Yes, there are a lot of questions to answer and paperwork to do when you sign-up for service, but everything has a purpose and you'll be glad you went through the process so then, when you leave your pets in their care, you know they're in good hands. They keep you updated, follow through and go beyond the extra mile if needed (if you have pets you know what I mean). The only limitation is that she has a limited coverage area but if you're lucky enough to be within it, you won't find any better!

Their system/process is very thorough and makes me feel at peace when I'm away, knowing that have a firm understanding of our travel and kitties. Each visit they spend quality time interacting with our cats and send the best updates and photos. They've even surprised my cats with toys that they absolutely love. We always return home to happy kitties, full bowls, and a clean litter box. We are so relieved to have such a trustworthy and caring cat sitter(s) -- highly recommend!

Our dog is very nervous around strangers, but our weekend away went so smooth for him thanks to Lindsey.

Can't recommend enough if you're looking for a pet sitter!

I always feel a bit guilty leaving my Bengal cat behind when I take off but what can you do? Thankfully, Raleigh Pet Sitters has become a reliable part of the team that makes my traveling life a bit easier with pet-sitting and general home upkeep. Before you sign up as a client they do an in-house visit to first get the details, smart idea. At $19/day for a visit which includes taking care of kitty-fido, grabbing mail and more, I've used them several times over the last year or so. They've been reliable and good with communications while I'm out. They also try to pair you up with the same pet-sitter for consistency which is a nice plus. And if you follow their Facebook page, they post regularly on their visits which is a good way to stay engaged. So overall no complaints about Raleigh Pet Sitters, they have done a very solid job for me and yeah, I'm pretty sure I'll be using them again. If I could only get my cat out from under the bed while I'm gone, now that would be a pet-sitting miracle...

Jenny was quick to respond as we chatted for an hour about an approach, how my dog is, and just covered it all. She came that weekend and as she left, I felt so relieved and calm at the fact that she was going to be my dog walker from here on out. She's very detailed and transparent with everything! Couldn't be happier and I look forward to a long partnership with her.

The "Pet Sitter," (who was supposedly a licensed Veterinary Technician), who came to my house to take care of my 2 large dogs failed in numerous ways: --My dog's prescribed oral medication wasn't given, as evidenced by the full bottle that was there when I returned. --My dog didn't receive the sulphur baths that were prescribed for her skin condition, as evidenced by the foil seal that was still on the bottle when I returned. --The "Pet Sitter" lost my house key & contacted my Mother to borrow hers. Yet, when I got home, the door handle's keyhole had been jabbed through with some kind of tool--the keyhole was completed destroyed & I had to buy a new doorknob. --I arrived home at about 8pm & at 2am, the "Pet Sitter" & her boyfriend walked into my house DRUNK, to supposedly take care of my dogs! Her behavior was horribly unprofessional in every aspect! When I contacted the Owner of Ark Angel the next morning, she was unapologetic and made no attempt to smooth things over with me or compensate me for the broken doorknob. Additionally, she showed no concern that my dog's skin condition had worsened because of her Employee's s neglect! I was really shocked that the Owner of this pet sitting company didn't find her Employee's terrible behavior & neglect unacceptable! Walking into a Customer's house with her boyfriend, when they were obviously impaired & reeked of alcohol?!? Breaking a Customer's doorknob, despite having my Mother's copy of the key?!? Neglecting to give my dog her oral medication & prescribed baths?!? I paid a lot of money for them to "safely" care for my dogs so that I could have a worry-free vacation, but they failed us miserably!!

Although a long-time Raleigh resident and dog owner, until May, 2023 I had never used a pet sitter,…read moreand it took me a considerable amount of time, online research, and several extensive interviews before I was fortunate to find Lynn's Compassionate Pet Care. And while my pet care needs were not for the typical reason of vacation travel, but rather due to my surgical procedure and post-op recovery at home, my experience offers an especially accurate assessment of this professional's level of expertise, since I was present during all of her visits! Moreover, having two adult Salukis not at ease with unknown humans and requiring considerably more daily exercise than the average family pet, I had ruled out several perspective pet-sitting companies before interviewing Lynn, who was the only candidate who understood that if a sighthound manages to get loose, chances are slim that it will survive automobile traffic, due to its athletic speed and desire to chase small wildlife. Her rapport with my two aloof girls was miraculous, and there was never any doubt that they were safe in her care. It is no exaggeration to say that I would have cancelled my surgery if not for Lynn's Compassionate Care!

We cannot say enough amazing things about Melissa!…read more She has been visiting our sweet guy, Jax, for the last couple years and she has been nothing short of kind and loving towards him. When we leave for work, we have no doubts in our mind that Melissa will be there for him at his schedule time. On top of that, she always texts us when she leaves and fills us in on their play date. Melissa has even watched Jax while my husband and I went on vacation. We always vacationed easy knowing that when Jax was with Melissa he was safe and fed, and most importantly getting tons of love and playtime! Melissa is simply the best and we are so happy that we found her!

Melissa called back almost immediately and we set an appointment up for her to assess the dogs, our needs, etc. Zeke, my oldest is the one I gather from on who is a good guy or someone I need to watch. He seemed fine, but it was our shy Artemis that sealed the deal!! Melissa knows dogs and is experienced at what she does. I love the texts she sends to let me know everyone is okay. I also love the texts from my neighbors letting me know they're seeing some happy puppies out with Melissa!! I highly recommend At Your Barn 'N Call to help you with your precious ones!!!

I wish I could give this company 5 stars. They are responsive and it's obvious that they love…read moreanimals. I called them bc we need care for our two dogs this summer. One of our dogs gets very anxious and aggressive around new people. It takes a long time for him to recognize new people as being safe. One of the caregivers came over for a temperament test and it didn't go well at all. I had high hopes that they could work with him but I quickly realized that they couldn't, and she agreed. The issue is the there is no guarantee that the same sitter will come to your home to watch your pets. I contacted them several months in advance and they still could not work with me to have one person watch my dogs. I understand that this is how they run their business and respect it. That said, I would only recommend them if your dogs are not anxious like mine and are okay with different people coming over to watch them.

They came out to meet the cats and get the instructions for the meds, etc. and off we went. Our friend noticed that "old cat" wasn't doing so hot, but was unable to leave work to take "old cat" to the vet immediately, so we were about to turn the car around and drive the 300 miles back, rather than finishing our vacation. That's when my wife saw that Kelly's Critters offered pet transportation too. We called and they took "old cat" to the vet and no exaggeration-saved his life. They started some new meds and "old cat" is on the mend. The cute videos they send when they visit are precious. They saved the kitty, and I think they saved my wife's heart and sanity. The quality of care was amazing and we'll definitely use them again.

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...

I have been going to All About Pets Grooming for many years, and I highly recommend them. I believe…read morethat they are the best in Raleigh - family owned with reasonable prices and excellent service. They are also easy to find, centrally located in North Raleigh. It's important to know that they are frequently booked out 4-6 weeks. So when you make an appointment, allow some time to see them because they are very popular. And well worth the wait! I have two dogs (a Cavachon and an English Cocker Spaniel) which require frequent grooming. I am very particular about their grooming and they always look great! I also appreciate the fact that my pups love to go there which gives me great peace of mind. All About Pets is owned by Joyce who is dedicated to providing the best care for your dog. Joyce is highly experienced, detail oriented, very kind and truly cares about you and your dog. She keeps thorough and accurate records about each detail of your dog's grooming. Each grooming session is custom made just for your dog. The groomers are excellent, too - very thorough and experienced. They also provide detailed report cards summarizing each visit. They provide ear cleaning, expression of anal glands, nail grinding and de-matting during each visit. I like the fact that my dogs have the same groomer for each visit which maintains consistency. You can also drop off supplies there to support local dog shelters. I am very grateful to Joyce and her groomers for the wonderful care that they provide. Always a great experience for me and my dogs!
