They sent a sitter over for a consultation, where we walked her through the house, showed her where everything was, what the cat's habits were, let her meet the cat, etc Then away we went. Needless to say I couldn't be more thrilled with how it all went. Not only did the girl feed the cat, play with the cat, clean the litter, etc, she also watered our plants, brought in our mail, took out the garbage, swept up the cat fur upstairs, etc Really went above and beyond. And every day she would leave a voicemail on this system they have setup, which then uses Google Talk to translate the vmail into an email, which is auto-sent to me, which I could check on my iPad while overseas to keep on with the progress. On top of all this, they were WAYYYY cheaper than the old cat sitter we used to use when we lived in the Annex. Overall top notch. Highly recommended. They will totally be our pet sitters going forward.

The cats seem way happier when we have Sommer look in on them whilst we are away. I will book with them forever!

Raisa and Mitch who own and operate Cats Pyjamas are hands down the BEST!…read more I have been living in Toronto with my two cats while working for the past 6months. It was really expensive and traumatizing to fly my cats here from Los Angeles and I certainly could not fly them back and forth over the holidays, so I was faced with finding a pet sitting service that was affordable and trust worthy. I was stressed out about the whole ordeal until I came across Cats Pyjamas. I contacted them and set up a "meet & greet" before booking them and to my surprise it was a huge relief! There was some paperwork involved which I found to be thorough and thoughtful. It literally covers everything and it's nice to know that they want the best for your pet(S) while your away. Raisa and Mitch are friendly and respectful. I walked them through feeding routines, toys, etc. and they took notes! I had no hesitation handing over the keys to my place and care of my cats. They emailed me with photos, videos and everything my cats were up to while I was away. I had no doubt that upon my return everything would be as I left it...and of course it was! I exclusively use Cats Pyjamas because the level of quality and care is exceptional. They are worth every cent and more. Great people who love and care for your pets the way you would.

I can book times, pay invoices, receive updates, and send and receive messages through their app, which makes this the simplest and most efficient petsitting company I've ever worked with. Sarah and Jake's friendliness and professionalism is the real draw though. I know my cat is in good hands with them, and they take the stress out of the process, leaving me free to enjoy my travel.

After…read morereading the website and seeing that they were insured, bonded, and pet first aid certified, we knew that we found the right provider. Over the last year, Sarah has become an indispensable petsitter for our 2 cats. She's extremely reliable, organized, and professional - a total pleasure to work with. I'm pretty OCD when it comes to our cats, so I can't believe that we've found someone as detail oriented and caring as Sarah to look after them when we're not around! Getting set up with PetsGo was pretty painless. We had an initial meet and greet at our house to introduce the cats, go over the forms, and provide a copy of our keys. The intake paperwork was extensive which really helped put my mind at ease that PetsGo would have all the right info and preferences of our cats. My favourite part about the service is that Sarah takes the time to send daily updates and photos (great for my peace of mind). She even noticed that our cats had shaved patches of fur (from a recent vet visit we forgot to inform her about) and kept an eye on them in case they became an issue. This is definitely high-quality service for a reasonable price! Most recently, after returning from our 2-week vacation, our cats were calmly snoozing like we never even left. They were definitely well-fed and well-exercised during our absence! The house was also spotless... possibly cleaner than we left it (Sarah took out the recycling and cat poo garbage, de-fuzzed our furniture, and somehow there were no hairball tumbleweeds everywhere. Magical!) We would highly recommend Sarah and PetsGo to anyone who is lucky enough to be in the service area!

I decided to use their cat sitting services based on the good reviews posted by other Yelpers. Yvette is such a sweet person. Before we went on vacation she came to meet me and my cat and they seemed to get along very well. I could tell that Yvette loves and cares for all animals very much based on the way she responded to my cat. I also knew that she had a cat of her own so there wasn't much instruction required. I knew that she would take good care of her. During our vacation Yvette sent us with an e-mail update on how Ellie was doing. It was very nice and thoughtful of her to do so as it brought us peace of mind while we were away. Ellie was a happy kitty when we came home and I would definitely use Tail Blazer's services again for future vacations. Great service. Great business. Very reliable. I would reccomend to anyone that needs a cat sitter.

I found out about the service on Yelp. At first, I was very nervous about using a cat sitting service and leaving my four cats (and my home) in the care of a stranger. However, after meeting Charlene, all of my concerns were put to rest. I can't emphasize enough how wonderful it was to receive daily updates (with photos!) of my cats while I was away. I was able to completely relax on my vacation knowing that my cats were getting the food/water/clean litter/attention that they deserve. It was also nice knowing that I would be contacted immediately if there was a problem. Coming home from my trip was also a very pleasant experience -- clean litter -- no smell! I was able to focus on loving my cats rather than spending 30 minutes cleaning the litter and trying to air out the place :) I will continue to use Cat Sitter Toronto services going forward, and would highly recommend this service to others. If you have any doubts, book an appointment and meet the cat sitter. This is a professional business run by someone who really cares.

Since…read morethen, it's been difficult for me to go on vacation as it is very hard to find a cat sitter who can administer insulin to my cat OJ. It's also hard to leave him in the care of someone else. I found Cat Sitter Toronto on Yelp and it has been such a blessing! I moved to the beaches last year and spent so much time trying to find a good, trustworthy sitter. Charlene is just that! I hired her for the first time when I went on a trip to Montreal for a few days and she definitely put my mind at ease with the amount of detail she put into ensuring both OJ and myself feel comfortable. She gave me an update after every visit and even took pics for me. She also didn't make any decisions without running it by me first. OJ didn't need insulin for one of the visits and she confirmed with me first before making any decisions. If that were someone else, they probably would have given him insulin anyway even if his sugar was too low, which would have endangered his life. She's simply amazing! And she cares! She knows what she's doing and her attention to detail is something that anyone with a cat with special needs requires. No need to worry because she knows what she's doing! And even booking online was a breeze! Will definitely hire her over and over again!

Jeff is an amazing trainer who really loves dogs and having my dogs spend time at Pack of Paws is the best treat I have ever given them. (Molly not only comes back visibly happier with a very calm satified energy, Jeff takes his time explaning training methods and gives tips and pointers on what I can do on my own time Molly) So far only one of my dogs have spent time there and the change I saw in her was immediate (positive changes). She always comes back super content, a little tired (from the exercise and playing) and ready to nap and cuddle. I am going to start sending my other dog to the day care so she can enjoy the benefits of working with Jeff and his pack. I very much recommend this if you need training or if you simply want a good place for your pooch to hang out during the day when you're at work (or even if you simply want your pup to play with other dogs and go for an amazing group walk with Jeff on his rollerblades) This is the most satisfied I've ever been with ANY service I have come across in all my life. update: both my dogs have now been going to pack of paws for a month now and they are so well behaved and so happy. my finicky little one is a lot more respectful and actually comes when we call her.

It ended up being the right choice.

THANK YOU! Thank you Mellow Vibes…read more We were referred here by a friend of ours who had a dog with aggression issues so we saw first hand what Mellow Vibes could do! Our dog, unlike most the dogs that I've seen in the reviews, is on the other end of the spectrum. Kaia is a 5, almost 6, year old husky/shepherd mix who has anxiety and fear and had zero socialization with the outside world and people. We adopted her at 4 years old and at that point, she was terrified of people and the world. Zero aggression, terrified of the world and a consistent flight risk. She would shut down when she saw people. If she could, she would make herself disappear from the world. Cowering, shaking, bolting, tail permanently tucked. Anything to get away. She couldn't function. We were having trouble bonding with her in the full year we had her because she was just so scared. Walks with her were full of dragging and bolting. She's pulled myself and my boyfriend over before when she was in a panic. She was incredibly stubborn with her commands. We eventually bit the bullet and contacted Mellow Vibes. They were the first trainer (and people in general) we talked to that did not judge what we did. The amount of times we heard from other trainers and people that we should not do this or that with our dog out of our desperation to build a bond with her (like letting her sleep on the bed with us or on furniture). They were the first trainers that understood where we came from and why we let her get away with certain things. We didn't feel judged for the first time or like we were being scolded. Instead, we got understanding and compassion. Paul spent 6 weeks with her. Let me tell you this, the amount of care and time he spent with her is astounding. Our dog was scared of EVERYONE but especially men, children and the elderly. Yet somehow, on our first meeting with Paul, she was calm. Paul kept us updated with her progress, pictures, videos, answering any of our questions or concerns. When it was finally time to pick her up, Paul trained us on his techniques of dealing with our dog's issues. We were met with a dog that listened to commands and when we did our walk with Paul, holy moly we were able to walk through the busy busy streets of downtown. Later that day, we were able to walk her through a busy park with so many screaming kids. We. Could. Never. Do. That. Before. EVER. She seemed to adore Paul, always looking back at him for reassurance and a bit of confidence. I almost felt bad taking her home haha. You could tell she was at ease with him and she was WELL LOVED in her time there. YOU DO NOT HELP A DOG LIKE OURS BY "BREAKING THEIR SPIRIT" OR ABUSING THEM. Now, I don't think our dog will ever be a people dog but we were taught how to manage her issues and she, herself, was slowly learning that people, objects, etc would not hurt her. At home now, she is generally a happier dog. More smiles, more tail wags, more following us around (she never wagged her tail or followed us around like this before). Mellow Vibes truly has helped her come out of her shell. They continue to follow up with us with messages, phone calls for more tips or to answer any of our questions. The rest is now up to us to keep up with the training and to continue to develop our relationship with her. You do not rehabilitate a dog like ours with anything but love, patience (oh so much patience) and compassion.
