Even though I was not able to use their services, due to my bad timing with the owner's vacation plans, she was absolutely a life saver in calling me right back and giving an excellent recommendation to another local boarding facility which we ended up using. I was on the spot with my previous boarder falling through at the last minute, so this was a really big deal. Thank you. When I am again in the area, I will be sure to look these folks up for any needed boarding. read more

We have used this company two years in a row, for four separate evenings of dog sitting at Ashland area hotels. They have been communicative, prompt, friendly, and our dog has been happy to see them on the return trip both times. read more

It's about time I wrote a review for First Class Pet Care.  I have been using their services for many years.  I travel to Central California from Ashland almost monthly to care for a family member.  The ONLY reason I can do this without stress is because of the excellent and loving care my kids (poodle & kitty) receive from both Sheila and Colleen!  Colleen stays overnight and I know all is well when, upon arriving home, my high-strung Harriett is calm and happy.  I also know that in an urgent or emergent situation, they both have the compassion and skill to handle whatever it is.  I often receive update texts or a photo which really makes me relax and let go of any worries.  So grateful for First Class Pet Care! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Colleen and her pet sitting Services. I moved to Ashland a year ago with my senior lab, Maddy and she has been a Godsend! I own a local business and work long hours, knowing she is looking in on my girl while I am at work is invaluable. She is the most dependable, thoughtful, responsible dog sitter I have ever had. She is flexible and able to accommodate my requests for extra visits on days when I am working late or my dog is unwell. She texts me updates on those days so that I know how Maddy is doing. I truly don't know what I would do without her. read more

Colleen, one of the two owners, spent 17 hours with our two greyhound girls while we dined, went to amazing plays, and explored Ashland for four days. She was very attentive, and the dogs felt very comfortable with her. I highly recommend First Class Pet Care when in Ashland. This has been a very good experience for us with Colleen, and I recommend her and her company highly. We were able to relax knowing that our doggies were being taken great care of! Thank you again! read more

We were relatively new to the Ashland Oregon area and needed a pet sitter for a month while we were out of the country. I researched the internet and was impressed by First Class Pet Care's website. Colleen Malloy, the owner, came for a consultation and our unfriendly cats took to her right away. She is certified in animal care and first aid. A warm and caring person, I was confident Colleen would take good care of our "girls". The old cat had some litter box issues for the first time (probably due to our being gone), but Colleen took care of the problem like the pro she is. We have subsequently used her several times and she does a great job of taking care of the furry girls and things around the house (garbage to the curb, collecting mail, watering plants). The piece of mind Colleen brings to our lives when we travel is incredible. The last time we used her for a week, and I didn't check in once! That is no small feat for me. I knew Colleen would let us know of any issues. Will most certainly continue to use her when we travel. read more

Before our three-day stay in Ashland, we asked the concierge at the Ashland Springs Hotel for a pet sitter recommendation. What great good luck -- we met Sheila, and our skittish rescue pup found a new friend! Sheila's gentle presence and ease let our dog find her way to trust. Usually, our dog seems hesitant with people she doesn't know well. By the time our third night's visit rolled around, our dog was excited and happy to see Sheila. Thank you, Sheila, for your wonderful care. We hope to see you again! read more

Sheila sat with my Boxer in our Ashland Springs Hotel room while we dined and saw plays at the Shakespeare festival for 2 consecutive nights. Coco was thrilled to see her the second night. She walked her and played with her in our room. Fabulous service!! read more

We blindly chose First Class Pet Care based on what the hotel, where we would stay, recommended. $15/HR, minimum three hours. Not happy about that! Well Julie V. was assigned to us. I feared we'd be paired up with a teenager or young 20-something. Nope! She could have been my mom but dog experienced and listened. She was caring and genuinely involved. After a quick introduction, we were off to the Play. After the hotel door closed, I heard her being happy and talking to our grrls. Three hours later they were happy to see me and then eager to sleep! They kissed (rare) her when she hugged them. I'm blissfully happy! She and I will be keeping in touch! She's worth the fat tip!!! Ask for Julie V., she's worth her love in gold!!! read more

Colleen took very good care of my 13 year old chihuahua while I was away for a week. She came by three times a day, fed, walked, and played with him. She even sends photos everyday for the particularly over-protective pet owners like myself. Colleen is a wonderful alternative to boarding your pet. He/she can stay in a familiar environment with familiar smells and all of their toys instead of being subjected to the unfamiliar and loud cages at pet "hotels/resorts." I highly recommend Colleen the next time you have to leave somewhere and can't take your pooch or cat with you! read more

My husband and I (and particularly our dog) love Colleen. Our dog has some behavioural issues, and Colleen has always understood his personality and has never had any problems with him. I truly never worry about our pet when Colleen is caring for him. She is thorough, professional and reliable, and a great lover of animals. I know that our dog has a special relationship with her, and that Colleen's care for him has contributed to his positive growth in many ways. We have used Colleen for many overnights and also day time visits, and we have total confidence and trust in her care for our beloved creatures (we have a cow as well as a dog!!). I could not recommend Colleen, and First Class Pet Care, highly enough and am so grateful that she is here and a part of our community. read more

Not sure this business is even open anymore. I have left voicemail and emails trying to find a pet sitter but no response. It's been several days. Too bad cause this area doesn't have any other options. read more

No need to look further, you've found the BEST care for your beloved pawed family member(s) in First Class Pet Care. Since moving to the Applegate Valley in 2009, we've needed Colleen Malloy's services for overnight pet-sitting at least a dozen different occasions from anywhere to 2 nights to 19 nights. We, my husband and I and our dog and cat, consider Colleen family. Her personality is warm and nurturing and our "kids" love her, as do we. It's hard enough to leave the kids behind when we travel, but knowing Colleen is with them alleviates ALL guilt, concern and worry, and I know we are missing them more than they us with her exceptional care. Colleen is extremely reliable, trustworthy, and professional and I highly recommend her for your pet-sitting, pet-care needs. read more

Contacted Colleen a couple of months prior to see if they could watch our 5 month old Havenese, Zoey. Julie came to our hotel room on two consecutive evenings to allow us to go to dinner and a play. There was an immediate connection between Zoey and Julie! She walked her in the evenings and took excellent care of our high energy puppy. We will certainly use Colleen's services the next time we stay in Ashland (this is an annual event for us) read more

I emailed Colleen to book someone to watch our dog while we went to dinner and a play at OSF. Colleen replied quickly and confirmed Sheila would be available to watch our dog. Sheila showed up on time to our hotel, and watched and walked our dog while we were out. It was such a relief to have someone with our dog at the hotel - we were able to enjoy dinner and the play without worries. I highly recommend this service. read more

As a Veterinary professional for 40 years (Certified Veterinary Technician), I think very highly of Colleen and the services she provides. She is caring, compassionate and always reliable. I have a very busy schedule caring for animals, and she helps me care for my 2 dogs. I would not hesitate to recommend Colleen should anyone contact me for a reference. Anyone reading this post can feel free to do just that! read more

First Class Pet Care IS A CLASS ACT!!! Colleen runs the show there and runs a very professional, customer (both 4 legged and two legged :)) service oriented operation. I have often left my animals in their care and I know that they are being extremely well cared for with the utmost skill, heart and compassion. It says a lot when I can rest well away from home knowing that my furry loved ones are being loved and are happy. Sometimes I think they didn't even know I was gone!!! Colleen is quick to respond and knows how to get the job done! I highly recommend Colleen and the folks at First Class Pet Care. read more

Colleen walks our dog Marty five days a week as well as taking care of him and our two cats when we travel. She's awesome - dependable, great with animals, responsible - all around great person. Colleen made it possible for us to be gone for two weeks over Christmas and New Years without any worries. Highly recommended!! read more
