Kathleen's Critters has been amazing with my rescue Frenchie, who can be a little reactive and anxious. I completely trust them -- they communicate through the whole visit, send updates and photos, and always handle him with so much patience and care. It gives me real peace of mind knowing he's in such good hands. Highly recommend! read more

We used Kathleen's Critters for a last minute trip to Europe. Kathleen's team was AMAZING!! We received multiple updates every day (pics, videos) and felt extremely comfortable with the care provided for our pup. We will definitely use Kathleen's Critters for all of our future pet sitting needs. Thank you Kathleen and Jayci for taking such good care of our boy. -Jay & Jess read more

Kathleen and her employees are very responsible and love our kitty like she was theirs. We get daily videos and updates.

Kathleen's Critters was recommended to me by my neighbor and now I can't recommend them enough! Kathleen is wonderful! Our dogs love her, and we get it. We truly appreciate the peace of mind Kathleen provides when we can't be home with our pups. It is apparent she has spent years around animals. She is confident and comfortable handling them, feeding them, and caring for them in various ways. We look forward to many more services. Thank you Kathleen for all you do!! read more

What a great experience! We'd never worked with a pet sitter before so we were nervous about it. We did a meet and greet first with Kathleen, S, and D which calmed my nerves. Then a meet and greet with the dogs. All good there. Drop off at S and D's went smoothly with no issues. The dogs had a great time playing with D and running around the yard. Great people and would definitely work with them again in a heartbeat! A++++ read more

I travel a lot, so it is important for me to have a reliable resource I can depend on to check in on my two cats when I'm away. I was so used to having to coordinate with friends and neighbors who aren't even pet owners just to have someone I trusted to be in my home who was available (especially when I was new in town). I honestly didn't even know Cat sitting visits was a thing (and they do reptiles, birds and other small mammals too). Kathleen's Critters has been a fantastic resource for me. I love that I can be away without worrying about anything and they even send pictures & video updates for added peace of mind (kitty photoshoots is a fun, unexpected bonus haha). My cats, Nix & Boots, can be shy and hide around new people. Kathleen has a wonderful energy about her and they warmed up to her for petting (even offering belly rubs!). I really appreciate that Kathleen and her staff have play time with some of their toys during the visits rather than just feeding them. If you're looking for an amazing company you and your pet can rely on, make sure you check out Kathleen's Critters! read more

We are so happy to have found Kathleen's Critters, whom we have been using for dog walking services for the past few months. When we first contacted Kathleen, we had just adopted a rescue pup who is quite nervous and reactive toward strangers, but she and Ashley took great care in helping him acclimate and get comfortable going out with someone new. As we are first time dog owners, we also really appreciated the suggestions and tips that they shared! Ashley is always so communicative and sends us great photos/videos from each walk, and Kathleen is consistently super responsive to any inquiry. Highly recommend! read more

Kathleen is my dog Athena's bonus mom and Athena can NOT WAIT to get to her house for her stays away from home when I'm out of town! Kathleen's dog Sanza is Athena's bestie and she spends her time permanently attached to Sanza when she visits. Kathleen is not only an amazing caretaker she is truly part vet with her years of experience. She picks up on minor changes in Athena's health before they ever get to be bigger problems. You won't find a more amazing, loving caretaker for your pet than Kathleen! read more

Great communication/care/services. My dogs are shy, but they have been able to make them feel comfortable. Grateful for Kathleen's team!

We have been using Kathleen's Critters for about a year now for weekly walks and overnights. Our dogs just adore her. She is punctual, reliable, considerate, she has great communication skills and always sends great photos and videos of their adventures. We highly recommend her! read more

Kathleen is a fantastic pet sitter. I have a 5-month-old puppy, Piper, with a big personality and lots of energy. While staying with Kathleen, Piper gets to socialize, lounge comfortably, and go to the beach. She took her first swim surrounded by other fun pups. She was returned after our last trip bathed, tired, and so happy. Sanza, Kathleen's dog (pictured), is excellent with every animal, and Piper can't get enough. I feel completely at ease when traveling/working, receiving frequent texts and video updates. Additionally, Kathleen is an incredibly knowledgeable resource that understands all sorts of dog personalities and knows precisely what to do to keep them feeling safe, happy, and loved. I would never call it boarding; I would call it Puppy Summer Camp! I have also utilized daycare services, and Jayci has watched Piper during the day on multiple occasions. Jayci does a great job sending updates, and Piper loves playing with her dog as well. I was nervous about nail trimming because Piper has black nails, and Kathleen was helpful. She recommended the correct trimmer, demonstrated technique, and had a gentle approach that made a potentially scary situation easier. I highly recommend Kathleen and her staff for all your pet needs! read more

We are so grateful we found Kathleen's Critters. We moved to San Diego before the pandemic and did not do any traveling for a long time. When we did travel, we found pet-friendly hotels and brought our 12-year-old dog Yogi along with us. But then our son invited us on a 3-day camping trip with our grandkids, and the site did not allow pets. So that set us on a hunt for a boarding service. We saw a reference to Kathleen's Critters on a local Facebook group page, and there were many positive comments, so we decided to give her a try. When we reached out, she responded promptly. She asked us some questions about Yogi and and then soon got back to us with a recommendation for where she thought Yogi would enjoy staying. Kathleen matched us with the most wonderful retired couple. To make sure the match was comfortable for everyone, Kathleen arranged for all of us to meet together at the couple's home on an afternoon before our trip. It was a great visit. The couple asked many questions and took detailed notes to make sure they would be able to provide the best care for Yogi. We felt so at ease leaving Yogi in the care of his new 'grandparents.' The couple even texted us photos of Yogi while we were away, which was so fun and heart warming. They sent pictures of him out on a walk, playing tug-of-war, and doing his favorite thing: snoozing under a chair. We will definitely depend on Kathleen's Critters the next time we travel cannot bring our dog along with us. We highly recommend her service to others. read more

My pups absolutely adore Kathleen! They spent their days with her beaching it up, walking around town, and lounging around the house (all of their favorite things). Cheech and Bonnie were also groomed while with Kathleen and came home clean and smelling wonderful. I cannot recommend Kathleen's Critters enough. She's the absolute best. read more

We feel so fortunate to have Kathleen care for our energetic lab retriever mix (Abbey) pup when we leave town. She sends regular updates & cute pics and our pup has an amazing time - like a fun summer camp! Our dog has the opportunity to swim, play and socialize with other great pups, so her days are filled with lots of tail wags and exercise. She also gives her the pets and snuggles she craves as a 'velcro' dog. read more

Kathleen is a great pet sitter. We have used them twice recently in the past couple of months and will also need them again soon for more travels we do in 2022 and beyond. Kathleen is professional, but she is also kind,and most importantly, she takes amazing care of our pups. We have used her for both drop in walks and also for overnight stays (Ashley stayed with our dogs at our house). It was a relief and peace of mind to have them take such great care with our dogs. One of our dogs is a senior who has limited mobility and they handled him with care. It's so comforting to know your dogs are in great care when you can't be there yourself. Thank you Kathleen's Critters read more

I used Kathleens Critters a few weeks ago to watch my dog Calvin, Kalene stayed at my house with my dog who tends to have issues with strangers in the home. He quickly warmed up to her, and she sent me lots of videos of them going on walks and playing. I have had a hard time in the past finding a sitter that is a good fit for Calvin. He also recently had surgery and she made sure he got his meds and had his cone on when unattended. I will definitely be using Kalene again! read more

Kathleen has watched my 2 bulldogs a few times now and it's about time I write a review. They aren't just dogs to me - they are my kids and I am very particular with who I let watch them. I don't hesitate for a moment to call Kathleen when my almost 2 year old, Olive, needs to burn some energy and Kathleen takes her to the beach or on a hike. This past weekend we went away and Kathleen connected me with Ashley to stay at our place with both Harry & Olive. Ashley was GREAT!!! She sent me pics and videos throughout the weekend. She was so detailed with her level of care for them. Harry has a lot of medical issues and his medications schedule is no joke. I left her a detailed list and was so happy to come home and see that she had written up her own little reminder and checklist for each time she gave them their meds and in what order. Both dogs were completely exhausted when we got home which tells me they had a blast. She arrived right on time and texted me when she got in. We already have a trip booked for this summer and already have Ashley booked to come back. I highly recommend Kathleen (and Ashley) of Kathleen's Critters! Give her a call. Your fur babies will thank you! read more

I needed a last minute pet sitter for my 2 kittens over the holidays and every place I called was booked.

She is a genuine, compassionate individual. Thank you, Kathleen! read more
