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.

When she comes out he comes running to meet her and then goes to the massage spot and just waits for the massage to start. He benefits greatly from these rubs as he is an older horse with some aches and pains. She has helped with my young dogs and the older ones. She gave medication and food to a puppy I had after a bout with gastritis when I could not make it home during the day to give multiple small meals. I've left a difficult dog with her overnight. She had never spent the night away from me and Janet took excellent care of her. It is obvious she loves animals and she is excellent with dogs, horses, and cats. I highly recommend her for taking care of your pets be it walks, overnight stays, or anything you need.

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!

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!!

This is the review I have been impatiently waiting to do and I am so stoked to finally be able to…read morewrite it and share this picture of my fur kid, Freyja (the white goofball on the end) Let me just start with... I wish I could give 100 stars! Freyja was a rescue pup that we got as a baby. She was raised with other dogs and did great but as she got a we bit older that was no longer the case. While she LOVES humans, she was not fond of my late Great Dane, she'd have full on dog fights which caused a lot of issues, stress and a bit of ptsd for me. We had to section off areas so they would never cross paths. Fast forward 6 months, we get a puppy thinking since 1- he's a boy & 2- a sweet baby she should be okay and they will eventually be friends. That was NOT the case. She tried to maul him the first time she met him. That was quite devastating for us to say the least and the thought of rehoming the pup or giving up on her was not an option so, this is when we get ahold of Caleb. We signed her up for board and train and while waiting for her turn we did socializations and some one on one training with both her and the pup she dislikes so much. Two weeks ago we dropped her off for her stay. Over the two weeks Caleb worked with Freyja and our boy Finn. Freyja made new doggo friends, which is huge in its self while learning all the other great things she needed to learn. Today, Caleb brought her home, he walked her in to the house with my boy Finn, one on either side of him. My heart sank and smiled all at the same time. I never imagined her being okay with being that close to him with out trying to attack him. While we still have plenty of work and fine tuning to do. I am so happy and great full for the difference Caleb has made in our girl Freyja. I am so thankful. ------------------- Now for the boring stuff... LOL Cost was average for the area. I had researched a handful everywhere between here and San Diego. Communication was fantastic! Angela is on it! She is super helpful and friendly. Caleb would shoot me super cute videos, which I loved getting and loved sharing her progress with my friends. Caleb was referred by a rescue friend so, I already trusted he was a good guy, but he genuinely is great, knowledgeable and both he & Angela truly care about the doggos they care for / train. -------------- Lastly... this picture says it all.... I have been waiting for this from day one after I started following the Dogs gone Sane IG. I am SO HAPPY to have received it. My Freyja with her friends.
