Introduction: Hi there and welcome to Your Best Friend Pet Services’ profile! We like to work with pet parents to see how they interact with their companion pets so that we can provide the same kinds of communication cues when we’re caring for them. Having pets ourselves, we understand how strongly people feel about their pets... they are members of the family. We want pets to be (almost) as comfortable with us as they are with their pet parents.

YBF impressed me with their “can do” positive attitude, knowledge of pets and pet sitting, attention to detail. Photos and video of my kitty while interacting with her was greatly appreciated! I will definitely hire them again!

Holly put us and our two kitties completely at ease while we were away on a last minute road trip. She sent photos and videos of our dear ones during each visit. We knew the kitties were in excellent hands, and the photos don't lie -- they warmed right up to her. We would absolutely ask her to pet sit for us again!

We contacted YBFPets after seeing them recommended on NextDoor. They stopped by, met our dog, and we hired them for a short pet sit to see how everyone got along. Things went fine so we had them pet/house sit for six days. They sent lots of pics to show our dog being attended to and obviously enjoying himself. We are bringing them back for a longer stay next month. They are very reliable and keep their commitments. Holly is running a real, full-time business and will do whatever she can to meet your needs.

I highly recommend Holly from Your Best Friend Pet Services for your pet sitting needs! She was responsive, really listened to our requests, and took great care of our cat - sending several photos each day! She put me at ease while we were away.
