This place is almost always running behind, especially if there is an emergency (like today) or if someone shows up late (like today), but we who are on time should not be made to wait because of someone else's lateness.

Unfortunately, I found the experience to be a bit underwhelming for the price point. The veterinarian didn't come across as particularly inquisitive, warm, or welcoming, which left me unsure about the level of care. The clinic also felt a bit backed up, and it took several minutes to get through the line at the front. While the front desk staff were professional, they weren't especially warm or friendly -- something I expected given the neighborhood. Overall, it wasn't a bad visit, just not quite aligned with what I was hoping for.

At home, Basia doesn't even want to leave the house for a neighborhood walk but the moment I ask if she wants to go to "Camp Carolyn," she gets so excited and runs straight for the garage.

Carolyn has a massive heart for animals and I can tell by Basia's excitement that the dogs are truly loved and well cared for. I highly highly recommend Carolyn to anyone looking for boarding or socialization!

This update is a bit overdue (this happened last year in April of 2025), but it's been a very tough…read moretime. 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.

We had never used a professional pet sitter before, as our cat Harper is usually cared for by my…read morein-laws when we're away, so we were naturally a little nervous trying something new. From the very beginning, the entire process was easy, professional, and reassuring. Barbie, the owner, was incredibly responsive and took the time to answer all of our questions. We asked for her honest opinion about whether 15-minute or 30-minute visits would be more appropriate for Harper, and we really appreciated that she gave us thoughtful, unbiased advice based on his needs rather than simply recommending the longer visit. That honesty gave us a great deal of confidence that Harper's well-being was always the priority. Our sitter, Lindsay, was absolutely wonderful. She was kind, caring, and clearly took the time to get to know Harper rather than simply stopping by to complete a checklist. The updates after each visit were one of our favorite parts of the service. We received thoughtful notes and videos by text after every visit. We especially appreciated that everything came through text rather than requiring a separate app. The communication was outstanding and gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were away. We genuinely looked forward to Lindsay's notes and videos after each visit. Her thoughtful updates let us follow Harper's progress throughout our trip, and it was wonderful to see him become more and more comfortable with her. When she told us he had even let her pick him up, we knew just how much trust he had developed. When we arrived home, Harper was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Lindsay even left us a thoughtful handwritten note and drawing, which was such a sweet personal touch. We couldn't have asked for a better first experience with a professional pet sitter. We will absolutely use this service again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate in-home pet care.

We were very nervous to try a new dog walking service after relocating to west LA from Chicago, but with both of us working full time with commutes it became a priority very quickly. After some research I contacted Sitter4Paws with a few questions and to set up a meet and greet. They were (and continue to be) so responsive, kind and flexible - I knew we had made the right decision from the start. The daily updates/pictures we receive from the walks always put a smile on our faces, and we have never once been concerned that our dog wasn't being taken care of. I truly cannot recommend them enough! They go above and beyond when it comes to taking care of our dog, and we are so grateful for their service.

After spending a few days in the Hermosa area we wanted to head to Vegas, but we had our dog along and we couldn't leave him unattended. We ended up reaching out to Animal House Pet Pros thru Yelp and the owner Brian responded within minutes. Brian was super helpful, professional and I knew I could trust him, as Animal House Pet Pros had been in business for 17 years. Since we would be gone for 3 days we asked Brian to walk Buster 3 times a day and do an overnight stay on the 2nd night. All throughout Animal House's interaction with Buster, we were sent multiple pictures and we were communicated with whenever we requested. Upon returning from our trip we knew Buster was well exercised, happy and well taken care of. If you are shopping for a full-time, or part-time pet sitter, we highly reccomend Animal House Pet Pros!

And it takes something special for us to feel like we can let someone new into our home and watch our babies. Teri and her daughter Tera fit the bill exactly. They ended up staying way longer than they probably had anticipated during the pre-visit (when they first got to meet our cats) because they were both so easy to talk to and they had the patience to wait for our cats to get brave enough to come out of hiding and meet them. We received pictures on Facebook which helped us feel like our babies were being well cared for while we were away, we got a little day-by-day summary of how each one did for us to read when we came back, and we were given their personal cell numbers in case we needed anything. Seriously, it doesn't get any better than these fantastic pet lovers. And their rates can't be beat. Teri and Tera, from both my wife and I, thank you so much and we can't wait to have you come back the next time we go out of town. Summary: You'd be crazy not to hire Teri's Sitting Service to watch your loved animals.

It's nice to come home to notes to update on what they did during her visit and seeing (reading) how my dog settled into having Teri around by doing all the silly things she does makes me smile. Our dog is our baby and it's a great peace of mind to find someone who is trustworthy (she has key to the house) and LOVES my dog as much as we do is truly priceless.
