"Gina took care of my 5 Mini Daschunds when I went away. I've never left them in someone's care like that, but I felt completely at ease with her caring for them. I would highly recommend Gina if you ever need a pet sitter. I will definitely be using her again!" ~ Julie S.
Kim is wonderful. For the past 3 years she has watched my cats on short and long vacations and has been a pleasure to work with. She is communicative before, during and after her visits and reminds me of the things she may need. My cats have loved her. Now, we have a dog, too and Bailey took to Kim right away. I would recommend her completely. She goes the extra mile!
Kim took excellent care of our cat while we were away for a week. We got a picture every day, and he seemed very content both in the pictures and when we came home so he had had a good week. He is normally pretty shy but was already coming up to her during our initial overview meeting, which says a lot. We will definitely ask Kim to care for him again the next time we go away.
Kim has taken care of my kitties for the past 10 years. I would trust them with nobody else. She genuinely loves her furry clients - it shows in the videos and photos she sends while you are gone. She loves to play with them and always has funny stories to share. I can go away and not feel guilty, at all, knowing that they are so well cared for and loved. Dogs, cats, whatever you have - she's THE one to take care of them. Completely trustworthy and so dependable. If I could give a hundred stars, I would.
🐶 🐶 🐶 🐶 🐶 We have had the pleasure of Kim taking care of our dog for the past few years. She is responsive to calls or texts and it is easy to schedule with her. Our neighbor had recommended her to us and we felt very confident after the complimentary pre-visit with our dog Lucy! We look forward to the pictures Kim texts while we are away . Our home is always neat and tidy when we return. But most of all Lucy is well cared for while we are gone and we feel comfortable leaving her.
Kim was wonderful with our cats! We feel so fortunate to be able to leave them here at home where they are comfortable and they both warmed up to Kim very quickly. We got photos and videos often and you can tell the kitties got a lot of love while we were gone. We will 100% use Kim’s services in the future and highly recommend her! Your pets will thank you.
Kim watched my senior dog for a night with absolutely no issues and also sent plenty of photos to keep me updated! Very reliable, friendly, and knowledgeable. Would absolutely ask her to pet sit again!
Kim is an actual life saver. I started using her this summer after I adopted my golden and was struggling with stable and consistent dog care. I am SO glad that she took us on as her clients! She is always professional, reliable and always in close contact. She has helped me out countless times when I am stuck at work late or have to go into work over the weekends. I look forward to her text updates every day when she goes to visit my pup. I HIGHLY recommend A Happy Tail to anyone in the area that is looking for a trustworthy dog walker/sitter, she really is the best!
We were looking for a reliable, engaging cat sitter to take care of our cat, Oscar, for several weeks while we were traveling overseas. We couldn't have made a better choice. Kim posted pictures and videos every day relieving any anxiety we might have had. She is very conscientious, provides excellent care and attention. We will continue to use Kim for cat sitting services in the future. We highly recommend Kim without any reservations.
I have been using Kim for several years now, and she is the BEST! I have an older dog with some special needs, and Kim is always very attentive to him. She is also incredibly reliable, and sends cute photos and updates after each visit so I know that all is OK. We love her, and cannot recommend highly enough. :)
Kim is great!! I will always call her to care for our fur babies. We have several small dogs and she managed them all with individual care. She is very attentive and takes time to get to know each dog. She even cleans up after them on rainy days and gave them baths when they were covered in mud. She is professional and our pups love her!
