Beware, they're responsible for the death of my dog. While watching my dog at their house, they negligently leave doors open leading to my dog escaping. We never found her and they even still use my dead dogs picture on Yelp, avoid at all costs. read more

I contracted with Got Paws for my 18-day trip to Ireland for a twice-a-day visit for my 3 cats. Expensive! I thought they would be in good hands. I had Susan come to my home and gave her a list of what I needed her to do as per her contract. I also told her in person that I had two windows slightly open to create a cross-draft and to keep the fans on at all times. I came home to a stuffy, dark hot house that reeked of strong pee and poop. Susan had shut the windows, turned off the fans, and left only the den light on. Litter, cat hair, and other debris were spread all over my living room and kitchen floor; gnats, litter, and cat hair were in their water bowl. She came into my house with dirty shoes and got some kind of dried mud on my foyer mat. Mind you, Susan says she cleaned everything just hours before I arrived home. I also noticed that the two big containers of fresh litter I had left out by their boxes were never used in 18 days. My cats were so traumatized by the conditions they were living in at the height of summer (110 degrees outside) that they were frantic when I walked in. They needed reassurance, affection, and fresh air. I immediately opened the windows, turned on the fans, and fed them. I spent two days airing the stench out of my house and cleaning the mess left behind by Susan. This was animal abuse. I contacted Got Paws via email four times before I got a response from Victoria. She just blew me off and said Susan never had any complaints. She basically said she "knew" Susan cleaned the cat boxes every day, changed the water every day, swept the floors every day, and took great care of my "kitties." It was all gas-lighting, not a hint of dealing with Susan, not a crumb of apology for what my cats endured. THIS COMPANY HAS NO HEART AND IS RUN BY INCOMPETENT LIARS. DO NOT RISK YOUR PETS WITH THESE PEOPLE. read more

Well run personable walkers, with knowledge and skill and most important, love and kindness! Nikki and Sam are the best walkers and people! read more

We cannot say enough good things about the team at Got Paws! Over the last several years, our fur baby Duke has been taken care of by Karen, Michelle and Victoria of the Got Paws team! Every member is super responsible, very kind, caring and so sweet with our pup! It's definitely not easy leaving our Duke at home when he's not able to make the trip with us, but the Got Paws team always puts our mind at ease because we know he's in wonderful hands! read more

Got Paws Pet Care - Duke - Dog Walkers Near Me

We are repeat customers, Steve is friendly and our dog loves him. The prices are reasonable as well

I did not get to have the pleasure of actually meeting Nikki and the team but had them scheduled to watch our fur kiddos. The day we were supposed to meet we lost one of our babies to heart disease. It was one of the hardest days in our lives. I contacted Nikki apologizing for the short notice of the change of plans and she was incredibly understanding. A week later I received a card that was PERSONALIZED with our sweet Boots expressing sympathy. They will absolutely be my first call the next trip we take. You can tell they genuinely care. Thank you for the sunshine during our dark time. read more

Got Paws Pet Care - Dog Walkers Near Me

The Got Paws team was excellent right from the beginning! We needed someone to walk our foster dog nightly while we were on a two-week vacation. Nikki was extremely responsive, answering all of my questions, and we were able to easily coordinate payment through the animal rescue we are fostering our dog through. We had a meet and greet and Victoria and Haley were amazing dog walkers, keeping us posted on how everything was going daily. I was able to have peace of mind that our dog was getting exercise and socializing while we were on vacation and that's worth everything! read more

Susan did an amazing job taking care of our 13 pets (yes - 13!) over the Thanksgiving holiday. She was fantastic with our birds, reptiles, arachnids, fish and dogs. She had the additional task of giving medicine and special care to our youngest dog, who had recently had neck surgery. Susan was very interactive with us, sending updates via text, so we never had to wonder how everyone was doing. We also had some weird schedule changes and Susan was most accommodating. We are grateful to GotPaws for giving us the freedom and peace of mind to see family in another state. You guys are the BEST! read more

See all

This service has been a life saver! Steven has been absolutely amazing with my fur babies. I have one extremely shy girl who takes forever to warm up to strangers, but Steven was best friends with her after only 2 visits. The peace of mind it gives me to know my fur babies are so well cared for when I can't be there is priceless. Thank you Got Paws and Steven!!! read more

My husband and I just moved to the area and had a vacation planned. We had a friend as a pet sitter in Orange County, but we didn't know anyone in Santa Clarita. I did a quick Google search and Got Paws came up. I am so glad that I gave them a call. We were matched up with Karen and she has been the best pet sitter we have ever had. Got Paws makes scheduling easy and even had Karen come and meet Jenna and Rocket. I was a little nervous because Jenna likes to attack feet and it typically scares people, but Karen understood and figured out a way to come in and interact with the dogs in a way that Jenna appreciated. When my husband and I went on our trip, Karen sent tons of videos of the girls and really took time to interact and love them. I cannot thank Got Paws enough for setting us up with Karen. She is a true asset to your team and I brag about her whenever I can. read more

It's so hard to find a good business and still find the love in every employee! I've had the pleasure of experiencing some Got Paws love! Nikki and Steven are good people, and their genuine love and care for each other, the community, and their employees, shines through all the care that they and their sitters give to our pets. I can not recommend a pet sitting company better enough. Got Paws? read more

Nikki was fantastic! This was our first time using a pet sitter other than a family member to care for our cats, and Nikki made the process so easy. From our initial contact in writing to our meet and greet to our texts with Nikki while we were away, the service from Got Paws was friendly and reliable. Nikki showed a genuine concern for our cats and sent us daily updates, which put our minds at ease while being away. As an added bonus, Nikki also watered some plants and brought packages in for us. Thanks for all of your help, Nikki! Kevin and Dave send their love, too. :) read more

We love Got Paws and Nikki's wonderful service and team, needed by so many animal owners in the SCV. We have used them twice so far, last year our sitter was Claire (for a short 4th of July weekend get away) and this year our sitter was Sam (for a two week's vacation most recently in August 2020). Both Claire & Sam were amazing and we appreciated their great service. They have stayed in touch with us every day and sent us pictures of our two cats. We also felt safe knowing they watched out for our house, took care of the mail and some flowers that needed to be watered. Thank you very very much! read more

Amazing !!!!!! The Best !!!!! Look no further..... I'm going to keep this simple. This was my first experience with Got Paws. I left my 17 yr old lab who is not in good health & a new senior rescue in their care at my home. Also, they cared for my 35 yr old turtle. My animals are my life & Nikki & Alexia cared for my four legged family like their own family. This is the VERY BEST pet sitting you'll ever find & I not one who generally writes reviews. The best !!!! read more

Got Paws Pet Care - Dog Walkers Near Me

Recently, when the South Fire broke out we were in San Diego when our street was evacuated but our cats were still in our home. Luckily, we were having the ladies from Got Paws feed them daily and like true heroes they went to our house and got all 3 cats out and kept them at their own home until it was safe to take them back. I can't say enough good things but about Nikki, Hailey and Amanda from Got Paws but they gave us peace of mind that at least our pets were safe. read more

We found Got Paws here on Yelp and we cannot be happier with them. The communication has been 100% clear and quick. They got us all set up with our new rescue pup Ruby. We had a meet and greet prior to starting with our amazing walker Amanda and her relief walker Haley. Roughly two months of having Amanda walk Ruby, we are very, very happy with everything. Never missed a day, Amanda texts updates after each walk, and genuinely provides love and guidance to Ruby. Being new to us and a rescue, it was a learning curve for everyone and thanks to Amanda for tips, advice, and help. Cannot say enough good things about Got Paws! read more

Karen is the absolute best! We recently relocated and we're in need of a pet sitter for our 8 year old Frenchie. From the first contact to the meet and greet everything exceeded our expectations! Karen provided several videos which put our minds at ease. She timed the visits appropriately, made our fur baby feel comfortable, and even went late at night for her last visit. She's sweet, trustworthy and genuine which is important when establishing a pet sitter! Thanks so much Karen for allowing us to really enjoy our 10 year anniversary in wine country. From our first meeting we knew our dog would be in great care! read more

Hands down, Susie is the best dog sitter we've ever used. We would get photos and videos on a daily basis. She played with the dogs, which a lot of sitters don't do. I highly recommend her. read more

Got Paws and Nikki are the best. We recently left our little dog at Nikki's for two weeks. We received daily pictures and updates. We had a nice vacation and didn't worry about our pup. I wouldn't use anyone else to care for our dog. read more

I'm not sure what took me this long to leave an update but here goes. I have had the most wonderful experience with Nikki and Bettina and all of the stuff with got paws! .They have worked with me since my brand new puppy came to my home and have been a pleasure to work with. Bettina is friendly, kind, warm and compassionate and my dog absolutely adores her. In fact he happy pees on her feet each time he sees her and yet she doesn't complain!? She is extremely reliable and Nikki is very accommodating.Complete professional trustworthy business and I recommend them highly to anyone that wants a professional service that truly has passion and integrity! read more

I've never used a pet sitting service before, but with a bunny and an aging dog it was really nice to a) not inconvenience friends with twice a day visits and b) let the animals stay where they're most comfy. The entire process working with Got Paws was great. Very responsive, thorough, trustworthy, and friendly. Sinah did a great job with all the instructions my daughter left her for her bunny and I received pics and detailed texts every time she came. It was great peace of mind and I'll be using them again! read more

This was my first time using a sitter for my little buddy Will so i was nervous about having a stranger come into my house while i was away to take care of him. I searched yelp and decided to use got paws because of their reviews and they were one of the only ones that showed that they are bonded and insured. I got Samantha for my sitter and she was awesome. She was on time for the consultation and always texted me after her visit to update me about my little guy twice a day. I even got a picture of him hanging out so that made me feel at ease while I was away. I would definitely recommend got paws if you need to go out of town and need someone to care for your four legged friend. read more

Nikki and the rest of the Got Paws crew are so easy to work with! You won't be disappointed if you hire them for any of your dog-walking or pet-sitting needs. From your very first consultation meeting with Nikki (free by the way), you will see just how professional, organized, and thoughtful Nikki is. She has thought of everything! Not only will she care for your pet, but she will also care for your home (water your plants, bring in your mail, rotate lights. etc.). Got Paws is insured and bonded as well, so you can feel safe leaving your home in her hands. As far as caring for your pets is concerned, Nikki is top-notch. During the consultation, she really gets to know each pet, and asks lots of questions about their habits, likes, dislikes, etc. When she's caring for my dog, she always sends me little text alerts about how my dog is doing/feeling, and that makes it easier for me to relax when I'm away on vacation. I think her prices are very reasonable. Compared to boarding or kenneling, you spend about the same, but with Nikki, my dog gets to stay in his/her own home and doesn't have to be exposed to the stress of boarding (not to mention any other dogs' germs)! read more

I have never used a pet sitter. I was very skeptical about having a stranger take care of our 3 pups. Things couldn't have gone any better. Nikki and Jessica came to our house for a consult. They were incredibly professional. Jessica ultimately watched our dogs while we were out of town. Every day we got text updates on how they were doing. I would absolutely use Got Paws again. Thanks! read more

I have two cats who absolutely hate being boarded while I am away, so I decided to try Got Paws after finding them on Yelp. Nikki is professional, kind, truly understands animals and has taken great care of my boys! She will send me updates as to how they are doing per visit, and will even sneak in a cute photo from time to time. It is such a comfort to know that my pets are so well taken care of while I am away, and they are much happier staying at home. I would recommend Got Paws to any pet owner! read more

This service is awesome! We were in a pinch and none of the local kennels had availability during the holidays. We called Got Paws? and got results! Alexia came in to take care of our two dogs and 1 cat, and she was amazing! She not only walked and fed the pets, but she bonded and played with them every time she visited. Alexia is amazing. She truly does care for our pets as much as we do. I'm never kenneling our pets again! read more

You definitely get what you pay for! When we first moved to Santa Clarita last year we needed to find a new sitter for our two giant breed dogs. We both work from home and our dogs are used to us being home with them all day so when we're out of town we prefer someone to stay overnight with them and then visit mid-day. Got Paws had the highest ratings but were more expensive than what we were used to paying in LA so we opted for one of the other local sitters. Let me reiterate...you get what you pay for! We were not happy with the other sitting service and once we set up our home automation system we were seeing that they weren't showing up on time and not staying for the specified time. So we decided to start using Got Paws and we couldn't be happier! Bettina is our usual sitter and our dogs LOVE her! She always takes amazing care of them, gives them tons of attention, always texts me updates and photos and takes great care of the house while she's staying here. I always know they're in good hands when we leave them with her. You can't put a price on the peace of mind of knowing your furbabies are well taken care of. read more

As if I need to add yet another 5 star review to this place...you can see they are great by these ratings! I feel so lucky to have such an amazing service right here in SCV. While of course we missed our 2 cats while on a week long vacation, we had no worries while we were away. Patti did a fantastic job caring for and playing with them, and texted us daily updates on their status. Our cats were totally calm when we got home. Communications with the Got Paws staff was easy through email, and the ability to pay online is nice. The consultation was quick and let us show any special care needs and meet our sitter and Nikki. We definitely won't have to think twice next time we need our cats taken care of! Thank you, Got Paws! read more

Our dog is our baby, she means the world to us so we were a bit nervous when we realized we were going to have to find someone to walk her during the day, but into our lives walked Nikki! She is professional, accommodating, and truly cares about her animal clients. She gives me a text when she is done walking Stella, tells me the funny things she does and sometimes sends me pictures. I loved the first day she came to meet us she brought a little piece of cloth (with dog paws on it) with her scent so Stella would remember her, that was so thoughtful! She knows animals, you can tell she loves them, if you need someone to walk, or watch your animals I highly recommend Nikki and her staff at Got Paws! read more

We recently adopted a 5-year old lab as a sister for our almost-13 year old lab. I am really used to how easy the older girl is and when I realized that my husband and I would both be gone this weekend for more time than was acceptable to leave a 5-year old that doesn't nap as much...I thought "we need a solution." Straight to Yelp and I found Got Paws? A couple emails later and we were set for a consultation. Nikki and Amanda showed up on time and were perfect with the dogs and me. Amanda was the one who was going to check in on our pups and she was right on time and texted me an update and a photo. It was great. Made for a less stressful day for all of us. I wish we had more of a need for a pet sitter...I would have them come all the time. It is great to know that they are available. And they provide a service that makes me feel comfortable both with them in our home and with our sweet labs. Call Got Paws instead of asking reluctant friends or the wine-drinking neighbor you barely know.to check in on your dogs. read more

First time using a pet sitter, but it won't be the last. My wife and I went on vacation for a week and had Samantha come by twice a day to feed and play with our cat. She texted us a picture or an update after each time she came, which really helped us not worry about him. She also brought in our mail and took out our trash cans, which was super helpful as well. I always worry that something will happen to our cat or our house when we go out of town, but Got Paws completely eliminated that worry. Super easy to set up and super reliable, will definitely use again. read more

Nikki and Steven are nothing short of awesome. It is really a great feeling to go on vacation and have no worries about my crazy dogs. I was comfortable enough to leave the country and know they were in good hands. They clearly both really care about the pets and enjoy spending time with them. When I returned from a 10-day trip, both of my high-energy dogs seemed tired - they had definitely been walking and playing! They are very meticulous about getting all the specifics about the dogs and following my care instructions, and they give you updates as often as you want. I've so often had the nightmare of not hearing from a pet sitter for days when I'm out of town and not knowing whether my dogs are okay. Got Paws is awesome and I would recommend them to everyone! read more

First time I left my dog since she was a puppy and I was very anxious about it. I was referred to Got Paws by a friend who is as crazy about her dogs as I am about mine and I was NOT disappointed! Bettina stayed with Bootsie while we were gone and treated her as if she was her own! She sent updates with pictures so I could enjoy the time I was away without worrying about my puppy! LOVE this place!!!!!! read more

Our dog has been well taken care of by Got Paws and his walker Jessica .. He can be somewhat skittish in many situations but we feel very comfortable when he is in the hands of Got Paws . Really love that Jessica sends us a text ,upon the completion of a walk, to share with us how the walk went . This gives us piece of mind that our boy is comfortable and awaiting our return home . read more

If I could rate Got Paws higher than 5 stars, I would! Got Paws was exactly what I was looking for, and they were so professional and helpful! I usually have my friends check in on my cats while I am away, but with no one available, I had to find another alternative. I contacted Got Paws, and they returned my calls the same day, and set up an appointment for a consultation. The consult went great, and I had no reservations leaving my kitties in their capable hands! Patti was my cat sitter, and she was wonderful. She sent me a picture after her visit, so I knew the boys were well taken care of! I felt like she took care of my cats like I would take care of them. I highly recommend you getting in touch with Got Paws for your pet sitting needs! They were great, and will be one less stress for you to worry about! read more

My husband and I love Got Paws! If you have any pet sitting needs, this company is a must. Nikki is a pleasure to work with and is so professional. Her follow through and accountability are impeccable. She sent two angels to us - Amanda and Samantha. These two ladies are always on time, they send us detailed notes of their time at our house and send pictures. They go the extra mile above and beyond. Thank you Got Paws. A well deserved 5 stars. read more

Amanda from Got Paws is wonderful. I'm worry free when she sits for my 4 yr. old jack russell/beagle mix as she thoughtfully cares for her...adding cuddles, kisses, and hugs. Amanda texts me and often sends photos after her visits. Nikki and Amanda are very accommodating and always makes time for us. I highly recommend them. They're the best!!! read more

WOW! What can I say...Nikki and Steve are the best!! This was the first time I worked with them and will never need to look further for sitters for our girls. They took such good care of them...even made extra trips (at no charge) just to check up on a minor scratch my little one got. Nikki is so very professional (website, email, client form etc...) takes down every detail you give her and treated our girls as if her own. Her rates are so reasonable for the service she gives that it makes it very affordable to go on vacation and not pay a fortune! I got updates twice a day including pics...Steve was so patient with my food crazy Beagle! I would recommend Got Paws to everyone I know!! Thank you Nikki and Steve!! read more

Nikki is very nice, and very professional, and I know my babies are in great hands. Thanks Nikki! read more

I absolutely adore Got Paws! and I am so thankful to be able to call them whenever work schedules get crazy and we need help getting the dog walked. Scheduling is incredibly simple and I really appreciate that the same person walks our dog each time. I also love that we get a text when the dog walk is over to let us now how the dog did. The service is amazing, billing is always easy and it's obvious from the moment you meet the people here that they really care about your pet's well being. read more
