We had Auntie Carol watch our lovable dog for three days recently when we went out of town. Carol…read moreand one of her amazing employees came to our house to meet with us and our dog before our trip. Both women were incredibly friendly and put us at ease immediately. They even got down on the ground and played with our dog to make sure he was comfortable with them. They went through a series of questions and were incredibly professional and prepared. We were given a confirmation for their services and were able to pay online (which was very convenient)! During our trip, we received daily updates and pictures of our dog. Carol brought in our mail and packages as well! At first, we were nervous to leave our dog at home, but were SO comforted by Carol's attentive communication with us. We actually felt like our dog was being cared for by a family member! Without a doubt, we will continue to use Carol AND strongly recommend her to anyone needing pet boarding/pet sitting or dog walking services. You will not be disappointed.

We used this service several years ago, but after hearing from a friend about a coworker's sketchy…read moresituation with another pet sitting service, it made me think about our pleasant experience with this one. We have two cats and wanted them to stay at home while we were traveling, since boarding them can be such a stressful experience. We were looking for a personal recommendation or word of mouth service, but we weren't having much luck, so ended up approaching Home Sweet Home really last minute. The owner Jessica was really accommodating, came to see our place and go over everything. It was definitely a little nerve wracking to trust our pets and place to someone we just found on the internet, but it went really well. They offered to do other things to help out during visits to the home, like retrieve our mail and making our place looked lived in. The woman taking care of our cats left notes about how the cats were doing, how they were eating, which we really appreciated. The furballs were in good shape when we got home, the litter boxes were clean, etc. If we were still living in their area of service, we definitely would consider using them again if we needed pet care.

In fact, they probably walked our dog (black lab) more times in one day than we normally do because of our work schedules. Home Sweet Home's rates are very reasonable and they truly care about your pet's well being. I read a previous review by Franz F and felt that I needed to post a review based on our multiple positive experiences. Being a business owner myself, I understand that it is not always easy to hire the perfect employee every time, but I also know that Ms. Jessica has high standards and expects her employees to treat their customers the same way she would expect to be treated if the roles were reversed and if they do not, she fixes the situation immediately. Also, I have noticed that she is actively involved in the community...especially in terms of animals and pets. She has worked with different agencies to help pets receive food and medical treatment for families that may be financially challenged in these tough economic times. She also holds fund raisers for animals. The way she cares about people and their pets is truly special and she is not doubt one in a million. We will continue to utilize her services time and time again and we would recommend her services to anyone with a pet.

They watch after our 3 cats when we are not in town and they never fail to give us daily updates on the services they provided, pictures of the cats and any concerns that have come up. Twice Simply Pets has really gone above and beyond for us - once when I had a family emergency and they did everything they could to fit us in last minute. More recently we were out of the country when our furnace gave out and Kelsie & Josie did everything from turning on our space heaters to finding alternate housing (in case the furnace couldn't be repaired soon). They kept us informed every step of the way and what's more important, did everything to keep our cats safe and comfortable. I feel very comfortable having the staff at Simply Pets watch our cats - from scheduling, to billing to the way they interact with pets, you simply can't ask for more.

This time, I asked for one night and a bath/cut, quoted at $325 and charged $576. My directions were to cut the dogs as short as the groomer was comfortable with, knowing that my Australian Shepherds are double coat dogs and every groomer I've taken them too refuses to go any shorter than 2". They shaved my dogs down to the skin, and then sent a picture asking if they took off enough....as if I'm able to say "please put some back on". They fought with me every step of the way and lie about their service and pricing. I'd be amazed if they were actually licensed to groom dogs. They are rude, insulting, and refuse to apologize for any of their absurd actions. For the safety of all pets in the area, they should close shop and find something new to do. 1 star because I can't put 0.
