Wonderful people that will love your dog as much as you do - took care of our dog Petie who needed meds administered and was not an easy dog to walk. Pam was wonderful and Heidi made sure that we were happy with the service. Recently rescued a Chiweenie "Shane" who will be walked by Susan.

We highly recommend Coddled Creatures! When we leave the house we have total peace of mind knowing that our elderly dog (in diaper) is in the very best of hands. He is not an easy dog to care for, but Amy rises to the challenge with much care and compassion. She also leaves the house with everything in order (lights/doors locked/alarm set). Very happy we found Coddled Creatures.

I started using Coddled Creatures services about a year ago and have been so happy and satisfied with their pet sitting. They stop in to check on our 2 kitties and will bring in our mail and roll the garbage can up the driveway as well. Heidi and her team are fantastic and I'm so happy I found them. She is extremely accommodating, reliable and very trustworthy. Without a doubt, I recommend this company! You all are wonderful!

Wonderful, caring animal lovers. Katherine in the office is always so helpful. We don't know what we would do with out Coddled Creatures caring for our dog while we are at work. We have had several pet care specialists and been very happy with both. Highly recommend
