We recently hired Tami and her team to care for our two dogs and cat for a 5-day in-home stay. First thing to mention is the communication, which was excellent! From our first contact, Tami was extremely responsive and answered every text message immediately no matter what time of day or evening. When you're away from home and unable to check on your pets, it's comforting to be able to get updates nearly real-time, so that was impressive and appreciated! We had Mandi as our sitter and she was wonderful! They provided pics of all the pets each day, which was great to have, and our babies seemed cared-for and happy when we returned from our trip. Mandi also made sure everything else (mail, trash, plants) was taken care of while we were gone and our house was spotless when we got back! We were very happy with their services and will definitely be calling on them for our petsitting needs in the future!
Details: Dog • 3 pets • Giving food and water • Taking pet outside • Providing companionship • Changing litter or bedding • Overnight visit (10-12 hours) • My home, venue, etc.

Four Paws Pet Service has been a true blessing for me and Mr. Percy. Tami goes above and beyond every single time. My baby is very spoiled, but he lights up when he sees her and always has a ball.
What I love most is that she treats him like her own. She’s become Aunt Tami in our household, not just a pet sitter. When I’m away, I have complete confidence and peace knowing he’s safe, loved, and happy. I wouldn’t trust anyone else!

In the past, we had good and not so good experiences with other pet sitters. Tami and her crew were amazing. You can tell they really are animal lovers. They were always punctual and gave our pet a lot of attention. We felt they were very well taken care of. We look forward to using their services again soon.

My dogs and cats were so incredibly well taken care of in my home while I was out of the country on vacation. We received photos every visit. Everything was in perfect condition when we got home!

We love Tami! She is great with our pups & they have really enjoyed going there. She’s very responsive, works extremely well with your schedule and is flexible on timing for drop off/pick ups, and sends great pics and videos while watching the pups so you feel comfortable while away from them. You can tell Tami is a true animal lover and dedicates her time to taking the best care possible of your pets. 100% recommend and we will be using her for all our pup-sitting needs in the future!
