From day one, Kelly has been warm, attentive, and so communicative -- the photo updates she sends always bring a huge smile to our faces and help us feel connected to our pup even while we're gone. She's extremely responsible, and we feel completely at ease having her in our home and caring for our dog. As someone who is very particular about who we let into our home and trust with our fur baby, I can honestly say Kelly has exceeded every expectation. Knowing we have someone we fully trust makes future travel so much easier. We're so grateful for her! We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate sitter -- she's truly the best.

I immediately thought of Kathy because of her trusting spirit. I did have some concern how my dog (Meika) would take to someone walking her without me. I was very relieved when Meika responded so well to Kathy. I can highly recommend Kathy to anyone who wants the best care for their animals. Kathy is very prompt, caring, trusting and professional. Her rates are competitive with others. But it is her loving, caring nature for animals and owners that sets her apart from others. She's definitely the best "Critter Sitter"!.

I'm extremely picky and a nervous mom, but they put me at ease. Having a pet sitter who is also a Certified Veterinary Technician is such a comfort! I know that they will alert me or get my pet treated the second they notice anything wrong. They monitor food intake, behavior, elimination and anything out of the ordinary gets reported. They also take care of my home, my plants, gather the mail, etc. Shari even called me once because I didn't ask her to feed my fish, and she wanted to make sure I hadn't forgotten. They are trustworthy, reliable and most importantly, my pets LOVE them.

There are not enough superlatives to say how happy I am to have found Elizabeth and her team to…read moretake care of my pets when I'm away from home. I found them about 10 years ago when I moved back to St Pete. They have been life savers ever since, taking care of two cats. The first cat had health issues and required medication, was so grateful to have a pro like Elizabeth to look after her. The second cat, Bella, is still with me. She is easily stressed and doesn't like change (you may know some people like that. Lol) but when I get home from my travels - Bella is quite relaxed and happy. It has not only been when I've traveled that At Your Bark and Call has helped me, last year I was unexpectedly hospitalized for 6 days. All it took was a text message to Elizabeth and Bella was cared for. By the way - not only does the team help with my pets, they collect my mail and water my plants, too. Truly I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you Elizabeth for all your help and care.

Between the puppy teething bites, sled dog walks, terrorizing the mailman, and little dog ego, we knew we needed help. We called Sharon with BarkBusters, and she is an absolute game changer. At home training, No treats, No Tricks needed. Our furbaby is 6lbs of fierceness, and like his dad he wants to establish dominance in everything he does, including over our 2 cats and the entire household. In just one visit, Sharon taught us to think like a dog and how to lead the pack. Learning how to actually say NO in a language dogs understand has been groundbreaking for us. We've had dogs before, but we learned more in one session with Sharon than we did in a lifetime on our own. The future is so bright for our puppy Oliver, and we have Sharon and Barkbusters to thank for that!

We already had a well-behaved, but sensitive black lab mix. Sharon spent hours with us talking about canine psychology and working on attentiveness training. We worked with the dogs on the first visit, both at home, walking around the neighborhood, and at unfamiliar locations so we encountered another dog. The first day of training made an IMMEDIATE, huge difference; we were shocked and thrilled. The black lab was incorporated into the training too. She talked plainly with us and was realistic about interventions we would and would not be able to make for the dogs. She was awesome, we've seen lasting effects with our Staffie, and we plan on having our second session soon to follow up on our homework. Thanks Bark Busters!
