    Calliope
    Laura B.

    Last weekend Stephanie Ropp took excellent care of my cat, Calliope. She spoiled her and treated her to all the care and attention I wanted Calliope to receive while I was away. She sent me updates and pictures displaying all the fun they had. Stephanie also adjusted her schedule around my departure and arrival times, which I greatly appreciated. I can't wait to have Stephanie sit for Calliope again because I trust her and she made me feel comfortable and secure about Calliope's care.

    The holidays are always a stressful time for me since I do a lot of traveling. This has been my first time hiring a service for dog walking/sitting. I usually rely on friends or neighbors to pop in and check on Don Juan, however this time of year everyone is always to busy. I found Denise and Zen Pet through a flyer in my local coffee shop. We did a meet and greet near my house since I was a little worried about Don Juan's attitude, but 5 min into it he was wagging his tail and excited about making a new friend. Denise's kind demeanor and loving nature made him so comfortable and I had no worries or anxiety while out of town. She sent me pics every day that I was gone and made sure I knew my lil guy was happy, safe n sound! I have since referred all of my friends & neighbors w pets to her! She is by far the best in the business!! Thank you so much Denise & Zen Pet! Love, Lindsay & Don Juan

    I loooove zen pet! I booked with them pretty last minute and they were quick to see if they had someone who could come do a home visit with my dogs while I was out of town for the day. Denise was in touch with me the entire time she was looking for a sitter, keeping me updated. She then found me Kelly, who came to meet my dogs and she was taking notes of anything I was asking her to do for my dogs and she was making sure she she had everything right. My dogs loved her right away! The day I was out of town I got a notification on the zen pet website and a text message with pictures of my girls. They looked so happy. I'll definitely be using Zen Pet in the future!

    Denise and her team are outstanding. My two dogs Luca and Rion loved their Christmas break with Zen Pet. The whole experience was so pleasant, from coordinating our urgent and last minute need during the holidays, meeting our awesome sitter, and most of all getting updates about our dogs daily. It was such a relief to know that our dogs had a companion, and the best of care in their own environment, while we were away. Our girls were so well adjusted, and happy when we arrived home. If you're looking for a great dog walking service, I would highly recommend Zen Pet!

    Happy Sugar!

He did a fine job, and I didn't have any major issues. My only issue in the beginning was that he told me AFTER our meet and greet that the time clock for walks starts when he walks into the building. I showed him the entrance closer to my place (which is right by the entrance), but he wasn't using that one at first. While I had wished that he communicated this during our meet and greet, I wasn't upset by it after we had established a steady routine. A few weeks/months after I settled into my new job, I had been granted the ability to work from home full time with a few occasional sporadic days in the office. I texted him to tell him that I won't need a walker after a certain date and explained that I'll be WFH. I even told him that I'd still like to reach out on days I'd have to be in-office. Later that day, he called to "ask" me what he did wrong. His tone was extremely confrontational and aggressive. I reiterated that I don't need a walker anymore because my situation had changed. He kept demanding an explanation. Honestly, I felt really put off by this. I had to tell him several times that it's because the situation had changed and it took multiple attempts to get him off the phone. He kept trying to push me because he didn't seem to believe me. Honestly, I don't care if he did. Before this conversation, I probably would have asked him to walk my dog on the days that I'd be in the office, but this made me so uncomfortable. Over the period of several months, he occasionally texted and/or called to ask me if we had any dog walking needs. I didn't answer, but eventually texted him to tell him that we did not. I understand his wanting a "reason" to try to improve. However, I gave him a reason. And even if I didn't, I don't necessarily owe him one to the point where he has to demand one repeatedly.

However, Christine was able to work her magic to get Sadie engaged every day while we were on vacation. It is a huge relief to know that while we are gone, she isn't hiding and sleeping 24/7, sad and depressed. Sadie played with Christine, ate her wet food daily, and posed for photos to send to mom;-). Not only do I feel that Sadie was in great hands, but Christine went above and beyond to help with a few items around the house such as grabbing mail, cleaning up after Sadie's bulimic tendencies, and perhaps most importantly, feeding the outdoor cat "Blue" that we've semi-adopted in the last few months. And not only did we get daily photos and texts to update us on Sadie, we also got a few updates and photos on Blue, too! I love traveling but hate leaving Sadie. Finding Christine makes leaving my baby at home a little bit easier. Thank you, Christine!

I work evening shifts and I am grateful they are able to accommodate my weird hours. They are quick to respond when requesting walks with their easy to use website. They have affordable pricing and are very professional starting with the first meeting when Lis gets to know your pups.
