We couldn't do without Phyllis and Pooch & Kitty! We have started to work with Phyllis when our…read morefirst dog Ferdinand was 8 months old. Ferdinand is a rescue dog, who was shy and scared of loud noises when we got him. He's now over 2 years old, a playful little dog, ready to walk (most of the time) and to have fun with other dogs. As much as I'd like to take credit for his progress, I think Phyllis have much more to do with it. Phyllis is a great dog walker. She never stopped working during the Pandemic, always mindful to tend to her pet friends while protecting herself and families. Making sure Ferdie had his daily walk with her was a life saver in the middle of homeschooling and remote working. Phyllis' love for animals is obvious. She helped us get Ferdie ready to walk with other dogs, always leaves detailed feedback if Ferdie is more anxious than usual. She also was a great support as we welcomed our third son back home last year, advising us on how to behave with Ferdie, and sharing some very helpful kid friendly videos for my two older kids so they learn to play safely with Ferdie. Ferdie is now very well adjusted to our family, and us to him. We feel very fortunate to have found Pooch and Kitty to help us transition from a family with two children and no pets, to a family of three children and a dog.

Hi Yelpers- This review is long overdue, but should be…read morehelpful to pet owners looking for care. Thanks to Pooch and Kitty for their services for nearly 10 years. My story starts with trying to find a cat sitter as I was travelling more a few times a year (domestic and foreign - as far as New Zealand), and my new cat (Sweet Pea, a Manx breed shelter cat) needed a friendly face every day while away. I tried a couple of services, but had very unprofessional experiences that made my home feel unsafe. Had to change the locks on the 2nd one- so weird. So now, on to the good news. I found Pooch and Kitty. The owner, Phyllis Klein is caring and highly professional. The intro is professional, chill, and started with an opportunity for the potential sitter to meet you and your pet, so that both parties are comfortable, and gave me the moment to communicate any building rules. Great. I have felt so happy and safe with the 2 sitters I had over the years. Thank you Serra, and most importantly, thank you Bonnie. Bonnie gave great daily updates (as I traveled the most during her time). Her recent observation on his eating led me to immediately decide that maybe he needs a random vet check in addition to the regular. He ultimately had lymphoma and I lost him months later. But if not for her simple observations communicated in the daily updates, I would not have noticed as quickly (the lack of separation during quarantine made it harder to notice small changes). As a result, I had more time than I would have, while treating his illness. Sweet Pea had caring friends with Pooch and Kitty. And I have all Bonnie's hilarious video updates, sometimes with silly filters which I loved! This is a great service that I recommend. They are lovely, and should be part of your pet sitting needs. The kind words from Phyllis and Bonnie after I let them know he didn't make it were comforting. Should I be fortunate to be a cat owner again, I will continue to be a client. Thanks for listening.

Amelia made the whole situation so much less stressful as my cat stayed at the B&B for a week while I apartment-hunted. I forgot Bear's food and Amelia obtained her specific dry food for her stay. I also had to move the pickup date around and Amelia was extremely flexible. She was very communicative and lovely and sent me text updates about Bear throughout the week to put my mind at ease. Very personal service and I would highly recommend!

Suzy has always been so understanding and really seems to know when our cat wants attention or just company without any pets or extra attention. Suzy would also send daily email updates and was very accommodating with medications. The room has a bed, window with a perch, litter box, scratching post, plenty of toys, relaxing music, and air conditioning in the summer. We had an initial meet and greet to make sure it would be a good fit, and Suzy is always forthcoming with recommendations and takes time to listen to our cat's needs whenever she is dropped off. I would highly recommend Cuddles and Tails if you're looking for a more personal touch with pet boarding.

Leaving a new kitten for the first time can be nerve-wracking, but Suzy went above and beyond to make both my kitten and me feel completely at ease. From the moment I dropped her off, I could tell this was a warm, clean, and safe environment where animals are genuinely loved. Suzy provided my kitten with a comfy, cozy space to sleep, tons of room to safely explore, and so many enrichment options -- including a variety of toys, a TV with animal-friendly programming, and even a real turtle that my kitten absolutely adored watching and interacting with! It's clear Suzy created this space to keep pets happy, engaged, and stimulated. What truly set this experience apart were the daily updates and photo report cards Suzy sent. Every day I received adorable photos and notes about my kitten's activities, moods, and even her growth over the week! It made me feel so connected and reassured to see her thriving while I was away. I could tell that Suzy treated my kitten like one of her own -- she wasn't just cared for, she was genuinely loved. If you're looking for a safe, nurturing, and fun place to board your pet, I wholeheartedly recommend Cuddles and Tails. Suzy is a true animal lover with a gift for making both pets and owners feel completely at ease. I will absolutely be using her services again in the future! Thank you Suzy!!!

We had a reactive dog name Athena, that Joanna was so good with. She also took care of our older pitbull Tyson while he was healthy and, during his last year, while he was going through treatment for his bladder cancer, Joanna didn't just take care of our dogs, she takes incredible, amazing care, putting her whole heart into it. It's so evident that she loves what she does and how much that puts us at ease. With Tyson, once he was sick, Joanna put him at ease, went at his pace and was so incredibly attuned to his needs. When he passed Joanna was there for US! Her caring and empathy means so much to me! We loved Joanna already and didn't even know we could love her even more. We adopted a puppy and Bella felt comfortable right away with Joanna. Like most puppies, Bella is still learning the ropes. She's also getting used to living in the city.
