Cats By The Coast took the best care of my two cats for several days and was so kind to send me photos of them each day.

This updated rating has nothing to do with the care of my cats but issues with Susan…read more Two months ago, I needed cat sitting so I scheduled via Susan's portal. The day I was slated to leave my flight time changed so I advised Susan that am that if it worked for her I actually didn't need sitting that day-- she told me to mention changes of plans in the past in the event it works for her but no guarantees of cancelling/credit if it was less than 24 hrs notice. She responded with a one liner that she'd still be coming that am--no problem just informing her per her prior request to. Fast forward to the last day of cat sitting. I had gotten very ill with food poisoning while traveling and missed part of my daughter's graduation weekend having to head home early. I didn't mention it to Susan because #1- I was very sick #2 she was kinda short in her message to me the few days before when I followed her instructions to let her know of any changes. She showed up and I hauled myself out of bed to let her know I was upstairs and back early sick and she was startled. Then she practically scolded me in my own home for not telling her because she had some other cat in her care she needed to take to the vet for an emergency. So I said if there was an emergency and she needed to go that was ok or she could stay as scheduled. Up to you I said. She chose to leave. Fast forward to last week. I asked if I could use the credit from the visit she left to cat sit this week. She replied that I had no credit and she wasn't available anyway-- again very short. When I reminded her she chose for a day I paid for she wrote some nonsense that she had already tended to the ill cat, was surprised by me being home and that she doesn't cat sit with anyone in the house. I didn't even come downstairs I was too sick. Anyway, message received. You want things your way and have no real concern for your clients. I requested my key back but she did not respond. After a few days I tried to message her but she blocked me from her portal. I texted her and she wrote that she'd be sending the key back with a check for the day she chose to leave. Good but I'm sorry, you have a key to someone's house and you don't respond to them for days and only when they contact you again that's really wrong. Anyway-- wouldn't recommend her because of her lack of professionalism and self serving attitude.

Courtney is an amazing instructor. I had an 8 yo dachshund that I couldn't get to do anything. She…read moretaught me how to use a safe zone on a rug to make him comfortable, walk near other dogs without barking, come, stay and then went into training tricks. She is all positive reinforcement. Never once yelled or hit the dog. Treats, treats and more treats. My dog isn't food motivated either so she had me use his breakfast and dinner for training. Worked like magic. I highly recommend Courtney for all your dog training needs. She's the best!

We found Slinky Cat at Home and have been so pleased with them! Our cats are seniors and the Slinky Cat staff understands them.

They handle food and water but also sit and give our seniors attention which is super important when we are on long trips.

When I sent a text, simply asking "How's (name of dog) this morning? To prompt her to get to my house, without being confrontational while out of town. Pamela took 30 minutes to send the SAME PHOTO she sent the day before of my dog on a walk - SAME PHOTO! I let it go and was sick to my stomach unable to eat breakfast on my vacation. I was hoping my text would prompt her to get to my house and feed my dog and take her for a walk. My dog must have felt so alone, scared and abandoned. Over an hour later, she enters my house, 4 hours after she was due to be there; and feeds the dog and takes her on a SHORT walk. All on video! She was supposed to come twice a day. Thankfully, my dog had a doggie door. When I called her to ask for my key back, I recorded the conversation on my video camera and confronted her. This crazy lunatic had the audacity to state, "you don't trust anyone" and started yelling at me! Um, YOU ARE ON VIDEO Pamela, VIDEO DOES NOT LIE! You must secretly hate dogs and want them to suffer. You did not show up for 17 HOURS, when (dog's name) has a set schedule you agreed to AND WERE PAID IN ADVANCE. We had a SIGNED CONTRACT you breached. Videos don't lie! Then, an hour after my text, asking how (name of dog) is, Pamela shows up, after sending a photo from the day before, acting she had already been there. The video camera is prominent on a wall in my living room, and I'm on video myself, pointing it out to her. I used Pamela for years, with 2 different dogs, and I shudder at the thought of what my pets (former and current) went through in her care, BEFORE I had video cameras. STAY THE HECK AWAY FROM PAMELA if you care anything about the health, care, and welfare of your pet! She is a despicable human being and a LIAR. Who clearly takes the money and allows animals to SUFFER. I have video, audio, and photo proof. Tell everyone you know! If you didn't already cash the check, Pamela, I would have stopped the payment.
