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.

I am so glad I found Fern, she is amazing! As well, one of her associates, Carolyn, was wonderful…read more They watched my two kitties while I was away for a week and did a great job. 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.

She also asked me several questions about our dog and took notes. I could tell instantly that she is a dog lover. While we were gone, she sent me photos of him and gave me updates. He was much happier sleeping in a home (vs an outdoor kennel) and she even provided the dogs an outside kiddie pool to enjoy. When I picked him up, she seemed genuinely sad to see him go. Normally, he jumps up on me when I've returned to a boarding businesses to retrieve him as he is so happy to go home. This time, he was very calm and took his time hopping into my vehicle. I could tell he was well cared for! The price is fair and comparable to other boarding places. We have found a new caretaker for our pet!

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+

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.

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!

Customer service at Pampered Paws is exactly what you want when you are turning over your house keys and entrusting someone with your pets. She always got right back to me to answer any questions I had. We did an initial meeting at the house where we went over all the paperwork and info about the cats and everything she needed to know about the house. She is very detail oriented. While we were gone she would check in once a day with texts to notify us she had visited the house and that the cats were ok. Angie is very professional and it's so nice to be able to go out of town and know that the kitties have been well taken care of. I highly recommend her if you are in the market for a new pet sitter or need any of the other services she offers to help you take care of your pets.
