On top of that, she is cool with coming every other day which saves me a ton of money. I suspect I will be using Fetch! Pet Care's services for a long long time.

He gives her medicine every morning, which is very important for our 19 year old kitty. It's also reassuring that he's at our house once a day while we're traveling, and he takes the bins out for trash day. It puts our minds at ease. He also has a really great backup cat sitter in case he's ever traveling, and he's also very good and reliable. They've come through in a pinch when we had to make last minute travel plans, and we were so relieved to know we didn't have to worry about our girl!

We like Major to get a solid trim, but to leave his ears, since it's his signature look. They always listen and do a great job cleaning up the overgrown areas behind his ears but not cut any length or thickness in front.

Major loves that his grooming includes a mini play date too, with other cute pups. He always leaves happy and looking great!

They were also amazingly accommodating and understanding when I got a few dates mixed up, and were able to add a few visits in on really short notice, which was so appreciated given it was 100% my mistake.

I wanted to take a moment to applaud the service I received from Apron Strings Pet Sitting…read more My family and I were traveling overseas recently and had a neighbor locked in to stay at our home and care for our two pets: a Pomsky and a Maine Coon. Not too difficult, just hairy and needy. Well, needless to say, that fell through last minute and I was in a bind for sure. I don't like to board them and I want them in our home. I found Apron Strings via Yelp! and saw the great reviews. I thought I'd take a chance... I talked with Howard that evening and got an understanding of what they offered, talked a little to get a read on his love for pets and general personality and was sold. He scheduled a meeting with one of his people to see my home, to walk through and meet my pets. That was great, and reassuring. I scheduled three walks/visits per day for my dog and cat. I was given a daily journal of activities, feeding, demeanor and all around vibe of my babies. That was refreshing. Upon arrival back in the states, Kim reached out to me to make sure everything went well and make sure I didn't have any issue. That was very professional as well. I will use this service in the future for my travels when I cannot find an individual to stay in my home with my pets, as they were professional and courteous. Thank you!

But Sue helped make me comfortable. She first came over to the house for a meet & greet session where she met the dogs and I, and learned more about their pet sitting needs for the week. Then, while I was away, she sent me text messages with daily videos and photos of the dogs. That put my mind at ease so I could relax on the vacation. And it was really nice to see how the dogs warmed up to her more and more each day. After a few days, they were really excited to see her, and were eager to play fetch with toys and sit for treats. I'll happily use her again next time!

For the past five years, these ladies have walked, trained and cared for our family dog, Hummus, who is a pit-bull mix. We adopted him from the San Francisco SPCA. Like many pit-bull mixed pups, his opportunities for finding a loving home were slim. He was anxious, nervous and afraid of others. Aggression is the first word that came to mind, but for us, he was just misunderstood. Kas and Amanda are patient, reliable and kind. Since we brought Hummus home they gave continuously worked with his anxiety and affliction to other dogs. We would be lying if we said he was perfect, but like humans, dogs are not perfect. Nonetheless, he has a come a long way from lunging, barking and growling at other animals. Kas and Amabda have made vast improvements in his temperament. We now have two human pups of our own. He is respectful and has nothing but love and compassion for them. Hummus boards with Kas and Amanda for periods of a time while we travel. They have always been reliable and responsive to our needs, not to mention flexible when situations arise. These ladies started out as our dog walkers, but as we continued to grow in family size our relationship grew as well. We are honored and proud to call them our dog trainers, but most importantly, trusted family friends. Their youth, passion and dedication are truly inspirational.
