What our pals are saying.

  • "I was so happy with our experience having Pet Pal Cal care for our two French bulldog puppies. At 4 months of age they are energetic with a large appetite to learn, love, and play. They kept them going the entire time while making sure there was plenty of downtime. Both dogs and our home were well cared for while we were away. They are attentive, communicative, courteous, and thoughtful. They even went out of their way to return days later to give the pups a walk and some companionship because we were out of the house for a couple extended long day trips. They have set the bar high. I expect their travels through the world will continue spreading love and joy to other households, families and pets. They exemplify our values to make this such a positive experience."

  • "Wow - Mariah, Chris, and their adorable son, Calvin (who is a most awesome young man:) were so wonderful! This was our first experience using house/pet sitters and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect arrangement. As soon as we met them, we felt confident that Sukha and Luci - and our home would be well cared for. They were communicative, engaged, and responsive - and texted updates and photos often. They were very respectful, and the house was cleaner than when we left it. Sukha hasn't had a lot of experience with children, but he instantly fell in love with Calvin , and they became real buddies - he was a terrific playmate and kept Sukha well exercised. I honestly cannot say enough good things about Mariah, Chris, and Calvin. They are a special family. They were not only responsible and attentive, but also, well travelled, interesting, and fun! We now consider them friends and true "members of the pack :)" and look forward to their staying with us again soon!"

  • "Mariah, Chris and Calvin were amazing sitters! They always kept me up to date with pictures and how the pups were doing! Left the house cleaner than when they got here! I’d let them watch my pups anytime!"

    — Kaitlyn, Leo and Randy - San Jose, CA

  • "Mariah, Chris, and their son were a pleasure to have as guests in our home. They were very communicative prior to the sit and kept me up to date on their arrival and plans. They were pretty self-sufficient with their own things while traveling which made prepping for their arrival easy. They followed all of the instructions and seemed to really enjoy spending time with the pets while staying which is always a comfort while out of town! I would definitely welcome them back again for a future sit."

  • Pet Pal Cal is an awesome and reliable sitter. I needed a drop in visit because I was in a pinch with work. They were very responsive, communicated well about details and best of all are great with dogs. I recommend their services. Thank you!!

    - Angie and Maple - Napa, CA

  • "Pet Pal Cal was such a breath of fresh air for us. We have struggled to find a reliable and trust worthy dog sitter that our pup feels comfortable with and I felt so secure with them. The level of attention and care they showed towards our pup made us feel so comfortable. They are flexible, timely and sent a ton of photos and updates which always makes me feel at ease. Thank you again!"

    - Fran and Archie - Yountville, CA

  • "We have hired Pet Pal Cal several times for pet care when we have had long work days and have been out of town. Our pets love seeing them when they arrive. We trust them implicitly! They have such a calm and soothing demeanor that puts our dogs at ease when we are away as one of them can be quite anxious. They are responsible, cleanly, always follow our house/pet rules, very respectful and loyal. We can rest easy when we are away knowing they are in great caring hands. Hire them!

  • "We have really enjoyed getting to know Mariah and her family. Initially I was not sure how our dogs would do since they’ve never been around children’s energy but I am happy that they have grown from the experience. Mariah and Chris have a calm style of parenting and Calvin is a cool kid. Mariah was great about staying in touch before and during the “sit” and sent some fun pics while we were traveling. We even joyed sharing some vegan recipes and local Farmers Market experiences. When we returned from our travels the house was in good order and we could see that all the dogs were really fond of Mariah, a definite sign of a good sit. Funny, they were even a bit confused as to who love on which offered good insight. Our first morning back Mariah nurtured us with some of her tasty food ....delicious!! The Chai, apple crumble, smoothie and then later the amazing soup.YUM! From my perspective Pet Pal Cal is more than having a Sitter for the dogs or providing a place for someone to stay. It’s about reciprocity and building relationships. So it will be great to see Mariah, Chris and Calvin return in a few weeks when we go on another trip, Yea!"

    - Jamie and Rylee - Napa, CA

  • "Pet Pal Cal was wonderful! They dropped in (twice a day for a week) on our very shy and anxious rescue dog. This was our first time ever using them or any service and they put us to ease with their excellent communication and updates on how our little one was doing. They also did helpful things like bring in packages from porch and such. We will absolutely reach out to them again should the need arise."

    -Madeleine, Baker and Penny - Napa, CA

  • "Pet Pal Cal was absolutely wonderful! My wife and I adopted our first puppy during covid and she's now 3 and has only stayed with family in the past and our new husky is a recent rescue. So when we had no family or friends in town to watch the animals while we were gone we were worried. They went out of their way to do a meet and greet before we booked them to see how our shy husky would do and she is a true animal whisper. Her family is polite, kind and were amazing with the two dogs and the two cats! We highly recommend them!"

    -John, Aspen, Coco, Salem and Athena - Napa, CA

  • "Pet Pal Cal was amazing! Super great communication, our dog absolutely loved her (and he can be a little fearful and crazy). They were super great with him and went above and beyond, even picking up all of his toys (which he spilled everywhere). I will absolutely be calling them again to help with our fur baby!"

    -Tobi and Ziggy - Napa, CA

  • "Pet Pal Cal was GREAT!! They kept us updated with every visit. Our dog is very, very shy - she's a rescue where we think she was abused as a puppy. We weren't gone long enough for them to spend a lot of time with her, but our typically aloof cat came downstairs and wanted love. As for the dog....next time!"

    -Kelly, Maverick and Millie - Napa, CA

  • "Pet Pal Cal is wonderful with my 2-year-old German shepherd, Falko. He listens to them on his walks, and they give me great recaps on his behavior and how the walk went. Falko gets really excited when they come to walk him. We will definitely continue to ask Pet Pal Cal to come and walk Falko - it is a great help, and we have peace of mind that he is in good hands."

    —Aimee and Falko - Napa, CA

  • "Mariah and her young son did a fabulous job taking care of our cats, chickens and 4 month old puppy. We were very worried about leaving our 4 month old puppy with an overnight house sitter but everyone had a great time. Mariah left the house clean and orderly. Our one cat who likes no one cuddled up with Mariah and our puppy was played with until he was happily exhausted. We will definitely use Pet Pal Cal again."

    -Linda, Erissa, Breeda and Louie - Monterey, CA

  • "We loved having Mariah, Chris and their adorable son, Calvin to stay. The pups were so well looked after, and clearly loved being with them. Often the dogs can be hyper when we get home and both were so mellow and relaxed - a sure sign they felt happy with us away. The house was spotless upon our return and they communicated well throughout the visit. We would not think twice about booking them again."

    -Elaine, Luna and Ned - Sonoma, CA

  • "Mariah (and Chris and Calvin) were such great guests at every step. They were flexible and communicative prior to our departure, responsive while we were away, left a tidy home to return to, and most importantly, took such great care of our dogs. We are happy to recommend them and hope they will be able to sit for us again when we need it."

    - John, Gus, Julius and Fig - Novato, CA

  • "Mariah and Chris were absolutely amazing. Our dog Willow is usually shy and timid with strangers but Mariah often sent me pictures of willow and is was obvious she was well cared for and was getting a lot of attention. Additionally, when we returned from our trip the house was spotless. I couldn't have asked for better sitters. I would highly recommend Mariah and Chris and plan to use them for our future travels."

    -Ellen and Willow - Hillsborough, CA

  • "Really wonderful experience with Mariah and family. The menagerie was well taken care of as was our home"
