Our two German shepherds seemed to love having Jack stop in to check on them. We went away for a long weekend and Jack fed/played with them several times. I was very impressed with his organization - came to the meet/greet prepared with certificates and took notes on our pups likes/dislikes/concerns. During the visits, Jack text us frequently with updates which helped calm our nerves in trusting someone new. Overall would definitely recommend for any petsitting needs!

At interview Jack came well prepared and asked all the questions necessary for our situation. His manner was relaxed and calm which is great for pets stressed by being alone for a period of time. Due to our cats shyness and scared easily, he never did meet Romeo, but came as requested and kept box clean and food dish filled when needed. We felt very comfortable and more relaxed having Jack come into our home while we were away. Should we need petsitting services again, we would not hesitate calling Jack. Punctuality was not a factor
Details: Cat • 1 pet • Changing litter or bedding • Giving food and water • Collect mail • Short visit (30 minutes) • Two times a day • The pet sitter travels to me

We recently contacted Jack to care for our 4 cats and 2 dogs for a couple trips we needed to make. He did an outstanding job and we are happy to have found him. We intend to use him again as the need arises. M&L

Jack took great care of my three cats for a week, including two that are on medication. He gave me frequent status reports, especially when one didn't want to take one of his meds. When I got home, the litterboxes were clean.
Your Pet's Best Friend's reply
One of Glenn's cat required injections twice daily. I was happy to provide this service as part of my overall care for his cats

Jack was timely, courteous, and friendly. Our family now has a great guy to take care of our cats moving forward. If you haven't met with Jack, we recommend you give him a call.

This meeting is crucial to my giving your pets exactly the type of care you want me to provide in your absense.

Enrolled in certification course offered by Pet Sitters International.
