Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Sofia and Nicole were excellent sitters to our 2 playful cats (an adult tabby and a BIG Maine coon kitten). They gave us a couple updates daily with pictures, as we requested. They were easy to communicate with before and throughout the entire sit. When we came home, our apartment was tidy (probably neater than we left it!) and our cats were relaxed and happy. They were also kind enough to leave us with some sweet bandanas for our boys. We were super pleased with the quality of care, and would happily recommend Sofia and Nicole to anyone in need of a pet or house sitter!
"A relaxing and long time away from home made possible by the best pet & house sitters we could have asked for!" Judy and Steph went the extra mile over their entire one month stay at our home. Both our cats became fast friends thanks to the care and dedication provided for them. We were routinely updated with spectacular photos of our furry girls throughout our leave that helped us be anxiety-free the entire time. Even our older shy cat spent time sleeping on their laps or hanging out on shoulders. As for the house, Judy and Steph left it even cleaner than when they arrived! We had a few tasks to maintain the lawn and potted plants outside, which were completed perfectly. They even tended to our vegetable garden where needed! During a 'risk of severe hail storm' alert, Judy and Steph kept us in the loop and went even further to place potted plants under shelter out of harms way. In summary, we recommend Judy and Steph and would happily have them return again if our schedules cross paths.
Kathryn was a wonderful sitter for Princessa! She was flexible and communicative and took great care of my cat and home.
We knew that we would have a good experience with Carole & Ron from the moment we first had a video chat with them. They are very experienced house sitters and it showed in the questions they asked about our cats and our home. We were so fascinated by them that we invited them to arrive a day early so that we could all go out for lunch and then dinner to hear about their travel stories and share a few of our own. When we left, we felt very confident in our choice and took off on our trip with confidence that our dear kitties would be well cared for. We were not disappointed as Carole & Ron sent us photos and an update the very next day to let us know that all was well. During the next two weeks, we never had a moment of concern and fully enjoyed our vacation knowing that these seasoned sitters were both looking after our place and also enjoying themselves exploring our wonderful city of Philadelphia. We came home to two very happy cats, a clean house, and even a full bowl of fresh fruit on our kitchen counter. We would absolutely have Carole & Ron sit for us again and we wish them the very best of fun and exploration in their future adventures!
Angel was absolutely the best house sitter we could have hoped for. She is a very warm, open and diligent person and our two cats adored her. She looked after our house and garden with really conscientious care. She won over our very timid cat, Billie, and sent regular photos of both cats looking supremely content which gave us perfect peace of mind. The house was completely spotless on our return and the garden was fabulous... no mean feat since there was a heatwave while we were away and she kept everything watered and in great condition. We would have Angel back at the drop of a hat and cannot recommend her highly enough.
Lindsey watched our cat and dog for a long weekend when we went out of town. She was a very communicative sitter sending frequent pictures and voice notes with updates. She did a great job of following their schedules and giving them attention. The animals seemed to be happy and relaxed when we returned home and I believe Lindsey enjoyed getting to discover all of the eateries our town has to offer. A win-win for everyone!
Tracy was an ideal pet sitter when we left for 12 days. She was communicative, friendly, and most importantly took perfect care of our two cats and our house. I would highly recommend her for any sit!
Jinnie was an excellent house sitter for me and my cat Felix. Completely responsible and reliable and helpfully flexible. She was willing to work with me as I dithered on whether I was actually going to go on my trip (which was dependent on good weather), and when I finally decided on making my trip one day shorter. House was clean and organized on my return, and, more importantly, my cat was calm and relaxed on my return. I would happily have Jinnie come sit for me and Felix again.
Steven was a great sitter for our black lab Souris and cat Pinot. They were well looked after and really liked Steven. Our house was in good order when we got back and Steven was kind enough to give us a lift to and from the airport. He was very flexible, arriving day early so we could show him around.
Rick and Sally are marvelous cat sitters and we would gladly have them back anytime. We highly recommend them to any and all pet owners. They arrived when they said they would and were ready to go when we returned, making sure our cats were present before departing. Our home was left spotless, undoubtedly better than we left it for them. We can't urge you enough to engage them if you can!
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $20 per visit, per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
Lovely dog boarding location out in the flats. They are very caring of our pet with epilepsy, making sure she gets all meds at the correct times, asking if they need special precautions. I do wish they would accept credit cards instead of cash or check, especially since you can then pay by credit card at the daycare building. Seems odd. But they are wonderful, clean, and caring! Great value for the cost.
The place is amazing. The people are so kind very good people. The entire property is immaculately clean. I had the best experience I walked away with the perfect for Leo. I don't think I'd ever go anywhere else.
This was our first time boarding our dog Glaze. She had so much fun on her 2 day stay she had to spend a day recovering from her play vacay! Thanks to all who tired her out. This is a great set up on a really nice piece of property in Bow, WA. Price $40 per day includes feeding, play time, supervision and company. Need to pay in cash or check. So glad we found a place that we trust and our dog likes!
Everything was great. Our dog was very happy to stay and sad to leave, I think. It is a little pricey, but worth it for the attention and the dogs get to play together, which is awesome.
We’ve been bringing our dog here for years and she is always so happy when she gets dropped off and worn out and happy when picked up. We always feel safe traveling knowing she’s staying with them. Staff and everyone is just wonderful and you can tell genuinely care about each of the dogs. Highly recommend.
Everyone is so great here. My dog is always worn out and happy when I pick him up. I wish he was equally excited to be dropped off but he does not like men and gets super scared if a woman isn't the one to check him in. I just wish there were more women working on the boarding side as there are at the day care. My boy LOVES daycare and barely waits to get out of the car when we pull into the parking lot.
Tried for the first time recently. Unfortunately our dog had to stay for 11 days, as we flew to visit family. We had no idea, but apparently, our dog is TERRIFIED of trains- be warned- if your dog doesn't like trains or loud noise, the tracks are about 20 ft from the dog play yard. Our dog panicked the first day, first train, they said she ran hard into the chain link fence and cut a big gash on her head. So, they said she couldn't be in the yard playing with dogs, they had to keep her in her own run. My main complaint- as we had no idea the train would be an issue- is they didn't communicate any of this. We assumed our dog was happy while we were away. Not until I showed up (jet-lagged) to retrieve her did we learn of the problems and see the big scab on her head. 🤨😢
We've been boarding our terriers here for 7 years. We're always concerned about safe, attentive care since our dog is family. Joan did our dog's obedience training years ago. When I saw the owner work with the dogs, I knew my dog would get good care.
Love that I can make reservations on line. My two sibling male dogs can board together and staff seem to recognize them after boarding there several times. wish though that owners seemed happier when bringing my beloved family members to stay for a few days rather than looking like I just brought them more work. They have nice evening and weekend hours which is convenient. Kennels were always clean or in process of being cleaned Appreciated that they require current proof of vaccination ( s).
I boarded my older Rotty here several times. On the plus side they were willing to take a breed that several refused to keep and discriminated against. She always came home well fed and seemingly happy. I will complain that she always came home with at least one paw pad rubbed raw. And when I say that I mean pink and bleeding. Also it seemed that it didn't matter how much food or treats I gave them, I never got anything back. The last time I boarded her there I informed them that my dog was terminally ill and they acted like they didn't want to take her. Not only that but they said she was aggressive during her visit which is very unlike her. Even when I she didn't get her pain meds my dog as not aggressive. This appears to be like most boarding places the plus being that they are let out to play with other dogs. If your dog doesn't play well with others I'd avoid it.
The best thing about Puget Hounds is that my dearest dog, Jake, loves to go there. He gets his hugs and love from the lovely people who work there. He has his regular dog friends. It is a second home to him. He is safe, he is fed to my directions. It is a great place for a dog and a great business to work with for a dog’s owner.
My dog Mady seems to love all of your staff. I believe that he has a good time playing with the other dogs. I was so impressed with Amber on your staff. I am handicapped and I was fearful that my dog could get out when someone opened the front dog if he was not tight on his leash. Amber helped me put his leash and harness on. She was so thoughtful and kind. Mady is only ten months old. He is a lot for me to handle with my osteoarthritis, but no one could love him more dearly and give him a better home than me. He needs the socialization at Puget Hound that I cannot give him at home.
Earlier this year we got our pup Luna signed up. She loves going to daycare! She has made great friends and it always excited when we drop her off. She comes home tired from a day full of play. The staff are very friendly.
Puget Hound has been an absolute sweet haven of delight for my dog. She loves daycare and all the fun and social interaction with other dogs. The staff is so kind and caring. The team makes it so stress free and easy to manage drop off and pick up scheduling. We can’t say enough great things about Puget Hound
Our lab Bode has been going to Puget Hound since March and so far he's loving it! It was unnerving sending my fur-baby off to daycare for the first time, but the staff at Puget Hound have been very responsive to any questions or concerns that come up. I would like to give a special thanks to Abby & Riley. Abby did our initial questionnaire for his temperament test and was super reassuring throughout the process (this helped me feel like he was in good hands!) Upon drop off/pick up, Riley always has a smile on her face and (today specifically) was prompt in relaying Bode's first photos and report with me - I'm so grateful. Big thanks to all the staff at Puget Hound!
Bandit has been going to Puget for over two years now. Not only does it give him an opportunity to run and play all day, it gives him time to interact with the other pups, which is a good thing for him. The staff are great. They clean him up on the wet days, and the always have him ready when it's time to go home. Having him somewhere that they show they care about him as much as we do is important.
Puget hound has been such a god send for me! I work from home and am always looking for an opportunity to get my little Rosie the chance to play while I’m typing away. The staff here has always fostered a fun, safe, and seamless environment for Rosie to have the best time! She has made so many friends and always comes home ready to sleep for days! Thank you Puget hound for being Rosie’s second home!
My dog Monty absolutely loves it here! He can't wait to go "play with doggies" as I tell him! The staff is so helpful, attentive, and really love the dogs, and you can really tell the dogs are having fun too. I love that he gets indoor and outdoor play time and comes home tired at the end of the day. I haven't used their boarding yet, but I would feel totally safe leaving Monty with The Puget Hound for any length of time. As a very protective dog parent, having someplace that I can safely leave my pup for the day while I run errands, work, or do whatever needs to be done is priceless. I'm so happy I found Puget Hound and recommend them to anyone!!
recently in the area and required dog daycare for my dog. Puget hound was absolutely amazing with accommodating my need and took him for the afternoon. I was impressed with the cleanliness of the facility and friendliness of the staff. Great service and my dog seemed to have a good afternoon there
Our small dog always has a great time and has made friends. Great place to let your dog have fun while you're at work. Would recommend to others.
Kate watched both my dog (Todd) and my sister’s dog (Lenny) at my home over a long holiday weekend. Both being labradoodles, they are energetic and can be a handful. Not only was she able to provide updates and photos each day, she handled them with amazing skill. We came home to a clean house and two very happy pups. I will definitely use her services again, and would highly recommend her to other family and friends!
Kate is simply the best. We trust our Charlie girl with her and know that she cares about Charlie as much as we do. It makes me so happy and relieved to know that Charlie has a sitter who loves her so much and takes such great care of her when we can't be with her. Kate takes her on hour long walks and takes photos of her every time for us. The best part is that Charlie is smiling in all of them! I would highly recommend Kate and I'm so glad we found her!
My wife and I found Kate & Wagnolia thru Google, after our sitter-at-the-time found another job. She's been great with our energetic (handful) Doberman puppy and adult English Setter. Appreciate her text updates and flexibility with our family's schedule. Thankful for all of her help!
The owners are friendly to us and our dogs. They are more attentive than other dog boarding companies and took very good care of our 8 month puppy who is still learning to be social. The owners updated us with a video of our dogs every day while we were traveling.
This was our pup's first time being boarded, so we were a little nervous. Kate came highly recommended. I knew when I dropped our pup off, he was in good hands! I got daily photos and/or videos, he looked so happy, and that helped us enjoy our vacation. Glad to have found trusted, high quality care for our dog. We will definitely use Magnolia again!
Kate is amazing with my senior bulldog, Gigi. I travel extensively for work and I leave knowing that Gigi is well cared for and given lots of love. Kate is very responsive to texts and I appreciate all her pictures of my pup while I am gone. Quite simply you will find no better sitter in the area, I highly recommend Kate!
We recently found Wagnolia Petsitting and are so grateful. Kate has been absolutely wonderful taking care of our dog and cat. We always feel comfortable leaving our fur babies with her. We get so many cute pictures and our pets are always happy.
Kate takes great care of our two dogs when we are out of town. She sends us updates and is quick to respond to us if we have any questions. It feels great to not have to worry about our dogs when we are away. Definitely recommend Wagnolia!
I would only trust Wagnolia with my pets! My dogs love Kate and her team! It’s the best feeling when you have to leave your animals with someone that you LOVE and your pets LOVE even more! Thank you for taking such good care of our babies and treating them like they are your own! I would recommend Wagnolia 100%. Hank and Kathy love you guys!
Kate is an excellent sitter. We’ve know her for 2 years now. Our two dogs (one elderly, one young) and cat all love her! She is super responsible and an excellent caretaker. We contact her first when we are looking for care needs!
Erik has taken excellent care of our large greyhound since we adopted our pup in March. Greyhounds can be shy and aloof to strangers, but Erik seems to have a natural intuition in engaging with my dog; this is evident during our first meeting, and our boy has maintained a bond with Erik ever since. My significant other and I both have highly demanding jobs, and Erik has been blessing to us especially in caring for our energetic boy both during the day and sometimes overnight home stays. He pays great attention to details, has been flexible with scheduling, and always provide timely updates to let us know how our dog is doing. I knew our pup was in great hands when we arranged a week-long overnight stay with Erik. We have been incredibly pleased with how professional, communicative, and passionate Erik is about taking care of our pup.
Erik is GREAT. My little pup really looks forward to her walks with Erik.
One of the most compassionate and experienced person that I have ever met. Harley (my doggie) looks for Eric on the weekends. He truly is the animal whisperer. This is Harley the Great Dane
Erik does great with our German Shepherd puppy! He is reliable and trustworthy. We never have any concerns about our baby or the house when Erik is coming in and out. I have and will continue to recommend his services. I especially appreciate the pics he sends when he is there with her-it helps to see her so happy!
I love Erik and have been using him for years. We had a new rescue this year and even on the first visit he quickly acclimatised even though he was nervous with men specifically. I never have any doubts leaving my dogs with Erik.
Erik has helped me take care of my pet Blue and Gold Macaw and our family cat off and on for the past three years. He has been very reliable and trustworthy! We had long vacations where he needed to help us daily and he made friends with our very shy cat and was able to tend our parrot making our vacation worry free. Thank you Erik for your service!
Erik has watched our two cats twice now. Both times for four days. One of our cats has asthma and needs an inhaler. Erik has been able to give her this medication with ease and we are so grateful! We have been so impressed with this service. He is prompt and kind. Very communicative. The price is extremely reasonable. This most recent trip, we accidentally got the days wrong and he was able to accommodate! The cats really like him. Professionalism is at a 10! We will definitely hire him whenever we’re out of town and we recommend him to anyone!
My dogs love Erik! The are full of excitement when they see him arrive. He is very dependable and professional! I have two high energy dogs that Erik handles with ease. I highly recommend him!
We highly recommend Erik (Crazy Dog Man) for pet sitting. We have a large black lab/pit bull/Great Dane mix (Harley) that is a rescue, abused as a pup many years ago. He is therefore apprehensive around new people and takes awhile to gain trust. When Harley met Erik earlier this year, he took to him right away. Erik respects and understands Harley and his needs, especially now that he is a senior dog and has health issues. Erik stays at our house when we are on vacation and the occasional weekend, and provides Harley with exceptional care, including all his medications. Erik is definitely in tune with dogs, no matter their size.
Erik is very capable, conscientious and caring. My three horses and one donkey can be a handful but Erik handled them beautifully. He also did a great job of keeping their stalls, paddock and arena clean. I have recommended him to my friends, because they know I’m very particular about the quality of my pet family’s care. Erik provides that level of care!
I love Boulevard Bark! They are so good with our animals and help take the worry out of traveling. Each day we get updates on how the animals are doing (including pictures!) and a wonderful summary of the overall pet care when we get home. Highly recommend!
I absolutely love Boulevard Bark! My dog has always struggled with being boarded when I have to travel. After researching lots of petting sitting services, I decided to try Boulevard. Best decision ever. Dixie's carer, Emily, was kind, gentle and patient. There were pictures and daily updates so I could see how Dixie was doing everyday. I was able to relax and enjoy my trip knowing Dixie was happy and well cared for. This service is well worth the cost (and peace of mind). I will definitely be a return customer.
Emily from Boulevard Bark walks our dogs every week. We have one dog that is a bit of a challenge, but he loves Emily and waits at the top of the steps for her to arrive for the walks. Emily is reliable, professional and trustworthy. We feel super lucky to have Emily and Boulevard Bark to take care of our family pets. I highly recommend Boulevard Bark, they are the best pet care service I have used in all my years as a dog owner. 5 Stars for sure!
I have used Jessica and Emily for over a year for care for our two dogs. They are easy to get ahold of and prompt with replies when I have last minute changes or requests. They are consistent with reinforcing our training efforts. It’s clear just how much the dogs love them since they patiently start waiting by the door a few minutes before their scheduled walks. We have used Boulevard Bark for an overnight stay and wouldn’t hesitate to do so again. I would recommend them to anyone looking for care for their pets.
We recently used Boulevard Bark for the first time, for a three week vacation out of the country. We chose the extended overnight option for our 2 large dogs and 2 cats, pet sitting from 3pm to 8am the following morning. It was a great fit. We received daily photos and updates on all our animals, which allowed us to focus on our trip. We greatly appreciated both their professionalism and affordability. My animals were calm and happy when we returned home. We look forward to utilizing their services again and again.
This family-operated group of animal lovers is simple the best. They amazing care of my furry monsters, and both my cat and dog seem more mellow when I return than they have with past sitters. My dog is a bit of a handful (super reactive to other animals), but sweet and I trust them to handle her. They even have a vet tech on staff! They've also managed to help me last minute when my pup caught a rotovirus and couldn't stay home all day while I worked. They are professional, trustworthy, and lovely in general. I highly recommend their services!
We all love Boulevard Bark! Rose is our dog's primary walker. She is so nice, flexible and accommodating, and completely reliable. Our dog also loves Rose - he starts baying and running around as soon as he hears her car pull up the driveway. Then he goes into a happy yelp dance when he sees her. It's so sweet. Thanks for the love! Thanks for your help!
Boulevard Bark is a top notch professional pet sitting business. I have a busy out of town work schedule and we take vacations once a year up to 10 days. Boulevard Bark has always been able to fit us in with with outstanding service. We have 3-dogs and 2-cats and there well taken of. If you want a great pet sitter, call Boulevard Bark!
Emily does an amazing job with our pups. Our house and our dogs are a bit of a challenge. Even so, we always come home to a well-kept house and happy dogs. We really appreciate the kindness she has shown our dogs and the daily updates!
I am so grateful that we found Boulevard Bark to take care of our 3 dogs when we go out of town! Two of our dogs are special needs cases and Emily has it all under control :) We get daily updates and pictures and come home to relaxed and happy pups!
These guys are the best and I'm picky who I entrust my dogs with. They treat them like family and are very thoughtful
We have hired Totally Tails Pet Care Services to take care of our two indoor cats many times over the past year, and we couldn't be more pleased. We receive daily email photo updates along with thorough, detailed reports while we are gone. We know they get plenty of attention and affection because our cats are always cheerful and calm when we get home with no signs of separation anxiety. Thank you Michele for your great service!
Totally Tails Pet Care Services has provided excellent, caring and reliable dog walking/pet care five days a week for the last year for our two Golden Retrievers (our dogs are now one year old and nine years old). Our family is so impressed with the level of service and professionalism provided by Totally Tails Pet Care! I highly recommend them! The daily pictures of our pets, which they email us, are just the best. It is so reassuring to know that our furry family members are well cared for while we are at work.
I hired Totally Tails to watch after my 2 dogs while I was on vacation in Hawaii. I knew I didn’t want to kennel them, so I was excited about someone coming to my home to feed, exercise, and care for my pups. Not only do they do a fantastic job of exercising the dogs they sent DAILY photos and follow-ups of their health and progress. These reports made me feel very comfortable with Totally Tails. They also rotated indoor lighting so as to give the impression that someone is always home. Superb service! Beats kenneling when your pups are in their home environment. I will contract with them again!
When it comes to Totally Tails, I have nothing but positive things to say. We trust the entire team completely and know that our dogs are in great hands when we're away. Even if our regular sitter isn't available, there is always someone on standby to ensure our pups receive all the love and attention they need. Ramona runs her business with precision and ease, making scheduling and communication a breeze. We feel lucky to have Totally Tails in our dogs' lives and highly recommend them to anyone in need of pet care services.
This was the best pet care service we have ever experienced. An excellent value. The daily 30-minute visit was packed with focused attention to our cat's specific needs: food, medication, daily litter box cleaning, brushing, play time with treats, supervised outdoor deck time (indoor cat), and loving lap petting time. We received a daily review with pictures that served as both comfort and joy to us while we were away. Absolutely reliable. Knowledgeable about animal care. Loving and attentive. Professional. Responsible. Attentive to detail. Michele made sure we provided for unanticipated problems prior to leaving so our bases were covered in any event. THE BEST. We came home to a calm, happy, well cared for cat.
As fellow pet care providers we are quite picky who we leave our pack with should we go out of town. Ramona took care of a large zoo of animals (game birds, fish, Guinea pigs, and dogs). Her updates were thorough, and we came home to a clean house and happy animals. If you need a professional you can trust, you've found one here. Part of why we never leave town is not having had anyone we felt comfortable leaving them with, but now we do!
I love Michelle! We trust her implicitly with our dog and home. She goes above and beyond by bringing in our trash cans and packages when she's at our home for a dog visit. She sends us texts and pictures of our dog so we know she's taken care of. And she insists you text her that you're back home so she's assured your pet is safe. That's excellent care! Highly recommend her!
Camano Pet Sitters hav been taking care of my two Springer Spaniels for the last 2 years and I couldn't be happier. I have the peace of mind of knowing that my dogs are being loved and cared for when I have to be gone during the day. I don't know what I would do without Michele, Pat and their crew of dog lovers. I highly recommend them for you and your pet!
I was stressed, four sorta feral cats and I had to take a trip. My vet said boarding was a bad idea because none of them would adjust well - in addition to being expensive. Camano Pet Sitters to the rescue! Not only did they do a professional job I think they made headway with my cats who were actually peeking out at them by the end of the week. I cannot recommend Camano Pet Sitters highly enough - they are now my go to folks when I have to travel. My neighbors, who travel regularly, were so impressed by the level of professionalism and caring my pets received they will be switching to Camano Pet Sitters.
I was staying in the Lyden area camping and needing an overnight facilty for my dog because we had to go fishing VERY early. I contacted Rover Stay Over and set-up a reservation. Even being from out of town, they were able to take my dog because I had all the appropriate vaccine information, etc. Bailey had a great time and was one tired pup when I picked him up. Thank you Rover Stay Over for the ease of everything. "Your facility is PAWsome!" - @sirbaileyshark
We needed some help for a few hours during a day trip across the border. Not having connections in the area, this site was a perfect resource. The process was seamless and communication was great. Tobi had a great time here and we are grateful for their services.
Rover Stay Over was able to get my dog in for a 6 day “emergency” when my regular boarder went on vacation. The facility is clean and professional. The staff clearly LOVES the dogs (I got to hear them talk to other pet parents - it wasn’t just me). I loved the report card and photos so I knew Charlie was having a great time. I’m definitely going to be a regular!!!
I was looking for a new place to groom our 2 year old cockapoo. It was suggested for me to bring him to Rover stay over for grooming, which I didn’t know they had grooming options. I was very happy to find that our dog was groomed to exactly how I had asked and was treated with care and love. Plus, the price was completely reasonable and very much within my budget. I will definitely come here again!
Our dog loves going to Rover Stay Over for their daycare playgroup! Her excitement shows when we drop her off. She gets to run off leash and play with other dogs in a fenced, supervised area, which is so good for her. The staff there is friendly and experienced. We’ve also boarded our dog there from one to several days and are happy with that experience too.
We love taking our doggos to Rover Stay Over. The dogs are super excited to get there, practically singing with glee when they see we are slowing to turn into the driveway. The staff clearly love all their charges and we love them back. The only gripe we have is regarding overnight boarding policy that if you leave your dog after 11am on the pick up day they will charge for another day of boarding rather than a day of daycare. This is a new change this year, which is why it is why I mention it. We have learned how to work with this, but we preferred the way they did it before. Thank you for being in the community and making our dogs so happy !
Our pup came home very ill with some respiratory infection, lethargic, not eating. He could barely keep his eyes open. They told us this 2 days before I picked him up early- and only because I called and inquired how he was. Only one report card after a couple days and then several days went by with no communication. I had to call and ask for one, and then they said he was coughing and they would " keep an eye on him." Said he also wasnt eating. Seems they should have realized he was getting really ill.He's been home 24 hours and looks very sick- going to vet first thing tomorrow. They need to do much better with observation, and communication potential issues. Not recommended at all. My dog was a healthy 8 month old when he went in. I'm quite concerned now.
We love Rover Stay Over and have left our dog, Briggs, in their care for many years. We love picking him up freshly bathed in his adorable bandana, exhausted, happy, and healthy.
My dog didn’t want to come home with me. I was happy and sad all at once, as he kept looking back. Once we got home, he curled up in his bed and took a nap. I could tell that he was tuckered out from so much fun. We look forward to our follow-up visit the following weekend and plan on making this part of our routine. Thank you I will recommend you to everyone I know with a canine friend.
Rover Stay Over was absolutely phenomenal! I have a dog who has quite a bit of anxiety and fear of humans and they accommodated him perfectly. The staff is friendly and let me walk my dog back to his kennel to say goodbye and partially due to his anxiety which was very helpful. I can’t recommend Rover enough and this will be the only place I take my dog moving forward.
I have been a very happy client of Hot Dawg Pet Care since 2018. I appreciate that their services can be tailored to meet our pets' varying needs, from short visits to longer visits to manage our current blended cat family who do not get along and require very special handling. Tamara and her crew have been there for us through multiple pets, homes, and evolving needs, and I recommend them highly.
The level of care that Tamara gives to her animal clients is unmatched. I don’t know of many people who care as much as she does. She does this because she loves what she does and it’s important to her that animals are treated with kindness & respect. I highly recommend.
Tamara is fantastic! She takes a personal interest in each of our kitties, and makes sure they get the attention and love they deserve when we are away from home.
My German Shepherd lights up every time she’s greeted at the door. She’s always met with loving energy and is always excited to be here! More than just boarding there was such attentiveness and care given and Iris, my German Shepherd is always such a happy puppy when I pick her up! I’m always provided with pictures and updates while Iris is in her care and it’s really nice to have that peace of mind as I go about my day! I always feel like I’m trusting my Iris with a close friend, not just a business. From Doggy Daycare to house calls or just simple dog walks, there’s no one else I would rather have my looking after my baby and I would highly recommend this place to anyone in need of pet care!
One of the best doggie daycare I've ever experienced!!! My two fur babies are my pride and joy and to be able to get pictures sent during daycare was a great way for me to see how my babies were doing. I was even able to board my fur babies while I went on vacation recently and it was the most relaxing feeling knowing my pups were having a blast and well taken care of! Definitely highly recommend especially when wanting the best care for your babies!
All Lives Paradise will always be my go to for all my pet care needs. From drop in daycare to boarding All Lives Paradise provides a safe fun environment for my dogs to socialize and explore.
First time leaving my dog under someone else's care since I got Nala. Outstanding services and professionalism! Rachael asked questions regarding Nala that made me know she was looking after my dog's best interest! I received a happy Nala back, and though I don't like the thought of being away from my pup, I know she is in good hands with this place!!
I’ve had Rachael of All Lives Paradise care for my 2 dogs and 1 cat on several occasions now. The most recent being last week and involved a family emergency that required me to get to Oregon immediately. Exceptional care and concern was provided to my fur friends (on every occasion) and they and I couldn’t be more happy with the services provided. She also sent pictures and updates on how they were doing and their activities. EXCELLENT !!! Rachael and All Lives Paradise is the ONLY pet care service I will use and she and her company have a customer for life. Thanks again Rachael…very much.
Very caring company, they take their time with all animals they take care of. Definitely recommend them to anyone looking for daycare or boarding for their animals. 5 star animal hotel essentially lol love the staff there they are all very genuine people. The owner is super sweet and caring.
Amazing care that comes from the heart ❤️ weather your pet has problems with others or health conditions your pets are always in good care ❤️ pretty much a second home for your pets needs for a worry free vacation 🫶🏻 …
She's great with the animals she cares for and incredibly hard working!
Best place ever she treats everyone with respect ill neverbgo anywhere else
Thank you for much for your review!
I’ve never felt compelled to write a Google Review before but I need to sing Thomas’ praises! Truly one of the best caretakers and services I’ve ever experienced. Not only is excellent about staying in touch (reminder texts, checking in about anything around the house that seems amiss, sending pictures when he visits), I can tell that our cats absolutely love him. We have one outgoing kitty and one shy one, but when Thomas sends photos it’s so clear that the cats are having fun and are enjoying their time. Showing their bellies, playing, etc.! And Thomas’ pet photography is unmatched. I don’t know what we would do without him!
Thomas is a great pet sitter. Very caring, reliable and professional! He is wonderful with our kitties. Even our shy kitty greets him when he comes to care for them. Thomas was very thorough in the information that he gathered to care for our kitties and home. He reconfirms scheduled services a few days in advance, sends emails and pictures when caring for the kitties and asks that we notify him upon our return so he knows that we're home to take care of everything again. We've been very pleased with Thomas' services and will continue to ask him to care for our kitties. We highly recommend Thomas to anyone looking for quality pet care services. Your pets will thank you!
Thomas is a great pet sitter! While we were on vacation, he sent us emails containing photos of our cats. Our house was clean, and he did everything so well! Very professional, would recommend to others in need of a pet sitter. Thanks to you Thomas for taking care of our kitties!
Update May 2023: We picked back up with Thomas after the pandemic and his service is still wonderful. Excellent care for our cats, one of whom has a complex care routine. We've used Thomas four times since November and it's been awesome. On our most recent trip, we were delayed and had to ask for one more visit at the last minute. Thomas was flexible and accommodating. It made an already stressful situation much easier! Five stars. Original review: This was our first time using a professional pet sitter to look after our two adult cats--and we couldn't be happier with our decision. Our experience started with a home visit so that we could meet Thomas and he could meet our cats. Thomas was very accommodating of our schedules and agreed to meet on a Friday evening. His first move was to crouch down and meet our cats at their level. He treated them respectfully and non-threateningly. Then, he talked with us for about thirty minutes about our needs, our normal procedures, his normal procedures, etc. At the end of the meeting, we felt confident that he would take the responsibility seriously. He even had a number of general pet care tips that he shared with us that we hadn't heard before. A few days before we left, Thomas texted to confirm his first visit and make sure our travel plans hadn't changed. It was good to be assured that our cats were still on his radar. While we were gone, Thomas visited every day to feed and play with our cats, as well as scoop their litter boxes (daily) and water plants (per our instructions). He played with the cats more diligently than we probably do, and emailed us pictures of each day's adventures. He also left daily notes about what he'd done, what the cats were up to, etc. He even brought a few tried-and-true toys to supplement the toys we'd left. It was heartwarming to see photos of our kitties from thousands of miles away, and we were comforted to know that somebody was paying real attention to them. The day of our return, Thomas texted to make sure we were still on schedule. The plan was that if we didn't confirm that we were home, Thomas would keep visiting so that our kitties would be cared for. It made us feel good to know that if our flight was delayed--or cancelled--he would keep on taking care of the cats. We will absolutely use Pet Sitters by the Bay again when we travel. Peace of mind for a very reasonable price!
Thomas is such a wonderful pet sitter. He really took excellent care of our senior poodle, who takes medications night and day and is a picky eater as well. Thomas went out of his way to make sure she ate her food and was more than willing to carry her down the flights of stairs from our apartment because she has a weak leg. He sent us many updates during our trip so we know she was well cared for, and was very easily reached and attentive. We will absolutely be using Thomas again when we travel, and would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a quality pet sitter!
We feel very fortunate to have found Thomas!!! While we were out of town, Thomas sent us an email with photos of our cat during each visit. Our apartment was immaculate when we returned home (wow!!!). It was obvious Bernadette had been extremely well taken care of (her toys were even in her favorite places). What a huge relief to be able to go away and know that Thomas will be our pet sitter and look after our little girl and our apartment!!! Thank you very much Thomas!!!!
Just used Pet Sitters by the Bay to care for my four cats over several days and couldn't be more pleased by the service provided by Thomas! Making the arrangements was easy and the paperwork I had to fill out was straightforward and not hard since it was my chance to talk about my cats and their preferences. I was also very impressed by the professionalism of Thomas in having back up plans in case of emergencies. I also really enjoyed getting photos of my cats emailed to me while I was away, and also showed me Thomas' amazing skill in easily handing my cat's various personalities (and idiosyncrasies). I highly recommend Pet Sitters by the Bay to anyone looking for quality pet care at affordable prices!
Thomas was amazing. Our cat couldn't have had better care and we suspect misses Thomas' morning visits! His daily reports and photos were a lovely treat each day of our trip. Highly recommended.
Thomas was very professional and friendly, and did a great job with my cat. He met me for an initial consultation to get to know my pets and fill out paperwork, and my two animals -- even my shy dog who is afraid of everyone -- immediately took to Thomas. The day before my cat sitting appointment, Thomas sent me a confirmation email, and while he was at my place, he did everything we agreed on and even vacuumed around the litter box. He left a cat calendar for me to keep, and emailed me to make sure I was back home and my cat was doing okay. I definitely recommend Pet Sitters by the Bay!
Thomas was very professional and took wonderful care of our pets! We have a cat and a dwarf rabbit. Thomas came over to feed them, play with them and do some maintenance cleanup every day while we were away (for 8 days). During that time, he sent us 3 email updates with pictures of our critters, so we had no worries during our trip. When we returned home, there were detailed notes about what went on during each of his visits (plus some new catnip toys for our kitty!). He also brought in our mail every day - no extra charge. Thomas was great and we would recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter! We'll definitely be using his services during our next vacation.
