I cannot say enough phenomenal things about Lily and Pick of the Litter! This was my first time…read moreever leaving my corgi with someone, and I honestly thought I was going to feel so anxious. But from the moment I left, Lily made me feel completely comfortable and at ease. Lily followed Butters' routine PERFECTLY, was incredibly sweet and professional, and kept me updated throughout the entire stay with thoughtful texts, videos, and pictures. It meant so much knowing Butters was not only being well taken care of, but genuinely loved and treated like her own. I am officially a huge fan of Pick of the Litter and would recommend Lily to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their furry loved one. I really appreciate the pride and care Pick of the Litter puts into choosing the people who look after our little loved ones. We will absolutely be back!

Susie is very loving and responsible. My dogs adore her! We typically book her for live-in stays, but on occasion we also use her for drop in care. I always receive updates with photos and my dogs always appear relaxed and happy. It makes such a difference having the same person care for my pets, and gives me so much peace of mind. Lisa, the owner, is in tune with all her caregivers. Recently, our flight kept getting delayed and we ended up having to ask Susie to stay longer than anticipated. Once we landed, I let Susie know she could leave as we would be home soon. Before we got home I received an email from Lisa asking me to let her know we made it home so as our dogs were not left without care in the event something delayed us further. We had used other sitters before we found Pick of the Litter, and nothing compares to the care and communication we receive from them. I highly recommend!

They go out of their way to care for her, leave treats for her to find to keep her occupied when they leave, leave me detailed notes if they notice something...I trust them 100%.

I know that if something were to happen in an emergency, I could call Margie to help me figure out care for my dog.

An upstairs toilet decided he was going nuclear, spilling hundreds of gallons from a cracked tank. Nikki proactively pulled out her camera to document the event with video and then photos. She helped bail water and make sure the insurance process was going right. Once things settled down she got our cats set up in a room that wasn't damaged so the workers could work and found a temporary home for our dogs until we got back from our 3 day trip. All of this was quite stressful for us, but I swear she took the brunt of it. I don't know what we would have done without her.

Jen also sells kitty toys on her website www.jenhenry.com/shop. Our kitty loves these toys, she is 12 years old but plays like a kitten with these hand made, catnip filled goodies. The toys are made from natural fibers so you can feel safe when your baby chews on them, unlike some of the imported toys. Be sure to check these out and support a local business. There are different toys for different holidays, here are some photos of the Christmas toys and our Estrella playing with the Halloween kick toy which came packed in a cute box with a 'Spyder,' an eyeball with catnip and a bell inside, and two catnip filled 'candy wrappers'

I had won a trip and was frantically calling around only to find out everyone was booked - one of those places suggested I contact Just Around the Corner.

They use an app that makes the whole process seamless from beginning to end. I would gladly use again and suggest others their services as well - oh, and I might add that their rates are incredibly reasonable too.

We didn't realize we needed to bring dog food when we dropped off Abigail but Theresa was flexible with providing it. Usually, with the boarding we have done with Altavista and Petsmart, we wouldn't need dog food but at least now we know next time. Theresa also had other dogs there and when we picked up Abigail, we noticed how much calmer our dog was. I think it did her a world of good to play with the other dogs. Given the reasonable prices, we would definitely use this pet sitting service for overnight and doggie day care. She also takes credit cards which is convenient!

If I were my sitter, I would have quit by now. I've spent the last several months trying to plan…read moretwo vacations next month as my husband has to take his sabbatical in September or lose it. But much like Big Sexy did, Miss Suzi (aka Lulu aka The Lu) has other ideas about vacations. Her blood work earlier this month showed she needed to begin fluid therapy and injections, frequency to be determined and adjusted as we go. Although I had decided to have a vet tech come to our home on the days treatments are needed (requiring coordination between the tech and the sitter), both Charlie and Jen, our regular sitter, did offer to learn the techniques for sub-Q. But after Suzi's recent seizure, I've been up in the air about whether to increase the number of daily visits or board her, assuming she recovered. Again, they have been super understanding about my waiting until the last minute to determine what is best for her. Well, we're scheduled to leave next week and have decided not to go at all. I'm not comfortable leaving her home alone and 12 days is too long to board her. It came down to what's best for Suzi or what's best for my husband. The cat won...again. There will be another sabbatical in 4 short years, and hopefully I'll still have a husband. There won't be another Lu. But a huge thank you to Charlie and Jen for doing everything possible to accommodate our situation!

She leaves notes/diary of her time with your pet and notes anything of concern or potential interest. She will also pick up your mail, water plants and adjust your window shades and turn on lights if requested. A daily visit is $22. While my Bo travels well, I know he is more cozy at home on his "tower of power", than living out of a suitcase with me.

They continually send pictures and let us know how he was doing but we could see from his face he was having a grand time. We are so relieved to have a place to leave our precious little boy knowing that he is safe, happy and very well taken care of!!! Thank you House of Mutts!!!
