    Calliope
    Laura B.

    Last weekend Stephanie Ropp took excellent care of my cat, Calliope. She spoiled her and treated her to all the care and attention I wanted Calliope to receive while I was away. She sent me updates and pictures displaying all the fun they had. Stephanie also adjusted her schedule around my departure and arrival times, which I greatly appreciated. I can't wait to have Stephanie sit for Calliope again because I trust her and she made me feel comfortable and secure about Calliope's care.

    The holidays are always a stressful time for me since I do a lot of traveling. This has been my first time hiring a service for dog walking/sitting. I usually rely on friends or neighbors to pop in and check on Don Juan, however this time of year everyone is always to busy. I found Denise and Zen Pet through a flyer in my local coffee shop. We did a meet and greet near my house since I was a little worried about Don Juan's attitude, but 5 min into it he was wagging his tail and excited about making a new friend. Denise's kind demeanor and loving nature made him so comfortable and I had no worries or anxiety while out of town. She sent me pics every day that I was gone and made sure I knew my lil guy was happy, safe n sound! I have since referred all of my friends & neighbors w pets to her! She is by far the best in the business!! Thank you so much Denise & Zen Pet! Love, Lindsay & Don Juan

    I loooove zen pet! I booked with them pretty last minute and they were quick to see if they had someone who could come do a home visit with my dogs while I was out of town for the day. Denise was in touch with me the entire time she was looking for a sitter, keeping me updated. She then found me Kelly, who came to meet my dogs and she was taking notes of anything I was asking her to do for my dogs and she was making sure she she had everything right. My dogs loved her right away! The day I was out of town I got a notification on the zen pet website and a text message with pictures of my girls. They looked so happy. I'll definitely be using Zen Pet in the future!

    Now that I no longer live in my old place or in the area, I feel more comfortable writing this…read more Jeremy walked my dog for a few months after I moved to San Diego. He did a fine job, and I didn't have any major issues. My only issue in the beginning was that he told me AFTER our meet and greet that the time clock for walks starts when he walks into the building. I showed him the entrance closer to my place (which is right by the entrance), but he wasn't using that one at first. While I had wished that he communicated this during our meet and greet, I wasn't upset by it after we had established a steady routine. A few weeks/months after I settled into my new job, I had been granted the ability to work from home full time with a few occasional sporadic days in the office. I texted him to tell him that I won't need a walker after a certain date and explained that I'll be WFH. I even told him that I'd still like to reach out on days I'd have to be in-office. Later that day, he called to "ask" me what he did wrong. His tone was extremely confrontational and aggressive. I reiterated that I don't need a walker anymore because my situation had changed. He kept demanding an explanation. Honestly, I felt really put off by this. I had to tell him several times that it's because the situation had changed and it took multiple attempts to get him off the phone. He kept trying to push me because he didn't seem to believe me. Honestly, I don't care if he did. Before this conversation, I probably would have asked him to walk my dog on the days that I'd be in the office, but this made me so uncomfortable. Over the period of several months, he occasionally texted and/or called to ask me if we had any dog walking needs. I didn't answer, but eventually texted him to tell him that we did not. I understand his wanting a "reason" to try to improve. However, I gave him a reason. And even if I didn't, I don't necessarily owe him one to the point where he has to demand one repeatedly.

    Deb Bond is an extraordinary person & caring dog sitter. I contacted Deb when our 6 month Havanese…read moreneeded two weeks of doggie daycare. I met with Deb & her dog, River for a meet & greet. Wow, very impressive in every way. Her paperwork is profession & complete. Dixie has been difficult to house train. Deb Implemented her strategies & Dixie came back to us a better trained dog. Walking with Deb & her dogs daily was a highlight for Dixie. It's amazing to see Deb walking her tribe. They were loving life at several local parks near Debs home. Deb sends photos & videos updates frequently which is joyous for us seeing our happy Dixie playing & loving her doggie buddies. Deb's daycare dogs are her family while in her home.

Unlike other dog hotels you can find online, Deb doesn't use kennels. She has a beautiful home with plenty of front and backyard space. Deb is a true dog lover and will treat your pup like one of her own. Deb is super professional and provides you with all the information you need to feel good about leaving your pooch with someone else. We really appreciated all the updates and photos Deb sent us of Lucy while we were away. Her pricing is super reasonable and level of care exceeded our expectations! Lucy had a great time and we will definitely return to Deb's Dawghouse when it comes time for our next vacation! 10/10 would recommend!!
