We have had her and her employees watch our cats for the last 11 years. We can go on a relaxing vacation worry free knowing our fuzzy babies and house are in good hands. Michelle, aka Nanny Dolittle, is kind, friendly and professional. She is especially loving to our cats. It is clear upon our return that they have been well loved and cared for during our absence. On occasion she would walk our dog when we were gone for the day skiing. We also felt comfortable with the care she took with medical emergencies and the decisions she made in those events. We love the daily log that shows who came to visit and how the cats were doing. We also like that she sends photos via text to show they are happy. We would highly recommend her for your pet's needs!

Our dog Winnie loves her as one of his best friends. She also gives him socialization with other dogs. This has really helped him grow his friend community. Erica truly does build community. She also provides lots of walk photos and updates. She will call out if she has a concern or even if she sees something a crow may have carried into our yard. She does little extras for the dogs on holidays. She is magical and we are so lucky to have her in our life.

Steve and his team of trainers at Nitro K9 are the real deal. Both our young dogs have benefited…read morefrom Nitro's level 1 and 2 classes, and so it's very easy to recommend Nitro if you're looking for a trainer. It is worth acknowledging that Nitro makes use of prong and e-collars in their training method, and if you have concerns about these tools, I am happy to report there's nothing to be concerned about. I have witnessed my dog gaze up lovingly and with attention at Steve while under his guidance on a prong collar; you could feel the genuine connection between trainer and dog. This kind of experience was enough for me to put any concerns I had aside and welcome the training. It's also worth noting that Steve himself can be a bit of a personality, unafraid to speak his mind and get into a range of discussion topics. Underneath the personality is a genuine human, who wants nothing more than for dogs to receive the training that will most help them get along inside the home and the world. Thanks, Steve and Nitro K9 for your help with our dogs!

Finding Nitro K-9 was such a blessing. From the very beginning, Steve treated me with kindness, patience, and genuine understanding. He didn't just see my dog as another training project--he took the time to understand what I needed and how important my service dog is to my life. The difference in the quality of training, communication, and care has been incredible. I feel so much more confident knowing my dog is being trained by someone who truly cares about doing things the right way. I cannot say enough good things about Nitro K-9. Steve has restored my faith in finding people who are honest, compassionate, and genuinely invested in helping both the dog and the person. If you are looking for someone to trust with your service dog, I would recommend Nitro K-9 without hesitation. Steve is truly amazing! Thank you, Steve, for everything you have done for me and my boy. We are so grateful for you!

Carrie, owner of Feline Friends & Dog Walk Savvy has cared for my parent's dog Sadie many times…read moreover the last year. Carrie is extremely professional, trustworthy, and kind. It can be a gamble when giving someone access to your home. Asking that person to take care of your family (pets) brings it up a notch. Carrie immediately won my parents over (not an easy feat) with her bubbly personality and clear passion for animals. We use Carrie's services when my parents travel. I am the go-to overnight pet-sitter for them but due to my long, unpredictable work hours, Carrie will come over 1-2 times daily to walk and feed Sadie. Carrie does not charge extra when my dog Bentley is there and takes him along on walks. Each visit Carrie leaves an adorable note on the counter with a recap. My parents dog (Sadie) is extremely fearful due to an abusive past owner. Carrie has won her over with patience and treats. This note is one of my favorites from Carrie: Sadie did excellent on our walks!! She and Bentley were so happy to see me each time I came. In fact, they never even barked at me (Not even on my first visit). We had a few beautiful sunny days which the dogs loved. Twice we went to the park. It was such a pleasure walking Sadie (and Bentley). The three of us became good pals. She is a great dog! I hope you had a nice trip and I hope to see Sadie again soon. :) Thanks, Carrie I strongly recommend Carrie/Feline Friends & Dog Walk Savvy for your pets. Nothing but the best!

I had high hopes for Ray but will not be using him again. I provided him with notes regarding my…read morecat's care and resources. I set out all my plants that needed water on the main kitchen counter, along with a bottle to water them. I have smart devices and a few strategically placed indoor cameras (about which I made him aware), and when I was notified that the water level on the fountain was low I messaged him and asked him to refill it. He refilled it, but put it back on the stand and didn't even check to see if it was working. It wasn't. I was in a different country with a significant time change, so when I next checked my device notifications and camera I discovered my cat had no source of water. I contacted him immediately to make him aware of the issue, but as his visits were typically later in the day I reached out to a neighbor and asked them to go over and provide a bowl of water for my cat in the meantime. Thankfully she did, and she indicated my cat was very thirsty. Despite providing directions about the fountains and some additional prompting, Ray was unable to figure out how to work the fountain. I asked him to ensure that he left out a bowl of water for the cat, which he did. I have no idea if he actually saw the cat, or if he had any level of interaction with her on his visits. I didn't specifically ask him for this info or pictures prior to using him, but as all other cat sitters I had previously used did so without prompting, I (mistakenly) expected this. He also failed to water my plants and two of them died. This was minimal compared to leaving my cat without water, and not knowing whether or not he even saw her (other than one time he mentioned she came out to see him on one of his visits).

Under his care, my cat died…read more I'll never go into details about how my cat passed because no one should/needs to have that knowledge. However, it was due to Ray not physically getting his eyeballs on the cats every single day. Cats aren't house plants. You have to make sure they're not up to something. You don't just feed and water and leave. Especially when the cat mom leaves SEVEN PAGES of instructions on how they needed to be separated while they ate so that one could take his pill and if he didn't then you could use the pill popper provided to put it down his throat. But that's not what happened. I guess my notes were taken as suggestions. On the last day when the vet thinks he passed, I received a text from him saying: "Dear (me), Another uneventful visit. Your children are going to be so happy that you're back home. Left your FOB on the kitchen counter. - Ray." Nowhere in that text does it say I couldn't find them so I just left. I don't really know what else I can do at this point other than warn other pet owners. Yes, I know he didn't mean to have this happen but it did. And I think when it comes to your pets life so you shouldn't take any risks. This shouldn't have to happen to any other pet owner out there. I'm notifying all the organizations that he lists on his website too. He did refund fully and returned my key. He was also an incredibly nice person. That aside, nothing will bring my cat back but I pray this doesn't happen with anyone else.

After we left, they sent us photos and text messages multiple times a day with details about their activities with our pets. 4 days into the vacation, we started hearing from worried neighbors who heard our dog howling in apparent distress.

Piles of dog poo all over the house So much pee he had to remove our bedroom rug from the house completely Damage to windows from dog scratching to get out Dog's voice is hoarse, and she is very fearful We called Caroline and she claimed to be on her way back to our house. We told her about the conditions our friend had described and asked her to drop off the keys. Then she changes her story a bunch of times (she is at a nearby client's house; no, actually she's at home in Bothell) and ultimately says she can't get to our house that evening at all and will mail the keys. The exchange that followed included: Indignance: "How dare you accuse me!" Lying: "your dog has been going crazy and peeing on the floor for days!" (and you didn't think to mention that in your daily messages..?) Weird rambling emails, including a late night warning about a glitch in airline reservation systems A call to us from the Rover.com emergency line because Caroline had contacted them saying she was very worried about whether anyone was caring for our pets since we had fired her (thanks for your concern I guess??) She promised to mail back the two keys we provided but only sent 1, so we had to change the locks in addition to repairing damage to our home. Calling All Paws is now using photos of our pets alongside fake glowing reviews on their website.
