To say that I was extremely anxious to leave my babies (and home) in the hands of someone new for…read morethe very first time is an understatement. Casey Booram with Stay & Play Pet Sitting made my life and my babies' lives so much easier & stress-free For context, my dogs have stayed in a pet boarding in a prior city an hour away from our current residence. We needed to find a new place to watch our babies. I found Melinda (the business-owner) through networking & she got me connected right away with one of her specialists that lived closer to my area. We had our meet & greet meeting, and I could instantly tell that Casey had an amazing heart & had decades years of working with animals to back her up. Casey texted us throughout all the drop-ins (we were gone for a weekend) sent photos of our happy pups, and gave us a very detailed recap of their progress and state of the dogs after each visit. There's no price to put on the peace of mind that Casey was able to provide us and the thoughtful care she put into the time with my fur babies. She went the extra mile when she had no obligation to (staying an extra 30 mins past the scheduled time to earn the trust of my very skeptical, cautious, and anxious Chi). When it comes to pet boarding, it's very difficult to get live status updates + feel secure in how your dogs are doing. Being able to leave them at home and know that all their needs are being met while still being able to enjoy my vacation was a great experience. If you're someone in the area that has ever needed a reliable, experienced, and thoughful pet sitter -- don't hesistate to connect with Stay & Play Pet Sitting.

This business made us feel confident to rely on them to care for our dog while on vacation. We loved their attention to detail, & professionalism paired w/awesome people.

They do a great job w/updates, pictures, & even completing helpful tasks. I'm genuinely excited for our next trip or day away so we can book them again!

We are beyond grateful that we found Sheri. She is an absolutely amazing in-home dog sitter and…read moretruly went above and beyond for us. She sent frequent updates, photos, and videos of their day, which completely put our minds at ease while we were on vacation. Knowing our dog was happy, well cared for, and loved allowed us to actually relax and enjoy our trip without any stress or worry. It's clear Sheri genuinely cares, and that makes all the difference. We couldn't be happier and will absolutely be using her again. Highly recommend!

Sheri immediately notified me and went above and beyond to make sure nothing happened to my girl. She sat with her at the vet from 9am - 3pm and updated me every step of the process. This could've been a very bad outcome if she was with any other sitter, but Sheri's diligence and expertise are the reason my dog did not get seriously harmed. As a dog mom this was my worst nightmare come true, and I'm convinced if any other dog sitter was with her I would not have come home to her alive. Sheri is the only pet-sitter I would trust in the Temecula area, especially after this experience. Thank you again for everything!!

We…read morereached out to another boarding facility, but Great Oak Kennels was the only one that allowed us to submit an application without a meet-and-greet. It was a huge blessing, considering we wouldn't be able to drive down for one before our wedding. In general, we were reluctant to leave our two pups, Milo and Enzo, at a boarding facility for the first time because we have never left them in another person's care who wasn't a relative. But we are so glad we did and that we had a wonderful experience! Naomi took great care of them for 4 days. She was very responsive, professional, understanding, and most importantly, kind. She gave them all the attention, love and care they seek and need. We were impressed with her clean facility and were relieved that she was able to separate the two dogs during meal time as requested. She was easy to work with when it came to the dogs' specific schedule and instructions, and she was very open and flexible to our needs when it came to pick-up and drop-off. We trusted her so much that we even extended their stay by one day! She was fantastic and we are so glad we know who to go to again for future dog boarding needs.

For the second sitting it was for 4 nights and they did not pick up the dog waste. One of my dogs went in the kennel in her own waste. Not sure if she showed up accordingly. We were not happy with her services. She only wants to take care of the easy dogs. I honestly worry that she has her 8-10 year old daughter assisting with animals as she was too young and seemed dangerous. We did have issues communicating as she didn't want to specify dates and seemed very unclear. Be cautious as there is some liability to take on.
