They sent me pictures and updates daily, which was amazing! I could see on the 2nd day that my girls had settled in and were enjoying themselves. We were staying at a hotel that was not dog friendly just up the street and were planning on picking them up during the day, but since they looked happy, we were comfortable with them staying there for the duration of our trip and not stressing them by taking them out and returning them. Will definitely use them next time we travel with our dogs to Monterey.

Josh walked him, hung out with him, and became Picasso's best friend in the span of a few hours. I'll definitely be booking with these folks again next time I'm in town!

He even took the dogs out to the dogpark for a few hours to get them exercised. I know that my baby Frankie had a good time because he had a great big smile on his face when we came to pick him up.

Anyways, I'll definitely be calling up Kyle again next time we're in the area.

Roscoe needs help several times a day to empty his bladder and bowels, so a regular kennel is not really an option for me. When I searching for a sitter, Kyle was the only one I found that was willing to work with a handicapped dog.

I would recommend to anyone. William - Simi Valley

We have seen both vets and my first visit experience with Dr. Nichols for kindness and friendliness has not been matched. That is not to say that the other female vet is not professional because she is just a different type of personality. Our cats are treated well and they calm down quickly at the hands of the sweet staff. The wait time is not excessive if you have an appointment and routine exams are reasonably priced at around $70.00. We have young male neutered cats so their care is fairly straightforward My only comment is a type of flea treatment was recommended and it did not work well at all. However the staff recommended a dry flea shampoo which was very effective if I'm able to catch our cat long enough to apply it to their coat. We are also using Revolution now but I purchased it at Costco with a Rx from Nichols at a little better price. Saving about $25.00 so far. Overall I have been happy with my limited vet visits and I plan to keep returning so stay tuned for more reports of hopefully continued excellent care.

I have had multiple encounters that have resulted in me finally deciding to make this review, and…read morenever bring my animals back to this vet. I am a trusting person, I always give the benefit of doubt, but when multiple occasions occur, it's time to make sure no one else encounters what I have. The staff is extremely condescending, they always result all of their information back to "notes", the problem is, this office NEVER documents anything in specific details, so I never receive the help I'm told I would receive. I took my dog in for a check-up, he has had the worst fungal infections since moving here to California. I have BEGGED the vet there to allergy test him to find out what is causing him to get these infections, and every single time I'm told that allergy tests are not accurate and it's not necessary, but they will continue to charge me $400 a visit to treat his infections that this allergy of unknown is causing. Another problem is I am constantly getting different vets, and not a single one clearly reads up on my pet before coming because they all try to treat and diagnose differently to up charge me each time I come in. One vet tried to say he had an inflammatory disease and needed biopsies, another said he has an allergy to food, and another said it's just environmental factors that are causing allergies. It's always a different outcome, and more charges. They even charged me $50 to clean his ears, when I had just told them I cleaned them before arriving. One visit they had the vet come in, and due to his condition I was concerned about him getting the vaccines I came in for, and so I asked to see the vet first, she agreed it was ok for him to get them, so the tech came back after the appointment and gave him his two vaccines. I called to get the records, and the staff informs me that he never received the vaccines. I said yes he did, I watched the tech give them to him, and the staff informs me because there is no documentation of it, it never happened, and he would have to get revaccinated, and it would not hurt him to get them again. Absolutely ridiculous behavior! How can you run a practice and not document the most important thing? Then, I returned recently, and they tried to tell me my dog had gained weight, I said gained or lost? She said gained, last visit he was 65 pounds. (My dog has always been 80 pounds for the last 4 years), I said no that is not correct at all, he has never been that little, his sister is 62 pounds and half his size. She then tells me, oh I do see where the visit before that he was 79 pounds, so the tech must have been confused. I said, no, that is inexcusable, weight is not something to get confused about, you could kill my dog by prescribing medications not matching his weight, or he could be prescribed medication not high enough for his weight and it won't help his condition. This is not something to just ignore, I want that reported. Once again, no documentation was made about this encounter. I was given two prescriptions, and the pharmacy tech told me I only have 10 pills so you will need to pick up the remaining 20, and I have written a prescription for 5-10 days on ear drops, but I only have 5 days available, so when you get his remaining pills you can pick up the remaining 5 days of the ear drops, she said we will charge you for it all today, and then when you come back you can just pick them up. I called today and once again Cindy informs me no documentation was made regarding any of this, but she spoke to the vet and tech, and I could pick up the 20 pills, but in order to get the remaining 5 days of ear drops, I would have to pay for an entire bottle again. It's just extremely frustrating to continue to get told so many different things that always results in my hard earned money being spent. You would think that if they cared about the health of animals, their documentation process would be A LOT more serious and stricter by making sure every single word is placed into the charts. But I feel like they continue to use this no documentation as an excuse and opportunity to get away with charging people for additional care that they would not be able to if there was proper documentation. Also, my pet has had the same reoccurring issues, yet, I am asked to come in and pay for visits every single time it comes back. There has been NO solution, and NO cure. Just multiple visits and new medication treatments every time. Then, they want to place him on allergy medication, without even known what the allergy is. He was on cytopoint injections that DID NOT help, which makes since because whatever he is allergic to is still around, so this is why I continue to ask if we can test him to eliminate whatever it is that is causing his allergies. Instead, they give him more antibiotics, steroids, ear drops, and tell me come back in weeks to talk about new allergy treatments. I have had so many more encounters I will post additionally- I'm out of space here:
