I can't say enough good things about Purrific Pet Sitting. Jamie has been our cat sitter for over a…read moreyear now and I don't want to even imagine what it would be like to not have her care for our kitties when we travel. I knew she was the perfect sitter when she came by for the initial meet and greet and she already remembered their names and their personalities, likes/dislikes, and special needs, based on the write-up I provided. The kitties gave their immediate approval when they came out from hiding and actually greeted her with head bumps and asked for more petting. For cat owners, you know that's the best you can get. My husband and I miss our pets dearly when we go away even for a weekend, but with the daily updates with pictures it provides us with a world of relief so that we can actually relax on vacation.. and I'm a bit of a worry wart too so that says a lot!

I just can't say enough about how AMAZING Samantha is in taking care of our little Toonces. We went…read moreaway for a long 4 day weekend, and he was so cozy and comfortable with her at Camp Purrific. We will always have Sam and her Dad watch our boy for any time away (space is limited, so reserve ahead of time). Toonces also has to have an inhaler 2x a day, and she took care of his every need. We are now relaxed going away on vacation knowing he has his "Auntie Sam" and Papa Tom (this is how we now refer to them both), to spend his days while we're away. My husband and I can't thank her enough...THE BEST!

All of my friends know I am a huge purchaser of online coupons, Groupon, Bloomspot, HomeRun,…read moreFreshGuide, you name it, so I was thrilled when my inbox had a special for City Tails. It was $50 for $100 worth of pet services. At first I was concerned it was only for dog walking but I read the fine print and realized it also was good for pet sitting. Score! So for $100 I was able to have four pet sitting visits. It's the perfect amount of time to see if it's a good fit for you and your animal. Labor Day weekend was approaching and I knew I had to schedule sooner rather than later. I sent a quick email request and met the ladies a couple days later. Upon meeting, I was incredibly impressed with Lauren and Renee! They loved Finley and Fin seemed to really like them too! :-) I walked them through my house, pointing out any areas where Fin gets into mischief, did a quick summary on feeding and litter box maintenance and signed the City Tails wavers. I felt completely at easy while I was away. I came home to a happy kitty and a nice note from Lauren and Renee. Without a doubt, I will be calling on City Tails again to look after Finley when I'm away!

In the past few weeks we have used City Tails services 5 times and they will be our only walkers in…read morethe city from now on. It is so comforting to know when I go out that our sweet dachshund is so well care for. I was recommended to City Tails from friends, and heard that they were trustworthy and really loving. It turned out to be beyond true. Renee even left us a note with how everything went the first day, and one day when our pup was a bit lethargic, she stayed longer to play with her and keep her company. I am SO grateful their services exist (and are right around the corner from where we live!). They really are the best dog walking service hands down !!!

The one thing that really stands out to me about Leah and David is that whenever we return from being out of town, my cat has always been so relaxed and happy. In the past, she would seem to sulk and hide or be stressed out and take a day or two to go back to normal. Maybe she was mad at us for going away! Ever since we met Leah and David, when we return a long trip my cat is just so normal! They've been brushing her so she's extra silky, too. Leah is a true professional, so the communication is 100%. I recall being a little overwhelmed at the amount of information and paperwork we had to exchange before my first trip (but isn't getting ready to travel like that!) but now that we've got everything established, it's so seamless to go out of town. It's a great feeling to have one less thing to worry about when I have to travel! Actually, two fewer things because my cat's not stressed out either ;-)

I highly recommend Kate's Kitty Sitting Service as the perfect cat sitter to take care of your cat…read more I began using Kate's service during two trips we took over the holiday season and her services were amazing. Kate took care of our cat Lily for over 10 days during this period and visited Lily either once or twice each day. For every single visit, we received a text message from Kate describing her play time with Lily and how Lily was behaving. Amazingly - we also received multiple text photos of Lily during Kate's visits!! I have used multiple cat sitters over the years and my biggest concerns have always been whether and how long the sitter was at the house taking care of Lily, with Kate's many emails and pictures, I know she is there when promised and playing with our cat. I also gained extreme confidence from my first meeting with Kate's Kitty Sitting Service as she had a thorough "meet and greet" meeting with us and Lily before we left for our first vacation. Kate asked numerous questions about Lily's favorite toys, hiding places, games, veterinarians and mannerisms. Besides seeing how well Kate would take care of Lily, it was also very comforting to know that she was a great person and that our house would be safe! While I am usually worried about Lily when away from home, it was great to relax knowing that Lily was healthy and safe......and that Lily was having a fun time playing with her new Aunt Kate! We will definitely use Kate again when we travel!!

For a fee that I consider a steal (especially compared to boarding), Kate came to our house for a…read morepre-visit, then came by 3 times over the weekend to check on our cats, give them food and water, played with them, and even cleaned up a hairball (above and beyond the call of duty!). She also sent us an e-mail with a photo and an update on the boys on Saturday. On the pre-visit, she had a sheet to write down the details on the cats, including their vet's phone number, their names, and feeding instructions. She was friendly and inspired confidence, which is important when you're handing over the keys to your house and your cats' well-being to a stranger :) She also offered to do all kinds of extra things, like water plants. And, she did all this on less than a week's notice, which I really appreciated. This was the first time we'd had anyone cat-sit our two boys, Jack and Ralph. We've taken them previously to Cats' Inn in Belmont and to Pet Smart in San Carlos--and while the people there were nice and all, the hassle of proving immunizations, paranoia about them finding a flea (and rejecting the cats hours before we would be boarding a plane), and the drive with two unhappy, confused kitties was always harrowing. I loved coming home to find them calm and happy, and I will definitely call on Kate again to watch our kitties.

Michele and Lauren take such great care of our kitties and chinchilla. We've gone on several…read morevacations (some of which were longer than a week), and we've felt more than comfortable leaving them in Michele's care. On one occasion, one of our cats was ill, and we were about to go on honeymoon... Michele and Lauren administered medications and came by twice a day to take care of our "babies." Our cat was totally healthy by the time we came home. What a relief! They leave a detailed pet diary for us to read when we get home, and on the longer trips, they'll email us with photos and progress! Furthermore, they bring in the mail and packages, and I'm pretty sure they'll water plants (we don't have any) and adjust lights and curtains so your house looks lived-in. Michele has also given us some great suggestions on food, and she spoils our kitties with new toys almost every time we're gone. It's priceless to have the peace of mind that Michele and crew offer. It's so much better than dealing with putting the cats in a kennel or leaving them with a friend or family member. Highly recommended.
