Pet Sitting in Franklin Grove

What a joy and an honor it was to have Phyllis and Jerry care for my home and my pets. I could write an epistle to describe in detail how much they did and how well they accomplished each responsibility. Our correspondence began many months ahead of my posted dates. Throughout this time, we stayed connected, and as we got closer, we shared more details about my home and care for the pets. Response time was prompt, friendly and courteous. They were incredibly flexible and understanding when I had to adjust my flight time and date. They arrived early on my departure day so we could have time for orientation, lunch, and conversation. Phyllis and Jerry were meticulous in following the instructions I left for cat and home care. They were dedicated to assuring me that things at home were going well by sending pictures of the cats included with special vignettes. They were respectful of my home and took great care of everything as if it were their own. For example, when the hose unexpectedly burst in the back yard on a hot day, they carried water in a bucket to my young Arbor Vitae trees. They are the kind of people who go the “extra mile” based on their high values and elevated work ethics. When I returned home, everything was glistening and spotless. The carpets had been vacuumed, the laundry completed, the dishwasher and waste baskets emptied, the stove shined, and the kitty litter was scooped and cleaned. My fur babies were happy and relaxed, an indication that they had excellent care while I was away. A delightful surprise was the colorful Autumn gift basket and note they left on the counter. I highly recommend Phyllis and Jerry in every way. They exceeded my expectations and fulfilled every task. They are friendly, enthusiastic, and fun to be around, and both have had a wide variety of experiences that translate into good common sense and wise decisions. It was truly my privilege to have the opportunity to meet them and to benefit from all they had to offer me, my home, and my cats.

We have used Wendy and Dave several times and they are the best! Our cats get more attentive care from them than they do from us, and our apartment is always left spotless. We have been very blessed to have them.

We booked Joanne and Rick in January. We had a great interview and booked them at that time. I kept in touch through the next couple of months. Joanne was very responsive and a great communicator. When they showed up at the scheduled time, we hit it off right away. Indy was very 'taken' with Joanne and I knew it was going to be fine. I asked for a picture or two each day. They took Indy on hikes almost everyday and I got great photos of him and the beautiful scenery. The house was just as I left it, neat and tidy. It was a pleasure to have them stay in our house. I felt that it was going to be a good sit and it was. I would definitely recommend Joanne and Rick and would have them back any time.

John was very communicative prior to arrival and ensuring we were able to make introductions and leave knowing when we left everyone was in great hands! Great sitter and would highly recommend for your home and pets.

Tim and his sons were amazing houseguests. They took great care of my pups and treated my home as if it were their own. Definitely recommend.

Laura and Scott were the best pet sitters you could ask for! Communication was great from the time the sit was confirmed and thru out the sit. Laura sent me daily photos and texts. They did everything we asked and then more! Highly recommend and hope that they will come back and do another sit for us sometime!

Kirsten has been our dog Marlo's sitter twice this year and is super responsible. She takes great care of her and our home. She's also great about keeping us updated with friendly texts. Highly recommend!

Julia is a 5 star pet sitter. We highly recommend her. She took wonderful care of our dear little Marley as well as our home. She and Marley bonded well from the very beginning. She is a very loving and compassionate person. Every day she sent us pictures and a report as to how Marley was doing via text. We could tell by the pictures that he was very happy with her. We feel very fortunate to have found Julia and would definitely love to have her take care of Marley again.

What can I say? I feel so fortunate to have matched up with Kris and she set the bar high! Kris came for three days, two nights. She asked if she could come with a girlfriend for a relaxing reunion with a girlfriend since she was in the area with her husband visiting their son in SF. It sounded like a fair trade. Kris shared she had a large Great Dane so large strong dogs weren't a concern for her. She sent photos of Cal and Prim on the beach, on walks and in the shower. She was able to extend her stay for me since our flight was delayed and let me know she stayed long and took the pups on an evening walk and fed them their Sunday dinner. The towels and sheets she used were washed, dried AND folded and there was a lovely note on the counter welcoming me home. If I could, I would plan another trip around Kris's next visit! I can't recommend her enough! Thank you Kris!

Sarah was fantastic! She made this trip so effortless and worry free. I think my apartment was cleaner when I came home than when I left! I look forward to having her sit again!
