We'll definitely hire WTW the next time we need a cat sitter.

They were patient with our skittish puppy who didn't like her face touched, and they were gentle with our older dog after each of her leg surgeries.

Couldn't recommend them higher.

The "complaint" that you get different walkers each time is nonsense in my book. I regularly schedule visits in the early am for same day and they've never let us down. You can't expect the unparalleled flexibility that they provide AND super consistency of walker. Frankly, our dog doesn't care, she loves people. The mobile site works great for scheduling.

We could not have asked for a better dogsitter than Jayne from Topdog. We originally planned on…read moreJayne staying overnight for one night at our house when I had my baby but we ended up needing another night and additional walks. Jayne replied to my husband's message almost immediately and was able to take care of our dog, even on just hours notice. She took excellent care of our pooch - he even slept right next to her! We also received a report card at the end of her stay, which detailed their walks and playtime. Jayne replies very quickly to emails asking about availability, as well. She has made it possible for us to go out of town and feel comfortable leaving our dog at home in her care. She takes the time to understand the unique needs of our pet and make sure he is treated just as we would treat him. We highly recommend Jayne and Topdog!

Tamara is such a wonderful walker. She is incredibly knowledgeable about dog behavior and has…read morehelped keep up our dog's training because of her own expertise with dogs. I think of her as one of our dog's trainers. You're getting a lot for your money when you hire her because of this. Our dog was a rescue that was afraid of some people and objects, and Tamara helped refine his sense of trust through her training and conversations with us. She is definitely into collaborating with dog parents to make sure everyone is getting the best possible experience and growing and improving with time. She is also very communicative about walks, schedules and weather. There were several times that we would be approaching a school holiday and I wouldn't remember to cancel with Tamara, but she would contact me beforehand to confirm. I definitely have a strange walking schedule some weeks and Tamara was very patient with adjusting walks for the week to accommodate that, as well as having a great memory for those schedules. All in all, I'm so lucky to have found such a great service for my doggie.

I have one cat, and have been using Fetch when I go on week + long trips for the last two years…read more I've always thought they were attentive, have always showed up on time, and sent photos and updates. I've never had any complaints. This last month, I realized they are more than just a pet company. They really care! I set my dates a few months ago, when I planned a 7 day business trip to Europe. When I got my final schedule, I noticed a new name on my schedule, different from the sitter I've had the last two years. I physically wrote out some instructions on sticky notes to leave in the house (ie litter box is upstairs, dry food is automated, wet food instructions, etc) and figured that'd be it. A few hours later, I got a phone call from the new sitter (Agnes), asking if she could come by before I leave to meet my kitty and find out his instructions. I told her that I was leaving the next afternoon (Thanksgiving day), and she graciously offered to come by early Thanksgiving morning. That blew me away! Most people wouldn't go this far for a "self sufficient" cat. I'm back home, and just like in trips past, everything was perfect.

Our masters don't go away very often, but when they do, they're fortunate to get Donna to look after us. She makes sure we have plenty of fresh food and water everyday, as well as a clean "bathroom".

They love knowing that everything at home is under control- that the house looks lived in and the mail is taken in, etc. - so they can enjoy their vacation worry-free. Of course, we are happy to see our masters when they get home, but we know we don't have to worry about anything when Donna takes care of us, so we can enjoy the time stress-free!

My dogs started to, on a daily basis, have accidents in the house. Understandably, because they were home for so long without going out. Now that Patti walks them daily, they have a whole new personality and are much calmer and almost never have accidents. It really was the best thing I could have done for them! My job allows me to Work From Home on occasion. I always know when she is here because my dogs go crazy when they see her car. She really is the sweetest person and does a great job with the boys! She was the easiest and BEST decision I ever made! We just LOVE HER!

I can't speak highly enough of her. She's caring, professional, definately has working knowledge of dog behavior and we can rely on her, even when we had to make a schedule change on short notice due to an unexpected work trip. Our Lab just loves her, and waits for her patiently as soon as she senses it's about "that time" (with the same precision as "it's dinnertime!"
