Mission Valley Pet SItting Services

I can’t say enough great things about Sari. I am about as neurotic as it gets when it comes to my cats and she gave me total peace of mind. She is very professional and makes you feel at ease very quickly. Every day she sent me photos and updates (as I requested) so I knew my furballs were A-​ok. When I came home there was a full log of everything she did, cats were happy and healthy, and my home was exactly as I left it. She even brought them a new toy! I will absolutely use her services again and recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter!

Went on a week vacation had they check up each day. Absolutely a positive experience. Came to the house a few days before. She was open and transparent with everything and had even more credentials then I thought were ever. Text updates every day with pictures. Can not recommend more highly!!! 5 stars!

Sari was such a pleasure to work with! The communication with her before, during, and after hiring her to take care of our dog and cat while we were on our family vacation was timely and concise. Upon returning from our trip, our pets were content and happy. It was obvious they were well taken care of while we were away. Daily texts and pictures were sent to reassure us of their well being while we were gone. We really appreciated these twice a day updates which insured a fun and relaxing vacation. Sari also kept our house in perfect order by bringing in the mail and packages, taking out our trash and recycling, turning lights on and off, and leaving everything in order as if we hadn’t left. Sari brought each of our pets toys, which they both enjoyed. This is just one example of her thoughtful actions that shows just how committed and caring she is. I will recommend her to all of my friends and family!

We have found our cat sitter!!! My husband and I were heading out of the country on a family vacation for 14 days. That’s a long time to be away from your home and especially your 2-​year old kitty. Sari is professional and knowledgeable about cats and she is trustworthy. Her daily communication (photos & texts) with us while we were away was excellent. I woke up each morning knowing that our cat was getting love, attention and playtime in our absence. She is an extremely shy cat with strangers, so I wasn’t expecting that they would bond so well by Day 2! Sari brought her 3 fantastic catnip toys that our cat continues to enjoy. The mail was brought in daily, our home kept very neat and Sari took great care of our fish tank by pouring in fresh water daily! There was an ant problem due to the rain and Sari handled it by spraying the area and relocating our cat’s water and food after washing the bowls. I was slightly worried about the spray but no ants returned! Sari also left us detailed log sheets with daily notes. Best of all our cat was extremely happy, healthy and calm when we came home. I hope Sari is available every time we go away because we trust no one else to pet sit.

I’ve been a consistent customer of Sari’s for a few years now, and if we weren’t moving across the country i would definitely continue to be. Her prices are fair, she is very professional and flexible enough to work around my at times hectic work schedule, and more importantly she really cares about my cat Mia. Ive been on several extended trips away and Sari was always able to recommend something to keep Mia happy, even if it was multiple visits in one day (at no extra charge too!) or suggesting a pheromone diffuser, no matter what when i returned home it was always to a healthy happy cat. We are going to miss to her terribly; i dont know if we can find this level of service anywhere else!

We moved a few months ago and couldn’t keep our former dog sitter because of location, but she referred us to Sari and we are so happy with her. She was able to accommodate us on short notice due to a funeral in the family. Our dog Coco warmed up to her instantly when she came for the consultation. Would definitely keep her info handy should we need her next time.
Thanks Sari for being such a huge help to us and lots of kisses from Coco!

We have used Sari several times to watch our 2 kitties and we couldn’t be more pleased. She is extremely caring, competent and trust worthy and I highly recommend her. Each time we’ve left she has sent us photos of the kitties, and she brings them toys, which they love! She also keeps a detailed journal with information such as when she was at our home, what she did (fed, play, clean litter) and how the kitties were behaving. Upon our return the kitties are always happy and have obviously been well cared for. If you are looking for someone you can trust to watch your pets, I HIGHLY recommend Mission Valley Pet Sitting :)

Sari has been great! My little guy is one of the biggest dog babies out there. He hid under the bed the first 3 visits Sari made to the house when I wasn’t there. She was awesome because she took the time out of her schedule to walk with both of us in the morning so he could become more comfortable – plus, she bought him a toy to win him over. My family doesn’t even do that!. It took at least 4 extra visits with the both of us, but we eventually had success. Now, when I know I am going to be running late at work, I don’t stress about having to rush home to walk the dog. She is reasonably priced and, so far, things have been great!

I am forever loyal and grateful for Mission Valley Pet Sitting Services.
Sari cared for my kitties as if there were her own. I could not be more pleased!
I was on a 5-​day business trip and received daily updates and pictures.
The piece of mind that my animals were receiving great care allowed me to focus on work.
Psychologically my cats were more content upon my return. Typically i have friends stop by and feed them but they always seem frazzled and unsure when i get home.
Other pet sitting services don’t provide the personal touch and care that Mission Valley Pet Sitting Services provide.
Above and beyond my expectations!

Anti-​PitBull Pet Sitting Company!!! They discriminated against my Friendly PitBull and I before even meeting with us! She was so hesitate about Pitbulls over the phone! She straight up told me, her and her partner wouldn’t be able to walk/​pet sit my dog! Also she told me they Don’t conduct services on the Weekends! Hello??? People go out of town on the weekends and need their pets walked or watched. If your a Monday-​Friday business then state that on your website before wasting my time!!! I’m just still just so shocked about the whole PitBull situation! Poor Poor Business Ethics!!!

Do you need a pet sitter, but you’re kind of worried because your cat (or dog) isn’t the friendliest when it comes to strangers?! Choose MVPSS, they can make friends with any pet!
I’m a first-​time customer for professional pet sitting, and seeing as I’m somewhat new to SD I didn’t have anyone to watch my cat when I went out of town for Christmas.
I found MVPSS on Unilocal and decided to contact Sari because every Unilocal review was 5 stars… I thought to myself, «There’s nooo way everyone has given this company five stars – let me check the non-​recommended reviews, as there’s bound to be at least a four-​star review (or lower) somewhere!» Well, there wasn’t :) so I instantly called Sari and booked a sitter for 7 days during Christmas.
I was beyond impressed with Sari! She was very friendly, informative, and professional. She quoted a reasonable daily price which included a (free!!) consult. During the consult she described her background/​credentials, the background/​credentials of the sitter (Amy, who was with her on the consult), and a meet-​and-​greet with my cat and her future sitter. She also asked me questions about my kitty I would have never thought of to tell a sitter, but after she asked I thought, «I’m glad she asked that! That’s really important to know.»
Anyway, my not-​so-​friendly-​with-​strangers cat loved Amy during the consult. I was a bit nervous when she walked up to Amy because my cat has a tendency to let you pet her for a bit then randomly get fussy and swat your hand away from her. Amy was great at reading my cats body language so she didn’t touch her for the first 5 mins of the visit. My cat walked away then came back later and sat by Amy’s feet and started nudging her… #UnheardOf!
That was a good indication of how my cat felt comfortable with Amy and she seemed really happy and well taken care of when I returned. Actually, when I returned my cat wasn’t even waiting at the doot for me! Lol. Usually when I leave, and have friends check on her while I’m gone, she’s waiting for me when I return. This time, she was MIA – I had to go find her and say hello. This solidified the fact that she got plenty of lovin’ when I was away.
Also, the best part of MVPSS are the daily pictures and updates you receive… It really gives you a sense of peace when you’re away and I consistently got them at the same time everyday.
Choose MVPSS! They’re the best! Many thank you’s to Amy (and Sari) for a stress free trip!

We are grateful to have Sari as our cat sitter for our girls, Eve and Chloe. She really does provide peace of mind while you are away! She is wonderful with providing us updates and photos. She is very generous and brings our cats new toys ~ the toys she brings are always their favorites! She will also water your plants, check your mail, etc. This last trip our girls weren’t liking their Natural Balance packets formulations and she bought some new ones while we were gone. I really would highly recommend her.

Just got back from holiday travel and we hired Amy and Sari to take care of our 2 cats. They did a amazing job and sent us daily pics of our furr babies. It was nice to receive updates on a daily basis. Our cats loved them and were in good care.
I can tell that they both LOVE animals and care for them like their own.

I left for Italy for three weeks and Sari took care of my two cats. She is the best cat sitter ever. Unfortunately, right before my leaving one of my cats got really sick and I felt so bad to leave. But Sari was so great and reliable that I left feeling that I was in really good hands. She sent me emails after every visits, she took my cat to the vet twice, she sent me also pictures of both my kitties and updated me every single day. When I came back I found also additional toys that she bought for the cats in order to make them feel more comfortable. She also took care of my mailbox and watering my plants. When we got back the house was neat and perfect as we left it, but most importantly my cats were doing so fine. Thanks to her my sick cat recovered very well and when I came back he was doing very fine. I would like to add one more thing to this review. Yesterday, I thought I lost my cat. I was desperate and did whatever I could do for finding him. Then I called Sari for additional tips and she immediately told me that she wanted to come over to help me out looking for the cat. I do not need to add anything more, because just by saying this you can understand how great and passionate she is about her job and our beloved pets. I will never thank her enough for the wonderful service she offers. She went above and beyond. I really highly recommend this service. Thank you Sari!

Sari is AWESOME!!! She went above and beyond. She truly loves what she does and it shows. My animals instantly bonded with her. She’s the real «animal whisperer»!!!

AMAZING!!! Normally, when I go out of town, I have our neighbors check in on our cat, but when he developed an eye infection (that required eye drops three times a day) I decided to try a professional service to ensure he got the care that he needed. Based on other Unilocal reviews, I reached out to Mission Valley Pet Sitting services and fellow Unilocalers, you did not let me down!
The whole process from start to finish was both professional and extremely caring. Sari came to my home to meet my cat and go over her certifications, insurance… and gave me some great overall cat care tips! She’s like a cat whisperer. Our cat is not normally outgoing when meeting strangers, but he came right up to her and had no problem loving her immediately. We went through how to feed him, how to give him the drops (which she did better than I did) and spent some time getting a lay of the land.
When we left, she kept a journal of every time she came to the house and sent me text messages during each visit to let me know how our kitty was doing and if she had any questions. She even brought him toys as gifts, which subsequently he loves more than any of the toys that I got for him.
We came home to a healthy and happy cat and I couldn’t have been more pleased to have found Sari and Mission Valley Pet Sitting Services. They are affordable, trustworthy in your home and give the ultimate peace of mind when you’re away.
Thank you again to this wonderful service!

If you are looking for a dog walking company that is going to treat you and your dog with the 5-​star service, look no further. Sari and Amy are the most pleasant, professional, trustworthy, and knowledgeable out there. Sari and Amy came to our apartment to meet with my dog. After over 45 minutes with us, they were able to ask all the right questions and assess our needs.
My schedule tends to vary on a weekly basis and Amy was always flexible to walk our dog at different times and days. One time, I had an emergency and they were so easily accessible and offered great advice and help. It is nice to know that I am leaving my dog with people I trust.
Their prices are very reasonable. We are moving to LA and I am going to have such high standards for when I look for my next dog walker… we are so bummed Sari and Amy can’t move with us hah. Thank you both for all you do!

I am so grateful for Mission Valley Pet Sitting Services! Without hesitation, I would recommend Sari as your pet’s sitter. Sari is professional, trustworthy and genuine. I phoned on a Thursday evening and Sari immediately set-​up a «meet & greet» for Friday morning. Although she was not my regular pet sitter, she agreed to accept the 6-​day sitting job without hesitation. Upon my return, I found my boy Leroy to be happy and energetic. She even bought him some additional play toys to keep him occupied. Her detailed notes documented his activities for each visit. If you are looking for a pet sitter you can rely on, look no further!
I can certainly see why Sari was named PSI’s Pet Sitter of the Year for 2013!

These ladies helped us so much, I have no idea how we and our cat would survive our long lasting vacation without their help. Sari and Amy came to our house to talk about things we should know about them, asked about our kitty, her habits, character traits, etc. They are certified (!), reliable and next time we go on vacation, we know who we’re going to ask for doing us this favor again!
Our cat is too shy, but I thought that during our long three-​week vacation she might come out finally to greet Amy, the nice lady who took care of the cat. But this cat is not one of those friendly kitties who know that the territory is theirs and they can come out with strangers around and it’s the guests who should run and hide. She’s not like that at all. So I’m very very grateful to Amy that she didn’t try to force this communication, didn’t look for her and pull her from under the bed to say hello. Amy was very cautious and careful.
The main thing we wanted to know was that the cat is well-​fed and her litter box is clean. That’s it. Amy left a little diary for us which we found on the living room table upon our return. She also kept us updated via e-​mail during our trip, took care of our delivered newspapers and took our trash to the curb and watered our plants! I was really pleasantly surprised to find out home actually clean, no dust on any furniture surface, which I expected to see, since we were out of town for too long. Amy is amazing! In fact, we called our favorite pet hotel almost a month prior our Christmas vacation but there were no vacancies even at that point anymore. Then I started looking for a pet sitter, since kennel types of hotels are not acceptable. This is how we found Mission Valley Pet Sitting Services and scheduled our interview with Sari and Amy.
Thank you so much, ladies! Next time we’re not even going to book our favorite pet hotel, but call you directly. Needless to say, I highly recommend this service.

Normally, I have a very good friend who stays in my apartment when I go away. She was my default pet-​sitter for the past 5 years. However, this last month I needed to go out of town for a week and my friend was also out of town. I got hooked up to Mission Valley Pet Sitting through a co-​worker and fellow cat lover. Sari is as good as it gets. Short of having her move into my apartment, she was every bit as good as my friend would have been (maybe better,)
While I was away, I received a daily text message (usually with a photo attached) which put me at ease that my precious kitty was happy and well. Sari brought her a toy the first time she met her and with patience coaxed my playful girl out of her shell as my cat is a rescue and usually very wary of strangers. She cleaned the litterbox every day (which is more than my friend did) and stayed to play and spent quality time with the cat. She was willing to retrieve mail if I needed and as I understand from the person who recomended her to me, she’ll give pet meds too.
All for a very resonable price!
Upon my return there was a written daily report of what Sari did and how the cat acted. Reading it gave me a feeling of how my cat did every day of my absence.
If you need to leave your beloved pet and you don’t know who you can count on, take my word for it… count on Sari at Mission Valley Pet Sitting. I will use Sari again when I need to go away, even if my friend is available,
