    We have been using Kate's Critter Care for many years to provide in home care for pur sweet pooches…read more(Pepsi and Sprite). The care, love and sincere affection for our pooches in addition to their RELIABILITY, CONSISTENCY AND FLEXIBILITY that Kate's Critter Care has provided makes them a premier service provider for anyone who loves their pets. The list of times they have made adjustments to accomodate our needs is endless, and our pooches truly do love them! I urge anyone and everyone to become long term clients! Kate's Critter Care rocks!!!

    Wow, where to start and what to say about our incredible experience with Kate's for our…read morekitty-care... Let's start with our two spoiled princesses, Mimi and Dora, one inside and one outside that we dote-on daily. As we had planned to fly out of town, their care was a huge stress-point for us, and we researched a service for weeks. Add to that is the home-security factor as well. Having Kate's team being so experienced, and secured, we've found that not only peace-of-mind, but an invaluable part of our support system for our kitty-girls. However, even more than that, is the incredible and amazing care and attention to detail they brought to the service, and... AND... connected us with Michelle who unbelieveably bonded instantly with our ultra spoiled indoor kitty Mimi (who warms up to noone). Not only did Mimi bond with her, she loved Michelle's coming over! We have the camera footage, plus Michelle's awesome daily photo's and video's too! It's almost impossible to convey our appreciation and happy stun-factor, but EPIC is probably the best word! 5 Platinum Stars Incredible!!!!!

    Strangest experience. Dee Dee took a disliking to my partner. After the interview was over, she…read morecame back and said her employees found fleas after interacting with our animals. This was a great surprise, so we took all of our pets to the vet, and he confirmed that our pets didn't have any fleas. The problem is that she made a REALLY big deal about the fleas and said that her employees wouldn't sit for us because of the fleas. She lectured us about hard it was to get rid of fleas and that we had to bomb and do follow-up treatment. She was really weird. She first said that one of her employees found 3 fleas on him during the interview. After that, when she came back, she said she was picking fleas off of the other employee and that he told her that he wouldn't pet sit for us. She was awful and oh so strange and the message was that we were lucky to have her team as pet sitters, as though we were the lucky ones to have her, not that we were valued as a customer. Keep in mind that I worked many years as a pet sitter and never would have treated a potential customer the way this very strange team treated us. There are so many pet sitters that are great. Keep looking, please. Thank goodness, our pets don't have fleas, confirmed by our vet. That said, how annoying because she didn't like my partner she made up ugly stories, I guess assuming that we wouldn't check. Very, very weird people, and we're very glad we didn't allow them in our home with our pets when we weren't home.

    Dee Dee has been my pet sitter for several years now. My two dogs get daily walks and lots of…read moreattention. Both of the dogs have medical conditions and Dee Dee and her staff are attentive and patient with their needs. They always make sure the dogs (and my cat) get a treat, plenty of loving and water bowls filled. Dee Dee has helped me out with reliable critter care whenever I am out of town, and most recently helped me out during my hospitalization and recuperation from surgery. They definitely went above and beyond in providing care to my animals (and to me). I find Dee Dee and her staff to be trustworthy, reliable and my critters love them!

    Bones Pet Care - Brownie gives Christa (owner) a kiss.

    Bones Pet Care

    I write this review because I would not want any pet owner to experience what I experienced with…read moreBones. Specifically, with the owner, Christa Sharp. Christa showed complete disregard for the wellbeing of my cats and for the safety of my home. She was unprofessional, unpredictable, noncommunicative, and unreachable. My last petsitting from Bones was March 3, 2018. It left me completely distraught over whether my cats were even okay while I was more than 1,000 miles away. I begged Christa to confirm that my cats were okay. She never did. Never. It was absolutely cruel and cold. An overview of the visit is here, for you to make your own decision about whether Bones is right for you. I started with Bones in the summer of 2014. Service was great for the first two years. It went downhill, then uphill, and then downhill again since then. Christa, the owner, did my last petsitting visit in Durham, NC on March 3, 2018. I unexpectedly was stuck in New York City because of a Nor'Easter that grounded all outgoing flights. I booked my Saturday morning, 30 minute appointment through the Bones online scheduling system on Friday (3/2) at 7:30AM. For past visits, Christa had encouraged me to write instructions into the booking system for what my cats needed. (Even though the cats' routine was the same as shown to Bones in 2014 and never changed much.) So, I wrote instructions in the booking for what was needed, including the fact that my house alarm was set and on. I put *** by this fact, emphasizing that whoever did the visit would need to be ready to disarm the house alarm with a certain code in a certain place. Done. Booking submitted. In addition, the online schedule system displayed a note that indicated a pet owner should text Christa if the owner was scheduling a visit for within the next 24 hours. I was close to that cutoff, so I texted Christa about the booking. She texted back "Ok thank you I can do it". Fast forward to Saturday morning 10AM. My phone rings. I miss it. Caller ID indicates it was my security company. I call them back. They tell me that the front door alarm of my house was triggered. I tell them it's okay and they cancel dispatch. I immediately text Christa and ask if she is at the house (10:01AM). No response. I wait. I text again (10:19AM), explaining that I got a call from my security company that the house alarm was triggered. I gave her directions to disarm the alarm. I asked if she could relay those instructions to whoever was at the house. She responds (10:23AM) that she didn't have her phone with her and did not know how to use the alarm. She says, "I am sorry I was not able to turn it off". I text back (10:25AM) that it's okay, since she still should be there she can shut off the alarm now. I remind her that the instructions for disarming the alarm are written out in the note for my booking as well. Her response (10:26AM): " I am not doing a 30 minute visit with the alarm blaring. ... I guess I will go turn it off but this is the last time I can do any sitting for you. Thanks." Think about that text for a minute. 1. She didn't stay 30 minutes for the 30 minute visit. 2. She didn't read the instructions that I left for the visit, which she specifically told me to write. 3. She didn't contact me about my alarm going off. 4. And MOST IMPORTANTLY - she left my house with the house alarm blaring - with my two cats inside, helpless to get away from that distressing sound. !!!!! I, of course, sent a series of texts begging her to confirm that she did go back, that the alarm is shut off, that my cats are okay. (Again - she explicitly states that she does not take phone calls.) No response. No response. No response. The End. This entire experience with Bones / Christa was not just unprofessional and wrong, it was CRUEL to my cats and to me. No one like Christa should be pet sitting. Please, please, for the sake of your pets (children), find a different pet sitter. Find one who actually cares about animals and who will communicate with you.

I literally can leave the house and say, "Christa's coming today!", and Kenzie's tail goes a-wagging! I am in retail, and my schedule changes daily. Not once when I have given Christa even less than a 12 hour request for a walk, does she decline service! And if Christa goes on a well-deserved vacation, she always has our pets covered! I can never thank Bones Pet Care more for being there all of the time!! --Alison C.
