We have used Pet Sitting on the Run for the last 7 years. The care for our dog and 2 cats has always been top notch! She also makes sure the home is secure and alerts you to anything that seems a little off with the home. Ms Dabbert communicates very well when you are gone as well. This all leads to great experience. So comforting to know that when you are not home that pets are taken care of and your property is safe.

I have used Pet Sitting On The Run multiple times and they have always been great! Princess always makes sure my cats are well cared for, even with all of their crazy instructions! She also brings in my mail even though I didn't ask her to do that! She goes above and beyond.

I used Pet Sitting on the Run for the first time and will do it again. Princess did a wonderful job the week I was gone. One of my cats needs medication twice a day and has separation anxiety. I need not have worried. He was happy, healthy and didn't pull his hair out thanks to the time and attention Princess gave him. She is truly dedicated to your pet's care and I highly recommend her service.

Pet Sitting on the Run has taken care of our dog and cats for YEARS! The only reason they stopped is because we moved out of their service area--our loss. If you live within their service area, give them a call.

Princess is very reliable, and she communicates well and in a timely fashion. One can count on her being there to take care of the cats and having them be well taken care of. She is able to give shots to one of our cats. The only negative is that last time, the plants didn't get watered, at least not sufficiently. I never complained about it, because the plants did survive and came back fairly quickly. We also may not have reiterated this to her after having discussed it a previous time.

Absolutely reliable and trustworthy. I have used their services many times over a couple of years. I feel very lucky to have come across this business. Also, very fair pricing. My pets are always happy and I can travel without worry!
