I'm hesitant to suggest Margie and the team out of sheer love for their services. This is an…read moreexcellent team, and our family wishes we could exclusively use them! Margie and the team are highly reliable. They offer a range of Pet Care while you're away, while you're in town, or need a regular dog walker. Margie is very thorough in her onboarding to ensure clear communication and avoid misunderstandings. They go to great lengths to work as a team to resolve issues but are not hesitant to reach out to me at any time. A few things I like are they do report cards every time they come to the house and that the rates feel very reasonable for all that is included. Our family can leave our beloved dogs and cats at home, knowing they are in great hands. I highly recommend this team not only for the excellent customer service but also for the professionalism with which they handle everything. Thank you, TLC!!

Just a follow up review. This weekend Nikki was scheduled to watch our pets, but showed up to a…read moredisaster unfolding. An upstairs toilet decided he was going nuclear, spilling hundreds of gallons from a cracked tank. Nikki proactively pulled out her camera to document the event with video and then photos. She helped bail water and make sure the insurance process was going right. Once things settled down she got our cats set up in a room that wasn't damaged so the workers could work and found a temporary home for our dogs until we got back from our 3 day trip. All of this was quite stressful for us, but I swear she took the brunt of it. I don't know what we would have done without her.

She…read moresends us a photo on the first day to let us know that everything is alright, our rather skittish kitty is always happy to see us and her rates are reasonable. Jen also sells kitty toys on her website www.jenhenry.com/shop. Our kitty loves these toys, she is 12 years old but plays like a kitten with these hand made, catnip filled goodies. The toys are made from natural fibers so you can feel safe when your baby chews on them, unlike some of the imported toys. Be sure to check these out and support a local business. There are different toys for different holidays, here are some photos of the Christmas toys and our Estrella playing with the Halloween kick toy which came packed in a cute box with a 'Spyder,' an eyeball with catnip and a bell inside, and two catnip filled 'candy wrappers'

Theresa and her crew really saved the day for our family. On short notice I contacted her to see if…read morethey could take care of our 3 dogs over Labor Day Weekend. I had won a trip and was frantically calling around only to find out everyone was booked - one of those places suggested I contact Just Around the Corner. They came to the house and provided excellent care and provided top notch communication throughout their visits. When we got home everything looked great and the pups were happy. They use an app that makes the whole process seamless from beginning to end. I would gladly use again and suggest others their services as well - oh, and I might add that their rates are incredibly reasonable too.

I first met Theresa during the spring Melrose street festival and picked up her flyer. We used her…read moreduring a recent weekend trip for our puppy. $45 for two nights and Theresa also has doggie day care for $15 a day. We didn't realize we needed to bring dog food when we dropped off Abigail but Theresa was flexible with providing it. Usually, with the boarding we have done with Altavista and Petsmart, we wouldn't need dog food but at least now we know next time. Theresa also had other dogs there and when we picked up Abigail, we noticed how much calmer our dog was. I think it did her a world of good to play with the other dogs. Given the reasonable prices, we would definitely use this pet sitting service for overnight and doggie day care. She also takes credit cards which is convenient!

I know that my dogs will be treated well and looked after just like I would at home. (With probably more attention...lol). The staff is amazing and they care for your pets like they are their own. I never worry about my boys when they're here. Dawn is amazing and can answer all questions. All the staff is open and friendly and are good at soothing the nerves of nervous pet parents. There are some add on's that are extra but completely worth it. My dog loves the water park! Thanks again to the staff at Second Home. I recommend them to every pet parent I know.

If I were my sitter, I would have quit by now. I've spent the last several months trying to plan…read moretwo vacations next month as my husband has to take his sabbatical in September or lose it. But much like Big Sexy did, Miss Suzi (aka Lulu aka The Lu) has other ideas about vacations. Her blood work earlier this month showed she needed to begin fluid therapy and injections, frequency to be determined and adjusted as we go. Although I had decided to have a vet tech come to our home on the days treatments are needed (requiring coordination between the tech and the sitter), both Charlie and Jen, our regular sitter, did offer to learn the techniques for sub-Q. But after Suzi's recent seizure, I've been up in the air about whether to increase the number of daily visits or board her, assuming she recovered. Again, they have been super understanding about my waiting until the last minute to determine what is best for her. Well, we're scheduled to leave next week and have decided not to go at all. I'm not comfortable leaving her home alone and 12 days is too long to board her. It came down to what's best for Suzi or what's best for my husband. The cat won...again. There will be another sabbatical in 4 short years, and hopefully I'll still have a husband. There won't be another Lu. But a huge thank you to Charlie and Jen for doing everything possible to accommodate our situation!

On the first (free) get acquainted visit Bo(cat) went right up to her and started rubbing on her shoes and purring. At that point I knew he was going to be in good hands. Betty comes in as scheduled and gives him lots of TLC, double checks his fountain and his feeder, gives him a few treats and cleans his litter. She leaves notes/diary of her time with your pet and notes anything of concern or potential interest. She will also pick up your mail, water plants and adjust your window shades and turn on lights if requested. A daily visit is $22. While my Bo travels well, I know he is more cozy at home on his "tower of power", than living out of a suitcase with me.
