Peace of mind and VERY happy puppies!! I always worry about having to leave my girls Sugar and Spice. No one is going to spoil them, love them and care about them like I do ... or so I thought. Wow did Carolyn and Marvie of Pawsitively Priceless Petsitting prove me WRONG. These dedicated and caring ladies spoiled Sugar & Spice with loving head rubs & treats from the moment they met them and then with long walks & playing while I was gone. They wanted to know EVERYTHING about my babies. Spice gets very sad when no one is around to throw her ball for her so she can catch it. I received adorable pictures of her playing with her ball while I was gone. Pawsitively Priceless Petsitting treated my girls like they were THEIR own pets. I will now have total peace of mind when I have to leave them because of this amazing pet sitting service. THANK YOU Carolyn, Marvie and Pawsitively Priceless Petsitting :) !!

Pawsitively Priceless Petsitting took care of my pets while we were out of town. They were friendly, and professional, and their rates are reasonable, and affordable. I appreciated the text messages and photos that let me know my cats were happy and healthy while we were gone. I came home to 3 happy cats who hardly even noticed we had left. I would definitely use them again.

Question and answer
Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A. The word "professional" is tossed around easily these days, but to us, this word means never stopping until you are the best. We recommend all pet parents ask for proof of license to operate, and more importantly ask for proof of insurance and bonding. Finally, not checking references can be a costly mistake. A real professional will be proud to show you any documentation you request, and will gladly give you real and current references.
Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?
A. As former customers of pet sitters, we all wish we had known to ask for the little things. A pet sitter will be glad to customize your plan at no extra charge by bringing in your mail, watering plants, rotating your lights and even adjusting your blinds. We'll be sure to check on that toilet that's been running lately, bring the cans in from the curb or unplug your curling iron! Just ask!
Q. What questions should a consumer ask to hire the right service professional?
A. Ask how many people will be looking after your animal(s) and to meet them. Most pet sitters prefer to use the same caregiver repeatedly to help the animals transition more easily.
Ask for proof of insurance and bonding, for your protection!
Ask for current references, preferably in your area.
Ask about hidden or surprise charges, and certainly get a quote before starting service.
Ask if there will be a contract. If there isn't, you are left unprotected.
Remember, these people will be in your home, and in charge of the safety, health and happiness of your animals. Be safe, and never settle for "good enough". Make sure you're 100% satisfied BEFORE you sign.
Q. What important information should buyers have thought through before seeking you out?
A. Customers should consider having the following information available:
How long will you need us?
Will you need us several times a day? Overnight? Daily potty breaks? All of the above?
To help plan your expenditures, check out the rates pages of all sitters you plan to interview so you're familiar with the pricing.
Do you have multiple pets? Some pet sitters charge more for multiples, be sure to inquire about this.
If planning for a known holiday, please be sure to book as far in advance as possible, as all pet sitters book early for typical vacation dates.
Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?
A. Pet sitting is not only our livelihood, it's driven by our deep love of animals. We approach each visit with the knowledge that not only is a human depending on us to be there, but that an animal is waiting inside for some contact, some fun, some affection. This is our love, and it shows in every slobbery kiss and every wiggling butt!
We push for the very best experience for both the animal and their owner, because we would want the very same for our animals. It's that simple!
