I had rotator cuff (shoulder) surgery last August, and realized I would be unable to walk Zippy, my…read more80-pound juvenile delinquent Labradoodle, for a few months. In addition to his size and strength, Zippy is extremely reactive, thus very difficult to control, when he encounters other dogs during walks. I advertised for dog walkers on Nextdoor and received a few responses from kids and other dog lovers. When Jack Feldmann the owner of Your Pet's Best Friend reached out to me, it was immediately apparent that he is a professional -- the real deal. He and his associate, Kevin Wilson, were totally unfazed by Zippy's size and potential for problems. Both developed great relationships with our monster dog and managed him beautifully. Fortunately, I'm again able to walk Zippy, but I will certainly call Your Pet's Best Friend anytime our circumstances require support with Zippy. If you live in the Wilmington area, I highly recommend their services. Jack's number is (302) 379-5501.

When I reached out to Jack he suggested we meet up prior to my needing his services to meet my pup so they could get to know one another before the trip. When I left him with Jack during my vacation, I received a pic of my baby as well as daily updates on his well-being. He told me how he was eating, his many walks and his temperament while being in a different home that he was not used to. This was really a relief to me as I didn't have to worry that my pup was being taken care of in a knowledgeable, calm atmosphere. I will definitely use Jack again for any future pet sitting vacations that I will need. He is the best! G

I just love her and my Katie-Girl loved her more. Jen is one of the most responsible, reliable, and detail-oriented walkers I have ever met. If there is something u want her to do during the walk, u had better believe she WILL see to it that it is done. Jen is also highly Covid oriented, showing up masked AND gloved. She is immaculate, herself, and will be meticulously organized with ur belongings and in carrying out any directives. Jen has been dubbed by me "The Princess of all Dog Walkers" and my heart is only made heavier by the loss of my sweet dog, Katie, knowing that I will have to give up the services of this golden treasure, Jennifer! (Miss and love u, Jen!)

Terry has provided us with so much more than just that. She gave us comfort and peace of mind. We did weekly daycare visits leading up to our trip so that my dog could get to know Terry and get comfortable with her. This helped so much with her anxiety. When it came time for our trip I knew that my dog was in good hands and that she would feel comfortable and safe with Terry. Terry took care of her, like she was her own and sent me daily updates letting me know how she was doing, which I loved. I will definitely continue to use Terry's services and recommend her to everyone!

Firstly, I'd like to note that I'm currently blocked from leaving a FB review on the For the Love…read moreof Dogs LLC Facebook page. My wife, and I hired FLD from Wed Nov 13th in the evening, to Friday evening to provide 6 60-minute visits for our 2 dogs. We have strict rules for our pets that were quite clearly illustrated, most notably that our dogs are to stay in our large kitchen area when nobody is home so that they don't get into things around the house. When we arrived home we had found: 1.) Main door unlocked. 2.) Kitchen door (sunroom connects the main door, and kitchen area) ajar. 3.) The gate in the kitchen wide open, and our critters running around the house. Over the course of the day they had knocked over electronics, candles, and made a mess (#1 & #2) in our piano room. After a 3+ hour drive back from Washington DC, it was not a great look for us to have to Bona 3 rooms because of an error on our sitters part. I wish I could say that that was our only complaint, on a whim we decided to check the logs for our security system to see when our sitter had last been there, and we were shocked to learn: 1.) Out of 6 60-minute visits, he only came 4 times. 2.) Not a single visit lasted an hour, one lasted 45 minutes, and the remaining 3 averaged 30 minutes. This is absolutely unacceptable. I hope that nobody else will ever have to come home to a completely unsecured home after hiring this company. It's blatantly irresponsible, and there needs to be a better system for vetting sitters, and their actions while in a persons home. For our trouble were were refunded $99 out of $168. I believe that we deserve a full refund, not a single service that we hired this company for was properly rendered. This is not acceptable.

Thanks again!

I like getting a little report card on how things went, and they were very well cared for. (My bf was periodically checking in too and said everything was fine with food and water.) not only that but she did a fantastic job with the litterboxes and redoing the newspapers, which I really appreciate. Finally FG has the most reasonable rates for cat sitting in the area. considering my cats are seniors and all they do is sleep, it's not hard to check on them (I mean, it's less work than walking a dog and pooper scooping) so paying at least $20/day for two sleeping/hiding cats seems pretty exorbitant. Thanks ladies!

Heather is an absolute dream to work with! She was the pet sitter for our dog at our wedding, and…read morewe could not have been happier with her services. Heather was very hands-on and on top of everything. She came and did an initial meet and greet with our dog in our home and ran through all of the details. She was very organized, punctual, and easy to work with. On our wedding day, Heather picked our dog up and brought her to the pre-wedding pictures, sat with her through the ceremony, and even stayed around after so we could see her and say bye before she took her back home. Our dog is a bit anxious, and Heather was able to calm her down and keep her at ease throughout the entire day. We felt fully comfortable leaving her in Heather's hands, you can really tell she loves and cares about dogs. We would highly recommend Heather's services to any pet owners!

Steph, Maureen and Jenn were wonderful- I had never used a formal pet sitting service before and…read morewas very nervous about being gone for ten days when our normal petsitter cancelled due to unexpected surgery. Two of our three cats have special needs - one a 17 year old cat on special kidney diet, and one on a high-fiber diet and Miralax - so I was really worried. Especially since the third cat will happily eat EVERYTHING while the first two shouldn't eat each other's food. The daily reports and photos were a continual reassurance and when I expressed concern about one cat's behavior that day (Hiding under the bed...something he NEVER does unless ill) they immediately quarantined him and made sure he was getting all of his food and medicine without the other cats interfering - they even moved his cat tower into the bedroom because they noticed he normally slept on it and wanted him comfortable in his solitary confinement. Problem solved, they put everything back and let the cat back out when he showed signs he was ok. They even brought in some packages that were unexpectedly delivered in our absence. I can't recommend them highly enough.
