This business advertises themselves as pet sitting and even puts it as one of their services, yet when you ask them to watch your dog while you're at work, they say they can't offer that. This is a very confusing and misleading business name. You shouldn't advertise yourself as a pet sitter if that's not what you do. read more

I have used Jan's pet sitting to take care of my cat many times over the past few years and they are excellent. After every visit, they send me an email with a link to a page that describes what was done during the visit, and always includes new pictures of my cat. It is wonderful to see that when I am away. They are quick to respond to messages. read more

I can not say enough good things about Jans team. They are dependable, reliable and responsible. I have been a client for 5 years at least and I feel extremely thankful they exist. Jan is on top of every detail and monitoring your pet , she contacts with any issues or concerns. Her employees are smart and kind. Consider your pet safe and well taken care of... no question! Than you Jan and team!!! read more

Great as a pet sitter, but she ruined my plants by deciding to excessively water them when I did not ask her to water them so that gets her -4 stars. Will not be booking her again after that read more

Jan and her pet sitters are terrific communicators and provide the very best care for our two cats! The website is very easy to navigate once you have a login - scheduling pet sitting, receiving journal entries and photos of every visit are all located on the well designed website. Most importantly, we know that the visits are excellent because we always come back to happy kitties who don't seem to have missed us all that much since they are spoiled with Jan's Pet Sitting! read more

I have been using Jan's Pet Sitting for 2 years and I should have posted this sooner. I have yet to come across such incredible customer service and care not only for my 2 cats but for my home. They are loving, responsible for the animals. One of my cats had an eye problem and I would get updates and advice and visits to the vet while I was away for 2 weeks. Everything is always clean and neat when I come home with a friendly note and updates. They have never said "no" to me even when I make my crazy last minute requests!!!! Amazing! Love them like family read more

Jan's Pet Sitting - Garfield - Pet Sitting Near Me

Used Jan's Pet Sitting again. Did not disappoint. Thanks once again.

For the last year we have trusted Jan with our two beloved dogs. We honestly cant say enough good things about her and her service. Jan and her team really go the extra mile when taking care of your pets. They played, walked and loved our little guys. In the last year we have also found our dogs to be more socialized in public and around strangers. Just another benefit to having Jan and her excellent walkers come to our house 5 days a week Sadly we are moving and one of our biggest disappointments will be that Jan will no longer be taking care of them. We highly recommend her to anyone. Her services was always 100% reliable, trustworthy and most importantly our dogs loved it! read more

I would like to recommend Jan's Pet Sitting to everyone! My partner and I just went on a Cruise and the last time we were on vacation we boarded our cat Jupiter. Jupiter is a great and loving cat, but after being boarded for a week he didn't acknowlege our existance for a about a week! Since Jupiter's well being is very important to me, I couldn't leave him in the hands of just anyone. This time I decided to have a service come in and take care of the little prince. In steps Jan's Pet Sitting! What a God send, she is the best. From the moment that she met Jupiter, I knew she was the right person for the job! Jupiter took right to her and she to him. She talked to him, stroked him and loved on him! He thought he hd died and gone to heaven! When we returned from our cruise, Jupiter was waiting for us as loving as ever! Jan and her great staff left detailed note as to what happened and how Jupiter was doing on a daily basis. They not only feed and took care of his basic needs, they played with him and talked to him. Not only did she take care of Jupiter, they watered my plants, turned on and off lights, opened windows, brought in the mail and put out the garbage! Their rates were incredibly reasonable and I'm going to be using Jan's Pet Sitting again in a couple of months when I go to Palm Desert. Please use her and review her. She is truely a gem and I give her 5 STARS! read more

I am tired of asking my friends to help me feed my cats, scoop the litter when I am on vacation. I found some pet sitter and Jan was the 1st one to reply and keep good communication of introducing herself and services. We usually come home with lots of cat litter on the floor cause my friends will not sweep the litter for us, and the house smells bad after trips. I tired her service last week 1st time, we went for 2 days trip and come home with no mess finally. They changed the water for my cats and floor was not too messy with cat litter. They helped to move the trash bin back to the driveway and pickup the package outside the front yard. I am happy that finally we don't need to depend on my friends to take care of our cats. I can't wait to go for another vacation without worrying about my cats. read more

We have used Jan and her amazing team a couple of times now. Both times they have done an outstanding job taking care of our home and our two kitties. Jan and her team are totally dependable and trustworthy. They take down thorough notes about their visits and we've been very impressed with how observant they are. And not only do they come in to look after your pets, but they also help with other tasks while you are away, like watering your plants, bringing in the mail, taking out the garbage on trash day, etc. Importantly, with Jan's Pet Sitting, our two kitties are always contented and well take care when we come back. There is no question they've received great care from Jan and her team while we are away. We also love how easy appointments are to schedule. Simply use their online system and voila! Note that for new clients, Jan comes by to speak to you for 30 mins or so to see your pets and your home. In our initial visit, Jan not only asked us thorough questions about the care of our cats, but she also asked us about the maintenance of our home (in case they notice something out of the ordinary that they can take care of). Also, for our last vacation, I did not bring an exceedingly important document with me. Michelle from Jan's team called me back right away early AM after I sent them my emergency e-mail (on 2 am after Christmas day!) and asked me very detailed questions about where to find the document, etc. It was FedExed to me the very next day to where I was staying in Canada. I was *extremely impressed* with Michelle's responsiveness and her attention to detail. (THANK YOU, Michelle!) HUGE thanks to Jan, Michelle and the team. You are all so wonderful. read more

Jan's Pet Sitting goes above and beyond. I approached two businesses for an upcoming trip and one was not available; even the other company suggested Jan. Jan was prompt in sending back a quote and called and emailed for follow up information. One of her sitters came out for an intake interview- she was on time (actually I saw she had arrived early and waited until our appointment time) and thorough. Our cat refused to come out for his medication; Jan and her staff tried everything and gave more time and energy to the effort than I would have expected. They really went above and beyond the call. read more

This was the best pet sitting experience ever - Jan is very, very kind and she will visit personally. She gives very good updates. Absolutely worth it. read more

Jan's Pet Sitting - Pet Sitting Near Me

I have been through a few pet sitting services in the area and I am pretty sure I have finally found the best service in the area! Jan and her team of pet professionals go above and beyond. They provide detailed flow sheets each day and will not contact you unless it's an emergency. I finally feel like I have found a pet sitting service who actually do exactly what they say they are going to and in my past experiences, I can't say that was the case. If you love your pets and dont want your pet sitter's nephew, husband, or whomever else they decide to send to your home because they are just too busy to provide the service you've paid good money for, then go with Jan's Petsitting, you wont be disappointed! read more

Jan and her team are THE BEST. If you want complete peace of mind while you're gone, Jan's Pet Sitting is what you need. Michele, Heather, and Jan have taken exceptionally loving care of our kitty on two separate occasions. They write specific notes, keeping track of food, water, exercise, medications, treats, the litter box, as well as various things about the house (mail, watering plants, drawing the curtains, etc.). What I love most about this service are their detailed notes - and here is an example to illustrate: "Emma is carefully watching me from under the bed. She is tracking one of her wand toys but will not come out. However, she slowly came out to the kitchen as I was sitting at the table quietly! She sniffed her food and walked back down the hall...I spoke to her gently and she walked away slowly. All is well with the house." Michele, Heather, and Jan pay attention to the needs of our particular kitty cat - they don't just check off boxes to go through the motions. I'm so happy that we've found pet sitters who treat our kitty with real love!!! read more

Excellent reliable service. Jan cared for our two cats whilst we were in Germany and they were lovingly cared for. Attention to detail and long periods of time spent petting the cats. We were very pleased and such a lovely friendly animal lover. Definately recommend without hesitation. read more

When I lived in San Mateo, Jan's was my go-to pet sitting service. Jan, Alyssa, Heather, and everyone else were amazing and took wonderful care of my two cats. Before taking care of your pets for the first time, they do an in-person consultation, which is a nice way to see how they interact with your animals and vice versa. They are more than willing to send an email or text to you while you are gone to let you know everything is okay. Also, they leave a little "report card" for you, with an entry for each day they visited and a description of what they did with the pets and how the pets behaved. Everytime I returned from a trip, I really enjoyed reading this. Use this service; they are the best! read more

We started using Jan's Pet Sitting a few years ago when we picked up our dog from the kennel and he had lost 10 lbs!! Wish we had switched much sooner. They always did a great job taking care of our dog...even in his senior years when he had physical issues and medications. We always felt comfortable with everyone and really appreciated the detailed reports. So great to return home from a vacation to a happy dog, mail brought in, and garbage taken care of. Our dog recently passed and we received a lovely card with hand written notes from all his past sitters. Very kind. Highly recommend! read more

Though I miss my kitties terribly when I'm away, I am comforted that they are being well taken care of. We've been having Jan visit several times a year for the last four years and have never had any problems. Love!! read more

Jan Brown is a delight to work with. She takes excellent care of my clients' pets when they are out of town. Jan is reliable and friendly, and has a knack for keeping your pets happy while you're gone! read more

I'm very happy with Jan's service. She does a thorough intake to be prepared prior to the day that she and her staff became the caretaker of my cat. She texted me the first day to confirm that she was at my home. I returned to a happy cat, a clean litter box and green plants. This was my first time using her service. I will engage her for my next business trip. read more

Jan's Pet Sitting service has exceeded all our expectations. Jan and Nicole have fed our cats as we had instructed with homemade food, played and petted them, cleaned litter box, watered plants and picked up our mail. In doing all this they went above and beyond what we had expected, they had so graciously cleaned up our cat'shairballs, and a bathroom accident. They also left us detailed notes about everything they have noticed about the cats' behavior. When we returned the cats looked healthy and happy. This truly is an exceptional small local business; Jan really did care about our cats and about doing an excellent a job of taking care of them. We are very impressed with such level of service and commitment to animals; cannot recommend Jan's Pet Sitting highly enough. read more

They are professional, efficient, and always make sure my cat gets white glove service. She used to get upset when we went out of town but now I'm not sure she even notices! read more

We've trusted Jan's Pet Sitting to look after our kitties for many years! They saw our first three kitties through pretty much their entire lives, and went above and beyond in several situations with elderly, ill cats. They are now looking after our two new young ones. The great thing is that Jan and her crew love animals, and it shows. They leave notes every day during the visit to say what the pets are up to and how things went, and they will take the trouble to play with the cats' favorite toys, groom, or do other things the cats like. We love that we can check in by email and they can tell us exactly how things are going, which is reassuring when we're away. A particularly good sign is when Jan has on occasion come by while we're home, the cats are happy to see her! read more

I came home after a four day trip wondering if my kitties were okay. When I walked in the apartment, they both looked at me with a bored expression like, "Who are you again?" That's because Jan's people take such good care of them. In addition to doing all the required tasks, they stay the full 1/2 hour so the boys get a dose of love as well as food and water and a clean litter box. I'm sold on Jan's for cat sitting, you can't get any better. read more

Jan's isn't just a pet sitting service -- they're good, kind people who look out for you, your pet, and your house! We've been using them for over three years, and it only gets better. Thanks, Jan & Co, for all you do! read more

Jan's pet sitting is exactly what our family needed. We had an elderly dog that needed to be checked in on when we went on long day trips. Jan stopped by in the afternoon to walk and check on her. Jan would leave us "report cards" telling us how the dog did. Knowing that such a loving and knowledgeable person was there made us enjoy our trips so much more! read more

I was so lucky to find Jan's Pet Sitting when I moved to the area. They walked my pooch three times a week for about a year, and they never missed an appointment (or forgot to give him a midday cookie and refill his water bowl). The dogs are walked one at a time, so they receive individual attention. I even noticed that my dog's leash manners (pulling and such) have improved some after a few months with Jan's. read more

Extremely reliable and trustworthy business. One of their walkers, Michele, is amazing. I'd trust her with anything. They are real professionals and I trust them completely. Been using them for many years, too. read more

We recently used Jan and her team to care for our two kitties while we were out of town. They did a fantastic job! Left great, detailed notes about our cats, including temperature of house, their appetites and moods. We came home to two content kitties and a spotless house. They swept up all the litter that our cats track endlessly around the house, took out the trash and kept the litter box clean. Since it was our first time using them, we emailed Jan regularly to check-in. She was always very responsive and included detailed descriptions of her visits and the cats. Lastly on the morning we were leaving town, one of the cats escaped outside. We were going to miss our flight if we didn't leave for the airport, so I emailed Jan and asked her to please try to get her back in the house when she came by that afternoon. Thankfully, she did! It wasn't easy, but she is great with animals and was able to get her safely back indoors. Highly recommend Jan and her team! For those unsure, we did not have any personal references when we decided to use her - we simply went off her Yelp reviews and in-person meeting. read more
