I never have to worry about whether or not someone will show up, I just work and wait for my photos and story of the days events to show up on my phone. The best part, I know they love on my fur babies just like I would if I was home. Hiring an independent contractor, you are not going to get this kind of customer service or consistency. They go above and beyond every time. I can update my schedule very easily, add a walk in case of an emergency and they send out holiday reminders if you need to cancel your walk! And cater to your pets needs such as medications or special instructions. I have recommended them to everyone in my building and I will keep recommending them to everyone!

I would definitely recommend this company. They are my go-to whenever we need someone to take care…read moreof our fur babies. SLDW's caregivers are so very reliable and patient with our very delicate (and nervous) chihuahuas. One thing I REALLY like about SLDW is that the same person visits each time--you know exactly who's coming and going in your home, whereas other companies may assign different people per schedule. My pups get to know their caregiver, get lots of love and attention, are fed correctly, cleaned up after, and I always receive photos and videos with each visit. All this has really allowed me to focus on whatever business may be at hand while away or to completely enjoy a vacation. Trustworthy, reliable, friendly, patient, takes time and gives love to my animals...A+

We feel very lucky to have found Angie and Pampered Paws pet sitting. We have two cats that she…read morewatches when we are out of town and I trust her completely. The cats took to her right away, which isn't usually the case with one of them. Customer service at Pampered Paws is exactly what you want when you are turning over your house keys and entrusting someone with your pets. She always got right back to me to answer any questions I had. We did an initial meeting at the house where we went over all the paperwork and info about the cats and everything she needed to know about the house. She is very detail oriented. While we were gone she would check in once a day with texts to notify us she had visited the house and that the cats were ok. Angie is very professional and it's so nice to be able to go out of town and know that the kitties have been well taken care of. I highly recommend her if you are in the market for a new pet sitter or need any of the other services she offers to help you take care of your pets.

He has a great feel for dogs and makes my little girl feel very loved. Definitely worth the investment!

Her level of communication is above our previous sitters, she replies to messages quickly and it's so nice to get an update with each visit plus photos. It was a pleasant surprise to come home to a "welcome home" setup, complete with report cards on how the kids did, and a super thoughtful touch was her asking for a touch base to make sure we got home as planned and the pets didn't need any additional checks. Sadly, we had to say goodbye to one of our fur babies last week, and after her drop-in, she left a sympathy card for us with the sweetest note. I never would've expected that and it was so touching. It's easy to see pets are her passion and I'm sure everyone else at Theuerkauf's is just as great, we've only just interacted with Lauren so far. I've already recommended their services to multiple friends!

Fern is amazing! We adopted a doggy from Saint Louis Humane Society in January for our son. At…read morethe shelter this cute little doggy seemed very well mannered, which she really is but little did we know that she has separation anxiety. She cried and scratched up the door pretty bad when we just went downstairs to do some laundry. Well long story short.....I needed to get back home (Hawaii) but I know my son and his new best friend, Daisy, would need some help. Of course, I look on Yelp. I see only 5 star reviews for Extended Arms. So, I called and spoke to Fern for about 30 mins. I was giving her the situation that we were in and she was giving us advice. I asked her if she could come over and speak to my son and show him some of her "tricks or hints" that could help Daisy with her anxiety. She was more than willing to help us. My son was very impressed on how thorough Fern was and how much time she spent with him and Daisy. Fern is very honest and open lady. She's been helping and taking care of fur babies for many years and she truly loves it....it really shows! Thanks again, Fern.

Normally when I leave for the weekend I come home to shredded toilet paper, things knocked over, and just general destruction... But with the love and attention from Fern and Carolyn I came home to no destruction and two very happy kitties! Fern sent me pictures and videos of my fur babies while I was away which was awesome. As well, she was very flexible with my schedule and even coordinated a key swap with my sister instead of me due to my schedule. I have never used a pet sitter before and I am so happy that I found Fern because my first experience with pet sitting was fabulous. I will definitely be using her services anytime I go out of town.

So I hear great things about the day care, but what about the grooming?…read moreIs the grooming a reasonable price? I dropped my dog off today. It took them 2 hrs and 30min to bath my dog. I was getting really nervous cause it usually doesn't take them that long. Finally they called me to pick him up.

It was this big GASH!!! very DISAPPOINTED!! My dog is only 2Ibs and 11 months old. I WILL NOT BE COMING HERE AGAIN!!! They still made me pay for the big gash that they did to my dog. I'm honestly so frustrated that this happened!!!

Would I start my dog-boarding experience here? Probably…read more Knowing what I know now, would I stick with it? Absolutely not. And that's an honest shame. I have sincerely loved shopping at and getting Hank groomed at Whisker Bones' home store for the last year. The staff is incredible, the treats are fantastic, and Hank's grooming has been so perfect! I really hoped the boarding facility would live up to the parent company reputation, but I was sadly so mistaken. We took our dog (a golden retriever puppy who lives up to every stereotype of such) to the mandatory screening/interview session to see if he could be permitted to attend daycare or boarding- standard practice, good idea, I totally agree with the concept. However, the assessor (I don't know his name, but he's a young man with a nose ring) brought in two very aggressive dogs who upset mine. My husband had to pull the "host dog" off of ours on two separate occasions because it got way to aggressive and dangerous. The host dog growled and barked, bore his teeth, and actually jumped all over our dog- twice! The assessor also said the host dog had earned the nick name of "the controller" since he apparently didn't like other dogs and felt the need to control them. Then, the assessor "evaluated" our dog on a scale of green light (passable), yellow light (cautionary, should not board), and red light (no day care, no boarding, beware), and considered our dog "yellow light" due to his "aggressive behavior." When in reality, the host dogs were so aggressive that hey had earned nick names for themselves as such, and my husband had to physically pull the host dog off of ours. It was truly such a heart breaking experience. I cried on the way home because I was so upset about the treatment of our dog. I'm sincerely disappointed, and I hate to give negative feedback, but I feel like it's very important that I share this experience. Club WB might be too new to see their weaknesses, but I would start with the assessor and the dogs he chooses to mingle with incoming pups to get a real pulse for it all. Today's experience was an actual true shame.
