I agree with all the great reviews for Cuddles On Call! Megan and Justin did a wonderful job and I…read morewasn't worried about the medicine that my cat has to have twice a day; they were happy to do so, 12 hours apart -- and they are skilled at giving meds in general. They video taped the cats hanging out and getting lots of attention and sent it to me while we were gone. I actually got home a bit early, so it was terrific that Justin could give lots of attention to my male cat (who obviously adored him and wouldn't stop rubbing up against his legs) while I brought my stuff in. Justin even offered to help me unload, but it was even better to see how much the cats loved them! I would recommend them to anyone who has to leave their homes -- it's reassuring to know that pet sitting isn't just a 'job' to them -- they love animals! If I still had dogs, I would also hire them in a heartbeat! Carroll H. PS Sorry it took me so long to post this, guys!

All of their sitters are highly dependable and skilled. You can tell they are passionate about caring for animals and providing the best service possible.

We have used this pet sitting service 3x in the last 3 months and couldn't be happier…read more We struggled trying to find someone on short notice (the BF isn't a planner), but we were thankful to find this company. The initial interview with Nadia was informative ( our cats did not behave, but that didn't deter the service). She explained all of the services that would be provided and provided us with the magnet card for the fridge. This was to be used for scanning in and out of the house. You need to log into your account to see the time stamp in and out and the standard information of the pet care. The website is easy to navigate! Our sitter, Hannah, is awesome and she sends daily updates along with the picture of our allusive babies (they are hiders, but this last visit they finally came out to say HI!). I think Hannah was super stoked to get the rare sighting of our Tuxedo Man, as he's not fond of strangers. You could tell by email she was elated! She has crawled under beds to try to capture these two and we thank her for that! She lays out their toys so she knows if they are coming out while she's away and that's comforting to know. She also hides treats around the house to make sure they are coming out as well. On our first trip away, it was just a long weekend, but it's hard to leave your fur babies, we arrived to a clean litter box, food and water full, and the floor free from litter (cat owners know this is no easy feat). When we were gone on another vacation, the snow--apocalypse happened in Raleigh. Four Paws contacted us immediately regarding the weather. They kept us up to date about the status of the roads. Since we just have cats, we didn't want anyone to risk too much by driving, since these babies don't have to be let out and other animals may have needed that attention more., so we told them that if it was too dangerous to not risk it and just try again the next day. They continued to update us and did make it to the house safe and sound. We even told her to not stay the full time just to make sure she was safe. Hannah's emails are funny and written just as how I picture she talks. We enjoy these little tid bits as we are enjoying vacations away from the babies. I really like the services that we have received and they will be booked soon for another vacation we have planned next month!

Unreliable & Disorganized…read more We're new to the area and I needed to find a new pet sitter to cover a planned weekend trip next month. I originally reached out to Four Paws based on good reviews I saw here, but unfortunately had a very frustrating experience instead. Firstly, before being willing to discuss anything they demanded that I make an account on their website and then fill out an extremely lengthy profile. Then, a day or so later, they emailed to ask for specifics for our trip and said they'd be arranging a visit with our sitter, which I answered that same day. Then, after a lull in communication, I got another email asking for the same information I'd provided previously. I provided it again and, again, nothing happened. Finally, having wasted over a week with their cumbersome process and these communication difficulties, I emailed again to ask what was going on... only to get an email back saying their only pet sitter in this area was on maternity leave for the next month and that they couldn't help me - something that they should have know days and days earlier. Now I will have to scramble to find some other arrangements, causing a lot of needless stress and anxiety and possibly putting our plans in jeopardy. They did offer some suggestions of other pet sitters in the area to use, but to those reading this - save yourself a lot of hassle and headache and just pick someone else. UPDATE: The business has responded below by posting private emails including my email address out of context, but only the last set of emails, ignoring the fact that they seem to have lost the first set, and then accused me of lying. I deeply regret giving them any personal information in the first place and would strongly encourage others not to do so.

Just picked up our fur people - 2 dogs and one small cat after we returned from a 10 day vacation…read more All we can say is WOW- beautiful grooming, happy pups and cat, so well taken care of. The three animals said they had a fantastic time at their doggie spa. They are so happy - we LOVE Sherrill and her team. The groomer did an amazing job on our Bichon and our Schnauzer. I highly recommend PAWS and we definitely will have them care for our pets again. We also have them for home visits for our shorter times away- and we love them for that as well. Very reasonable rates too.

I also had my dog groomed towards the end of her stay, which turned out adorable. Upon picking my dog up, and returning home, she was barely able to keep her eyes open in the car! I can only assume her playtime and the attention she was given was enough to keep her calm and happy. I appreciated that there were three separate areas, one for big dogs, one for medium dogs, and a quiet area for small dogs. They also returned leftover food. Very affordable - would definitely go back! My pup acted completely normal after pick up which was reassuring that she was comfortable.

I recently used Pure Love Pet Sitting for the first time after using a local boarding company for…read moremy needs. I can't say enough about the level of service and care that Pure Love provided for my pets. They took time to explain their service during the first visit and ensured that my pets would be a good fit. While away, they followed all instructions precisely and went above and beyond by cleaning water bowls and bringing in trash despite not being asked. Another great touch was the numerous photos they sent with the visit report card which helped reassure me that my pets were having a great time during each visit and enjoying the less stressful experience of being home versus at a traditional boarding stay. Overall, I HIGHLY recommend Pure Love Pet sitting for your needs, you will never go back to traditional boarding!

We wanted to get away for two nights in an area that we just moved to and didn't know anybody. lazy days was prompt with responses to all questions more than friendly and Cooper absolutely loved their large fenced in yard and playing with her dogs. I don't think he wanted to come home when we got there to pick him up. Can't speak highly enough as these dogs are our family And we want nothing but the best for them and we feel like we got the absolute best in care for Cooper . We got text messages throughout the weekend with photos and frequent updates letting us know how Cooper was doing. This is a fantastic small business, and I would recommend them to anyone. We will see you guys again soon thank you for being amazing In a crazy world!

The care, love and sincere affection for our pooches in addition to their RELIABILITY, CONSISTENCY AND FLEXIBILITY that Kate's Critter Care has provided makes them a premier service provider for anyone who loves their pets.

Kate's Critter Care rocks!!!

Wow, where to start and what to say about our incredible experience with Kate's for our…read morekitty-care... Let's start with our two spoiled princesses, Mimi and Dora, one inside and one outside that we dote-on daily. As we had planned to fly out of town, their care was a huge stress-point for us, and we researched a service for weeks. Add to that is the home-security factor as well. Having Kate's team being so experienced, and secured, we've found that not only peace-of-mind, but an invaluable part of our support system for our kitty-girls. However, even more than that, is the incredible and amazing care and attention to detail they brought to the service, and... AND... connected us with Michelle who unbelieveably bonded instantly with our ultra spoiled indoor kitty Mimi (who warms up to noone). Not only did Mimi bond with her, she loved Michelle's coming over! We have the camera footage, plus Michelle's awesome daily photo's and video's too! It's almost impossible to convey our appreciation and happy stun-factor, but EPIC is probably the best word! 5 Platinum Stars Incredible!!!!!

We used Nina, the owner of Critter Sitter of Cary, recently because we went out of town for a week…read more We have six cats so boarding them would have been astronomically expensive and depending on friends and family to drive to our house every day didn't make sense. The price for pet sitting was reasonable - $20 per day and she said she'd be here approximately 30 minutes each time. She brought in our mail, dumped the litter boxes, and left daily notes on how the cats were doing, who she spend the most time with, any red flags she noticed, etc. I appreciated that she removed the business sticker from her car when visiting homes so that people driving by wouldn't know that we weren't home. Other local pet sitting services that I looked into charged extra (usually $2) per cat over one for each day they checked in. Her website gives a lot of info so check it out. I would definitely use her services again.

Nina looked after my kitty in 2013, and I really liked her, and everything went well. When I…read morecontacted her again this year, I never got a response. At the time, I noted that her web site said, "Critter Sitter of Cary is still alive & well!!!! ~ 2013," which made me wonder if others had had difficulty communicating with her as well. Maybe this is a simple technical issue, but it does make me wonder if she is reliable but only on an inconsistent basis (if that makes sense). Five stars for a great first experience + one star for a nonexistent second experience = three stars.

We were sent a photo and an email update on how she was doing. Our kitty came home loved and calm, which is the best we could ask for, considering she gets very lonely when home alone. We will definitely visit Cozy Cats Hotel again!
