Thorough and consistent communication before, during and after the service with some of the best kitty pictures sent to us every day we were away and missing them. 4-Legged Kids was also kind enough to accommodate us for a week of service on very short notice, and we are so appreciative. Highly recommend, will be happy to work with them again.

I would definitely recommend this company. They are my go-to whenever we need someone to take care…read moreof our fur babies. SLDW's caregivers are so very reliable and patient with our very delicate (and nervous) chihuahuas. One thing I REALLY like about SLDW is that the same person visits each time--you know exactly who's coming and going in your home, whereas other companies may assign different people per schedule. My pups get to know their caregiver, get lots of love and attention, are fed correctly, cleaned up after, and I always receive photos and videos with each visit. All this has really allowed me to focus on whatever business may be at hand while away or to completely enjoy a vacation. Trustworthy, reliable, friendly, patient, takes time and gives love to my animals...A+

I never have to worry about whether or not someone will show up, I just work and wait for my photos and story of the days events to show up on my phone. The best part, I know they love on my fur babies just like I would if I was home. Hiring an independent contractor, you are not going to get this kind of customer service or consistency. They go above and beyond every time. I can update my schedule very easily, add a walk in case of an emergency and they send out holiday reminders if you need to cancel your walk! And cater to your pets needs such as medications or special instructions. I have recommended them to everyone in my building and I will keep recommending them to everyone!

With me and my husband's busy work schedules and freqent traveling as of recently, they were cared by our friends or at boarding facility quite often. Christy graciously came along at the last second when our pet sitting arrangement fell through during the holidays and took care of them with lots of love and care. Despite us having to go out of town again for a whole week soon, we are doing so comfortably knowing that Christy will take great care of them. She will send you text updates of how things went and sometimes with pictures too. She will also turn on the porch light at night and pick up mails for you, which are great additional services. FYI, the Pomeranian is very skittish and anxious with strangers, and she has calmed him down so much quicker than anyone else he encountered.

So I just want to say she is the most compassionate and caring person. If you're concerned about who's going to take care of your pet while you're out of town look no further. Always very professional, and courteous. Plus my animals just love her! It gives me such peace of mind when I go out of town, to know that my animals are going to be well taken care of and loved while I am away. She takes pictures of them every day at the conclusion of her walks or feedings.. and sends them to me b/c she knows that I am very anxious about being away from them. I just can't speak highly enough about her..anyway thanks so Daryn. You're like a part of our little family now.

Pros: she showed up everyday, cost was reasonable. Cons:…read morewater was not refilled for two weeks, it seems that no / minimal attempt was made to find or play with the pet. I traveled internationally for two weeks and needed a pet sitter to care for my cat. I decided on Hailee because the cost was reasonable. Throughout the duration of my vacation I was routinely told that my cat could not be found. It seemed like little to no effort was made to find or play with my cat, luckily my family was able to visit and play with my cat using minimal effort. She filled up food but did not fill up the water in the two weeks leading me to believe that she was unreliable, however she did show up everyday and was able to bring in packages. I will not be using her services again in the future, I do not feel that I can trust her with my pet.

Fern is amazing! We adopted a doggy from Saint Louis Humane Society in January for our son. At…read morethe shelter this cute little doggy seemed very well mannered, which she really is but little did we know that she has separation anxiety. She cried and scratched up the door pretty bad when we just went downstairs to do some laundry. Well long story short.....I needed to get back home (Hawaii) but I know my son and his new best friend, Daisy, would need some help. Of course, I look on Yelp. I see only 5 star reviews for Extended Arms. So, I called and spoke to Fern for about 30 mins. I was giving her the situation that we were in and she was giving us advice. I asked her if she could come over and speak to my son and show him some of her "tricks or hints" that could help Daisy with her anxiety. She was more than willing to help us. My son was very impressed on how thorough Fern was and how much time she spent with him and Daisy. Fern is very honest and open lady. She's been helping and taking care of fur babies for many years and she truly loves it....it really shows! Thanks again, Fern.

Normally when I leave for the weekend I come home to shredded toilet paper, things knocked over, and just general destruction... But with the love and attention from Fern and Carolyn I came home to no destruction and two very happy kitties! Fern sent me pictures and videos of my fur babies while I was away which was awesome. As well, she was very flexible with my schedule and even coordinated a key swap with my sister instead of me due to my schedule. I have never used a pet sitter before and I am so happy that I found Fern because my first experience with pet sitting was fabulous. I will definitely be using her services anytime I go out of town.
