Update for 2026. We got an email from Ed & Alex in January 2026 that they will no longer be…read moreoffering cat sitting services going forward and have shifted exclusively to dog sitting/walking. We are grateful for their service while they offered it for kitties, and are very sad that they will not be able to care for our cats anymore. We wish them all the best on their business going forward! Thank you again Ed and Alex.

Retroactively writing a review for Ed and Alexandra given that they no longer offer cat sitting…read moreservices. We have four Ragdolls and used Ed and Alexandra for about two and a half years any time we were going on vacation. It is so clear from our interactions with Ed that he loves animals, and our cats also grew fond of him. He always sent pictures and was extremely thorough detailing what was done during the visits and keeping us updated. We even had an instance where we needed him to assist with a virtual vet consult while we were away and one of our pets got sick, so they really went above and beyond. Rest assured that you can trust Ed and Alexandra with your pets and your home!

It's hard to believe it's been six years since Teddy first started going to Lucky Buddies! We joke…read morethat we're one of the "OGs" because we've been with Yesi since the very beginning--back when she was caring for pups through Rover, long before Lucky Buddies grew into the incredible daycare it is today. Watching Lucky Buddies grow has been such a joy, but what amazes me most is that their heart has never changed. Even as they've expanded, every dog is still treated like family. Teddy has been loved, cared for, and celebrated every step of the way, and there isn't a single person on the Lucky Buddies team that I wouldn't trust with him. They've truly become part of our village. From daycare and baths to transportation, check-ins, and walks, they've made life so much easier over the years. But beyond the services, it's the peace of mind that means the most. I never have to wonder if Teddy is safe, loved, or happy--I know he is. As I prepare to move away, one of the hardest things to leave behind is Lucky Buddies. I honestly don't know how I'll ever find another place like them. They've set the standard for what exceptional dog care looks like, and I will forever be grateful for the love they've poured into Teddy over the past six years. Thank you, Yesi, and the entire Lucky Buddies team, for loving Teddy as if he were your own. It truly takes a village to raise a pup, and I don't know how I would've done these last six years without ours.

I've never had enough good things to say about Lucky Buddies…read more Our dog has been attending their daycare and boarding programs for over a year now. As a rescue, she struggles with separation anxiety, is fearful of new people, and is still a work in progress with her training. Finding a place where she feels safe and loved has meant everything to us. From Juan and Yesica to the entire team, everyone at Lucky Buddies takes exceptional care of our dog every time she visits. Their genuine love for the dogs is evident in the way they interact with and care for them. They know each dog's personality, treat them like family, and it's clear the dogs adore them in return. We also boarded Snowy at Lucky Buddies while we traveled out of the country. It was the first time I had ever been away from her for an extended period, and I was incredibly anxious. The team was so understanding and compassionate. They took amazing care of Snowy and sent me daily updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. Hands down, this has been the best daycare and boarding experience we could have asked for. We trust the Lucky Buddies team completely, and we're so grateful to have found them. Thank you, Lucky Buddies

Daniela is the kind of pet sitter you pray you'll find!…read more I left town and Daniela took care of my 13-year-old cat, and I honestly don't know what I would have done without her. My cat has been going through a rough medical situation and stopped eating, and Daniela didn't just "check in" -- she showed up. When my cat refused food, Daniela got creative in ways I never would have thought of. I could tell she was genuinely upset when my cat wouldn't take her meds. It wasn't just a job to her -- she was emotionally invested in my cat getting better. What blew me away is that she went above and beyond the pet care. I never once asked her to, but she noticed my plants were looking droopy and watered them. I came home to a cat who had been truly cared for, and living plants. She treated my cat like her own, and if you have a pet, she's the person you want in your corner. I'm already booking her for every future trip. Thank you, Daniela, for being so kind and so capable. Five stars isn't enough!!!!

She always kept me well informed of her experiences and observations with the cats during her daily visits. Daniela plays with the cat(s) that wants to interact, attempts to slowly interact with the shy ones, litter boxes are always clean, everyone is well fed, she gives you advice if she notices something that will help their quality of life, very attentive, and she will pick up random hairball or something visible that requires a quick clean/pick up (not just leave hairballs etc there).

I first used Eden's Best Cat Sitting in 2021, when they served a more limited region. I was…read moredevastated when I had to move out of the area of service. However, I reached out again in 2024, they had expanded their area, and I was so glad to be back!!! Stephen's team is exceptional, they follow instructions to a tee, and always go above and beyond when it comes to making sure my cat is cared for. I recently had an unexpected hospital stay and the way they were able to give me peace of mind, I will truly never forget and always appreciate them for that. Booking is very straightforward, invoices are easy to read, and payment is simple. All of it is taken care of in the client portal on their website. I would 100% recommend this service to anyone in the South Bay looking for a reliable team of animal lovers who can give your pets the care and love they deserve when you're away!

I recommend Eden's Best without hesitation!

I have used 4 Paws for about a year, and I have received quality service every time. Danielle, Bianca, and Tiffany pay extra attention to feeding instructions. I love their "right at home" philosophy that works great for my indoor pups. We tried the other large business pup boarding warehouses, which subjected our Schmoogies and Mae Mae to cold concrete walls and floors, and limited daylight. They would often return to us shaking and anxious. I don't have to worry about that with 4 Paws. Our babies return to us smiling, relaxed, rejuvenated, as if we never spent a day apart.

We cannot say enough amazing things about Wag Hotels Santa Clara. Our first beloved husky, Bolty,…read morespent his entire life going here, and it truly became his second home. When he passed at just 7 years old, we were absolutely heartbroken, but the compassion, kindness, and genuine support from the Wag Santa Clara team meant more to us than we can ever express. They didn't just care for Bolty, they loved him. And we felt that every step of the way. Honestly, I think Bolty had some of the best days of his life there... sometimes I even joked he loved it more than being at home with us. During one of the most difficult times in our lives, the team showed us such warmth and empathy. We are forever grateful. Fast forward two years later, we adopted another husky, and sure enough, he is obsessed with Wag Santa Clara too (must be a husky thing ). And we completely understand why. From the moment you walk in, you are treated like extended family. There is a level of trust and comfort here that is truly rare. We can leave knowing our pup is not just being watched, but genuinely cared for and loved as if he were their own. We've boarded our dogs here for years, and even the overnight staff, who you don't often see, show the same level of dedication, compassion, and attentiveness. That consistency says everything. We are huge fans of Wag Santa Clara and highly recommend all of their services from boarding, daycare, and grooming. If you're looking for a place that will treat your pet like family, this is it. Forever grateful

When I used this service: March 1-5 Why I chose Bowser's: I…read moredid 1-2 hours of research: Yelp reviews, calling friends from the dog park/other contacts, etc., and Kim always came highly recommended. Matt from Pawfection told me he refers all his clients to her who are looking for longer pet sitting, and no one has come back disappointed. Overall impression: I cannot speak more highly of Kimberley and Bowser's Buddy Pet Care! She was extremely professional and accommodating and made me feel like part of the Bowser's family from day one! More details: Kimberley is the epitome of professionalism. I really appreciated how she: - validated my sad feelings that I couldn't take him on the trip - had me over the weekend before my trip to see her space and meet the other dogs she was currently taking care of - was in constant contact about times/dates and how my dog Reeses was doing while I was gone - communicated (quickly) with me whenever I sent her a text message or gave her a call - loves my dog like her own (and he loves her back!) Pro-tip: Kim's place is dog HEAVEN. Very dog-friendly and lots of things to keep them entertained and comfortable: doggy door, fenced-in grassy yard, orthopedic beds, etc. etc. She doesn't give discounts, but it's totally worth the price, and that's coming from a med student in tons of debt currently!

I thought we were all set for going away, but then she emails to say that she's changed her mind -- she's not comfortable with pet sitting for us since our cat is elderly, and she can't be sure about any potential health problems.

There aren't many trusted rabbit sitters in the area considering the area has far more dog and cat…read moreowners (I get it as we also have a dog and cat ourselves!) Our rabbit is very important to us so I set out to find the best possible pet sitter in the area for peace of mind, that was when I stumbled upon Furry Friends Pet sitting. We boarded our beloved senior rabbit (who is a very sassy bun) for 11 days as we had to leave for an overseas trip. Barbara is very great at communication from the first contact all throughout the duration of rabbit boarding. Questions are specific as in which veggies are most preferred, hay preference, vaccine and vet information. They also provided an enclosure with toys and hidey spots so all we had to do was drop our bun off in a carrier. She would send daily videos and photos along with detailed updates (like how she would lounge all day and snack on her hay and list the veggies she was fed). Barbara shows a lot of experience as she has a variety of veggies as well as regularly cleaning out the water bowl and tidying the enclosure. She would also spend time petting and changing up the toys and tunnels as well. Receiving texts on our bun was something I looked forward to during our trip as I would see how relaxed and comfortable she was! If you are looking for an experienced rabbit sitter in the area, I wouldn't hesitate to inquire here! Thank you so much for watching our bun! Photos below are from Barbara's daily updates.

I have been bringing my dog (a 15lb shih tzu) to Colleen for grooming every 5 weeks since June…read more2017. After almost 5 years with her, it's hard to know where to start with this review. Colleen is incredibly kind-hearted and attentive. She always puts your pet's safety and comfort first. We spent time at the beginning of each appointment just chatting and letting my dog roam around her space, so he had time to get comfortable and Colleen could get to know us, our needs, updates, etc. At the end, she also gave me an overview of what happened during the grooming session (sometimes he can be a little troublesome, especially with his nails getting trimmed, while other times he is an angel). Colleen is a very honest and direct person, which may be off-putting to people who aren't used to that sort of personality, but I highly appreciate it. She is extremely knowledgeable and willing to share that knowledge to help improve your pet's well-being and relationship with you. Again, she does all this with kindness, respect, and patience. We had a regular recurring schedule with her, but whenever there was a holiday or I had to leave for a trip, Colleen was always flexible and accommodating with adjusting our appointments or open to having my friend drop off my dog to her instead of me. Our appointments were usually about 1.5 hours long (15-30 mins of which were spent talking), so I often went to Big Mug Coffee down the street on El Camino (also highly recommended) to wait out the grooming session with a coffee and pastries. Colleen is incredibly passionate about what she does. She almost always gave my dog an extra cute little bandana or bow tie (which she makes herself!) after every session, and one year she also gave us an adorable personalized Christmas ornament. It really just told me how much she cares. I was so sad when I finally told her that we were moving, and because of Colleen, the next groomer that we have to find will have a very high bar to meet.

Colleen deserves 10 stars for the fabulous job she has done with our 10 year old Pomeranian,…read moreAshley. Here's the story .... Like most Pom's, Ashley started out with a beautiful, thick coat, requiring a good amount of bathing and brushing, to keep her looking her best. Over time, with a house full of small children, and other obligations and distractions, I did not keep up with the grooming enough, and so she started to get her share of matted hair. Then, when she would get a bath and I tried to brush her, it got to be painful for her. My sweet little Pom started to become Cujo, every time she saw a hair brush. Not good. Finally, I decided to take her to Petsmart in Milpitas for "professional" grooming. Their solution was a complete disaster. They shaved her, sparing only a mane around her face, making her look like a little lion. This is completely inappropriate for a Pom .. but that was the least of our problems. Serious skin.follicle damage prevented her coat from properly growing back in. My vet even tested her for health issues, thinking she might have a nutritional disorder. Another local groomer did their best for her, but still her coat was quite thin, and really had lost its original beauty. I pretty much accepted things as they were, but would never encourage others to shave a Pomeranian. Frankly, I feel like the shop that pulled this number should have their license yanked. As I got busy with work, my dear wife started to make the runs to the groomer every six weeks. She had a less than ideal experience with the groomer I had been using, when she drove in rush hour traffic to drop the dog off for an appointment, only to learn that something had come up and so they needed to see the dog another day. My wife had had enough, so she decided to seek a groomer who she felt might our needs better. She came across Colleen and Lovin' All the Babies. Colleen made sure that we checked with our vet to be sure there were no health issues contributing to the damaged coat, and used her experience and gentle products, helped Ashley to regain her beauty. If someone looks at a photo of our dog from a couple years ago, they probably would not believe that it is the same dog seen today. I cannot thank Colleen enough for all she has done for our dog, but I do urge others to support this wonderful groomer.
