Rose
Rose and mark were fantastic. Very professional and caring sitters. I never felt that I needed to worry about anything. They left my home in the condition as if they had never been there. I, absolutely couldn't have been more impressed and pleased.

Annie
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.

Jordan
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
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!

Everything was great even though they were here for some unfortunate circumstances (hurricane and extended power outage). Sent frequent updates and our cat seemed to like them.

Hannah
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
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
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
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!

Courtenay
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
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
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.

Nicole
This was our first time using a pet or house sitter and the bar set by Leslie is very high! She is warm, friendly, communicative, responsible and very clean. Upon arriving, she immediately bonded with our rat terrier, Oreo, by bringing him a new frisbee (his favorite toy/activity) and throwing it for him in our backyard. Leslie has a sweet and mellow dog, Benny, who is now Oreo's new buddy! She kept my husband and I updated via texts/pictures of their daily activities, our house, and was proactive in asking questions before she left. She even dropped our dog off at the kennel for one night at the end of our trip since our flight was too late for us to get home for him! Our home was clean and had fresh flowers from our garden that she put in vases for us! Such a simple and nice touch! We have asked Leslie to come back to sit for us again for 2 weeks in August. I'd highly recommend her to take care of your pet(s) and home too!
Craig
Samantha and Scott are great sitters and we enjoyed hearing from them a couple of times while we were away. Our pets were very relaxed and happy too! Very happy to recommend them.
Robert & Rebecca
Angela did a great job caring for Willie for 10 days while we were out of town. She was easy to communicate with and kept us informed about Willie, along with sending photos of him out on walks and at the beach. Angela was very accomodating when we needed to come home a day early - Thank you! The house was left in good shape and it's clear that Angela is organized and reliable and clearly loves her pet charges. I'd recommend Angela and will definitely include her as one of our top sitter choices in the future! Thanks again, Angela!
Ann
This was the 3rd time that Jill sat for us. That says it all but please read our previous reviews. They all stand and Jill is one of the best and most reliable and loving pet sitters we’ve ever had. If you have a chance to have her in your home and caring for your pets, you will be absolutely delighted. We love her.
Ericka
Leah was an excellent pet sitter and take care of our home when we were on vacation. Our dogs were sad when she left. She even made us some delicious tacos when we got home from the airport! We highly recommend her!
Chris
Great pet care. The house was clean and tidy. The sitters had great communication. Would recommend again!
Nancy
Not only did our pets enjoy meeting Kelly and Christopher, my husband and I enjoyed meeting them as well! They are personable and kind, organized and communicative, and most of all excellent pet sitters. Kelly and Chris are attentive housesitters. They went out of their way to connect with our dogs, especially Smitty, our rescue. The dogs were walked, brushed, and played with throughout the weeklong sit. They sent pics of how our fur babies were doing and truly seemed to enjoy their time with them. The peace of mind that comes with great house sitters who care for your precious pups and the home you love is priceless. Thank you once again, Kelly and Christopher! We hope to see you again!
Jenny
We've had many pet sitters over the years (this is our first time using this app) and Missy is the best sitter we've ever had for our dog and cats. Our pets, particularly our dog, adored her and was really sad to see her go. It is obvious she loves animals and immediately understood the pack dynamics and the pet personalities. She kept the house tidy, litter box clean, and the animals so well loved. Because she was traveling from far away, she stayed with us the night before our trip and the night we came back. It was a pleasure to get to know her. We would welcome her back to our house as a friend or a sitter anytime. Highly recommend!
Lynn
We were so happy to have Kyle as our house sitter for two weeks. Besides taking great care of our pets and our house, he was very accommodating. We were always able to get in touch with him if we needed to, and he agreed to take on some extra plant watering’s when the weather made a sudden change. As a bonus, he is very likable and communicative. We would definitely have him come again.
Cheryl
Milly was a lovely house sitter and I’d highly recommend her. She submitted a really great application and after a FaceTime chat it was an easy decision to choose her for our sit. She is the youngest sitter we’ve chosen but she has a maturity beyond her years and it was clear she had so much experience with animals that we felt confident leaving her in charge of our menagerie. Olive our young Pom has never been left with a sitter before so we were a little worried about how she would be but Milly was so patient, gentle and kind that she quickly won Olive over. So much so, on the morning Milly was leaving ,Olive would only let Milly put her harness on her before going for a walk. All the animals were perfectly cared for while we were away and we returned home to happy pets and a tidy house. Milly’s communication from our first contact and right through the sit was great and she even sent a lovely video of the dogs having fun on their walk. I’d have Milly back to housesit for us again anytime.

This place is amazing. My 11 mos old standard poodle loved his first visit and the prices are reasonable. The staff is great with the dogs. Also, we love that we can watch our dog live online all day. We will definitely make the Dog Ranch our dog's permanent day care and boarding moving forward.
Located in lagoon canyon is secret getaway for your pets to have a better than great day at the ranch. The entire grounds are always very neat and clean. The players are very well shaded it's trees resting areas platforms large pool with waterfall surrounded by the deck and entire ground play yard is carpeted with astral turf That's what I like no dirt. We have special care needs for your pets be a therapy massage hair trim or nail trim or just plain cuddly they're here for your pets shuttle service is available, thanks to the owner for developing such a great pet resort & spa
Dog Ranch Bed & Biscuit is a wonderful place to take your dog for day care and overnight stays. They take incredible care of your pup and keep the place immaculate. It is like Disneyland for dogs with wading pools, lounge chairs, spritzers in summer and lots of places to relax and run. It's perfect for young and old dogs. We have taken all of our dogs over the past 18 years to Dog Ranch but our youngest husky Roo is absolutely crazy about this place. He was an abused rescue dog when we got him and the Dog Ranch staff worked hard to slowly introduce him so he felt comfortable. Now when we pick him up, he doesn't want to leave! We also have great confidence in the way the staff takes care of our dog overnight. If your dog needs special care with health issues, they will give them supplements and multiple feedings. We HIGHLY recommend Dog Ranch Bed & Biscuit to everyone!
We are SO GLAD WE FOUND THIS PLACE! We have a super friendly, super playful 80lb pit bull, and we tried several other daycares prior to finding Dog Ranch. Here are the three things that make Dog Ranch stand out from most other daycares: 1. Their facility is mostly outdoors. 2. They offer assistance with routine vet care (for a very reasonable fee they will take your pup to get routine immunizations, etc.) 3. Most importantly, their staff seem to ACTUALLY LIKE AND CARE ABOUT DOGS. The other daycares that we tried for our pup first were indoors, the staff was young and did not seem to particularly like dogs or care about reinforcing good behavior or any other behavioral training…and our pup would come home more wound up then when we dropped him off. Upon further investigation (watching the cameras) we realized that they were just putting our dog in “time out” which was an isolated kennel for the majority of the day, presumably because they didn’t want to deal with his energy level. At Dog Ranch, the staff seem knowledgeable about dog care and handling, and it was very obvious they were taking the time to work with our dog during the day. His behavior actually improved as he spent more time there. Bottom line, if you have a large dog with high energy, this is the place for you. Also, if you have a dog you care about and you want to leave it with other people who will care about it, this is the place for you :) Shout out to the awesome staff, Jose, Vicki, Ashley, Eric, and everyone else!! We <3 you guys!!
We love the dog ranch. I’ve been taking both of my dogs there since they were puppies and they love it there. The staff is amazing and I never have to worry about the kind of care they get after dropping them off. They have plenty of caregivers and it’s great that they offer overnight stays and grooming services as well making it a one stop shop. It’s also great knowing that I can travel without worrying about what to do with my dogs. They know everyone there really well so they don’t feel scared, abandoned or worried while I’m gone. I’d give this place 1,000 stars if I could!
At first you have a good impression of this place because is well located, nicely done and clean. But once an emergency happens with your dog, at a place that you at least hope to be a "safe dog environment", it really changes the picture. During a family trip, our dog suffered a serious "attack". "Attack" because still not clear of what happened but I am having my conclusions based on the veterinary report, provide by the veterinary clinic, which Dog Ranch has a business agreement and I am also a costumer of the same clinic. There was only a call from Dog Ranch, a day after the incident saying our dog felt and hurt his back. We got desperate for the last minute call, because it was a Saturday afternoon and they were closing in few hours. Fortunately, I was able to book a charter and we arrived on Sunday morning. Eric (the facility bouncer) made even more difficult for us to get our dog of that place, because he wouldn't open the door on Sunday for us. Even having staff at the location and of course this was an emergency case. Our dog should also stayed isolated because of risk of infection and because he had a SERIOUS injury. But instead, they kept him running around 30 dogs, a day after his surgery. I would assume this was at least part of their protocol in case something like that happened but apparently not... So on top of all stress, we still had to find a person available to pick our dog in 2 hours and board him overnight. Our friend was able to get our dog on Saturday and stayed safe until we arrived. Dog Ranch took all decisions, did all procedures and released our dog from the vet facility without our consent or authorization. Dog Ranch also "tried" to contact our number right after the incident but they had a "wrong number". Luckily because of a act of God, they find our number and called us a day after all happened. Long story short, we go hit by a vet bill and a bill from the boarding. Bottom line, keep your dog out of this place.
Place is nice. But if you leave them overnight the people that work their leave the dogs no water in their cages for your dog. That's illegal. Someone should investigate them. I would never leave my dog overnight again.
I used to provide IT services to this company, and I can truly say that the staff loves their jobs and the animals. They take great care for the animals and overall I'd recommend the place. Stephanie and her team are amazing!
OMG our dog has such a great time interacting with other dogs....swimming in the pool...and the staff was exceptional!! What a great experience right out the door, will do this at least once a week!
I was extremely impressed with the dog ranch. Very friendly, competent and well organized. My 9 year old German Shepherd loved it.

Kathleen has been taking care of my cats when I travel for a few years now and they absolutely love her! I love that they are being loved and cared for while im gone by someone I can trust and who loves them just as much as I do. She spends time playing with them as well as the feeding and litter necessities and sends a detailed visit summary of how they were and what they did with photos and videos every day. I don't feel like I need to worry about them at all when she is taking care of them.
I am 100% satisfied with Kathleen and The Pet Sitter team! My cats are always content and calm after pet visits. I enjoy receiving detailed reports and photos of my furry family, busily chasing toys and having a good time. Kathleen knows my cats so well, and she will point out anything unusual or let me know if the cats were in a particularly good mood that day. I feel comfortable leaving the cats in the capable hands and care of The Pet Sitter team!
I trust Kathleen and team to walk my energetic pups, and I couldn't be happier with the service provided. She is incredibly professional and clearly loves dogs. Her team took the time to get to know my dog's personality and needs. She is attentive, ensuring my dog has a great time while also being safe and well-behaved. I also appreciate the flexibility with scheduling. She is able to accommodate my requests and is always punctual. Overall, I highly recommend the Pet Sitter to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker.
I have been using The Pet Sitter for years and go away and feel very confident that my pups are well cared for. The follow up with the photos after each visit with all the details about the visit are what I like the best. Kathleen and Barbara both take great care of my Aussies, who I consider to be very high maintenance, very active, very verbal.. lol.. I trust them in my home and with the care of my precious dogs Avalon & Pax.
Kathleen/The Pet Sitter is an absolute blessing! We chose her after observing her with several of our neighbor’s pets. It was apparent how much she truly loves her job. She is thorough and takes the time to get to know your pet and their needs and follows up every walk by sending a text and/or photos. My dog loves her! She is prompt, reliable and flexible. We trust Kathleen and would HIGHLY recommend The Pet Sitter.
Kathleen is a GEM 💎💎 We needed a pet sitter for our 2 large lab puppies and she really gave them the best care! Before we locked in our pet-sitting dates, she came over for a meet n greet, and got to know their routine, their favorite route to take a walk, and took notes about every detail. We received text updates and pics of our boys while we were away, which we really appreciated! You can tell that she puts her heart into her work and cares about the well-being of the pets in her care. We will definitely be using her services again and can’t recommend her enough!! Just look at those happy faces 🥰🥰
We have searched high and low for a qualified, loving doggysitter and Kathleen does NOT disappoint. We’ve gone through difficult times health wise and she hasn’t missed a beat when it comes to our visits. Grabs the mail, walks out pups, fills their water, picks up the poo; you name it. It’s wonderful to have a reliable and loving support system in Kathleen. We are grateful and you will be too! ❤️
Kathleen is amazing and we couldn't ask for a more attentive dog walker for our dog. It takes him awhile to warm up to new people and he immediately accepted her into the pack. She does regular check-ins and we look forward to her updates. Honestly couldn't had asked for a better human being- we feel so lucky to have her in our lives. Dependable, down to earth, kind, caring, passion for animals. Thank you again Kathleen for all your work with Sparky! Already have referred her to other people!
Kathleen is by far our first choice when we need a pet sitter. We have used her service on multiple occasions. During that time, Kathleen has stayed in communication with us on a regular basis, eliminating the stress of leaving the dog, cat, and house behind. One of our favorite parts about Kathleen’s service is receiving the daily videos/pictures along with a nice text of what went on for the day. Kathleen is trustworthy, and our pets love her.
The Pet Sitter came very highly recommended from our apartment complex. Upon meeting Kathleen, we instantly felt comforted that our 2 huskies were in highly capable and caring hands. She asked very detailed questions about the dogs’ routines and behavior…things we don’t think twice about as pet parents since they’re just part of our daily routine. Kathleen went above and beyond in her care for our pups. She played with them, gave them massages, left them with plenty of treats (which made the pups happy!), and made sure they were happy/comfortable as can be. She loved them in our absence and sent us daily photos and check-ins. Honestly, what more could a pet parent ask for? We couldn’t be more appreciative of having Kathleen in our life.

We love Paige and Brad! They have taken loving and gentle care of our Cavachon pup Milo and our Highland Lynx cat Moby for years. Milo loves his walks and adventures with Paige- sometimes I get photos of him in the most picturesque settings ( the beach ! A hike with a view! Sometimes just the neighborhood) and on occasion he gets sleepovers with Paige and Brad. Moby is a stay at home cat but always loves Paige’s visits and playtime. I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants to ensure their pet has the best care in the world.
We love Paige and Pura Vida. She has taken excellent care of our pups for three years, staying at our home while we are away and making sure they are safe and happy. She even knows to send me a picture because I’m missing them. She is been 💯 reliable and I hIghly recommend Pura Vida. …
Pura Vida Pets is the best! Paige takes great care of my cat, Archie, when I’m gone - I love getting cute update pics from her :) Knowing Archie is in good hands and is getting his medicine daily gives me great peace of mind and eliminates some of the stress of being away from home. Highly recommend Pura Vida Pets!
PURA VIDA is the best!! Paige and Brad are the perfect people for this kind of job. They take great care of our doggies, and they are always available to help. Reliable service and great customer service. Highly recommend Pura Vida Pets ♥️🐾 …
Paige LOVES her job and is excellent. She’s been watching my dog for 1 year and am thrilled. She’s flexible, reliable and so very easy to work with!!
