We recently used Preferred Pet Sitter to care for our two pups during a week long trip. We are so happy with the care our dogs received! We received updates with pictures after every visit and a write up of how the dogs did each time. We will absolutely use their services again. read more

When we had a family emergency, we had to shift our previously-scheduled vacation into an emergency trip out of state with very little notice. Alysha and LeeAnna were so kind and flexible to move up our visits and even let us add on extra visits during our trip when something came up. Every interaction I have with Preferred Pet Sitter has been overwhelmingly positive. The administrative staff are responsive and flexible, and the pet sitters are friendly, kind, and thorough. I love the photos they send each visit of my kitties! One of my cats is a senior kitty who has strict dietary concerns and needs medication twice a day. The pet sitters were great with him, cajoling him to take his meds and making sure he only ate the approved food. That was quite the feat, considering the other two cats are on a different food and can be very shy. I can't say enough good things about Preferred Pet Sitter. Knowing my cats were well cared for, including with additional dietary issues and twice daily medication, gave me the peace of mind I needed to take the trip. I'm so grateful for this amazing business that feels more like an incredibly professional and thoughtful neighbor who cares. read more

Had never used pet service before -- have a somewhat anti-social cat. Left for a week and the daily updates were great. They did a wonderful job with GraC and it was nice to have someone visiting the house on a regular basis. Highly recommend their service. read more

We were nervous picking a cat sitter for the first time during our RV trip. After searching sitters in the area and reading reviews Preferred Pet Sitter seemed like the best choice for us. We couldn't be happier with the experience. Alysha was amazing. She was very accommodating, has a great connection with animals, and made our quick trip to visit family a relaxing experience not worrying about Shugar. We would highly recommend Preferred Pet Sitter and Alysha if you ever need a pet service. Thank you Alysha. read more

I have nothing but positive things to say about Preferred Pet Sitter, which is great because normally, I can get picky. But there is really nothing for me to pick apart here, so let me jump into why you want to hire them for your pet sitting needs. First and foremost, I have two senior(ish) male cats who are very set in their ways: one is friendly, but demanding and fiesty (it's really charming, except when it's 4:55AM and you've had 4 hours of sleep over a 2 days period); the other is a former feral who is extremely shy and cautious (he's what we call a "looking" cat: you look at him, he looks at you, he eventually decides if he wants anything to do with you, and it can take him a long time to decide). Naturally, I worry about the latter cat quite a bit when I have to travel so it's necessary for me to have someone who I can trust in my home, as well as understand his unique personality traits. Alysha and Deb do a great job of taking care of my cats basic physical needs, while understanding and meeting their mental/emotional/behavioral needs. Two other awesome points to mention, especially for you neurotic folks out there: updates with photos of your pet with a log that summaries each visit;and a plan of action for worst case scenarios (they have insurance; they ask you a lot of detail questions about what to do in an emergency situation). Essentially, when the risk-management approach is combined with a through understanding of animals, you end up with a true gem of a pet sitting service, which is why I highly recommend Preferred Pet Sitter. Other pluses: mail pickup! read more

Best Pet service ever!! I have been a long standing customer and I trust Alysha with my dog 110%. I started with weekly dog & cat visits to my home when I had long days at work. I have moved a ways away but I still use her when I need someone to watch Dixie (my dachshund) when I am out of town. I feel so much better leaving my dog in a home and not in a kennel when I am gone. I know she is getting more love and attn than she would at a kennel, heck probably more than when she is home with me. I get a report card with info on how things went every day and a note about the over all visit. There is pickup and drop off options and the prices are really reasonable! You can't find a better person to care for your pets!! read more

We absolutely LOVE Preferred Pet Sitter. They take great care of our cats, feed them, give them meds, etc. Without them, we would not be able to go on vacations. They are so professional and caring and loving and keep us posted daily and send pictures. The BEST Services you can find. Highly Recommend them!!! read more

Preferred Pet Sitter is awesome! Our dogs have never been boarded and now we've waited too long to try it. Cue Preferred Pet Sitter! They come to our house on 30 minute visits and let the dogs out, feed them, take them on walks, give medications, and even rotate the lights while we are out of town. I love the peace of mind knowing that they are insured just in case anything would ever happen! Our older dog was on a bunch of different medications and I was confident knowing that they could handle it. Definitely recommend! read more

Preferred Pet Sitter is the absolute best! Alysha and her staff are amazing! I got pictures and updates with every visit and their app is so convenient. I will never leave my pets with anyone else. read more

Above and beyond! While our corgi and pom must've loved when we went away because the boarding facility always overfed them, ugh. We were very happy that Alysha kept them well-fed and trim. There were no messes in the house, and I was thrilled to come back and see (and feel and hear) that she'd trimmed up their nails, too! read more

Preferred Pet Sitter recently took care of our 13 year old lab while we were on vacation for a week. We had concerns about leaving him alone that long because he has mobility issues. They did a great job with him and we really appreciated getting the email updates with photos. Their care allowed us to not worry so much about him on our vacation. We would highly recommend their service! read more

We are so happy with the services Alysha provides for our two dogs - we couldn't ask for anything better! Our dogs have some anxiety issues around new people however from day one they loved Alysha. She even taught them some fun new tricks! read more
