My pup, ChiChi, has always been a bit anxious around new people, but when we met our pet sitter at the meet and greet, which cost us nothing by the way, I felt very comfortable with them and so did ChiChi. I could tell that they genuinely cared about animals and took the time to understand my and ChiChi's needs. Our dog walker was very friendly and professional. I do have to say ChiChi has throughly enjoyed the walks. She literally comes back happy, but also ready to take a nap, which is great since she's a high energy pup. Communication has also been top-notch. They send great updates and photos after each walk, and if I'm not home they even make sure her water bowl is filled. Love that! If you're a pet parent in Westlake, I highly recommend checking them out! ChiChi and I are grateful for their amazing service and friendly staff! Thank you for being so awesome!

We love the convenient web site which lets us put in our reservations well in advance, too. The prices are very competitive with other services we looked at.

We can't be more thrilled with the level of service and care Susan gave us and our kitties! We now know we can head out on a trip and the fur-kids will be home in their own environment and taken care of!! Thanks again to Susan for taking care of Zephy and Zavi!! You are the very best!!!

A lot had happened since the last time we left town without our pets, namely a cardiac hemangiosarcoma diagnosis for my Husky, so I was a bit nervous to leave him for 2 nights. Ally and MJ watched all 3 of our fur kiddos, and followed our instructions to a T, including administering life-saving medications for my husky and arthritis meds for my Chow mix. Their detailed updates through the app made me feel so relieved about leaving them in TLDOM's care. The pets were perfectly content when we returned home! TLDOM is the best in the pet sitting game, and we will continue to use their services in the future.

There's a reason this business has all 5-star reviews. You won't regret using them for your pet care needs!

Brian, the owner of Pawstin, and his wife were truly a joy to work with, and gave us much-needed…read morepeace of mind during a very special event. My now-wife and I retained Pawstin for our wedding evening, during which they were tasked with bringing our dogs to our wedding venue to stand at the altar with us, and then take them back home for feeding and a walk afterwards (not to mention, be at the ready in case they needed a quick exit if being too rowdy!). As you can imagine, the day-of had potential to cause stress and plenty of potential mishaps, but Pawstin gave us the peace of mind that our fur-babies would be cared for before and after the ceremony. We were able to enjoy the festivities without a single worry, and were so incredibly happy that the dogs arrived with minimal stress (they are typically always a little wound up) and were able to sit calm and happy with us! Of special note is the importance to Pawstin in making sure that both you and your pups feel comfortable with them. The day before our wedding, the found a time that worked for both of us and stopped by for a few minutes to meet the babies and get a lay of the land. I think this is super important so that they are not meeting your babies for the first time when you aren't there. I cannot recommend them more highly, and would absolutely feel confident in recommending them to others or using them again ourselves when necessary! Thank you Pawstin so much for your help and for helping make our dream of having our babies be a special part of our wedding day come true!

My experience with Care.com was Horrible! When I signed up for the 12-month plan for dog sitters,…read moreI was charged $140.59. This is the only fee I was aware that I'd be charged. On top of that amount, I was charged $194.85. When I contacted Care.com about this charge, they reported that I selected a background check on the caregivers initiating that fee. I would never knowingly have selected a background check on their caregivers if the cost of $194.85 would be added to the already $149.59 charge to my card. When I contacted them, they made a blanket statement that they don't offer any refunds. Somewhere in their supposed fine print is a 3 day cancellation policy,... something else you don't readily see or know you should do. On top of these fees, you still pay premium pricing for the actual service! I wasn't able to secure a sitter for the dates I needed. All I received from Care.com is a very large bill!! I would give Care.com a negative 10 as a review on their scamming policies towards their new clients!!!!! I have to rate this company for my review to post. It is not an accurate rating, it was below "not good" When you try and rate care.com, it pulls up Pawstin, not the same company I'm reviewing.

Gusto Dogs is really the best! I first contacted Kristen when I moved downtown, and my biggest…read moreconcern was not being able to come home in the afternoons to take my dog out. Kristen and David (one of Gusto's dog walkers, and really, like, the greatest guy) came out to my apartment to meet my dog and set up a game plan. Everything clicked. I wasn't worried about not being there for my dog, and even more important, my dog was happy. But it's been all of the extra stuff that really makes these guys the best. 1) They're pros. These are not neighborhood kids trying to make extra money over the summer. I have absolutely no incidents to speak of. My dog is safe and happy when he's with them. 2) They go out of their way to provide the best service. Whenever I've had to make a last-minute change in my schedule, they've ALWAYS found a way to work around it so they can be there when I need them, even going so far as to rearrange their own schedules. One weekend, my fiance and I had overlapping trips and neither of us would be home for a 24-hour period. Kristen and the team were ready with a plan for swinging by throughout the day, making sure our dogs were fed, taken out, played with, and then put to bed. Oh, and my fiance's dog -- a very big ridgeback mix -- had just undergone serious knee surgery and had a strict medication schedule. No sweat for these guys. When I got home, everyone was happy and healthy. 3) Speaking of my fiance... it actually took me a little while to convince him that it was worth it to get his dog out for the daily walks. He had gone two years without needing someone to take his dog out in the afternoon, why pay someone to start doing it now? But it only took a week for us to notice a difference. His dog is BIG and VERY energetic, but with a 20-30 minute walk in the middle of the day, he's much calmer when we get home from work. Still a big barrel of fun and energy, but not running laps around the coffee table. 4) (And last one, promise) Our dogs love these guys. Their reaction when David shows up is hilarious. It's like their super-fun uncle just got there to take them out. As a dog owner, it makes me really happy to see my dog so happy. So, like I said, the Gusto team is amazing. We plan on using their services as long as they're offered (hopefully, forever). Could not recommend more highly.

We have utilized their services frequently for giving food, medicine, and lots of attention to our cats when we travel. I know that my sweet (and very affectionate) elder cat is in great hands when we are away from home, and am especially comforted when texts and pictures are sent letting me know that everything is ok. Gusto Dogs even has a special little helper who loves to give plenty of gentle pets when she has the chance to visit. They are insured, reliable, trustworthy, and so compassionate about animal care. I never worry for a second when we are away from home.

She returned to our house and let the workman in to do the repair on the same day.
