I wish I could give this company 5 stars. They are responsive and it's obvious that they love…read moreanimals. I called them bc we need care for our two dogs this summer. One of our dogs gets very anxious and aggressive around new people. It takes a long time for him to recognize new people as being safe. One of the caregivers came over for a temperament test and it didn't go well at all. I had high hopes that they could work with him but I quickly realized that they couldn't, and she agreed. The issue is the there is no guarantee that the same sitter will come to your home to watch your pets. I contacted them several months in advance and they still could not work with me to have one person watch my dogs. I understand that this is how they run their business and respect it. That said, I would only recommend them if your dogs are not anxious like mine and are okay with different people coming over to watch them.

They came out to meet the cats and get the instructions for the meds, etc. and off we went. Our friend noticed that "old cat" wasn't doing so hot, but was unable to leave work to take "old cat" to the vet immediately, so we were about to turn the car around and drive the 300 miles back, rather than finishing our vacation. That's when my wife saw that Kelly's Critters offered pet transportation too. We called and they took "old cat" to the vet and no exaggeration-saved his life. They started some new meds and "old cat" is on the mend. The cute videos they send when they visit are precious. They saved the kitty, and I think they saved my wife's heart and sanity. The quality of care was amazing and we'll definitely use them again.

Although a long-time Raleigh resident and dog owner, until May, 2023 I had never used a pet sitter,…read moreand it took me a considerable amount of time, online research, and several extensive interviews before I was fortunate to find Lynn's Compassionate Pet Care. And while my pet care needs were not for the typical reason of vacation travel, but rather due to my surgical procedure and post-op recovery at home, my experience offers an especially accurate assessment of this professional's level of expertise, since I was present during all of her visits! Moreover, having two adult Salukis not at ease with unknown humans and requiring considerably more daily exercise than the average family pet, I had ruled out several perspective pet-sitting companies before interviewing Lynn, who was the only candidate who understood that if a sighthound manages to get loose, chances are slim that it will survive automobile traffic, due to its athletic speed and desire to chase small wildlife. Her rapport with my two aloof girls was miraculous, and there was never any doubt that they were safe in her care. It is no exaggeration to say that I would have cancelled my surgery if not for Lynn's Compassionate Care!

Isabel came to our house 3x times a day for an hour each time and provided lengthy walks and stimulating play/activities. Our dog was tuckered out and clearly happy in her care - evident by the photo updates we received where our dog looked like she was actually smiling! It is clear that Isabel loves animals, but she goes above and beyond through her social media channels by providing useful training information and photo updates for pet parents. We look forward to using her service again and highly recommend her to others!

We cannot say enough amazing things about Melissa!…read more She has been visiting our sweet guy, Jax, for the last couple years and she has been nothing short of kind and loving towards him. When we leave for work, we have no doubts in our mind that Melissa will be there for him at his schedule time. On top of that, she always texts us when she leaves and fills us in on their play date. Melissa has even watched Jax while my husband and I went on vacation. We always vacationed easy knowing that when Jax was with Melissa he was safe and fed, and most importantly getting tons of love and playtime! Melissa is simply the best and we are so happy that we found her!

Melissa called back almost immediately and we set an appointment up for her to assess the dogs, our needs, etc. Zeke, my oldest is the one I gather from on who is a good guy or someone I need to watch. He seemed fine, but it was our shy Artemis that sealed the deal!! Melissa knows dogs and is experienced at what she does. I love the texts she sends to let me know everyone is okay. I also love the texts from my neighbors letting me know they're seeing some happy puppies out with Melissa!! I highly recommend At Your Barn 'N Call to help you with your precious ones!!!

We recently moved to Wake Forest from Dallas,Tx and began a search for both pet sitters and…read morekennels. In Dallas we were fortunate to always have family near by to take care of our dog but since moving we do not have that luxury. We visited several different boarders/kennels but felt more comfortable leaving our dog at home. Once Irene came to our house to meet us and Rudy, we knew right away we wanted to go with Irene. Rudy normally barks at strangers but not Irene. We were out of town for about 16 days, and this is the first time we've left our dog for this long. Irene came twice each day to walk and play with Rudy as well as take care of other things like turning on lights, getting the mail, taking out garbage etc. She did a fantastic job. She kept a daily journal that kept track of what she did and what Rudy did as well. We received text messages letting us know that everything was ok. We also had a situation come up that she needed to handle that involved finding documents in our house, making copies and overnighting a package which she did without delay which was very important to us. Highly recommend Irene and we will definitely be using her in the future.

I always feel a bit guilty leaving my Bengal cat behind when I take off but what can you do? Thankfully, Raleigh Pet Sitters has become a reliable part of the team that makes my traveling life a bit easier with pet-sitting and general home upkeep. Before you sign up as a client they do an in-house visit to first get the details, smart idea. At $19/day for a visit which includes taking care of kitty-fido, grabbing mail and more, I've used them several times over the last year or so. They've been reliable and good with communications while I'm out. They also try to pair you up with the same pet-sitter for consistency which is a nice plus. And if you follow their Facebook page, they post regularly on their visits which is a good way to stay engaged. So overall no complaints about Raleigh Pet Sitters, they have done a very solid job for me and yeah, I'm pretty sure I'll be using them again. If I could only get my cat out from under the bed while I'm gone, now that would be a pet-sitting miracle...

Atlas and I both of love Dogtopia :D Update (10/07/2020) : I am taking down a star only because of the confusion with the daycare passes. I usually purchase a 10 day or 20-day pass here and haven't faced any troubles until recently. Each of the staff members mentions a different ' No. of days left on your pass ' to me. I am guessing this is because of all the new folks being hired. I sense a lot of confusion among the new hires.

She came home with what appears like bite marks on her leg and scratches on her tummy. Scratches are understandable as some dogs have sharp claws, but the rest is inexcusable. She was very skiddish when we got her home. She was very dirty AND she smelled like urine. This is neglectful treatment of my dog, of ANY dog. Never going back to this Dogtopia location.
