Playtime Pet Sitters sat for our two kitties while we were out of town for Thanksgiving. They did a fantastic job, and even came on Thanksgiving day. They sent updates and pictures of our kitties, which really helps you feel connected and comfortable while you are away. We have used them before, and will definitely use them again. It’s good to have peace of mind knowing your fur babies are in good hands while you are away. I highly recommend this business.
“These ladies are the BEST pet sitters I’ve had in the nearly 14 years of my kitty’s life. From very first pre-visit, they have been professional, prompt, and totally in love with my fur baby, Fuzzy Mama. Whenever I get back from being away, my kitty is so relaxed that you would have never known I was away. They give her the regular food and water along with all her “treats” that she loves to make noise about Litter is always scooped, food and water always replenished, packages brought in, and house exactly how it was left. Not to mention, I get AWESOME pictures texted to me of my fuzz bucket of love every time they visit; which eases my heart and lets me know my princess kitty is doing just fine. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough!”
“Great alternative to kenneling! Deb and Laci were our sitters for 4 days and they texted us pictures from each visit as well as wrote a little note about the visit that day. We were a little nervous at first to have ‘strangers’ in our home taking care of our pets, but I will never hesitate to book PlayTime Pet Sitters again (nor will I think of them as strangers). Our dog and bunny were so well cared for and always looked to be having a blast with their new friends.
“I am the type of dog mommy who takes her little pups with her everywhere. When my husband and I booked travel to ******, we knew this time our Bruce and Bella would not be able to join us. This caused me serious anxiety, as I am as attached to my pups as they are to me. For ten days, they were in the loving hands of Susan’s team, and I received Text message updates with pictures and adorable little stories. It made my heart feel warm and fuzzy to know how well my babies were being treated. They had FUN each day in the comfort of their own home. Laurie had written a little journal for each day we were gone. I literally smiled ear to ear reading it when we returned. I still have it! We will be enlisting the care of PlayTime Pet Sitting again this month and magically, all of my anxiety about traveling is gone! And for that, I thank them (And so do Bruce and Bella).
“We just cant tell you how so completely satisfied we are with the excellent care Lexy received while we were gone, and we honestly can’t thank PlayTime Pet Sitters enough!! Its so comforting to know she was in such good hands while we enjoyed ourselves in California. The little diary they left was a great touch, and the little things they wrote were so much fun to read! We will definitely be contacting them again whenever were in need of a pet sitter.”
“The pet sitters were amazing. They cared for our two dogs as if they were their own. Each day we got pictures of the dogs and sitters and could tell the dogs were having a great time. Our instructions were followed to the letter and at no time did we have any worries about them. Next time we need sitters for our pets, it will be from Playtime Pet Sitters.”

“We have used PlayTime Pet Sitters for our three dogs (Sam,Lu &Rev) for multiple trips. The sitters are amazing and so sweet!!! You will get a detailed text message with lots of cute pictures after each visit which always makes me feel better. The love and attention our dogs get is more than we could ask for and I appreciate being able to leave them in our home while away. Would recommend this company to anyone!! Great prices too and lots of services available.”
“We are home after a long weekend with family. Thank you so much for caring for the animals. We love ALL the notes! I think we will have to start keeping those. 😉 They do love their treat balls and all the butt rubs. Dillon is doing great. We really appreciate all the play time too.”
“Exceptional….Susan not only stops by to check on the kids, she spends time loving and playing with them. She has even been known to play hide and seek with Gizmo and all his many babies! She follows all my crazy requests, and I have plenty of them. Playtime is very reliable and responsible, and always makes time for those last minute visits. I interviewed many pet sitters, and knew Susan was the one the first time I met her. She bonded to the kids immediately, and even though Gizmo would never show his emotions……he absolutely loves her.”
“We are so happy to be back! Our babies were happy and healthy and glad to see us and much better behaved then I’ve seen them in a while! Must be your influences!!!! Anyway, I love the notes you left. Thank you for loving our puppies because this is one of the few times we’ve been confident that our babies are taken care of and loved. Usually, only when our children watch them do I feel that way. So, we are grateful to you. Again, thank you so very, very much for all the love and attention you provide for our Precious and Lover Boy.”
