To my surprise, she didn't even hesitate and instantly agreed. She was very punctual for our first meet and greet. That gave me comfort that she would be on time for the feeding schedule. I left her written instructions and Tatiana followed them like it was a military operation. She asked a lot of questions which demonstrated that she was not only there for the task at hand, but was there for the wellbeing of my pet. While I was away, Tatiana text me to let me know she had arrived. She sent photos of my pet eating. She left all the supplies as organized as I had left them. She closed the door to my gate as I had instructed her. Heck, she even chopped a chord of firewood for the winter! [Hahah...I don't have a chimney]. My cat's came running to me when she heard the car pull up to the house. But she stopped short when she saw me get out. She had that "OH, it's YOU" look on her face. She went to roam the grounds, presumably to look for her new BFF. YES, Tatiana did a great job!!!

As my work and life keeps me away from home overnight regularly, I needed someone to help with walks and care. Ellen and her team at Highland Bark came highly recommended by the day care Stitch goes to, and they sure delivered on that! They set up a walking and feeding schedule around my work schedule, and when Stitch wasn't comfortable with a house sitter during a trip to the east coast for me, they put together a thrice-daily walking and feeding schedule for him while I was out of town, really pulling through while I was away! I can't say enough good things about this team of dog lovers! I couldn't have gotten through this surgery without them!

I will never use them again after my TERRIBLE experience. Initially used this service for a short business trip with success so tried again for a longer trip to see family between Christmas and NYE. The company sent a sitter I had never met who incorrectly used the pill injector on my sick, elderly cat and forced her to swallow the over inch-long applicator tip. Resulted in $3,000 emergency vet surgery to remove that I had to manage from out of town. So deeply stressful for me but mainly my poor elderly asthmatic cat!! They handled it but SO unnecessary and only happened bc of their bizarre business model where they pick whichever of their employees are available, not someone who knows your house/pet. So if you get one who knows what they're doing you don't necessarily get them again - it's totally random from the customer's perspective. Instead of enjoying my family I had to spend the time managing the emergency they created from afar, stressed and fuming that I trusted this company to send someone competent to care for my sweet older cat. After the first disastrous pill delivery issue they sent the **same person** again a day later who clearly doesn't know how to give a cat medication and she, again, incorrectly gave my cat her medication!!! My cat gets ill if she misses just one day, the medication is a high-dose steroid for her asthma. The employee did not know how to give her the pill, but still marked the medication as administered on their form (I only figured out it didn't happen when I read the notes) and instead of giving her the pill rubbed it on her gums -?!? I am FURIOUS for my poor cat and at the incompetence of this employee they continue to use, along with the management that assured me they know how to give cats medication and yet still sent this individual out after it was proved that they cannot give a cat medication effectively. The other employees seemed to be ok but I had no choice over who they sent over, meaning every visit was a gamble. If you need anything beyond the most basic service, avoid avoid avoid!!!

This review update is loooong overdue. We've been customers of Sitters4Paws for over 6 years now…read moreand they're just fantastic!! The sitters care for our fur babies so lovingly - we always travel with such peace of mind knowing our boys are looked after so well. They have an app now which makes communication even easier - they send emails/messages and many photos with every visit. The sitters follow any instructions very well - we used to have an elderly cat that needed medications and they took care of it no problems! Making reservations for visits in their app is so easy and they approve them very quickly or reach out if there are any issues or questions. They get very busy around major holidays but always make sure to give us a heads up before things get full - above and beyond! On our first visit, a manager came out to the house and met our pets and set us up with a very solid lock box for the house key that the sitters use to enter and exit. They check the mail and will water plants if needed too. They always give our boys so much love and treats and make sure they get some play time in every visit. They fill their food bowls, top off the water fountain, scoop the litter, and even sweep up! Great service! Their prices have gone up quite a bit since we first signed up - but what hasn't nowadays? Lol - their prices are comparable to other sitting companies locally and it's worth it for the peace of mind we get - huge ty to all our sitters and to Sitters4Paws for all your love and care!

Just got back from a 2 week trip abroad and cannot sing LA Pet Sitting enough praises for the care…read morethat our Roland (exotic shorthair cat) received while we were away! Our former pet sitter moved away recently so we were nervous about finding someone like her. Thankfully, we did! All of the upfront communication was done by email. Brooke was very prompt at all replies and me being a phone person - I didn't need to bc she was so well organized and thorough. We were very impressed at the attention to detail on the pet evaluation questionnaire, which also included nuances like lighting preferences, trash and mail. After these details were captured, an in person meet and greet was set so we could meet the sitter in person and show them the ropes. Appreciated this aspect bc vibes are important especially with animals and your home! We knew there was a match when our boy jumped on Paulette's lap! He never does that! Haha We were so blessed to have Paulette assigned to us. Our cat took a liking to her instantly and the daily reports she sent gave us piece of mind while we were away. She took extra care to wipe his eyes (issue of the breed, similar to bulldog) and brush him too. We knew he was in great hands and never had an concerns during our trip, in turn having a relaxing vacation! When we got back home, it seemed like it was even tidied up a bit maybe vacuumed bc I was expected a lot more hair shed! ;) Thank you so much LA Pet Sitting for your efficient business and top notch staff. Highly recommend this company to anyone. The rates are also fair and competitive too.

The first couple times we used Sitter4Paws we had a really great experience with the sitters that were assigned to our senior, diabetic cat. Last year, my mother unexpectedly passed away, and our regular cat sitter was unavailable for half of the trip home. We booked Sitter4Paws the second half of the trip, and let them know about the circumstances and requested sitters that had seen Jodie before so that we could rest easy during a very difficult time. Of course we know that can't always be accommodated due to scheduling, so for the first visit a new sitter came to see Jodie. On the evening of my mother's passing, we got a text from Sitter4Paws that the sitter felt he may have made a mistake with our cat's insulin dosage. It was revealed to us that instead of giving her her normal 2.25 unit dose, he gave her 22.5 units - ignoring the taped off/labeled syringes, our explicit written instructions in the app, and additional photos/diagrams of what a full syringe should look like. Thank god he realized his mistake, otherwise our cat would have slowly died alone in our apartment - and this would have happened immediately after losing my mom. I understand mistakes can happen, but the fact that a sitter was uncertain with potentially life-threatening medication if administered improperly and didn't even think to reach out to us first was quite shocking. Sitter4Paws took full responsibility, admitted their mistake, said they would take steps to make sure something like this would never happen again, and covered her 4 day ER stay, but it never should have gotten to that point. Again - we did have great sitters who took care of our cat wonderfully - but the uncertainty of who you can get especially with medication involved means that we can no longer recommend this service with confidence.

It's his favorite place on EARTH. When I pick him up in the afternoon he falls asleep in the car before we're even out of the driveway, and sleeps hard that night from all the fun he's had all day.
