The thing I like most about using this service instead of a friend, neighbor or family member is that Fetch! Pet Care Sarasota has a team of sitters.

We just moved here 4 months ago from Texas and we're in search of a new vet. We found this place on…read moreGoogle Maps. It had 108 reviews and a 4.8 star average. Although that's not that many reviews, we chose to give it a try because of the star average, the close proximity to our home and because out of the 10 different veterinary offices nearby, this was the only one what offered a pet plan. Upon arriving, the building looked kind of dated and it's easy to pass by, so be careful you don't miss it. When we walked in, all their merchandise and pet supplies looked well organized. There was even a white board that welcomed my miniature poodle, Rupert, for his first visit, which was very thoughtful of the staff. One of the ladies behind the counter asked how she could help us, but her disposition was very unwelcoming and unmannerly. We later found out from the doctor that her name was Brenda. As we were filling out the forms Brenda gave us, our dog was getting pretty nervous (which he does when he notices a shift in our regular routine or feels like he's in danger). He was whining and shaking a lot. Then I heard Brenda tell the other receptionist with annoyance, "Can you please get them into a room, so I can get my work done!" That was rude! If sounds that animals make bother you so much, you should not be working at a veterinarian office. One bad apple has the potential to sour the whole experience, so I have a few suggestions for this. Brenda should try smiling, adding some cheerfulness to her tone of voice, and being friendly with the animals and their owners. She has to 'act' like her job is enjoyable even if it isn't. Or she should work in the back, where there's no interaction with the customers. Once we were in a room, we let our dog down onto the floor, and I immediately noticed there was pee on the floor from a previous dog under the examination table. I also noticed the calendar still on December 2022, but that's besides the point. Autumn entered the room and greeted us with a smile. She was very jovial and bubbly! She started off with some friendly small talk, which made us feel like she was showing personal interest in us and our pup, and we even shared a few laughs. Then she asked some thorough questions about Rupert's health history. She really tried to help Rupert feel comfortable. She took him to the back for some blood work and returned with Dr. Kurtz. Dr. Kurtz was also very kind and sweet. She was gentle and patient with Rupert, which is important to us and she was very knowledgeable. She answered all of our questions and we definitely trust her with Rupert's care. As we were checking out, we paid for our visit with Stephanie. Stephanie was also very pleasant and had a friendly demeanor. She was concerned about how our visit went and she explained in detail what we would be charged for. We ended up signing up for the pet plan and had all of Rupert's semi annual tests done, along with some take home medication. Everything came up to about $405. Our only qualm was that at no time over the phone or in person were we told about a $99 plan startup fee for the Silver Plan. But that's fine. Overall, it was a good experience. And obviously we will be back since we live here now.

If you are looking for a pet sitter that goes ABOVE AND BEYOND, please PLEASE don't look any…read morefurther, and I'll tell you why: 3 weeks prior to my trip home for Christmas, my sweet 10 year old cat Puff was diagnosed with congestive heart failure and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM)... I was heartbroken obviously, and at a loss of what to do. With the hope of going home for the holidays, I was in serious need of someone who was willing (and most importantly, capable) to handle such responsibility while I was away (visits 2x per day and administering pill's each visit... no easy task!). I began the hunt for a trustworthy pet sitter. I found Christa from Wiggle Your Tail through a client of mine who belongs to a pet sitting Facebook group who posted about my situation, and Christa was the first to reply to the post. I met her and 3 other pet sitters, one was even from a cat-only company which I assumed would be the most qualified, but I was pleasantly surprised when Christa came over for the meet & greet. She was HANDS DOWN the most sweet and comforting to my cat, as well as the ONLY one Puff didn't run away from before they entered my home. I do have to mention she also was the most communicative/responsive out of all companies. I instantly knew she had a special love for animals, you can tell by the way she tried slowly introducing herself to Puff during her first visit. I'll make the long story short here - I was having HUGE issues administering Puff's meds for more than a week, and I was beyond frustrated. I felt pretty hopeless as he was being SUPER difficult and non-cooperative (more than the typical cat I'd say), and although we didn't nail his meds the first meet & greet, Christa came over multiple times after to try and try again. She was so sweet and understanding of our situation, and after a couple attempts and trial and error, we FINALLY got it down!!!! Puff was NEVER afraid of her, always calm when she was over, and I can't begin to tell you all how above and beyond her customer service is. I am SO INSANELY GRATEFUL for finding Christa. In the end, my heart was telling me I should stay home with my sweet boy this holiday season as it may be our last together. We were too fresh into our new routine that I just didn't feel right leaving him quite yet, so I let Christa know right away as she graciously held the holiday time slots for me until I felt comfortable to make that decision, and her response was nothing but professional and supportive. I told her I wanted to continue using her after the holidays to do drop in visits when we need a little help here and there, so we plan on having a few more visits in the new year so she and Puff can become super comfortable with each other by the time I need to leave town again. I can honestly say at this point I wouldn't trust anyone else but her to confidently take care of his medical needs while my sweet little baby is still here with us. If you made it this far, you probably are super nervous to leave your pet with anyone, but please PLEASE know that your animal will be in amazing hands while you are away. THANK YOU CHRISTA!!!! Puff and I can't wait to keep working with you!

Instead of returning them in a sturdy shipping envelope or box, Christa took a piece of regular white paper and folded it and stapled it into an envelope. Regular white paper! It was not strong enough or meant to ship house keys. And I didn't receive them right away, and when I contacted Christa, she didn't respond back. I thought that was pretty unprofessional. I would recommend insisting that Christa deliver your house keys in person, if she ends up moving again.

I am very sorry to say that her way was not the best way for my dog and none of my dogs issues were solved or even came close by the time the class was done. I noticed that none of the dogs in our class were any better. Most didn't even show up to graduation. Since her classes - i have learned so much by watching Cesar Millan videos and applying those techniques to my dogs issues. The results have been amazing. My dog is not one to learn from the nice approach (which is Meg's method). My dog needed the pack leader approach - I am now the pack leader. I just wish i would have read the Cesar books and watched videos before i spent the money on these classes .
