We struggled for a really long time to find the right groomer for our Goldendoodle, Pearl. After…read moretrying five different groomers, we met Julie in April 2026, and she has truly been a game changer for us. I knew from our very first appointment that Julie was different. I told her I wanted a "summer cut," and instead of just assuming she knew what I meant, she immediately asked, "What is a summer cut to you? Because to me, that could mean something completely different." That one question said so much about the way Julie approaches her work. At every appointment, she genuinely listens to what we're looking for and offers suggestions that always seem to perfectly align with what we're trying to achieve. She pays attention to the little details and takes getting it right seriously. She'll even have the front call during the groom if she comes across an area where she wants to double-check how we'd like it cut rather than just making an assumption. That level of care and communication is something we had never experienced with another groomer. But what means the most to me is the way Julie is with Pearl. Pearl is a Goldendoodle with a lot of emotions, and grooming has never exactly been her favorite activity. Before Julie, I could immediately tell when I picked Pearl up that she had been absolutely miserable. Now, when I pick her up after seeing Julie, she's bouncing around, happy, and genuinely seems at ease. The difference in her demeanor is incredible, and as her owner, that means everything to me. After searching for so long, I can't say enough good things about Julie. She listens, communicates, pays attention to every detail, and most importantly, has earned Pearl's trust. We are so grateful we finally found her!

I occasionally add on a nail trim which is super convenient.

I go to work before they open, and I get off work after the pick up time.

Drew has been such an amazing cat caregiver for my crew of fuzzballs for the past several years…read morethat I've decided I can never move out of the area. If you're looking for someone with a genuine love of and connection to cats, who is very experienced with cat behavior and health issues, and who is supremely trustworthy and reliable - look no further than Drew. Before I met Drew I spent so much time on Yelp contacting other pet sitters in the area and they all seemed like they were mostly dog-oriented and just tolerated cats and would be only dropping by to make sure my cats were alive. Then I contacted Drew and I knew right away she was special - she actually adores cats and her primary concern is getting to know your cats' individual needs and quirks and providing the best comprehensive care possible while putting your mind at ease with daily checks-ins and photos. (She also owns a photography business and you can hire her for an epic pet photo session!) Drew regularly takes care of my guys, whether I'm busy for one day or away for a longer trip. Under anyone else's care, I'd worry about their individual dietary and behavioral needs - I have a picky older cat with anxiety and urinary issues, a goofy black cat with a sensitive tummy and a history of eating inedible objects and getting the occasional ear infection, and a young, spunky one-eyed cat who once had an injured leg. Not only has Drew gotten to know each of their personalities and connected with them like they're her own pets (they greet her at the door), she has expertly attended to their occasional extra needs and has on multiple occasions taken the time to talk me through my concerns about their issues. In addition to being a cat owner herself, Drew has experience working at clinics and rescues and volunteers her time at a cat sanctuary so I thoroughly trust her input and consider her a valued care companion and part of our pet family. My cats (and I) absolutely adore Drew and there's just no better feeling when you're away than total peace of mind that your fur family is receiving the best possible care. 5 stars, 10/10. Thank you, Drew!

First off I regret not leaving a first review when Genaro first did my dog's, stitch, haircut. He…read morelooks amazing and I honestly love how well he did with my dog. I've never gotten stitch back from his haircut and not have to treat cuts and razor burns. Genaro was the first person to give me what I asked for and managed not to cut stitch or give him razor burns. So thank you so much! Second, I had an emergency fumigation done at my home and had to be out of the house for about 4-5hrs including pets. Luckily I would be able to be at work but having to find my dog and 2 cats a sitter was nearly impossible until I asked Genaro. He was willing to take them for the day while my husband and I where at work and saved us from having to have one of us call out from work and drive around with them in a car all day. Such an exceptional experience that I'd definitely be going back and recommending to everyone. Price wise, he's affordable. Doesn't break the bank and he definitely offers way more than what you pay for, and for the better too! If you ever question about taking your dog or cats anywhere this is the place to take them! You will love your experience and more.

My grandmother had fallen very ill, very quickly and we needed to rehome her two sheep-doodles. Sadly (unbeknownst to us due to her illness) the pups were not being cared for properly... they were matted, dry skin, potty stuck to their fur... we needed same day help because these poor dogs couldn't live this way. The crew at Buster's DELIVERED!!!! By the time they were done my grandmothers dogs were unrecognizable in the best way. You can trust this company, they will do right by you! I cannot thank them enough... Bring your babies here!!! You won't regret it.

Beware of Buster's. My dog used to go there and we were…read morehappy until a very angry employee started lashing out, calling her own dog "fucking retarded," put my dog on a slip leash on which he choked because she couldn't get his "fucking retarded" harness on. Furthermore, there are no windows or video screens to see the play yard or dog facility, so you can't see what's going on back there. If angry woman behaves like that in front of customers, how does she behave behind closed doors? BIG RED FLAG. I sent a very long email to the manager expressing my concerns, especially regarding angry employee who choked my dog; the manager said he was aware of the situation, and in so many words, considers it tolerable. I told manager we wouldn't be back under those circumstances and he said he understood (but wouldn't do anything about it.) Daycare facilities like Dogtopia have video on at all times and a screen in lobby so you can see what's going on with your dog, and you can see what inside of facility looks like as well. And you can download their app to watch remotely, assuring your dog is safe, facility is clean and acceptable, and staff is behaving appropriately and professionally. I wish the management at Busters would take my concerns seriously and make necessary improvements and let go of staff who have anger management issues and don't behave professionally. I'd be happy to bring my dog back to Busters if necessary changes were made.

She is incredibly caring, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and genuinely loves the dogs in her care. We never have to worry because we know our babies are safe, loved, and being treated like family. The peace of mind she gives us is something we are so grateful for. We honestly wouldn't trust our babies with anyone else.

I'm sorry it took me a while to write this review. I worked…read morewith Dr. Barragan the nutritionist because my dog Bianca had stage 3 CKD and basically refused to eat her prescribed Hills etc diet so we turned to homemade food. Dr. Barragan was a delight to work with and we really appreciated how flexible and caring she was for all her diet plans for Bianca. She was so thoughtful and helped us make sure Bianca could get as much nutrition as she could, without making us feel bad if Bianca didnt finish her food. For an extremely picky eater, Bianca liked the novelty of the food ideas and I highly recommend coming to foothill for basic check ups as well! The staff and vets are all very professional. Unfortunately Bianca passed last June from complications not directly related to her CKD. But i'm always grateful for all the help that Foothill provided

We recently booked with Lucky Buddy Petcare for a vacation and am glad we gave them a chance!…read more We first met the owner Janet and loved her vibe. My main concern was our dogs not being comfortable with the rotation of different pet sitters, so I expressed that concern with Janet and figured out a plan to prepare our dogs. We ended up booking walks for our dogs to meet with the different sitters they may encounter during our vacation. Each walker/sitter we met was equally friendly and our three German shepherds had no issue with either one of them. We received reports after each visit, which we appreciated. What I do appreciate most about Lucky Buddy Petcare is that we're not dependent on one person's schedule while planning. The booking process is super easy through their website. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a pet sitting company!

When you're talking about a place with a bunch of dogs and humans interacting, there is always going to be an incident or two but the staff handle it very well and are always extremely communicative. I can tell you after dozens and dozens of visits, this place is solid.

I set my house up so that THEY are happy and comfortable. I have a low bed,, doggie ramps everywhere and there are dog toys all over. I would say that they are a little spoiled I only trust a few people with my dogs. I recently moved to Fair Oaks. I searched online for pet sitting and called Vicky, the owner of Bow-Wow pet sitting and boarding. I asked many questions. I then looked at her reviews on Yelp and decided that I would give her a call back. She was able to take my dogs the next day. She was so great! My dogs were barking and have separation anxiety. I immediately felt comfortable with Vicky. She is very kind and obviously loves animals. Her house is set up perfectly - she can separate dogs if necessary but still see them, they are not locked away in a closed room. She had a big wonderful yard to play in. When I picked up my boys they were happy and not stressed. Now they WANT to go there! Even though I'm done moving I intend to to take them to Vicky's at least once a week because they love her and I don't take them in the car and leave them when running errands. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND VICKY AND BOW -WOW PET SITTING!!! She is reasonably priced and very accommodating. ******************!!!!
