Christine is very polite and professional, but not a fit for me as a pet sitter! She has several rules and policies in place which you must follow exactly or she will cancel on you. I was a new client and thought I had Christine lined up to watch my cats over the holidays. But since I did not fill out a very lengthy client profile page COMPLETELY prior to our meet-and-greet (no matter it was mostly complete and two weeks prior to the actual pet sitting appt AND that we had confirmed the appts verbally a couple days before with no mention of this), she cancelled on me. I can appreciate the need for certain policies and her attention to detail (as I'm sure it is applied to pet care as well) but just prefer a pet sitter who is more easy-going and much easier to work with. I am also looking for one who does not charge a key return fee--I don't like the idea of giving someone my house keys to 'keep on hand' or paying them just to get them back. read more

Christine at Pridey Girl Petcare is the best dog walker and pet care provider you will find in La Mesa. I moved here from Minneapolis in January 2014 and had a loving, devoted dog walker back home. I was so worried about finding someone new who I could trust in my home and trust with my sweet little sheltie, Miss Ryan. I'm single and occasionally travel, so I also need someone who can take her when I'm out of town. Christine and I had an instant connection, and even more importantly, she and my sweet little dog had the same connection. She does geo-location check ins and status updates with Instagram and Facebook, which is great for me to see my dog on her Facebook page, but also a wonderful and practical use of social media marketing. If you need a dog walker in La Mesa, I cannot recommend Pridey Girl Pet Care enough. :) read more

I absolutely LOVE Pridey Girl Petcare! They took such amazing care of my Greyhounds while we were out of town. I was able to go on facebook and instagram everyday and see pictures of their fun adventures, and they got along so well with their greyhound, and made new friends. It was so easy to set up, she came over and did a quick meet and greet before we left so she could get familiar with where their food, leashes and treats were. I am so happy to have a new dog watcher that I trust completely with my babies. Thank you!! read more

Immediately upon meeting Christine, you'll feel her love for all living creatures. I can think of no better person to leave in loving care of my three sweet pups! You will find Christine to be reliable, professional and flexible. You'll never need worry about how your pets are doing while you're away, knowing they are getting the attention, love and care they need and deserve. We love you, Christine! Boo Radley, Billy and Bodhi (and Momma, too!) read more

I cannot express how lucky I am to have Christine and Pridey Girl Pet Care as the crew that I trust with my babies. As a full-time student with a job and a commute, I am grateful that she is able to accommodate my busy schedule whenever I need it. There have been many time I have had schedule changes and within a couple hours after emailing Christine, she gets back to me and never says no about the scheduling my dogs. Being away from my pets is difficult because they are getting up there in age and its always nice when I receive pictures from the visits. She always goes above and beyond. I rarely write reviews but I honestly feel this company and Christine are review worthy.! read more

I can't say enough amazing things about Pridey Girl. My dog, Lewis, is incredibly important to me. He is deaf, so he needs a tab bit of extra love and care from people. Pridey Girl came right in and became his best friend! They have full access to my home and take Lewis on potty breaks while I am at work. Not only that, they consistently go above and beyond by giving him belly rubs, treats, and lots of love while they are there. Since trusting them with Lewis, I can now focus on work while I'm at work and I'm not constantly worried about how Lew is doing. I know they care about Lewis and they think he's as special as I do. If I can't be home with him all day, Pridey Girl is the next best thing! read more

Pridey Petcare - One (of many) satisfied customers!! - Pet Sitting Near Me

We searched high and low for a trust worthy loving pet sitter and came across Christine. Our babies (Gizzmo & Goldie) love love love her which to us is not only peace of mind but complete confidence in her abilities. We have used many dog walkers and two sitters in the past and G & G have found a new love. Thank you Christine. D & M read more

Pridey Girl is the only way to go. We have a rescued greyhound and two Chihuahua-ish girls. They have all been abused in some way or another and have never been without us. C.C. knew just how to handle them. With updates via texts and video, we were finally able to get away for long overdue vacation. This is the only petcare service we will use. They rock! read more

Our usual cat sitter was not available over Thanksgiving but they referred us to Pridey Petcare. We were a bit worried about using a new sitter since we had a really bad experience with a previous sitter who let one of our indoor cats out and it took us 11 days to find him. But Pridey Petcare immediately eased our concerns with their professionalism and thoroughness. I knew after we met them and signed the contract that we had nothing to worry about. Suffice it to say that Pridey Petcare did a wonderful job taking care of our cats while we were away over Thanksgiving and I would not hesitate to use them again or recommend to others looking for a professional, reliable, and caring pet care service. read more

If I could give Christine and Pridey Girl Pet Care a 1,000,000,000 stars I would! We have a 17 year old kitty and 8 year old pug mix that are our babies. We LOVE them so so so so so much and they are both beyond spoiled hahaha. We have held back on doing more travel because of the guilt and worry about leaving our pets. Well not any longer! I met Christine over two years ago when she became a customer of mine. I knew then that she was such a sweet, loving, warm and compassionate person and we would both chat about how much we love our animals, sharing pet stories with each other. She came in to see me about two weeks ago and mentioned that she had started a pet sitting/walking business and I was BEYOND ECSTATIC! We had talked about her taking care of Lou and Emily when we go on vacation in a month or two WELL we ended up needed her much much sooner. With less than a week's notice we needed her help so we could go to Coachella. We immediately made arrangements for her to come to our home and meet Louie and Emily. She came over the very next day for a meet and greet/snuggle session and they loved her. We went over all of the pet mannerisms, favorite toys, games, treats, food schedule, medications, even down to Louie's fav neighborhood to go poop! haha. Not only that she had us do a complete intake of everything concerning our pets and our home so if there was an emergency she would be prepared. That is just the beginning...we received at least two updates and photos of our babies each day via text (which I love). Louie got two nice long walks each day AND he even got an extra walk one afternoon because she was in the neighborhood (lucky boy!), she cleaned the kitty box even though we said not to worry about it because we would do it when we got home. She even kept a detailed daily check list /log of all care given each day. Plus a very nice hand written thank you note when we arrived home! Louie and Emily almost seemed a little disappointed that it was just us walking through the door today and not there new BFF Christine hahaha. Our babies received the absolute best care, love, attention and lots of snuggles. I knew that they were happy, safe, and loved which allowed this crazy pet owner to relax and actually enjoy my weekend away. In a nut shell: Christine is so professional, loves animals with all of her heart, has such a kind and gentle soul. My pets love her and I love her! I have and will continue to recommend her to everyone! Thank you so very much! E, I, Louie & Emily read more

We've asked Prideygirl to come and care for our biggo rambunctious pups several times and they are always well taken care of. PrideyGirl even goes so far as to play fetch with our younger pup to really wear her out after her walks. Also, I've never had any issues scheduling services and they're always very accommodating for our schedules. We most definitely recommend their services as they can be trusted with your bundles of joy. read more

Christine and Ty were absolutely l wonderful with our 4 babies (2 cats and 2 dogs). We worked with them for a year and they were always extremely professional and I just know that our babies loved their time with them. I loved the pic updates on Facebook every day and that I could easily book my weeks out online. We were so bummed to move to north county and have to lose their services. :( Thank you both for taking such amazing care of our fur children!! We greatly appreciate it! read more

Christine at Pridey Girl is the ultimate professional animal lover! From our first correspondence, Christine was super attentive and a meet and greet was scheduled immediately. My mini-dachshund fell in love with her right away and I knew Christine was the right choice. We had a few hiccups trying to get out of town and Christine was MORE than accommodating to our issues. That alone was SO appreciated. When we finally got our act together, Christine helped us out big time and kept in constant communication on social media and via text. It was so nice to be out of town with a 'clear head' and not worry about the "kids". I highly recommend Christine. She truly cares about animals and is a pleasure to work with. She's definitely the one you want taking care of your furry babies. Thanks Christine! read more

Professional, personable and trustworthy owners. Good prices. Definitely using their service again soon! Highly recommended.

We have used Pridey Girl Petcare numerous times. Numerous, because there is no reason to look elsewhere, when all is right with in-home pet care while we are gone. Friendly, thorough, and professional are the best descriptors for this family owned and operated service. I think they just expanded their area of care and service. They have my strongest endorsement, because Pia and Joey Ramone love them. That's all you need to know. read more

PG is the best pet sitting service in San Diego! We are so blessed to have a safe and reliable caregiver for our fur babies when we go on vacation. Christine & her team are professional and have excellent attention to detail. I would not trust my kitties with anyone else. read more

I can not say enough about the awesome care my little westie gets from Christine and Ty. I work really long shifts and have the comfort of knowing she is taking care of by people who are so compassionate about animals and truly care about my girl. They are flexible with my schedule and last minute changes. I feel very lucky to have found them. read more

Pridey Girl Petcare watched my two cats while we were on our honeymoon, and I could not be more pleased with their services! Very professional, kind, reliable, and a lover of all animals--what's not to love! The Instagram check-ins and online notes gave us peace of mind while we were away, and then returning to a preserved, tidy home, with happy kitties was perfect! I will definitely be using Pridey Girl again for our future trips! read more

I highly highly recommend Christine and her team! I trust her with my house and dogs, she is reliable and extremely flexible and has helped me in a bind if I am hung up at work! I can't imagine using another team to care for my house and dogs! They are truly amazing!!!!! read more

Christine & Ty are amazing. They have been walking and caring for my dog since I adopted him last year. They are professional and courteous and you can tell they love what they do. As a first time dog owner I feel so much better leaving for work knowing that they will come take care of my dog. They have even given me training and other pet care recommendations. I'm so glad that me and my dog have found them. The only ones I would trust in my home and with my pet. read more

Pridey Girl Petcare has cared for our two cats a few times when we've gone out of town. They're the best! We would recommend them for pet sitting without hesitation. They are kind and professional, and we've returned to find our cats relaxed, happy and healthy. It is so nice to have someone we can trust to come into our home and make sure our kitties are safe, fed and cared for. We tried leaving our kitties at boarding service once, but it was absolutely heartbreaking to leave them because they were so scared. Pridey Girl cares for them in our home, so we know they're comfortable. We also appreciate seeing the photos and videos of our cats and their other four-legged clients on their Instagram feed while we're away. Good people, happy pets. read more

Pridey Girl has been caring for our cats for a few years now and we could not be happier with their service and attention to detail. Our cats are getting older and require a little more TLC. Our expectations are met and exceeded every time! Thank you to Pridey Girl for caring for our pets like they were their own. If you need a pet sitter, you can't do better than Pridey Girl!! read more

I've used Pridey Girl Petcare for the last few months and they have been terrific! I have a 10 month old puppy and a 14 year old and I have full trust in their care. They have full access to my home to take care of my babies while I am at work. I was in a bind and they even helped me find in home care while I had to travel out of the country. I highly recommend them as they are professional, trustworthy and reasonably priced in the market. read more

Christine is amazing! My Golden Retreiver, Sasha, is 12-years-old and her legs are failing her. I wouldn't trust anyone to give her the loving care and gentle attention that Christine provides. When I leave her, my daughter's two pet rats, and my four fish at home while I need to leave town, Christine brings me peace of mind that not only will everything be taken care of with care and diligence, but I even get texts with updates and photos! LOVE Pridey Girl Petcare!! read more

Thank you Pridey Girl Pet Care for giving me the confidence to leave home and be worry free! I know when I leave my two cats (my babies) in your care they will not only be taken care of but they will be shown lots of extra love and attention!!! I appreciate the ease of communication, the text mssgs, and even picture updates I get when I'm out of town! I trust Pridey Girl with my loves every time I leave knowing they will be safe and cared for with love! read more

Professional, flexible and kind! Pridey Girl Petcare provides the perfect fit. Christine watched our fuzzy family (2 dogs and 3 indoor/outdoor cats) for 5 days while we were away on vacation. Our situation is somewhat complicated and requires cat-wrangling every evening. Our minds were at rest during the trip knowing that our pets were in loving hands and under competent care. We returned to a happy pack and a perfectly preserved home. We're fortunate to have found Pridey Girl Petcare. All of us look forward to seeing Christine again! read more

Thank you guys SO MUCH for saving us during the recent festive season at such short notice! It is obvious the continued love and passion you have is completely reflected in your care. We had complete certainty and did not even have to worry with the daily updates and pics of our babies. Beyond grateful and when we got back our babies were looking for you! Thank you for loving our babies nearly as much as we do. read more

We have tried other Pet Sitters and no one can compare to the professionalism CC and her team demonstrate on every visit. I am overseas quite often and the extra help they provide my working wife helps out so much. I have NEVER had a reservation request rejected and have NEVER had a single bad thing to say about Pridey Girl Petcare. We have a special needs dog who requires extra attention after feeding. CC took the time to really understand what it takes to deal with a MEGA E puppy and has not failed us once. Thank you, thank you, thank you for everything you have done for us. You deserve TEN stars!!!! read more

Christine has the right touch with our dogs. Sam is a good time boy with squirrel and kitty issues and we are completely comfortable knowing he is in capable and loving hands when out for walks. Caera is our special needs girl as she has cancer and epilepsy. She requires precise dosages of medicines and specific times of the day and we are grateful for Christine's experience, judgment, decision-making, and pet handling skills. Christine is creative, reliable, and keeps us updated through picture texts while we are gone. We never wonder if Caera is ok as long as Christine is around. Thank you Christine for giving our dogs loving, safe, and friendly care; and for giving us peace of mind and a good time while on our trips! Everett and Dan Caera and Sam PS...we love the freshly washed dog food bowls...what a wonderful touch! read more

WooHoo! As good as it gets! is right!! Our almost 2-year old lab/golden thinks his new BFF is the best thing since the invention of puppy frozen yogurt treats! Pridey Girl Pet Care guarantees Wags, Walks, and Love and Christine delivers without fail. She's professional and oozes, I LOVE your precious little buddy. The schedule confirmations, notes, photos, and updates reassured us that all was always well. You think we'll use her services again? YOU BET! read more

Great pet sitters! I'm very particular and it's just my nature to spell out every detail of what needs to be done (slightly annoying but that's me!). I did this the first time I used Pridey Girl last year. Then the second time I was so at ease I didn't feel the need to leave much instruction at all. They have all my info. They know what my pets' needs are and they meet them. My Piper and Meri are always at ease and very happy when I return. Pridey Girl does a great job and I have great peace of mind when travelling knowing that my pets are in good hands! I appreciate how thorough they are and how forthcoming they are with their policies, pricing and basically everything. They are wonderful to deal with in every way. :) read more

Ty and CC did a wonderful job watching over our cats and dog while we were on a long vacation. There were no surprises (due to daily logs on leashtime) and lots of happy critters (as seen on Instagram). Our dog was VERY happy to see Ty again when he stopped by - a very good sign indeed. :) read more

Love the service. The daily check up log and Instagram photo of your pet is really cool. Most importantly, when I came back from my 4 day vacation, my dog looked very relaxed and happy. That really impressed me, since it was my dog's first time under Pridey girl's care. Thank you Ty. read more

This was very convenient, as we've bugged our friends on many occasions. Less stressful on the dogs and less work for us to have a pet sitter come stay with the pups when we went out of town. It seems like a hard job for the pet sitter in a way (having to stay elsewhere), but it is so much better for doggies, who you cannot explain the concept of a boarding kennel to. Our dogs were both rescues so the thought of putting them in a kennel for our vacations is so hard! We haven't done it yet and hopefully never will. It's also safer to have someone stay in your home than have no one in your home when you're away! Thanks so much for watching our girls. :) read more

Well, I second, and third, all of the previous glowing remarks...I feel so lucky to have Christine & Pridey Girl take care of my 2 pugs whenever needed, and I love, love, love the photos and updates they send! But the real kicker was during the recent outbreak of fires - I was out of town and my husband works 30+ minutes away and I was concerned that we might need to be evacuated. Christine volunteered to pick up my dogs and ensure they were safe, if necessary. Talk about going above and beyond!! read more

You can have complete confidence in Christine taking care of your pet while you're away. She is friendly and professional and you can tell how much she loves animals. I had a young kitten that needed feedings every 4-6 hours and she got us through that stressful time and I will ever be thankful. As my kitten got older I appreciated the time she took to play with him and I just loved that she sent me a text update from every visit, with an adorable photo. A wonderful person providing a great service! Highly recommended! read more

Christine took amazing care of our dog!! We are so happy we found her. We recently adopted a dog who has her own issues (can't walk her due to her anxiety to cars and dogs but we're working on it) but is high energy, so she needs exercise through backyard play...and lots of it. We came home to a happy and tired pup!! Thanks so much. read more

I am so thankful for Ty and Christine! I just moved to the Hillcrest area and was pleasantly surprised to find Pridey Girl Petcare. They were able to look after my 2 cats (Milo and Nina) while I was on business travel for several weeks! I was very happy to come home to happy cats. Ty and Christina kept my feline family fed, their litter boxes cleaned and they even took care of little odds and ends that I needed. I am grateful that I don't have to put my family members in a kennel when work calls me away! Thanks!! read more

Not a fan AT ALL of this pet care service. I had been using them for occasional daycare and for walks when I had a back injury. I had another pet care provider that I preferred (Kari from Home Away From Home Canine Care-awesome 5 stars!!!) and would only use Ceci and Ty when my preferred provider wasn't available. I had been with Ceci and Ty for about 2 years when I made plans for an extended daycare service with them for August 2015 (Kari was going on vacation). These plans were made far in advance, Apr to May timeframe, due to my very hectic work schedule that required me to schedule out 5-6 months. In mid July, Ceci wrote to me to tell me that they had decided to take a family vacation during my time of need and that they would not be able to take care of my beloved....no apology. I was left scrambling to find additional care....thankfully I met folks at Petsmart Hotel in El Cajon (5 stars) to help me out. I found Ceci and Ty's actions very irresponsible and considered that strike one. Had I known that they could not watch my beloved, I would have taken time off work myself, yet they left me in a bind because I could not cancel my patients at work on such a short notice. I then injured my back and hired Ceci and Ty for weekend 2x a day walks only to have problems with them changing pricing on me in the middle of my back crisis without my consent. It felt very much like price gauging (Strike 2). When I questioned their pricing practices and asked to get clarification of a $2 a walk increase they got insulted by my innocent inquiry. They also got upset by my comments that they were getting way too expensive and that I wasn't going to be able to afford them anymore if they continued to raise their prices. I found their response to my inquiry very unprofessional and turned to Yelp to see if anyone else had had similar issues. I asked Ceci and Ty to clarify their 2 star Yelp review (see below) since it seemed similar to the issues I was having with them. Ceci and Ty were horrified that I would ask them to give me their side of the story re: one of their poor reviews and cancelled all future services on me. Oh my goodness!! What made matters worse is that they don't return phone calls and only communicate by email or text. They told me they were too busy to communicate by telephone. Long time clients that are upset about unannounced price increases and last minute cancellations really should be able to communicate by phone. I think had Ceci and Ty taken the initiative to call me to discuss my issues, this one star review wouldn't have occurred. Too bad, so sad. Strike 3, you're out! read more
