I seriously can't say enough how wonderful everyone at 4 pets sake is. We moved here from CA and were in need of a reputable and reliable pet care service. My 3 kitties love and adore Ruth and everyone else! They make the whole process seamless and are extremely thorough and professional. Kelly is fantastic about getting back to you quickly and answering all your questions via email! They have an incredibly fair rate that covers much more than just the actual pet care! Love being able to go out of town and know that my pets and house are in great hands with 4 pets sake!

I have used 4 Pet's Sake a number of times. Most recently for a stay in the hospital. When I left to go to the hospital, I was completely at ease knowing that my assigned pet sitter, Honor, was caring for my 4 fur baby cats. One had diabetes which requires 2 shots of insulin a day. No problem. They are truly a blessing.

4 Pet's Sake has consistently provided the best care for my dog. and he is not the easiest dog! I know he is in good hands when 4 Pet's Sake is caring for him. They also have a tremendous system of communication to make sure you know how everything is going with your baby. I am so happy to have found them. Doris is the best!

My dog Socks has impeccable boarding care & amazing walks from special people at 4 Pets' Sake! They are attentive to details in my home, and after five years; I am still blown away at how much they care about all aspects of their visit. From pulling in trash cans, to turning on my alarm when I forget to set-it myself. It is absolutely wonderful to know people exist who really care about people & our fur babies! I do not worry about my pet at all when she is in their care. I travel with complete peace of mind. I thank the entire team & recommend them often to friends.

Nine years ago, when we got our puppy I was concerned about finding a good company to arrange daily walks, vacation boarding, etc., for our Bella. I actually prayed for guidance and in three instances in three days heard about 4 Pets Sake. They have been a Godsend (literally!) both on a daily basis and in vacation and emergency situations. Terri and Kelly are friendly and professional and so talented at their Admin and Bed & Biscuit positions.
Our dog-walker, Heather, has become a member of our family and she is adored by both Bella and my husband and I. We will be forever grateful that 4 Pets Sake has and will continue to be a part of our lives!

We are so thankful that we found 4 Pet's Sake to take care of our two puppies. The owner, Terri, is awesome to work with and she and Kelly have always come through for us on any last minute requests, no matter how short of notice. Yvonne is our primary dog walker and our puppies LOVE her. She takes very good care of them, with lots of love, walks and romps. They so look forward to her twice daily visits.
We get a "report card" every day that tells us how our puppies were feeling, what they did on their walks, etc. We always refer to Yvonne as their second mother. She is the best and we are truly blessed that we found this company and Yvonne.

I've been using 4 Pets' Sake for the past 2 years and they've been nothing short of wonderful for me even on short notice. I find it absolutely adorable that they have daily progress reports on each visit with each of my 4 legged humans. Staff is kind and very thorough and the price point is very reasonable. Highly recommended, the best in the business!
