First time using Barkhaus and all I can say it that I had a great experience with them. Z and the team took care of my cat for 9 days and did an excellent job. I really appreciated the regular updates. they kept me informed with messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Not only was my cat well cared for and happy, but I also came home to a clean and well maintained house. It's like no one even stepped foot in our house. It's clear they are both responsible and attentive. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, and I would happily book them again in the future. :) Thank you very much, Barkhaus!!! read more

it was hard to convince my husband to use a service for our dog. But Zenia quickly showed she was perfect. She is dependable, but also flexible. She adjusts to the needs of the dog. Our dog likes a routine and Zenia was able to read her wishes. She closely watches and picks up on clues. Zenia also followed instructions without judgment. Everyday we had videos and pictures while we were gone, reassuring us that Zenia understood what our dog needed and that our dog was happy. She worked well with our anxious big dog and her nervous parents. read more

Working with Barkhaus has been great; we're currently fostering a blind frenchie and they've always been so responsive and helpful. Kai and Kelsee have been taking care of her and are so attentive to her special needs. She loves both of them and they've been awesome about sending plenty of photos and videos when they're here. Thank you for taking such great care of and being so kind to our little dog! read more

Stars cannot begin to describe the quality of Barkhaus Petsitters! I cannot recommend Barkhaus Petsitters enough! From the moment we reached out to them, they were incredibly professional and attentive. Our cat, Charlie, can be a bit anxious sometimes, but they made him feel so comfortable and right at home. They sent daily updates with pictures and videos, which helped us feel at ease while we were away. It was clear they genuinely care about animals, and Charlie absolutely adored them! What really sets them apart is their team's animal healthcare experience -- we felt completely confident leaving Charlie in their care knowing they had the knowledge and skills to handle any situation. The communication was excellent, and we really appreciated how they took the time to understand his routine and needs. We came home to a happy, relaxed kitty, and we could tell that Charlie had received tons of love and attention. If you're looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet-sitting service, BOOK BARKHAUS PETSITTERS! We will definitely be using them again for all of our pet-sitting needs! Thanks guys ::)! read more

Zenia did a two night overnight stay while my wife and I had a weekend getaway. She was simply amazing! Great communicator, detail oriented, and very trustworthy. Zenia provided constant pictures and videos throughout our weekend escape which really brought us a peace of mind. She did such an amazing job mimicking our daily routine with our fur baby from walks, feeding regiment, and sleep. Benji is looking forward to more slumber parties with Zenia! read more

I did use Barkhaus about a year ago and they were super helpful. I cannot recall the ladies name that assisted with me, but she was so sweet to my doggies and sent pictures will definitely use them if needed again and definitely recommend them. read more

Z and her team were very professional and thorough. They took care of my 2 cats while we were gone for 9 days. Before the initial meeting I was nervous because I have never left my cats before and after I met with them I felt very good about my decision to use their services. I received daily updates with photos and videos of my cats along with updates on litter box cleanings and refreshing water. They took out my trash and made sure that all was good when we returned. The love and care that each team members has for animals is evident and I would recommend them to anyone! We will be using them again. Thank you for giving me peace of mind read more

Just recently used Barkhaus petsitters when we went on a 6 day vacation. I am very pleased to say I was extremely happy with everything about their service! Silvia was amazing with our dogs! She stayed at our house and communicated nonstop! I especially appreciate the love and patience she showed our pups! Thank you again. We will definitely call on Brakhaus in the future! read more

I had a wonderful experience with Kelsee. She came for a 30 minute drop in visit to play with my blind foster dog, while I had to go into work for a few hours. She sent multiple pictures throughout the visit and was very communicative with me prior to, during, and after the visit. I'll definitely be using Barkhaus for any future visits. read more

Barkhaus Petsitters were very patient and accommodating and helped me out of a bind when I had accidentally requested the wrong boarding start date. They were flexible and kind, and prompt and communicative. My dog was watched lovingly by Elizabeth for 4 days and I got constant picture and video updates; she was clearly very well taken care of. I really appreciated their thoroughness and dedication. read more

We were lucky enough to find Zenia and Barkhaus just before a trip and the reviews and recommendations don't begin to do her justice. She took care of both dogs and was very detailed in their care and handling all their special requirements. Great communication and frequent pictures helped us enjoy our trip. Definitely will be relying on Zenia in the future. read more

Barkhaus with Zenia and her team are the best pet sitters I have ever used. I have three dogs, one of which is reactive at the door, and Zenia worked with me to make sure that every interaction was positive for all. Her staff is also fantastic! They are very communicative, has great interaction with my dogs, and shares photos and videos of each visit. I'm so glad I found them and I'll definitely be using them again. read more

If I could do more than 5 stars I would love to. Z, Helen and staff did fantastic these last few months. We moved here in June and a neighbor recommended Barkhaus. We traveled a lot and our cat Freddy was very well loved. Unfortunately our Freddy crossed the Rainbow bridge yesterday but very happy knowing that he was very well loved in their care. They were all so sweet with kind words after his passing and all of them will be missed. read more

We always knew the heroes at Barkhaus were willing to go above and beyond, but when our beloved Fili had a medical emergency they were there to help us through it in every way they possibly could! The moment they heard what happened, they called us and squeezed some medication sessions into the tightest of schedules. Through it all they treated us and Fili with the utmost care and compassion. We can't sing their praises enough. It's also a relief to know we can leave our cats at home when we travel instead of stressing them out with a trip to boarding. The videos and pics they send us every session allow us to see how happy our cats always are to see them. Their updates are a highlight of every day when we're away from home. We love being able to enjoy our vacation without worrying whether our cats are safe, and we come home to lots of happy quiver tails instead of the weird 'how dare u' vibes the cats used to treat us to the first couple of days after trips. Thank you, ladies, from the bottoms of all of our hearts. Fili, Kili, and Winifred are your biggest fans read more

Excellent care for our pup! We had Zenia and Elizabeth form our service team. They are very thorough and thoughtful in taking care of our dog. We had a last minute request to walk and play with our dog for a couple of day trips. They not only for us in the schedule but kept us completely up to date as to their arrival, care and departure. We highly recommend Barkhaus! read more

My husband and I went away this past holiday weekend and used the Bark Haus team to help us with watching our 2 dogs. They were PHENOMENAL! They communicated with us the entire time we were away by text and sent us pictures and updates and just kept us apprised with how our doggies were doing. I am so thankful I booked with Bark Haus. My boys were in the best care and that makes vacationing even better knowing they're being so well cared for. 10/10 recommend!! read more

This was my first time booking a pet sitting service for my 10 year old cat Zero and Barkhaus was everything I was hoping for and went above and beyond! They are all so kind and you can tell they really care about all animals. Whenever my husband and I would go on vacation previously, I would take Zero to cat only boarding places, which were great with him but he would always get really nervous and I could tell he didn't like being away from his familiar space. Since this was our first booking with Barkhaus, Zenia and Alyssa came over before the actual dates to meet Zero and so we could walk them through all the areas of the house and his routine. They were both so friendly and personable, I got good vibes from them right away. They answered all our questions and I felt very comfortable leaving Zero in their care. Alyssa was the one who came over daily to take care of Zero and she would send photos, videos and updates while she was with him. I was so surprised that Zero took to her right away since he can be pretty skittish around new people but it just goes to show how great Alyssa was with him. I will definitely be using Barkhaus again for any future trips! They are everything you could hope for when you need someone to look after your pets. HIGHLY Recommend!!! read more

I booked with Zenia for an international trip in November. She stayed at my house in Huntington Beach and took excellent care of my 9 year old spaniel. I appreciated that she took the time to meet with me beforehand, and take notes on what my dog's needs are. During the trip she was great with communication, sending me multiple videos and photos a day on WhatsApp. I already booked again for Christmas! read more

When you hire a dogsitter, the first thing you think of is making sure your dog is happy and well cared-for. For me, the second thing to consider is, will this person keep my home safe? With Barkhaus you get the absolute best of both worlds. You get animal-loving people who absolutely love and pamper your pet. But you also get professionals who are trustworthy, responsible home-sitters who can take care of complicated situations when they come up as well. When we were out of the country last month we had an unexpected death in the family back home. We were basically unreachable to most everyone except for Barkhaus, who had ways to contact us. Zenia assessed the situation (our home phone blowing up with frantic messages) and basically acted as liaison between us thousands of miles away, family members, and various agencies we had to contact, until we could get things settled and calmed down and establish contact with people back home. All of this while sending us the cutest, most joyful videos of our dog, clearly incredibly happy and content and playful with Zenia and her staff. If you are looking for a responsible and loving arrangement that will not only keep your home and pet safe, but HAPPY, look no further and book Barkhaus as fast as you can. Barkhaus is just on a totally different level of excellence and professionalism. If you are hesitating, just stop and make the call. You will be so glad you did. read more

Barkhaus made our Christmas vacation possible! This is our 2nd time using them, and just as impressed as the 1st time. One of our little ones had surgery one week before and they were still willing to watch her even though she needed much more care. They are always very punctual and keep in constant communication. Will highly recommend their team and trust them fully! read more

The whole team at Barkhaus are fantastic and I highly recommend their services. We have four resident cats, plus a foster kitten and even a feral kitty who has become part of our family. They were all loved and cared for during our week-long vacation with consistent visits that included feeding everyone, refreshing water bowls, and three litter boxes that were cleaned. They even swept and vacuumed. Daily updates with pics and videos were sent to us and we couldn't be happier with the quality of care. Thanks Barkhaus Team! read more

We are so blessed and thankful that we found Barhaus Petsitters. We were looking for pet sitting services about 4 months before our trip, and we were getting nervous because we couldn't find a perfect match. Our pets are our furry babies, and leaving them was hard on my husband and myself; specially because Bailey is strong willed and not too friendly with other dogs that do not belong to his household. And we needed someone who could manhandle him well. Also we have a special needs dog who was rescued blind from the Downy shelter, in the middle of our trip, she got sick from her stomach and Barkhause Petsitters took her to our vet and all worked wonderful. They kept us updated on how she was doing, they gave her the medication, they were just wonderful. They treated our pets, with the same care and love I will give them. They send us videos and photos daily, so we were in constant communication. When we returned home, our pets were happy, clean, and well taken care of. If you are looking for a reliable, honest, responsible, friendly, pet sitting service, Barkhause is 100 % recommended. There is not a better pet sitting service than them. Thank you so much Barkhause (Zenia, Hellen, Alyssa and Elizabeth). . read more

I'm not one to write reviews so know this has more meaning because of that!! I used Barkhaus pet sitters a few weeks ago. Zenia, the owner, was extremely friendly, down to earth, very communicative and went above and beyond taking care of my two fur babies! I got text messages, pictures, videos and she even administered ear meds. She followed our instructions to a T and we couldn't be happier. Shes very trustworthy and Our dogs loved her and were extremely happy!! She's very knowledgeable, detailed and all around a great dog sitter!! read more

I feel so blessed to have found Zenia and her team, Alyssa and Gray! They are all so caring and knowledgeable about your pets, we have a 3 year old Labrador Retriever named Sydney and they love and care about her so much! I never have to worry about dog walks or most recently an overnight with Gray. They keep you updated through the dog walk and house sitting so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. We have never left Sydney for an overnight aside of family and Gray showed her so much care, love and attention you would hope for when leaving your fur babies ! Thank you Z, Alyssa and Gray! So happy we found you ! read more

Barkhaus Petsitters - one of many photos Barkhaus sent as they took care of my pets. - Pet Sitting Near Me

This review is long overdue - I don't have enough words to adequately describe how grateful and appreciative my partner and I are for Barkhaus, especially Alyssa and Zenia. Our fur baby is the most precious member of our family and before hiring them, we could only trust members of our own family to watch our anxious pup while we were away. Enter Barkhaus. From the moment we inquired to the many visits Alyssa has made to our home, our experience has surpassed all expectations. We've used them many times throughout the past year for both AM/PM visits and we are always so appreciative of the quick communication and photo/video updates, providing us invaluable peace of mind. Alyssa is so so sweet with our pup, and she is always so excited when Alyssa comes to visit - and that says SO much, as receiving our pup's love is rare and highly selective (haha). Alyssa goes above and beyond the basics, quickly adapting to circumstances and showering our baby with so much love and care, ultimately creating an environment where she feels comfortable and secure. Trust is paramount when it comes to leaving our beloved pets in someone else's hands, especially when they visit your home when you're not around, and we feel so lucky to have found Barkhaus. We almost wanted to gatekeep how incredible they are because we selfishly want to have Alyssa and Barkhaus all to ourselves, but alas, we must give credit where it's due and they deserve all of it and more! I wholeheartedly recommend Barkhaus for your petsitting needs. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Alyssa and team!! read more

I highly recommend Zenia at Barhaus! I needed a petsitter for a weekend & after reading so many stellar reviews I reached out. Zenia met me at my home & took a very thorough intake survey & interacted with my pup. I could see right away that she had a lot of experience & ease with dogs & my pup loved her immediately. We left on our trip & received several photos & videos each day. We knew our pup was in good hands & that gave us peace of mind. We came back to a happy relaxed puppy & everything was great. I will definitely use Barkhaus again! Kate L. read more

We absolutely LOVE Elizabeth, Alyssa and Zenia! They watched our two fur babies for 3 nights while we my wife and I were out of town for our anniversary. We are very cautious and careful who we let in our house and watch our dogs, let alone be in our house while we're not home. I have to admit, we're we're a little hesitate, these people were strangers, but soon as we met them for the "meet and greet" we instantly felt at ease! All three ladies were friendly, courteous and seem like they love what they do. They were EXTREMELY thorough with ensuring they had every detail covered with feeding times, food quantity, medication, when to let them out, the "do's and don'ts", etc. I don't think there was anything we felt they didn't cover or ask questions about. Most of all, our dogs were very calm and happy around them. That's our #1 indicator. If my dogs don't like you, neither do I! While we were on vacation, we received numerous, and I mean numerous, pics, videos and updates. If they left the house for any reason, we got a call or text. We were always updated. It may sound annoying but it wasn't! The messages were always short, sweet and to the point. We were very impressed with how consistent they were with giving us updates and we loved seeing photos of our doggies. When we got home, the house looked just as good as when we left and our dogs were happy. I highly recommend and trust Barkhaus. We will DEFINITELY be reaching out to them again soon to watch our babies. read more

I recently used Barkhaus Petsitters for the first time. Zenia is AWESOME. Reliable, professional and overall wonderful. I am not one to leave my fur babies with someone who wasn't family but she made me feel comfortable right from the start. I received daily updates and photos so I knew my cat was doing fine. I highly recommend her if you need a pet sitter you won't be disappointed. I will be using her again. read more

The ladies of Barkhaus Petsitters are amazing! Helen came in so patient and our Hallie warmed up and they became best friends!!!

I have nothing but good things to say about Barkhaus Petsitters. They are extremely professional, thorough, and their constant communication ensures that there are no hiccups when you're gone on vacation. The staff members are all sweet and you can tell they really care about animals. They send pictures and videos of your pets everyday to keep your mind at ease. The staff are experienced with all different kinds of animals and they keep your pets happy while you're gone. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for a pet sitter. read more

My wife and I had to be away for a couple of nights and needed to find someone to take care of Belle, our 6-year old Golden Retriever/Wheaton mix. Belle had never been boarded or away from us for even a night. Barkhaus Petsitters was wonderful. Zenia and Helen first arranged for a "meet & greet" to get to know Belle, who has always been a bit nervous around strangers. Everyone became best friends in just a few minutes. Both Zenia and Helen are former Veterinarian Technicians. They have over 10-years of experience. It's clear that they love dogs and love what they do. FIVE STARS PLUS! read more

They are the best best best dog walker/nanny I have ever used. Helen and Z came to our home first before our trip to understand our needs and get familiar with our babies. They remembered every tiny detail I told them. Every time they came to our house, they always gave us a heads up. They will clean our dog room, wash dog bowls, fill with clean water and food, walk our babies and then change their diapers. They will send me pictures of our babies every time they come and keep track of how much my dogs eat. They are super super professional and very easy to communicate. Most important of all, they are very reasonably priced. I am very glad I can find them on Yelp. I highly recommend them!!!! read more

They were nothing short of amazing! Took care of my baby and kept us updated throughout EVERYTHING. When they were on the way, walked through the door, and were leaving. I got plenty of pictures and videos as well! They even ended up staying a little longer to give my baby some extra cuddles. Would/have recommended them to everyone! read more

1-year update! After a whole year of visits (about 6 or 7 total, whenever we do a little traveling), our youngest, most apprehensive cat finally decided that he can be friends with Helen and Z! They've both been consistently working on warming him up over the year and this is a HUGE accomplishment! This is the first time that he's ever let someone pet him without us around. Helen and Z's pet (and people) skills are priceless! The trust they build with people and pets is incredible It's SO much easier to leave our pets knowing that they'll be well cared for while we're gone. *********************** (Original review - Dec 2018) 5 stars isn't enough! This business deserves 10 stars or more! We moved to the area about 5 months ago and were nervous to leave our cats for the first time. After checking Yelp and reading reviews, I decided to contact Barkhaus first. To my surprise, I got a response extremely quickly and we set up a time to chat. I spoke with Z and she was very thorough with information and immediately made me feel at ease! After the Meet & Greet with Helen & Z, my husband (who is a pretty skeptical guy) asked me to see if they could accommodate an additional short trip at the end of the month, so he was also put at ease and felt comfortable with them, too! I cannot say enough great things about these ladies! They are professional, friendly, knowledgeable and they love animals! I continue to be impressed with their communication skills - they really try to respond quickly (even when they're super busy!) and during the visits, they send pictures and videos and updates and cleaned up the cat puke (thanks again for that, Z!) ;) Knowing they are taking care of our furry babies keeps us free from worry when we're away and allows us to have more fun on our vacations. Plus, our cats feel comfortable and safe around them and come down to greet them when they arrive! THANK YOU Helen & Z for Barkhaus and for all you ladies do to care for pets!! Seriously, you guys are the BEST!!!! read more
