Yes, there are a lot of questions to answer and paperwork to do when you sign-up for service, but everything has a purpose and you'll be glad you went through the process so then, when you leave your pets in their care, you know they're in good hands. They keep you updated, follow through and go beyond the extra mile if needed (if you have pets you know what I mean). The only limitation is that she has a limited coverage area but if you're lucky enough to be within it, you won't find any better!

Their system/process is very thorough and makes me feel at peace when I'm away, knowing that have a firm understanding of our travel and kitties. Each visit they spend quality time interacting with our cats and send the best updates and photos. They've even surprised my cats with toys that they absolutely love. We always return home to happy kitties, full bowls, and a clean litter box. We are so relieved to have such a trustworthy and caring cat sitter(s) -- highly recommend!

I wish I could give this company 5 stars. They are responsive and it's obvious that they love…read moreanimals. I called them bc we need care for our two dogs this summer. One of our dogs gets very anxious and aggressive around new people. It takes a long time for him to recognize new people as being safe. One of the caregivers came over for a temperament test and it didn't go well at all. I had high hopes that they could work with him but I quickly realized that they couldn't, and she agreed. The issue is the there is no guarantee that the same sitter will come to your home to watch your pets. I contacted them several months in advance and they still could not work with me to have one person watch my dogs. I understand that this is how they run their business and respect it. That said, I would only recommend them if your dogs are not anxious like mine and are okay with different people coming over to watch them.

They came out to meet the cats and get the instructions for the meds, etc. and off we went. Our friend noticed that "old cat" wasn't doing so hot, but was unable to leave work to take "old cat" to the vet immediately, so we were about to turn the car around and drive the 300 miles back, rather than finishing our vacation. That's when my wife saw that Kelly's Critters offered pet transportation too. We called and they took "old cat" to the vet and no exaggeration-saved his life. They started some new meds and "old cat" is on the mend. The cute videos they send when they visit are precious. They saved the kitty, and I think they saved my wife's heart and sanity. The quality of care was amazing and we'll definitely use them again.

They video taped the cats hanging out and getting lots of attention and sent it to me while we were gone. I actually got home a bit early, so it was terrific that Justin could give lots of attention to my male cat (who obviously adored him and wouldn't stop rubbing up against his legs) while I brought my stuff in. Justin even offered to help me unload, but it was even better to see how much the cats loved them! I would recommend them to anyone who has to leave their homes -- it's reassuring to know that pet sitting isn't just a 'job' to them -- they love animals!

We recently moved to Wake Forest from Dallas,Tx and began a search for both pet sitters and…read morekennels. In Dallas we were fortunate to always have family near by to take care of our dog but since moving we do not have that luxury. We visited several different boarders/kennels but felt more comfortable leaving our dog at home. Once Irene came to our house to meet us and Rudy, we knew right away we wanted to go with Irene. Rudy normally barks at strangers but not Irene. We were out of town for about 16 days, and this is the first time we've left our dog for this long. Irene came twice each day to walk and play with Rudy as well as take care of other things like turning on lights, getting the mail, taking out garbage etc. She did a fantastic job. She kept a daily journal that kept track of what she did and what Rudy did as well. We received text messages letting us know that everything was ok. We also had a situation come up that she needed to handle that involved finding documents in our house, making copies and overnighting a package which she did without delay which was very important to us. Highly recommend Irene and we will definitely be using her in the future.

It turned out I found out I am traveling for the holiday and needed to find someone to watch my kitty. I was lost. It was a week from Christmas making finding an opening a Herculean task. Enter Yelp and all of the great businesses! I found the reference for Phoebe's and really liked what I read. I called to make an appointment and the owner Melissa got right back to me. We set an appointment to meet the next day in the afternoon and she would bring the sitter. I was nervous because while my girl is friendly, she is VERY particular. I didn't have to worry. She immediately took to Sheena putting all of my anxiety to rest. They both asked great questions on my cat's care and wanted to know everything on how to give the best care. They went over everything from food to litter to cost...which considering the timing is not bad. It's $20 per visit and they would cover everything from feeding to getting the mail to taking out the trash. If you need to leave town and need someone to take care of your beloved fur baby...don't hesitate! I'm sure Melissa and her crew will be more than happy to take on the job!

I was nervous about changing companies when we moved here but Melissa is by far the best person we…read morehave EVER had care for our Westies. I initially chose her because of her RVT background. On the initial interview she blew me away with her questionnaire. She was very specific about learning their habits and asked about the pet emergency kit! That's when I knew she was serious! She's been doing daily walks for over a year. My husband and I are nurses and we have ever changing schedules and Melissa has shown so much flexibility with us. I feel so lucky to have her daily medical and behavioral assessments. She has helped us enrich the lives of our dogs by making suggestions for treat puzzles, stroller for my old man dog, minimizing competitive behaviors, and urgent trips to the vet. I can't emphasize her influence here enough. She truly cares about the physical and mental health of the boys. She takes extra special care of my elderly 17 year old man dog. They love her so much they howl when they see her drive up! She is also quite the photographer. It's wonderful to receive pictures of my boys enjoying their day with her while I'm at work. Many of them are "frame-worthy." We feel so lucky to have gotten a spot with Melissa, peace of mind with your pets is priceless! I also want to say that Melissa found an injured turtle in my neighbor's driveway. She took it to NCState for treatment. She is an angel!
