I have used Friends of Bill twice now for cat sitting, and I can't recommend him highly enough! Ed…read morewas very responsive when I first contacted him, and we met in person shortly thereafter. I have a very shy older cat, and he understands her quirks (and probably mine). He's a joy to deal with, and it has given me great peace of mind while travelling. This last visit, ants had decided to invade. I happened to have some ant traps on my counter because I had used them recently. He took the initiative to place a few more where needed, and the ants were gone by the time I got home. These are the kind of details that you don't get with just anyone. I had always had friends take care of my cat, but I decided to look for something more consistent. I found his service while blindly searching the internet and reading through reviews. If you're looking for peace of mind at a reasonable price, you have found your answer!

I ultimately stopped bringing my dog here, even though I still had a bath and a visit remaining on…read moremy package. As a dog mom, I just became increasingly uncomfortable with what I was seeing. There seemed to be a lot of dogs together in a relatively small area, which made me nervous, especially with my dog being a puppy. On one occasion, I watched my puppy on the cameras being repeatedly pinned down and mounted by another dog for an extended period of time. It was really upsetting to watch and made me question whether the play was being monitored and redirected closely enough. I also noticed that after her visits, she would come home extremely overstimulated. Over time, she began playing much more roughly with other dogs outside of daycare, which was not something we had previously experienced with her. Ultimately, I decided the environment just wasn't the right fit for my puppy. I would have rather lost the remaining services I had already paid for than continue bringing her somewhere that I no longer felt comfortable leaving her.

We were initially anxious about using Vet Tech Pet Care for the first time because we had never…read moreleft our 2 cats alone overnight in the 12 years we have owned them. But my husband and I both needed to travel at the last minute and Vet Tech Pet Care came very highly recommended by a friend's friend who has been using them for years. We weren't quite sure how it would work at first and who would be assigned to stop in 2x/day. But Tomiko was great about matching cat lovers on her staff with the days we needed coverage. Alexa was our cats' "main" sitter but Kaitlin also stopped by a couple of times when Alexa wasn't available. We had the opportunity meet both Alexa and Kaitlin in person before we departed, and Tomiko also came by to make sure everything would run smoothly in our absence. I am pretty organized and had typed up instructions already for Alexa and Kaitlin, but Tomiko had a very detailed checklist that she also went through with me to make sure nothing was overlooked. I really appreciated that. We got texts with pictures and updates on our cats at every visit, which we also really appreciated. Our cats are very shy and skittish with strangers, so we got to hear how they were warming up to Alexa and Kaitlin at each visit. That was such a comfort to us! We would use Vet Tech Pet Care again in the future without hesitation and highly recommend them to others! While they are a service with many different petsitters working for them, it felt very personal and customized to our senior cats' specific needs.

She was able to accommodate our request with techs Alexa and Donna, who communicated with us and sent us photos letting us know our cats were doing well. They even left us a "sweet treat" to welcome us home from our trip. I will definitely use VTPC in the future and highly recommend this service for anyone with pets that need extra medical TLC.

The reservation process is seamless. You simply email to check availability, and Mindy responds promptly with a reservation form. The form is easy to complete, allowing you to share details about your pet's feeding schedule, medications, and any important notes. Once submitted, you receive a confirmation--everything is straightforward and makes securing a reservation quick and stress-free. Dropping Simba off was reassuring and genuinely positive. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and check-in was smooth and efficient. It was immediately clear that the staff are organized and truly care about each pet in their care. What really stood out was Simba's reaction--he happily ran straight over to a staff member, eager for attention and affection. Seeing him so comfortable and excited made all the difference. It was obvious that he felt relaxed and safe, as if he knew he was in good hands. Watching him settle in so naturally gave me complete confidence in leaving him there. While we were away, I reached out to Mindy to check in. She shared that Simba was doing great--eating well and enjoying playtime--and even sent a few photos. In every picture, Simba had the biggest smile, which said it all. Experiences like this truly make a difference. It's clear that Wunderbar Pet Hotel goes above and beyond to create an environment where pets feel happy, secure, and exceptionally well cared for. Thank you!

The photos show how much fun they were having and they came home calm, healthy and happy. The best part was when we were picking them up in the outside greeting area, our Gunner went back to their door and sat there because he wanted to go back in! I can't say enough about what a great place Wunderbar is, we have many friends who use them as well and are equally happy! Thank you Mindy and Staff!!!!!
