My new job requires a lot…read moreof travel, so the idea that I can leave my little dog at home where she's comfortable (and not a kennel) and have Brian walk her throughout the day is a very comforting feeling; and he is very accommodating to requests and needs; he is responsive to messages when I'm out of town and want updates, and he's always been willing to send pics of her so I can see how she's doing. He has a great feel for dogs and makes my little girl feel very loved. Definitely worth the investment!

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.

Pros: she showed up everyday, cost was reasonable. Cons:…read morewater was not refilled for two weeks, it seems that no / minimal attempt was made to find or play with the pet. 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.

The veterinarian, Dr. Rachel Williams, let my dog die…read more She sent him home while he was still actively struggling -- with blood and foam coming from his mouth, barely able to walk, dehydrated, and clearly not stable. She knew he was likely going to continue having seizures, yet instead of focusing on stabilizing him first, she immediately jumped to the worst-case scenario the moment she heard his age: "brain tumor." We had barely been in the building for 20 seconds before his history was dismissed. Nothing I told her about my dog seemed to matter. Before fully considering basic history, bloodwork, or less extreme possibilities, she was already preparing a treatment plan totaling nearly $9,000: MRI -- $4,000 Possible brain tumor surgery -- $5,000 At that point, my dog hadn't even been stabilized. The second I questioned whether there was any guarantee he would survive and asked if we could simply focus on stabilizing and monitoring him first, it felt like treatment stopped altogether. They disconnected his IV despite acknowledging he was dehydrated. That alone makes no sense to me -- hydration and stabilization are basic emergency care, and that's exactly why we came to the ER. When I asked if we could at least keep him overnight for monitoring, I was told, "It would still be $4,000." My dog left that ER in terrible condition, and they knew it. He still had blood and foam in his mouth. He could barely walk when we got home. Throughout the night, he struggled to breathe while stressed and suffering, and 12 hours later, my dog died right in front of my eyes. Maybe he had a brain tumor. Maybe he didn't. What I do know is that I was handed every possible worst-case scenario before anyone seemed willing to focus on the basics. I had to ask questions just to hear anything remotely positive. I had to ask about the bloodwork -- which I was told came back perfectly fine. I had to ask about the ultrasound -- which I was also told looked perfectly fine. We trusted this place. Looking back, I'm incredibly grateful I didn't leave him there overnight, because I truly believe he would have died there alone. It's heartbreaking to live in a world where money-driven protocols seem to come before compassionate patient care. My dog deserved better than this. . $800 to worsen my dog's condition. Please don't be fooled by this place and their great reviews. On the forefront, they are great, but you better have money. They have an agenda. At least Dr. Rachel Williams does. I am more than willing to speak to anyone on my experience. There is so much more to this story. I am so heartbroken over this, and so mad at myself for choosing this ER.

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!

SLDW's caregivers are so very reliable and patient with our very delicate (and nervous) chihuahuas. One thing I REALLY like about SLDW is that the same person visits each time--you know exactly who's coming and going in your home, whereas other companies may assign different people per schedule. My pups get to know their caregiver, get lots of love and attention, are fed correctly, cleaned up after, and I always receive photos and videos with each visit. All this has really allowed me to focus on whatever business may be at hand while away or to completely enjoy a vacation.

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.
