Sofia and Nicole were excellent sitters to our 2 playful cats (an adult tabby and a BIG Maine coon kitten). They gave us a couple updates daily with pictures, as we requested. They were easy to communicate with before and throughout the entire sit. When we came home, our apartment was tidy (probably neater than we left it!) and our cats were relaxed and happy. They were also kind enough to leave us with some sweet bandanas for our boys. We were super pleased with the quality of care, and would happily recommend Sofia and Nicole to anyone in need of a pet or house sitter!

Kira was the best sitter we have ever had! I chose Kira because of her reviews, ability to sit during the dates I needed and willingness to communicate with my daughter/neighbor who co-parents Colby with us. I am always a bit anxious about having someone in my home and trusting them with our fluffy son. Kira put us at ease almost immediately. I received photos and videos everyday throughout the stay. I got updates on Colby’s activity and the fun they were having together. My heart felt full knowing that Colby was being well loved and cared for. Additionally, Kira was so kind to keep us posted on any deliveries that arrived at the house. Finally, when I arrived home, the house was tidy and clean! Again, I am so grateful that Kira was there keeping the house and my cat safe! I hope she will come back and sit again. I know Colby would love to see her again.

We literally cannot say enough positive things about Susan and Miranda! They are the best! From start to finish, they did an amazing job communicating with us, giving our 3 (somewhat needy) cats extremely high quality care and tons of attention, and keeping our house clean and plants watered. They took adorable pictures of the cats and sent them to us several times a day, played with them and gave them so much love and affection, and when we got home the house was even cleaner than when we left. We even asked them for some tips on how they were caring for the cats because our cats seemed happier and more relaxed than ever when we returned home to them! This was by far our best cat/house sitter experience to date. We hope Susan and Miranda are available again in the future to sit for us and would invite them back without hesitation.

Catherine was a wonderful sitter for our 17 year old cat Zabba. She sent us pictures twice a day and kept us informed about Zabba’s daily activities. We came home to a clean home and would definitely recommend her as a pet/ house sitter. My only concern was that she doesn’t drive and with an older cat, I just prayed that Zabba didn’t need to go to the vet…. And he didn’t 🥰. We will ask her again for sure.

Florence was a great sitter for my cat Lily. I booked her a bit last minute, as a previous sitter had to cancel, but was very happy to have her. She was reliable, prompt to respond, and sent picture updates daily at my request. Judging by the pics, Lily warmed up to her nicely and they spent some lounging time together - which is high praise from a cat! Would recommend Florence for your next sit.

Tracy was an ideal pet sitter when we left for 12 days. She was communicative, friendly, and most importantly took perfect care of our two cats and our house. I would highly recommend her for any sit!
Will
Jinnie was an excellent house sitter for me and my cat Felix. Completely responsible and reliable and helpfully flexible. She was willing to work with me as I dithered on whether I was actually going to go on my trip (which was dependent on good weather), and when I finally decided on making my trip one day shorter. House was clean and organized on my return, and, more importantly, my cat was calm and relaxed on my return. I would happily have Jinnie come sit for me and Felix again.

Heidi was an outstanding cat sitter for my Luna! She was very communicable via calls or texts. She followed all my guidelines for feeding and care of Luna. Luna was very content when I arrived home thanks to Heidi! My home was immaculate when I arrived and she did some snow shoveling. She even pulled a large broken tree branch off my roof following a windstorm. I hope Heidi is available for my next trip because she is awesome. Jim
Claire
Caroline was a fabulous sitter and looked after our cat and the house beautifully. She is sensible and very self-sufficient but also kept us informed. We came home to a happy cat and a tidy house. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others and hope she will sit for us again in the future!
Francine
Steven was a great sitter for our black lab Souris and cat Pinot. They were well looked after and really liked Steven. Our house was in good order when we got back and Steven was kind enough to give us a lift to and from the airport. He was very flexible, arriving day early so we could show him around.

My family have been sending our dogs here ever since I can remember. We have never had an issue and the owners are absolutely amazing and kind. They truly care about the animals in their care and the owners peace of mind.
My dog loves staying at RJ Pets! 🐾 I've taken her other places and when she got home, I could tell they didn't take care of her. Ever since then, she only goes to RJ Pets and have had zero problems. 🐾 Definitely recommend them. 😊 …
They are wonderful! I needed to board my cat at the last minute and they were able to save the day. Prices were reasonable and the staff is lovely and seem to truly enjoy taking care of the animals. My cat was in great shape after 5 days in their care. Two thumbs way up and I would absolutely use them again and highly, highly recommend. Facility was very clean and I was impressed that a place with that many animals didn’t smell like animals at all. Really impressive.
The dogs actually looked happy when I picked them up. Would recommend 👌 …
Have used RJ pets twice and they are a great place to leave your pet
We've been using RJ for years. Every time we leave town and we can't bring our fur babies, we trust that they'll be in good hands and we don't have to worry. Their pricing is competitive and they've almost always been able to squeeze us in even if we forgot to make a reservation. Make sure your pups are vaccinated or you'll be turned away!
We never like to leave our guy behind, but at RJ Pets we know that he is well loved and taken care of!
I have brought my dog there a few times in the past few weeks and they have been very polite and courteous when I go in. They remember my dogs name and allow me to pay when I drop her off so that my other half can just go get her after he is out of work. They seam to really lime there job and the animals they work with. The only down side was that I wanted to put my dog in the monthly payment and they said they couldn't because all the slots are full so now I pay more in 2 weeks then I would to pay for a whole month.
Really like RJs. My boys seemed to like staying there. Will definitely be going back.
My two boys absolutely love going to RJs for their pup-cations when we go away. Always happy when they go and when they come back. I trust the owners with my boys and have recommended this place to all my friends and family.

Marcia is awesome. She is always willing to keep my pup. Even short notice! She takes great care of him. Marcia is flexible with times and allows me to call her prior to our arrival incase I’m unsure of a pickup time. We have utilized her services for both daycare and over night boarding and every-time our dog is well taken care of. Thank you !
We take our Bernese Mountain Dog here whenever we go out of town. We've never had any issues or problems. Marsha is amazing and is always accommodating and nearly always available. Would definitely recommend!!
My dogs are family, so its important that they are taken very good care of when I'm out of town. Marsha at All About Dogs did a great job with them! I will definitely use their services again in the future.
We had our two dogs stay at all about dogs for a total of 9 days while we went on vacation. They charged a very fair rate of just $20/day for the both of our pups. They gave them a bath after their 8th day of being there. When we picked them up our dogs seemed to be very happy and they were super soft and clean. We will definitely use all about dogs when we need our dogs watched in the future.
Take care of my doggie "child" like their own; gave me updates every day, so wouldn't worry. Definitely will take my doggie to 'All About Dogs' again. Marcia did a great job! Thank you so much!
Amazing and very friendly people. Marcia is wonderful. You can call anytime to check on your animal. Had a great first time experience and will be back again. Very budget friendly too!!
Was available last minute when my sister backed out on us. I was able to call and check on my fur baby. Marcia was very nice and helpful
Love them! Our Newfoundland started having seizures whenever he would go places. They made him a special case and we're able to get him groomed because of them! Would recommend them to anyone!
Friendly staff. I had an unscheduled business trip come up and they were available to help me out with little to no advanced planning. And the thing that seals the deal for me: When I went back for a 2nd boarding, my little Leela (corgi) was excited to see the owner again, a whole-body-wag! I highly recommend!
Our Saint Bernard is always well cared-for during his visits and they have never turned us away, even for last-minute bookings. The price and hours are great for us as well.

I love this vet. The doctor I seen last time was very good and explained everything I asked and stayed and talked to me. He definitely loves his job. My doggie loved him as well! The vet/doc name is Nathan Metz, I hope to see him every visit.
We got a new puppy and needed a vet for her exam and shots. Metz Petz was able to get us in quickly. Dr. Nathan was our vet. He was wonderful!! He took his time and answered all of our questions. Our puppy loved him and gave him many kisses. All of the staff were great, friendly and efficient. Prices were very reasonable. 100% recommend Metz Petz!
My cat has not been eating for several days. I called Metz Petz of Shawnee in the afternoon and asked if they were accepting new clients. They were and were able to schedule an early morning appointment for the following day. They also advised that should an emergency happen, to go to the emergency animal hospital. When I arrived at Metz Petz of Shawnee, the staff was very nice. I met Dr. Nathan Metz who was nice and seemed to care about me and my cat. After an exam and some tests, Dr. Metz carefully and fully explained the diagnoses and treatment. When I was presented with the bill, I was pleasantly surprised that the cost was so reasonable. I definitely would recommend Metz Petz of Shawnee. Dr. Matz and staff were friendly, and the place had a good 'feel'.
We were referred by a friend to Metz Petz just a couple of months ago in a fairly emergency situation. I'm simply amazed at the care, compassion and knowledge that exists with this awesome team of doctors and their staff. Not to mention how very thankful. We are so fortunate and blessed to have them. Thank you all for everything.
Metz Petz is so good with Arlo! They are so gentle with his needs and know his personality so well! Love this vet, highly recommend! He’s been going here since he was 13 weeks and now he’s 2 yrs old!
I was so happy Dr Metz was willing to listen to me, and understood my way of wanting to raise our puppy.. The entire staff was super friendly, and I truly feel I have come to the right place. First rate care and pleasant atmosphere 🥰
Dr Nathan is a thoughtful and caring professional. He answers all my questions and I always feel he is giving Charlee the best of care. Everyone in the clinic is doing a great job!!!
We really love Metz Petz! We have 2 dogs and have been seeing Nathan and Melissa for about 5 years now. Our dogs really love both of them and so do we, both are really knowledgeable, they offer a great mix of traditional and homeopathic care, which I love! You can tell they really care about animals, they both know and remember us and our animals every time we come in, there's been times when we've needed extensive treatments Melissa didn't charge for some items that we couldn't afford to make sure they got everything they needed. Our Saint Bernard is really difficult to examine and highly stressed at the vet, Melissa is so gentle and patient with him, she really tries to make the experience as positive as possible. I also love that they personally have Saints, they are very experienced with giant breeds and issues/risks specific to them, which is difficult to find at most vets. Pricing is very reasonable, they always get us in right away if there's an urgent issue, if we can't come in they have us send pics and get advice over the phone, which has been a huge help at times! Everyone in the office is so friendly and does a great job, they just go above and beyond!
Pretty decent vet office. When my cat passed away earlier this month, I called them to ask questions on cremation for him. They were sympathetic and caring, talked me through what needed to be done, pricing, and answered any questions I may have had. This is my only true experience with them, but they seem to be very thorough and upfront. They work with Tails Remembered Cremation Services, which was helpful during a sad time for me. I gave a 4 star simply because that is all I know of their services, I may use them as a vet for the rest of my cats. I appreciate what they do.
I always recommend Metz Petz. And having a former vet at the Shawnee office is the icing on the cake....lol They take great care of my cats and have saved 2 of my cats' lives. They answer all questions. I wouldn't go anywhere else

Absolutely wonderful! Stickory is professional, friendly, reliable and my animals love to see them whenever we use their services. I feel comfortable leaving my animals with them for any length of time. I know they will be taken care of and I will receive daily updates. Awesome!
Phenomenal experience!! Judi not only took good care of Bronco but of his anxious mom too. I will highly recommend this service to everyone.
We moved from NY state back to OH and went from a 2.5 acre property to an apartment. Needless to say, our German Shorthair had some issues getting adjusted. Having Stickory available for daily walks/snacks while we went to work was a blessing. I looked forward to the emailed updates after each visit and had peace of mind knowing that our boy was being well cared for while we were away.
Dave with Stickory Pet Sitting did an excellent job taking care our dog, Buddy. Dave communicated with us daily to let us know how Buddy was doing, and he really took the time to make sure Buddy felt comfortable and loved while we were away. As a courtesy, Dave also got our mail and newspaper, which was very helpful. I highly recommend Stickory Pet Sitting.
Dave did a great job with our dogs when we were out of town for a week. He is so thorough in his preparation and outstanding in delivering exceptional pet care. We got daily multiple updates and wonderful pictures of our pups! We highly recommend Stickory to everyone who would prefer a much less stressful experience for their pets while they are out of town. We will definitely use Stickory in the future. Thanks Dave. Patty and Paul
We've used Stickory a couple of times in the past few months and have quickly become loyal customers! Dave is very organized and professional and treats our pets and home as he would his own. He is a wonderful communicator both when scheduling visits and while we are away. He definitely has a way with animals as he was able to work his magic to buddy up with our super shy kitty! It's so nice to know that our pets are being well tended to while we are away. I've been recommending Stickory to all of my local friends!
I needed a pet sitter on short notice due to a family emergency and unavailability of other options for pet care. Within three days Stickory completed the Meet and Greet and started their services when I requested them. They took excellent care of my two dogs, one of whom is a senior dog. In addition, Dave helped with things not related to pet care. In the future I will use their services again instead of boarding the dogs at the kennel we used previously. I highly recommend Stickory!
My cat, Selene, was very happy, healthy, and content when we arrived home from our trip thanks to Stickory. Our mail was on the counter. It was such a relief to know that someone was watching our house and our pet. I highly recommend Stickory.
Dave took GREAT care of our 2 “babies” during our vacation. In addition to attending to our dogs he made sure all was well at our house each day. Loved the updates and photos!! Super service! Highly recommend Stickory!!
Stickory provides a huge relief of mind when you need in-home pet care assistance. Dave & his team are reliable, trustworthy, & excellent with pets! *Still holds true 3 years later! Knowing our pets & home are being cared for makes our time away worry free. Thank you!
