Definitely would have been worth full price without the deal she was offering. I tend to suck at getting my picture taken, especially when I'm on the spot. Even at my own wedding when I was otherwise having a great time, the photography session was a pain because I just couldn't seem to smile without looking like a creep. So I was very worried about paying someone to spend an hour trying unsuccessfully to get me to look into a camera and smile and not look like an idiot. I needn't have worried. I was immediately at ease with Portia, and she made the whole experience fun. It was almost as if the fact that there was a camera in the room was irrelevant -- we were just having a good time. In the end there was a plethora of excellent shots and the only problem was trying to limit myself to three (that particular deal limited it to three digital prints). The rest of the experience, the logistics, scheduling, payment, etc., was all very smooth and uneventful. I will definitely return to her next time I need any kind of studio-quality photography.

She took the time to understand my pets' unique needs, personalities, and routines. Whether it was feeding schedules, playtime, or simply offering comfort and companionship, she handled everything with remarkable attentiveness and care. One of the standout qualities of Melanie is her exceptional communication. She kept me updated with daily text messages and pictures of my cats, providing peace of mind while I was away.

We finally have a pet sitter that allows us to enjoy our vacations without worrying about our six (now seven) beloved animals.

A huge plus are the daily updates. The photos and descriptions of interactions are so reassuring and fun to get. And the fact that our pets are content and relaxed when we return is basically our pets writing their own review. So happy we found Fluffed Pet Care!
