Ally was wonderful with both kitties. She sent us emails each day with a detailed update and incredible photos. After the first update, I knew our kitties would have a great week - with good attention and play each day with Ally. Ally also took care of the house - bringing in mail and lots of packages and watering the plants. Everything was in excellent order. I'm so happy to have found such an excellent pet sitting service for my kitties. Now, I know I can go out of town with the peace of mind that our kitties will receive fantastic care.

Having newly relocated here last year, my number one priority was finding a caring and dependable…read moredog walker who could manage the high energy of my 2-year-old pup Roxy, alongside the tender pace of my senior pup Ruby, who's 14. This had been a challenge--until Carol stepped in. Almost a year into her 3-4x weekly visits, Carol's kindness, attentiveness, and reliability have been pivotal to my peace of mind during long and hectic workdays. A recent example of this was when Carol first noticed that Ruby had become more hesitant during walks, which signaled a potential health issue as Ruby has always loved her walks. Carol's insight prompted a vet visit that revealed a worsening of Ruby's arthritis--a condition I hadn't yet spotted. Rather than suggesting we increase the walk time, Carol took the time to adapt our walk schedule into one that would accommodate both the pace of Ruby's leisurely strolls and that of Roxy's spirited jaunts, ensuring neither pup misses out on their much-loved outings. Carol's text updates and photos of my pups' day always bring me a smile, as well as peace of mind. It's rare to find someone so kind, dependable, and tuned in to the dogs' needs. Carol's Eastside Dog Walking is not merely a service; it's a gift to any pet owner. Her dedication to our dogs' happiness and well-being earns my highest recommendation.

I also love that she refills his water bowl, turns on the light and sends me a prompt and thorough note shortly after dropping him off each time. She truly is the best at what she does.

Why would you put your dog at a kennel type place if you have or had this option. My dog is practically like family to Cindy now. It's honestly invaluable what she provides. My dog is never in a crate, and gets to hang with Cindy and her family, go out back and check out the chickens and other animals, he's not locked up in a cage for 20 of 24 hours a day. I get the overnight kennel places probably not having the man power to pay one on one attention to those dogs, but it's just that your dog is going from free reign of your own home to being in a kennel for hours at a time. It's a huge adjustment and difference. With Cindy, they're going from your home, to a home. She gives you updates too on how your dog is doing and sometimes even sends off photos too.

Cindy even stayed in Sacramento for several hours until I could get there. Cindy made it possible for my beloved Murray to get the best medical care and I am forever grateful. She sent me a video of Murray, which I cherish. Thank you, Cindy, your kindness, generosity of spirit and integrity are treasures; thank you for caring about my Murray as if she were your own.
