This was our first time using a pet or house sitter and the bar set by Leslie is very high! She is warm, friendly, communicative, responsible and very clean. Upon arriving, she immediately bonded with our rat terrier, Oreo, by bringing him a new frisbee (his favorite toy/activity) and throwing it for him in our backyard. Leslie has a sweet and mellow dog, Benny, who is now Oreo's new buddy! She kept my husband and I updated via texts/pictures of their daily activities, our house, and was proactive in asking questions before she left. She even dropped our dog off at the kennel for one night at the end of our trip since our flight was too late for us to get home for him! Our home was clean and had fresh flowers from our garden that she put in vases for us! Such a simple and nice touch! We have asked Leslie to come back to sit for us again for 2 weeks in August. I'd highly recommend her to take care of your pet(s) and home too!
Leslie and Kyle set the bar for all other pet sitters! On the first morning of their stay my cat got out due to a faulty window in my apartment and they handled the situation so well. Leslie sent a text explaining what happened and that my cat had returned safely and she was so calm about the whole thing that it put me at ease for the rest of my trip. Kyle went above and beyond and not only fixed the window screen (he actually fixed two screens during their stay!) but also made sure the window was secure until maintenance could come and fix the issue. Their go with the flow attitude was amazing. I would 100% have them sit for me again! I can not recommend them enough. You would be lucky to have Leslie and Kyle as your sitters :)
Rebecca was amazing! She is a kind and clear communicator, took loving care of our pets, and left the house in perfect tidy shape. My husband commented, "You can't even tell she was here!" :-) Her calm demeanor, intelligence, humor, and common sense experience as a pet owner made her the ideal sitter for our 7 pets of varying species, ages, personalities, and needs. She managed the pet routine like a pro—including diapers and daily meds for our older dog—and cared for all of our pets as if they were her own. If you're looking for total peace of mind, Rebecca is your sitter!
Tom provided a last minute sit when my 2 week long trip got extended to the 3rd. The previous zeewoi sitter was no longer available for the 3rd week, and Tom came in as a savior. As requested, he started his sit a day prior to the posted dates (thank you for being flexible). He met the prior zeewoi in person, since I was not in town, and got to know the house and cats quickly. He sent pictures of the cats each day and added a note about their well being. He was independent and was able to figure out how to use the litter genie on his own. I returned to a clean home and healthy happy cats. Would love to have Tom return and recommend him to anyone leaving their pets in his care.
Duncan was an excellent pet sitter and looked after our old girl Cookie really well.
I have had 4 pet sitters this year so far. And Liz was the best! She was wonderful with cats. She has an easy going manner and is very comfortable to be around. Very smart and she is a great communicator. She followed all directions and left the house spotless. I highly, highly, highly recommend her! I would have her again anytime!
5 stars? Minimum, seriously, Tyler exceeded our expectations and we are DEMANDING when it comes to caring for our 4 pups! Fortunate to meet Tyler in person about a month prior, instant rapport, and she was basically born surrounded by animals. Professional high energy, and enthusiastic love for animals! We asked Tyler "Why the heck would you drive 1.5 hours from Nashville to hang in our small town?" Tyler replied "Have had animals all my life, current Nashville location cannot, I need my animal fix!" Tyler arrived the evening prior to our departure, met our 4 dogs, the eldest is special needs with bad hips, the youngest a wild child 2 year old husky, and in the 15 years of having family or friends assist with our pup sitting, this is the most positive and enthusiastic our dogs have been to anyone outside our home. It was an instant love affair. Our dogs are so spoiled with mom & dad working from home, nearly 24/7 attachment, they typically become depressed, despondent, ornery, you name it, even if we go out for 2-3 hours. The 3 instances where we did an overnight trip or the like, they acted as if we had abandoned! When we came home after 3 nights away (was going to be 5 but business cut our first vacation in 10 years short), when we walked in the 4 of them looked up as if to say "Oh your home how nice" and were content as if we had never left. That is a FIRST in 15 years. Not only did Tyler provide us with updates, photos, messages, etc. she organized (we did not require nor ask) our complete chaos of a large kitchen drawers, pots pans, you name it, it was the most organized we have been in a LONG time. Our eldest handicapped Husky, usually has accidents in the house at least once a day. The youngest 2 year old loves to chew up the carpet, toys, bedding. Under Tyler's watch, no accident, no chewing, and total happiness from a new affectionate friend! This was our VERY FIRST Trusted House/Pet sitter foray, and Tyler far exceeded or expectations, and set a standard that will be difficult for others to follow. Allowing a total stranger to watch your beloved pets and home is a serious undertaking, and Trusted House/Pet provided us with a rock star. Family and friends alike joke how we are over the top with our dogs, and Tyler did not bat an eye, and provided a seamless transition of puppy affection and well being. This review may seem over the top to some, all I can say is this is 100% true to life, and other Home/Pet owners are welcome to reach out to us for further referral. Those who are able to work with Tyler depending on her work/travel schedule would be well served to invite her without hesitation. Tyler, THANK YOU for allowing us to enjoy a few nights for the first time in a decade! Dean & Diana Smith
If you’re lucky enough to find Anna as your pet sitter you will have peace of mind and well cared for pets whilst you are away and a clean and tidy home on your return. Anna is thoughtful and kind, she arrived the evening before the sit which allowed for some time to hear about her interesting travels and work, kept me updated with fabulous photos and details of the friendship she was making with the cats and even took the trouble to fix a sticky catch on the cat flap. I can recommend her as a sitter without hesitation. Thank you Anna
Judith was one of the most considerate, trustworthy sitters we've ever had. We had to leave in a rush for a family emergency and really didn't have time to prepare the house as we usually do, but Judith took all in stride, leaving the apartment spotless. She sent photos of Baby Boo and Janet on arrival, putting us immediately at ease because it was so obvious the cats were completely comfortable, zero stress, allowing us to relax that they were in such good hands. She sent photos and video every day, which delighted us, confident that they were getting next level care. Judith would take care of anyone's home and pets with as much care as she did at ours, and we highly recommend. Hope she can come back!!
Jerry and Suzanne were absolutely ideal sitters for our home and pets. We spoke with them ahead of their visit and could tell that they are genuine pet and travel lovers. Over their stay we got to see even more that they are wonderfully friendly, kind, and responsible - plus they kept us laughing with their updates and descriptions of our pets' antics while we were away. Our pets and plants were well loved and our house was spotless upon our return home, and they were even kind enough to leave a few goodies in the fridge. Our dog in particular seemed to miss them and their long walks around the neighborhood. Thank you Jerry and Suzanne! We wish you well in your travels!

Our puppy stayed here for 2 nights while we had to go out of town. He went to daycare one time prior to his boarding stay and the staff are all so friendly and sweet, you can tell they love animals and I just felt like he was in such good hands. This was our first time leaving him since we adopted him and it could not have went better. They were also able to trim his nails which he will not let us do. We were worried he wouldn't do well with the other dogs at play time since he's so energetic but the staff made sure to introduce the other dogs to him slowly and he had the best time playing with all his new friends. He loves this place and actually seemed pretty sad to leave after we picked him up.
Love the attention and level of care! I have no reservations leaving my pup for day visits or extended stays. He's a loner but they make him feel right at home! Thank you for the freedom of worry!
All American Pet resort staff are always kind and respectful to big baby, an Anatolian Shepard! He is a bit submissive and nervous around other dogs, yet he loves to play… the staff is patient and understanding of his Unique fears…They watch out for him while he is joyfully playing with the other big dogs so that he doesn’t get bullied! He loves it there! They are fantastic! We never worry about our fur baby when he is with them! The facility is clean and modern looking and smells decent too!
We've been using AAPR to board our dogs for the past 2 years. The accommodations, activities and staff are excellent! My dogs love going here and I never have to worry about them when they're at the resort. For them, hanging with other dogs is something they really enjoy. Kathy is amazing and so supportive. We've had to board frequently while my husband deals with cancer and she's made room for us on very short notice. You couldn't ask for a better place and better people to care for your dog(s). I feel the staff genuinely care about the dogs and their owners.
My dog had the best time here! Myind was put at ease when I could watch him on video during the day or night and during playtime. The staff here are awesome! I love the way they have the place set up. It's pretty much perfect! You can't go wrong with Towles!
Most amazing and loving staff!!! Our dog vivi LOVES to come here
I am so thankful I found this place! I just moved to the area and needed a place to board dog. My dog is very anxious and needs a lot of special attention. She doesn’t like being around other high energy dogs so finding a place to board her was not an easy task. The staff here is absolutely amazing and they were able to manage her sometimes “difficult” personality. Everyone is so friendly from the moment they answer the phone. If you are looking for a place to board your fur child, all American pet resort is a fabulous option!
This place is great!! The team is fantastic!! They are always friendly and very helpful and we always know they will take such great care of our Lola. She loves the group play and the moonlight mini’s too!! I highly recommend using their services!!
I feel confident in leaving my five month old puppy with the staff. They are attentive and caring. The facility is very clean and they provide activities to keep dogs busy and happy.
This was the first time my dogs have ever boarded. Even though one of my dogs was difficult, they were well taken cared for and they had a great time there. I appreciate their patience and understanding.
Laura and Sandy took exceptionally good care of my cat who is extremely afraid of strangers. I thought she would stay hidden during my 7 day trip. After a few days they were able to coax her out from hiding and let her pet and play with her! I never expected that.
Laura and Sandy were such great pet sitters for our 2 cats. They sent photos every time they visited so we didn’t have to wonder if all was well. The cats obviously loved them because when they returned our keys, the cats came out to greet them which is quite unusual for our cats. They are reliable and the best pet sitters we have had in our many years as pet owners. We highly recommend them!
We can’t say enough good things about Laura & Sandy. We chose to have them come to our home to watch our mature golden retrievers while away at a Wedding for 2 days in lieu of boarding at a kennel. They are reliable, so caring and have reasonable prices. Communication was excellent, sending us update texts and pictures of each visit. It was big a relief to know our dogs were in such great care. They truly love what they do. Peg & Ted C
Absolutely wonderful. My cats were well cared for. Fed on time, litter box cleaned, and they got a lot of attention. They took the time to play with my cats at each visit. After a week, my house was in great condition and I know the cats missed their new sitters. I will definitely use Punta Gorda pet sitting again. I highly recommend.
Sandy and Laura have done an excellent job caring for our senior cat while we were away. They took care of everything he needed and were also kind enough to bring in mail, set out the trash cans, etc. Our cat didn’t seem the slightest bit bothered by our absence because of the care he received.
Our 3 kitties adore our cat sitters. They play with them and send us photos. The fur-babies hardly even miss us.
Where Pet are Family can be described as nothing less than an outstanding place to board your pet! We received daily pictures of our dog Gina playing and socializing with other dogs and romping freely in a very nicely fenced yard. We could see right off that Gina was comfortable and happy to be there. 100% extremely recommended!!!
I had a great experience with Ana, this was my first time using a boarding service for my dog, Lucy-Ella and I was nervous, however, Ana’s good natured professionalism reassured me. She patiently went over the guidelines and was flexible when I had to changed my drop- off date, at the last minute. Her home is beautiful and very welcoming. During Lucy-Ella’s stay, Ana provided daily updates and sent pictures on how she was doing. I will definitely use Ana’s services again. Once again, thank you for taking care of my little one!
Ana was amazing. She was able to socialize my dog who doesn't have experience around other dogs. I loved the environment and the fact that my Lucy was in a family home instead of a cage all by herself. She also took many pictures throughout Lucy's stay and kept us updated with how she was doing. I highly recommend this family business. We will definitely be using their services again!
Ana is great! I was desperate and didn’t want to leave my dogs at the vet with little interaction from people. Ana sent me photos several times to show me how my dogs were interacting with the others. Ana is also well versed in doggie behaviors so she has an in site to your fur baby. I felt very secure with my fur babies in her care! I would recommend Ana to care for your fur baby for sure.
Ana was very accommodating and our dog Curtis was very relaxed and happy in her care. Ana sent photos several times during his stay. My husband and I were at ease knowing he was well cared for in their securely fenced backyard and her pet friendly home. Ana is very affordable and flexible. We will definitely be returning customers just knowing our baby is being well cared for.
Our little girl is 18 months old. We recently moved and she only stayed with one other sitter previously that was not family. When we went to pick her up, she could not wait to get out the door. The sitter accepted all dogs and she was terrified of the big dogs. I was really excited to find a sitter that only accepts small dogs. Ana was great about sending pictures at least twice a day. Sadie always looked happy and seemed to be having a good time with the other dogs. When we went to pick her up, she was happy to see us but you could tell she was comfortable with Ana. We will definitely be using her again. Thanks Ana for talking such good care of our little girl Nancy M
I highly recommend Ana and Where Pets Are Family! She’s very sweet and knowledgeable and she treats our girls Tiki and Lucy like her own. My girls had the best time when they were there and they came home happy and tired from all the playing. I know they are in very good hands when I drop them off. The home setting is exactly what they need and very comforting to them. Ana sends pictures throughout the day to let me know how they are doing which is so nice! I’m so glad I found Ana and my pups new home away from home!
Once again Anna at Where Pets are Family exceeded our expectations. Baylee had a blast this past week with all her friends. We are not worried leaving Baylee with Anna and Curt at all they take care of our babies like they are their own
Lucy just had the very best time at Ana’s yesterday! She has trust issues was starting to have intermittent issues with some of the less experienced personnel at the kennel we were using so we found Ana’s cage less dog care to try. I have to say that I think Ana & Curt are dog whisperers, with their calm and caring nature. Lucy felt right at home. I was so pleased to find that this is truly the right place for Lucy. She loves to play with other dogs too and just did fabulously at Ana’s! So relieved to find Where Pets are Family!! Thank you Ana & Curt!!!
We are so fortunate to have found Ana and Where Pets are Family. She was a life saver for us when my Mom was unexpectedly hospitalized for over a week. Ana is so easy to work with. It's obvious she loves dogs and is very knowledgeable about their care. Lucy walked in the first time with no apprehension and was excited to return. We will definitely use her again the next time we are in town. Thank you, Ana!
Paradise Pet Sitters are absolutely perfect! They are kind and thoughtful and take wonderful care of my Newfie. She is big and doppy and has some health issues, but they handle her with grace and patience. She comes home happy and healthy. I wish I would have found them sooner! We 100% trust leaving Willow with them. We already scheduled her for 2 more stays. I am so very grateful to them.
I am so thankful we found Joy and Cathy for our 3 pups and cat. We hired them for drop ins while away and they sent updates and pictures every time. I did not worry one bit while we were gone because I knew our fur babies were being taken care of well and loved on. They truly went above and beyond. Thank you so much Joy and Cathy! Again, I am so happy we connected with Paradise Pet Sitters!
We chose Paradise Pet Sitters to look after our dog for a recent overnight. We were a bit nervous as we’ve never left Iris before, but Joy and Cathy took care of her like she was their own. They texted updates and seeing how much fun Iris was having was so reassuring. We will definitely be using them again!
We are so pleased with our dog walker/sitter. She is very professional and detail oriented. She sends us photos of our 2 little guys everyday, she checks our mail, takes out trash and returns the trash can to the designated area, cleans up after the dogs I used to feel so guilty about leaving my pets home, and now, it is much easier to travel. Thank you so VERY much!
We were so happy to have a friend refer us to Paradise Pet Sitters. From our first meeting we were confident that they were more than capable to handle our 3 year old 90 lb black lab & our 12 year old small chiweeni. The pups were obviously well taken care of and we received regular updates. I couldn't have asked for better hands to entrust with the care of our fur babies. Thanks again Joy and Cathy!
Kathy and Joy were perfect for our dog and for us, when our come back delayed and the so cool keeping our dog Tiffany for several days on very late note. Always makes sure with pictures of Tiffy and messages that we know they talking her in perfect care. I can just say they deserve 5 stars and actually more. Thank you again to Kathy and Joy.😘
Joy & Cathy did an amazing job with our fur kids! We were so nervous about leaving them while we went on a trip but Joy assured us she would care for them as her own, and she followed through on that! Our two fur kids came to adore Joy! She sends updates from Each visit and really put us at ease on our trip knowing they were ok and happy! We will be using Paradise for our future pet care needs!
Joy and Cathy were highly recommended to us by a family member and we absolutely love them! They have been great to work with and send lots of updates and photos. We have a 1 year old miniature schnauzer who is very timid and scared of everything/everyone. They are extremely patient with him and it has thoroughly impressed me with how well he has taken to them. It’s nice to know that when we are away from home, the boys are well taken care of!
I would highly recommend Paradise Pet Sitters! Cathy and Joy were amazing with drop-ins with my dog while I was at work. They are very responsive to messages and professional with communication. Most of all, they are very loving with pets! Paradise Pet Sitters is the way to go!
Had the pleasure of using paradise pet sitters last week. They were attentive, caring and provided excellent care for our two dogs. they even checked our mail and took the trash out. Our dogs were well taken care of and happy when we returned. We received updates and photos throughout the day , which we loved. We will definitely use them in the future!!
We bring our 78 pound black lab there.To get a bath in the nails trim and the ladies are perfect with him without a problem.He comes out nation , clean smelling good and he's happy. We have been to our vet and they want us to drug him up for a bath and nail trim a big fat no. Your place is a godsend with 1 person give our dog a bath and nail trim no drugs at all it is a blessing thank you so much.
If you want your dog pampered and done quickly this is where you should go. I have had my 2 small pups bathed and nails cut twice. They are professional and kind. Thank you for your service!
Wow, talk about a before and after photo!! My little boy doesn't look like an old man anymore. I absolutely love how cute this haircut is and how much younger he looks. You guys did a fantastic job and I am beyond pleased!! You will definitely be seeing Charlie again in the future as I think he rocks his new look!! Thanks again!! You guys are awesome!! 💖💙🥰
My dog had a wonderful time while boarding at My Buddies Pet Care. The price of boarding included all-day play. I was surprised when picking up my dog because he was bathed and even got his nails trimmed. Thank you, My Buddies Pet Care.
I used to love the grooming my pups got here but after Ian it wasn’t as good and this last 8 months have been much worse. My pups aren’t even getting a full groom any longer, they don’t do as requested and leave mats on them. My pups have been groomed for years and act terrific no issues so I only attribute it to overbooking or laziness after the last 3 bad results.
I hate to leave a bad review but I took my Rottweiler here yesterday to get her nails done the front desk lady ran out to grab me and my mother into the back because they said my dog was having a seizure as soon as we went into the back room to try and check on our baby there was a strong chemical smell to the point my mother got a bad headache a bit dizzy from the smell when I asked what the chemically smell was the lady refused to look me in the eyes an at all I take that as a clue that something here is not right I won't be back
I got my Golden Retriever groomed here and they did a wonderful job and just in time for summer! She looks great and I know it must feel so much better! They were professional and very kind. I will absolutely be back.
I absolutely love this place and my Arya is always ALL SMILES after she gets her nails and her bath done. I am horrible at setting appointments so I greatly appreciate the quick walk-in service and the fact that they consistently have the best price in town, as well. Arya loves her free bandanas and she says the pig ears taste great too.
The people are really friendly and they do a nice job with dog grooming.
Great care for your furry animal family. I have brought my dog since he was 3 months old. He runs into the door to b able to play with his furry friends. Groomers r great too!
Lesley ‘s business has provided my cat sitting for over 5 years and the last 2 years she personally has looked after them up to 10 weeks at a time. She can be trusted to do an excellent job each time sending me pictures each visit in a text and telling me how they are doing that particular day. I am extremely happy with the care she provides when I am away.
Leslie was great with my dog Mocha! He gets nervous around new people, but Leslie was kind and patient with him while he adjusted to spending time with her. She was able to help care for him during my long work shifts and kept me updated throughout the day.
My husband and I had to travel out of town at the last minute and found ourselves looking for options to help with our two dogs. We came across Fur to Feathers. After reading the reviews, we decided to try a pet sitter for the first time ever and we were not disappointed at all. From the very beginning, Leslie worked with us to ensure our dogs needs would be covered and she mentioned that Irina would contact us to go over everything, meet us and meet our dogs. Irina came to our house twice before we left to ensure our dogs knew her and that she knew their routine. While we were out of town, Irina sent us multiple pictures and kept us up to date on how they were doing. Both of our dogs took to her right away and would look forward to her visits. This was definitely the best option and we certainly plan on reaching out again when we travel
Leslie helped me take care of Cooper, my cat, when I was on vacation. She sent daily photos and updates which made me feel so confident he was being taken care off. Good service for a reasonable cost.
I am so happy I found Fur to Feathers to care for my young cat when I travel! Lesley does a great job. She comes to my house, feeds and plays with Sammi, and sends cute photos of him. I trust her care.
Highly recommend Fur to Feathers! Lesley is absolutely the best! My cat has been happy and well taken care of each time. We have been a customer now for two and half years for multiple vacations and holiday trips. Dependable, trustworthy and quick to respond. We get updates every day and our house is well taken care too! Could not ask for more! This is a local business that is well established, licensed/insured and active in community events. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Lesley has been my pet sitter since I moved to the area 5 years ago. I have 4 pets. She has been excellent, perfectly reliable, and has helped me out in emergency situations or on a moment's notice on several occasions. Could not ask for a better pet sitter. Highly recommend.
Lesley Baber is awesome! She took great care of our babies while we were out of town and gave us an update and a picture every single visit. We HIGHLY recommend her!!!! My Jaxson fell in love w her!! Fur to Feathers Pet Sitting Service is great.
I highly recommend Fur to Feathers Pet Sitting Service! Lesley was so good with our kitty! She texted pictures of our fur baby at every visit, took care of our home, and was just really amazing all around! She is now our “Go to” when we go out of town!
Lesley is a wonderful cat sitter! She watches our precious Persian Winston and he loves her! She texts daily with pictures to be sure when we are away we still feel close. Thank you Lesley for taking amazing care of Winston. Greta
Loving, professional care for your dog!
Wonderful company and people. Shelly and Diane were absolutely amazing when I needed help with watching my kitty Quinston! I never felt the need to worry. They took great care of him in my home while I was away. I highly recommend them and will definitely be using their business again!! Sweet,caring, animal lovers 💕 they treated him as their own!
I have used Wag Watchers for over 17 years now. I would not feel comfortable going on vacation if it was not for them. Both of my pets have benefited from being away from home in their second home. They have always loved and treated my pets as if they were their own.
Zeke loves his weekly play dates and Diane is so great w him. I’m grateful to have found WagWatchers.
Michelle was wonderful. I was a little skeptical at first having a stranger in my home but she made me very comfortable. She kept me updated on my fur babies. She would send pictures and my dogs enjoyed her company. I will be booking again and I would recommend 10 out of 10. The dogs got to be in the comfort of their own home.
Lisa was wonderful with our pups. They look forward to working with her again.
Having just moved to the area from Ohio we were not familiar with anyone to watch our cats and home while we took a long weekend trip to the Keys. Wag Watchers was recommended to us by one of my husband's co-workers. What a wonderful job they did. From initial meeting until our return home everything was beyond expectations. We will certainly be repeat clients.
Although the business advertises a commercial location on Kings Hwy it is basically nothing more than a mail drop. The actual business centers around offering boarding from residential homes in the area as an alternative to a professionally maintained, regulated and licensed pet care facility. This is a violation of Charlotte County Zoning Ordinances. Essentially each home is an illegal dog kennel operating in violation of Charlotte County zoning ordinances. Code enforcement has already visited the business owner and provided notice that that the operation of an unlicensed, non regulated and illegal kennel from a residential home is not permitted. Code enforcement will visit again. If your dogs are there when code enforcement arrives you risk having your animals confiscated by animal control till such time as you will be able to prove ownership and pick them up. If you have any questions about the legitimacy of this business please feel free to call Charlotte County Code Compliance. Remember a Kennel is “any establishment, other than an animal shelter, where dogs or cats are maintained for boarding, holding, training, or similar purposes for a fee or compensation.” This includes individuals who keep pets at their homes and charge for those services. As this is prohibited, all of these operations are unlicensed and therefore illegal.
Please be aware when you hire someone to come twice and they only show once cause the cameras made me well aware of what was happening. Use caution on who you hire from this company. I see your reply below Michael and believe me it was you. And I'm pretty sure you dont want me to go further with the actual details but let me refresh your memory it wasn't in the past 30 days and it was to care for one dog. And you were paid for twice and you came once. It was you and I'm so hurt by the whole thing still and I truly hope your not doing this to anymore animals.
Wag Watchers is usually just the "middle man" to who's actually caring & taking care of your pet/pets. If you want great pet sitting/walking I suggest you find and research someone you trust and care to take care of your fur babies.
I needed a last minute pet sitter for my 2 cats since my regular pet sitter told me 2 days before my trip she was busy. I found Wag Watchers and they came to the rescue. Thank you Mike and Lisa!
Julia kept our Bernedoodle at her home while we were working out of town. She was fantastic and took great care of our girl! Our dog had a great time and loved her entire family( especially Diana)! She even had to take her to the vet to have a previous surgical wound follow up appointment! We would definitely recommend her for your pet care!
After leaving our newest addition to our family, Cash, (a 3 year old pit mix rescue) my husband and I will be referring anyone we know in need of pet services to Sunnyside Petz. We were apprehensive about leaving Cash for the first time, but after meeting Julia and her staff all our worries dissolved. He took to both Julia and Diana instantly. Of course we still worried while we were gone on our trip….but Julia made that better by promptly responding to our text asking about Cash and how he was doing. She even sent us a photo of him looking adorable!
They all took such good care of Charlie for me while I was out of town. Everyone was super nice. Julia was so sweet and responsive. They took such good care of Charlie and took the best pictures of him, he was smiling in all his pictures.
We've used the services of Sunnyside Petz twice now and have been extremely happy in how they've taken care of our dog Carly! Carly just loves Julia and Diana! I highly recommend their dog sitting services whether it be daycare or an overnight stay.
Peace of mind when having to leave your pet is exactly what you have with Sunnyside Petz Services. With the help of Julia and Diana I had absolutely no worries leaving my girl who has separation anxiety, with them. Safe, reliable and very professional, don’t hesitate to use this pet service!!!
Such a Wonderful, Caring and Loving Staff that will take Care of your Furry Baby as their Own! ❤️
