This was my first time hiring Bmore Cats and while it's clear many have enjoyed their services…read morebased on the glowing reviews, my experience was different. Ron watched my two cats for a week. I notified Ron by text before I left that my younger cat is very particular about the state of her litter box. If left un-scooped for more than 24 hours, she will likely urinate on the mats just outside the box. She's been taken to the vet multiple times for this issue and its nothing medical or anxiety-related, she is just very high maintenance (who can blame her - if I had to pee in a box everyday, I probably would be too). The week goes by and Ron sends me photos of my cats daily. I do notice, based on the alarm system, that each visit is only 10 minutes, sometimes even less. I was surprised by this since he charges $25 per visit. When I arrived home, the state of the litter boxes was abysmal. Both boxes were full and the mats just outside the boxes were covered in urine. Some spots were fresh and others had dried and been left for a while. Even the hardwood floor in front of the mats was covered in dried urine. I've actually never seen anything like it from my cats. I was horrified to think of my cats walking through their own filth day after day in order to use the litter box. Peeking into the trash can, it's unclear whether Ron cleaned the boxes at all since I didn't see any signs of discarded litter either. Usually the trash bag would be much more full after a week. I asked Ron about the mess. His response was denial, saying that he cleaned the boxes every visit. He also said "I always kept everything clean but didn't know how to clean up around the mats". I found this odd for a couple reasons: 1. If he knew the cat(s) were having accidents, why didn't he mention it to me? 2. If he didn't know how to clean up around the mats, why didn't he ask? There was zero communication on his part that anything was even amiss. Had he stayed longer than 10 minutes at a time, maybe he would've noticed the mess or cared to look under the sink for cleaning supplies and paper towels. The cats were fed and visited twice daily but whatever else occurred during those visits, I'm not sure. I find it hard to believe that the cats got much social interaction or playtime within 10 minutes. With basic responsibilities overlooked and poor communication all for a whopping $300 for the week, I will not be utilizing Bmore Cats in the future and unfortunately, can't recommend it to others.

Ron is the only one I can trust with my giant Maine Coon, Stella. I frequently have to travel…read moreabroad, and I feel very confident that my kitty is getting the attention, playtime, and care that she deserves. We use whatsapp to connect while I'm out of the country, and Ron sends me a ton of pics to show me how Stella is doing. One time, Stella decides to kill a wasp and Ron stayed back to make sure she doesn't swell up like a balloon. I can't thank him enough for taking such good care of my cat. She also loves getting brushed now thanks to him, so hopefully I'll have less fur floating around the house!

Luv My Pet is beyond the best! They have walked our dog Emilie for over four years and counting,…read moreand we recommend them to everyone. They are super responsible and have a great team, so we know a walk will never be cancelled. Even if our normal dog walker cannot make it, they schedule someone else, so we never have to worry that our dog will get walked! We can schedule, pay, change, and leave notes in the app, so it's super convenient as busy young professionals and new parents. Most importantly, their team is so caring. Luv My Pet has supported our senior dog through so many challenges - helping us to observe when she has had health issues of all varieties, offering encouragement and tips, and more. We cannot recommend Jeff and the team at Luv My Pet (especially our pup's bff and dogwalker, Hillary!) enough!

After his last great escape, I realized that he needed some exercise to break up the monotony of his day. I emailed Andy and he was kind enough to come out that day and meet Alfie (and us, the humans in Alfie's life.) Andy started coming the next day to run with Alfie and wear him out until we get home. It's only been a few weeks but so far, so good. Andy is a pleasure to deal with. He's communicative and great with both people and animals. We really can't thank him enough for everything he's done for us and for Alfie.

As always, he did a fabulous job - she was fed, entertained, and treated like the Royal Highness that she is. I had written some detailed instructions this time because of certain changes that had occurred since their last visit, and everything went smoothly and exactly as planned. To top it off, Dan actually let me know that I had overpaid them and said that he would credit my account for a future vacation - now that, my friends, is honesty. As far as I'm concerned, they can keep that money as a tip, because they surely deserve it. I am so glad that I selected Dog Day Afternoon as my pet sitting provider. As you can see by the other reviews, they're unmatched in both care and customer service.

I even set him up him a large patch of grass out there. He's just not getting it. In comes Lori. She walks several dogs in the community that I live in and comes highly recommended. She's been a lifesaver for Toby! He has used the porch potty on a few occasions but he's not consistent. He'll hold it, but I feel bad making him wait all day. Lori is great with dogs. She'll come and walk Toby and send me pictures telling me how their visit went. If you need a dog walker, Lori is your gal! She's the dog whisperer.

Lori knows who Kacy's friends are in the building so sometimes she will walk them together, and they love it! It tires them out and they have fun. I always leave a frozen Kong with peanut butter for Kacy, and Lori never forgets to give it to her before she leaves. When Kacy is sick or not feeling good, Lori will check on her and update me with how she is doing. When I'm running late from work or something comes up during a work day, Lori will come walk Kacy. Kacy loves her so much!! I would recommend Lori to anyone who has a dog. She is so sweet and plays with the dogs, and is very attentive.

When I called and checked on my Charlie, the staff was pleasant and told me all about the ways they connected with Charlie which made me very happy I picked Woofs and Wags.

Never ever again. Their kennel cleanliness is perhaps non-existent…read more Boarded my guys for 2.5 days and he came back hacking and coughing. Had to take him to the urgent vet clinic and my baby has kennel cough. He received a bath I didn't ask for which has me concerned about the care and observation he received. I've been leery of the spot for some time after a few uses because there is no grass for him to pee or play. I've tried to overlook this, but how? Does he just go on the floor? Or in their kennels? In addition the owner's rude and dismissive disposition leaves much to be desired and much to avoid at all cost. Only because 1 or 2 of the front desk workers are kind do I feel regret for having to write this , but never will I ever subject my baby or myself to that facility. My dog's emergency vet bill, the poor care, and the lackluster customer service from the owner has me sold on never returning. An observation: a reviewer from just few days ago, 14 to be exact, made a similar complaint. Perhaps stop refuting the claim and review and clean a bit better, and treat your patrons like supporters and not the enemy. It's on you.

From leash skills to preparing for a new baby, he addressed every concern with patience, expertise, and real results. Our dog had a strong prey drive and would lunge at squirrels, birds--basically anything that moved. Walks were stressful and chaotic. After working with Tom, we now enjoy calmer, controlled walks, and continue to work in high-distraction areas. Obedience was another focus--commands like "come," "place," and especially "down" have become reliable, and working still in challenging situations. Tom really emphasized consistency and practice for best results, which helped a lot! Overall, Tom gave us the tools and confidence we needed to help our dog thrive in a changing household. He clearly loves dogs, but just as importantly, he knows how to teach humans. If you're looking for help with obedience, leash manners, behavioral quirks, or preparing for a baby, Tom is absolutely worth it.
