About 9 months ago, I reached out to Kelsey needing cat sitting for my 13 year old cat, Zeus. By the meet and greet, I knew Kelsey was going to be amazing. She was able to instantly bond with Zeus and leave an amazing first impression! She has been great at taking care of him for me while I go on week long trips for my work in Minneapolis and also visiting family out in California. She always sends photos to me and tells me updates everyday while I am out of town. In November, she mentioned to me that Zeus was drinking too much water and recommended I get him looked at by a vet. When I took Zeus in, the vet diagnosed him with feline diabetes. I would not have been able to get him diagnosed as quickly if it were not for Kelsey looking out for me and his best interests. Kelsey has been also to help with administering insulin for me while I am gone so he is able to be his happy and healthy self while I am gone. Since his diagnosis, she has been great at sending me updates on his water intake and any medical issues that arises. Kelsey is a honest, hard working woman with a passion for all animals. She is dedicated to ensuring all animals in her care are taken care of and loved while their owners are away. I would recommend her to any person in the area who needs someone to take care of their animals. Normally I get very anxious leaving Zeus while I travel. With Kelsey, she has been able to elevate any concerns that I have and make me feel comfortable with traveling anywhere in the US (and Canada!). read more

PeeWee's Playdates - A black and white cat is lying on a green blanket that is spread over a piece of furniture, possibly a couch or chair. The cat is looking directly at the camera with wide eyes, with its front paws extended forward and one paw hanging off the edge of the blanket. The surrounding area includes a textured, multicolored carpet and part of the furniture's armrest. The blanket appears soft and slightly wrinkled. - Dog Walkers Near Me

Kelsey's care for our two cats is first rate. She is 100% reliable - her attention makes a difference as evidenced by our "re-entry" (coming home) is like it never happened. She is always polite and accommodating when I throw a change at her - Almost as important is her timely communication - so appreciated. read more

best pet sitter ever! our dog and cats love kelsey! she is a pet expert and takes such good care of our pet! highest recommendation! read more

Reliable, caring, efficient, loving... as your own superlatives. Kelsey is an excellent provider!

We have been working with Kelsey since 2017 and she has been absolutely amazing. She comes by for an hour to play and spend time with our cats whenever we're away on vacation because our cats get very lonely when we're gone. You can tell Kelsey is someone who truly enjoys animals and she gives us the impression she appreciates our animals as much as we do so it is comforting to know they're in such great hands. She is very organized and always confirms our appointments ahead of time, makes sure to send a picture to us each day, and even sweeps the floor so we don't come back to a bunch of pet hair! If she is ever busy and can't fit us in (which is seldom because she works so hard) and we have to use someone else temporarily, we can always tell the service is slightly poorer so we always keep coming back! read more

Kelsey is an absolute WONDERFUL human being and cat sitter. If I could give her 6 stars I would. She is responsible, communicative, caring and organized. Because of all these fabulous qualities I'd HIGHLY recommend reaching out to her in advance when you are in need of pet care as she books up quickly (especially around holidays!) read more

Our family feels so grateful and blessed we found Kelsey over a year ago, we all LOVE her! She is trustworthy, detail oriented, communicates,honest,compassionate and conscientious. Kelsey also is willing to administer RX for our dog or rabbit when needed with tender loving care. The comfort she brings our whole family is priceless! I would highly recommend using PeeWee Playdates! read more

Highly recommended! Kelsey and her team at PeeWee's Playdates took great care of our older dog when we were gone. They sent emailed confirmations prior to pet sitting and axtually sent text message pictures when we were gone. Our dog was very timid and shy but PeeWees always sat with, and made him feel comfortable and would play if he felt like it. They even cleaned up the flooring whether he had "an issue" or not. Upon our return there was always a heartfelt, well put together note of what happened and how our boy did. Just great and sweet people. I found them on Yelp, and couldn't have been happier with their service! Thank you! read more

I've relied on PeeWee's Play Dates for all my in-home, pet sitting needs for several years. They are terrific! Kelsey and Carissa never miss a thing when it comes to my fur kids. They follow care instructions to the letter, elevate play time to include massive one-on-one quality time with each pet (regardless of how many), are in tune with the emotional needs of our furry ones, and send periodic updates via text and photos while I'm on travel. PeeWee's is first class in my book and I highly recommend this service for all your pet sitting or walking needs! read more

Rusty loves his daily lunch dates with Carissa and Zach! They leave detailed notes everyday and let us know how the walk went. Carissa always let's us know if Rusty has a rash or allergies (bad skin) or any other behavior that is out of the norm. Kelsey is great and super flexible if we need to cancel unexpectedly. Prices are great. Rusty is happy! We are happy! read more

Kelsey is amazing. I initially made contact to have her watch my kitten. When my travel increased and I needed someone overnight she worked to make something affordable. Later, when my kitten was sick she took care of her as her own. She is reliable and cares about the animals as much as their owners. read more

I am a past client of PeeWee's Playdates as I have received services from them more than once - (despite the owner lying by saying otherwise). With that said, I have rewritten my review due to the additional unprofessionalism I have experienced again from PeeWee's / Kelsey, and my additional comments have been added in the last paragraph covering how the business owner, Kelsey, commented on my review by lying about giving me services (which she has given me more than once) and how she has harassed me via messages. I honestly do NOT want to give this agency one star...I would prefer to give zero! I am just appalled at their lack of professionalism...and to be fair I should not say "their" because the incompetence and unprofessionalism came from one person named Kelsey. I arranged to have a petsitter, and the sitter informed me that she would send me emails (while I was on vacation) to keep me up to date about my pet. Unfortunately, while I was trying to enjoy my vacation the petsitter kept sending me emails about how my pet does not respond to her, etc. and the emails were very rude and unprofessional. I was irritated in her lack of competence to handle the situation as a so-called "certified petsitter" because she originally informed me that she knew how to handle all pet emergencies/issues but apparently not! I was also irritated with the fact that the sitter my pet had before was not the same one doing the petsitting this time around because everyone knows that it takes some pets a longer time to warm up to new people...duh! Isn't that Petsitting 101? Well due to the countless annoying, incompetent emails she kept sending me while I was on vacation I simply responded to her one last email then immediately blocked her from my email account because she was being a nuisance, so I don't know if she responded to me or not because she got blocked and I flagged her as spam. Lol all I know is that when I got home from vacation I saw that she left a long note on the table, and I tore it up and threw it in the trash without reading it because I did not feel like dealing with her lack of competence any longer...and besides I was tired from my plane ride and did not feel like reading the essay that she wrote. If you are looking for a petsitter that is responsible and skilled to handle all animal situations and if you're looking to not be harassed by your petsitter while you're out of town then do NOT rely on PeeWee's Playdates. Instead, go through a Petco-sponsored agency like I do now. They are SO much more reliable and highly trained in all pet situations then these privately-owned wannabe petsitting companies like PeeWees. As a business, it is the responsibility of the employees and owners to always remain professional and ethical which means that they should not lie or harass current or former clients! Well, Kelsey (employee/owner of PeeWee's), has taken it upon herself to contact me via her personal Yelp account to message and harass me when I have already expressed that I do not want any communication and no further services from her or her company. She then took it upon herself to lie and state that she never provided me petsitting services when she has provided this service to me more than once, and I have all the online transactions to prove it! I am not sure why Kelsey thinks that harassing a former client and lying about providing services is proper business etiquette. However, as an agent of PeeWee's (or any entity) if a client is not satisfied with your level of services then it's that employee's/owner's responsibility to apologize and remain professional. I think that this employee's lack of maturity and lack of business etiquette is to blame for her continued unprofessionalism and dishonesty; however, that is no excuse! Because if you choose to own, operate, or be employed by a company than it is your responsibility to remain ethical at all times. Kelsey, also messaged me stating that I have her business confused with another - um, yeah right! Sorry but there is no other PeeWee's Playdates in Orange County with an employee named Kelsey! So no confusion at all but nice try! As noted my HEADLINE and other yelpers headlines insinuate - "it's best to be nice cause you never know who is a yelper!" Yelp was created so that customers could review companies in a good or bad but honest manner. I choose to exercise that right. When a business receives a good review that is great, and when a company receives a bad review that is also okay because sometimes employees do not do their jobs accurately or are highly unprofessional... and due to that it is their responsibility to try to make it right with a customer as opposed to lying or harassing them. With that said...I do not recommend this petsitting company at all. I believe going with a Petco-sponsored company is much better than dealing with a privately owned company since the level of responsibility and skills are higher. read more

PeeWee's Playdates - Proof! Back of 1 of the checks that Kelsey or her employee signed proving I was a client even though Kelsey lied about me not being a client - Dog Walkers Near Me

We love PeeWees Play Dates. They have been walking my 10 year old, Scout for almost a year. We have the same walker, Tyler, and he ALWAYS leaves me a note about how the walk went. He is very attentive both to Scout's age and to weather related issues. When there is a shorter walk because of weather or Scout getting tired, Tyler spends additional time playing with Scout indoors (or sometimes just rubbing his belly). In addition, he's helped Scout socialize with other dogs in the complex. Just today, I needed to stay home from work at the last minute. I let Kelsey know and it was NO problem and NO charge. When I've needed to change my work schedule, that's been no problem. One of the best parts is the occasional picture that Tyler sends me while I'm at work. I love my pup dearly and trust him in the caring and dependable hands of PeeWee Play Dates. read more

PeeWee's Playdates - Scout on a walk with Tyler from PeeWees Play Dates. - Dog Walkers Near Me

Peewee playdates is an awesome petsitting service. She goes above and beyond to take care of the pets - making sure they not only get their meds, food, and other necessities but also gives them quality play and snuggle time. The pets seem to really enjoy their time with Peewee playdates visits. Our Yorkie usually has a difficult time with us going out of town and can be extra needy when we return, but she always seems happy after visits with Peewee playdates. This last visit in particular, peewee playdates took extra care in taking care of our yorkie when she got an upset stomach. She was great about communicating with us and adjusting our pup's diet to help her tummy issues resolve themselves. Peewee has great communication, she checks in with us on visits, sends pics, and a description of the visit which I greatly appreciate. She always goes above and beyond to give the pets the best care she can during her visits. read more

We have been pleased with the dog sitting service that Kelsey's team provided in the last two year. Our furry kid Ella is 95 pound Rottweiler who is shy but full of energy, Kelsey's team were able to keep her happy and occupied with the walk and fetch game while we were away for vacation. They also left a note everyday and emailed us from time to time to keep us informed about Ella's situation, which helped an ease of mind without checking any minute from our end. We definitely will continue to use Kelsey's service/ referral in the future :) read more

I have two fantastic (yet sometimes stubborn!) Basset hounds named Scooby and Rufus. Every once in a while I'll have a chance to get out of town, sometimes spontaneously, and there is no way I would kennel my dogs at a vet or other place. I want them to be comfortable at home! Who ya gonna call? Peewee's Playdates! Kelsey loves my dogs and even puts up with their slobber :) Even last minute, Kelsey is able to accommodate us, and she promptly returns my calls, texts, or emails within 5-10 minutes. Her prices are competitive. Knowing how organized, responsive, and flexible she is with her clients, I'd even be willing to pay a few bucks more for the great peace of mind that comes with her services. If you are looking for an excellent pet sitter, look no further. read more

I'm one of "those" pet moms -- you know the kind: nervous leaving behind her baby with people she doesn't really know and even more wary of the ones she doesn't. I've been known to type up pages (yes, pages plural) of detailed instructions concerning "the care and feeding of Duchess" for the few family members and friends I've trusted to take care of my dog. When I realized I'd be going out of town for 5 days straight, I needed to come up with an alternative option. I didn't want to burden my pet-loving friends (especially the ones who have cats since Duchess does not make nice with them), and I didn't feel like I could trust other people to be as conscientious as I am with regard to my dog's escape artist tendencies, so I started to research other options. My research led me to Kelsey and Peewee's Playdates and the many fantastic reviews she had. Thank you, fellow reviewers, because I couldn't be happier with her service. The idea that my pet could stay within the comfort of our own home, without having to be stuck in a tiny kennel for hours on end really appealed to me. I worried that since my dog was a shelter rescue that leaving her in a kennel for a few days on end might convince her that I'd abandoned her, and so I scheduled the initial meeting with Kelsey. Everything went really well, and in early August, I went away on a weekend trip while Kelsey took care of her. She took great care of Duchess while I was away. Kelsey is conscious of my concerns and takes great care to ensure that Duchess continues to have her routine. She left a little note telling me how Duchess did while I was gone, and Kelsey communicated with me regularly via text message whenever I wanted to know how Duchess was doing. Kelsey is such an observant pet sitter/dog walker, that she even texted me to let me know that she had found a flea on Duchess and to ask where I put her flea prevention meds. She was kind enough to apply one of her own dog's flea medications (they are in the same weight class) since I was out -- which took care of the issue right away. I came home to a happy, well-exercised dog and was so thrilled to have found someone else I can trust to care for my dog. In October, I was gone for 5 days. Kelsey and Jason again took excellent care of Duchess. Again, Kelsey responded quickly whenever I texted to check up on Duchess, and again, I came home to a well-exercised and super happy dog! I even took a picture and sent it to Kelsey to show her how excited and happy my dog was after 5 days of fantastic care! I would recommend Kelsey to anyone with a pet. She and her team are truly animal lovers and my dog is genuinely well treated and cared for. I couldn't really ask for anything more! While I would be worried that someone else might lose my dog (because, as I said, she's a RUNNER), I have 100% confidence in Kelsey and her team to take such excellent care of Duchess that I have zero anxiety when I go on trips. As a one of "those" pet moms, I think that's saying a lot. :) read more

Best dog walker/sitter ever! I've been using Peewee's Playdates for about six months, and Kelsey and her team take excellent care of my dog every day, leaving me thorough notes of what they did. They also do little things that I haven't asked of them, but are much appreciated, like topping off my dog's water and bringing notices inside. The best part is my dog LOVES them! They play with him and love on him as much as I do. When I went out of town for a weekend, I was concerned about moving the dog, cat, and rabbit to board at the vet. It was so much easier to ask Kelsey and her team to stay over each night. They left my apartment better than I had. Everything was clean and tidy, and all of the animals were happy and pretty unconcerned that I had been gone. They even texted me pictures of the animals so I knew they were all right. I've never been able to find a better dog walker or pet sitter anywhere, and I'm so glad that I found this team of great, animal-loving people to take care of my fur-babies! read more

We love PeeWee Playdates. We have used their service for nearly 2 years more so when we got our senior girl who needed more stable walks throughout the day when my husband and I are at work. We have 2 Shiba Inus and they are just our whole world and crazy as can be. So we are nuts about them and their safety and barely trust them with anyone but ourselves. However, we just felt good about meeting with PeeWee (Kelsey) and she gained our trust quickly. They always left a note. They were always available for communication and left detailed messages of what they did. Eventually, our girl was able to get on our routine and we don't have to use PeeWee anymore but we DID use them for our wedding in October when we needed someone reliable and trustworthy to stay with our dogs while we and visiting family were in and out of the house most the morning. We just trust their work and their love for animals so much. So, overall, if you're crazy obsessed with your pets like we are and just don't feel right about leaving them with just anyone-trust that PeeWee Playdates will take good care of your fur babies! read more

I don't have the easiest, nor friendliest of dogs. One of them in particular hates strangers and is pretty high maintenance. So needless to say, I was a bit worried about finding a dog sitting service. My worrying quickly faded when I saw how much my two pups warmed up to both Felicia and Kelsey. During trips she sends a bunch of pics or videos of everyone playing and they just seem so happy. It really takes the guilt out of those occasional trips where we can't take the dogs. During the week when I'm at work either Felicia or Kelsey come by for 20 minutes for potty breaks and play time. Felicia leaves really cute notes that I love reading, tops off their water and cleans up their potty. I really don't know what I would do without them. read more

PeeWee's Playdates - Dog Walkers Near Me

What a great service. I learned that Kelsey ran a nice business back on the east coast but has relocated to Fullerton. She is professional and great with dogs....DUH! The daily walk in addition to coming home to a nice note with a #1 or #2 report was not only great for the dog, but highly entertaining to read each night. read more

It's been over 5 years now and Kelsey and her terrific team continue to do an excellent job of keeping up with our now older dachshund Moses. His care now includes giving him his medications, feeding him his special diet food and making sure he's taken very good care of overall. We're glad to have Kelsey and PeeWee's Playdates professional services to make our life so much less complicated. They are always on time and we can count on them to see Moses when we are attending social events or when we travel to see family. When we come home Moses doesn't seem like he's missed us at all. He's so happy and well adjusted its hard to tell that we've even been away by the way he acts. We continue to recommend PeeWee's Playdates to all of our friends and we're glad to have them here in our area. They are a Top Class service provider and we're glad to have them working with us and Moses. read more

Kelsey is by far the best pet sitter we have had in the last 20 years.. Our dogs absolutely loved her and were so happy and relaxed when she was in charge. She is incredibly responsible and careful and totally reliable and trustworthy. She checked in regularly and sent us photos and updates. We are so happy to have found Kelsey; she sets the standard for all other pet sitters, in my book. As we look for our next puppy, we've already asked to her hold us a spot. read more

I have been using Kelsey for many years now to care for my cat. I feel very lucky to have found such a dependable (& nice) person. She always responds quickly and is very accommodating to any requests. She is the best at keeping me informed about my kitty with pictures and text messages. I have had other pet people and they just don't compare to Kelsey. Thank you Kelsey, you are much appreciated! read more

Kelsey at PeeWee's is a social life saver!! I am so happy I found her. I know can go out again and not worry about my dogs at all. Kelsey has it covered! I can text her and she shows up and takes care of my dogs with the same love and attention that I would. She makes It is very easy to set up a walk or feedings or what ever you need quickly and hassle free. I have three crazy dogs and she handles them all like a pro. She brings in the paper, will leave a light on and even cleaned up the poop in the yard if needed she also leaves reports of her visits which are hilarious (especially for my dogs cause they are nuts). She goes above and beyond. Give her a try. You won't regret it. read more

We've been using Kelsey and PeeWee's for almost a year now and we just love her. More importantly our fur babies, Rafi and Ruxin love her! Kelsey is professional, reliable and treats our dogs like they were her own. I can't recommend her more highly! read more

I'm a little... overly attached to my dogs. They're quirky bastards that make me nuts, but I love them so much that there's occasional sharing of cereal spoons. For years, I didn't trust anyone to watch them while I'm away-- so I never took vacations. Then we met Kelsey and Carissa. Kelsey is fabulous to work with in terms of scheduling, keeping good contact, and staying up to date. The real gem is Carissa. She's so great to our puppies-- and to us. She gives us regular updates while she stays overnight with our fuzzy babies, and we always come home to dogs that are happy and well taken care of. If you're looking for someone to trust with your pups, I highly recommend Kelsey and Carissa. read more

We had Kelsey and Carissa for almost 1 year now and Oreo LOVES them. We live in a condo with no yard and we have 9-5 job, Peewee team is definitely live safer for my dog Oreo. They are always here for Her and willing to accommodate our schedule (including last min scheduling). Walking sessions including feeding, patting, playtime and bonding time. Highly recommend anybody can't be home for their dog on weekdays to take them out to pee, they are here for your dog with LOVE. You will love their services. read more

Thank you Kelsey for taking such good care of Cooper, he barely missed us while we were gone. I was worried that Cooper would be sad since this was the first time we would be away from him for an extended period. I appreciate that Kelsey took extra steps such as making sure our air conditioner was on when the weather heated up. She is very organized and reliable! I received updates on Cooper daily, as well as photos of them on walks. read more

Kelsey is a great walker for our little buddy. She is prompt and knows dogs really well. We love the notes she leaves for us detailing what they did during the walks. She works with our schedule and our dog gets great exercise with her. need a dog walker? call kelsey..... read more

Kelsey and her crew has been watching our pets (dog, cat, fish and plants) for over 3 years. I can't say enough about what a great job she's done. Very attentive to details. She takes the mail and newspaper in, waters the plants and pays special attention to the pets. One time earlier this year, when I forgot to leave the key for her, I called from the airport and we worked out a plan where she took a ladder out of the garage and climbed into a second floor window to get into the house and retrieve the key! Talk about going the extra mile. Very professional and no worries when out of town. read more

My family has a very quirky greyhound. (I am not sure if quirky is the best word, I could say "neurotic" or "needy"...) We also have two cats who let us live in their house. I have been using PeeWee's Playdates for more than a year to help take care of my animals when I am not at home. All of my animals are rescues and I am very particular about how they are taken care of. Our dog has a schedule for when and where he is walked and when he is fed because it makes him feel more secure. Since he has a very sensitive stomach, I often need to adjust what he is fed, so that he doesn't keep me up all night wanting to go outside. Kelsey and her staff are meticulous about following my instructions and reporting back to me about how my animals behaved on the visit. What is even more important though is the fact that my animals are happy when they have been visited by Kelsey, Carissa, and other members of her staff. I know that when PeeWee's Playdates comes for a visit, my animals will be calm and happy when I get home. I have peace of mind knowing that they will be taken care of by people who truly care about them. I also appreciate the fact that Kelsey has been so great at accommodating last minute requests for help. I have used other services and they just don't compare to the professional and truly caring people at PeeWee's Playdates. read more

I used PeeWee's Playdates (specifically Kelsey) for an overnight visit for our 2 dogs and 1 senior cat. They are very high maintenance since we give them a ton of attention all the time. She was great! She gave my cat his medicine, sent us picture texts, and left a note with how the visit went. It's great that we have someone that treats our pets like they do their own. I would recommend PeeWee's Playdates to everyone! read more

We have two cats, an African Grey parrot and one very needy miniature poodle... Kelsey was just awesome with all of them. When we travel with our with our dog and leave the rest our family at home, Kelsey steps right in and takes care the rest of the clan. We love how much she cares and treats our pets as her own. read more

Kelsey and her staff provide 100% TLC for our 2 Ratties! We appreciate all the personal attention she and her staff give from the walks to administering eye drops to wiping up the mud on the hardwood floors, before we return home. Now that's above and beyond to the call of duty...but we really appreciate that! When I text Kelsey about a last minute visit, she always responds ASAP, and is so accommodating get our pets into her already busy schedule. Our dogs, Rocky and Coco, definitely do much better staying at home with Kelsey and her staff, instead of being boarded in a kennel. We're lucky to have met Kelsey from our other neighbor who raved about her services! Give her a call! read more

We have been clients of Kelsey for over a year now both for overnight vacation stays and daily lunchtime walk visits. Her service is amazing. She is always attentive, quick to respond, understanding of our pets' individual personalities, and incredibly warm and loving to them. Our chihuahua is not a people loving dog. Kelsey and her staff (Estelle and now Felicia) took the time to patiently acclimate him to new people in his space and he absolutely adores them all. We feel more secure with having someone visit daily and definitely staying overnight while we are out of town. We've never had any issue with keys, privacy, or worrying about the fur babies. Felicia or Kelsey stop by everyday to give our older fur babies a potty break, food time, and midday loves. We get a quick note to let us know how things went. It makes our evenings so much better. read more

We can't say enough good things about PeeWee's Playdates. From the first time we met Kelsey, we knew our dog, Charlie, would like her (the fact that he jumped up on her lap the very first time she was here was a big clue). We have used them for dog walking as well as spending the night. Both worked very well and we would not hesitate in recommending them for any pet care needs. read more

I had not had a dog walker since my puppy Logan was a puppy. She is the peter pan of yellow labs, never wanting to grow up! Being disabled, I needed help with my high-spirited dog. I researched dog waljkers online, and liked what Kelsey had to say. We met and I hired her on the spot!! I was her first California customer! Kelsey is sweet and professional. She wants to please her clients but she also wants to please the pups in her care by encouraging them to use up that "puppy energy" having fun ! I absolutely recommend "Pee Wees Playdates" !!! read more

PeeWee's has been our pet sitter for years. I don't know what we would do without them. Our three dogs normally have a difficult time warming up to people, but they immediately loved the two sitters who come to our house. When we leave for the day, weekend, or a week, we know our pups are well taken care of. PeeWee's is very dependable and keeps the lines of communication open. We receive text updates and hand-written notes. We even receive pictures. PeeWee's will also do little extras, like feeding fish and bringing in the mail. They have even swept the walkway. We couldn't be happier with the services of this company. read more

My mini schnauzer, Barley, highly recommends PeeWee's Playdates. And I do too! We've been using Kelsey's dog walking and overnight pup sitting services for about 4 months now, since we moved to the area. Kelsey is awesome - professional, flexible, very reliable, and overall a great person! I've even called her up several times last minute for weekend walks (sorry Kelsey!) and she's accommodated every time. If you're looking for a dog walker/sitter, PeeWee's is where it's at! read more
