The head of the rescue is a no nonsense sort of person because her number one concern is the animals. Her way of getting her point across may seem gruff to some people.

The couple that run the Forget me not shelter really have a heart for animals. Their home is…read moreabsolutely overrun with beautiful furry buddies. Obviously Anchorage has a problem with irresponsible people adopting and dumping ferrets. Insert sad face here. These folks are extremely knowledgeable about ferrets and take it seriously. The contract they make you sign when you adopt is no joke. They also only adopted out spayed and neutered ferrets and they only adopt a them out in groups (so you have to adopt a minimum of 2). Ferrets are highly social and need companionship or they die of depression. I wish more people would adopt from this shelter, because ferrets are great pets and it's depressing to see all these precious critters confined to cages. Ferrets are super poopers, and it's got to be a real battle trying to clean up after 50 plus ferrets. The shelter is very.... ferret-y. God bless the Sims family for turning over their own to these little guys. We adopted a group of 3 elderly ferrets last fall and it was the best decision ever. Since they're old, they're super mellow. It's like owning furry Slinkies that like to lick you. If you like the personality of a dog, but like the cat-like convenience of a smaller animal that is litter-trained, consider adopting a couple ferrets from here. They're awesome apartment pets. They're not, however great pets if you have small kids because ferrets play nip, and they also can't tolerate being dropped. But they're great pets for older kids because they are fun to play with, can be trained to do tricks, and can even be leash trained. They also only live 5-10 years, so when your kid goes off to college, you won't be stuck taking care of them. As the Sims will tell you, like all animals, in their senior years, ferrets do develop health problems , so you need to be prepared for some end of life vet bills. But they're so fun! If you've been wanting a cool, fun, wacky pet, call for an appointment to meet some furry bandits.

When we returned from our trips, our cats were happy and healthy, their food and litter areas were in fine shape, and their dishes were all taken care of. Our security system indicated that Tina spent nearly an hour at our place each time. And Tina sent photos almost daily of her playtime with them. Really great for our peace of mind. We are very particular when it comes to out cats and wouldn't hesitate about having Tina's Pet Nannies care for them again. Highly recommended!

I…read moreinterviewed several when I arrived here as my job involves a great deal of travel and I have older and special needs animals. As my family lives in the south, if I have to leave for a family emergency, the visit may be several weeks. Desiree always responds with, "Gotcha covered." In the years that I have used Petlover Petsitting, I have never had any concerns about leaving an animal, even one that is on medication or requires special care. If I need more food or an animal needs a trip to the vet, it is done. If there is a problem, I get a phone call. If she has a worry about an animal or there is a question, she calls. I have special knowledge in some areas and Desiree has always used me as a resource. I am sure she uses others, too. Desiree also takes care of me. I have had to leave at very early hours or suddenly. I get distracted and sometimes leave things in the middle of what I am doing. I have returned to find dishes washed, food put away, appliances turned off, etc. Even if I don't remember for days that I forgot something, Desiree has already taken care of it. She brings in the paper and the mail. She leaves lights on for my late arrival home so I won't be in the dark. She lets me know if they plowed the drive or not. She has repaired items I left broken! If I could just get her to have dinner waiting, it would be perfect! As for re-homing dogs, Desiree has done this for years. She posts pictures of animals who need a new home. I have been to her place and know she takes care of the animals. And, she is always looking for a home for someone. I do not hesitate to recommend Desiree to others.

The day after the surgery our dog started hemorrhaging and we took her to the Pet ER for a second life-saving surgery to stop the internal bleeding. We called the clinic the morning after the ER surgery to ask questions of Dr. Jen during business hours and received no phone call back to inquire about the condition of our dog, who had been a patient of Highland since she was a puppy. Emailed the clinic to request to specifically speak with the vet who performed the spay surgery and again, the vet won't call us to discuss the condition or my questions after the trauma of almost losing our dog. Vet tech called one WEEK later to check on our dog and left a voicemail. Disappointed is an understatement. Won't be going back.
