I agree with all the great reviews for Cuddles On Call! Megan and Justin did a wonderful job and I…read morewasn't worried about the medicine that my cat has to have twice a day; they were happy to do so, 12 hours apart -- and they are skilled at giving meds in general. They video taped the cats hanging out and getting lots of attention and sent it to me while we were gone. I actually got home a bit early, so it was terrific that Justin could give lots of attention to my male cat (who obviously adored him and wouldn't stop rubbing up against his legs) while I brought my stuff in. Justin even offered to help me unload, but it was even better to see how much the cats loved them! I would recommend them to anyone who has to leave their homes -- it's reassuring to know that pet sitting isn't just a 'job' to them -- they love animals! If I still had dogs, I would also hire them in a heartbeat! Carroll H. PS Sorry it took me so long to post this, guys!

Veterinarian here! I highly recommend Cuddles on Call for all of your pet care needs. They walk my…read moredogs every weekday and my dogs absolutely love them. All of their sitters are highly dependable and skilled. You can tell they are passionate about caring for animals and providing the best service possible.

We had such a great experience working with Raleigh Pawz! Everyone we interacted with was…read moreprofessional and friendly. Our dog is very nervous around strangers, but our weekend away went so smooth for him thanks to Lindsey. She was clearly experienced working with dogs and was very patient with him as he slowly warmed up to her. She also gave us great updates each visit with lots of photos which was so sweet. Can't recommend enough if you're looking for a pet sitter!

When you need to leave your furry little friend going on vacation, who can you call? Raleigh Pet…read moreSitters! I always feel a bit guilty leaving my Bengal cat behind when I take off but what can you do? Thankfully, Raleigh Pet Sitters has become a reliable part of the team that makes my traveling life a bit easier with pet-sitting and general home upkeep. Before you sign up as a client they do an in-house visit to first get the details, smart idea. At $19/day for a visit which includes taking care of kitty-fido, grabbing mail and more, I've used them several times over the last year or so. They've been reliable and good with communications while I'm out. They also try to pair you up with the same pet-sitter for consistency which is a nice plus. And if you follow their Facebook page, they post regularly on their visits which is a good way to stay engaged. So overall no complaints about Raleigh Pet Sitters, they have done a very solid job for me and yeah, I'm pretty sure I'll be using them again. If I could only get my cat out from under the bed while I'm gone, now that would be a pet-sitting miracle...

I've used Amber, and mostly Anne, to walk my medium size dog for the past year and a half. They…read morehave consistently shown a high level of competence and integrity. Very friendly and helpful to owners, and friendly and competent in handling the dogs. I can recommend this service without reservation or hesitation.

Amber has been caring for my two dogs for 2 years now. She is amazing. Both my dogs are…read moredifficult to handle: one is extremely nervous and will run away or growl/snap in new situations. The other one is sweet natured, but barks incessantly in any new situation or when other people or dogs are encountered. They both love Amber, and she is better able to handle them than any dog trainer I have used. (And I have used numerous.) Amber not only provides walks and play time, but it is clear that she has been helping to train the dogs. They have shown significantly improved behavior on walks after she has been working with them. She is extremely patient with them and clearly cares for them. Both dogs love her, and I can't imagine using anyone else. Amber has provided daily walks for extra exercise and has also cared for them when I was traveling. Neither dog seems to miss me when I am out of town....which I consider to be the best recommendation possible! She seems to truly understand them and goes out of her way to make sure they are happy and comfortable. She is an absolute natural around dogs, and I'd recommend her to anybody.

I have worked with this group for the last few months and can't say enough great things about them!…read more Our pet sitter is Jim and both of my animals love him. He writes notes after every visit letting us know all of the events that happened. He is so sweet! He also confirms with an email that he will be coming to the appointment so we know ahead of time we have nothing to worry about. The group is conscientious and very nice to work with. I travel a lot for work so it is very comforting to know that our animals are being well taken care of. I put full trust in them and they have never let me down. I am grateful to have found them!

This company has set me up with 2 different dog walkers, both of whom have been fantastic (the…read morefirst woman had left the company due to other priorities). It was nice that when my original dog walker left, I was hooked up quickly with another woman who came by to meet my dog and has been my go-to dogsitter ever since. The dog walker I've been working with most recently, Darlene, is the best. I feel totally comfortable leaving town and knowing she will be taking care of my dog, Stella. She emails and leaves notes to let me know how Stella did while I was away, and has been available to help me out every time I've needed to go out of town, or needed a last minute dogwalk.

I would give zero stars to Ark Angel if I could. I used their services for nearly a month while I…read morewas in Europe & almost everything that could've gone wrong did. The "Pet Sitter," (who was supposedly a licensed Veterinary Technician), who came to my house to take care of my 2 large dogs failed in numerous ways: --My dog's prescribed oral medication wasn't given, as evidenced by the full bottle that was there when I returned. --My dog didn't receive the sulphur baths that were prescribed for her skin condition, as evidenced by the foil seal that was still on the bottle when I returned. --The "Pet Sitter" lost my house key & contacted my Mother to borrow hers. Yet, when I got home, the door handle's keyhole had been jabbed through with some kind of tool--the keyhole was completed destroyed & I had to buy a new doorknob. --I arrived home at about 8pm & at 2am, the "Pet Sitter" & her boyfriend walked into my house DRUNK, to supposedly take care of my dogs! Her behavior was horribly unprofessional in every aspect! When I contacted the Owner of Ark Angel the next morning, she was unapologetic and made no attempt to smooth things over with me or compensate me for the broken doorknob. Additionally, she showed no concern that my dog's skin condition had worsened because of her Employee's s neglect! I was really shocked that the Owner of this pet sitting company didn't find her Employee's terrible behavior & neglect unacceptable! Walking into a Customer's house with her boyfriend, when they were obviously impaired & reeked of alcohol?!? Breaking a Customer's doorknob, despite having my Mother's copy of the key?!? Neglecting to give my dog her oral medication & prescribed baths?!? I paid a lot of money for them to "safely" care for my dogs so that I could have a worry-free vacation, but they failed us miserably!!

Also, I live in a particular zip code that for whatever reason excludes me-ever so slightly-from every other pet sitting company nearby. Not so with Ark Angels! Nancy (the owner) and her team were available, friendly, thorough and professional. I very highly recommend their services.

Luckily worked it…read moreout directly with our walker for now, and we will be paying her retroactively for the last month she wasnt paid to be on good terms, we put a stop payment on our card and only billed the month in advance.... . . they were such a good company and on my orginal reccomend review I liked them because they were local and I had more faith then a larger national company... . . we also almost booked almost $2,000 in services while we would be in Japan. so good, I can fly family members in to watch him for cheaper. and they wont be flakey, sketchy business owners.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. Prior to Jan I'd been using this company for about 5 years and they were…read morefantastic. However, early this month the company "changed ownership" and dropped clients and dog walkers without giving an explanation of any changes. They still have many people's prepaid money and have changed their email and stopped responding to phone calls or clients trying to figure out what is going on. They are still trying to operate as a company and take on new clients... save yourself the headache and ABSOLUTELY DO NOT signup to use their services.

I've been using Bone-A-Fide for over a year now so I can now leave an 'experienced review'. They…read moreare not like the others: Kato runs a very professional service. Yes, there are a lot of questions to answer and paperwork to do when you sign-up for service, but everything has a purpose and you'll be glad you went through the process so then, when you leave your pets in their care, you know they're in good hands. They keep you updated, follow through and go beyond the extra mile if needed (if you have pets you know what I mean). The only limitation is that she has a limited coverage area but if you're lucky enough to be within it, you won't find any better!

Their system/process is very thorough and makes me feel at peace when I'm away, knowing that have a firm understanding of our travel and kitties. Each visit they spend quality time interacting with our cats and send the best updates and photos. They've even surprised my cats with toys that they absolutely love. We always return home to happy kitties, full bowls, and a clean litter box. We are so relieved to have such a trustworthy and caring cat sitter(s) -- highly recommend!
