy with Uncle Jeff for day and night care and we really feel so comfortable with his services, the love he has for animals is indescribable, we sincerely recommend his place. thanks uncle jeff. We'll see you again.
Jeff is the Bomb ,He Takes care of my Dog Maggie on the weekend. I recommend his service to any pet owner who is looking for a kind compassionate pet lover to care for your animal like its his own.BTW Maggie loves comming to Uncle Jeffs pet sitting. .Your pet will Love this place .Regards Bruce Ferguson
I just loved the care and love Uncle Jeff's Pet Service provided for my little princess. Uncle Jeff's washed and groomed her and helped with her overall training. I would recommend Uncle Jeff's Pet Service to anyone who's looking for the overall love and care that Uncle Jeff's Pet Service provides.
One of the best pet care professionals out there. I highly recommend Jeff for any aspect animal care. Loving, careful, knowledgeable and treats your baby as his own. A good guy to know!
Our puppy absolutely loves Jeff and going over there for daycare. He is always work out and happy after a visit. I highly recommend Jeff!
Uncle Jeff is the ONLY place my Dobie stays now when I'm out of town. I leave Khasar with him 3-4 times a year for the past 4 years. He's the best!
The day I have my pet dog is also the day I search and found Happy Paws. I am happy that I have them for my pet. They took full responsibility of my pet when I gave the authority to check up on her. I appreciated how they love my pet, how they care for her and how they understand some faulty key that my pet does.Esther always delivered an awesome pamper with my pet. She always sure that he sent me the cutest photos of her during her appointment with them, daily advise and updates! I will continue patronizing Happy Paws for my next line of pets.
Finally found the best dog and cat boarding. I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter. My dog and cat we're so happy here. They always hated going to dog hotels and I was lucky to have found this home away from home for pets.
Best cage-free boarding place for cats ever! Our two cats got lots of love and attention there. I will definitely use their services again and highly recommend them to friends.
Lora is wonderful and is so kind to my dog. Her dogs are playful and make my dog,Ozzy, feel so welcome! I will use Happy Paws every time we travel.
I was stressed out about finding a really good dog boarding place for my furry babies, one takes insulin and the other is very old, but this place (a home) did a wonderful job and I highly recommend her.
Absolutely loved this place! Mona goes the extra mile to make your cat feel very comfortable and safe. Also the price is extremely reasonable. My cat was very very happy there. Highly recommend!
We left our older dog Bailey for 12 days. It was our first time being gone for that long and we were looking for the perfect fit and this was it! Great experience! Thank you!
My dog really enjoyed staying here. I highly recommend this place (an actual home away from home) to anyone who wants the most compassionate way of dog boarding.
Top notch service!! We almost qualify as a Zoo, considering the amount and eclectic cast of animals we have in our family and Valley Pet Sitting handles them all incredibly! We especially love the detailed updates and photographs when they come over... makes us feel like we're there and they are being taken care of with love. Five stars all day!
I cannot say enough good things about Valley Pet Sitting. We have used them for several years now to visit our cat, Mr. Pudds, whenever we travel and the service has been outstanding. We just returned from three weeks away, and each day we looked forward to the full report and photos we received to help us feel connected with our cat. In addition to the daily cleaning of the litter box and feeding and playing with Mr. Pudds, they brought in packages, brought up the trash cans, and watered the plants. We felt very grateful that our cat and our home was in such good hands. Many thanks!
We have been using Valley Pet Sitting for 5... maybe 6 years. They are the best. I really cannot state how comforted I am to have them take care of our cats and dog when we are away. I feel safe with them in my home as well. They are respectful, prompt, kind, easy to work with. A+ all around.
We have been using Valley Pet Sitting for the past 6 years and are very satisfied with their services. The pet sitters they send to take care of our kitties have always been cat lovers (which is essential!) and they follow our instructions to the T! We also find their prices very reasonable and their online portal easy to use. On a personal note, when my 16 1/2 year old cat died last year, I was too emotional to delete her as a pet from the online portal, and Sharon with Customer Service very kindly offered to do it for me. Those little touches mean a lot.
We have been really impressed and SO happy with how Vally Pet Sitting has taken care of our sweet kitty buddy when both of us are out of town. Our cat tends to have a lot of anxiety when both owners are not at home and has not done well with many sitters in the past. Vally Pet Sitting spends time with him, loving on him, caring for him and we have noticed a huge shift in out cat’s behavior when we come home from long trips. Highly recommend them! Their online booking is really easy too! Communicating and updating is seamless. We never feel out of the loop or unheard.
As a woman living alone with my young daughter, I take extreme caution with the people I allow into my home, especially in my absence. My two cats mean the world to my daughter and I, so it was no surprise that I have been apprehensive to take a getaway and leave them home alone. In researching my options, I came across VPS and talked to someone over the phone after reading through reviews on several different sites. They were so reassuring!! They completely understood how important my home and animals are to me and helped me every step of the way. I got detailed status reports after each visit and the BEST photos I have ever seen of my babies!! They are always fast to respond, even to the smallest of questions or even little comments about my visits. When I got back home, it was as if I had never left, everything was done as if I had done it, including not only my cats but by two fish tanks and several houseplants as well. Clean and tidy, no messes left behind and I'm pretty sure someone wiped down my countertops before organizing my mail in a neat pile! Very attentive to detail, and go above and beyond in their service. Unlike other companies, their office staff and pet sitters work together to make sure both you and your pet are taken care of. Other companies I looked into just send sitters alone and there is no one there to help them if there is an emergency! I highly recommend VPS to everyone with or without pets (they do home care too!) , if you are leaving on a vacation they are a must have option for assurance that everything and everyone at home is a-ok. We love VPS!
I have been fortunate to have the services of Valley Pet Sitting for the past two years. They have helped me in regular petsitting and short notice situations, in both LA and Ventura counties. The sitters have taken great care of our animals and our house. I know that everything is being cared for thoughtfully, and I am able to enjoy my trip. Thank you Shira and your exceptional staff.
Reposting an old review, I still use VPS and will always use them forever! : I love this company! I've never used a pet sitting service before (I'm not trusting type and always used family/friends), but holidays and covid meant I needed to either hire someone to come to my home or board my two cats. I didn't want to board my little fur balls since that's stressful for them (one came from a shelter and has a fear of strangers/new places), so opted to hire Valley Pet Sitting for the two weeks I was out of country for Christmas/New Years. I'm so happy! They answered all my questions before signing up, they helped me figure out the app, price was reasonable, and super flexible when my plans changed (airline cancelled my flight so I had to change dates/flights). The sitters themselves were super friendly and definitely were animal lovers. I got daily pictures and a written updates (totally going to keep the cute photos of my kitties 😻). Everyday the cats got fresh food, water, clean litter boxes, and pets/cuddles. I liked how the sitters were able to gain the trust of the cats and one even jumped into their laps for cuddles. How cute! I'm definitely going to use this company again and I feel better knowing I can book them in future whenever I want to leave town for trips.
When it comes to taking care of my various fish tanks ranging from Fresh to Salt water, Plants, and Breeder tanks, Valley Pet Sitting Inc. is the most trusted choice. They are the only ones that can handle all the various conditions and feedings my fish need, and I know it will be done as well as if I had actually taken care of them myself! They kept me updated after every visit not only taking care of all my tanks, but also watered my plants, brought my mail and packages in, and took out the trash on trash day. I got pictures as well which were wonderful so I can see my fish!!! I highly recommend Valley Pet Sitting Inc. to everyone that needs peace of mind when they travel and I plan to go again in a few weeks and will be calling them.
The best! Highly recommend. Personal touches like posting daily visit pics of our cats and a cleaned litter box. Also our sitter posts a diary entry of how each visit went! I LOVE VALLEY PET SITTING!
