If you read nothing else, read this text exchange where Renee LIES about having been at our house and having cared for our pets. Imagine being outside of the country and having this exchange. -- ME: We havent received an update and we are worried because it seems they are being left alone more than 4 hours RENEE: Afternoon, I do apologize. I typed this up and forgot to send it. Pups are doing good and kitties come around here and there. [3 pictures attached] ME: When are these pictures from? RENEE: They are from today. I fed the kitties at 11. And took [elderly blind dog] outside. I also brought the packages in. ME: The door lock says nobody has been there since 8am ME: And the security camera RENEE: I do apologize those are from yesterday. ME: My poor babies, I cannot believe this is happening -- This was at 2:15pm Tucson time (late night in Ireland). Renee had left our home at 8am and nobody had been there since, and further she wasn't going to go there right away. We were told 3pm, which didn't happen. We called Arlene again. Renee finally got there around 3:30pm which means our pets were alone for 7.5 hours. We had contracted for so-called 24-hour service which meant someone would be at the house all night with only a six-hour gap per day. We had requested the six hours to be broken up so that the animals would not be alone more than 4 hours at a time. How long would they have been alone if we didn't catch Renee in her lies? Throughout this nightmare, the owner Arlene seemed unconcerned that her pet sitter was lying. She couldn't find a single person in her supposed roster of pet sitters to take over from Renee. She didn't offer to go herself until I angrily suggested that she do so if Renee continued to make excuses not to get back to the house. Arlene kept telling us to try to enjoy our trip as if the problem we were calling her repeatedly about was our inability to try hard enough to do so. She also kept repeatedly telling us in a cheerful tone that this has never happened before like that were relevant to our ongoing distress. She even interrupted my husband to try to chit-chat about how she wanted to visit Ireland! We were so distressed at Renee lying about caring for our pets and Arlene's lack of appropriate response that we contacted our regular sitter who was back from her trip and told Renee to leave that night. Nothing could have prepared us for what we found when we got home. Thank god our animals were OK. But Renee had not been checking the automatic cat box, which had jammed. Having few choices, the cats chose my antique chair, which was ruined. The most bizarre scene was our backyard. Renee had removed one of my shovels from our workshop and taken it upon herself to scrape up all of the topsoil into enormous piles that our blind dog had to navigate. We only asked her to water our plants which should have taken 10 minutes a day. Not to spend hours NOT WATCHING OUR BABIES and instead doing what must have been hours of manual labor tearing up the soil I've been building. Nor did I ask her to hack away at my fairy duster bush that the hummingbirds loved like some kind of maniac. She also rearranged some of my personal belongings. The floors were caked with dried pee from neglecting our dog. Renee is a person without a shred of common sense and no moral compass. Arlene has no idea how to manage people or a business caring for pets. One star is obviously too good! Forgetting all the other insanity, anyone who LIES about taking care of an animal, especially an elderly blind one, should never be allowed to pet sit ever again in their lifetime. As far as we know Renee is still employed by Arlene who was "very sorry for the inconvenience."

After our initial meeting with our sitter Lisa, she has been able to make last minute accommodations when our work schedule fluctuates - and of course our pups love her!

I would highly recommend to busy families who want peace of mind for their pets while they're away for vacation or work.

As others have mentioned, she takes detailed notes about each pet so she and her team can insure the best care. When we started with Four Footed Fitness, we had 3 senior cats and scheduled two 30 minute visits each day. We've stayed with this schedule, even though we now have younger cats. The team is great! They open shades when they come in the morning and take care of feeding, freshening water, and play time. In the evening, they clean the litter box, take care of feeding, and play with the cats. They also bring in the mail, close the shades, take out trash, and check the fountain outside - adding water, if needed. We get photos and a message from both the morning and evening visits each day. The team also checks in to make sure we arrived home at the scheduled time. It's nice to know that they have our cats covered if we're delayed for any reason! We highly recommend Glenda and her team.

We tried another pet sitting service before Glenda and her team and we weren't satisfied. After scouring reviews, we decided to give Four Footed Fitness a try. And we are so glad we did! Glenda set up an appointment to meet us and our fur babies and was extra thorough when taking notes about each of their personalities and preferences. Everyday we are away we get photo and text updates and always get a sweet handwritten note on return. We also love the ability to schedule, pay and update information about our cats online! Thank you for always taking amazing care of our kitties, Glenda!!

I've been using Kritter Sitters since 2023, and I honestly don't know what I would do without them!…read moreWhen I first had to leave for over a week to go back east, I went through so many interviews with potential sitters--but my little dog, Tillie, only approved of Katie. That sealed the deal for me, and I couldn't be happier with the choice. Katie is professional, reliable, and incredibly kind. Before each trip, she comes by to re-acquaint herself with my little pack and give Tillie a chance to get comfortable with her again. That thoughtfulness goes a long way in easing both my worries and my pup's. At one point, I also had a dog with a lot of medical issues, and Katie handled everything with such calm confidence and care--it never phased her. I'm beyond grateful to Katie and her team for giving me the peace of mind to travel and visit family without stressing about my fur babies. If you're looking for trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable pet care, I can't recommend Kritter Sitters enough. They are truly the best!
