Raisa and Mitch who own and operate Cats Pyjamas are hands down the BEST!…read more I have been living in Toronto with my two cats while working for the past 6months. It was really expensive and traumatizing to fly my cats here from Los Angeles and I certainly could not fly them back and forth over the holidays, so I was faced with finding a pet sitting service that was affordable and trust worthy. I was stressed out about the whole ordeal until I came across Cats Pyjamas. I contacted them and set up a "meet & greet" before booking them and to my surprise it was a huge relief! There was some paperwork involved which I found to be thorough and thoughtful. It literally covers everything and it's nice to know that they want the best for your pet(S) while your away. Raisa and Mitch are friendly and respectful. I walked them through feeding routines, toys, etc. and they took notes! I had no hesitation handing over the keys to my place and care of my cats. They emailed me with photos, videos and everything my cats were up to while I was away. I had no doubt that upon my return everything would be as I left it...and of course it was! I exclusively use Cats Pyjamas because the level of quality and care is exceptional. They are worth every cent and more. Great people who love and care for your pets the way you would.

Now we don't worry if we want to go away, because we know our cats will be well taken care of while we're gone. She even leaves little notes of what the cats did each day :) Now we recommend her to everyone in the East end. Her service area borders on Woodbine to the west, Eglinton to the north (in Scarborough) and Guildwood Village to the east.

They were very thorough with the initial consultation so I left knowing my cat would be in good hands. I got daily reports and pics during my vacation and it was comforting to know my beloved cat was well looked after. I still hire them, even after I moved to a completely new area. I highly recommend them, esp if you have pets with medical issues. My cat needs insulin twice a day and needs two visits. It costs me $30/visit but worth it as they are trained to do this! Declan left me a lovely note when I needed my pet looked after a couple months ago! I recommend him too if you live in Scarborough or the beaches!

They sent a sitter over for a consultation, where we walked her through the house, showed her where everything was, what the cat's habits were, let her meet the cat, etc Then away we went. Needless to say I couldn't be more thrilled with how it all went. Not only did the girl feed the cat, play with the cat, clean the litter, etc, she also watered our plants, brought in our mail, took out the garbage, swept up the cat fur upstairs, etc Really went above and beyond. And every day she would leave a voicemail on this system they have setup, which then uses Google Talk to translate the vmail into an email, which is auto-sent to me, which I could check on my iPad while overseas to keep on with the progress. On top of all this, they were WAYYYY cheaper than the old cat sitter we used to use when we lived in the Annex. Overall top notch. Highly recommended. They will totally be our pet sitters going forward.

Unfortunately I did not had a good experience with this business for daycare. The owner told me my…read moredog has separation anxiety and that they are "not a babysitting service". I explained that he is used to having a human around when he's with other dogs and not used to being left alone with dogs so that's likely why he's anxious and wants to be around a human. He is also active and needs stimulation and exercise - they take the dogs for a short 15 minute walk and play at a nearby dog park but then return and leave the dogs in a room which I believe is often unattended, After purchasing a package, she told me that I need to bring him daily to get him accustomed which I understand, but I explained to her that is not in my budget or need. She insinuated that she didn't want to take him again. She didn't offer me a refund or compensation for my package and I found the way she spoke to me was unprofessional and uncourteous. In my opinion, this wasn't much of a daycare, just a place to leave your dog for the day with minimal engagement. I used to take my dog to BFF and they were much more engaging and pleasant.

I've been using Mike for about 4 months now and he is absolutely fantastic…read more First off, the bar is set higher for someone you trust not only in your home but to take good care of your pets. I trust Mike implicitly with access to my house (where I am still very slowly moving in) and have credit cards and the like all over the place. Second, since dogs have "business" to do outside it's very important that your dog walker is reliable. My dog will have her bladder burst rather than going in the house. I know I can trust Mike to not only take appointments when I need them but that can be relied upon to show up. He also will give a walk report to you in text letting you know if your dog eliminated and how things went in general. He has never once missed a walk and he is great about taking on extra walks on short notice. Moreover the prices compared to the rest of the market are really great. My dog is a problem dog and Mike gives off a confident energy that I know I can trust if problems should arise. It is clear just from the way his energy is that he knows dogs. That's a really hippy thing to say but having known dog trainers and walkers over the years there's a certain presence and Mike has it. He has also been kind enough to bring up dog food delivered to my porch free of charge which I truly appreciate. That is not his job. Recently when I was away on a trip he even boarded her free of charge as he noticed she was destroying my house while I was away. I honestly can't say enough good things about Good Boys. UPDATE: MY DOG IS FIXED! I have spent thousands (literally) on many different dog trainers over the years trying to fix my dog's severe anxiety aggression. For years she was unable to interact with other dogs without someone(s) going to the vet or humans (me and others) going to the hospital. Now with Mike's help, she's totally fine. I can't say how happy I am. If you have a problem pet that you love....you gotta try Good Boys UPDATE 2: 2/4/16: Still using Mike. You're not gonna get a better dog walker at his price or any price.

From the moment…read morehe walked through the door he exuded a calm, confident energy that is critical around large dogs. My husband and I have 2 Rotties with very different personalities. One is lazy but wary of human strangers while the other is high energy and moderately dog aggressive, but both of them loved Michael immediately. Not only does he balance the needs/capacity of our two very different dogs, he somehow managed to socialize our trouble child with other dogs and sent us pictures to prove it! He successfully took them for pack walks; I wouldn't have believed it unless I'd seen it with my own eyes. Michael is amazing! He's responds quickly to text messages and is flexible with re-schedule/adding walks. He's even thoughtful and kind enough to bring in packages from our doorstep if anything's been delivered during the day. Knowing that he's fully bonded & insured made the choice a no-brainer. Handing over your house keys to a complete stranger can be difficult, so knowing that Michael is fully covered is icing on the cake. He has a flexible payment schedule and accepts eTransfers.

I can book times, pay invoices, receive updates, and send and receive messages through their app, which makes this the simplest and most efficient petsitting company I've ever worked with. Sarah and Jake's friendliness and professionalism is the real draw though. I know my cat is in good hands with them, and they take the stress out of the process, leaving me free to enjoy my travel.

After…read morereading the website and seeing that they were insured, bonded, and pet first aid certified, we knew that we found the right provider. Over the last year, Sarah has become an indispensable petsitter for our 2 cats. She's extremely reliable, organized, and professional - a total pleasure to work with. I'm pretty OCD when it comes to our cats, so I can't believe that we've found someone as detail oriented and caring as Sarah to look after them when we're not around! Getting set up with PetsGo was pretty painless. We had an initial meet and greet at our house to introduce the cats, go over the forms, and provide a copy of our keys. The intake paperwork was extensive which really helped put my mind at ease that PetsGo would have all the right info and preferences of our cats. My favourite part about the service is that Sarah takes the time to send daily updates and photos (great for my peace of mind). She even noticed that our cats had shaved patches of fur (from a recent vet visit we forgot to inform her about) and kept an eye on them in case they became an issue. This is definitely high-quality service for a reasonable price! Most recently, after returning from our 2-week vacation, our cats were calmly snoozing like we never even left. They were definitely well-fed and well-exercised during our absence! The house was also spotless... possibly cleaner than we left it (Sarah took out the recycling and cat poo garbage, de-fuzzed our furniture, and somehow there were no hairball tumbleweeds everywhere. Magical!) We would highly recommend Sarah and PetsGo to anyone who is lucky enough to be in the service area!
