Great communication, sent us updates on how our kitties were doing and wasn't afraid to ask if they had a question.

We'll definitely hire WTW the next time we need a cat sitter.

Pam and her husband always take great care of my little Maltese mix. My dog was rescued from a…read moreshelter and was abused before animal control rescued him, which is why he doesn't easily trust people. He is also typically afraid of other dogs. By the time I came to pick him up from an over night stay at Pam's Pet Sitting, he was jumping in Pam's husband's lap and chasing the other dogs around the yard! I can always rest at ease whenever my dog is at Pam's. She also walks the dogs daily and makes sure they get plenty of exercise.

I got a new job and was in need of a dog walker. I heard about Pam so I thought I'd contact her…read moreabout my dogs. I met her and she seemed nice and all went well...that is until she presented me with a contract to sign. I know most dog daycare facilities have some sort of agreement to protect them from liability and I get that. However, when I wanted something added into the agreement stating that only Pam would give my dog medicine and that I didn't want her walked due to my dog's old age but she flat out refused. I wasn't sure why because it's not a big deal and I was ready to sign it and move on. If anything it provides security for me as a pet parent and also for her too. She just said she's take care of it and not to worry about it. Yeahhhh, sorry but that's not good enough for me. This should have been a red flag right there. I tried to ignore this but I couldn't get past that weird encounter so I had to take a hard pass on using her services. Eventually I was able to find another dog sitter for Molly who had no problem supporting my care plan for her. I hold no ill will towards her but because of my experience I can't recommend using Pam's dog daycare.

We have a new Lab rescue, a youngster, full of energy, and were looking for a dog walker we could…read moretrust as our pets are family to us. Since we lost our last elderly rescue, our former dog walkers had retired so we found Patti, who unlike others I had called, immediately got in touch with me and scheduled a "meet and greet" to see if she'd be a good fit for our house. I can't speak highly enough of her. She's caring, professional, definately has working knowledge of dog behavior and we can rely on her, even when we had to make a schedule change on short notice due to an unexpected work trip. Our Lab just loves her, and waits for her patiently as soon as she senses it's about "that time" (with the same precision as "it's dinnertime!"

Patti took excellent care of my dog and my two cats while I was out of town for a weekend, and she sent texts and photos each time she visited, so I felt connected to my fur babies while I was gone. She brought the mail in, cleaned the cat box, and she even left an Easter basket of dog, cat and people treats for my pets and my three kids--from the Easter Beagle. When she came by to return the keys, my dog went bananas and was so excited to see her! It was so nice to know all my pets were comfortable and cared for in my home, and not in a crate in a place that was strange to them. It was also nice to know my house still had a dog inside it while I was gone--I really appreciated that extra feeling of security. Patti is the best! We'll be calling her every time we need care for our pets.

The entire process from the familiarization virtual meet through the daily communications on each walk was easy and comforting. Lindsay really took the time to get to know me, the dogs' routines and preferences, my preferences, and everything in between. Jessica was our walker most visits and very clearly took excellent care of Beatrice and Violet. I looked forward to the daily updates that were not only thorough but thoughtfully wonderful each time. She was so considerate of being in our home which you'd never know anyone had even been in if she hadn't left the detailed notes about after visiting. She even brought in packages several times! The girls clearly loved their time with Out U Go and they'll be my go-to for all future needs.

I think of her as one of our dog's trainers. You're getting a lot for your money when you hire her because of this. Our dog was a rescue that was afraid of some people and objects, and Tamara helped refine his sense of trust through her training and conversations with us. She is definitely into collaborating with dog parents to make sure everyone is getting the best possible experience and growing and improving with time. She is also very communicative about walks, schedules and weather. There were several times that we would be approaching a school holiday and I wouldn't remember to cancel with Tamara, but she would contact me beforehand to confirm. I definitely have a strange walking schedule some weeks and Tamara was very patient with adjusting walks for the week to accommodate that, as well as having a great memory for those schedules. All in all, I'm so lucky to have found such a great service for my doggie.
