He has a great feel for dogs and makes my little girl feel very loved. Definitely worth the investment!

I never have to worry about whether or not someone will show up, I just work and wait for my photos and story of the days events to show up on my phone. The best part, I know they love on my fur babies just like I would if I was home. Hiring an independent contractor, you are not going to get this kind of customer service or consistency. They go above and beyond every time. I can update my schedule very easily, add a walk in case of an emergency and they send out holiday reminders if you need to cancel your walk!

At…read morethe shelter this cute little doggy seemed very well mannered, which she really is but little did we know that she has separation anxiety. She cried and scratched up the door pretty bad when we just went downstairs to do some laundry. Well long story short.....I needed to get back home (Hawaii) but I know my son and his new best friend, Daisy, would need some help. Of course, I look on Yelp. I see only 5 star reviews for Extended Arms. So, I called and spoke to Fern for about 30 mins. I was giving her the situation that we were in and she was giving us advice. I asked her if she could come over and speak to my son and show him some of her "tricks or hints" that could help Daisy with her anxiety. She was more than willing to help us. My son was very impressed on how thorough Fern was and how much time she spent with him and Daisy. Fern is very honest and open lady. She's been helping and taking care of fur babies for many years and she truly loves it....it really shows! Thanks again, Fern.

Normally when I leave for the weekend I come home to shredded toilet paper, things knocked over, and just general destruction... But with the love and attention from Fern and Carolyn I came home to no destruction and two very happy kitties! Fern sent me pictures and videos of my fur babies while I was away which was awesome. As well, she was very flexible with my schedule and even coordinated a key swap with my sister instead of me due to my schedule. I have never used a pet sitter before and I am so happy that I found Fern because my first experience with pet sitting was fabulous. I will definitely be using her services anytime I go out of town.

So I just want to say she is the most compassionate and caring person. If you're concerned about who's going to take care of your pet while you're out of town look no further. Always very professional, and courteous. Plus my animals just love her! It gives me such peace of mind when I go out of town, to know that my animals are going to be well taken care of and loved while I am away. She takes pictures of them every day at the conclusion of her walks or feedings.. and sends them to me b/c she knows that I am very anxious about being away from them. I just can't speak highly enough about her..anyway thanks so Daryn. You're like a part of our little family now.

I traveled internationally for two weeks and needed a pet sitter to care for my cat. I decided on Hailee because the cost was reasonable. Throughout the duration of my vacation I was routinely told that my cat could not be found. It seemed like little to no effort was made to find or play with my cat, luckily my family was able to visit and play with my cat using minimal effort. She filled up food but did not fill up the water in the two weeks leading me to believe that she was unreliable, however she did show up everyday and was able to bring in packages. I will not be using her services again in the future, I do not feel that I can trust her with my pet.

His normal place sent him a last minute email that they had accidentally overbooked and he would be waitlisted. By last minute, I mean 30 mins before we were going to leave and drop him off. In a panic, we found Country Acres, who was able to take him last minute. They are incredible kind and patient, despite us getting every piece of information wrong. We knew his pup was in good hands, because all of the handlers we met were so nice and understanding, and at pick up explained he had actually ran out of food in the morning and they supplemented. The facility is extremely well maintained, offers additional services to really make your furry family member feel at home or pampered.

This review is written by Daisy G., furbaby of Joan G. and her husband…read more I always get a little nervous when my parents pull up to The Watering Bowl. I know this means that they are going somewhere and I won't see them for awhile. Why does it always seem like five years! They bring my own bed and my own food. The best thing is that I get to play with the other furbabies during the day. I really get worn out and sometimes I even lose a little weight, which is good because sometimes I get a little chunky with Dad sneaking me food (don't tell Mom). They have training and grooming here also. The reason I only gave them four stars instead of five, is sometimes they call up my Mom and tell her that I ran out of food and then she gets charged extra for them to use their food. The last time we got home, Mom looked in my bag and saw two packages of my food in there. Another thing that Mom doesn't like is that when she calls, she doesn't know which Watering Bowl location the phone call will go to so sometimes they can't tell her how I'm doing. I hope my Mom and Dad keep using The Watering Bowl when they go on their trips. I really like it here.

I love knowing she's being taken care of all day while I'm at work, if I end up having to stay late, I can do so guilt-free. CONS: A lot of dogs just pee inside instead of waiting for outside time, so she comes home smelling like pee. They keep mops in the play area and have a little clean-up station in reception, but she still needs something a little more intense once we get home at night. Small price to pay for her being cared for and playing with friends all day at camp.

We get our Fromm's dog food here (yum!) and the baked treats are fantastic -- peanut butter, pumpkin, crunchy, soft... doesn't matter, we'll take one of each. We also love that our humans get to support a local business while spoiling us. It's a win-win: they feel good, and we get snacks.
