There's nothing more terrifying than having to find a new pet sitter. So I am unbelievably lucky…read morethat I came across Fat Cat Pet Sitters. I have an older cat who was taken care of by close friends when we traveled. But when they had their third child, we didn't want to saddle them with our cat. And our cat's terror of vets made boarding out of the question. We saw the ad for Fat Cat in the local village newsletter, interviewed her over the phone and had our new sitter. That was a few years ago now and we could not be happier. Now, even if we're only away for a weekend, we'll have her stop by, and when we get home - short trip or long - our cat is so much more relaxed and we're forgiven for our abandonment much more quickly. Unless you have a cat, you can't really appreciate the power of feline disdain. Of kitty contempt. Having a pet sitter we can trust utterly, who spends time hanging with our senior pet, and who definitely makes a difference we can see when we get home is priceless. And as that goes, price-wise, I'm paying on par with what I paid before I moved here, which is more than reasonable. Don't settle for someone who doesn't come with a pet sitting pedigree: The woman who runs - who is - Fat Cat is insured, she has a long history in the same business in my area, and she has a network of long time sitters she works with for coverage if she's unavailable for any part of our sitting term. And it's rare that she's ever unavailable. In all the years we've worked with Fat Cat, that's only happened once, and the woman who covered did an equally great job with our pet, and she had an equally strong reputation and history. When you're giving someone responsibility for you pet AND access to your home while you're away, trust is the most important factor. Despite being anxious people, we have no reservations about Fat Cat Pet Sitters and only the highest praise.

I got incredibly lucky with Meryl and Fat Cat Pet Sitters. Husband and I were going on a 15 day…read morevacation trip across the Atlantic and the notion of leaving my kitties behind made me feel restless and incredibly uneasy. I wasn't sure what to do. When I found Fat Cat Pet Sitters (pretty close to me) and spoke to Meryl, I just knew I found someone who will look after my furbabies. We talked few times on the phone, arranged a meeting, she came over and we were able to discuss everything and anything. While we were away, she would message me every two, three days about the cats (I have 3), just to let me know what they've been up to, she'll send you photos, bring mail in, play with them little. I was truly able to enjoy my trip knowing she was looking after them. I will be using Meryl in the future when we travel again. You can just tell she loves cats and they love her back :)

Jason has been our dog walker-extraordinare for over a year since we got our fur baby Parker. I…read moreknew I liked Jason since the first time he came by to interview and his love for animals was flowing out of him. It makes it much easier to trust someone with your animal and know you're leaving them in good hands when you see how much they love animals. We don't get to use Jason as much as Parker would like since our work schedule has become much more flexible. Jason has ALWAYS been available even when I have asked him to come by the same day. He is flexible, friendly, and always sends lots of pics of his visits which is much appreciated. We have never had any problems and he always, always locks up and keeps our pets safe while he is here. The icing on the vegan cake is that he is licensed and insured too!

Kristen responds to questions and requests promptly and professionally. Unlike with our previous sitter, the dogs seem extremely happy and stress free when we get home. Kristen, Tracy and Lois made a great impression from the initial interview and continue to impress us with their care and concern for our dogs. It is truly a relief to know our dogs are being taken care with love and attention while we are gone.

Enough good can not be said about Tail Waggin' Pet Services…read more Recently, I had to go out of town, and did not want to put my four-pawed children in a Puppy Prison, so I looked around and decided to hire Tail Waggin' to pet sit my kids. From the first meeting, where Kristen came to meet the dogs, I knew I had found someone who would care about my dogs as much as I do. One of my dogs really does like anyone but me. Kristen took her time, and I think spent extra time to get to know her. I received daily emails with pictures of how they were doing, which no Puppy Prison has ever done for me. When I got home, I saw how well they were, and looked happy and healthy as when I left them. When Kristen came to drop off my keys, my kids were excited to see her, so I knew right then, when I need a pet sitter, or pet walker, I know you to call, and you should too.

We absolutely LOVE Bark Avenue Daycamp! We've been bringing…read moreour dog, Heath, here for the past two years since he was about nine months old and we couldn't be happier with the care he's received. As Heath got older, he started having some reactive issues with certain dogs. Instead of turning us away, the team went above and beyond to work with us. They tried different programs and truly took the time to understand what he needed. Eventually, we found the perfect fit with their solo play option, where he gets one-on-one time with staff throughout the day and he is thriving! It means so much to us that they didn't give up on him and instead created a solution that works for everyone. My company is actually moving in the opposite direction, which means a longer drive for us but there's no question we'll continue bringing Heath here. That's how much we trust and appreciate this team. Every single staff member is amazing, caring, and dedicated. We are so grateful for everything they do!

I have noticed the receptionist can sometimes be rude at times and wish their technology was more up to date-but when it comes to caring for my dog, there aren't people who are more compassionate and professional then Heartland. Dr. Hart called me constistantly to follow up on my dog's issues and will help you whenever you need, it is like a local family place then an in-and-out vet hospital. Sure, there are other places who might be bigger, more doctors and times available, but you get the one-on-one experience of knowing you and your pet every single time and will do anything to help and care for them.
