I just terminated a relationship with Pet sitting by Denise due to what I would consider animal…read morecruelty. I should have left them when this happened the first time but it took me two times to learn my lesson. The sitter did not show up when supposed to and left both of my rescue pups to wallow in their feces and vomit. Both are house broken and one of them was able to hold it but the younger one could not. Our hearts were broken when we got home from work that day. We rescued them to remove them from these types of situations not put them back in them. I was a customer for over 9 months (4 times a week) and spent over $3000 with them. Assume nothing with them and use at your own risk, hopefully your pets will not be tortured as well. I usually don't do things like this, I just want to try to save the heartbreak for owners and potential poor treatment for your pets.

Can I give less than 1 star? We used Denise for about 5 times in a year and what started off as a…read moregood thing, became something that I was okay with (several rude comments that I overlooked) and ended terribly. I had to fire her mid-job and find a replacement while out of town. She threatened my dogs, called my parents (the emergency number) and was extremely rude and bossy to them, and then took her time returning the remainder of my money when I had to fire her mid-job and have someone else take over. I was half-way across the country at the time and worried sick. She charged my card in full before formally accepting the job, was rude, and her threats made our trip more torture than vacation. Use her at your own risk. Highly unprofessional.

She asked great questions and took copious notes. Every day we got a timely report and pictures to show how everything was going. Could not have asked for a better experience--especially for such a reasonable price (based on the length of stay each day; we opted for 30 minutes). She also took in the mail, attended to cat boxes when needed, and handled the outside trash cans. Wonderful experience and we will use again!

We always knew how Sadie was doing because Dawn was fantastic with communication and sending photos and/or videos on every visit. Our older dog needed special medication to manage her seizures along with being fed a special diet. Dawn even brought Sadie into an emergency vet very early in the morning on our last trip away because Sadie had difficulty standing and kept us informed every step of the way. If you are looking for an incredibly experienced pet sitter who genuinely loves animals and truly the animals love her (you can tell :) then look no further and book Dawn now! A++++ experience!

Lana and the team here have some of the most amazing and compassionate people that you can…read moreabsolutely trust to watch your fur-family member. We had a geriatric pet some years back, and they actually taught him (an old dog) a new trick while my wife and I were out of town. Now that I have retired from 22 years of active duty military service, I was blessed to be awarded a legitimate (lots of training, and from a good bloodline) Golden Retriever service dog. While she can legally go with me pretty much anywhere in the US, if my wife and I travel to remote locations (such as only accessible by small sea plane/helicopter) due to weight constraints and cabin size, we can't bring our "golden girl". Internationally, some countries don't recognize service dogs as well. So Dog Daze has us covered, and the prices are incredibly reasonable. The only downside is that if you do things last minute, you absolutely won't be able to use them as a resource, because responsible people, who love their dog more than you, planned ahead (sarcasm). On a serious note, plan early, but they can possibly accommodate emergency situations if it's not a busy holiday, especially if your pets shots/vaccines are already in their system. For active duty/veterans they offer 10% off. We really are fortunate to have DD as a Columbia resource, when immediate family or friends aren't able to.
