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...

Leaving our dog in Isabel's care was a game-changer for us. We often struggle to find care for our…read moredog because she can be unpredictable with other dogs, so boarding her is no longer an option for us. Isabel came to our house 3x times a day for an hour each time and provided lengthy walks and stimulating play/activities. Our dog was tuckered out and clearly happy in her care - evident by the photo updates we received where our dog looked like she was actually smiling! It is clear that Isabel loves animals, but she goes above and beyond through her social media channels by providing useful training information and photo updates for pet parents. We look forward to using her service again and highly recommend her to others!

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.

She…read morehelped us with several issues over the last two weeks and we continue our sessions to reinforce learned behaviors. We met with Pamela while discussing the possibilities of socialization for our 9-month-old puppy. She asked more questions, quickly understood the things we wanted to work on, and suggested the best plan that fitted the needs of our puppy and our lifestyle. Over the last two weeks, she met with the puppy, took him to different places, assessed his reaction to people and other dogs, and build fundamentals of better reactions. After two training sessions, I noticed how much more responsive my puppy is and how less he is nervous about distractions on walks. She also gave us a lot of advice regarding jumping (before that we tried multiple methods and those have not been as effective), counter surfing, how to redirect out puppy energy into useful work, so on. Pamela is a very experienced trainer and we are looking forward to learning more from her and our collaboration.

And while my pet care needs were not for the typical reason of vacation travel, but rather due to my surgical procedure and post-op recovery at home, my experience offers an especially accurate assessment of this professional's level of expertise, since I was present during all of her visits! Moreover, having two adult Salukis not at ease with unknown humans and requiring considerably more daily exercise than the average family pet, I had ruled out several perspective pet-sitting companies before interviewing Lynn, who was the only candidate who understood that if a sighthound manages to get loose, chances are slim that it will survive automobile traffic, due to its athletic speed and desire to chase small wildlife. Her rapport with my two aloof girls was miraculous, and there was never any doubt that they were safe in her care. It is no exaggeration to say that I would have cancelled my surgery if not for Lynn's Compassionate Care!
