We were initially anxious about using Vet Tech Pet Care for the first time because we had never left our 2 cats alone overnight in the 12 years we have owned them. But my husband and I both needed to travel at the last minute and Vet Tech Pet Care came very highly recommended by a friend's friend who has been using them for years. We weren't quite sure how it would work at first and who would be assigned to stop in 2x/day. But Tomiko was great about matching cat lovers on her staff with the days we needed coverage. Alexa was our cats' "main" sitter but Kaitlin also stopped by a couple of times when Alexa wasn't available. We had the opportunity meet both Alexa and Kaitlin in person before we departed, and Tomiko also came by to make sure everything would run smoothly in our absence. I am pretty organized and had typed up instructions already for Alexa and Kaitlin, but Tomiko had a very detailed checklist that she also went through with me to make sure nothing was overlooked. I really appreciated that. We got texts with pictures and updates on our cats at every visit, which we also really appreciated. Our cats are very shy and skittish with strangers, so we got to hear how they were warming up to Alexa and Kaitlin at each visit. That was such a comfort to us! We would use Vet Tech Pet Care again in the future without hesitation and highly recommend them to others! While they are a service with many different petsitters working for them, it felt very personal and customized to our senior cats' specific needs. read more

Highly recommend using them for your pet sitting needs. Our sitter sent photos, followed instructions, and clearly cared about our elderly kitty who needs daily medications. read more

I've used Vet Tech Pet Care three times since I moved to the East Bay area last year and have been so happy with their services! In particular Donna R. (with a couple visits from Kaitlin B.) has been amazing! My two cats are pretty easy-going, but I'm pretty high maintenance in terms of my worrying about them, and Donna has sent texts with pictures every single visit which hasreassured me that my sweet girls are OK. Highly recommend Vet Tech Pet CARE, and look forward to using them in the future! read more

I first had Vet Tech Pet Care for some in home care for our cat following hospitalization and they were terrific. We then used them for pet care for our cat while we went on vacation and again, what a terrific experience. Kind, caring and professional! Tomiko, Alexa and Donna are just THE BEST! read more

Vet Tech is the best. I have an older cat and a Senegal parrot. The ladies were wonderful. Every day we received an update and photos of both babies. We called these updates "proof of life" and shared them with everyone. It was clear our demanding monsters were having a great time visiting with them. Time was given to snuggle and worship Addie the cat. It is so nice to be away and not have to worry what's happening at home. Am booking Vet Tech for a couple more trips. read more

Wonderful care for my 14 yo cat while I'm on the East Coast visiting family. Reports and lots of pictures twice a day. Referred by fiancée. Tomiko & Donna both fab. Lots of great questions. They're licensed, bonded and percent reliable! read more

The team at Vet Tech Pet Care took good care of our boy Icarus (cat). He started going on medication, which requires morning and nighttime visits while we are on vacation. Our boy can be a little shy at first and they earned his trust. I would definitely use Vet Tech Pet Care again. Give them a shout! read more

I have a pack of 4 young and energetic dogs. Three of them are Belgian Malinois. At first we had a meet and greet to go through all details about the dogs. During their visits, I got updates every single time with super cute pictures. They cared for my dogs absolutely wonderful with love and affection! Such an ease of mind knowing your animals are well cared for while you are out of town is priceless. Definitely recommend them!!! read more

Tomiko was fantastic. I needed to get my anxious aggressive cat into his carrier for his vet visit, and I was so nervous. Tomiko got him in the carrier quickly and safely, no problem. She got me out of a pickle big time! read more

Vet Tech Pet Care staff was fantastic. They took wonderful care of my cat which is no easy feet. He's a bit difficult. He needs injections and since they are vet technicians, they can do it with absolutely no problem. My house was immaculate. They took such good care of him and my home and when I got home, he was a happy calm cat. I am beyond thrilled with their service. They're lovely generous people. I love the idea that they use a lock box. It's great for everyone. There is never a concern that they can't get into the house and I am so happy I found them. I do want to thank my Veterinarian who recommended them. I highly recommend Vet Tech Pet Care for taking care of your pet. read more

We hired Vet Tech to look after our two cats while we were overseas for several weeks. Tomika, Kaitlin and Donna met us at our home before our departure so that we could show them our cats' routine. I appreciated their gentle interactions with our cats, their pertinent updates while we were traveling and their professional approach to the job. read more

I'm so happy that I found Vet Tech! I have a senior cat with special needs, and Vet Tech took care of everything. They also provided me with daily updates which put my mind at ease. Vet Tech has a working relationship with my cat's veterinarian which in my mind, elevates their good standing. In addition, the business aspect is handled in a professional manner. I am about to leave on a 3 week trip overseas, and I have complete confidence that Vet Tech will take good care of my cat. Kudos to Tomiko and her staff! read more

Tomiko has been taking care of my two cats when I travel (multiple times a year) for the last 7 years and she and her team are the BEST. I never worry about them because I know they are well cared for. Even my shy cat comes out when she visits (this is rare)! I receive pictures during each visit, communication is quick qnd clear, my home is respected, and I'm always reminded of how lucky I am to have found Vet Tech Pet Care. read more

Still caring for our same two cats years later and now bearded dragon. Tomiko and Donna are the absolute best!!! They watched our senior cats for 10 days recently and provided daily updates and were even available to assist with some additional non pet related items I needed checking on while away. They took out the trash and brought in the mail. A+ service. We are so lucky to have found them for our cats and bearded dragon as well!!!! read more

Vet Tech took care of our three kitties for the first time and the experience was great! Our previous sitter of 10+ years had left and I was nervous about my cats' reaction to someone new but when we returned home all three cats were in good moods! This hasn't been the case with other new sitters we tried. Donna sent me an update and pic each day, and administered sub-q fluids to my one cat who needs it. I'll be contacting them again! read more

I could not be happier with this pet service. I was nervous to leave for 8 days because my young cats are used to me being home all day. But Tomiko, Kaitlin and Donna took great care with my cats. I got a detailed update on Every visit which was such a relief. They updated me about what the amounts they were eating and using the litter box, which was important as they are the scared types and were hiding. Everyone on the team is responsive and kind. I just moved to Walnut Creek and am so happy to have found this reliable pet care! read more

Great experience with Tomiko and Kristi of Vet Tech Pet care. This is our first vacation as cat parents and never had experience with their services before. Tomiko walked us through the process and Kristi made sure we get daily updates while we were out. Our vacation happened to be during the hottest heat wave of the summer and Kristi went out of her way to water our outdoor plants and make sure our cat is comfortable and well looked after. Nothing but positive things to say about the wonderful people at Vet Tech Per Care. Will do business with them again. read more

Highly recommend Tomiko, Kaitlin, and team. They are professional, thorough, thoughtful and kind. They came through like heroes in a pinch and gave us great piece of mind that our animals and home was being well-taken care of. read more

These guys are great. They are professional and thorough, and provide just what my cats need-2 very different personalities, and both really took to Kaitlin. I was originally going to use them a few years back, but ended up not needed the service, and was delighted to find they are still going strong. HIGHLY recommend! read more

Leaving pets with a stranger is always stressful but after meeting with Tomiko we felt confident we had made the right choice. We were gone for a week and got twice daily updates and pics of our cats and dog. They also checked our mail. Professional. Reliable. Trustworthy. We will definitely call them again for our next trip. read more

Donna is absolutely the best! She came 2x a day to administer medication. Her technique is gentle and caring. She also spent some time giving her "loves" afterwards. I most definitely would have Donna as my cat's caregiver! read more

Great pet-sitting company. They are very professional and thorough, providing picture updates and taking care of other house tasks. Since they have multiple pet sitters, their availability is great when compared to other services in the East Bay area. They took great care of our cat Harry! Would recommend if you live in the Walnut Creek/ East Bay region. read more

Tomiko first took care of my kitties when I was out of town a few years ago after one of them developed CKD and required daily subQ fluids and oral meds. Since then she's taken care of all my kitties anytime I'm away and I couldn't ask for a better caregiver! The peace of mind I have knowing she's taking care of them is invaluable. With her training as a vet tech I know she's attuned to the slight and subtle changes that can belie more serious changes in an animal's health. She is highly responsive, unfailingly reliable and exceptionally diligent. She sends daily photos and updates and has really gotten to know my kitties and their nutty idiosyncrasies. I could not ask for a better caregiver! read more

Super professional and helpful. We received daily updates and photos of our fur babies. Tamiko and Donna are wonderful to work with. They were very thorough and gave our stubborn cat her daily meds. Highly recommended. read more

I love Tomiko and her service. My friend reccomended me to her, when my usual sitter was booked. Tomiko was great meeting my "boys" and me. I got daily updates and was super happy with everything. It is nice to know that there is someone who cares for my boys just as much as I do. read more

Very efficient, very reliable. Most importantly I appreciated the prompt response when it was desperately needed to assist with giving my dog injections. Thank you Tomiko. read more

I've used Vet Tech Pet Care twice for my cat, and they've exceeded my expectations each time. The cat sitters were both fantastic, providing regular updates and photos during each visit. I felt confident that my cat was well taken care of and she is always happy with me when I come home (you know cats, they let you know if they're mad you left them!). As a bonus, they've also helped with watering a couple house plants and bringing in our mail/packages. Vet Tech Pet Care is my go-to choice for cat sitting and I am so happy to have found them. Highly recommend! read more

She wouldn't like me telling you all this but our cat, Starla, is a bit of a diva and has a lot of special needs like daily medication and varying degrees of catitude. But when we have to be away, we rely on Vet Tech Pet Care and they take care of ALL of her needs. Their technicians are always flexible, professional and reliable and we trust them completely. read more

Tomiko responded to my very urgent need for a pet sitter who could administer medication to one of my cats. I was so pleased with her professionalism after she showed up before our trip to meet the animals and go over the list of things to do. They even offer to get the mail & bring in trash cans. They also take pictures of your animals and text you to help you feel at ease. It's an amazing service that I will continue to use. I scheduled 5 days but unfortunately my family and I all got horribly sick the day we reached our destination and had to return home. Tomiko was so understanding and made returning home easy on us by checking on the animals 1 more time and not charging us once we got home. She left out a few beautiful unicorn cookies for my kids. It was the kindest touch. I would recommend this business to anyone who has animals, especially people with animals with special needs. read more

We were so fortunate to find Vet Tech Pet Care! Tomiko and Donna are professional, reliable, and kind. Donna visited three times to properly administer subcutaneous fluids and one medicine to our senior cat while we were away, allowing us to take a vacation with peace of mind. Our cat was comfortable with both of them at the first meeting. We had such a positive experience and are very grateful. read more

Highly recommend Vet Tech Pet Care. We have 2 older dogs, 1 is diabetic needing insulin shots twice daily, both take daily meds for joint pain etc. Tomiko and team handled the medications flawlessly as well as feeding and giving them attention. The daily text updates and pictures were an added bonus. Will be using them again. read more

Tomiko and Donna did a wonderful job taking care of my pets. They were always on time and texted me every visit with an updates on how my cats were doing, including sending pictures. Two of my cats need medication, one with an injection and the other with a pill. They did a great job giving my pets medication without issue. They also cleaned the litter boxes and checked my mail. Donna and Tomiko are so kind and detail oriented and I definitely recommend them to everyone. read more

I'm a professional dog trainer and am very particular about who watches my dogs when I'm out of town or need some help during a busy work week. Tomiko and Tyler have been great to work with. So far I've just had them over for day visits but am about to use them for our first overnight. I'll add an update when I return, but I can definitely say I'm feeling at ease leaving my dogs in their care. read more

Highly recommend. We just lost her sister the week before my trip and my Lulu was so sad and scared of everybody. The pet sitters were so kind and patient with her. Giving her treats, petting her under the bed and treating her like a princess. She loves them! Great pictures, daily text and so good with my cocker spaniel. They are an absolute must if you need a pet sitter. 5 stars!!!! read more

We had a great experience with Tomiko and Donna from Vet Tech Pet Care. They asked questions and communicated well about everything, followed our instructions, and took great care of our two cats and our home. We really appreciate daily updates with photos, that really gave us peace of mind while we're away, and they responded quickly to our messages as well. We highly recommend them and we'll certainly have them pet sitting for us again. read more

Vet Tech Pet Care is as good as it gets for animal home care. I have an elderly Australian Shepard with back issues. Pattie and Tomiko are the upmost professional. More important, the kindness to my dog came pouring out. While I was out of town, Pattie sent photos and told me lovely tidbits of how my boy was doing. It is clear that this is more than just a job. They do this because it is something that brings joy to their lives. Tomiko was recommended to me by a friend. I was so pleased with the company, I have already booked Vet Tech Pet Care for my next trip out of town. I recommend this company to all. read more
