I would definitely recommend Veteran Pet Care to my friends and use their services next time I go on vacation.
I was out of the country with limited internet service.
I received pictures everyday from Ronald of my kitties.
I have 2 kitties and the thought of boarding them at the vet and being kept in cages was not a suitable option.
I would definitely use Veteran Pet Services again when I go on vacation.
Details: Cat • 2 pets • Changing litter or bedding • Providing companionship • Giving food and water • Standard visit (60 minutes) • Once a day • My home, venue, etc.

Amazing experience. I have officially found the person that will take care of my pets. I could not have been happier. Updates at every visit! Plus he made me feel like he really loved my pets! He even took my 17 year old dog to the vet for us while we were 10 hours away. I highly recommend!

I recommend Bradenton PetSitting & Dog Walking because you can trust your pet will be taken care of, even if your pet challenging in terms of care. A good pet sitter recognizes the needs of your pet and responds to them. I trust them with my pets and my home. When handing your spare keys to a pet sitter, it's important to have trust. The caregivers are all respectful to the ultimate degree and employer background screened.Reliability and experience are other reasons I recommend Bradenton PetSitting and Dog Walking. If you have a big and dominant German Shepherd, you can trust the pet sitter is not be new to the pet care field. The caregivers are experienced with dogs of all sizes. I also appreciate the way Bradenton PetSitting & Dog Walking maintains our "house rules". We all work hard to teach our pets the rules of the house. So, if you dont allow your pooch to lie on the sofa, or sleep in your bed, your pet sitter won't undo your training. An initial meet and greet with the pet sitter was ideal. Just like you wouldn't hire a babysitter without having met her first, you wouldn't want to leave your furry babies with a stranger either.I rate this company 5 stars!
