I am so happy with Edie & Jannah. When I had to work long hours it alleviated my stress knowing my dog Zelda was in good hands, being visited by people who would not just let her out, but give her genuine physical affection, and lots of belly rubs! My schedule would change frequently, and they were very understanding with my last minute requests - I was concerned at times that I was burdening them but they never acted that way at all. I would receive pictures and updates on every walk with how she did. I've saved some of these photos as my favorites. They got to know her, and her quirks, and I appreciate that they noticed these things. Even their questions on their initial forms were more thoughtful than any other form I've seen from other companies. Thank you Edie & Jannah! read more

We have 2 cats. We adopted them during the pandemic and this was the first time we went on a family trip since then. First thing that came to mind was to check them into a pet hotel, but it just felt wrong... Cats don't like changes, they like their familiar hiding spots and their routines, and they really don't need a whole lot of attention. I felt like a pet hotel would be a little stressful for our cats... I got them an automatic food dispenser before the trip, so all I really needed was someone reliable to check on them once a day, empty their litter box and refresh their water. I considered asking our neighbors or a friend to help out with that, but I also didn't want to give them a chore during Thanksgiving week... I found Pet Sitter Carmel Valley here on Yelp and thought they would be perfect for my needs. And indeed they were perfect! Edie and Jen are super friendly and very professional. They stopped by before our trip to meet me and see the cats, they asked all the questions, took the house key and we were all set and ready to go! Jen would text me everyday after her visits to let me know how the cats were doing and she always sent me a few pictures - what was really nice to see when we were missing our fur balls! She even managed to bond with one of our cats I thought would never come out of under the couch when we were away!!! :) I'm so glad I found these ladies! We will definitely reach out to them again next time we travel and recommend them to neighbors with pets. They are genuine pet lovers! read more

Cheryl has looked after my two cats quite a few times in the past year and has done a great job. She sends us updates, waters our plants, brings in the mail, and of course takes good care of our kitties. They even come out when she's around. She has also been very flexible with our last minute requests and has managed to make time for our kitties even at the last minute. I would definitely recommend her for anyone who is looking for a reliable pet sitter who truly loves animals. read more

I have been working with Cheryl now for 3 trips and have another trip coming up in October, so I'll be calling her again. Cheryl is a pro and very thorough. I like how many questions she asks up front so leaves nothing to ask later. Her colleague Tina is a joy to have over, she truly loves our cat and dogs and they can not wait to see her. I love a company that has integrety. I found Cheryl and Pet Sitters San Diego after a quick search online and have not had to search since. I recommend Cheryl and Tina with my home keys and my fur children! read more

If I could give 6 stars I would. I never write these reviews, but Cheryl and especially Edie were a life saver for me and my new Lab Pup! Edie came every day to walk our Lando (who was a stubborn 6 month old puppy), and boy did he lover her! He would lay by the door in the afternoon after she left waiting for her to come back. Edie sends updates of her walk and often sends pictures. Lando is always well exercised after a walk with Edie and it has been such a relief to trust someone to come into my home and take care of my boy. I highly recommend her if you need help walking your dogs during the day. Trustworthy, flexible and just caring. Couldn't be happier! read more

Cheryl and Edie are so awesome! They came over for a free consultation to meet my cat and took a lot of time asking great questions and specific details to really get to understand what I'm seeking and more importantly what my kitty likes and needs. Every day Edie showed up on time and really noticed the details and offered me daily updates with many photos, what she took care of, how she interacted with my kitty and any concerns she noticed. I was VERY impressed with the prompt and thorough daily and on time updates, level of care she had and the fact that she genuinely loved my kitty as it was her own. Edie immediately bonded with my kitty and was petting her and she just really understood our needs. I can't thank Cheryl and Edie enough for the outstanding service, THANK YOU! I can now feel relieved going on vacation knowing I have a team that can do it all, including give meds, check mail and water the plants. Thank you! read more

I highly recommend Cheryl and her team at Pet Sitter Carmel Valley!! Cheryl has been part of our family for the last 10 years and we couldn't have survived without her! She is trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely loves animals. She's not just a dog walker to us - she is a friend. I echo the sentiments of other reviewers - we have no worries when Cheryl's team is watching our animals because we know Cheryl takes care of them just like we would. Our animals are always so relaxed when we come home to them after Cheryl's care. Cheryl is also a great communicator so we always know how our animals are doing under her care. She works with us on providing consistent training for our new puppy and the result has been great. She has gone above and beyond to help us in a pinch so many times (schedule changes, last minute walks, etc) and I honestly don't know what what we'd do without her. read more

We all know pets are our family. So when looking for a sitter, we don't want someone to just watch our loved ones. We want a sitter to actually care. Look no further than Cheryl and her team. Cheryl and Helen took team duties on watching my two pups while I was away. They both made time to come by for an intro visit where they both took notes on how I take care of my dogs and to get to know my furry kids. One of my dogs is a bit difficult, and they were patient in getting to know him. They did all they could to make sure my dogs were cared for the way they're used to and even picked up my mail while I was gone! The best part of their services is that they send a detailed log after each visit that you can access through a text link. Helen even included pics of her playing with Smoki and Bandit to give me extra assurance they were being well taken care of. All of this was done at rates either competitive to other sitters, or even lower from what I am used to being charged! Reach out to Cheryl if you are in need of trusting and loving pet sitters. My dogs thank me for finding them :) read more

Cheryl has taken care of my two fur babies (cats) for several years now and they love her! I received daily updates along with pictures and this provides me with so much peace of mind while I am traveling. I highly recommend her services! read more

Cheryl is amazing! She is the best pet sitter & dog walker, we feel so lucky to have found her. We have standing dates with her to come during the week while we are at work so our pup can get some exercise and fresh air, and she sends us a full report via text & email on the time she arrived, how long their walk was, and a note on how our pup did which I greatly appreciate and enjoy receiving. She is also flexible and works with us on last minute requests to visit for a walk, which is a nice treat for him because he adores her. She is very professional, and easy to contact via text and responds right away. We appreciate all that she does for us since our pup means so much to us, we know he is in good hands. read more

Cheryl & Linda are amazing!! We highly recommend them. Our dogs are a bit special need-one is blind, and one is quite anxious. I've always been so nervous leaving our dogs with anyone. However, Cheryl and Linda were amazing with them. They met us twice before our trip, were very well organized, and put our minds at ease. We got picture/text updates daily which assured me that our pups were great and having fun. Now we have the freedom to travel more, and we know that our puppies will be safe, sound, and happy!! Thank you so much!!! read more

Pet Sitter Carmel Valley - Dog Walkers Near Me

We've been using Cheryl as our dog walker for 2 years now. She's exceptional! She's very kind, responsive, organized, professional and willing to accommodate detailed requests when caring my for our senior dogs. We are grateful for Cheryl! read more

I'm still having Cheryl and her team (Helen and Edie) take care of my pets. I need their services a lot! Because I have many pets (3 cats, 2 dogs and a fish tank), it doesn't make sense to have to take them somewhere (and I can't take the fish). They are very comfortable in their home. Cheryl and her team are responsible and make sure they know and execute all your requirements. When my pets require medicine, they are happy to help with that too. I am extremely happy with their service and don't know what I'd do if they weren't available. Thank you so much for ALL your help. read more

I cannot say enough great things about Cheryl and Pet Sitter San Diego! We've been utilizing her services since September 2011, and couldn't be happier. Our little Pomeranian, literally runs and jumps in Cheryl's arms when she comes to visit. We used to board our dog when we went out of town, but she seemed so depressed when we returned home and got sick a few times, so we sought out an alternative form of pet care and I'm happy to say that we never worry about leaving her anymore. We 100% trust Cheryl, who is responsible, professional and most importantly AMAZING with animals. She even texts us photos daily to let us know how great our baby is doing. Thank you to Cheryl and Pet Sitter San Diego for being so great! read more

Cheryl recently looked after our three kitties while we were away on vacation. She did a fantastic job - above and beyond what was expected. When one of our shy kitties didn't come out during Cheryl's visit, she went back later that day just to make sure everything was ok. She even made sure our hummingbird feeders were kept full (no small task as we've had as many as 50 birds feeding at a time!) We'll definitely be calling on Cheryl for future trips. read more

Cheryl & Pet Sitter San Diego have been caring for my pets since 2012, and I couldn't be happier. I travel frequently for work and my two cats get super anxious when I'm away... which makes ME anxious worrying about their well being. I tried boarding services, but it was too traumatic my cats. Home care was the only option, and Cheryl & team made it really easy! Sending me occasional text messages and photos while I'm gone lets me know everything is going fine. Most importantly, the cats are totally non-plused when I get home. They're like, "Oh, it's you. You're back?" It's like I never even left. That's precisely the outcome I'm looking for, and Pet Sitter San Diego delivers every time. A++ service. read more

Cheryl has pet sat our kitty, Myrtle, several times now and we could not be happier! She sends daily updates, asks all the right questions prior to her visits, most importantly, Myrtle adores her! Definitely recommend her and her team!!! read more

Cheryl has watched my two kitties a few times when I have been out of town and she has been wonderful!! She is flexible on scheduling and provides an update and pictures with every visit to really give you piece of mind - and you get to see your pets :). Its great to have someone you can trust with your pets when you are away! read more

Cheryl has been my go to pet sitter for more years than I can recall. I travel frequently, and I've come to rely on her to take care of our cat, Missy. In years past, she also took care of two other cats who have since passed on. Cheryl is responsible, caring and incredibly reliable. Both she and now Heather, who recently started working with her, are much loved by Missy. Her detailed reports are on my counter when I return, and I also get occasional pet portraits sent when I'm traveling. I can't recommend Cheryl enough! read more

First off, I would like to say that I am VERY weary about who comes into my home and who takes care of my babies. That being said, I was extremely stressed out when I found myself in a situation where I had nobody in town to watch my two kitties, my bunny and fish. The place we normally board them was booked, my rooommate was gone, and I was freaking out!! After some online research, I ended up finding Pet Sitter San Diego, and emailed Cheryl about my situation. She was willing to book a consultation with me that week, and even had the availability to watch my babies the following week. Cheryl is a compassionate, friendly, animal lover who showed every interest in making sure that both the animals AND my boyfriend and I were comfortable. She has obviously been pet sitting for a while, and she knew every question to ask - including personalized play time ideas for the kitties :) While we were away, she sent us daily updates and videos!! Being a pet mommy with separation-anxiety, this was HUGE for me!! Upon coming home, the animals were happy and affectionate, there was a daily log on the kitchen counter, and the litter box was nice and clean. One of my kitties gets especially naughty when we are away, and Cheryl even managed to get things back in order for us without any complaints. We had a perfectly positive experience with her, and will welcome her back into our home next trip! read more

Cheryl is amazing! We are so happy to have found her! She took amazing care of our two doggies while we were on vacation and it was so nice to return to happy, stress free pets! She took very good care of them while we were gone and we were very impressed with her detailed questions prior to our leaving - she knew all the right questions to ask and we felt that nothing was overlooked. Her assistant Linda was awesome too and we really enjoyed getting daily messages from them about how our babies were doing. These ladies absolutely deserve a five star rating! read more

Our family is very thankful and we feel very blessed to have found Cheryl and Linda from Pet Sitter San Diego. We have used Cheryl's services for three family trips now and feel confident in knowing our furry and finned babies will be well taken care of and given the loving attention and care while we're away. We love that they give updates and keep a log of our pets daily activities, too! Thank you, thank you from the bottom of our hearts to Cheryl, Linda and Pet Sitter San Diego! We really cannot say enough good things about this business! Reliable, responsible, caring, kind and trustworthy! :-) read more

Cheryl has been walking my 2 pups now for several months since we moved into the Carmel Valley area. She's awesome. My pups love her, and she's super easy to work with, from scheduling walks, dinner feeding to making changes if needed. I don't have a set schedule with her since I only need walks irregularly; and Cheryl is super flexible and super helpful when it comes to short-notice (I always try for 24 hour notice) requests. I'm so happy to have Cheryl take care of my pups and can highly recommend her! read more

Cheryl and Helen recently took care of our two dogs, one of which is extremely shy and afraid of strangers. They made a great effort to "connect" with the dogs via several pre-visits. Their efforts definitely paid off as both dogs bonded nicely and seemed to look forward to their visits. If you have a shy dog who needs a little extra TLC, I would definitely recommend Pet Sitter Carmel Valley. read more

Cheryl Arthur has taken great care of our dog, Callie, for several years whenever we are out of town. We have always had peace of mind knowing that Callie would be well taken care of while we were away. Cheryl possesses a strong love for dogs. We well remember the time she took into her home a neighbor's dog who was not getting the proper care when its owner had left the country for a job related trip. Cheryl volunteered to walk the dog as often as she could at no charge and eventually took the animal into her home to live permanently. Cheryl's rates are very reasonable when compared to others, but more importantly, we are always grateful to have such a responsible and loving person like Cheryl to care for our Callie. Callie is grateful as well!" read more
