This past weekend I got married out of state and of course all of my family and friends were attending which left me with no other alternative other than to locate a pet sitter. I looked high and low and just could not find anyone I trusted enough, then out of the blue, my now husband found Steph's information and we could not be happier. The first time we spoke I knew everything was going to be great. My kids adored her and so did we! The first night away I was still a little sad that I had to leave them and then out of nowhere Steph sent a text with a picture of my boy looking very happy which put my mind at ease for the rest of my time away.

When I reached out to Jack he suggested we meet up prior to my needing his services to meet my pup so they could get to know one another before the trip. When I left him with Jack during my vacation, I received a pic of my baby as well as daily updates on his well-being. He told me how he was eating, his many walks and his temperament while being in a different home that he was not used to. This was really a relief to me as I didn't have to worry that my pup was being taken care of in a knowledgeable, calm atmosphere. I will definitely use Jack again for any future pet sitting vacations that I will need. He is the best! G

I had rotator cuff (shoulder) surgery last August, and realized I would be unable to walk Zippy, my…read more80-pound juvenile delinquent Labradoodle, for a few months. In addition to his size and strength, Zippy is extremely reactive, thus very difficult to control, when he encounters other dogs during walks. I advertised for dog walkers on Nextdoor and received a few responses from kids and other dog lovers. When Jack Feldmann the owner of Your Pet's Best Friend reached out to me, it was immediately apparent that he is a professional -- the real deal. He and his associate, Kevin Wilson, were totally unfazed by Zippy's size and potential for problems. Both developed great relationships with our monster dog and managed him beautifully. Fortunately, I'm again able to walk Zippy, but I will certainly call Your Pet's Best Friend anytime our circumstances require support with Zippy. If you live in the Wilmington area, I highly recommend their services. Jack's number is (302) 379-5501.

Our cat and our home were well taken care of and I feel totally confident leaving my pet in their care.

Rae has been visiting our two cats while we vacationed for the past ~5 years. I never thought to…read morewrite a review before now, but we and our kitties love Rae! She leaves us nice notes every day and takes a lot of time to pet the cats. She even tidies up our house some, which we generally leave a wreck as we're trying to get out the door. We never even asked her to do that, but it is so nice to come home to no mess! Rae has also been super flexible with us. When we found out our cat had an infection (via Vet's phone call) while we were out of town, she was able to change the schedule to come twice a day instead of once to give him his medicine. When we went into the hospital to have our baby, she had no problem coming to feed the cats so last minute! In short, I highly recommend Life of Rylee, so call her!

I've been using Tails Around Town for several years. When I need to go out of town or have to stay…read morelate at work, Tails has always been available to help out. I've used Tails for both overnight stays (in their home) and daily walks when I have to travel for business. I always get a mini "report card" after a visit so I know what happened during the visit. I have to admit, the best service they provide is pick-up/drop-off for an overnight stay. I hate saying goodbye when I have to leave Murphy and when they pick him up, it eliminates all the guilt. Plus it's one less thing I have to worry about.

Firstly, I'd like to note that I'm currently blocked from leaving a FB review on the For the Love…read moreof Dogs LLC Facebook page. My wife, and I hired FLD from Wed Nov 13th in the evening, to Friday evening to provide 6 60-minute visits for our 2 dogs. We have strict rules for our pets that were quite clearly illustrated, most notably that our dogs are to stay in our large kitchen area when nobody is home so that they don't get into things around the house. When we arrived home we had found: 1.) Main door unlocked. 2.) Kitchen door (sunroom connects the main door, and kitchen area) ajar. 3.) The gate in the kitchen wide open, and our critters running around the house. Over the course of the day they had knocked over electronics, candles, and made a mess (#1 & #2) in our piano room. After a 3+ hour drive back from Washington DC, it was not a great look for us to have to Bona 3 rooms because of an error on our sitters part. I wish I could say that that was our only complaint, on a whim we decided to check the logs for our security system to see when our sitter had last been there, and we were shocked to learn: 1.) Out of 6 60-minute visits, he only came 4 times. 2.) Not a single visit lasted an hour, one lasted 45 minutes, and the remaining 3 averaged 30 minutes. This is absolutely unacceptable. I hope that nobody else will ever have to come home to a completely unsecured home after hiring this company. It's blatantly irresponsible, and there needs to be a better system for vetting sitters, and their actions while in a persons home. For our trouble were were refunded $99 out of $168. I believe that we deserve a full refund, not a single service that we hired this company for was properly rendered. This is not acceptable.

We have three dogs, two with disabilities (one is blind and one is deaf), and this was not at all an issue. Leah and her team set up a schedule and made sure our babies were well cared for.

Thanks again!

I have been using Fairmount Pet Services almost daily for the last year and a half. After I…read moreexperienced a traumatic personal event, I needed to quickly find someone who would provide regular and consistent companionship for my dog Sasha during the daytime. I required a walker who I could trust in my home, who was reliable and insured, who I felt cared about my dog, and who could work around my schedule. Jim from Faimount Pet Service fit the bill. He has been a God-send. In fact, over time I've come to think of him as a key member of my service network, the way a parent values a good babysitter! I highly recommend Fairmount Pet Services to anyone requiring care for their "best friend."
