We highly recommend Stay and Play Pet Sitting and will definitely use their services again!

To say that I was extremely anxious to leave my babies (and home) in the hands of someone new for…read morethe very first time is an understatement. Casey Booram with Stay & Play Pet Sitting made my life and my babies' lives so much easier & stress-free For context, my dogs have stayed in a pet boarding in a prior city an hour away from our current residence. We needed to find a new place to watch our babies. I found Melinda (the business-owner) through networking & she got me connected right away with one of her specialists that lived closer to my area. We had our meet & greet meeting, and I could instantly tell that Casey had an amazing heart & had decades years of working with animals to back her up. Casey texted us throughout all the drop-ins (we were gone for a weekend) sent photos of our happy pups, and gave us a very detailed recap of their progress and state of the dogs after each visit. There's no price to put on the peace of mind that Casey was able to provide us and the thoughtful care she put into the time with my fur babies. She went the extra mile when she had no obligation to (staying an extra 30 mins past the scheduled time to earn the trust of my very skeptical, cautious, and anxious Chi). When it comes to pet boarding, it's very difficult to get live status updates + feel secure in how your dogs are doing. Being able to leave them at home and know that all their needs are being met while still being able to enjoy my vacation was a great experience. If you're someone in the area that has ever needed a reliable, experienced, and thoughful pet sitter -- don't hesistate to connect with Stay & Play Pet Sitting.

I cannot say enough good things about Venturing Pack Dog Services. I am crazy about my fur babies…read moreand I drive ALL the way from Pasadena to Menifee when I need daycare for my babies. I love that this is a home based day care that has more than enough space for the pups to run. Kathryn, her brother, and her husband are EXCEPTIONAL. I first used them when I went to Thailand for 2 weeks and again when I went to Hawaii for a week. The pups had not been there in a year and KNEW where they were going and were ecstatic when we turned into their street. My golden has a lot of health issues and her medication regime has never an issue. My malamute mix has anxiety and can sometimes mount, and again never an issue. He's also not very trusting so the fact that he is happy is so reassuring. I LOVE that Kathryn will send me videos and pictures of my babies next to her human baby coexisting. It really is family owned. I rather make the 1-2hr drive and take them here than go anywhere else. I can go on vacation and have peace of mind that my babies are not just being taken cared of but also being loved on. Don't look further, bring your fur babies here!

The place is so clean and Denise is very selective about which dogs she will take to ensure that it is a great experience for all. She is adamant about vaccination and health records.

I found this place after a terrible experience with a private dog sitter. Let me tell you that this has been a blessing for us to find a place that gives both of us time to socialize. Dogtopia has a friendly staff that provides care to your fur babies as if they were thier own. They offer daycare, boarding & grooming. There is a small discount if you're pup is a member. Before you can do any of this you'll need to have a meet & greet furst to ensure that this us a suitable option for your pup. They have separate play areas that are determined by a dogs size I believe. If you're interested in seeing how your dog is doing there is a Webcam for you to check. The dogs have a nap time as well mid day and during this time camera access is not available. What I love the most about Dogtopia though is they have a themed picture day almost once a month! I'm one 9f those dog moms that thinks everything my dog does is adorable so this is perfect, lol. This happens to also be a convenient commute on a hectic work morning as it's literally blocks away from my place of employment. Thank you dogtopia for taking care of my boy when I'm away!

This was one of the most stressful and upsetting experiences we've had as dog owners…read more We brought our dog in for a trial day and were told she only had a "minor scratch" on her eye. When we picked her up, her eye was severely swollen shut -- clearly far worse than what we were told. Emergency and follow-up vets later confirmed it was multiple bite wounds, not a scratch. What's even more frustrating is what happened after. We were told there would be an investigation and possible reimbursement, but it has now been over 2 months with: No report No communication No accountability We trusted them with our dog's safety, and both the incident and the lack of follow-up have been extremely disappointing. I would strongly urge others to be cautious.

Doug literally saved my dog's life. I had adopted my 75 pound lab mix Bear from the shelter at an…read moreadoption event. I was attracted to his size and his calm demeanor. I also felt sorry for him because he seemed so sad. I had no idea how many issues he had even though the foster coordinator did tell me he had been returned to the shelter three times before me. I thought with love and training he would be a good dog. I had trained two rescue dogs before I had children and thought I was ready for another. After bringing Bear home, it became more and more obvious that he was a fearful dog and had many behavioral issues due to this fearfulness. He jumped at any noise, barked at anyone other than the family who tried to get near him and was absolutely insane on a leash. He also appeared to be extremely dog aggressive. I hired a trainer recommended by the shelter and although he was good and thoughtful, his passive approach was difficult to implement, and didn't address many of my immediate problems. He also said that Bear would take a lot of work and always be fearful. I tried another trainer that seemed a little more highly recommended (and yes, I'll admit it, cheaper). After filling out a questionnaire and viewing Bear at her facility she told me that it was just a matter of time before he bit another dog or even a person. She also said that he would always be fearful. Based on her recommendation, I tried to rehome Bear. I was very honest, posting his information on Facebook exchanges and calling rescues. Nobody wanted him, based on the fact that he needed training and was possibly dog aggressive. One rescue recommended I drop him off at a shelter in Agoura Hills since people there had more money and there was less chance he would be put down. I called the shelter where I had gotten Bear and they told me they couldn't take him back either since it would be next to impossible to find a home for him. The only ray of hope I had was one woman on the Facebook exchange recommended Doug as someone who had helped plenty of PitBulls through a rescue she was affiliated with. I called Doug in a last ditch attempt before taking Bear to the shelter (and certain death). Doug spoke with me for almost an hour and gave me several tips over the phone in order to control Bear until he could meet him. On our first session, he came to my house and observed Bear. It was tense at first as Bear didn't like any strange people, let alone a tall man in a hat coming into his house. Doug won him over by the end of the session and had him taking treats from his hand. Doug did a lot of observing that day, gave me some training tasks to do and left us with something we didn't have before - hope. In the next session, Doug saw a completely new dog. Because of the tips and observations Doug had given us, I had the confidence to take Bear to the local dog park. The ability to run and socialize with other dogs was actually just what Bear needed. At the dog park he walked right up to people and let them pet him. He appeared just like any other dog. When Doug saw him, he was amazed at how much more relaxed he was. Doug has given us tools and techniques to work with Bear and he is improving by leaps and bounds. I can walk him now without having my arm ripped off or worrying that he will attack everyone we meet. He is sweet and polite and learning to be an amazing companion. Thanks to Doug, Bear will have a home with me for the rest of his life.
