I received a call the day after Christmas, that my dog was howling in pain and couldn't get up. I…read moreasked if they could get him to a vet and they said no, I had to pick him up. When arrived they wanted to use ropes to lift him with due to so badly soiled. So we supplied our own blanket and carried him to car. He was in obvious pain, soiled, bleeding from mouth. He was immediately taken to animal hospital and advised had to be put down for fractured back and kidney issues. When asked for an explanation Randa immediately sent a refund saying upon my request, which was just for explanation. When followed up was told I can't sue because I signed a waiver, that it was my fault for boarding an older dog and not boarded before. I never made any accusations or asked for anything but an explanation. I'm so devastated I left my pet/family member in their care.

Animals are Sarah's passion. She was caring and conscientious from the first time she came over to meet our 'kids' (Bacon, George, and Qui) pics below! She asked about feeding, walking, sleeping, and overall quirks of our dogs. We rescue older dogs and they come with some special needs but mostly just spoiling. Sarah is so good at spoiling my only fear was our dogs would love her more than they love us. Lol! I can't say that was far from the truth. We are having Sarah again in July/August and I'm at ease booking our tickets because I know I have someone who will care for our dogs as well as we do and that's so nice!

I have never used a pet service...now I will never use anyone else!…read more I have never had a need for anyone to watch and feed my cat (or previous cats) as I always had a friend or neighbor willing. However, this time I needed someone for my vacation and I was more than pleased. Valerie explained things wonderfully and made me feel at ease. Sherrie watched my cat...sent pics, videos, and left me updates for each day. She even let me know when something was "amiss" at my house (i.e. car in my driveway). She kept in touch and made me feel very comfortable. I was very happy with her and am so happy to know that she will be my primary. The price was way more reasonable than I thought it would be.

HAPC responded right away on Yelp, took my information, made a home visit, and we were on our way! Vanessa the owner was a dream. She met my moms dog Louie and started walking him and I would get daily status emails and pics of Louie when they were out and about. What I also love about HAPC is that I didn't have to go through so many hoops and applications like some other companies who ask for way too much info, like your dogs blood type and your blood type etc. I kid, but really, HAPC makes the process go a lot easier than what's out there. If you need a reasonably priced, reliable, and trustworthy dog walking company, I would not hesitate to contact Home Alone Pet Care. I thank you Vanessa, you're a life saver!

They confirmed the dates scheduled, did everything we asked, our cat was well cared for, and was kind enough to even check our mail. We're quite pleased with A Paw Above the rest, will recommend them to anyone who needs a pet sitter, and will be sure to use them in the future.

What I experienced here was not just poor service--it was outright negligent and deceptive. I was…read morehit with unclear, questionable charges while the staff failed to properly explain what was even happening with my cat. Instead of taking the time to diagnose the issue, they jumped straight to prescribing expensive medication without any real understanding of her condition. Even worse, my concerns were repeatedly dismissed. I brought up specific symptoms, only to be ignored. Basic diagnostic steps--like a simple blood test--weren't even offered, which is both shocking and unacceptable for any veterinary practice. To top it off, they attempted to push an additional treatment that had nothing to do with my cat's actual symptoms an obvious attempt to squeeze out more money rather than provide proper care. I have zero confidence in their judgment or ethics. I would not trust this place with the care of any animal. Do yourself a favor and take your pet somewhere that actually prioritizes their health over profit.

We took our dog here for training, doggy daycare two days a week and boarding when we were out of town. It cost us thousands of dollars. Our pup successfully learned to sit and stay and lay down and all the other things you expect a dog to know. He will do pretty much anything for a treat. Everything was fine for several months. The feedback we received about our admittedly rambunctious dog was routinely positive. They regularly sent pictures and videos of him playing and having fun. Then some of the good, experienced staff left. In hindsight this should have been a big red flag for us. Apparently, most of the new and remaining staff doesn't know how to deal with animals. Suddenly, our dog, which they trained, was not well behaved enough for them. A few days later they called to say he is no longer welcome here. No conversation. No discussion of more training, if that was their actual concern. Nothing constructive to offer at all. They didn't even have the balls to do it in person. Don't waste your time! All they want is your money. They don't give a damn about your pets!
