There aren't enough words to describe how wonderful is the Peace of Mind Personalized Pet Care!…read more First I'm a really nervous pet owner so I was very concerned that I wouldn't find someone to take care of my pet. I didn't just get someone- I got a whole team who took care of my pet. They explained the whole petting sitting process, did a home visit before petting sitting to get familiar with our pet and home. They provided daily updates and pictures when ninja kitty was visible. Kristen and Nicole are fabulous! Also they're website is so easy to use for scheduling and sending information.

Cindy w/ Pampered Cats is amazing!…read more The free at-home consultation service is the first step that puts you to ease. She brings with her paperwork and a questionnaire about your cat so that she can learn more about your cats habits, traits, favorites, etc. While away, she sent me regular emails to keep me up to date on how my cats were doing and also hand-written daily journal entries. Lengthy entries that describes in a loving & fun way what the cats were up to on that particular day. Including details that you'd only know after bonding with the fur balls. The best part was returning home after a 10-day trip away and having my cat drag over a feather stick that I *never* used, and insist on play time for the first few nights back. If that doesn't assure you that she does give your fur babies attention and love, I don't know what would! On top of all of this, her rates are right on par with any other cat sitting service. She'll also write you an email the next day to make sure you are indeed safely home and taking over again. The world needs more Cindy's! I am extremely grateful for her - leaving your kitties in the care of a stranger can be stressful, she really helps you feel at ease.

Incredibly professional, kind and trustworthy. My cat loves her, we love her, and great rates too!…read more There's no better cat sitter in the area.

We brought our mixed large breed rescue dog to Red Barn after he had been attacked by another dog…read more We were afraid he would become afraid of all strange dogs because of the incident. The guys at Red Barn are wonderful with him! Honestly we see that he's even better with other dogs now than he was before. Neeko is hard to control when we pull into the parking lot. It's a good thing he's always tethered in our vehicle because I think he would jump out the window he's SO happy to be there.

We got extremely lucky when a colleague recommended A Better Way Pet Sitting to me three years ago…read moreas we were preparing to go on our annual Cape Cod vacation. Previous to then, we had always used kennels when traveling. At that time, our two dogs were young and healthy and emotionally balanced. We still weren't happy about boarding them, but we felt it was a safe option for them. We had had horrible experiences with different kennels -- including one that was located inside an animal hospital -- and we swore we would never board our pets again. We didn't know who we could trust to take care of our high maintenance dogs and to go in and out of our home several times a day. Who would do all of the things our aging pets needed, such as give them medicine, feed them their special diet, keep an eye on their health and so on. (One of our dogs was diagnosed with a slow growing cancer last September and the other is a dachshund that suffers from separation anxiety.) Well, we can't recommend Wendi, Michele and Naomi enough! In fact, all of the pet sitters they have sent us over the last three years have been so loving and caring. These sitters really love animals and you can tell from the notes they leave for us that they truly enjoy their work caring for the pets. ABW pet sitting is like finding a terrific babysitter where your comfort level is as high as it can go! I would trust them with anything!! We go away without fear now and when we return, our pets are exactly as they were when we left... they aren't anxious or upset in any way and they look great! ** During this most recent trip our lock wasn't working properly on the front door. Michele contacted me immediately and managed the situation without any hiccups. They are THAT responsible!! Unbelievably great people!!!

A very long overdue update & review, but better late than never!…read more After planning a trip out of the country, my "dog sitter" backed out at the last minute. And who to the rescue?! Rich and Marissa! Sadly, there is not an overnight option. However, I was gone for 6 days, and as promised, they were there early in the morning, again in the afternoon, and yet AGAIN late night to take care of my pup. When I say "take care", I don't mean it lightly! I came home to a diary of visit entries FROM EVERY VISIT--for SIX DAYS! Clearly, the proof was in the pudding as their visits were more than just a quick walk--but love, affection, play time, and attention. MY NEIGHBORS--even those I've never met, stopped me when I came home to say how happy my dog was when outside with Rich and Marissa, big smiles, tail wagging, etc. They all attested to the dedication of time put in by Paw Pals & how fantastic they were with my Naija. And, in each documentation, they were honest & sincere, and you could tell how much they love what they do each and every minute. I never once felt as though this was a burden or tribulation for them. True professionals--and good good people. I came home to the happiest I've seen my pup since I've had her! Not one ounce of resentment that I was gone! Also, I should mention--I have a special needs (three-legged) pit-bull, who suffers from the myriad of stereotypes! Boy did Paw Pals prove each one wrong! Their expertise in ALL breeds & "thinking out of the box" with my special needs pup shone through day in and day out while I was gone. Vitamins, food, appropriate exercise and down time was documented by both them AND the nosey nellies in my neighborhood. I can't praise them enough. I can't hire them enough. I can't appreciate them enough! This is the real deal--l couldn't take care of Naija better myself! I can't wait for their next visit! Keep your calendar open! Naija is anxiously waiting!!

The cuts are fabulous, (I have a wheaton terrier), and I can hear her talking to the pets as she cuts. My dog loves her and so do I. She will schedule a years visits up front if you would like. We also went to Gail for training when I got my first wheatie, and she was patient and kind. My dog ended up understanding the commands and could be counted on to obey even when off leash even in an open/public environment, (although I only allowed that when we went to the beach so he could run and have fun with the other dogs). I have recommended Gail to others and they love her almost as much as we do!!

I called the number numerous times and no answer. I find it to be very unprofessional not to notify me they needed to cancel my appointment. I delayed my trip because they only do nail trims between 1 and 2pm and it was all for nothing. Also the nail trims weren't even very good. My dogs nails were very long just a week after the trim. I suggest looking elsewhere if you're looking for a groomer.

Each time they return from an afternoon of play, my dogs are noticeably balanced, happy, and ready for their naps. Sue is a rare find. She is loving, patient, and knowledgeable. She knows when to expect better behavior from my dogs and when to let them be. She's advised me on diet, treats, nature vs. nurture, exercise, training - she's been a good friend to me and a top notch 2nd mama to my dogs.
