Recently moved to the Medford area from San Diego with our two dogs and cats. After planning a vacation, and not being familiar with any pet sitters in the area, we spoke to our Veterinarian who highly recommended Helping Hands Pet Services (a few of the staff members are also clients). We wanted as little stress for the dogs/cats as possible while we were away. On top of that, we'd never left the keys to our home with a virtual stranger, and wanted to know our home's security would be a priority. Needless to say, we were really serious about finding a caring, trustworthy pet sitter. We met with Karri and immediately loved her, but more importantly our animals really seemed to be crazy about her too, and one of our dogs doesn't like very many people - seriously, this was a real concern for us. Karri instantly won over everyone and put our minds at ease. We were gone for a week, and she took excellent care of the entire crew! She texted regular updates, sent pictures making us feel assured that everything was fine at home. When we returned everything was just as we left it, and while our pets were happy to see us return, I think they were more disappointed that Karri was gone! Karri was amazing and we will not hesitate to call her the next time we plan a vacation or need a pet sitter for the day! read more
