They do not return phone calls or emails. Literally not one email or phone call back. Our family was looking for a pet sitter and thought this business would be a perfect fit given the good reviews and location. Contacted the company through its website once, twice via email and called during business hours but no answer. I'm guessing they're either out of business or no longer taking new customers and ignoring them instead. Don't waste your time. read more

WSP loves our dogs as if they were their own. We've had numerous WSP employees come for potty breaks and walks, and our dogs have really taken to each of them, which for our rescues isn't always the case. Another plus with them is the online billing system. For a lot of small business dog walkers/pet-sitters, this isn't an option, but is a nice plus for us. Responses on booking requests are always prompt, and as some reviewers have said, they over communicate--which is always great when you're putting your furry family members in someone else's hands. read more

Like most pet owners, we wouldn't trust just anyone to take care of our two dogs, but upon meeting Cassie I knew they would be in good hands. Cassie has taken care of our dogs a few times while we've had to be out of town. She always sends a text with a photo of our dogs, and it's surprising how comforting that is. She also leaves a written note with details about their visit. It's adorable. It's so great to be able to submit a quick service request online, and within a day or two have confirmation via email that our sitter is available, the billing is taken care of, and we are all set. The prices are good too, but the peace of mind that our little guys have been walked, fed, and have received lots of love while we are away is truly priceless. read more

Probably not in business anymore but if they are they don't return phone calls or emails.

Thank you to Karli with Walk Stay Play. Our puppies so happy with her love and care while we were visiting family in San Francisco. So great to know they are well taken care of!! read more

Jen and her team are AWESOME. I could end my review there as that's all that really needs to be said but I won't..... We have been using WSP every week for almost 8 months now and are extremely happy with the array of services we receive. We have 2 rescue dogs one of which has some issues with strangers and other dogs. From the moment we met with Jen she understood how to act around a dog with these issues, in fact she had her taking treats from her hand within 10 minutes which was amazing. We felt immediately at ease with Jen and trusted her not only with our dogs but with giving her a key to our home too. We have in the past had some issues with other 'dog people' who have been less than honest about their practices which added additional concern to us when we moved into the Ventura county area, these concerns were immediately wiped out when we started using WSP. It has always been a worry to us how we can adequately care for our rescue dogs (when we are at work) when one of them does 'issues' with strangers initially. We were worried no-one would be prepared to give them a chance. Jen was more than willing to help us with her and has in fact assisted greatly in training her with many of her anxieties and has helped her develop trust in numerous new people and situations. We have during the time working with WSP had 3 ppl walk our dogs, we have Jen being the main person and then 2 backup people (our little guy loves Sasha!!). She has always spent time introducing the backup people to the dogs and accompanying them on walks to ensure they follow the systems we have in our house and to make sure they understand our dogs and walk them correctly. All the people Jen has working for her seem to be real animal lovers and very trustworthy. It gives us peace of mind to know that the dogs will always be cared for and that WSP has our needs covered. Our dogs have also boarded with Jen or several occasions, we have always felt very comfortable with the treatment Jen provides and that they are having a great vacation with her whilst we are away on ours!! She always sends texts, photos and videos of 'the kids' and they are always having a great time!! There have been times since we got our 2nd rescue where we have had incidents between the 2 dogs whilst they were figuring out who was the alpha! On one early occasion they did have a fight one evening at our home which was very distressing to me and my partner. We didn't know how to deal with it or what to do - the next day we called Jen. She came over immediately to help us. She has such a calming yet assertive energy that made me regain my confidence in the situation and helped us greatly. Within 10 minutes she had provided the leadership the dogs needed to play happily together again, we have had no problems since that day after following her guidance. I have said numerous times she is way more than a dog sitter/Walker/Carer she has a true understanding of how dogs think and what they need. She really should do dog training too, she is more than capable!! Our pups get super excited when they see her and her team which we think speaks volumes for the care and attention they receive. Her business is extremely well run and organized. Jens system for invoicing and payments is easy to understand and the online functions are great. We can always review our schedule which she sends out and amend as we need to We love the WSP notebook they gave us which they fill in after each walk or daycare so we know how the kids did and what they got up to, great idea. They also text us so we know they got picked up and walked which sets our mind at ease. WSP always go the extra yard. Nothing is a problem to them and they always accommodate our needs. Our pups get super excited when they see Jen and her team which we think speaks volumes for the care and attention they receive - your can't fake that. Above all Jen is a really lovely, kind and helpful woman who we would both now call a friend. I would recommend her services to anyone who loves their pups as much as we do. In our eyes we would be totally lost without WSP. They are the best. Thanks so much read more

I contacted WSP in a bit of a pickle. All my regular bunny-sitters weren't available and I needed to leave town in just a few short days. With all the good reviews on Yelp, I thought I'd see if they could handle something other than dogs and cats. Jen was quick to respond and I immediately felt comfortable after learning about their process for matching sitters to pets. They asked questions about my routine and personalities of my animals and was able to set me up with Laura who had experience with rabbits. I had an initial meeting with Laura and showed her the ropes. While I was gone she texted me each day to confirm that the buns were doing good. I'm so happy with the quality of the service! I'll definitely be using them again. read more

This is a truly professional, reliable pet sitting company. Since Joe (my Rhodesian Ridgeback - for those of you who don't know) is my constant companion and cherished pet, I had a lot of trepidation about hiring someone to walk him. I usually walk Joe daily, but I wanted someone to come once a week, during the work week, to give me a little break to run errands after work, etc., without skimping on the daily walk. Walk Stay Play (WSP) will ask you to fill out some forms and they want details. They also do an intake to meet you and evaluate your pet - in your home. Jen's goal is that you have the right "sitter" and that the sitter and the dog are a match. She also wants to ensure the safely of her employees, so she'll want to meet you and the other people who may reside with you. I get that and respect it. So, I hired them. Tiffany is Joe's sitter and he just adores her. Here's what you can expect from Walk Stay Play: 1. A professional company with high standards and integrity. They'll earn your trust and you will experience the peace of mind all loving pet owners need. 2. Reliability. Tiffany is right on time, cheerful, careful, attentive and professional. She texts me pics of Joe during his walks with her and boy, does he look happy! 3. Convenience. Just give them 24 hours notice if you need to change the time and they usually can accommodate - although of course they have strict guidelines about scheduling and cancellations - it's not a free for all. 4. Prices are very reasonable and they'll just charge your credit card and provide you with a statement prior to doing so. They offer all kinds of services. If I ever have to go out of town for work or play, I would completely trust them to take care of my baby. If you're looking for a dog walker, cat caretaker, puppy potty break helper, etc., look no further. You will not find anyone better. Joe and I love Walk Stay Play and you and your pet will too! Woof! read more

WSP is the absolute best for your pets. I am so thankful that I found them. I cannot say enough good things about Jen and her wonderful staff. I found Jen and WSP from a referral/friend who had used their services for her cat. She spoke highly of them and now I know why. I had unfortunate experiences with other walkers in the past who forgot to come, kennels that were overpriced and my dog came home ill, etc. I have a high standard of service and WSP has exceeded it! I had meet-n-greets with the walkers and my dogs and a full consultation with each of them in my home, before we began services. I felt completely comfortable leaving my basset and saint bernard with all of super sweet ladies who I could tell, loved animals. My basset had some prior health issues and all of the sitters listened and took careful notes for her meds, etc. and took extra special care of her until she was well. They are always there when I need them. A few times I have had to ask for last minute help and I am always accommodated with nothing but kind, friendly service. I have had a few of their sitters care my my girls. Laura, Talia, and Evelyn are excellent and been so good to my doggies. They treat them like I do with love and affection and care. They are prompt and leave me notes about their visits so I know how my girls did when I was away. It's so nice to have them come to my home rather than having to take them somewhere else. There is always an alternate for the schedule just in case someone can't make it that day (with notice of course) for some reason. How great is that? I always know that someone wonderful will be here and loving my dogs. I highly recommend them to anyone who cares about their fur-kids and wants them to be well taken care of. We will be clients for life. I trust no one else to take care of my babes! read more

Jen is fantastic - my dogs love her, she gives them individual attention, and I get a note for when I come home telling me how the walk for the day went. If there's something to note specially, she sends me a text. I'm really grateful that I was able to find someone so great with my pets! A really nice feature is that they do boarding/over-night sitting - I hate leaving my dogs with people that they don't know. read more

We've been using WalkStayPlay for a couple years now and absolutely love them. They are very reliable, and always take such great care of our two kitties. Even if we have to go away unexpectedly, I can count on them to help! For me, it's weird to have people in my home when I'm away, but I feel completely at ease with WalkStayPlay taking care of things. I highly recommend them. read more

Suzy and Rachel were our sitters and they were great. From the introductory visit of meet and greet owner and dogs, to receiving notes about out our pups and photos of them playing while we were away, everything was taken care of. Our dogs didn't have to board and they had between one and two visits a day from WSP depending on our daughter's work hours. The girls went the extra mile, taking our reluctant little dog out into the big wide world for a walk, and cleaning up the puppy pee pad he destroyed and threw around the house! Usually my larger dog doesn't eat in the kennels, but he was nice and chubby when we returned from our holiday so he was obviously happy with WSP visiting. Even the neighboring doggy walkers we see daily were impressed when they met the WSP girls walking our dogs. Due to Suzy and Rachel's efforts we will definitely be using WSP's services again. It is easier on the dogs to keep them settled at home, plus it is much cheaper than boarding! Win Win situation. read more

WSP has been loving my 4 legged children for over 10 yrs now, welcoming new arrivals and mourning our losses. Karli, Cassie and Cathy do such a great job that Mickey waits at the front door for them to come after we return! We have always have the sitters stay overnight and have never had a problem. We were truly lucky to find them. WSP is an important part of our family. read more

Kind, big-hearted, animal loving sitters. I'm so happy with sitters Lenae and Nate and the company in general. My anxious dogs and mischievous cat do so well with them. Easy, quick billing, many options for animal care. Always available to talk or schedule. read more

Walkstayplay sitters truly care about the pets in their care. Trustworthy and dependable!

Walk Stay Play saved us with their great service! We were so excited to bring our boxer dog home for the holidays but we needed a place to keep her during a Christmas party. Jen set us up with an amazing family in Newbury Park who was right around the corner from the place we were staying. Our dog loved it! She took to the sitter, Michael, and his family well because they were super friendly. She played the entire time with their other dog. Our pup came back to us happy AND sleepy - love that! Thank you Jen and Michael for a fantastic time all around. read more

Whenever I need to go out of town the first call I make is to WalkStayPlay to arrange for care for my cat. Their sitters are warm, friendly and responsible. My cat is very well taken care of and happy when I return home. Their services are reasonably priced and I love knowing that my cat is at home and comfortable. I love WalkStayPlay! read more

WalkStayPlay - Dog Walkers Near Me

I have been a customer of WSP for at least 4 years as I was in search of a reliable service for those days when I could not be home in the day to walk and feed my dog. I have always been thrilled with their service as Dominique, our usual sitter, always writes detailed reports of her visit as well as texts me photos of my happy dog eating. However this past weekend, they went over the top in service. My father passed away on Saturday afternoon. I had to fly to Florida on Sunday. I was panicked as to whether or not it would be possible to set up dog care on such short notice. Suzy, the owner, came to the rescue with flying colors and set up a visit from Dominique on Monday. WSP brought ease to a difficult time in my life. If Yelp allowed 6 stars, Walk, Stay, Play would get them! read more

These folks have cared for my dogs since 2007 and done an excellent job. They even cared for my 4 month old puppy when I had to go away for several says to take care of some Real Estate in another state.That was dedication! Because that puppy was a royal rascal. They have walked the dogs on short notice when I became suddenly ill and stayed overnight when I had to take trips away for work. My dogs love all of the walkers and Jen especially. read more

I couldn't recommend WalkStayPlay or Suzy more. We just found them, we have a large male dog, and we are so happy. We are nervous about leaving him or having anyone else walk our dog but Suzy and Bryan have made us feel so confident and comfortable. They are an awesome company! read more

WSP is super responsive, friendly, responsible, accommodating, and easy to work with! I've never used a pet sitter for my cat, and was very hesitant; however, I needed something ASAP since I just moved to the area and needed to travel for work. I gave WSP a shot, and they came right to my rescue! I will continue to use them! The prices are reasonable and with them coming to my home, it removes the hassle of needing to transport my cat back and forth to and from my home to a boarder. Plus, our sitter (Cassie) was amazing and sent me nightly text updates. This is a great company and my first experience with them was superb! read more

We love Walk Stay Play! We hired WSP to come on days that we were working longer hours and needed someone to walk our dog. Cassie has been walking our guy since he was around 6 months old, and still with us almost 2 years later. Whenever Cassie isn't available, we always have Karli. They're both amazing! After each walk, they send us a message with a photo and leave us a detailed note. They are both very familiar with him and his condition so they are able to report any issues. A testament to the care and love they have for pets: Our dog was diagnosed with hip dysplasia 2 years ago and we have made sure that exercise was always a part of his care. On one really bad day for our pup, his legs gave out when he was in a walk with Cassie, so she carried him all the way home and contacted us right away. They are the best and we are very grateful for the consistency, great customer service, and love they have given our dog. I defintely recommend WSP! read more

My fur kids are the most important beings to me in the world. That said, unfortunately my obligations require me to travel out of town, often on short notice . Jen and her staff have been caring for my babies since they were all little and never once have they let me down. Being able to meet my obligations without having to worry about what's going on at home is priceless. read more

My 3 dogs absolutely LOVE their walk days with Ashley! As soon as I get the leashes out, they know she is coming and wait by the door for her. I used to take my dogs to day care, however they are much happier now that they are walking several times a week. read more

I have been a customer of WSP since 2012. I love, love them! Jen, Suzy and their staff of wonderful animal caretakers are the best. They make efforts to accommodate your needs as well as your pets, and I feel they really love and care for our family terrier. When travelling, I feel confident she is in good hands. I have used several caregivers over the few years and so far, have never been disappointed. In addition, they make the billing and invoicing process very easy. I highly recommend! read more

I cannot emphasize enough how great Suzy and her team are! They go above and beyond in service and flexibility. I travel s lot and juggle a full time work schedule and they make it all so easy with their professionalism. Definitely highly recommend to everyone!! read more

I wouldn't trust anyone else with my pups!! Suzy is a serious lifesaver from daily walks to visits when we are out of town. The dogs love her and she treats them like her own! Both of our dogs have special medical needs, and I know they will be well taken care of with WalkStayPlay. read more

Karli and Dominique took care of my old Oso, who is a 13 yr old lab, while I went away for 2 weeks. He can barely walk or see but still has enthusiasm for life. I was a little fearful that he'd need to be put down while I was away and had both a friend and my vet on alert. Oso needs multiple medications twice daily, lots of water, and love. These women took such great care of him that I think he misses them, maybe even prefers them over me. Well, that's not really possible but almost.... Anyhow, I want to join in on the other 5 star reviews for Walk Stay Play. Thank you! read more

We have used Walkstayplay for several years, and highly recommend their services and sitters.

We feel so fortunate to have discovered this wonderful pet sitting service and recommend them unequivocally! read more

Walk Stay Play is simply amazing in every way. They are trustworthy and love your pets like they are their own.

WalkStayPlay has been absolutely AMAZING in caring for my dog and cat. I can't say enough about their excellent service. Linda and Evelyn have cared for my pets and are exceedingly warm, friendly, helpful, and professional. Jen has been absolutely wonderful to work with. I would recommend WSP without any hesitation. My husband and I have to travel often and have found such reassurance knowing our much-loved pets are in such good hands. Thank you, WSP!!! read more

We've used Walk Stay Play (WSP) for a variety of vacations and biz trips over the last couple of years, and without fail, WSP has always been available to watch our cats and fish - even on busy holidays. Jen runs a great business and is very responsive with timely, detailed emails confirming dates, invoices, etc. Our regular sitter Sylvie is wonderful (also very detail-oriented) and leaves daily notes for our receipt upon arrival. Everyone that I've dealt with at WSP has been professional, courteous and we will continue to exclusively use WSP for our pet-sitting needs. Thanks Jen and Sylvie - you're both AWESOME! read more

Wow...what a great job Cassie & Nathan did with our 3 dogs! Jen was so responsive & accommodating. We made change after change with our schedule, and Walk, Stay, Play accommodated every change. I really appreciated the last minute visits I requested with no late booking fee. Our walkers are lovely, trustworthy people. No worries whatsoever with them coming into our home while we were away....they were super sweet & professional. As good as it gets! read more
