People do not realize how much goes into animal care, but this company knows it all and runs things the right way. Our pets felt safe and happy, and we had total peace of mind while away.

THIS COMPANY IS FANTASTIC! Callie was so wonderful with them, that they miss her now that we are back. I HIGHLY recommend this company for your pet care needs. We were a little nervous at first, because we can't just have a stranger walk into the house with Dobermans, but Pura Vida worked with us so that Callie could come a few times before we left so the dogs could get to know her. It is really great to know that we have a go to company we can use if we need to go out of town. THANK YOU PURA VIDA PET CARE!!!!

When it comes to dog care, Mo is the absolute best. Dogs aren't a job to her; they're a calling and…read morea passion. She gets to know each dog personally and genuinely revels in their company. I've left my dog Nigel with Mo for up to two weeks at a time. She sends me daily updates and plenty of photos/videos (necessary considering I pretty much start missing him the second I leave him). Nigel has a blast enjoying frequent visits to the park and hiking spots around Tucson, cuddles in bed, and hanging with the rest of the "pack" (Mo's 4 dogs and whoever else she might be caring for at the time). Every time I leave, it's like a little vacation for him, too, and I can rest assured knowing he's in the best of hands. If you need dog care in Tucson, Nigel and I couldn't recommend Mo enough. Not only does she have years of experience working with many types of dogs - including training service dogs - but most importantly, she always leads with love.

Prin has so much energy and is so demanding, I didn't want to leave her alone when I had a day long conference. I was also able to leave Prin with Moriah for one of my game nights! Moriah's backyard setup was perfect! Her background and expertise in command and behavioral training was just what Prin needed. I felt extremely comfortable leaving my foster puppy with her and her pack! THANK YOU MORIAH!

We've used Glenda and her team to look after our cats for going on 6 years. Before our first…read moreservice, she came to our house to meet us and our fur babies. As others have mentioned, she takes detailed notes about each pet so she and her team can insure the best care. When we started with Four Footed Fitness, we had 3 senior cats and scheduled two 30 minute visits each day. We've stayed with this schedule, even though we now have younger cats. The team is great! They open shades when they come in the morning and take care of feeding, freshening water, and play time. In the evening, they clean the litter box, take care of feeding, and play with the cats. They also bring in the mail, close the shades, take out trash, and check the fountain outside - adding water, if needed. We get photos and a message from both the morning and evening visits each day. The team also checks in to make sure we arrived home at the scheduled time. It's nice to know that they have our cats covered if we're delayed for any reason! We highly recommend Glenda and her team.

We tried another pet sitting service before Glenda and her team and we weren't satisfied. After scouring reviews, we decided to give Four Footed Fitness a try. And we are so glad we did! Glenda set up an appointment to meet us and our fur babies and was extra thorough when taking notes about each of their personalities and preferences. Everyday we are away we get photo and text updates and always get a sweet handwritten note on return. We also love the ability to schedule, pay and update information about our cats online! Thank you for always taking amazing care of our kitties, Glenda!!

Ray has been watching our 3 min pins for 2.5 years and we could not be more happy with her…read moreservices! She started to train our youngest since she was 8 weeks old and she is the most behaved min pin you have met (hehe). Ray takes them to weekly doggy day camps, pet sits when were out of the country and is always so accountable. She uses positive reinforcement when training and you can tell she has a genuine love for animals. Bonus: she will send you photos!!! The puppy spam is my favorite part and truly the highlight of my work day!

She listens to everything he says to her through his body language, and she is able to intuitively understand his needs or preferences. This is the exact kind of person I want watching my animals while I am away, because I know that they understand and respect animal behavior. From the very beginning of the process, Ray was incredible to me and my animals. She was very thorough in getting to understand my animals needs before I ever even left. She asked a lot of questions that helped me feel very secure that she had my animals true best interests at heart. The entire time I was gone, I received consistent and detailed updates from Ray, and this was so amazing for me !! I've had pet sitters give updates, but Ray literally sends videos, pictures, and stories of things that happened, in addition to the basic updates. I really received so much joy being able to have a window into my doggies and kitties worlds while I was away, and knowing that they weren't upset or uncomfortable without me made it so much easier for me to relax and be present where I was. I would 10/10 recommend Ray's Petcare and will definitely ask her again the next time I leave. ​

Stay away from this company. The owner Arlene paid for the damages after Renee neglected our pets,…read moredug up our backyard, hacked down half of one of my beautiful bushes, and directly (for reasons that escape any logic) or indirectly (via neglecting our pets) destroyed other property. If you read nothing else, read this text exchange where Renee LIES about having been at our house and having cared for our pets. Imagine being outside of the country and having this exchange. -- ME: We havent received an update and we are worried because it seems they are being left alone more than 4 hours RENEE: Afternoon, I do apologize. I typed this up and forgot to send it. Pups are doing good and kitties come around here and there. [3 pictures attached] ME: When are these pictures from? RENEE: They are from today. I fed the kitties at 11. And took [elderly blind dog] outside. I also brought the packages in. ME: The door lock says nobody has been there since 8am ME: And the security camera RENEE: I do apologize those are from yesterday. ME: My poor babies, I cannot believe this is happening -- This was at 2:15pm Tucson time (late night in Ireland). Renee had left our home at 8am and nobody had been there since, and further she wasn't going to go there right away. We were told 3pm, which didn't happen. We called Arlene again. Renee finally got there around 3:30pm which means our pets were alone for 7.5 hours. We had contracted for so-called 24-hour service which meant someone would be at the house all night with only a six-hour gap per day. We had requested the six hours to be broken up so that the animals would not be alone more than 4 hours at a time. How long would they have been alone if we didn't catch Renee in her lies? Throughout this nightmare, the owner Arlene seemed unconcerned that her pet sitter was lying. She couldn't find a single person in her supposed roster of pet sitters to take over from Renee. She didn't offer to go herself until I angrily suggested that she do so if Renee continued to make excuses not to get back to the house. Arlene kept telling us to try to enjoy our trip as if the problem we were calling her repeatedly about was our inability to try hard enough to do so. She also kept repeatedly telling us in a cheerful tone that this has never happened before like that were relevant to our ongoing distress. She even interrupted my husband to try to chit-chat about how she wanted to visit Ireland! We were so distressed at Renee lying about caring for our pets and Arlene's lack of appropriate response that we contacted our regular sitter who was back from her trip and told Renee to leave that night. Nothing could have prepared us for what we found when we got home. Thank god our animals were OK. But Renee had not been checking the automatic cat box, which had jammed. Having few choices, the cats chose my antique chair, which was ruined. The most bizarre scene was our backyard. Renee had removed one of my shovels from our workshop and taken it upon herself to scrape up all of the topsoil into enormous piles that our blind dog had to navigate. We only asked her to water our plants which should have taken 10 minutes a day. Not to spend hours NOT WATCHING OUR BABIES and instead doing what must have been hours of manual labor tearing up the soil I've been building. Nor did I ask her to hack away at my fairy duster bush that the hummingbirds loved like some kind of maniac. She also rearranged some of my personal belongings. The floors were caked with dried pee from neglecting our dog. Renee is a person without a shred of common sense and no moral compass. Arlene has no idea how to manage people or a business caring for pets. One star is obviously too good! Forgetting all the other insanity, anyone who LIES about taking care of an animal, especially an elderly blind one, should never be allowed to pet sit ever again in their lifetime. As far as we know Renee is still employed by Arlene who was "very sorry for the inconvenience."

After our initial meeting with our sitter Lisa, she has been able to make last minute accommodations when our work schedule fluctuates - and of course our pups love her! In addition to taking care of our pups and playing with them, Happy Tails offers trash-takeout, plant care, and various other household tasks to ensure our home seems like it's being "lived in" even in our absence. I would highly recommend to busy families who want peace of mind for their pets while they're away for vacation or work.

We reached out to Nunn Better and set up an in person consultation. We found them to be very compassionate and understanding of our anxiousness about leaving the kitty alone. Additionally the cat, who is comedically aloof, came trotting right over to them and get some pets. We booked them for twice a day visits. We got daily check ins and some pics while we were gone. Nunn Better gave us peace of mind and took great care of our home and pets. We recommend them wholeheartedly.

Seneca (the owner) has been our go-to sitter from the start and looking in on them every time I travel. She's wonderful about sending updates and photos of my boys every time she's here. One of my dogs has some newly diagnosed health issues, but Seneca is medically-trained and has a wealth of experience, so I never worry when they're in her capable and loving care. My house is always cleaner after she leaves and my dogs absolutely adore Seneca. I can't recommend Nunn Better enough.

The vet said Minnie had not experienced much of the world. I decided Minnie should get that chance and then I found Little Paws On The Prairie. Liz and the dogs have done an amazing job helping Minnie feel safe enough to explore her surroundings, which I know took great patience. Minnie loves playing in the back yard, which is perfectly set up for tons of dog fun. She also loves the daily walks at the park and visiting the dog park with Liz and the other dogs. Minnie comes home from daycare, just as tired as I do after a long days work, which I love. One year ago I would not have believed that Minnie would be trying to jump out of my arms when she arrives at daycare, but now 8 months into daycare and she loves it.

Not only are they well cared for and safe but they also receive engaging training and playtime. I have two English Setters (Garwood and Brophy), that are my spoiled children. I do not trust just anywhere with their care and well-being and I truly was so happy with all the love and care they received from Sit! Stay! Play! when we lived in Tucson. They do have an interview process, but that's good! I wouldn't want to take my dogs somewhere that doesn't evaluate the temperament and require up-to-date vaccines and making sure the dogs are healthy. Because of the diligence around health that Sit! Stay! Play! requires, a cancerous tumor was found on my older dog. Had it not been for me going to the vet for the tests he needed to come to Sit! Stay! Play!, I would not have found the lump. To say I'm grateful doesn't quite sum it up enough. They also do fun events for the dogs and celebrate their birthdays (with darling photos!) and other holidays. When my younger guy came home with a Mother's Day card and cookie for me, it truly made my day. When COVID hit, the team at Sit! Stay! Play! was proactive and did everything to address the health, safety, and well-being of everyone. They were truly amazing and the fact we could still work and know our dogs were safe was so appreciated. Janet, Emily and the entire team is just incredible. We moved back to CA in the Summer of 2019 and definitely miss taking our dogs to Sit! Stay! Play! Thanks for all the wonderful care of my babies.
