Wonderful, macaw sitter! I had to leave for urgent care and was extremely worried about my macaw…read more In the past, my macaw has had separation anxiety and has become very vocal when I was away. While I was gone this sitter sent me photos of my bird sleeping peacefully and told me she had been doing Reiki on him. She also San and read to him.Seeing him so calm and relaxed completely put my mind at ease. I was honestly surprised and deeply grateful. Her kindness, reliability, and ability to help my bird feel safe made a stressful situation so much better. I wouldn't hesitate to trust her with my macaw again. I highly recommend this sitter. Also, because of the effectiveness of the Reiki, on my bird, I plan to learn Reiki and use it myself on him.

A previous company would often decline requests and Sean has always been so relaxed to do business with. Even though he's not our dog walker, he's aware of our needs through the great job Esteban, our Little Buddies walker, performs for us. Our skittish Retriever, Goldie, couldn't be in safer hands. She can be a handful and we work together to keep her improving. They're direct and honest with communication, it's a mutually beneficial relationship. It has to be otherwise I'd go crazy at work. Goldie is our family and I'm so thankful with the service they provide.

Little Buddies comes with my HIGHEST recommendation!! We have been extremely happy with the…read moreservices provided by Sean and his team since we began having them walk our dogs in 2022. Sean is very communicative, organized, and knowledgeable and his love for and commitment to the animals he provides care for is obvious. We have never had any issues. The walkers have all been friendly, communicative, and send daily photos and updates of the walks. Our dogs specifically love Monique! One of our dogs is quite anxious but he warmed up to her immediately and they have a great bond. She is always taking them on fun adventures through our neighborhood. If you're looking for superior care for your pets, then I highly recommend Little Buddies!!

The team goes above and beyond making sure not only that the cats are well take care of, but they also gather our mail, have taken the garbage cans in on trash day and tidy up inside when the cats make a mess. Our three cats feel comfortable and safe with their Paws Play sitters. I appreciate and look forward to the photos they send with every visit and detailed updates. They communicate via a portal with all the cats' details and instructions uploaded + billing is clearly outlined and easily processed. Thank you Jessica, Erik and your entire team for taken care of our cats...whether it's an extended holiday or a short two-day getaway. We know they're always in good hands!

She was fantastic, even brought Cody a bag of toys and treats! Needless to say, they are top notch, professional, and responsive. We use an app, that allows us to get daily updates and photos and messages about our fur baby. They are always punctual and caring and I can not recommend them enough. Cats and dogs, it is not easy to find a cat sitter in San Diego, we no longer could depend on family and friends, so this was a huge weight off our shoulders, now that we have Paws Play, we can go away whenever we want and know that our cat will be well cared for. Thank you Jessica and Erik! We highly recommend them for your fur babies!

When I left town for 18 days I wasn't sure who to turn to take care of my two cats. After I…read morecontracted Fur The Love I asked a number of questions and set up the in home visit. After the visit I was assured I had picked a good pet sitter, but it wasn't until I was gone and started to receive the updates on each visit that made this business truly shine. What stood out to me most was how caring Maria was with my cats. She turned on Cat TV and Bird TV for them to watch and on top of that sent me super cute pictures of them so I could feel at home with them thousands of miles away. A+ business and service, and affordable on top of that! I'll for sure be using Fur The Love again, as I travel a lot, and I would highly recommend them for anyone looking for a responsible pet sitter to take care of their fur babies while out of town.

I was a new client and thought I had Christine lined up to watch my cats over the holidays. But since I did not fill out a very lengthy client profile page COMPLETELY prior to our meet-and-greet (no matter it was mostly complete and two weeks prior to the actual pet sitting appt AND that we had confirmed the appts verbally a couple days before with no mention of this), she cancelled on me. I can appreciate the need for certain policies and her attention to detail (as I'm sure it is applied to pet care as well) but just prefer a pet sitter who is more easy-going and much easier to work with. I am also looking for one who does not charge a key return fee--I don't like the idea of giving someone my house keys to 'keep on hand' or paying them just to get them back.

I moved here from Minneapolis in January 2014 and had a loving, devoted dog walker back home. I was so worried about finding someone new who I could trust in my home and trust with my sweet little sheltie, Miss Ryan. I'm single and occasionally travel, so I also need someone who can take her when I'm out of town. Christine and I had an instant connection, and even more importantly, she and my sweet little dog had the same connection. She does geo-location check ins and status updates with Instagram and Facebook, which is great for me to see my dog on her Facebook page, but also a wonderful and practical use of social media marketing. If you need a dog walker in La Mesa, I cannot recommend Pridey Girl Pet Care enough. :)

Even "Sorceress of Paws" just doesn't have the right ring. Kind and polite, Tevia is the consummate professional. She does what she says she's going to do, and she does it when she says she is going to do it. She is businesslike without being cold. At the same time, she takes extra time getting to know shy animals and she always makes a friend of it quickly. When I go on vacation I'll have her come take care of things and know I can relax, enjoy my vacation and feel like things are secure at home. I think that's the magic of Wizard of Paws.

THIS WOMAN LIES…read more After my yelp review, she emailed us claiming that the mobile numbers she had on file for me and for my fiance might have been outdated, thus we would not have received any updates. My fiance has had the same number for the past seven years. While my number did change about a year ago, SHE HAS BEEN IN TOUCH WITH BOTH OF US VIA TEXT MESSAGE since then regarding payment and key drop-offs. Seriously?! Why does this woman refuse to take responsibility for her negligence?! She also waited until after my review to offer $34 off of our bill as compensation to fix our carpet. Who in San Diego can properly remove pet odors/stains from carpet in two rooms for that low of a price? As an aside, I do need to make a correction. We've used her services four times and the level of communication deteriorated each time: 1st time: We received an email update, no text message. 2nd time: No email. I received an update via text message and my fiance received nothing. 3rd time: No email and no text message. Nothing but a note. 4th time: No email and no text message. Nothing but a note and dog poop everywhere. Why did she stop communicating with us? From this, I can only speculate how little she cared about us as clients and I call into question how much she even cares about our pets...but oh, SHE DEFINITELY CARES ABOUT GETTING PAID. And to address the previous review, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH OUR DOG that would cause her to go all over our home. Our veterinarian can vouch for that. She has no behavioral problems. What this boils down to is a lack of communication and accountability. We do not want someone like that taking care of the ones we love.

Angie has been absolutely fantastic with my fur girl. She's incredibly personable, kind,…read moreprofessional, and respectful. Her rates are very fair for the area. As soon as I started a text exchange with her to inquire about her services, I got very positive vibes from her, which were validated when we had our meet and greet. I could see her experience from the questions that she asked and the information that she proactively gave me. Angie comes within the planned window every day and is extremely communicative about scheduling and the walk. She's so respectful about making sure to accommodate any requests (no shoes inside, wiping paws, etc). I'm usually not at home when Angie comes, but there have been occasions where I still ask her to come when I'm working from home, if I have back to back mid-day meetings. You can tell just how much my dog LOVES her by the way she rushes to the door. It's so sweet how they have their little routine and my dog has definitely accepted Angie (and her adorable kids!) as part of her "pack."
