The pet sitter who was assigned was Kim. She spent plenty of time with the cats and made sure they were well cared for while I was away. The visit reports they leave are really cute as well. Could not have gone smoother! I'd also like to add that they were available with very short notice (3 other pet sitting companies were unable to handle our request). Also want to add that Stewart (when he came for the home visit) was wearing a mask and gloves to protect against COVID (a welcome sight). Pet owners would should have their minds at ease if they select Love Those Paws. If I go on vacation again (few and far between these days) I would definitely use them again!

We've been using Love Those Paws since 2015 to watch our cockatiels when we go on vacation. It is…read moremuch less expensive than boarding them at the vet and less stressful for the animals. The sitters vary but all are enthusiastic based on the reports they leave. After every visit the sitter leaves a note of when they came and left and what they did. They also usually text us an update and a picture of our birds. We come back to a stack of reports. The sitter stays a while after the food, water, and paper are changed to make sure the birds aren't acting weird, and I hear that some singing goes on. We've never had a problem and have be accommodated at very short notice when we want to go away for the weekend. I highly recommend this company. 1/27/20 Update: Just used them again during a ten day trip to Hawaii. I'm pretty sure our birds are in love with Alex, who came for most oF the visits. Now they are just stuck with us. As always, a great experience and we love being able to travel without any worries.

I used to be very anxious about leaving my house for extended trips but they bring in my mail and check around the house for any 'gifts' my guy has left behind. One experience comes to mind as a huge help. I was on a plane coming back from London and my kitchen ceiling started to flood. They found a bucket in the house and put it under the drips, called me, and sent a video to my phone. When I landed I was able to schedule a plumber right away to meet me at the house. By having the bucket in place they prevented untold damage to the kitchen and basement. They've been easy to schedule and work with and respond quickly to e-mails. When I come home my little dude is always happy, well fed, and has plenty of water in his dish. If I wasn't moving far away, I'd definitely continue using their service. If you're looking for a pet sitting service, this is the one you should choose.

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.
