Michelle and her team at Coastal Pet Sitters are the very best of the best! Whether our family had made a request six months in advance or six days before, they always had it handled with ease and flexibility. Among their amazing sitters is Madison, who is an exceptional sitter, who our dogs grew very fond of! Her many pictures, videos, and updates truly helped us relax while away. We are moving back to the east coast and will miss working with Michelle and Madison! Thank you for your endless love and care of our pups! read more

I have used Coastal Pet Sitters for over 2 years now to watch my 2 cats and love their service! They are professional, punctual, and have great communication. I highly recommend Camden, who has been amazing with my cats who are a bit difficult. read more

We have used Coastal Pet sitters to watch over our cat and dog on several occasions while we travel. Most recently their in-house pet-sitting for our cat and dog (for a full week) worked out very well. There was great communication while we were away and then upon returning we found everything in good order with the pets to healthy and contented. Highly recommended. read more

I cannot begin to express how much we loved Bri for our 2 dogs. They have a lot of energy and she went above and beyond to make sure they were happy the whole weekend. One of my dogs gets anxious when we leave him overnight, but a whole weekend went by and when we arrived home he acted like he never noticed. That speaks volumes for the love she gave them. If there were a 10 star review, that's what she would get. read more

Ayanna was truly amazing and I can't say enough good things about her ... she took care of our 1 year old Labrador like he was her fur baby, and he loved her so much! She put my family at ease with picture updates through her visit, and went above and beyond for our boy! Thank you Ayanna... you are the best! This company is the real deal read more

Coastal Pet Sitters - Our big boy Boston - Dog Walkers Near Me

We have used Coastal Pet Sitters twice for our little terrier mix who is very shy. The first sitter was great, although no longer sitting. Our second sitter, Jan, was exceptional and lives very close by. She sent us pictures and updates just about every day, which reassured us since we had just moved to the area a week earlier, and our older dog had passed away the morning of our move. Thank you, Coastal and Jan, for helping our little one adjust to her new surroundings and for helping us feel so comfortable leaving her in your more than capable hands! read more

We finally found an amazing and trustworthy pet sitter for visits and overnights. Michelle, thank you. And Kendra you're the best! We can now leave for trips with a peace of mind. read more

We love this pet sitting group! We have used them many times now to take home care of our two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Jack and Poppy Margo, while we are traveling. Their sitters have always gone above and beyond in their home care. Hugely recommended! read more

Love them! Michelle is really helpful and easy to communicate with. My pets are my Family - I have a senior long haired mini Doxie who is blind and needs special care; and a young terrier mix who just want to go play with other dogs. I also have two cats who are polar opposites, a gecko, and a cockatiel. When I called to say I need help taking care of the whole crew while I go away for two weeks, she was just fine with all of it. Another place I called was completely overwhelmed by what I needed. Michelle said she had "done it all". That's what I need in a pet sitter. I highly recommend her. Rates are competitive, excellent references. Thumbs up! read more

If you are looking for a responsible, caring pet sitter, give Michelle a call at Coastal Pet Services. She set me up with pet sitter, Emily, who did a fantastic job taking care of my husky! You can trust Emily to care for your pet and most especially, give your pet love and attention. Thank you Michelle and Emily! We will definitely use your services again. read more

For the few occasions we're out of town, Michelle truly steps up and is there for our cat and dog. I love the pictures that she sends over during her visits, and when we come home we can tell that our babies have been well loved. Lola and Benito are lucky to have such a great sitter! read more

They were amazing! We were out of town for our honeymoon and they provided updates to us via text and photos. Returned home to happy kitties... once they got done being mad at us lol! read more

We had never boarded our sweet Cavalier King Charles Spaniel before because we were always able to find friends or family to watch him. I started calling boarding/kennel places and it honestly made me so anxious. The dogs were in crates for a large portion of the day or they were with 20+ other dogs without any separation! Anyway, so grateful I found Coastal Pet Sitters. Michelle was great in connecting us to Edd, one of the homes that boards dogs, and it was honestly the BEST experience. He has a dog and they had one additional dog staying and they were able to be in someone's home, with a yard who really loved our dog very well. He sent us pictures and videos everyday giving us updates and it just made me feel so at ease knowing our pup was being well cared for. Highly recommend Coastal Pet Sitters! read more

I used Coastal Pet Sitters when I first lived in San Diego and when I moved back they were the first people I got in touch with to make sure that my pups were taken care of when we were away from our home. Michelle runs a great business and both of the sitters I have had have been very attentive and always provide feedback and pictures throughout the trip. Great business, great service, and highly recommended. read more

I called Michelle a couple of days before we were due to go out of town for three nights (usually I would be more organised but we decided to go on a whim). We have a precious cat who really hates to be alone, especially because I work from home so he has company almost 24/7. Usually we would take him to a cattery, but we didn't want to put him through the trauma of a car journey to get there for only three nights, but three nights is too long to leave him on his own. Michelle and Carol found time at short notice to come to my place to collect a key and meet our cat, and they were very friendly and it was obvious how much they love animals. Carol sent me text message updates and pictures of our cat while we were away, so we knew he was happy and taken care of. I highly recommend Coastal Pet Sitters to anyone who needs someone to look in on their precious pets while they are out of town. read more

I just wanted to thank Coastal Pet Sitters (esp. David) for taking care of my babies while I was in Carlsbad. They had a blast and were tired at the end of the day. I will be going back to Carlsbad more often and will definitely use CPS' services again.A Big Thank You. read more

First time using a pet sitting service for our kitties, and we were not disappointed with Coastal Pet Sitters. We felt very comfortable leaving them for a week with visits from Michelle, and greatly appreciated the cute photos and updates while we were gone! Definitely recommend!! Thank you Michelle! read more

I have been working with Michelle at Coastal Pet Sitters for almost 12 years now and am so thankful to have her and her sitters watching my cat, Max. I can leave with peace of mind and assurance that he will be well taken car of. There is no one else I would use instead. HIGHLY recommend this agency, you get someone that is watching your babies like their own family. read more

Michelle and her team are amazing! We had a wonderful first experience using their services and have already booked two more sitting services with them! We have dogs and cats - everyone was relaxed and happy when we got home after an extended weekend. No messes, no anxious doggies awaiting us. Our home was in perfect order - our sitter even stripped the sheets off the bed that she slept in, which was completely unnecessary but very much appreciated! 5 stars all the way! read more

Linda took amazing care of Felix the cat and he was very happy and healthy when we returned home. She sent us pictures everyday of the cat, updated us on what he was doing and his mood. It made my fiancee and me feel really comfortable and we will definitely be using her again. THANK YOU! read more

I found coastal pet sitters off of yelp. Michelle and her husband are worth the good reviews they have recieved! They are so warm and friendly, and my dog truly feels like he is being taken care of as if he were with family. I highly recommend Michelle for her loving and caring demeanor. read more

They are the BEST!! Wouldn't want any other person but Michelle or her staff to care for our babies. Michelle and her staff cared for my choc lab Kali for a few years while I lived there in Encinitas and took her on walks when I had to work long hours. Even took her to the beach and played ball with her which she loved so much! I never had to worry about my dog Kali with Michelle or her great staff. They care for your dogs as if they were their own. They are very trust worthy and I wouldn't go anywhere else. Now I live in Las Vegas and planning to get married on the beach with our babies and of course I am calling Coastal Pet Sitters to help us out. Would HIGHLY recommend! read more

Coastal Pet Sitters have phenomenal reviews for a reason. Michelle and her team are outstanding and go above and beyond to take care of our cats when we're out of town. I would highly recommend them! read more

I cannot say enough great things about Coastal Pet Sitters! I have been working with Michelle for over 7 years now and will never use anyone else for my dog Freddie. I have referred countless friends and will continue to because the service she and her staff provide is truly above and beyond. They love animals and it shows in the attentiveness and care they provide. I am so grateful to have found them and recommend them HIGHLY. read more

Coastal Pet Sitters is a very unique family business. I first used them when my husband and I got a second dog, a rhodesian ridgeback puppy. I was a little nervous having someone that I did not know in my home but Michelle (owner) took her time with us and showed us her insurance papers, referrals and assured us she is not new to petsitting. She was very professional, loving and caring and it made it easy for us to decide to leave our dogs in her care. On our first day away from home we received a phone call to let us know that everything is ok and that the dogs are safe. When I got back they left a pet "diary" describing what they did with the dogs while we where away. They also followed my instructions regarding puppy training and offered a few tips that came in handy at that time. We have been using Coastal Pet Sitters ever since and I have not been disappointed. read more

I have nothing but positive things to say about Coastal Pet Sitters. Michelle and Carol have looked after our two cats on a number of occasions, and I have a great deal of trust in them. Our cats always seem very happy and relaxed when we come home. They're true professionals and I recommend the service highly. Thanks Coastal Pet Sitters! read more

I highly recommend coastal pet sitters. I have used Michelle and her team for the last 1-2 years when traveling on vacations or for work, and found them to be absolutely excellent and completely reliable. They have looked after my older dog with kindness and dedication, always making sure that I know they had arrived to look after Stella, sending updates during the time I was away, and making sure that we had arrived safely home at the end of the trip. It really puts your mind at ease to know that someone is truly caring for your dog while you are away. read more

I had a very last minute work trip and my usual pet sitter was unavailable. I was so grateful that Michelle and Tom were able to fill in on such short notice. Tom took great care of my kitties and sent me some updates/pictures while I was gone. I felt like they were in good hands. read more

The BEST dog care ever!!!!!! I love love love Coastal Pet Sitters. I can't say enough about them. They take customer service to a whole new level!!!! I would be LOST without them. I don't have kids, my dog is my kid and there is absolutely no one I would trust more with my sweet Parker. Michelle, Jason and their wonderful staff treat Parker like a member of their family. What more could you ask for!! He is always SO excited to go to see them and he always comes back to me "a better dog". I wish I could spend every moment with my Parker as he is the funniest dog around but I work a lot and can't always give him the attention he deserves, so when I drop him off at Coastal Pet Sitters, I can let out a sigh of relief...knowing that he will be loved and watched over. It is truly his "Home away from Home" and for that I am forever grateful! read more

Michelle's two key rings (giant locking carabiners) look like a janitor's, weighing in at 3lbs each. Each key has a fob on it with a name like "Rocky" or "JD," evidence that since 2004, when she founded Coastal Pet Sitters, her world has gone to the dogs...and cats, horses, reptiles, birds, fish, and the "small & furry" (bunnies, Guinea pigs). A former marketing executive, she knows first-hand how busy working professionals can be, so she tailored her business to accommodate those kinds of lifestyles. She also knows that for many owners, their pets ARE their children, so only the best will do. That's why she is meticulous with her paperwork. She insists on personally meeting with every single potential client to gather myriad details to ensure that their pet care habits are precisely mirrored while they're out, and that any/all training is gently reinforced for consistency, and she'll suggest pet care improvements. She's equally as meticulous with her choice of contracted pet sitters, who pass FBI background checks and job-shadow Michelle, and vice-versa, for a period of time before she will allow them to begin working on their own even though they have extensive qualifications and experience. It should be noted here that "sitting" is a gross misnomer. If a Coastal Pet Sitter walks your dog(s), your dog(s) will be tired. Count on it. Michelle and the other pet sitters have a no-"sniff & stroll" policy (unless, of course, you have an elderly or injured dog). For healthy pooches, only Power Walking (2.2mph at least) is acceptable, faster even if your dog(s) participate(s) in "Boot Camp" to shed pounds/get back in shape. Sitters clock each and every walk to ensure no pet is shorted time. In fact, they often give a few more minutes than contracted. I know first-hand; I walked with Michelle for awhile, and even as cross-country runner, I had a hard time keeping pace with her. For 5'7" Michelle and her equally tall and fit sitters, there's no dog too big (170-200lb. Mastiffs, Wolfhounds, St. Bernards) and no dog too small (7-lb. Yorkies). Ditto Doggy Day Care and boarding: the 1,750 sq. ft. area looks like a tidy childcare center, painted happily with flowers on the walls, structured with baby gates (puppy rest areas), and complemented by a full kitchen, bath, and laundry facility, all echoing the Zen sounds of water gurgling from both indoor and outdoor fountains and "Animal Planet" that continuously runs softly on the TV in the back playroom, replete with toys, beds and a treadmill. The door to the covered patio remains open so the dogs can feel free to roam anywhere along the exterior with its rocky walk (for sanitary peeing) that leads to a circular grassy area surrounded by chain-link reinforced fences offering a glorious view of rainforest-like gardens (and koi pond), which is so breathtaking, the City of Leucadia would like to feature it in its 2010 Leucadia Garden Walk. For overnight stays in your home, if one of Michelle's sitters is contracted - a popular choice given that housesitting is included free of charge -- they adhere to the strictest of rules, including not imbibing any of the client's food or drink. They also leave your home cleaner than it was when they arrived, performing light housekeeping, taking out the trash, watering plants, and bringing in mail, etc. Michelle and her team are extremely communicative with clients who prefer daily text messages, or notes on the counter, especially when medications need to be administered. As a result of her careful screening, extensive service offerings and loving care for pets, Michelle and her team's high-end "Who's Who List" clients have become extended family, which includes a psychologist, a psychiatrist, surgeons, attorneys, medium- to large-business owners, and senior executives, including a head honcho with Muttropolis (www.muttropolis.com). Bottom-line: Coastal Pet Sitters = peace of mind. You would be lucky to have them. Your life (and your pets) will be better for it. read more

I love Coastal Pet Sitters. They have been taking care of our cat for about a year now and we are very happy. Michelle is very flexible and super sweet. You can tell she loves animals. She even gives you referrals to other pet sitters should you need it for a specific situation. No questions asked. Michelle also has pet sitters that work for her and Jean takes care of Romeo. She is great. She gives you as much or as little info during her visits as you want. I would definitely recommend Coastal Pet Sitters for all my friends to settle your mind when you travel. It's worth every penny! read more

Michelle and her staff are a great group of professional sitters! Michelle the owner is very sensitive to my pets' needs and always makes sure they are loved! read more

Coastal Pet Sitters are the best! Michelle and Jason create a wonderful environment for our dog. He get's very excited when he knows he is going there. We also use their service when we go on vacation even with a short notice. I highly recommend Coastal Pet Sitters and they treat our dog like it was their own. read more

Linda is wonderful! Our bulldog can be a challenge to walk, but she manages to get him out and about every week. I am very grateful we found her! read more

We have used Coastal Pet Sitter's services for the past year for our dog, and since then I have referred friends & clients to them. The owners & their staff are extremely knowledgeable about dogs & their behaviors, they are the friendliest people, take the dogs on long walks, and the rest of the time the dogs have a big yard and part of the house to play and roam around in. I think when I see our dog run towards their place with his tail wagging like crazy, that tells me he also thinks they get 5 Stars. I highly recommend. read more

If you are looking for a place where your pet feels "at home", then look no further. My dog has been going to doggy day camp there for years. The yard is well secured and the dogs can wander around either outside in the yard, or roam inside in the "living room" where there's two couches and even a TV. I also board my dog there and again, it works out perfectly as they are all free to roam around. Check it out! read more

Coastal Pet Sitters are the best. I would not trust anyone else with my cats. I always got picture updates and happy cats when I returned home. This was both when Michelle did the visits herself and when her staff filled in. It's tough to find someone you can trust with your pets. This is the place. read more
