This was our very first experience with a pet sitter, and we were so fortunate to have met Laura,…read moreowner of The Friendly Pet Sitter! I was always hesitant to trust someone I didn't already know to come into my home and care for my beloved cats. Laura put us at ease right away. We spoke on the phone initially, then scheduled a Meet & Greet where my husband, myself, and our two Ragdoll boys got to hang out with and get to know Laura. Right away, I understood that Laura is a kind, dependable, intuitive, professional person who truly loves what she does, AND has a sense of humor. She kept in touch with us via text messaging every day for the 5 days we were gone, sending updates and cute photos of our boys. Knowing that our kitties were in good hands with someone trustworthy made all the difference for us during our time away. We will absolutely contact Laura the next time we go out of town. I can't recommend her enough!

My Emerson is a rescue and he's a very nervous dog and a flight risk - so I'm incredibly picky with who I trust him with and I trust Affinity. Ashley does an amazing job walking Tegan and Emerson regularly (and sends the cutest pictures) and for our most recent family vacation, Debbie did an amazing job taking care of my dogs and my parents dogs (4 large breed dogs) at my home while we all went on vacation for 9 days. Since my parents dogs were new to Affinity, Debbie came out twice to hang out with their dogs before we left and totally won them over. Debbie sent us updates and pictures and we felt confident that the dogs were really enjoying themselves which left us all free to enjoy ourselves too. I can't recommend Affinity enough.

Trish is amazing. There are not enough words to express how amazing and life changing she is. My…read moredog Rocky adored her. On the days he went to Day Care he would position himself where he could see Trish's van come around the corner. When he saw the van, he would get so excited he would start to shake. He loved his Auntie Trish so much. Knowing he was in such good hands gave me the opportunity to take long trips without worrying about him as well as long work days when he was safe and happy with his Auntie Trish. Rocky recently passed away at the age of 14. He was a "difficult dog." He was never difficult with Trish. She really is a dog whisperer, and loves your pet almost as much as you do.

This was our first time having a dog sitter stay in our home watching our dogs that we didn't know…read more In the end there was no reason for me to be nervous. Trish and Maria came over several days before to meet the dogs and gather information about them including their meds, where they sleep, what/when they eat, when they go to the bathroom. They were great, taking any and all information I gave them. On the day we left for vacation I left another long (obsessive) list on the counter with all of the dogs information. When Maria arrived she texted us a picture of the dogs letting us know they were doing well. When she left every morning Maria texted another picture letting us know how the dogs were doing and what time she was leaving. Again this happened in the evening with more pictures. These pictures and texts made me feel like our fur babies were in excellent hands and eased any nerves I had about leaving the dogs with a stranger. When we arrived home after 3 nights away the dogs had been well cared for and were happy and healthy. I am so thankful to Maria and Trish for the wonderful service they provided to our dogs.

She takes good care of our cats when we are out of town, feeding them, giving pills, talking to them, and playing a little. She also keeps our indoor plants alive, brings in packages, and rolls out the garbage cans once a week. That's a lot to expect, but it all needs to be done, and we have relied on her for over 6 years. We feel guilty when we have to leave our pets, and we worry that they are upset. But Priscilla sends us phone photos and we can SEE by their expressions that they like her. That is so comforting! Every afternoon, we eagerly look for the "kitty pix" that lets us know our boys are OK. Thanks so much, Priscilla!

As she approached the end, my wife asked me to take care of Zoey for her after she was gone. Since Zoey was blind, taking care of her created an especially strong bond between the two of us. Sadly, Zoey had kidney disease and four months after my wife passed I lost Zoey. Grief stricken does not begin to describe my mental state at that time. Our little dog was gone and I was now completely alone. Fortunately the wonderful vet who helped Zoey cross to the rainbow bridge told me about Cara DeLaRosa. I contacted Cara and began meeting regularly with her. There is no way I could have made that journey alone, none! Slowly while working with Cara and working on 'homework' projects she suggested, I was able to talk about my lost dear ones without breaking down every time. I will be forever grateful that I met Cara because I was in serious emotional trouble that could have easily gone south without her thoughtful guidance. Cara is a gem, and we are so lucky to have her helpful counsel available in our community.
