Kenneling would have been even worse for her. Amanda came and stayed with Keisle 7pm to 7am. Amanda was so sweet and patient with our girl and they became quick friends. She sent us pictures and videos and let us know how she was doing every day. Highly recommend them & will use them again! THANK YOU KARA

My elderly dog had her own large kennel space, with her bed from home, and outside access thru a doggie door to her own outside space.

First thing she told me was to leave something of mine for her to smell and be reassured with, next she brought her a big bucket of water and I immediately knew my pup was at a good place. Thank you for all your help. I would recommend this place to anyone.

She has trained both our dogs. We have a 14 year old German sheperd, and a 5 month old Australian sheperd mix that we rescued recently. From the moment they each met Julie, our lives together has become much more enjoyable. She has had a great impact on our family, and we all love her. We appreciate the help, genuine care, energy, and effort that she has put towards training our dogs. I highly recommand her to anyone in search of a fantastic, caring, and knowledgeable dog trainer.

I have to admit I was hesitant taking my 10 year old shepherd mix, Giovanni, to stay here during a…read moreheat wave (104° and up). The kennels are all outdoors and my dog doesn't spend much time outdoors unless we're going on walks, in the pool, or just hanging out in the grass - AKA he's a spoiled indoor dog. Here's the details on Gio's visit: He was placed in a large kennel - divided into two sections: Section 1 has cement and is fully shaded. Section 2 is dirt and without shade. I believe they also have misters, but I couldn't see from where I was standing. Food: You can opt to have your pet fed the food that is provided or bring your own. I opted to bring Gio's food, divided in individual breakfast and dinner baggies (this is Cowen's policy). Gio also takes 2 medications a day - they had no problem administering his meds. Extras: Gio being the spoiled pup he is, I opted to have him exercised and given ice cream during his stay. Maybe it was mom guilt for leaving him in the burning heat for 2 days, but I'm sure he enjoyed it. (There is an additional charge for this) His 2 night/ 3 day stay totaled $55. Gio came back happy and healthy. They even provide you with a cute report card (see attached photo) for how your pet did. A+ camper for G! Will be taking here again in the future.

Rather than if he were locked up he'd be hyper and all over the place.

Tl;dr: Do not use this company if you have a pet with medical issues that needs medication. Hit or…read moremiss with individual sitters and you have no choice or control over who they send over. I will never use them again after my TERRIBLE experience. Initially used this service for a short business trip with success so tried again for a longer trip to see family between Christmas and NYE. The company sent a sitter I had never met who incorrectly used the pill injector on my sick, elderly cat and forced her to swallow the over inch-long applicator tip. Resulted in $3,000 emergency vet surgery to remove that I had to manage from out of town. So deeply stressful for me but mainly my poor elderly asthmatic cat!! They handled it but SO unnecessary and only happened bc of their bizarre business model where they pick whichever of their employees are available, not someone who knows your house/pet. So if you get one who knows what they're doing you don't necessarily get them again - it's totally random from the customer's perspective. Instead of enjoying my family I had to spend the time managing the emergency they created from afar, stressed and fuming that I trusted this company to send someone competent to care for my sweet older cat. After the first disastrous pill delivery issue they sent the **same person** again a day later who clearly doesn't know how to give a cat medication and she, again, incorrectly gave my cat her medication!!! My cat gets ill if she misses just one day, the medication is a high-dose steroid for her asthma. The employee did not know how to give her the pill, but still marked the medication as administered on their form (I only figured out it didn't happen when I read the notes) and instead of giving her the pill rubbed it on her gums -?!? I am FURIOUS for my poor cat and at the incompetence of this employee they continue to use, along with the management that assured me they know how to give cats medication and yet still sent this individual out after it was proved that they cannot give a cat medication effectively. The other employees seemed to be ok but I had no choice over who they sent over, meaning every visit was a gamble. If you need anything beyond the most basic service, avoid avoid avoid!!!

This review update is loooong overdue. We've been customers of Sitters4Paws for over 6 years now…read moreand they're just fantastic!! The sitters care for our fur babies so lovingly - we always travel with such peace of mind knowing our boys are looked after so well. They have an app now which makes communication even easier - they send emails/messages and many photos with every visit. The sitters follow any instructions very well - we used to have an elderly cat that needed medications and they took care of it no problems! Making reservations for visits in their app is so easy and they approve them very quickly or reach out if there are any issues or questions. They get very busy around major holidays but always make sure to give us a heads up before things get full - above and beyond! On our first visit, a manager came out to the house and met our pets and set us up with a very solid lock box for the house key that the sitters use to enter and exit. They check the mail and will water plants if needed too. They always give our boys so much love and treats and make sure they get some play time in every visit. They fill their food bowls, top off the water fountain, scoop the litter, and even sweep up! Great service! Their prices have gone up quite a bit since we first signed up - but what hasn't nowadays? Lol - their prices are comparable to other sitting companies locally and it's worth it for the peace of mind we get - huge ty to all our sitters and to Sitters4Paws for all your love and care!
