My last sitter, Andrea, was just lovely -- on time, spent time with my dogs, and made them happy. (My neighbors and my cameras confirm this!). Thank you to Dan and to Andrea for making this work.

Scrambling to figure something on Yelp, Joel and his awesome energy came to the rescue. I was lucky enough that there was space available for my pup the same day we called. You can tell Joel & team genuinely love puppers and really put me at ease trusting them with our dog. They are about a mile from Fishermans Wharf, easy to find, and there is street parking in front. Things to know: * Forms can be printed & completed online in advance * Have vaccination records ready (rabies super important) * Create a profile online to make an appt and they can accept the morning of * Advance booking preferred for holidays

Excellent Dog Care…read more The review is long overdue but wanted to share for others who want to find someone who truly looks after your own furchild. In my case there were two furkids that needed varying care. Why I would return to Freya +'s: + Responsive. I needed day care services and even evening services while I had to attend an all day conference and participate in an evening event for a few days. Freya answered my calls and texts before the care, during the care, and after the care. + Timely. Always showed up on time when I had to rush off to an event + Caring. I judge how my two dogs react when she returned the following day. Dogs do not lie and they were happy to see her return. + Helpful. Often I had to rush in and out of my lodge while I had to attend an event and Freya made sure she could help me exit as smoothly as possible and minimize my dogs' separation anxiety + Senior care experience. I see that Freya was able to care for my senior dog who had more issues than the younger sibling. + Great feedback. She shared photos of my girls to just show me how they were doing that day while I had to leave them under her care. Overall I would not hesitate to have Freya take care of my senior dog and my other more lively furkid.

We were staying at a hotel that was not dog friendly just up the street and were planning on picking them up during the day, but since they looked happy, we were comfortable with them staying there for the duration of our trip and not stressing them by taking them out and returning them. Will definitely use them next time we travel with our dogs to Monterey.

It has taken me far too long to post this review but glad I finally remembered because Erin is the…read moreabsolute best! Cannot recommend her highly enough. Erin looked after our cat last year over Thanksgiving, and despite it no doubt being a very busy time for her, she was attentive and prompt. She sent us the best pictures of our cat each day, brushed her, cleaned up and made sure food and water were readily available. She came to our apartment everyday for about half an hour and was dedicated to the cat the whole time. It didn't feel like she was rushing, rather that she spent time sitting with our cat and giving her lots of love. Our cat is quite shy, and Erin managed to send us pictures of her looking very relaxed and happy! I think the best thing is that Erin doesn't make you feel silly for sending very long instructions on your cat - she doesn't need much instruction other than where the food etc is because she's so good with animals, but as a very clingy cat mom it's awesome that Erin is so responsive when you send long emails to her! We will absolutely work with Erin again, she is worth every dollar (and more, to be honest!). If you are looking for someone for in-home cat visits/ care, Smitten Kitten is 100% your best option! Thank you SO much Erin!

Erin is the best pet sitter that a person could ask for. She is reliable, quick to respond and…read moretruly cares about your pet. I reached out to Erin a few months ago to come over 1 time per day to care for my cat. She was professional and had many questions about the appropriate care for my cat. When Erin visits she takes photos of my cat and sends me text and email updates. She is the best! I can't say enough about how happy I am with Erin's pet sitting service.

She stayed overnight and she sent pictures during the day. My golden retriever absolutely adores Leah and I can tell the feeling is mutual.

We all laughed and enjoyed the note that she left for us. We will be using Leah for all of our dog's care and adventures. Thank you so much for being so amazing!
