This review is long overdue. I've been using Steve and PJ's services for a year. Steve is so good with my dogs, who are not always the easiest guys to care for. THis weekend I got stranded out of town because of weather and Steve visited my dogs 4 extra times and even watered my Christmas tree! He always leaves me very nice notes about all the activities that went on when I was gone. Their prices are reasonable but more importantly they are reliable, trustworthy and very caring. I never feel stressed when I leave out of town anymore! read more

Great Alternative to dog kennels and much cheaper especially if you have multiple pets. I absolutely love Jamboree Pet Care. PJ has been great with my three crazy dogs. I always come home from outta town trips to happy dogs as opposed to sad, homesick dogs when I had kenneled them. I always try to tip her extra for taking great care of my girls. I no longer stress about vacations and work trips bc I know I can count on PJ. P.J. will forever be my doggie sitter! Highly recommend Jamboree Pet Care! read more

I can't say enough good things about Jamboree Pet Care! Before we moved to San Diego we began looking for dog care options for our two big dogs. We are very particular because our dogs do not do well with other animals and are not always the most obedient when they get excited. Based on previous Yelp reviews Jamboree seemed like they would fit the bill for our needs, and they have far exceeded our (very high) expectations! PJ came over to meet our dogs and talk about the details before the first Jamboree overnights in May 2011. While the most important thing to us was how good she was with our dogs, I was really struck by how organized and smart Jamboree is (e.g., they request an extra set of keys that they keep in a safe at their office in case of a pet sitter emergency, she brought with her a file folder with all our info and jotted down notes as we talked). We've had great dogsitters in the past who loved our dogs and the dogs loved them, but never had great dogsitters who were also SUCH great business owners as those at Jamboree! Given the outstanding care, superb organization, excellent price, and regular communication we received from PJ in our first Jamboree experience, we knew then we would not consider going elsewhere for dog care for as long as we were in San Diego. Probably since July 2011 PJ has taken our dogs on a walk every Tuesday since my husband and I have long days at work, and she or Steve have also walked them on other days when things have come up (we've always contacted them a few days prior to the walk). They've spent a number of additional multi-night overnights with the dogs since that first one, as well. Jamboree has always responded to requests within a day and on one occasion when one of our dogs had a health issue called us immediately. They have never canceled anything we have scheduled. In summary, we cannot imagine a better company with better people to take care of our "kids" and think we have the experience to say that future customers will NOT be disappointed! read more

My puppy is about my most favorite thing on this earth.... I love him but really needed some relief after coming home from a hard day at work and he just wanted to play! In an attempt to get me a couple minutes of quiet, I hired Jamboree to take him out for walks a couple days a week. And it's a lot ot expect from a 8 month-old puppy to behave ALL day long! Fortunately, Kristen lives in a complex adjacent to mine and is able to just walk over and take him out to explore. Scheduling is super easy and just need to send an email the day before, price is reasonable, and most importantly - my puppy is happy! I will keep using and would recommend to anyone else whose pet needs some exercise. read more

Not trusting our roommates to take care of our two cats, me and my husband contacted Jamboree to watch them. PJ came over before our trip to talk about the cats and their care. Everyone of the some 10 days we were gone she texted us an update about how the cats were doing. I found myself really looking forward to the texts. PJs very nice and really knows animals. She got our very nervous and shy cat to come out of hiding. Once we got home we found the cats in great condition. They were happy and looked fantastic, having been brushed every day. PJ even left paper notes in addition to the texts. Those were great to read, well what I could read seeing as one of the cats had chewed up the paper haha. In all I would highly recommend Jamboree and would use them again in a heart beat. read more

My review is 3 years over due, but it's better late than never! I cannot say enough good things about Jamboree. They are one amazing company, and PJ is fantastic! We first used Jamboree when we went out of town for 2 nights for our anniversary... and PJ stayed the night with Izzy and Charlie.. loved the updates, the notes, the professionalism. Then we found out I was pregnant and it was a crazy pregnancy which had us in the hospital so much, leading to our son being born early unbeknownst to us that this would be happening. And with each instance Jamboree was there to care for our fur babies. And when we had our son via emergency surgery and couldn't even get home for a few days, they were right there again. Thank you for being a part of our family! read more

This is a very long overdue report but I just referred a co-worker to Jamboree and thought I should right a review! I have been using Jamboree Pet Care for about 5 years, with my old cat who passed away a few years ago and now my new kitty! PJ is great to work with. I just email her the dates I will be away and she takes care of the rest! Steve is the pet sitter that looks after my cat and she really likes him! He plays with her, takes care of her food, water and litter needs and will even check the mail and bring in packages. And he leaves great notes about how my cat is doing and what they did when he visited. Steve is also very considerate to text me on the first visit so I know that he got in the house ok. I always feel very secure knowing that Steve and PJ will take care of my cat when I am traveling. And you can pay via PayPay an added bonus! read more

This is a GREAT dog sitting/walking service. Very professional, but also very friendly! Their sitters and walkers clearly love animals and got along great with both of my dogs. We just needed them to walk and feed our dogs while we were out of town, but they went above and beyond with their service. They sat down with us to go over details and to get to know the dogs, plus they provided a little day-by-day status report of how the dogs were doing while we were gone. We had total peace of mind during our trip! And their prices are outstanding! read more

I have been using Jamboree for several years and totally love them. I can go on vacation and know that my dog Bona is being well cared for in her own home. She is not stressed when I get back and she knows that PJ will be coming to take her out for a nice walk. read more

I highly recommend Jamboree Pet Care! PJ watched my two cats for me for two months last summer while I was out of the country, and she did a fantastic job! I came home to an organized home, and two healthy happy felines. I also made a last minute call over the Christmas holiday and she was able to fit me in. She was super friendly toward me and my pets, and even brought treats for them on her initial visit. She also wrote up a little paragraph about each time she visited outlining what she did, how the pets were behaving, and anything else of concern. I have since moved away and am sad that I can no longer utilize her services. read more

After a bad experience with another dog walker, we were a little nervous about finding a new one. Luckily, Jamboree Pet Care has really come through. PJ is very sweet, but most importantly our dog seems to love her. She leaves funny & cute notes about their walk and I really look forward to coming home and reading about our mutt's crazy antics. Its clear that she cares about our dog and the prices are great if you buy a package. I'd highly recommend them! read more

Jamboree rocks the pet care world! PJ came by for the initial consultation, and took enough time to acquaint herself our cat Zoe and make sure she got everything just right. She bonded with Zoe, and sent daily text messages to let us know how she was doing. Jamboree also offers a small discount when you mention Yelp! read more

We love Jamboree. i found them back in March when my Husband and I went out of town and our friend canceled on us. We had two friends helping us watch our dogs while we were gone so we had a weird schedule we needed help filling in. Jamboree was awesome. They worked with us to make sure that our dogs were well taken care of. Steve came to meet the dogs and get a layout of the house and pick up all of the paperwork. Steve was excellent with our two overly hyper boxers. Steve came many times during our out of town trip in March. He fed them, walked them and hung out with them. I loved coming home to the notes of how each visit went. Some days Steve was scheduled to come three or four times and each time he left a note on how they dogs had done. Steve even took our trash to the curb which was awesome. We just came back from an out of town trip and we needed someone to stay with our dogs for one of the days we were gone. Steve to the rescue again. Steve came two times during the day and then stayed overnight into the next morning. When he had a concern he did not hesitate to give me a call to discuss his concerns. Again we came home to great notes of how each visit went. Our dogs were well cared for and happy pups. Jamboree is our go to pet care when we go out of town. Thank you Steve. read more

I have nothing but good things to say about Jamboree Pet Care. I highly reccomend them to anyone. My husband is in the Navy and as a result is gone most of the time. I work a high-stress long-hour corporate job and I was really worried my doggie wasn't getting enough exersice during the week. PJ is available whenever I need her. I never have a set schedule of days I know I'll need a dog walker. I just contact her at the beginning of the week and she's available for whatever days I need. She leaves notes about how the walk went and how sweet my dog is to her. Very pleased with the service and will continue to use it as long as I live in San Diego. read more

I have never used a petsitting service before, and was nervous to trust someone I didn't know to care for my kitty while I was on vacation, so I looked into a lot of places. I was very happy with Jamboree and PJ. She clearly loves animals and was very understanding and professional. She sent me a text message everyday to let me know how everything was going, and she was very specific about things that are unique to my cats personality, so I knew that she was really providing quality care. For the services they provide, the prices are very reasonable. Most importantly, my cat was her happy, affectionate self when we returned, rather than upset by the absence as in the past. I would definitely use Jamboree again. read more

I've used Jamboree 3-4 times now. I was extremely nervous about using a pet sitter because my dog is a rescue, not very socialized, and somewhat "high needs." Luckily, Steve is wonderful with her and she always seems happy and well cared for when my husband and I return home. Steve's able to come by close to her usual walk/feeding schedule so her "routine" isn't too disrupted and always leaves notes about each visit. They're always prompt when responding to emails and requests, and I'm able to enjoy trips more knowing my pup is looked after and safe. Very much recommended! read more

Jamboree Pe Care is the best! The reason they are the best, is because, not only do they provide the best service for what you are contracting them to do but, they are the best because they genuinely care about your animals. They are honest and caring people that I trust not only with my babies but to come into my home! I especially like that they inform me as to my dog's business done so that I know if they still need to do it when I get home. Their little notes and updates are much appreciated. Hope they stay around forever! read more

PJ is always responsive and has made herself or someone else from her team available when needed (even in an emergency situation). PJ is friendly and has my dog's best interest in mind. I love the report card and online payment system! Thanks! :-) read more

We have been using Jamboree Pet Care to sit our cat when we go on family vacations. Steve is so wonderful and caring. Our cat loves Steve and we feel extremely comfortable and safe having having Jamboree in our home. read more

PJ was our regular dog walker for over a year. We were unfortunately in a situation where our dog was in the apartment all day while we worked, and PJ would come at lunch time and take her for walks. I loved seeing the comments she would leave about how Ali enjoyed her walks every day. It was great knowing that PJ could handle our dog's overly-playful and rambunctious personality! The prices were really reasonable, and they seemed to always fit us into their busy schedule. Ali will miss seeing PJ now that we have moved, but we will definitely be calling Jamboree next time we need a dog sitter. Thanks for everything, PJ! read more

Jamboree pet care is wonderful! PJ is so reliable and flexible- I would not have been able to get through nursing school without her (well, I would have had some very unhappy, neglected pets!) Highly recommend!! read more
