Charlie in healthier days.

Dr. Cody is the quintessential cat doc. Most vets I have been to, while very competent, are more experienced with canines. Dr. Cody is a specialist in feline medicine and understands cats. The staff is engaged, empathetic, courteous and efficient. Charlie has been diabetic for nearly a dozen years. Now he is battling inflammatory bowel disease. I feel he is in good hands with Dr. Cody. I highly recommend him to anyone who loves their cat(s).

Soft Kitty
Robin S.

This will be my last review for a long while because our beloved Soft Kitty went to be with her sister Hard Kitty last week. Soft stopped eating and was struggling so we made an emergency visit to see Doctor Cody. After our detailed feedback, his examination and her age (18 1/2) he diagnosed her with kidney failure. Dr. Cody did not recommend additional testing but we requested some bloodwork just to confirm. We appreciated Dr. Cody not pushing costly tests on an already difficult situation. The tests confirmed his diagnosis and we made plans to bring her back in a couple of days to have her put to sleep. Right when we walked in Christine ushered us into the love room (that's what I call it) which we greatly appreciate. We loved Soft up and when it was time Dr Cody came into the room. He genuinely shared his condolences and sat on the ground next to Soft and petted her. He told us that it was a selfless thing to do and it was the right thing to do. Soft went peacefully and we are grateful for all of the warmth and kindness shown by Dr. Cody, Drew and Christine and the entire staff! RIP Soft Kitty

Soft Kitty and Friends
Robin S.

We were able to get a last-minute appointment with Dr. Cody for our 18-year-old cat who was vomiting and had other worrisome symptoms. We were going out of town for two weeks the very next day so we weren't sure what the outcome was going to be. After Dr. Cody recommended a few tests it turned out that Soft Kitty had pancreatitis and needed medication and hydration. We decided to leave Soft Kitty at The Cat Doctor for two weeks so that she could get the care that she needed. We called every couple of days to get an update from Christine and Drew and they were always very helpful. Although we live in Las Vegas and Simi Valley we choose to go to Thousand Oaks to The Cat Doctor because they specialize in cats and because of the great Yelp reviews. Don't hesitate.

I am so grateful for Dr. Cody and his team. For the decade that I've had my cat I had taken her somewhere else, I wish I had known about The Cat Doctor sooner. If you want a team of people who will love and care about your cat like you do, then I highly recommend going here. They take their time and even provide a full summary about your visit. Any time I call they are patient and go above and beyond to help answer my questions. My cat's comfort zone is her bed so the team even lets her stay in it while they treat her thanks for taking such great care of Olive!

Dr Cody & his staff are very kind & have great bedside manners! My cat does not like dogs & used to have anxiety when it came to her yearly physical exam but after doing research on the nearest cat only doctor she no longer has as much anxiety as before. Both her & I have a great experience going to the vet! The prices in my opinion are very reasonable.

Jon Doe waiting for his results at "The Cat Doctor"

2 hours ago I called my regular Vet/ER at 11am to see if I could bring in my cat. I also called two other emergency vet hospitals and a backup vet to see if I could bring my cat in for a possible UTI. The regular Vet/ER's were unable to to see any animals as they were without an emergency vet on duty. They gave me the name of another VET ER. Called them, they had an 8 hour backup of patients and referred me to the vet I had just called. Long story short, called "The Cat Doctor" on a chance. Christine answered, heard my problem, took my number and said I'll call u right back, I'll check with the Doctor and see if he can make a spot to see the cat. They were booked a week out. Christine made it happen, we got Jon Doe in, and they treated him with great care! Turns out he has become diabetic. So grateful to Doc Cody, Christine and the entire staff! They went above and beyond!

One of the best vets I've been to. I love the cats only environment. It's calmer and quieter and my cats have been less stressed going to the vet. Their prices are reasonable and I love they are cat focused. This is my new vet for sure. My 19 year old cat has never felt better! I highly recommend the solensia shot for your arthritic cats. He's young again!

We had to euthanize our cat, unfortunately. This business was very compassionate and we felt well taken care of. Highly recommended.

I recently had the pleasure of hiring Natalya to take care of my cats while I was out of town, and…read moreI cannot recommend her highly enough. My cats, who are quite high maintenance, absolutely adored her. We recently got a new kitten who is very young and temperamental and she adapted to Natalya instantly. My older cat fell ill with a URI and eye ulcer, and Natalya went above and beyond by promptly taking him to the vet and administering difficult medication. Her professionalism and genuine care for my pets were evident throughout the entire experience. She kept me informed every step of the way, providing updates on his condition and treatment. Our kitten also had several accidents all over our carpet and Natalya detail cleaned the areas which was really above and beyond. I know that cat sitting for us is not the easiest given all the issues we had while we were gone but she handled it like a champ and truly put us at ease during our vacation. I felt like she was a family member of ours. Additionally, she recommended a new vet, who turned out to be excellent and much more efficient and affordable than my previous vet. Thanks to her suggestion, my cats are receiving top-notch care, and I now have a fantastic veterinary clinic to rely on in the future. Natalya truly exceeded my expectations, and I am incredibly grateful for her dedication and compassion. If you're looking for a pet sitter who will go the extra mile for your furry family members, look no further than Natalya. I will not use anyone else other than Natalya to sit for us. For Natalya - Louis and Delilah love you so much and cannot wait for your next visit!

I am very attached to my sweet cat and he has kidney disease amongst other conditions, so he has a regimen of prescription diet and medications that need to be followed. Natalya provides regular thorough updates with pictures of my pet, follows care instructions easily, pays attention to my cat's behavior very well, and is incredibly caring towards my cat. My pet loves when Natalya comes for cat sitting and feels very comfortable around her. When I'm away on vacation, I am actually able to relax knowing that my pet is in the care of Natalya. Thank you to True Friends Pet Care! I will continue booking with this trustworthy local business.

The sitters who watched my cat took detailed notes and lots of photos, there was great detail in the reports. The sitters followed my instructions to a tee. We had an issue with my lockbox but they were so gracious and kind as we worked through it together. They spoiled him in his last days. On the final day it was reported my kitty had thrown up. When I got home he had not improved and I brought him to the vet. Unfortunately, his cancer had spread and I had to say goodbye. This had nothing to do with the care VPS gave Archer. In fact, I think the care they gave him helped him wait for me. When I am ready for a furry friend again, I will be using this company and will recommend them to all my friends.

I panicked. I kept thinking I made the wrong decision because I had several business trips planned, and several days at work where I just couldn't be at home to let him out for a potty break and keep consistency with his time to play, rest, and potty train. I heard about Valley Pet Sitting years ago when I had my first precious boy, but although I called them, it turned out I didn't need them because I had family that could pitch in when I was away. They literally saved my life with my new puppy. They come to the house and give me a play-by-play of everything they did with my puppy (including taking pictures and videos of him playing in the backyard with them) on their app. They also use a Gio tag so you can see where they are when you pooch goes for a walk or just plays in the backyard. The sitters are kind, knowledgeable, and thorough. They asked me every detail about how I take care of him and what's important to me in my home to make sure they don't leave anything disturbed. They even called to make sure that it was OK for him to be on the couch when he made a decision to take a nap during a visit. They are exceedingly responsive and reasonably price for the quality of care and peace of mind I get from their support. I love this company and will certainly be recommending them to friends and family in need of Pet Sitting.
