He takes care of our Doberman like she is his own, and for a dog with some major separation issues, this comes as a huge relief on long work days and weekend trips. He works tirelessly to care for all "his" dogs and make the lives of dog parents easy and stress-free.

Luv My Pet is beyond the best! They have walked our dog Emilie for over four years and counting,…read moreand we recommend them to everyone. They are super responsible and have a great team, so we know a walk will never be cancelled. Even if our normal dog walker cannot make it, they schedule someone else, so we never have to worry that our dog will get walked! We can schedule, pay, change, and leave notes in the app, so it's super convenient as busy young professionals and new parents. Most importantly, their team is so caring. Luv My Pet has supported our senior dog through so many challenges - helping us to observe when she has had health issues of all varieties, offering encouragement and tips, and more. We cannot recommend Jeff and the team at Luv My Pet (especially our pup's bff and dogwalker, Hillary!) enough!

This was my first time hiring Bmore Cats and while it's clear many have enjoyed their services…read morebased on the glowing reviews, my experience was different. Ron watched my two cats for a week. I notified Ron by text before I left that my younger cat is very particular about the state of her litter box. If left un-scooped for more than 24 hours, she will likely urinate on the mats just outside the box. She's been taken to the vet multiple times for this issue and its nothing medical or anxiety-related, she is just very high maintenance (who can blame her - if I had to pee in a box everyday, I probably would be too). The week goes by and Ron sends me photos of my cats daily. I do notice, based on the alarm system, that each visit is only 10 minutes, sometimes even less. I was surprised by this since he charges $25 per visit. When I arrived home, the state of the litter boxes was abysmal. Both boxes were full and the mats just outside the boxes were covered in urine. Some spots were fresh and others had dried and been left for a while. Even the hardwood floor in front of the mats was covered in dried urine. I've actually never seen anything like it from my cats. I was horrified to think of my cats walking through their own filth day after day in order to use the litter box. Peeking into the trash can, it's unclear whether Ron cleaned the boxes at all since I didn't see any signs of discarded litter either. Usually the trash bag would be much more full after a week. I asked Ron about the mess. His response was denial, saying that he cleaned the boxes every visit. He also said "I always kept everything clean but didn't know how to clean up around the mats". I found this odd for a couple reasons: 1. If he knew the cat(s) were having accidents, why didn't he mention it to me? 2. If he didn't know how to clean up around the mats, why didn't he ask? There was zero communication on his part that anything was even amiss. Had he stayed longer than 10 minutes at a time, maybe he would've noticed the mess or cared to look under the sink for cleaning supplies and paper towels. The cats were fed and visited twice daily but whatever else occurred during those visits, I'm not sure. I find it hard to believe that the cats got much social interaction or playtime within 10 minutes. With basic responsibilities overlooked and poor communication all for a whopping $300 for the week, I will not be utilizing Bmore Cats in the future and unfortunately, can't recommend it to others.

We use whatsapp to connect while I'm out of the country, and Ron sends me a ton of pics to show me how Stella is doing. One time, Stella decides to kill a wasp and Ron stayed back to make sure she doesn't swell up like a balloon. I can't thank him enough for taking such good care of my cat. She also loves getting brushed now thanks to him, so hopefully I'll have less fur floating around the house!

She'll come and walk Toby and send me pictures telling me how their visit went. If you need a dog walker, Lori is your gal! She's the dog whisperer.

Lori knows who Kacy's friends are in the building so sometimes she will walk them together, and they love it! It tires them out and they have fun. I always leave a frozen Kong with peanut butter for Kacy, and Lori never forgets to give it to her before she leaves. When Kacy is sick or not feeling good, Lori will check on her and update me with how she is doing. When I'm running late from work or something comes up during a work day, Lori will come walk Kacy. Kacy loves her so much!! I would recommend Lori to anyone who has a dog. She is so sweet and plays with the dogs, and is very attentive.

It's only been a few weeks but so far, so good. Andy is a pleasure to deal with. He's communicative and great with both people and animals. We really can't thank him enough for everything he's done for us and for Alfie.

To top it off, Dan actually let me know that I had overpaid them and said that he would credit my account for a future vacation - now that, my friends, is honesty. As far as I'm concerned, they can keep that money as a tip, because they surely deserve it. I am so glad that I selected Dog Day Afternoon as my pet sitting provider.

The sitters vary but all are enthusiastic based on the reports they leave. After every visit the sitter leaves a note of when they came and left and what they did. They also usually text us an update and a picture of our birds. We come back to a stack of reports. The sitter stays a while after the food, water, and paper are changed to make sure the birds aren't acting weird, and I hear that some singing goes on. We've never had a problem and have be accommodated at very short notice when we want to go away for the weekend. I highly recommend this company. 1/27/20 Update: Just used them again during a ten day trip to Hawaii. I'm pretty sure our birds are in love with Alex, who came for most oF the visits. Now they are just stuck with us. As always, a great experience and we love being able to travel without any worries.

Despite me typing up a whole instruction sheet, he insisted on walking through again just to be sure (which is very reassuring). The actual pet sitting was spectacular. The pet sitter who was assigned was Kim. She spent plenty of time with the cats and made sure they were well cared for while I was away. The visit reports they leave are really cute as well. Could not have gone smoother! I'd also like to add that they were available with very short notice (3 other pet sitting companies were unable to handle our request). Also want to add that Stewart (when he came for the home visit) was wearing a mask and gloves to protect against COVID (a welcome sight). Pet owners would should have their minds at ease if they select Love Those Paws. If I go on vacation again (few and far between these days) I would definitely use them again!

On many occasions we'd come home to a complete mess, to our bathroom being used and not left in appropriate condition, to our belongings clearly touched (moved), and litter left in our trash bins. As someone coming into our home and caring for our animals requires not only respect and care, but also a mutual trust, we were overjoyed to find Kristen! We had total comfort on a recent trip away knowing she was caring for our boys - we received wonderful photos and notes from each visit and we came home to a clean and happy home. My husband and I are tremendously particular, and give how terrible some past experiences have been, and how seriously we take this kind of service, I can safely say that we wouldn't post this recommendation without thinking Kristen is truly the "cat's meow!" She is courteous, respectful, kind to the animals (and plays with them!), takes care in one's home, and always follows a visit with photos and comments. The app and website she works with are easy to use and convenient, and allows for full scheduling and contact as is required. As points many might also appreciate, her fees are either equal to or far better than many other services. If you are in need of a new sitter or walker, or are new to the area, don't hesitate!
