Our fam met with Kayla and Matthew a few days before our 3-day trip and instantly got great vibes as they patiently answered our questions and got familiar with our senior Schnauzer Terrier's routine and med schedule. While away, we received detailed morning, midday and evening updates with photos and videos. We really felt as if Karla's staff had the best interest of our pooch at heart and did not just go through the motions. We will continue to use them whenever the need arises. This is one pet service that will put your mind at ease.

He is reactive so the staff made sure he was well accommodated, giving him his space but also allowing him a place where could still play.

We have boarded dogs with Jeri for over 30 years. My dogs have always loved it there!read more

Can't say enough about Jamie and Burleson Kennels. Our two year old Goldendoodle couldn't go on…read morethis past vacation with us so it was a relief to find a trusted kennel to take care of him. He's a little Foo Foo dog but felt right at home on her property, running around and dipping into the kiddie pools she has for them. They did occasional morning walks before it got too hot too. Jamie is quick to respond and sent us pics to update and let us know how he was doing. I highly recommend her for her obvious love of animals (she has horses, her own dogs, other small animals on the property), her responsiveness, professionalism, and her well run kennel.

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!

We took an 8 day trip back East and normally we would leave our dogs at the kernel at our Vet, but since we've added a bird and puppy recently, we decided to give PetWatch 916 a try.

This review is long overdue. Lori has been walking our weimaraner and pet sitting our 2 cats a…read morelittle over a year now. My family moved to Elk Grove 2 years ago. Before that, my husband and I worked different schedules so we never needed a dog walker. We both took about a year off after moving before heading back into full-time work. When we decided to go back to work and realized we would have the same schedule, we knew we had to find someone to walk our dog Mon-Fri. I called several people, asked a lot of questions and met a few of them. Lori was very patient with all my questions and our dog absolutely loved her. It was important to us to find the right person because our dog started having separation anxiety after our move. She was tearing up her crate, which made us very nervous to leave her. We felt like we were tied to the house all the time and even mounted a camera in the living room so we could check on her when we were out! (We've since retrained her to like her crate again.) Lori started walking our dog once a week and moved to 5 days once my husband and I were both working. During the first few weeks of my new job I continued to check our camera to see how our dog was doing while we were gone. And I have to admit that I did check a few times to see how long Lori was out with our dog. I feel weird about that now, but we didn't know Lori so well yet and she totally could have said she was walking our dog for 45 minutes and only go for 20, and we wouldn't have known. But she never cuts the time short. She always has our dog out for as long as she was scheduled for. Over the past year Lori has been a HUGE asset to our family. I don't believe she's ever cancelled a walk, so she is extremely reliable. She feeds our cats their lunch every day when she comes to take our dog out. When we go on vacation, she boards our dog and visits our cats. She even gave one of our cats medication when he needed it. Lori often sends heart-warming photos of our dog while she's out with her. She keeps our dog safe and comfortable by playing with her inside when the weather is extreme. And I know our dog adores Lori because when I'm home sick I get to see how excited she is when Lori arrives. We rely on Lori so much that I honestly don't know what we would do if we ever lost her. P.S. For those of you who haven't checked out her website yet and are wondering how much she charges... she's very affordable. We do $15 for 45 minutes. I've seen some walkers charge $25 for a 30 minute walk! We are by no means well off, so with how often Lori walks our dog, we really appreciate her fair prices!

The most important thing to Dr. Putt was making sure I was aware of her fees. Then she flaked again. She texted me later to say that she had time at the end of the week or it would have to wait until next month. Of course, I found somebody else to help me. Two weeks later, Dr. Putt texted to ask what I did. I didn't respond - I figured if she had been the slightest bit concerned, she would have showed up to the original two appointments. Now, a month and a half later, Dr. Putt just reported me to Animal Services - because she is now so concerned for the welfare of my goat. What a farce of a veterinarian and ridiculous display of professionalism... Even the sheriffs with the Animal Services thought she was an absolute nut job.
