Knowing they're safe is the upmost important aspect of Ohilda's superb service!

It was awesome knowing they were with people who knew them and loved them. Our dog Charlie ran and jumped in the lake immediately! Happy as can be. A huge shoutout to Derrick! When our son was born 4 weeks early he went out of his way to pick our dogs up when we were stuck at the hospital. He truly loves the dogs and cares about the families. You can tell this is his passion and it shows through his work! Lastly, Anthony has been fantastic to work with throughout too! Due to him and Derrick we will continue bringing our dogs back here when we need boarding knowing they are in the BEST hands.

Unprofessional Bait-and-Switch - Beware - Everything you DON'T WANT in a pet sitter…read more I contacted Caroline at Ohh My Dog for in-home overnight care for my two senior, anxious dogs for a 12-day trip. She provided a full detailed quote for 12 nights of in-home pet sitting ($1,760) and encouraged me to pay a $20 fee for a meet-and-greet to "ensure the dates are set". As soon as I PAID the fee, the service she "offered" completely changed. Despite being explicitly told my dogs cannot board elsewhere due to anxiety issues, she pivoted and repeatedly pressured me to have them stay in her home. She then claimed she "only accepts one pet sitting client (in your home) a month" and eventually stated she doesn't do in-home sits longer than 7 days (despite quoting me for a 12-day in-home stay just days earlier)--crucial information she conveniently left out until after she had taken my money. Trying to schedule the paid "meet-and-greet" was a series of unprofessional excuses: * First Cancellation (Substitution): Caroline deferred the first meeting to her walker, Grace. I paid the fee to meet the person who would be staying in our home. Meeting a walker who Caroline herself admitted "can't help with walks or anything during the week" does not fulfill the professional requirement for a 12 night in-home sitter meet-and-greet. * Second Cancellation (The Yogurt): Caroline canceled our second in-person meeting the morning of, claiming food poisoning from yogurt that had been expired for two months. Yep--Yogurt. * The Reality: Then she asked me to bring the dogs to HER house for the meet-and-greet and AGAIN suggesting for the 12 night stay with my dogs be moved to her house, continuing to ignoring the need for my dogs to remain in their own environment. * The Virtual Dog Meet and Greet Inconsistency: She then tried to force a "virtual" meet-and-greet because she didn't want to make the 50-minute drive. I explained this is useless for in-home care, as a sitter cannot assess a home's layout, security, or a dog's specific behavioral needs through a screen. When I pointed out that I paid the fee with the understanding that she sitter would be visiting our home to evaluate the environment for the 12-night stay. Now it was also obvious that she could not fulfill the service I originally requested and paid to discuss, she refused to refund the fee and "terminated" our service, claiming the meeting with her walker counted as a finished job. This business will quote you for the service you want just to take your deposit, then provide only what is convenient for them. Extremely unprofessional, misleading and quite honestly LAZY (I won't get into "The Yogurt")...

From the owner: Hi there! I’m Sabrina — your trusted pet sitter and future favorite backup sitter! I’ve been raised…read morearound dogs my whole life, from tiny lap pups to big gentle giants, so I’m comfortable with all breeds and personalities. Since I was little, I’ve taken responsibility for feeding, walking, bathing, and grooming my pets — including my family’s shih-tzu, who I absolutely adore. I currently live at home with my parents, which gives me a great support system and plenty of flexibility to focus on your pet’s needs. We also have an older family dog, but my parents care for him while I’m with clients… though he definitely gives me a full sniff-down when I get home to see which furry friend I was “cheating” on him with. Alongside pet sitting, I’m also a Realtor. I’m newer in the field, but I’m supported by an amazing team at my brokerage, and my flexible schedule allows me to dedicate the time and attention your pet deserves. What sets me apart is my patience, affection, and genuine love for animals. I always work to make your pet feel safe, happy, and cared for. I treat every animal like my own and pride myself on being reliable, trustworthy, and respectful of your home — leaving it exactly as I found it or even a little better. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and videos so you always know how your pet is doing. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member and spoil them with love and attention!

We were searching for a new cat sitter after our second experience with a Rover pet sitter suddenly…read morenot showing up to check on our cats. We are SO fortunate to have found Richard from Catify My Home. It's not that often you hit the jackpot from a Google search, but we did with this one! Our cats Canvas and Ophelia love their uncle Richie! There isn't enough time to write how vastly different, and better, Richard is from your typical app cat sitter. Any previous cat sitter would stop in, scoop the litter box, refill the food, add water, hang out for 10 minutes and then leave. With Richard our cats get so much play hunting time and lots of affection. His drop ins are 90 minutes and this includes ensuring the dry food is full, cleaning the litter box, refilling the water bowls (which he also cleans), and vacuuming around the cat area. It doesn't just end there, he also brings our trash to the curb if he's cat sitting on a trash day, brings in our mail or any packages, vacuums the areas where he's playing with the cats, and I'm sure there's more I'm missing! We used to come back from time away and dread getting home because of the cat duties...cleaning up the scattered litter/food on the floor, washing water bowls, emptying the litter genie, etc. with Richard, all of that is done for us! We simply come back home to the happiest cats. He will send A TON of photos and videos to show updates. He truly loves cats and understands their behavior. He was even able to get our younger cat (who is skittish and typically hides from strangers) to start coming out and playing with him. Also...he is extremely reliable and doesn't treat cat sitting like a side hobby. Previous sitters wouldn't always send updates and a lot of time we would have to check in with them to see if they were still stopping by to check in. With Richard we know our cats will be well cared for. Every time we are away we tell each other how lucky we are to have found him. Catify My Home is simply the best!!

Under no circumstances would I recommend returning to this veterinary clinic…read more I acquired a puppy from a reputable breeder who arranged for me to meet her at this clinic with the puppy to obtain a health certificate. The veterinarian we consulted on that day was not one the breeder had previously encountered. The veterinarian informed me that she must be a new addition to the office because the veterinarian she typically sees is male. The veterinarian diagnosed the puppy with coccidia and prescribed a treatment course. Upon returning for the scheduled appointment today, the office staff informed me that the veterinarian had declined to examine the puppy. I was required to schedule a new appointment as a new patient and would need to return on a different day. Despite my explanation that this was a follow-up appointment for the health certificate, the office staff remained indifferent. They disregarded the fact that I reside more than an hour away from the clinic. Furthermore, they refused to examine the puppy despite the fact that the appointment had been scheduled by their office and I had confirmed it a few days prior, and the breeder had already paid over $150 to the veterinarian. In my opinion, the primary motivation behind this behavior was to capitalize on the additional fees associated with being a new patient. The clinic's primary concern appears to be financial gain, rather than the well-being of my puppy. I strongly advise against patronizing this establishment at all costs.

***update*** The…read moredoctor personally called me later that day, after everything had happened, to explain that there had been a miscommunication and that multiple emergencies had come in, even though we had an appointment. He sincerely apologized for not being able to see us, and that meant a lot to me. I do wish I had known about the issue beforehand, instead of having nothing explained to me at the time--but I understand. ***Issue*** I'm very disappointed with my recent experience at Animal Ark of Arcadia. Until now, I've always had fantastic service here, and I've never had a single issue. Unfortunately, that changed today. I received a call yesterday confirming that my cat's appointment was at 2:20 PM and my dog's was at 2:00 PM. Based on that, my daughter and I made specific plans: she took the dog to the 2:00 appointment, and I drove all the way from Northport to bring the cat for her 2:20 appointment. At 2:17 PM, I was notified that the cat's appointment had to be rescheduled. This was incredibly frustrating and inconvenient, especially after driving a long distance just to make it on time. The front office then claimed the cat's appointment was at 2:00 -- but both the appointment card and the voicemail message clearly said 2:20. I understand that mistakes happen, but this miscommunication caused unnecessary stress and wasted time. I hope Animal Ark of Arcadia takes this kind of feedback seriously and improves how they handle scheduling and confirmations in the future.
