I contacted Alex w/Oak City & they were able to get our pets in even with pretty short notice. Oak City came to our home each day we were gone to feed & water our boys as well as scoop litter & administer meds to one of them. They also took a pic of them everyday and texted it to me. I 100% looked forward to getting that pic everyday. They were really nice and easy to work with. We're definitely going to use them again next time we go on vacation. Two thumbs (and two paws) up!

I agree with all the great reviews for Cuddles On Call! Megan and Justin did a wonderful job and I…read morewasn't worried about the medicine that my cat has to have twice a day; they were happy to do so, 12 hours apart -- and they are skilled at giving meds in general. They video taped the cats hanging out and getting lots of attention and sent it to me while we were gone. I actually got home a bit early, so it was terrific that Justin could give lots of attention to my male cat (who obviously adored him and wouldn't stop rubbing up against his legs) while I brought my stuff in. Justin even offered to help me unload, but it was even better to see how much the cats loved them! I would recommend them to anyone who has to leave their homes -- it's reassuring to know that pet sitting isn't just a 'job' to them -- they love animals! If I still had dogs, I would also hire them in a heartbeat! Carroll H. PS Sorry it took me so long to post this, guys!

When you need to leave your furry little friend going on vacation, who can you call? Raleigh Pet…read moreSitters! I always feel a bit guilty leaving my Bengal cat behind when I take off but what can you do? Thankfully, Raleigh Pet Sitters has become a reliable part of the team that makes my traveling life a bit easier with pet-sitting and general home upkeep. Before you sign up as a client they do an in-house visit to first get the details, smart idea. At $19/day for a visit which includes taking care of kitty-fido, grabbing mail and more, I've used them several times over the last year or so. They've been reliable and good with communications while I'm out. They also try to pair you up with the same pet-sitter for consistency which is a nice plus. And if you follow their Facebook page, they post regularly on their visits which is a good way to stay engaged. So overall no complaints about Raleigh Pet Sitters, they have done a very solid job for me and yeah, I'm pretty sure I'll be using them again. If I could only get my cat out from under the bed while I'm gone, now that would be a pet-sitting miracle...

We had such a great experience working with Raleigh Pawz! Everyone we interacted with was…read moreprofessional and friendly. Our dog is very nervous around strangers, but our weekend away went so smooth for him thanks to Lindsey. She was clearly experienced working with dogs and was very patient with him as he slowly warmed up to her. She also gave us great updates each visit with lots of photos which was so sweet. Can't recommend enough if you're looking for a pet sitter!

Amber has been caring for my two dogs for 2 years now. She is amazing. Both my dogs are…read moredifficult to handle: one is extremely nervous and will run away or growl/snap in new situations. The other one is sweet natured, but barks incessantly in any new situation or when other people or dogs are encountered. They both love Amber, and she is better able to handle them than any dog trainer I have used. (And I have used numerous.) Amber not only provides walks and play time, but it is clear that she has been helping to train the dogs. They have shown significantly improved behavior on walks after she has been working with them. She is extremely patient with them and clearly cares for them. Both dogs love her, and I can't imagine using anyone else. Amber has provided daily walks for extra exercise and has also cared for them when I was traveling. Neither dog seems to miss me when I am out of town....which I consider to be the best recommendation possible! She seems to truly understand them and goes out of her way to make sure they are happy and comfortable. She is an absolute natural around dogs, and I'd recommend her to anybody.

This company has set me up with 2 different dog walkers, both of whom have been fantastic (the…read morefirst woman had left the company due to other priorities). It was nice that when my original dog walker left, I was hooked up quickly with another woman who came by to meet my dog and has been my go-to dogsitter ever since. The dog walker I've been working with most recently, Darlene, is the best. I feel totally comfortable leaving town and knowing she will be taking care of my dog, Stella. She emails and leaves notes to let me know how Stella did while I was away, and has been available to help me out every time I've needed to go out of town, or needed a last minute dogwalk.

He writes notes after every visit letting us know all of the events that happened. He is so sweet! He also confirms with an email that he will be coming to the appointment so we know ahead of time we have nothing to worry about. The group is conscientious and very nice to work with. I travel a lot for work so it is very comforting to know that our animals are being well taken care of. I put full trust in them and they have never let me down. I am grateful to have found them!

However, early this month the company "changed ownership" and dropped clients and dog walkers without giving an explanation of any changes. They still have many people's prepaid money and have changed their email and stopped responding to phone calls or clients trying to figure out what is going on. They are still trying to operate as a company and take on new clients... save yourself the headache and ABSOLUTELY DO NOT signup to use their services.

Yes, there are a lot of questions to answer and paperwork to do when you sign-up for service, but everything has a purpose and you'll be glad you went through the process so then, when you leave your pets in their care, you know they're in good hands. They keep you updated, follow through and go beyond the extra mile if needed (if you have pets you know what I mean). The only limitation is that she has a limited coverage area but if you're lucky enough to be within it, you won't find any better!

I recently used Pure Love Pet Sitting for the first time after using a local boarding company for…read moremy needs. I can't say enough about the level of service and care that Pure Love provided for my pets. They took time to explain their service during the first visit and ensured that my pets would be a good fit. While away, they followed all instructions precisely and went above and beyond by cleaning water bowls and bringing in trash despite not being asked. Another great touch was the numerous photos they sent with the visit report card which helped reassure me that my pets were having a great time during each visit and enjoying the less stressful experience of being home versus at a traditional boarding stay. Overall, I HIGHLY recommend Pure Love Pet sitting for your needs, you will never go back to traditional boarding!
