We recently decided to try a pet sitting service for our cat when we went out of town. The first…read moretwo times we used The Right Fluff Pet Sitting Service I felt things went well because it was one person who were coming into my home to care for my cat. However, the second time it was a little less consistent with the caretaker - who was not either person scheduled the first two times we used the service. This most recent time, during a 9 day service, 5 different people were assigned to come into my home to care for my cat. When I asked about this, Marcy said they use a team approach and clients need to be aware that they can make changes at any time to the service provider. When I asked if I could receive communication ahead of time about these changes, she stated that I was not a good fit for their service and they would no longer accept service requests from me. Mainly because I asked for communication about who is going to be coming into my home. That is very unprofessional to not be willing to communicate with a client about the service provider who will be caring for your pet and coming into your home. This company assumes that every client would allow several different people whom they have never met into their home without clear communication about this plan or the providers. And if you ask for advance notice for communication, you are rejected from their service. USE THIS COMPANY WITH EXTREME CAUTION if you are concerned about the people who enter you home and if you like to have open communication with your provider. ADDENDUM: I am writing this after reading Marcy's response to my initial review- I was informed prior to our trip that there would be one individual providing service while we were out of town. While we were out of town, I began to receive feedback from several different service providers about the care they provided for my cat-- BUT- without any communication from Marcy or anyone at the company. Upon our return I asked about this because I was expecting one provider and she said that our provider had an emergency so that she found different people to cover. What I said-- and I do not believe there any attitude to this response- was that she or someone should have contacted me to inform me that there was an emergency/change of plans. I never met any of the individuals who came into my house - was not even told that this was an option prior to signing up with this service. My issue with this was the communication between Marcy and ourselves about the provider for our cat's care. And when I asked if communication would be able to occur in a situation like this if we use their service again, she said we were not a good fit and would not accept any service requests. I cannot imagine any person not wanting to know who was entering their home and to be informed when someone unexpected was going to be entering their home. Again- I urge EXTREME CAUTION in using this company if you would like to have good communication and if you would like to know who is entering your home when you are out of town.

I would give Eric, Nick, and Walk Play Love 10 stars if I could. When I finally needed a dogwalker…read morefor my aging dog this past summer, I contacted several local services. Eric was responsive over email, prompt in setting up an appointment to meet my dog Winnie, and asked all the right questions. Their intake form is thorough and Eric really listens to what you want. They also have quite reasonable prices. Win and I were lucky enough to be paired with Nick...my dog is fan of men, so she was always her best self when he stopped by. Nick never missed a walk, always showed up during the allotted time, and sent me pics of my dog enjoying the outdoors while I was stuck at with. He always locked up after himself and set the alarm, and left Win with fresh water. If I happened to be home, Nick was pleasant and cheerful when we greeted each other. If that wasn't great enough, in the last couple of months my dog has been struggling to walk. Nick gave her shorter walks, more time to sniff, more pats, and, as things got worse, even carried her up multiple flights of stairs when she couldn't do it herself. He really went above and beyond for Winnie. Like, so far beyond. I am incredibly grateful for the care he took with her. I will absolutely use Eric and his crew in the future. I would completely and utterly recommend them with your pup.

If you need someone who you can trust to take care of your pup, look no further than Walk Play Love. They truly want what's best for the pups and understand the lengths we take to ensure they are happy and well cared for just like their own. Thank you so much!

On Saturday afternoon, I desperately starting looking for a pet sitter and ofcourse I started my search on yelp. I noticed that the pet nanny had really good reviews so I decided to contact her and left her a voicemail. She immediately returned my call, and we decided to meet on Sunday. When I met Dale on Sunday, my pets immediately warmed up to her (good sign)! She was ready to start walking my dog every day starting Monday. I went thru no hassle, she made my life SOOOOO EASY. Dale started coming every day, and would leave me with long notes (A REPORT CARD ON MY DOG & CAT) telling me all about my pets and what the visit entailed. She took photos of my dog everyday, and printed it on the report card itself... IT WAS SOOOOO CUTE. Dale is amazing. One time she had an accident which caused her face to swell up and she needed stitches. I told Dale that she should rest and not come but she insisted to come and walk my dog. Dale loves what she does and treats my dog like her own. She barely ever cancels, and if she does, she makes arrangements. Dale, the pet nanny is awesome!

Three years ago I raved about Olde Towne Pet Resort to every dog owner I knew. Now I wouldn't board…read morea houseplant here. Great to horrible, entirely self-inflicted. Every booking, every pet, every time: more signatures and "agreements" than a mortgage closing. Somewhere there's a lawyer who's never met a dog and decided the real threat to this business is the guy who's paid them loyally for three years. You carefully fill out the entire grooming form online, pick every option -- then show up and they shove a paper copy across the counter to sign the exact same thing again. And after all that paperwork, they still claim they don't have the phone number they've had on file for three years and called me on before. Let's put this in perspective. I can order dinner to my door in two taps -- Reorder, Apple Pay, done. A stranger drives hot food across town on the strength of my thumbprint. But dropping off dogs these people have known for three years apparently requires a signing ceremony and a fresh liability waiver every single visit. In 2026, that's not caution. That's a business that's forgotten how to trust its own customers. And then there's the membership -- the crown jewel of contempt. They took a system that worked and actively torched it. Gone are the daycare credit packs: fair, flexible, buy-what-you-need, the way a business treats people it respects. In their place, a pricier monthly "membership" that auto-drafts your card whether your dog walks through the door or not, with no rollover for the days you paid for and never used. Read that again: you pay, they keep it, your dog gets nothing, and they call it a perk. It's not a membership -- it's a standing withdrawal from your bank account with a bow on it. It punishes the exact people who kept this place in business: the regulars whose lives don't run on a fixed weekly schedule. Some months my dogs come once, some months five times, because that's how actual life works -- and this program is built to make sure I lose either way. It doesn't serve pets. It doesn't serve owners. It serves a spreadsheet, and it treats every loyal customer as a recurring charge to be maximized rather than a person to be valued. It is, top to bottom, the most openly hostile "loyalty" scheme I've ever been asked to fund. When customers spend more time signing forms and fighting your billing than petting their dogs, you're not a pet resort -- you're a law firm with a kennel attached. Take your pets somewhere that still remembers what the word "customer" means.
