We just lovelPaw Au Pair! We have been using their services for many years and are always very pleased! Whenever we go on vacation we never have to worry about our dog fudge getting the best care! Linda is great with animals and fudge is always so excited to see her! We also like the fact that fudge is able to stay in the comfort of his own home instead of a kennel! Such a great service were would recommend to anyone looking for an in home pretty sitting ervice!

I've used Linda for several years and the dogs are always so well cared for! This time I just went away last minute for 2 days and forgot to move the Elf on the Shelf! I was so worried the kids would find it in the same place when we got home. I asked Linda simply to move it and I came home to something much more. The very definition of above and beyond, for sure! Imagine how meticulous she must be with my animals.

Report
I highly recommend Paw Au Pair for your pet sitting needs! We recently adopted a 12 week old kitten and were leaving for a pre-scheduled weekend trip out of state. The friends we thought would be able to peak in on him while we were gone ended up going out of town that weekend. We were in a bit of a panic as it was last minute and we didn't have anyone else to call on. I researched several pet sitting companies online and thankfully found Paw Au Pair. Linda was SO quick and professional in her responses to me.
She came out and met my kitten the Friday before we left. We have a second cat that we told her she didn't have to worry about because she tends to be self-sufficient, but Linda checked in on her, as well! It was very comforting to know that our fur babies were in good hands while we were gone. Definitely encourage you to try Paw Au Pair out if you are in need of these services! A+++
