Client Testimonials...
"Hazel is an amazing, caring pet sitter! At our house she had a large group of different animal species and plants to look after and specific detailed instructions to follow. She was conscientious and meticulous about all of our requests. She has a wonderful friendship with all the animals and they took to her immediately, even our grouchy cat. I was happy to receive her nightly text updates (with photos) to help me rest assured everyone was doing fine. I highly recommend Hazel to care for pets with love and expertise. I was so happy to find her!"
-Lauren D., Grass Valley
"Highly recommended. Hazel took care of my 3 dogs and my home for a week and I couldn't be more pleased. She went beyond what I requested and even my somewhat neurotic dog, Bart, looked happy and relaxed in her care. Thank you Hazel."
-Gayle G., Penn Valley
"We recently had Hazel pet/house sit while we were in Europe. She was extremely responsible and communicated very well. One of our dogs has severe health problems and must take twice daily medications that she handled with ease. What I really enjoyed is that we got at least one daily message and a picture of the dogs. It's so much easier to relax when you know your pets are in good hands. I was also very comfortable with her in my house. She is a true professional and I can't recommend her enough."
-Donna A., Grass Valley
"Nothing less than 5 stars for Come, Sit, Stay, LLC. Hazel was so professional and organized. I had no idea so much organization was needed for petsitting. She sent us pics every day of our cat. We have two cats, but one was being overly shy. I would use her services again without hesitation and highly recommend her to all my friends."
-Michelle G., Grass Valley
" I used Hazel Pettinger's "Come, Sit, Stay, LLC" petsitting services recently while I was out of town for 5 days. I was very satisfied. Hazel came twice a day and fed and walked my dog, fed the horses and kept me updated with pictures or a text. Hazel was very professional and I would recommend her services to anyone who wants quality care for their animals while they are away from their home."
-Don F., Grass Valley
"Hazel did a wonderful job pet sitting for our two cats. I love it when we come home and they are very relaxed! I like Hazel's professionalism, great communication and of course, the photos she sent to us of the cats while we were gone. Peace of mind!"
-Louise P., Grass Valley
"I would hire Hazel again in a heartbeat. She did an excellent job taking care of our two indoor cats, visiting them twice daily and sending photos of them at each visit, and they were clearly comfortable with her. (They're not always comfortable with our visitors.) She was cheerful, very pleasant to meet and talk to, and extremely professional. She was very clear about the information she would need in case of an emergency and had, essentially, thought of everything. She's not a casual petsitter; she is a businesswoman who is well prepared to take care of your pets. She was also willing to do some watering, and the garden looked great when we returned. I recommend her very highly."
-Anita M., Grass Valley
"I had Hazel watch my house and dogs recently. She does an amazing job. Very trustworthy, I feel 100% safe leaving my dogs and house with her... I can't say that about many people honestly. Highly recommend! My dogs love her. I'm grateful to have someone like this for my dogs when I travel."
-Jon D., Penn Valley
"Having Hazel care for our pets when we are away gave us such a peace of mind. She was extremely professional, absolutely reliable, and clearly devoted to the animals in her care. She was always quick to respond and was very attentive to the details of the situation. I highly recommend her!"
-Teri S., Grass Valley
"I highly recommend Hazel of Come, Sit, Stay, LLC. She is an absolute animal lover - my two labs love her! She is very professional and reliable with excellent judgement. I felt so relaxed leaving my dogs in her hands while away for 3 days. I trust her completely in my home and appreciate her professionalism."
-Bridgette H., Grass Valley
"It was such a pleasure to work with Hazel! She is friendly and professional and treated my home with care and respect. I received daily updates (including pictures) of my dog and cat while I was away. I returned home to a clean house and happy, healthy pets! After having some less than favorable house sitters in the past, it has been so nice to find someone who delivers on what she promises. I don't have to stress about going out of town anymore!"
-Becky H., Nevada City
"Hazel has visited our home when we were traveling to feed and care for our cat. She obviously enjoys contact with pets and provides companionship and human contact that our cat needs when we are not there to care for him. During our last trip our cat acted sick and she took him to our vet for treatment. I feel better when we travel knowing she will be looking after our cat."
-Jim P., Grass Valley
"We feel so lucky to have found "Come, Sit, Stay". Hazel is extremely professional and caring. It made us feel good to leave our animals in her hands. We'll definitely be calling her back."
-Julie T., Colfax
"After my original petsitting arrangement fell through at the last minute for a one month vacation, I scrambled to find a replacement. I contacted Hazel at Come, Sit, Stay, LLC after exhausting references from friends and neighbors. From our first meeting, it was immediately evident that Hazel was personable and knowledgeable, and she ran a very professional petsitting business. Hazel provided updates including pictures of my kitties throughout my vacation. In addition, Hazel had the added burden of caring for and transporting my senior cat to the veterinarian for an unexpected illness. I plan to continue using Hazel as my petsitter in the future as I cannot imagine finding anyone else who is as competent and professional as she is."
-Michelle S., Grass Valley
"Our wonderful pet sitter retired. Then we went through three pet sitters because of several awful experiences. Thankfully, we found Hazel! She's reliable, honest and responds promptly to messages. My really anxious kitty even let her pet him right away!
-Lydia W., Grass Valley
"Our 3 dogs are always happy to see Hazel! Two of them are intelligent, strong-willed stock dog mixes and the third is a stubborn sweetheart of an older beagle. As a pack, they can be a bit of a handful, but Hazel does a great job of keeping them in line without being harsh or mean. She clearly understands that they need an even balance of solid rules, exercise and snuggles. Hazel has done a great job learning their routines and commands, and I trust that having her with them is the next best thing to me being there myself. She also takes great care of our home and is friendly with our neighbors. I always feel comfortable leaving Hazel in charge of our home and pets!
-E.H., Trout Lake
"As I had never considered until now hiring a "housesitter", the entire experience was a new one for me. I must say too, I was a little apprehensive. After our first meeting, and my first impressions, I felt comfortable with Hazel and hired her to do a 5 day stay in my home. And since that experience, and after getting to know Hazel a bit more, it truly is my pleasure to write a testimonial on her behalf. Hazel is absolutely special. She is quite sincere, honest, dependable and trustworthy. I too got a glimpse of her real passion for animals. All in all, I felt it my good fortune in finding her, and I will without hesitation hire her again as the need arises."
-Kevin R., Foresthill
"Thank you so much for taking such good care of Bella! I would highly recommend Come, Sit, Stay, LLC to anyone in need of pet care."
-Randy V., Grass Valley
"Couldn't be happier with Hazel!! Our animals were happy and healthy, the house was spotless and I loved the pictures and updates!! I would highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again in the future!!"
-Shellie M., Grass Valley
"We are friends with Hazel but had not hired her before this past weekend!! I had no concerns at all!! She did such an amazing job watching our animals and home! Everything was clean, organized and animals were happy! I will always recommend her and can't wait for another adventure :) Thank again Hazel for an amazing job."
-Ashley Q., Grass Valley
"Hazel really runs a professional and valuable petsitting service, from our first phone call to the end of our trip we felt so comfortable about leaving our pets with her and would highly recommend her service. Thank you!!"
-Kristy B., Grass Valley
"In January of 2015, we relocated from Marin to Colfax. During the past three years we have utilized the services of four different local pet care-givers to look after our fur babies and often stay at our home while away. Due to career changes, our go-to caregivers are no longer in the business which led to a search for a new person, not typically an easy or fun process. We searched the internet with trepidation and ultimately found Hazel, the owner of Come, Sit, Stay, LLC. From the initial contact and interview it was obvious we had found a professional and caring person. While intuitively we felt no need for references, I did request them and followed up as a matter of due diligence. The references unanimously conveyed similar sentiments in Hazel and confessed that she exceeded their expectations and needs. After recently employing Hazel to look after our home and fur baby for a long weekend, we are delighted to add our voices in appreciation to Hazel for her care and professionalism and highly recommend Hazel to others seeking such services. Once again we make vacation plans without worry, knowing we leave our pets and home in the hands of a responsible, professional and warm individual."
