Let me start by saying that my husband and I are a little crazy about our dogs. We've had them for…read moreabout ten years and they are pretty much just like our children (with all due respect to those who have actual human children :) Over the summer, one of our dogs had emergency surgery (with months of recovery time and still has on-going meds), so we didn't feel comfortable with the kennel route. We had just moved to San Diego, to boot, and we wanted as little stress for the dogs as possible while we were away. On top of all that, we'd never left the keys to our house with a virtual stranger, and wanted to know our home's security would be a priority. Needless to say, we were really serious about finding a caring, trustworthy pet sitter. Lisa was among several pet sitters who came very highly recommended on Yelp, and we decided to interview her and two other companies before choosing the best fit for us. I mean, I was serious (if not over the top). My husband and I both had written-out questions, I had researched national pet-sitting standards, and we were determined to find the best person to care for our dogs (and our home). Of the people we interviewed, and while the other two were nice people, Lisa was by all measures the clear leader in professionalism, knowledge of pet-sitting standards, and down-right sweetness with our two pups. * Professionalism: Lisa is licensed, bonded and insured, and has excellent practices for medication administration, pet care and home/ key security. She took detailed notes at every preliminary meeting and by the time we left for vacation, she seemed to have every one of our detailed requests memorized. * Personal Touch: Lisa did a video chat over iPhone with us one day so we could "visit" with our two dogs (although they seemed to be perfectly happy just visiting with her!). We were gone for two weeks, and Lisa or her staff e-mailed every day with a brief update. She was very accommodating of every request we had, even when I felt like we were being crazy pet parents. * A true pet lover: Our dogs don't snuggle with just anyone. But the minute Lisa walked in the door the first time, they were up on her lap, giving her "kisses." We could not believe our eyes! Every time after that, they've been super excited to see her (and her staff) -- just as excited as when my husband and I come home. I truly could not ask for a more perfect fit! It was so important to us to find someone who would be as loving as we are with the dogs -- and we definitely found it with Playful Paws Pet Care!

I was going away for an 8 day holiday vacation and needed someone to check in periodically on our 2…read morecats. I knew my coworker had a regular dog-sitter, so I asked her. She gave rave reviews of Lisa at Playful Paws Pet Care and I had to give her a call. I'm so glad I did! Her rates are very reasonable ($15/visit), she's incredibly reliable, and she's a fellow animal lover/pet owner. I've used her service several times since (some for last-minute weekend getaways) and she has stepped up to every challenge. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

We just moved to SD and didn't know anyone well enough to watch our cat for the week we were gone…read more We found Jennifer from Pawsitive Pet Sitting on yelp and are so glad we did. Jennifer is incredibly professional and absolutely knows what she is doing, and she's definitely a cat whisperer. Since we had just moved to SD, our cat was still really freaked out about everything in the new apartment and constantly hiding under the bed. Everytime ANYone came over she would hide the entire time. I was so anxious about leaving her for a whole week just after moving here with how poorly she seemed to be doing in the new place. Jennifer came over for our first meeting, and our cat came out almost immediately to meet her, which was just the first amazing thing that happened. In addition to that, everything Jennifer told us about her experience and how she runs her business sounded perfect. Upon hiring Jennifer for the job, I finally felt OK about leaving for our trip. During the week we were gone, she sent us updates with the best pictures after each and every visit, and was super communicative and responsive to a last minute schedule change I had. After we came back from our trip, we were completely amazed to find that our cat was no longer scared of our new apartment. She hasn't hidden once since we got home. Usually when we come back from a trip our cat is upset with us and more skittish, but she seems even happier and more comfortable than when we left. In fact, I think she misses Jennifer!

***UPDATE*** I wish…read moreI could give Jennifer more than five stars!! She has been walking our dog twice a week for over a year and NEVER has she been late or canceled. She lets us know if she notices anything abnormal. Once our dog got very sick while we were at work and Jennifer let us know and suggested we take her to the vet, then she stayed with our dog for thirty minutes to monitor her until we made it home from work. We can tell that she really cares about our dog and that our dog adores her. Honestly, we couldn't have a shepherd in an apartment without the help of Jennifer. She's reliable and kind and we are so thankful we found her. Thanks, Jennifer!!

I was celebrating my birthday in SD from out of town with my partner and pup. Unfortunately, my…read morepartner didn't realize that dogs weren't allowed into the event that we were going to so I needed a last minute doggy daycare urgently!! I was so fortunate to stumble across Precious Pet Car on Yelp! Leila helped me through the whole process of signing up and booking and I was able to schedule a meet-n-greet and book a stay that same morning! Truly such a kind, responsive, and accommodating process. It was my first time ever sending my dog Mochi to a sitter and I was super anxious since he's already 10years old! The meet went even better than expected. The dog area was HUGE and there were so many toys and activity spots for the dogs to play or shaded areas to just rest. Shantae asked about my dog and explained the personalities of the other dogs that would be staying with him and I felt so reassured that Mochi would be just fine. A total bonus that I wasn't expecting was getting picture updates of Mochi having a blast! Seems like the old man got to have a little vacation on his own. Shantae informed me that he whined for a couple minutes after I left, which is normal, and how he got along with the smaller dogs and got to play with the water hose! Such fun surprises to me since he normally ignores little Dogs and water in general! I cannot recommend trusting your fur pets with Leila and her team more!! I was able to celebrate my birthday with ease knowing my dog was in good hands (possibly having more fun than even me!) When I'm down in SD again, I will definitely be utilizing Precious Pet Car services again! Thank you guys so much~

After having a…read morebad experience with a self-employed sitter, spotty availability with another self-employed sitter, and then deciding not to travel altogether, Leila and her amazing team at Precious Pet Care showed me that their high standard of care meant I could be at ease and take vacations again! I was referred to Precious Pet Care by a dog trainer I know. I was interested in their Golden Overnight Care services, a 24-hour service where the sitter is with my babies all day! In particular, my dogs are extremely attached as they are used to coming to work with me and generally being around me 24/7, so this type of sitter service was a must! I was given a link to request a meet & greet and schedule the days a sitter was needed in my home and met with my assigned sitter, Kate, prior to my requested days. Ever the worrier about my dogs, cats, birds, and guinea pigs that I would be apart from, Kate handled my bombarding her with information in good stride. During my vacation, I was pleased to see that she sent numerous photos, videos, and updates daily! Kate made me feel completely at ease while I was away and was such a great communicator. Upon my return, all my critters were happy, and the house was neat and clean! Kate made sure to take the trash out and clean up after herself as well. Truly a 5-star experience! I would highly recommend their Golden Overnight Care services to anyone who wants to enjoy peace of mind on their next getaway! Thank you to Leila, Kate, and the entire Precious Pet Care Team!
