We have used Pet Sitters and have been extremely happy with the care our dog receives. We have always had the same sitter and our dog loves her.

Report
We've used this service for some years now and have always had a positive experience. Our dog loved going to his sitter (we always had the same one) and I believe she loved our dog. She spoiled him rotten. We certainly felt it was better to have him at home w/ someone than in a kennel.

Report
Janet helped us find a pet sitter for our 4 year old femal German Shepard "Odessa" who does not like other dogs. It stressed us (and Odessa) when we would go out of town because we knew she would be surrounded by other dogs. Janet found us the perfect match and Odessa immediately fell in love. I can't thank her enough for easing our worries when we are out of town!
