Services
If you're like us, your pets are members of the family. When you can't be at home to look after them due to work, vacation, business trips or other obligations, you want someone you can trust to provide the care and attention they need and deserve. Our company is based on the belief that the client's needs are of the utmost importance.
Crowned Pet Sitter of the Year for 2013, Sari Reis is the Owner and operator of Mission Valley Pet Sitting Services. For the better part of her life she has lived with pets including dogs, cats, birds, fish, rabbits, guinea pigs, and white mice. She currently is the mother of two Siamese cats, Loki and Zeus.
All of our pet sitters are background checked, insured, certified in pet first aid and bonded. We all go the extra mile by leaving a detailed journal of your pet's experiences during your absence, and providing daily emails, texts, photos or phone calls, should you request them, so you can continue to feel at ease while you are away.
We specialize in customizing our services to suit the individual needs of our clients and their pets. Every service involves a free consultation at your home. If you need Monday - Friday walks on an ongoing basis we have package rates available when you book and pay in advance. For people out of town for a few days or a few weeks, we offer pet visits including feeding, changing water, litter box cleaning, dog walks, cleaning poop in yard, taking in mail and newspapers, watering plants, taking out garbage and playtime.
This experience went above and beyond our expectations. I have already recommended your services to others in the event that they may need pet sitting. Thank you so very much Sari. You made our first pet sitter experience the best we could have ever imagined. Our schedule was so hectic on this trip and you gave us such peace of mind with your updates and pictures of our 3 fur babies.

Mission Valley Pet Sitting is EXCELLENT. I learned this when they were booked and I had to find a different service. They go out of their way to earn your trust where others expect it's easy for you to turn over your keys to a stranger. They took the time to verify all of their credentials and insurance beforehand. Sari and her staff are clearly animal lovers.
My kitty is very skittish and they also made sure to find out exactly what works with her. Katherine seems to be able to pull her out of her shell where with other sitters she just hid the whole time. Katherine and Sari give detailed reports of each visit and send lots of pictures, all of which make me feel super comfortable with the care my kitty is getting while I'm gone (not to mention having strangers in my home!). I highly recommend their caring, conscientious services to anyone, especially if you're skeptical about hiring pet sitters.

The owner, Sari, is absolutely wonderful and I wish she had been the one to be our designated dog walker. Jenna was assigned to our dog and we never had reason to believe that she wasn't doing a wonderful job until I saw her interact with our dog via a doggy camera. We've had the camera for over 2 months and never used it to check in on Jenna because we trusted her.
Recently though, I was on break at work and wanted to check in on our dog since he was on a new medication and I wanted to see how he was doing. Jenna happened to walk through the doors a few minutes in and I was heartbroken to see what unfolded. Jenna entered the house and walked right past our dog. Never petting him once. She was there for a 30 minute visit to walk and feed our dog.
She was outside with him for only 5 minutes and as soon as they got back inside, she walked right past our dog again to plop herself down on our couch where she stayed for the next 15+ minutes, glued to her phone and making herself way too comfortable. Not once looking over to our dog or to pet him or play with him. A few minutes before the 30 minutes were up, she put down his food, wrote her update, and left (again without petting our dog).
Her note stated that our dog didn't eat while she was there and that "he did great!" Well it'd be pretty hard for any pet to eat their dinner while you're there if you don't give it to them until right before you leave! And was he so great because he just laid there and didn't demand attention? Allowing you to just lay there, doing whatever you want?
I was so shocked to see this interaction. Jenna has been our dog walker for well over a year and I hope that this isn't how the majority of the visits went. Her completely ignoring our dog. Not ONCE did I see her pet him during the entire 30 minutes. I'd like to believe that this was a one time occurrence, but based on her body language and demeanor, this appeared to be her routine when coming to our house.
I only gave the 3 stars because of Sari, the owner of the company. If Jenna is assigned to your pet, beware. Your pet might not receive the care they deserve! Jenna was always very flexible with scheduling which was a plus, but now I can't help but wonder if she was so lax because she took advantage of the time with our dog and viewed him as an "easy" visit. She certainly didn't put any energy into the visit I witnessed.

We have seen Sari the Owner of MVPSS many times over the last few years walking other local residents Dogs in the neighborhood and was laways very impressed with her thorough and very detailed and careful approach to handling her clients dogs. We finally found an opportunity to hire her for 3 days to take care of our 10 year old Sheltie Max. We had never been seperated from him for almost 3 1/2 years so we were fairly hesistant to say the least is trusting anyone to care for him. Sari came over a few days before we left and spent a considerable amount of time taking very detailed notes on Max's behavioral traits and personality.
She emailed us every day after every visit with him to let us know how he was doing, so we would not worry about him and when we returned she had left very detailed notes about all of her visits as well. We have no reservations at all in saying she runs the most professional Pet Sitting Service and deserves all the awards & recognition her business has received. She is a total professional and absolutely loves and has a passion for the animals she is entrusted to care for. Resonable Rates with a 5 Star Experience!
