    Empty water bowl
    Richard D.

    I would not use this business at all. We just finished using them for the first time and last time for that matter. We asked for Lara to have someone stay with our two dogs over the weekend. You would think because we are paying for a weekend and having Beau stay at our home that the job would consist of him being with the dogs for the days we have hired him. Well. That is NOT the case. When you hire these people they also book other jobs and they are NOT with your pet all of the time. We were never told this and Lara nor her staff never explained that they would be taking other jobs. We do not support this business nor do we recommend them to anyone. Complete rip off! We came home to an empty water bowl and no where on her contract does it state they take on more clients while watching your pets. Since the owner replied. You can clearly see she lied. First she stated it was on the form and now she stated my wife was told over the phone. Complete lie! Lara you lied and accept it. Your service sucks and who leaves a bowl empty or in your words almost empty. This is NOT a mean post but a truthful one with facts shown in the images.

    Christmas 2014 and all is well.

    Lara is dependable and honest. She pet sits for us when we're out of town and we feel very comfortable knowing our dogs are in good hands. She loves them and we know they're happy with her. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter." Ken and Darlene Tipton

    Pet sitting at our wedding was a breeze. Thanks Lara and Melissa!

They keep the litter area clean, entertain our playful cats, send cute pics, and are quick to respond when we inquire about availability. I highly recommend this duo!

    I've used Cheryl & John for 10yrs now and they are truly fantastic and so loving to my lil boys (2…read moredachshunds). They're trust-worthy, clean, and reliable. Whenever I book their time, they are very professional. They always call to confirm the night before AND once they've settled into the house, they give me updates on how my babies are doing. This gives me the comfort level they are taking good care of my pups while I'm away and I don't feel as guilty for leaving them. Cheryl & John are animal lovers too and have pets of their own, so they can relate to fanatics like us! Since I travel a lot for business and pleasure, I use them for overnight stays. This means they spend the night in the guest bedroom because I don't like to leave my boys alone overnight. I use them for overnight sitting several times, throughout the year and its worked out great! I can always count on them to watch the boys and the house at the same time. They've picked up my mail and watered my plants while I was out. They are honest and good people. I trust them with my boys and the house. Everything stays the same and nothing is broken.When I come back from my trip after Cheryl & John's overnight stay, I can always tell my babies were well taken care of based on their demeanor. The dogs aren't stressed-out and they look well-fed. I've tried other sitters before but they aren't as conscientious as FuzzyWuzzy. I have and will continue to recommend Cheryl & John of FW, to my friends, colleagues, and neighbors and I continue to give them the stamp of approval!

I've observed this for months to make sure I'm being fair and accurate. I have NEVER seen the dogs playing or doing anything but standing at the closed door and BARKING at it. The floor is slippery (not great for dogs running or playing) and I have NEVER seen a human supervising or engaging with the pets. The over 6-ft. high orange border on the windows obscures the view of what's going on (or not) inside. I would never want my dog in a place that has no regard for how the pets are spending their day: bored and obviously frustrated.

    100stars!- The Best Care for Our Pup!…read more We absolutely love the pawground! From the moment we walked in, we knew our dogs were in great hands! I own a dog rescue and we take all of our rescue pups here! Even my personal dogs come. The staff I can't say enough good things about them! They are incredibly friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about animals. Our dogs always comes home happy, tired from play, and beautifully groomed when we add on spa services. The facility is clean, well-organized, and safe, with plenty of space for the dogs to play and relax. I especially appreciate the regular updates and photos--it gives me such peace of mind knowing our pup is being well cared for while we're away. Whether it's for daycare, grooming, or just a little extra socialization, I can't recommend the Pawground enough. They treat every dog like family, and we're so grateful to have found them! Alisha the owner is now a dear friend and so helpful when it comes to anything related to our dogs needs! It's rare to find a facility in La with such a lovely personable experience where we can trust our dogs are really getting genuine good care!

When I asked if by chance he was given anything other than what I left (due to food allergies) I was told no.

Arzu has been with us through our different shift changes (from night shift, to day shift, to now working a regular 9-5 a week) and she's become almost like a member of the family. She has a flexible schedule and she is very reliable. There have been many times that she's been able to take care of our dog on short notice and emergencies. We are extremely grateful to her and can't thank her enough!

The first couple times we used Sitter4Paws we had a really great experience with the sitters that were assigned to our senior, diabetic cat. Last year, my mother unexpectedly passed away, and our regular cat sitter was unavailable for half of the trip home. We booked Sitter4Paws the second half of the trip, and let them know about the circumstances and requested sitters that had seen Jodie before so that we could rest easy during a very difficult time. Of course we know that can't always be accommodated due to scheduling, so for the first visit a new sitter came to see Jodie. On the evening of my mother's passing, we got a text from Sitter4Paws that the sitter felt he may have made a mistake with our cat's insulin dosage. It was revealed to us that instead of giving her her normal 2.25 unit dose, he gave her 22.5 units - ignoring the taped off/labeled syringes, our explicit written instructions in the app, and additional photos/diagrams of what a full syringe should look like. Thank god he realized his mistake, otherwise our cat would have slowly died alone in our apartment - and this would have happened immediately after losing my mom. I understand mistakes can happen, but the fact that a sitter was uncertain with potentially life-threatening medication if administered improperly and didn't even think to reach out to us first was quite shocking. Sitter4Paws took full responsibility, admitted their mistake, said they would take steps to make sure something like this would never happen again, and covered her 4 day ER stay, but it never should have gotten to that point. Again - we did have great sitters who took care of our cat wonderfully - but the uncertainty of who you can get especially with medication involved means that we can no longer recommend this service with confidence.

I was a bit worried about having to rely on antibiotics or heavier medications, but the team took a more holistic approach and worked with me to address the root of the problems.

I really appreciated how thoughtful and patient they were throughout the process, and how they took the time to explain things clearly. If you're looking for a vet that considers the bigger picture and supports your pet's overall health, this is a great place to go.

He received necessary procedures including blood transfusion to stabilize his condition. I did not want to leave him at ER for more tests and observations because I have never had any pets survived ER stays alive. We did receive medications from ER which seemed to be working and were told that he needed medical attention in order to survive. Since his regular vet was helpless, I decided to look into alternatives. I found this place on Yelp with raving reviews, and like most pet owners in desperate situations, I decided to give it a try. I first spoke with I believe her name was Lyric. She was very charming and well spoken, and made an appointment immediately. I also recieved a call from Yael after I emailed over my cat's medical records and was told that she thinks my cat simply had urinary track infection and she can help. During our visit, Yael and Lyric worked together and performed a basic exam, then I was told that we need a biofeedback scan which will tell us exactly what's going on. This " procedure " consist of sticking two wet pads somewhere on the underside of my cat, and the wires connected the wet pads to a laptop which supposedly would feed all the information to a program. I thought that seemed overly simple, but I was in a state of panic, I chose to believe it's some advanced science that I didn't understand. I was told that they will rush the result but it will be later that evening or next day. Then Yael proceeded to prescribe a list of remedies which is mostly supplements including a gar of homemade yogurt. The visit, including all the remedies I was told were necessary, came to just under $700. They also only accept cash or Zelle payments, no credit cards. The instruction I was given was to stop the medicationd from ER immediately and only take what was prescribed by Yael, and I did. At home, shortly after I gave my cat what Yael prescribed, he started vomiting violently and was visibly weaker. I call and told Yael what was happening and was met with loud, non-stop yelling, telling me that her remedies were right and I must follow her instructions. The biofeedback report showed pages of colorful breakdown and included readings of "pepsine secretion coefficient" and "small intestine peristalsis function" values, plus "protien metabolism value", "liver fat content value", plus kidney, lung function analysis, even blood circulation system analysis, etc. This program of theirs can read all these from two wet pad sticked to the skin of my cat? I ultimately decided to consult with a licensed vet, and luckily I found Dr. Sharp from a referral, and my cat's conditions improved without complications within days at a quarter of the cost. He is healthy and happy today. As pet parents, we are vulnerable to be taken advantage of when our pets become critically ill. I hope my experience is helpful to anyone in similar situation and can make proper decisions for both your pets and you.
