Sondi is still able…read moreto fit my cats in when we have a last minute trip (even over the holidays), and her rates are very reasonable. I know that when I'm away from home, my cats are well taken care of. I've had a number of cat sitters over the years, and all have been excellent (minus one I had early on, who I wasn't sure actually came to the home and never sent pictures when I asked). I suspect that some of the bad reviews are for pet sitters, like the one mentioned above, that are now long gone. Still, you can meet with the sitter ahead of time, and I'd assume you could ask for a new sitter if you don't fully and completely trust the one assigned to you. If you need a pet sitter you can fully and completely trust, I'm particularly happy with my current sitter Sam(antha) -- who I've been using 5-10 times a year for the past four or so years. Samantha loves cats, and treats my cats like her own while I'm gone. When I check in on the cat camera, I'll find her playing with my young cat while simultaneously petting my older cat in just the way she likes. Additionally, Samantha reliably makes sure my older cat takes all her medicine. And she cleans up the older cat's messes (sigh) without complaint so that I don't come home to a home covered in cat poop. Plus, she always sends me pictures and updates, so that I don't have to worry when I'm gone. To boot, she's just an incredibly kind person. She's even checked in on me and the cats when there is bad weather, or something else going on in my neck of the woods. Whenever I have friends looking for a cat sitter, I always recommend AuPurr. They know, and love cats, and for that reason, I know that I can trust them with the lights of my life.

Golie is the best!…read more My husband and I recently moved to the area. Having no trusted friends or relatives nearby, we were a little apprehensive about leaving our senior cat, Raven, with a pet sitter. However, once I met Golie, I knew that Raven was in great hands and my worry was gone. Golie far surpassed our expectations - and that is saying a lot! My husband and I are difficult to impress when it comes to our cat because we worry about her so much. Golie came prepared to our consultation meeting with all the right questions to ask and took notes the entire time. I had prepared a list of things to tell her, but didn't even need the list because she knew exactly what to ask! I knew that Raven would be in great hands. Thank you, Golie!

I met Golie while she was walking a dog in my former neighborhood. Based on the 10 minutes I spent…read morewith her I knew that she would be my dog sitter. I only had to sell my condo, find a house with a yard & adopt two dogs from the Humane Society. In the meantime, I ran into the owner of the dog she was walking & he gave her glowing reviews & her contact info. After I moved, I adopted my dogs & was ready to go on my pre--arranged vacation. I contacted Golie who did a home visit to meet my two pooches. Her professionalism & motivation was evident from the start. When I explained that Chico had to take several meds for his heart, she didn't flinch. I told her that Jesse had peed all over the doctors office when he was supposed to be providing moral support for Chico. She laughed & said "there are different forms of moral support." She is able to turn every instance into a positive even when I make fun of my dogs. They immediately loved her & I felt so confident to leave them in her very capable hands. I went overseas & Golie sent daily updates with pictures of their progress. They were hooked on the attention, love & care that she provided. When I returned she stopped by my house to pick up something & they sat at her feet while I stood on the opposite side of the kitchen. When I remarked on how attached they were next to her, she responded that she was there temporarily. She has taken care of very special needs pets without hesitation. When she tells me what she has to do with some I am astonished. She says "it's my job." Without hesitation I would recommend Golie to anyone who needs a dog sitter. Woof--woof
