I reached out to Amy's Pet Butler at the very last minute before our week long trip to New Mexico…read more I had been debating for a couple of weeks whether to put my 2 cats in boarding. One of my cats does not do well being put into a carrier so I was really stressed out about having to cart my babies to a boarding location. I decided to try pet sitting and called a few local pet sitters and had to leave messages for 4. Only 1 called back and Stacy's picked up when I called. Stacy and Amy were very nice and accommodating and were able to put us on the schedule starting the very next day (I'm a procrastinator). Stacy came over each day and took great care of my two cat babies and texted me pics for most of the days she visited. I was able to enjoy my vacation easier knowing my cats were in their own home being visited, played with, fed and watered. I will definitely use Amy's Pet Butler again!

Gusto Dogs is really the best! I first contacted Kristen when I moved downtown, and my biggest…read moreconcern was not being able to come home in the afternoons to take my dog out. Kristen and David (one of Gusto's dog walkers, and really, like, the greatest guy) came out to my apartment to meet my dog and set up a game plan. Everything clicked. I wasn't worried about not being there for my dog, and even more important, my dog was happy. But it's been all of the extra stuff that really makes these guys the best. 1) They're pros. These are not neighborhood kids trying to make extra money over the summer. I have absolutely no incidents to speak of. My dog is safe and happy when he's with them. 2) They go out of their way to provide the best service. Whenever I've had to make a last-minute change in my schedule, they've ALWAYS found a way to work around it so they can be there when I need them, even going so far as to rearrange their own schedules. One weekend, my fiance and I had overlapping trips and neither of us would be home for a 24-hour period. Kristen and the team were ready with a plan for swinging by throughout the day, making sure our dogs were fed, taken out, played with, and then put to bed. Oh, and my fiance's dog -- a very big ridgeback mix -- had just undergone serious knee surgery and had a strict medication schedule. No sweat for these guys. When I got home, everyone was happy and healthy. 3) Speaking of my fiance... it actually took me a little while to convince him that it was worth it to get his dog out for the daily walks. He had gone two years without needing someone to take his dog out in the afternoon, why pay someone to start doing it now? But it only took a week for us to notice a difference. His dog is BIG and VERY energetic, but with a 20-30 minute walk in the middle of the day, he's much calmer when we get home from work. Still a big barrel of fun and energy, but not running laps around the coffee table. 4) (And last one, promise) Our dogs love these guys. Their reaction when David shows up is hilarious. It's like their super-fun uncle just got there to take them out. As a dog owner, it makes me really happy to see my dog so happy. So, like I said, the Gusto team is amazing. We plan on using their services as long as they're offered (hopefully, forever). Could not recommend more highly.

Gusto Dogs even has a special little helper who loves to give plenty of gentle pets when she has the chance to visit. They are insured, reliable, trustworthy, and so compassionate about animal care. I never worry for a second when we are away from home.

Short story:…read more Rachael is DA BOMB of pup walking and care! We wouldn't trust Dixie and Dylan to ANYBODY else! She's seriously that good, y'all! (Very) Long story: I first met Rachael when my brand-new hubby left on his deployment to Afghanistan last July! As a lot of you can probably imagine, I was freaked out, super-sad, and totally overwhelmed with now having to handle everything in our big house that darling hubby *sobs* usually handled, including pool cleaning, lawn mowing, and dog walking! So, I did what anybody else would have done, and I took to Yelp and scoured the reviews to find a pool cleaner, a lawn mower, and, most importantly, a dog walker for the year! Our precious rescues, Dixie, a harrier hound, and Dylan, an Australian Shepherd, are leash-reactive and rather rambunctious on their best day! We can only truly drain their energy by heroic hubby flying his drone at Camp Mabry, as they chase it across the field for miles. That clearly wasn't going to be happening for a year because my drone-flying skills are very non-existent. Enter Rachael. She walked into our lives and literally changed everything! Our rowdy fur babies took to her immediately, I took to her immediately, and she immediately put a plan together! She was so calm, kind, professional, and competent that I relaxed right away. I just knew that we were in excellent hands! We decided on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday walks, and I handed over our house key without hesitation! Over the course of that deployment year and those thrice-weekly walks, Rachael not only morphed our silly pups into seriously-civilized pups, but she kept an eye on the house like a fierce Mama Bear, brought in Amazon Prime packages, watered plants, scooped poop, dumped the pool leaf basket, drove the pups to grooming and vet appointments, and just took care of anything that she saw that needed taking care of! Dix and Dyl both manifested missing their Daddy in different ways. Dylan, being pretty anxious and OCD, started licking his paws incessantly (Cone of Shame, anyone?), and Dixie, being a champion Houdini, started jumping the fence, and, after I put up fancy 8 foot fences to stop her, she started eating the fence. I honestly wouldn't have been able to maintain my sanity through all of that without Rachael! She worked side by side with me through ALL of that! To call her a lifesaver would be an understatement! So, as I write this, the year has finally ended, and my precious hubby has finally returned safely to me! Thank you, Baby Jesus! He's taken back over the pool cleaning duties and the lawn mowing duties, and we're back to drone-flying at Mabry with the happy pups, but do you know the one person whom we absolutely intend to hang onto from the deployment days? Rachael, of course! She's an indispensable part of our lives now! On top of the three walks a week, she takes care of them during hubby and my frequent romantic staycations, and she just worked hand in hand with our awesome neighbor to hold down the fort during our 8 day honeymoon in Cancun! She's grown her company in the course of this last year, and she has quite a dog-walking team now, but she hires impeccable people, and she keeps a SHARP eye on the whole operation! Everyone that works for her is top-notch! We trust Rachael COMPLETELY with our house and our pups, and y'all should, too! We will NEVER be without her! Thank you SO much for everything, Rachael! We love you! Love, Natalie, Chris, Dixie, and Dylan

4 YEAR UPDATE: These guys are so great. Deanna is ridiculously and awesomely accommodating and…read morereally took a ton of time to revisit with my boy (and my new girl!) when I moved to a different location and needed a new sitter/walker. She really let's me talk as much as I need to feel better that all bases are covered (even when I know I talk way too much). Deanna is very concerned over her clients satisfaction and the happiness of our furry children. My new sitter is Nicky and so far I'm really happy with her. She saw my dogs on time, sends me photos, texts me about them and even grabbed my trash for me. She accommodates any silly or piddly request of mine with no problem. THANK YOU! :) I have not tried their boarding/overnight services yet but I can confidently say their walking and playtime visits have always been great. Deanna and Brian have even covered for their sitters on the extremely rare occasion an emergency happens and the sitter can't show so that I am NEVER left high and dry. I can't appreciate that enough! Call these guys. They are great. They will find a sitter you are happy with and make sure you are comfortable (because let's face it these are our kids with 4 legs).

The thought of having a stranger in our home while we weren't there was a hurdle for us. When Leigh came for the preliminary visit, we instantly knew that having her watch our fur babies was a great choice. They liked her immediately, which does not always happen, and my husband and I knew that our dogs would be much happier in their own home under her care. Near the end of the meet and greet, she asked if we would like her to take out the trash, water the plants, or pick up the mail! Honestly, I was floored! Not only did the standard and even holiday price cover both dogs, was less expensive than boarding, saved us a trip to drop them off and pick them up, but she was also offering additional services. Oh, and I certainly did NOT miss that kennel smell on the dogs when we returned home. Each visit we received an update on how our dogs were doing along with pictures of their smiling faces, which we shared with our family while we were visiting. Leigh was always on time, extremely professional and I would highly recommend using FETCH! Pet to anyone needing someone to watch over their pets.

We have 100% confidence in Melissa and her team and want to share our experience because - when we were looking for long-term pet sitting - we didn't have any recommendations to help us. Five-star details: 1. Outstanding Communications. Melissa is always available, including by phone, text, and email. She does what she says she is going to do. We've spoken on the phone & Melissa has a great app which gives you updates and photos of your pet! 2. Genuine Caring. On our most recent trip, the weather got cold. Melissa's team members worked with us to turn on our well heater, ensure our pup was kept warm and cozy, and gave us detailed updates and photos. 3. Going Above & Beyond. Melissa called me about the cold weather to alert us in case we didn't know it was going to be below freezing and to ensure our pet was fully taken care of. Her team actually plays with your pet, spends real quality time, and ensures your pet feels loved. They brought our dog extra treats which was incredibly thoughtful because our dog is a senior citizen - and they actually know about dogs so they brought treats that are great for his health as well as being yummy!
