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.

We are very happy w/the above & beyond service we received from Melinda's excellent staff Kat &…read moreRick! 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. I cannot say enough good things about the care Diesel received, it was perfect. He is def missing his new friends at stay and play! 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! Thank you for taking such great care of us, you're the best

I almost hate to write this review because I don't want to share Barb with others. That's my…read moreselfish self talking. The truth is, Barb has been our overnight pet sitter for over seven years because she is reliable, responsible, good with our dogs and we can count on her to take care of our pups and our home when we are away. We are comforted to know that our dogs are in their own home while we are away. Give Barb a call if you are in need of someone to take care of your pups in the convenience of your home.

Barb King listened carefully to what we wanted for our kitties while we were on vacation. This was…read morethe first time we had used her. She came over twice a day, and spent about 30 minutes during each visit. Not only did she feed the cats and clean the litter boxes, she took time to play with them. She also brought in any packages that were on the porch, and walked down the street to our mailbox, and got our mail each day. She kept in touch with us and even sent us photos of the kitties when she visited. I would definitely recommend her!

Kristy is a true gem! She takes care of my two girls as if they were her own. I am so thankful that…read moreshe was suggested to me by my previous pet sitter. I wholeheartedly trust her with my two dogs, who are basically my children, and in my home. I have a four-year-old husky mix and a four year old American Staffordshire terrier mix. She is so great with both of them. They each have their own little quirks and she makes sure to treat them as individual dogs and address their individual needs. She is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I don't know what I would do without her!

I know they will not only get more than well taken care of but they also spend time visiting, talking and playing with them! I have been using Kristie's for years and I more than recommend them when you need your loved animals extremely well taken care of when you're away. I wish there was room for more than five stars!

My dogs live for this hotel. I swear they think it's their personal vacation home. They get to go…read moreoutside, run around, play, and of course do their favorite activity of all time--sunbathing like they're retired celebrities. We always request the outside kennel because it's roomy, protected from the weather, and basically their dream suite. They stretch out, roll around, and act like they're on an all‑inclusive resort package. The second I turn onto the road leading to the hotel, all heck breaks loose in the back seat. They're scrambling, whining, trying to launch themselves out of the car like I'm driving them to Disneyland. And when we walk inside? Oh, they don't just enter. They strut. They walk in like they own the deed to the building, nod at the staff like "yes, yes, our usual room please," and then march straight to their kennel as if they're checking into their penthouse. Honestly, I'm just the chauffeur at this point

We've used Homeland Pet Hotel for dog boarding several times now and it's consistently excellent…read more They are incredibly accommodating and have even saved us with a few last-minute bookings when we were in a pinch. It's a top-notch facility that gives us total peace of mind while we're away. They also offer other services like grooming, which we haven't tried yet but definitely plan to next time we have a long stay.

I've sent my mini Sheltie puppy to Kat's in-home Board and Train program twice now and she has done…read morean OUTSTANDING job with him!! He first went for 7 nights when he was 4.5 months old and again for a 3 night refresher to reinforce existing skills and learn an important new command once he was more mentally mature at 7 months old. Kat took the time to really understand his lifestyle and shape his training goals with me ahead of both stays and both times we got back a happy, healthy and focused pup who loves to show off his tricks and manners! He was understandably a little nervous the first time we dropped him off but the second time he was thrilled to be back, which just shows how much fun he had there with her!! You can tell that Kat cares deeply about the dogs she works with and I'm so glad we found her out here in the desert. I highly recommend the customizable board and train service to provide structure, fundamentals and/or personalized learning (then you just need to stay consistent at home continuing to reinforce the new skills). Thank you Kat for all you've taught Ozzie - we will definitely be back!

What a relief it is to be gone a week on vacation returning home to a very content 18 year old cat…read more( that we always think is dying) and a year and a half old dog that acted like I just returned from the market. How fortunate to find Kat and her team who are professional, provided great communication, pictures and videos, and I had a worry free time away. From the moment my pets met Kat, she commanded instant respect. Kat has that magic that animal respond to. My dog Bella watched her like a hawk and did everything she asked when she said it. Even things I didn't think she would understand! I realized in that moment my dog has been ignoring me! LOL Go ahead book your stay with Kat now, I already booked our next trip with her. I selfishly almost didn't want to share her if you know what I mean.

She sent frequent updates, photos, and videos of their day, which completely put our minds at ease while we were on vacation.

We couldn't be happier and will absolutely be using her again. Highly recommend!

My dog got very ill while I was out of town (seems to be related to a virus and has nothing to do…read morewith Sheri). 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!!
