Lisa came to our house for a meet and greet before I left and got along really well with my cat. Lisa is also super friendly and I felt very comfortable leaving my cat with her. She sent daily photos and videos of my cat and was very easy to communicate with, even while I was out of the country. It gave me great peace of mind while traveling! Lisa also noticed small things like recommending a new scratching post for my cat, which was very helpful. I would definitely use Lisa's services again if I have another trip, and I would recommend to others as well!

Matt from Pawfection told me he refers all his clients to her who are looking for longer pet sitting, and no one has come back disappointed. Overall impression: I cannot speak more highly of Kimberley and Bowser's Buddy Pet Care! She was extremely professional and accommodating and made me feel like part of the Bowser's family from day one! More details: Kimberley is the epitome of professionalism. I really appreciated how she: - validated my sad feelings that I couldn't take him on the trip - had me over the weekend before my trip to see her space and meet the other dogs she was currently taking care of - was in constant contact about times/dates and how my dog Reeses was doing while I was gone - communicated (quickly) with me whenever I sent her a text message or gave her a call - loves my dog like her own (and he loves her back!) Pro-tip: Kim's place is dog HEAVEN. Very dog-friendly and lots of things to keep them entertained and comfortable: doggy door, fenced-in grassy yard, orthopedic beds, etc. etc. She doesn't give discounts, but it's totally worth the price, and that's coming from a med student in tons of debt currently!

We have four Ragdolls and used Ed and Alexandra for about two and a half years any time we were going on vacation. It is so clear from our interactions with Ed that he loves animals, and our cats also grew fond of him. He always sent pictures and was extremely thorough detailing what was done during the visits and keeping us updated. We even had an instance where we needed him to assist with a virtual vet consult while we were away and one of our pets got sick, so they really went above and beyond. Rest assured that you can trust Ed and Alexandra with your pets and your home!

There aren't many trusted rabbit sitters in the area considering the area has far more dog and cat…read moreowners (I get it as we also have a dog and cat ourselves!) Our rabbit is very important to us so I set out to find the best possible pet sitter in the area for peace of mind, that was when I stumbled upon Furry Friends Pet sitting. We boarded our beloved senior rabbit (who is a very sassy bun) for 11 days as we had to leave for an overseas trip. Barbara is very great at communication from the first contact all throughout the duration of rabbit boarding. Questions are specific as in which veggies are most preferred, hay preference, vaccine and vet information. They also provided an enclosure with toys and hidey spots so all we had to do was drop our bun off in a carrier. She would send daily videos and photos along with detailed updates (like how she would lounge all day and snack on her hay and list the veggies she was fed). Barbara shows a lot of experience as she has a variety of veggies as well as regularly cleaning out the water bowl and tidying the enclosure. She would also spend time petting and changing up the toys and tunnels as well. Receiving texts on our bun was something I looked forward to during our trip as I would see how relaxed and comfortable she was! If you are looking for an experienced rabbit sitter in the area, I wouldn't hesitate to inquire here! Thank you so much for watching our bun! Photos below are from Barbara's daily updates.

My husband and I are so grateful we came across Dogs in Harmony and Shanni (shoutout to our friend…read morefor the rec!). We rescued a nervous jindo mix puppy last July who turned out to have several behavioral issues (fear barking at strangers at home/outside, reactivity to dogs, anxiety around dog dad, not engaging on walks) we didn't anticipate, and we were desperate to get some help. Given our pup's tendency to get very nervous, we needed a trainer who understood her needs and was willing to work at her pace. And Shanni was that exact trainer we needed -- she recommended 1:1 training lessons specifically tailored around our dog's threshold, and we learned how to identify body language and types of barks (i.e. fear barking, demand barking). She equipped us with all of the tools to continue working with our dog after our lessons finished. We didn't think leash manners would even be possible, but our dog now is so engaged and attentive on walks! Really could go on and on here, but long story short, if you're looking for a trainer who truly understands your dog's and your needs, equips you with the right tools to continue training beyond lessons, works at your dog's pace, we highly recommend working with Shanni.

Dogs in Harmony saved my sanity and helped me develop a loving relationship with my puppy! I cannot…read morerecommend the entire staff at Dogs at Harmony enough, but especially Shanni and Brenna. As a first-time dog owner raising a puppy by myself, I was completely overwhelmed. The staff has been with me every step of the way, even helping me decide on a Portuguese Water Dog's temperament to best suit my active running lifestyle. My puppy Yumi, now 17 weeks old, has been through Harmony School from 9-12 weeks, which came with 4 group lessons, and 1 private instruction. She's still going to school once a week to help give me some much-needed relief, and I'm hoping to start private lessons soon after my travel plans. Shanni and Brenna were instrumental during those first brutal two weeks with Yumi. I had major puppy blues - stressed about making sure she was okay, stressed about accidents, and desperate to set her up for success. This stress, combined with virtually no sleep (taking Yumi out every 20 minutes when awake and sleeping near her the first few days to soothe her), was a recipe for doubt and regret. I was that pet parent who would call frantically about any diarrhea or accident, text essay-length questions, and send way too many videos and notes about the schedules and patterns I'd observe, obsess over, and worry about. This incredible team met every single concern with patience, understanding, and practical solutions. The first time I dropped Yumi off at school was the first time I'd taken a break in a week - it was much-needed relief that allowed me to reset and find a routine that worked for me. Instead of fighting against her nature and her age (she's just a toddler!), I learned to work with her and celebrate every victory. The resources and support I received have set both Yumi and myself up for success. Yumi has grown into a beautiful, confident, and sweet-natured pup. She's well socialized, sleeps through the night from 10-7am, tries her hardest to not jump when greeting others, and can now be left alone for 3-4 hours at a time, which has been huge. She's still a working dog with tons of energy, but Shanni has guided me through how to tire her out mentally via shaping, soft chews, increasing difficulty in fundamentals, and teaching me how to actually train my dog. Her guidance helped me learn to see Yumi for who she is instead of who I want her to be, and how to debug and break down behaviors to address instead of treating undesired ones as 'issues' (like barking, digging, or jumping on people). It's been such a joy and privilege raising Yumi, but I definitely wouldn't have gotten here without Shanni and her team - the true village supporting my single pet parenthood lifestyle. Their approach is holistic, compassionate, and incredibly effective. Highly recommend for both new and experienced dog owners!

Don't bother asking for pet sitting service if you live in an apartment…read more I sent in a request regarding pet sitting services for my puppy whom lives in an apartment and uses puppy pads on occasion as we don't have a full yard (she can make it overnight now but barely). The response was quick but negative, with a subtle implication that puppy pads are abusive. Note that my dog goes outside at least twice a day on walks and during work days goes to the office where she gets to go outside regularly (no puppy pads at the office), however these folks were not even interested in learning more about the puppy. In general I am not impressed with the demeanor of this company.

I went on a 2 week vacation and she made sure my cat was doing well. Visited every day, petted and played with him, cleaned the litter, took out the trash, watered my plants, and updated me daily. She went above & beyond and even offered to buy more cat toys for my cat. She is also very transparent about costs, sent me her business license when asked and is a lovely person to talk to. Would definitely reccomend her.

As a helicopter pet mom who was nervous about pet sitters for a long time (especially after hearing…read moretoo many stories about Rover)... I cannot recommend Shawn enough. It was my first time seeking a cat sitter, and I completely lucked out when Shawn got back to me right away (after I had sent inquiries to multiple parties). From the get-go, Shawn was responsive and professional. She promptly shared her business license info, insurance info, and references with me - which nobody else had bothered to do. And she was so warm when we met in person, for our initial meet-and-greet. It's clear that she loves the animals she cares for, coming from a fellow animal lover. My kitty warmed up to Shawn much faster than she normally warms up to anyone (?!) - a testament to her character, given that my kitty suffers from plenty of "stranger danger"! Shawn sent plenty of updates and photos, was always a text message away, and allowed us to enjoy our trip with zero worry. Kitty was completely relaxed when we came home, even though it was her first time being alone for multiple days. I'm so happy knowing that we can lean on Shawn for any future trips we take. I completely trust her with my fur-babies and my home.

Also, if you ever need to pick up your dog with a child in the car, you can text them to ask them to bring your dog out to the car - super helpful if you don't want to wrangle both your dog and your child at the same time!
