    Harassing texts from owner
    Dolores M.

    This is not someone you want to trust with your animals - I had to block her number because of the multiple harassing calls I received from Rose after posting my last review - I also posted a similar review on another pet review website and she claims that it is an "AI" post, let me assure you I am a real woman with real concerns - people in the neighborhood are starting to feel uncomfortable with the large animal traps she sets out in front of her home (I would post pictures but I want to respect her privacy, even though she can't seem to respect mine) - last week, she also confronted me at a local grocery store near where we both live and called me multiple names including "liar" and "psychotic b****" and once again tried to bully me into taking my review down - for her claiming it to be "fake" she sure is concerned about me taking it down - all this would have taken to resolve is for her to apologize and not try to bill me for days she did not show up. Something else I did not add in my previous review - be careful letting her into your home, she let out a GIANT fart in the middle of her consultation that she tried to blame on my hard wood floors creaking. I truly hope she has some family that can come help her, she's not doing well.

    Absolutely terrible service, would never recommend Rose to take care of any pets and I'm upset that I let her be responsible for mine. I should have read the other negative Yelp reviews before booking, they all validate my experience. I had Rose cat sit for my 2 cats for 2 days. There were many issues with her service, but I'll list the most important ones here. She charged $35 just for the meet and greet which I've never heard of before, and after we scheduled it she asked for the gate code and building number (which is just the number in my address) which I texted to her. The morning of the first pet sit comes, I get a text and phone call waking me up at 6:45am asking for the gate code saying that she can't get in. I missed the phone call, but texted her back to send her the gate code again. A few minutes go by and I'm waiting for confirmation that she got into the gate, and when she texts me back she says yes she got in but asks if the number I just sent her is my building number. Huh? No, you asked for the gate code so I sent you what you asked for. Before I can text back I get another phone call asking what my building number is because she doesn't see it. I tell her that the number I sent was not the building, and tell her the correct building. She finally figures it out and she gets into the apartment. You didn't need to call me or text me at all since you had this information already, you've visited my apartment before, you're not making any sense when I'm trying to answer your questions, and you woke me up early in the morning for something completely unnecessary. On the next visit, she texts me saying she wasn't able to open the cat feeder to add more food to the top. I have a gravity feeder setup while I'm away on trips so there is a compartment on the top that you can add food to and the food falls down into the dish below. I had asked her to top off the food since I wasn't sure if I added enough to last for my whole trip and it would be nice if she could make sure there was enough until I returned. She acted like the only thing she could do was add more food to the top and since she couldn't figure it out didn't give my cats any more food. When I questioned this, she didn't seem to have a response. It's not hard to just twist the top off the feeder, it's a quarter turn then pull it off. Even if you can't figure it out, add a few more scoops to the bowl or another dish next to it or something. Seems like she wanted more money to have to come back to add more food and made a dumb excuse why she couldn't figure it out. Another reason why this was an issue is because I have a pet camera setup that has a view down the hallway to the litter boxes, to the kitchen to see the food and water dishes, and into the living room. After the second visit, I could no longer see down the hallway and my view of the food bowl was blocked because the camera had been moved back on the table by about 8 inches. I asked her if she moved it, she made another dumb excuse why it was moved saying that the cats were very active and they must have jumped and bumped it. They've never moved the camera before during this trip or any others, so you're saying they were only active and jumping around when you were there? And it was conveniently placed just so that I couldn't see the food bowls anymore, in the exact same orientation as before, not knocked over just pushed straight back by about 8 inches? Unfortunately this camera only does live feed so I couldn't go back and look at the footage to see what really happened. But this sounded like another part of her plan to try to get more money by coming back for additional visits to fix things. She had said at the meet and greet that she would leave my house as good if not better than she found it, but she moved my things and did not put them back where she found them. Even if it was the cats I still think you should put things back in place that were moved during your visit. She also left my toilet lid up so that the cats got into the toilet and tracked their paws with toilet water on them around the house which is the reason I keep it closed, and she moved where my litter mats were placed near the litter boxes and didn't move them back. After my experience and reading other reviews, I think Rose needs to learn how to treat her customers with respect and not just try to scam people out of their money at the risk of their pets.

    Rose was very thorough in communication and took care of my pup. Just be aware she charges a rate for a specified time but unfortunately doesn't actually provide the full time paid for. When she was confronted about the significant shortage of time, she berated me and left me a nasty note with my key return. Not professional!!!

    We have found our new pet sitter. Rose is great! My cat is cranky (putting it mildly) when meeting new people, and Rose was wonderful in letting Sweetpea decide when she wants to interact. Love getting the daily updates from Rose. She's very professional and trustworthy. Highly recommend her!

    The Pet Nanny - Drew and Masudi

    The Pet Nanny

    (16 reviews)

    Drew has been such an amazing cat caregiver for my crew of fuzzballs for the past several years…read morethat I've decided I can never move out of the area. If you're looking for someone with a genuine love of and connection to cats, who is very experienced with cat behavior and health issues, and who is supremely trustworthy and reliable - look no further than Drew. Before I met Drew I spent so much time on Yelp contacting other pet sitters in the area and they all seemed like they were mostly dog-oriented and just tolerated cats and would be only dropping by to make sure my cats were alive. Then I contacted Drew and I knew right away she was special - she actually adores cats and her primary concern is getting to know your cats' individual needs and quirks and providing the best comprehensive care possible while putting your mind at ease with daily checks-ins and photos. (She also owns a photography business and you can hire her for an epic pet photo session!) Drew regularly takes care of my guys, whether I'm busy for one day or away for a longer trip. Under anyone else's care, I'd worry about their individual dietary and behavioral needs - I have a picky older cat with anxiety and urinary issues, a goofy black cat with a sensitive tummy and a history of eating inedible objects and getting the occasional ear infection, and a young, spunky one-eyed cat who once had an injured leg. Not only has Drew gotten to know each of their personalities and connected with them like they're her own pets (they greet her at the door), she has expertly attended to their occasional extra needs and has on multiple occasions taken the time to talk me through my concerns about their issues. In addition to being a cat owner herself, Drew has experience working at clinics and rescues and volunteers her time at a cat sanctuary so I thoroughly trust her input and consider her a valued care companion and part of our pet family. My cats (and I) absolutely adore Drew and there's just no better feeling when you're away than total peace of mind that your fur family is receiving the best possible care. 5 stars, 10/10. Thank you, Drew!

    I brought my puppy here for socialization class and came back for their membership training…read moreclasses. Cassi and Lindsay have been great trainers and I have noticed a difference in our dogs. They use positive reinforcement for their training method. Midtown Mutts also offers dog walking, 1:1 sessions and pet sitting. My neighbor uses them for pet sitting and she loves them. You pay based on how many visits and the length of time you want them to stay. They take pictures everyday they visit to show you how your pet was that day. Pros: they have a membership and you can choose 1 or 5 classes a month. These classes don't roll over if you don't use them - I made the mistake of thinking they do. They have a calendar where it lists the classes, time and topic. The calendar is a bit clunky and confusing so it takes a bit to figure out how to navigate. If they don't have too many people sign up and you need help in a certain area, they accommodate your request. They have answered my numerous questions and been very patient. I can say my puppy REALLY enjoyed class because he was showered with treats also as a lab, he never turns food down! Cons: if there is a large class and the gym in the same business structure is busy, parking can be a bit hard to find.

I am even more picky with the important things worth being picky about a good salon visit, a great pedicure, and even more importantly family and pets. Yeah, don't mess with them. So I have to tell about this pet walking service, my German Shepherd Lola loved this lady and she loved her back. Miki's sweet and patient nature put Lola at ease and soon she was allowing her to walk her. I would have been jealous if I wasn't so happy that I had found someone dependable who could walk Lola when I couldn't. And Miki was so accommodating with my busy schedule. She also provided good tips on a couple of Lola's bad habits. I also like the fact that this lady is very involved with a foster rescue dog service and has been with them a long time, this really speaks well about her passion. She is now on my cell phone contact list!

    We recently booked with Lucky Buddy Petcare for a vacation and am glad we gave them a chance!…read more We first met the owner Janet and loved her vibe. My main concern was our dogs not being comfortable with the rotation of different pet sitters, so I expressed that concern with Janet and figured out a plan to prepare our dogs. We ended up booking walks for our dogs to meet with the different sitters they may encounter during our vacation. Each walker/sitter we met was equally friendly and our three German shepherds had no issue with either one of them. We received reports after each visit, which we appreciated. What I do appreciate most about Lucky Buddy Petcare is that we're not dependent on one person's schedule while planning. The booking process is super easy through their website. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a pet sitting company!

I am grateful to have found Janet and her team to walk and stay overnight with my smart, loving and rambunctious Aussie, Jake. Jake loved his walks and especially enjoyed his time with Janet and Kathleen when they stayed with him when I went on my first trip in years because I would not board him. I told my friends I thought he was two-timing me because he was so happy and relaxed when I arrived home. I also had a dog walker come every day at Janet's suggestion while I was away and I truly appreciate the time and care these young women gave to Jake during that time and his regular walks. Sadly, Jake is no longer with me. He was only six years old but he had a medical condition that was lurking, unknown and undiagnosed until it suddenly appeared shattering my world. My first call was to my friend, a retired vet, who told me the likely diagnoses. My second call was to Janet who told me where the best ER animal hospital was located and provided additional emotional support. Janet continued to reach out and check to see if I was alright after I had to make a pet owner's most dreaded decision.
