Vince and Carol did an excellent job in taking care and feeding my two fish (an Oscar and a Blood Parrot) while I was on vacation for a week. They went above and beyond as I decided later I was much more comfortable with overnight stays and they made the scheduling work. I received updates from Vince every evening and morning with photos and sometimes videos. Vince also did some house care duties which was a plus. Vince and Carol cared about details in my instructions and my pets’ well being in a special way. Taking care of fish can be complicated so I appreciated this very much. My schedule changed at the end of my vacation and they were flexible and great at communicating. I’m definitely planning to use their services again :)

Details: Fish • 2 pets • Providing companionship • Giving food and water • Short visit (30 minutes) • Once a day • My home, venue, etc.

Carol kept my 3 unruly cats fed, alive, healthy & inside the house, and kept burglars out when I was up in Canada. She cleaned their gross litter boxes and watered my plants. Sent daily reports with photos of at least one of the cats.

We were away for 11 nights, and required Carol to visit twice per day - morning and evening, as we have an African Grey parrot that required his cage to be covered/uncovered and engagement. We hired her services on fairly short notice and we are very appreciative of her patience and flexibility in our communications prior to the job. Carol's pricing was very affordable, despite us being outside her normal area, and our being away for so long and needing two visits per day. Carol sent photos and videos following each and every visit and gave a brief update regarding the things she did when she visited. Carol gave us a free consultation prior to our job, and she came with a multiple page questionnaire to ensure she knew everything we needed to take care of our two cats and our parrot. Carol was clear in communicating the "tiers" of service, and was flexible with us regarding having longer visits on some days, and shorter on others. It was clear from the photos that Carol was enjoying spending time with our pets and that they were enjoying their time with her as well! We would, and likely will, hire Carol again, as we are very happy with the care she provided to our beloved pets!

Details: Bird • 3 pets • Changing litter or bedding • Giving food and water • Standard visit (60 minutes) • Two times a day • My home, venue, etc.
