Absolutely exceptional pet sitters. We've been clients for going on five years now and I can confidently confirm that they are reliable, flexible, adaptable, great communicators, and really take the time to make sure they understand not just your pets and their needs, but your needs as well as the owner and your expectations. They truly go above and beyond. Steven even brings in packages (even a rocking chair at one point!). So in addition to being wonderful professionals, Steven and Heather are themselves just wonderful people. Best pet care takers bar none. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our fur babies which has allowed me to actually enjoy my time away because I know they are in great hands! read more

Steven and Heather are trustworthy, reliable, professional and provide great care for my dog! It is easy to schedule walks, and Steven is very accommodating to our busy work schedules which is reassuring knowing our dog will be walked, fed and looked after either early in the morning, or later in the afternoon. Last minute changes happen and Steven hasn't charged cancellation fees, but he also has been able to schedule walks with little notice. I know our dog is in good hands and safe on each and every walk so I can focus on my job. read more

Steve took care of our cats for 2 weeks. Everything was perfect! Steve is super nice. He texted updates every time and even sent a few pictures. My cats are usually scared of strangers but came out to say hi to Steve, that says a lot! Very recommended! read more

Fuzzy Buddies Petsitting - Steve and Bella - Pet Sitting Near Me - Chula Vista, California

Definitely 5 star! Fuzzy Buddies Pettsitting service is incredible. I am so pleased with the care they give my little dog, Mia. The owners are extremely professional, reliable and flexible when my schedule changes. When I'm traveling, I always know that Mia is in good hands. They are honest and trustworthy and I have no doubts about their access to my home. Thank you Fuzzy Buddies for all you do. You are amazing. read more

The cats were taken care off, and the house was clean. She took care of an ant problem while I was away.

We have used Stephen and Heather many times during our life in Chula Vista. Both of our cats have behavioral issues which Stephen handles easily. They are licensed and insured, and I appreciate that they would be able to handle any situation in the home that could arise while away. read more

Fuzzy Buddies is far-and-away the BEST pet sitters I've ever used. They always do exactly as they say they will and truly care about your pet. I have an elderly cat (she's a sweet little layabout) and they treat her like a rockstar. Their prices are reasonable and they always come through. We even had to use them last-minute and they accommodated without so much as batting an eye. Long story short: use these folks. You won't be disappointed! read more

Steven and Heather are amazing! They have been watching our dog for about two years now. Our first experience with them was when we went to Scotland for Christmas. Our flight back to San Diego was canceled in London and without hesitation they told us they would take care of our dog until we made it home. Yesterday I got a phone call from an old friend who told me he was going to be in Orange County the following day with his family. I sent Steven a last minute text to see if he could stop by. With less than a 24 hour notice Steven was able to walk our dog. So happy with him and Heather. They are so helpful and excellent with our dog, she's a nervous, older dog and they are excellent with her. I recommend them a 1000 times over! Reliable, caring, and always available. read more

If you want the dog sitter to cancel at the last minute... Call Steve. If you want the dog sitter to not come up with solutions for your pets issues...Call Steve. If you want to work with someone that doesn't honor his word...Call Steve. I leave out of town next Thursday, Thanksgiving. Yeah, Steve, just cancelled his contract, leaving me holding the bag. Steve had concerns about the care of my dogs, an honorable man would have contacted me. I would have been happy to pay him for extra hours of care. Instead he cancelled. I love my dogs more than life its self. Hence I was willing to pay 23.00 an hour for a private dog sitter. One must wonder if Steve would have ever showed up. If I have to cancel my trip, because of Steve, I am going to file a lawsuit against Steve. Stay the hell away from this cheesy pet sitting service. read more

We are so lucky to have found such wonderful flexible pet sitters for our 2 kitties. We had a few changes to what we needed each visit (administering medication one visit, coming in the morning instead of evening, and putting frozen food in their automatic feeder) and these guys handled it no problem. My husband and I are in the Navy so our duty days lined up regularly and we never had to worry about our fur babies 10/10 recommend and will continue to turn to them for our petsitting needs. read more

Let me ease your mind, coming from a psycho-obsessive doggy mommy herself. Steven & his team are to be fully trusted with your little fuzzy loved one. Steven is consistent on his response to your requests. He treats your home & pet as his own, and to top it off, he's a local Otay Ranch/Eastlake neighbor who is fully bonded and insured. His pricing is also more than reasonable, and he's highly respected in the community with your local doggy day cares and vets. One stop shop. Call FUZZY BUDDIES to take care of your doggy (or any animal for that matter- untrained husbands or wives negotiable & priced at temperament, lol :) read more

The service as a whole and Steven himself are amazing. Everything from the initial quote to coming home to find my cat happier than she's ever been after I leave for a trip was handled in a timely and professional manner. The pricing is beyond fair and well worth it for the quality of service and level of attention that was given. He kept me updated on how my cat was doing while I was gone, which was an enormous help in giving me some peace of mind. 110% would recommend Fuzzy Buddies and will absolutely be calling upon them again in the future. Thanks Steven! read more

Fuzzy Buddies watched my two pals for 10 days. They walked, played, fed them. Not only that, they offered house sitting services like taking out the trash, sweeping up after the doggies, checked the mail, and watered the plants. They went above and beyond when they found a water leak in our laundry room. They called us immediately informed us of the leak and that they shut the water and even wiped it up. We knew we were in good hands with Heather and Steve. They are super kind, wonderful with pets, and takes good care of homes. Highly recommend Fuzzy Buddies Pet Sitting! read more

I have used Fuzzy Buddies for 15 years. Steven is outstanding and very dependable. We have used him for walks for our 3 dogs and also during our vacations. He takes wonderful and loving care of our dogs and our diabetic kitty. When we return from travel, the house is sparkling, the garden looks great and our pets are relaxed and happy. I highly recommend his services. read more

Steven has been petsitting our dogs for several months and it is so nice knowing they are being taken care of when we can't get home during the day. He always keeps his time commitments and our dogs love him! He has helped us out on so many last minute occasions that we really don't know what we would do without him. We feel so comfortable knowing our dogs are in his hands and cannot recommend him enough! He even brings in the mail! read more

I have had Fuzzy Buddies take care of our two Kitty's for 9 years. They are so good to our baby's because they love animals so much. They have always been here when needed and take good care of our kitty's illy and Gracie. Don't know what we would do without them. Very professional and reliable. read more

I was referred to fuzzy buddies by a friend of mine who used their services. I complained to my friend how expensive it was to board our two dogs and how it took several days for them to fall back into their normal routine while we were away not to mention kennel cough. I cannot say enough good things about Heather and Steven. They are amazing people who obviously love taking care of animals. Before they watched our two dogs they both came to the house to meet us and our wuppies. They were very professional. They brought all of their documents showing their license, insurance, etc. They took copious notes on what the dogs eat, when they eat, treat schedule and any other particulars. They were so thorough and asked questions I had not even thought to ask. Heather and Steven also asked if we wanted them to water our plants or take out our trash while we were gone, which was so sweet. However, I declined knowing that taking care of our two dogs was more than enough work! We have used them many times and will continue to use them whenever we travel. They are very responsive as well. They return emails, text messages and phone calls promptly. There was even a day when my husband was gone and I was going to be at a work seminar until late in the evening. I emailed Heather and Steven to see if they could take care of the dogs on such short notice and they responded immediately that they would take care of it, which put my mind at ease. Their prices are very reasonable and much cheaper than boarding the dogs. However, more important than the price is that our dogs are so much happier when we go away. They get to stay in their own house, eat their own food and have two great folks walk and play with them. I suspect our dogs would like us to take more vacations. I would highly recommend Heather and Steven to anyone. read more

I can't begin to say enough wonderful things about Fuzzy Buddies Petsitting!! We have used Heather and Steven many, many times over the past 3 years. They are truly exceptional in every way. They go above and beyond the call of duty! When we were on our honeymoon and one of our dogs came down with a stomach bug (for most of the month we were gone), they not only took her to the vet and got her medicine, but they went grocery shopping and cooked and shredded the chicken and rice for her, just like the vet asked! On top of that, they steam cleaned the carpets where she had accidents... and I don't think it was only once! I would highly recommend Fuzzy Buddies not only for the extra care they have given our dogs but for their professionalism. I am grateful for their service and knowing that I can always count on them when we need them. read more

I only know Heather but I can tell you that she has the BIGGEST heart and cares so much! As long as your pups are in their hands you can rest assured everything will be taken care of. Heather is such a genuine person who will go above and beyond to be sure you are happy! read more

Heather and Steven Naelgele from Fuzzy Buddies are the most trusted, professional, and pet-loving individuals who have ever watched our two dogs, guinea pigs, and fish! We were oversees when our two dogs had an incident (our recently adopted pitbull mix got aggressive with our golden retriever) - and Steven and Heather didn't hesitate to not only call us immediately to let us know what occurred, but also took our dogs to our vet (which was a decent drive) to ensure both dogs were checked out and given clean bill of health. I feel very blessed to have found them, and would highly recommend them to any pet parent who needs a pet-sitter! read more

Fuzzy Buddies has taken care of my kids for many years now, through a move and through the addition of another fur baby. I have a cat that Heather and Steven have been babysitting since he was a wee kitten, and he's now a full grown big guy. If I could give six stars, I would! I have trusted the Fuzzy Buddies team to kitty and hamster sit because they are reliable, caring, and truly look after my kids in their own home (which is much preferable to boarding them in a kennel or with a vet). My fur baby is happier and more comfortable, resulting in less trauma with a team who truly cares about his well being. We've had a few issues occur in the house while we were gone, and Steven quickly texted me pictures and updates to ensure that we were kept informed and updated. The FB team really gives me peace of mind in addition to the love and care for my fur babies. They provide value-added services if you need, such as checking the mail, taking out the trash on trash day, and watering plants. I love that the place looks lived-in while we are out, checking on the health of the critters and the overall security of the home. Fuzzy Buddies is great at comms and very flexible in their services, when we've had short-notice business trips and even if we have unplanned extensions causing us to change the dates. The peace of mind, care, and great service that Steven and Heather provide are invaluable! I highly recommend this business (and have for years!), and I trust them with my fur babies and my home!!! read more

I was very nervous about going out of town and leaving our dogs at home. We did not want to leave our dogs in a kennel. I called Steve and spoke with him and Heather. We did an over the phone interview after reading the yelp reviews. We were comfortable with them coming to our house and feeding the dogs twice a day as well as walking them in the morning for an hour and a half hour in the evening. We left on Friday early and came back Sunday late afternoon. We found the dogs in good shape and happy to see us. The house was left in same condition as when we left. Great Job. Steve and Heather both seem to really like our dogs and our dogs seem to like them. We will be asking them to sit for us in the future. read more

Since I work from home we have never had a need for a dog walker but when I just had to go out of town for a couple of days we had to find someone to take care of the cats and puppy during the day - and they were great! They came over prior to the visit and met with our German Shepherd (and the kitties) and she immediately liked them :) They left notes for my husband each day and there was never a problem - would definitely use them again! Thanks Steven and Heather!! read more

We cannot say enough about Steven and Heather and Fuzzy Buddies! They have taken care of our two cats, Thomas P and Miss P for four years and have so with love and affection. They have been so good and loving to our cats and when Thomas P passed away they reached out to us as if they lost one of their own. They will work with you to schedule your visits so they suit the needs of your pets. We travel several times a year and know that our little girl will be cared for by two of the biggest hearted people on the face of this earth. We just returned from Hawaii after a week and our 15 year old cat was healthy and happy to see us. It is bittersweet that we write this as we are moving and we can only hope to find a company so loving,caring and dependable as Fuzzy Buddies. We give our HIGHEST recommendation to anyone looking for someone who will love your pets as much as Steven & Heather. Thank you both from us and Thomas P and Miss P read more

GREATEST team of professional sitters we've met since relocating to Chula Vista!! Heather & Steven are personable, loving, and caring for our three cats. A most trustworthy couple with attention to detail leaving no concerns when traveling for a short or extended period of time! If your looking for pet sitters, Fuzzy Buddies should be your first choice! Aloha... :) read more

Steve has been watching our dogs on and off for years. His wife Heather will often come with him when it is a late night visit and our dogs (and we) love them both. They are so responsible and trustworthy and we are 100% comfortable with them having not only a key to our house but the code to our alarm system. I'm not sure we would feel comfortable with anyone else and we know they will always follow through with everything. If you haven't called Fuzzy Buddies then you probably need to give them a try. You will have a forever friend for your fur babies. read more

These two are amazing! They are super sweet to my cat and you can sense how much they love animals the moment you meet them. They always respond when I have questions or when scheduling visits. I feel super safe with them in my home, taking care of my baby. Highly recommend! read more

Steven and Heather are THE BEST!!! We left our Goldendoodle in their care for a week, and I felt very comfortable doing so. Steven was in contact with me via text and that was great. He came twice a day to excercize and feed her. My husband was at work, while I was on vacation with the kids. I know our pup looked forward to his visits!!! Most importantly, he saved her life when he came for her final morning visit and found that she had knocked my husbands medicine off the counter and eaten it! He rushed her to the emergency vet and stayed with her until we decided to keep her there for observation until we got home from vacation that evening. He then checked in with me to see how she was doing. GREAT PEOPLE!!!! He really cares about his "charges" and I highly reccomend Fuzzy Buddies!!! read more

I highly recommend Fuzzy Buddies. We have used them for several years to take care of our kittens, including giving one of them her daily pills (and you know what it's like to give a cat a pill). They are very professional, trustworthy, dependable and responsive. We felt totally comfortable leaving the care of our kittens with them. FB also provides other helpful services like checking the mail, bringing in garbage cans, etc. which is so nice when you are out of town for several days. read more

Fuzzy Buddies Petsitting was the best experience we've ever had when looking for quality pet care for our cats and dog while we were on a multi day vacation. Both Heather and Steven were friendly to both my husband and I right from the start. Their vast experience caring for both both cats and dogs really showed. You could tell they wanted to make sure this would be a comfortable experience for the pets, but also us humans, while we were away. They showed a lot of interest in our specific pet care needs with having older animals. They showed attention to detail, were extremely professional, genuinely kind, and excited to be working with us. If you live in the Chula Vista area, Fuzzy Buddies Petsitting is hands down the best choice!! Especially if your pets are your furry babies like in our family. I would most certainly recommend them to anyone and will definitely call them the next time I need loving pet care. :) read more

I highly recommend Fuzzy Buddies! Stephen and Heather are such wonderful and loving people, and it was such a relief meeting them! They were great with my dogs and I felt in good hands the moment I met them. I knew they would take loving care of my two dogs, which they absolutely did. They are thorough, caring, dependable, and their services are very reasonable. They definitely went over and above my expectations. Thank you! read more

We LOVE Fuzzy Buddies too! I worry about everything! Heather and Steven took away my fears and took great care of our cat! I was also hesitant to try a pet sitter since I had never used one before. Fuzzy Buddies surpassed all expectations! Can't say enough nice things about them! Recommend them highly! read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Steven and his team!! Fuzzy Buddies has been an absolute lifesaver on several occasions when I needed a last-minute (including holiday!) sitter for my two cats. Steven responded immediately to my sitting requests, offered a very comprehensive consultation, and has quickly become a favorite with my finicky and territorial 'kitts'. He even kindly replaced a litter scoop that broke during one of his visits - through no fault of his own! - at no charge. I feel happy and confident leaving my home and furry kiddos in his very capable hands, and gladly recommend Fuzzy Buddies with no hesitation or reservations. Best pet sitters we've ever had!! read more

Fuzzy Buddies is the best! Very friendly, honest, and reliable. I use them when traveling. I can leave my senior dog at home where she is most comfortable and feel assured that she will get the loving care she needs and deserves. Can't recommend them highly enough! read more

Steven and Heather have taken care of our 3 cats many times and have always done a wonderful job. You can tell that the cats have been very spoiled in our absence. We wouldn't trust anyone else with our "kids". Fuzzy Buddies is the best! read more
