Lori recently took care of my cats and I'll definitely use her again, and I'd also highly recommend…read moreher (she services north Garland, Richardson, Murphy and Sachse). Odds are if you're on Yelp looking for reviews of pet sitters, you'd probably like how Lori handles client communication. Before I went out of town, I googled "Pet sitting Richardson" and she came up. I contacted her through her e-mail on the site and got a response the next morning. I submitted a few forms online (pet names, meds, vet, etc.), sent her my address, and she shows up. My point is that we didn't play phone tag for days. If you're trying to leave town, spending all day on the phone doesn't work, but Lori is great about arranging everything online. Oh yeah, this is supposed to be about her pet sitting. Before I leave she comes over and introduces herself . . . to my cats. I thought that was funny. She hangs out for a few minutes, figures out where everything is, learns a little bit about each cat, takes a key and agrees to come by when I'm gone. That's pretty much all there is to it. While I'm gone she e-mails me updates about each visit. Pet sitting for cats is rather straight-forward: "Cleaned litter box. Filled bowl. Petted them when they walked by. Then they slept again." But I think updates would be relevant for someone with elderly pets who needed meds, or for pets who needed keep vet appointments. I can see where daily updates on a high-maintenance dog would be important. FWIW, she has a huge SUV, so if she had to take you 200lb Mastif to the vet, she could. When I got back, cats were still alive, had full food bowls and clean litter. So, she covered all three elements of cat sitting. She left the key under the mat (which I suggested) and a few days later she e-mailed me a reasonable bill with the price she quoted. I now know all I need to do is e-mail her the dates I'm gone and ask her to come by Day 1, 2, 3, etc and my cats will be taken care of as well as if I were at home.

I cannot express enough good things about Kathlyn and her team. We have been using Sugars for a…read morecouple of years daily for dog walks and on the weekends for cat sitting. There are so many ways Kathlyn has gone above and beyond. Six months ago, we went out of the country, and had a cat get very sick while we were gone. He had to be euthanized. She took him to the hospital, and stayed with him the whole time. Now she is taking care of our horse too. She only has to go check on her once a week, but she has been going more frequently just because she cares and working with her!! I could go on and on, honestly. With Sugars Pet Sitting, you get more than just a pet service. You are getting a team that will love and care for your animals!! Hands down the best pet sitting company around.

This service is exceptional and an incredible bargain…read more I've browsed yelp for years and only left two reviews, and this is my honorable third! I've never left my cat Archie for a week long trip before, and I was worried about who could watch him. After seeing some reviews, Sugar's looked like a good bet - and... blackjack! Every time Kathlyn came, she sends a journal of what your pet was doing/what she did along with multiple photos. She also noticed I didn't have enough food to refill after the 5th day. When I told her where it was, she came back the next day to check on him (after checking with me) FREE OF CHARGE!! Can't hype Sugar's up enough. I'll be a return customer.

Called her and met with her, I could tell right away I'd found the right person. She came over three times a day, walked, and cared for my dog while we were away. Could not be happier with Erin's care of my dog. I truly felt like she loved my dog like he was one of her own. She texted me updates and pics every day. Put my mind at rest. I would highly recommend her. Will for sure use her again in the future. R.J. H.

If you're a pet owner, you know that choosing a boarding or daycare facility isn't just a…read moretransaction--it's a trust decision. My family has been bringing our dogs to Pet Paradise Premier in Plano for nearly 10 years. Over that time they've cared for three of our dogs: Lily, our brindle sweetheart; Nova, my brilliant Catahoula rescue; and now Blondie, our playful pit-husky mix. Blondie currently attends daycare two or three days a week and boards there when we travel. Overall we've had many good experiences. The dogs get exercise, socialization, and the staff clearly knows them well. But the real reason we remain loyal clients is Wendy Hudgins. Over the years there have been a couple situations where things didn't go exactly as expected. Those moments are when you find out what a business is really made of. Wendy has repeatedly stepped in with professionalism, calm leadership, and genuine care. She takes ownership, communicates openly, and clearly cares about the animals and the families who trust them to Pet Paradise. There were times she even proactively called to let us know about something happening so we were never left wondering. That kind of accountability and transparency matters. To be very honest: if Wendy wasn't part of the team, we probably would have moved on. She is an incredible asset to Pet Paradise and exactly the kind of person you hope is looking after your dog. Thank you to the team--and especially to Wendy--for helping take care of some of the most important members of our family.

Mia needs daily medications and subcutaneous fluids, and Ann is able to administer them all perfectly. Because she's older, I tend to worry, and Ann sends me text messages and pictures so I know she's okay. This really helps me feel more comfortable and gives me peace of mind. When I get home, I can always tell by her coat that she's been well taken care of and had plenty of affection (she stops grooming when she's stressed and her coat shows it, but when Ann comes she's always super soft). I love reading the notes Ann writes each day about their adventures and conversations. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs their furbabies taken care of!

Every member of the staff that I have met was friendly knowledgeable, and cared genuinely about the experience for both my pup and for us. Communications has been excellent. Our dog Blondie looks forward to going 2 to 4 days per week. She always comes home tired which is what we would expect. The facility is excellent and gets better every day. They are constantly improving but, I'm impressed by the diversity of the engagement that the dogs have. They have group play in a room or they can go outside and there's a splash pad which apparently is a big hit. Maybe it's a pool I don't know but it's shallow and the dogs get wet and enjoy it. The staff members we have watched interact with not just our dog, but also with the entire group is a whole and they have always been actively engaged and moving the entire time. We're not talking about a minute or two at a time, they are constantly moving and constantly engaged. It's actually very impressive. I have to call out Omar who did a very difficult nail trim on our pitsky (pit bull - Husky) as the quick of her nail comes out fairly far. It is the best nail trim. She has had to date. No problems whatsoever and he said it was easy. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND and wholeheartedly endorse The Dog Stop - Plano as a safe and wonderful place to take your pet for play and grooming. We have not tried the other services but probably will soon.
