With one of my two pups having Addison's Disease & Lymphoma…read moreand the other having Allergies & being dog-selective, and both being on a raw diet - we never board our dogs. But, the time called for when we couldn't bring them with us on a trip, and The Simple Dogs was who I knew I could trust. Before their stay, Laura had a pre-meet, and we discussed their special needs/meds thoroughly. Then, during their stay, Laura was very communicative and provided updates and pictures of how they were doing. Never did I worry about them while in her care. A few pics of them during their stay.

I would definitely recommend Laura's services! She's great to communicate with to set up visits and…read moreflexible when I have a schedule change. She's patient with our dog Luna who's shy with other people when we're not around. I know every time Laura visits, Luna's getting loving, personalized attention, and she's in great hands. Laura's rates are competitive, but not having to worry about my dog being alone for too long during the day is priceless. So happy to have found The Simple Dogs!

There's nothing more terrifying than having to find a new pet sitter. So I am unbelievably lucky…read morethat I came across Fat Cat Pet Sitters. I have an older cat who was taken care of by close friends when we traveled. But when they had their third child, we didn't want to saddle them with our cat. And our cat's terror of vets made boarding out of the question. We saw the ad for Fat Cat in the local village newsletter, interviewed her over the phone and had our new sitter. That was a few years ago now and we could not be happier. Now, even if we're only away for a weekend, we'll have her stop by, and when we get home - short trip or long - our cat is so much more relaxed and we're forgiven for our abandonment much more quickly. Unless you have a cat, you can't really appreciate the power of feline disdain. Of kitty contempt. Having a pet sitter we can trust utterly, who spends time hanging with our senior pet, and who definitely makes a difference we can see when we get home is priceless. And as that goes, price-wise, I'm paying on par with what I paid before I moved here, which is more than reasonable. Don't settle for someone who doesn't come with a pet sitting pedigree: The woman who runs - who is - Fat Cat is insured, she has a long history in the same business in my area, and she has a network of long time sitters she works with for coverage if she's unavailable for any part of our sitting term. And it's rare that she's ever unavailable. In all the years we've worked with Fat Cat, that's only happened once, and the woman who covered did an equally great job with our pet, and she had an equally strong reputation and history. When you're giving someone responsibility for you pet AND access to your home while you're away, trust is the most important factor. Despite being anxious people, we have no reservations about Fat Cat Pet Sitters and only the highest praise.

I got incredibly lucky with Meryl and Fat Cat Pet Sitters. Husband and I were going on a 15 day…read morevacation trip across the Atlantic and the notion of leaving my kitties behind made me feel restless and incredibly uneasy. I wasn't sure what to do. When I found Fat Cat Pet Sitters (pretty close to me) and spoke to Meryl, I just knew I found someone who will look after my furbabies. We talked few times on the phone, arranged a meeting, she came over and we were able to discuss everything and anything. While we were away, she would message me every two, three days about the cats (I have 3), just to let me know what they've been up to, she'll send you photos, bring mail in, play with them little. I was truly able to enjoy my trip knowing she was looking after them. I will be using Meryl in the future when we travel again. You can just tell she loves cats and they love her back :)

Kristen responds to questions and requests promptly and professionally. Unlike with our previous sitter, the dogs seem extremely happy and stress free when we get home. Kristen, Tracy and Lois made a great impression from the initial interview and continue to impress us with their care and concern for our dogs. It is truly a relief to know our dogs are being taken care with love and attention while we are gone.

Enough good can not be said about Tail Waggin' Pet Services…read more Recently, I had to go out of town, and did not want to put my four-pawed children in a Puppy Prison, so I looked around and decided to hire Tail Waggin' to pet sit my kids. From the first meeting, where Kristen came to meet the dogs, I knew I had found someone who would care about my dogs as much as I do. One of my dogs really does like anyone but me. Kristen took her time, and I think spent extra time to get to know her. I received daily emails with pictures of how they were doing, which no Puppy Prison has ever done for me. When I got home, I saw how well they were, and looked happy and healthy as when I left them. When Kristen came to drop off my keys, my kids were excited to see her, so I knew right then, when I need a pet sitter, or pet walker, I know you to call, and you should too.

When arrived they wanted to use ropes to lift him with due to so badly soiled. So we supplied our own blanket and carried him to car. He was in obvious pain, soiled, bleeding from mouth. He was immediately taken to animal hospital and advised had to be put down for fractured back and kidney issues. When asked for an explanation Randa immediately sent a refund saying upon my request, which was just for explanation. When followed up was told I can't sue because I signed a waiver, that it was my fault for boarding an older dog and not boarded before. I never made any accusations or asked for anything but an explanation. I'm so devastated I left my pet/family member in their care.

It makes it much easier to trust someone with your animal and know you're leaving them in good hands when you see how much they love animals. We don't get to use Jason as much as Parker would like since our work schedule has become much more flexible. Jason has ALWAYS been available even when I have asked him to come by the same day. He is flexible, friendly, and always sends lots of pics of his visits which is much appreciated. We have never had any problems and he always, always locks up and keeps our pets safe while he is here. The icing on the vegan cake is that he is licensed and insured too!
