Where do I begin?? Getting hooked up with Four Paws Pet Sitting has been a life changing event, seriously! My husband and I have 5 dogs, 5 cats, 3 donkeys, 2 goats and chickens. Most of my animals are from rescues and some need some "extra" care. I have a dog that has protection aggression issues and we could not leave him in the hands of someone who doesn't know how to deal with a dog like this. Kennels are out of the question for us. My husband and I have not been able to take a week long vacation in about 10 years since are fur family expanded. A friend recommended Four Paws to me. We met Dan & Cindy once a week for several weeks before leaving on vacation to have them get familiar with my gang. I was impressed from the start with their presence with the dogs. Obviously, both had a lot of experience with all sorts of dogs and they were not intimidated by my "protector". 24 hours before we were suppose to leave on vacation, the airline called and changed our flight and we had to leave 3 hours earlier then planned. I didn't know what to do because that interrupted the morning feeding schedule. I texted Cindy and she immediately replied with "no problem' we'll be to your house at 6:30 AM. Wow, what a relief! While on vacation, both Dan & Cindy texted us photos and updates. If anything came up they weren't sure of they sent me a text (which is what I asked for - loved that they did it, instead of guessing). I could not be happier with their service and we already are going to book them for another trip we have to take for an out of town wedding (I thought that only one of us would be able to attend this wedding but not any more - yippee). These people LOVE animals and enjoy their jobs, it's apparent. When we got home, the house was left so clean that it didn't even look like someone lived there. I didn't expect that. I didn't think it was their job to clean before they left but I was very thankful. Believe me with 8 inside animals, our house is rarely without hair or dust bunnies. So as you can see, I have every reason to give a 5 star rating. I will be recommending them to all. Thanks Dan & Cindy and Four Paws. read more
