If you want peace of mind, DO NOT BOOK WITH DUNWOODY PET SITTERS ! We have a 16 year old, 4 pound…read more dog. Dunwoody Pet Sitters knows our dog is frail and nervous- though they charge top dollar, we had hired them a few times to stay in our home, so they knew our dog's limitations. (Though Dunwoody Pet Sitters charges top dollar, we booked with them because we wanted our toy dog to stay in her home but we never felt the service was ideal; for example, a quilt was stained, towels dyed, etc. ) Fall 2013, we booked a two week trip with the mother, from DPS, a mother daughter business. The arrangement was the same as always, that she or her daughter would stay in our home. We made this booking 6 weeks before we left , and the mother understood & she agreed. A few weeks prior to our departure, we confirmed with her by phone that she was to stay in our home, with our dog . However the week of our trip- after air fare & hotels had been paid, this woman informed us they planned to change our understanding & board our 16 year old 4 pound dog in their home. They have animals, and they board other animals. Our old dog would have been VERY stressed and/or injured, since she can hardly walk!! Every animal lover can relate - We have responsibilities to our pets; they are helpless - especially as they age. We tried reasoning with the woman but she exhibited no sense of responsibility. She was unsympathetic. Actually cold. Our impression was that she did not care about the welfare of our old dog, nor did she care that she broke her word. After I cancelled , she even left an immature voice mail, indicating she had so many bookings she did not need our business . This woman needs to think about what it mans to keep her word.Thank God - we found someone a couple of days before we left for our trip. It was meant to be - the sitter was reliable; our pet was well cared for, and the sitter stayed in touch with us while we were away with informative texts. Furthermore, when we came home, we found our house in good shape, much more than we could say about Dunwoody pet Sitters. Do your research. You will find better services.
