I used Fetch many times, Gina was my cat sitter and my cats LOVED her, we are new to the area and I was so happy that we were able to find someone to watch our two kitties, who you can see in the photos! We hired them from August 3rd to August 11th and Paulette, the owner, was the one who watched them. We were so happy to have the owner take over for Gina, but it was the worst experience we have ever had and I have spent the entire last month trying to get this fixed. Our last visit was at 7:30 pm on August 11th and we returned at 6:00 am on August 12th. When we arrived our cats had no water at all, they have a large fountain and it was completely empty. What if I didn't get home until later that night? Their litter box was also almost empty, instead of the 3 inches we left it with there was only about 1/2 inch of litter, while the giant tub of litter was right outside the bathroom door. I leave a note detailing instructions, nothing complicated, but I don't believe it was ever read, cans were put in the open recycling instead of a closed garbage where we put them for safety. None of my outside plants were watered, the cats treat container was broken and just left on the counter, where the cats could get it. No one reached out to me the entire time I was gone to ask any questions at all. Gina would text me each time she visited, while I know that was extra it was appreciated. Honestly I would think that a trainee came into my home, not the owner of the company. I never write things like this but it was appalling . I have now spent the past MONTH trying to reach some sort of solution to this issue. I have emailed them 8 times, no response, and I know that they check the email because they have chose to text me, but then not respond to any emails. I texted them, I only asked for a partial refund for how honestly horrible the service was, but have got nothing back. I have never been treated this way I have no idea what is going on with this company. I travel 3-4 times a year and have hired Fetch for every trip, but never again. I am honestly so hurt and disappointed that they would treat my cats this way after I trusted them in their care and then never rectify the situation. I will NEVER use them again and warn others against using them. I spent a month trying to fix this so I don't have to be that person writing a bad review, but here we are.
Fetch! has been such a great service on our past few trips. We have had Monique and Adrienne help out. They take such great care of my cat and it gives me great piece of mind that she’s safe and happy. - They do a mini consult to meet the pet and go over the details of their visits. - for my pet, they clean the litter, refresh the water, refill the food, give snacks, and play/snuggle - after the visit you get photos from the session and a journal - they will even bring in delivery packages and cans, no problem!
Very easy to schedule pet sitting and the sitter is always responsive. They provide great care to my cats when I am out of town. I've been using them for the last few years anytime I am out of town and I have never had an issue. I would and have recommended them to friends.
I cannot recommend Fetch highly enough! The app is so well-organized; you will receive a "yes or no" checklist of things your pet-sitter did during each visit (fed, watered, scooped litter box, etc.) and if they return for multiple visits, they will also note how your pet reacted to those things (did they eat? want to play? use litter box?). They also send a personalized note and photo of your pet each visit; it was such a relief to be able to watch my cat get more and more comfortable hanging out with Paulette in real-time while I was away. :) They put so much care and attention into pet-sitting and communicating with pet-owners while doing so. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my cat!!
Highly satisfied and very happy with this company. Monique did a fantastic job cat sitting our two furbabies. She took notes of our instructions and gave us peace of mind making sure that our kitties are going to be safe and sound. She kept us posted in every visit and we love her regular journals and updates regarding her latest adventure with our cats. She is very prompt, thorough, and most of all, very caring and loving to all animals. We highly recommend Monique, her mom, and the entire Fetch! Pet Care.
I never have to worry about the care of my pets since I found Fetch! They are so dependable, the price is great, and the app is easy to use. I also love that the same wonderful Fetch! pet care person (thank you Lenore!) has always been available to care for my pets- cause when you have cats that take a bit to warm up to people, that is piece of mind! I have recommended Fetch! to two coworkers and they too are happy customers.
Monique understood exactly the situation I was facing, helping a family member who had to leave town for an emergency (and I'm in a different state). They were able to find a wonderful pet sitter for us in a flash, who was just wonderful with Cookie the kitty. We are so, so happy with the services of Jonathan, and would definitely ask for him again! Thank you.
We've had a great experience with Fetch. I am so happy that we connected with Lenore Wossidlo through the service. She is extremely reliable and has great availability. I know that she cares about my kitties just as much as I do. Fetch makes it easy to book and pay without adding stress to my schedule and travel.
Those of us who have pets know that they are not just "pets". They are members of our families. I had a family emergency and had to go out of town. Monigue took care of my bird at my home while I was away and she was absolutely great! Honestly, I think she took better care of "Nancy" than I do! She sent me a picture every time she visited which made me feel a lot better about leaving her in someone else's care. Another thoughtful item is that Monique did a "meet and greet " with Nancy and me before I left. She was also extremely responsive when I would send her a text regarding any additional information she may have needed, etc. I would use their service again in a heartbeat.
Monique did an awesome job checking in on my two cats for 9 days. She was reliable and took care of everything they needed. One of the cats knocked over a glass and she let me know immediately, swept it up, and checked to make sure neither of them were hurt. I would use her again for peace of mind while away!
When we started to plan a trip to Italy, I couldn’t get too excited until I knew who would watch our dogs. Our regular sitter could only cover the first several nights, so I had to find someone to cover the rest of the trip. I looked for hours to find someone who meets our high standards and could stay at our home, especially since we would be an ocean away. Once we did a meet and greet with Gabby I knew she would be perfect. Our dogs loved her and she sent us tons of photos, videos and updates. There is no doubt these pups had constant love and attention. I never had to worry about them which allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation. When we came home they were calm and healthy. I would not be able to say that if we left them at a kennel. We feel like we made a new friend and am so happy to know I can trust her with our kids. Our home was clean and all secure when we returned, what a great experience. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Salute!
I don't even know where to begin. Let's just say I have two high maintenance dogs, one being elderly and one being a Jack Russell (enough said on that one!) I always struggle to relax when I am away, because the older dog has separation anxiety, and at nearly fifteen years old, I know her days are numbered. It is hard for me to have peace of mind not being able to be the main caretaker of her. Then I found Gabby. I have never had a vacation where I was able to relax and not be worried about how everything was going at home. Gabby went above and beyond, even with the crazy medication and supplement schedule I have the senior gal on, and the demanding nature of a high drive breed. She sent updates and pictures every single day. I did not have to wonder what was happening or how everything was going. I honestly could write pages about how amazing our experience with Gabby was, but let's just say this.. BOOK HER NOW. I'm already looking for dates for vacation next year so I can be sure to have her in advance. Could not have asked for anything more from her at all. If I could give an infinite amount of stars, I would!!
I have 2 tiny dogs that have super sensitive stomachs and eat 4 times a day. I had to travel out of state for almost a week and was extremely preoccupied about leaving my 2 little ones. I found Melrose pet resort, and let me tell you that Gabby is the most amazing, comprehensive, and pet lover dog sitter you could found. She took care of my babies like they were hers, she went above and beyond to accommodate them so they could be separated from bigger dogs, as I asked, they could have their meals at their regular schedule and she also kept updating me constantly with videos and pictures of my little ones. They had such a great time with her, got to make a few little friends that were staying at her place, and even participated in a Christmas photoshoot!. She gave me piece of mind while on my trip, and I definitely will be using her services next time I travel.
I cannot recommend Gabby and Melrose Pet Resort enough! As a bulldog owner I’m always looking for the best care possible since our boy tends to need a little extra attention, and we absolutely found it with Gabby. She followed our directions to a “T”, and went above and beyond. She also sent us videos and updates throughout our vacation, putting my mind at ease about how our boy was doing. She also took great care of our home while we were away. Gabby is the best and we can’t wait to plan our next vacation and get on her schedule!
Gabby’s attention to detail is on another level. She did an amazing job with our dog, Remi. He is a creature of habit, and his transition from us being out of town to Gabby staying with him and taking care of his routine was seamless. She thinks of everything to ease your mind of what is going on. Her love for animals is apparent, and I appreciate that so much. Remi has specific medications that have to be taken, and I was not worried about Gabby covering everything perfectly. All the wonderful pictures she sent was a bonus, she should consider being a pet photographer! Thank you so much for taking care of our spoiled boy, Remi!
I cannot rave about how great Gabby and Kris were with my dog! Being a sitter myself I know I can trust them with my anxious little boy going forward. I have never left my dog with anyone but my family before and him being an older and anxious dog I was not sure how he’d do. But almost immediately Gabby and Kris made him feel so comfortable and right at home. He received all the attention and affection he needed and I also received all the updates and pictures I needed to know he was doing great. Knowing how well he was taken care of now makes me wonder why I was even worried about him to begin with! After this stay at Melrose Pet Resort I can now look forward to my upcoming trips and enjoy them worry free 🤩🥰
If you want your fur family cared for in the most transparent and considerate way, book with Melrose Pet Resort! Gabby was prompt, communicative, and attentive. During our 9 day vacation we were nervous to leave our shy cat alone since this would be the longest time away. We expressed this to Gabby, who reassured us before and during our trip. She listened as we oriented her to our home and pet. She sent so many lovely pictures and videos while we were away to reassure us our pandemic pet was doing well. Upon our return she checked in inquired about feedback! LGBTQIA++ family friendly pet sitter.
Talk about an AMAZING dog sitter and person, Melrose Pet Resort is a far better pet sitter that I ever came across. I came from out of state, and we were recommended to Melrose Pet Resort while we look for a home. Contacted her and immediately got a quick response. I never in my life have as much interaction with her as other dog sitters in the past. I have a Deaf dog and one with diet needs... Gabby constantly send photo's and video's of there activities, and I could see how happy my fur babies were. She is very personal and active with my pets and I am excited to have her again and as well as Chico and Bella. I am glad I am moving to Florida knowing when I need Gabby again, I will never have to worry about my fur babies again, knowing they will be in great care.... WOOF WOOF APPROVED
Hands-down, the best pet sitter I've ever had the honor to work with. It was like leaving the dogs with a family friend. If I even had the slightest worry about them or their care, it vanished in the rain of delightful photos and videos and the constant updates about breakfast, dinner, lizard hunts and games of Ball. It is just possible that my dogs had a better time than I did while I was on vacation. They stayed in their very own room, in crates for everyone's safety, but were out and about quite a lot of the time (certainly WAY more than they would be in a kennel or daycare) and they were treated like family. They got to "help" make dinner and cuddle on the sofa and watch TV. Obi even got to chase MANY BALLS AT THE SAME TIME. Heaven! Obi and Ursa can't wait to stay with Aunt Gabby again!
We recently put our baby Jasmine here after searching for a boarding facility for weeks. And I can't say how happy we are that we decided to choose Melrose Pet Center opposed to one of those facilities. Not only did she get personalized care, she got love and affection the entire time. We know so because Gabby sent us updates daily; mornings, afternoons when she could, and night. She sent Pictures and videos and Jasmine looked like she was having the time of her life. I also loved the cute bandanas she had while we got the pictures. We were even lucky enough to get a pic of Jas with Santa in their home (Thanks Kris!! Lol). Jasmine also enjoyed playing with her dogs, tiring them out all day! If we could give more than 5 stars, we absolutely would! Thank you again for treating our pup like she was one of your own!
We love Modern Dog! You can tell Jordan (owner) and his staff Tim, Noel etc really love dogs and enjoy caring for them. We have a very high energy pup that needs to socialize and they welcome her with open arms.They tolerate her antics with ease and most importantly she always comes home tired and relaxed. Modern Dog has been a life saver!
Modern Dog is the BEST! They have taken such great care of our dog, and she is always so thrilled to spend a day with them. Jordan and the rest of the staff are incredibly friendly and reliable. We have also really appreciated their pickup and dropoff add-on service! On top of all that, they do seasonal photoshoots with the dogs which is so cute and makes Modern Dog extra speical. All-around amazing doggy daycare with wonderful humans running it -- highly, highly recommend.
Our dog is kind of a grumpy old man but he absolutely LOVES going here. Staff is great, our dog is always super excited to see them. Makes us feel really good about dropping him off. Super reasonably priced, they take great care of the animals and are really communicative and friendly. Wonderful place.
Modern Dog is fantastic. The owner Jordan and all the staff are really great and I know they take great care of our dogs, Pepper and Dino (and I know they can sometimes be a handful!). They also do great seasonal photos with the dogs for every holiday!
We love Modern Dog, and more importantly, our dog loves Modern Dog! The team caring for the pups is the best. It is wonderful to be able to trust that your pup is well cared for while at daycare. We are so lucky to have found Modern dog.
My dog gets ecstatic to go and that tells me a lot. On the days we take our pup, he runs inside without looking back. Typically you have to trick him to go into places:)They take very good care of pups! People who work there are very kind and wonderful and truly care about animals. We are so lucky to have you so close to our home! Thank you for all you do!
Modern Dog is wonderful! I visited 3 different options before deciding on daycare for my 5 month old puppy. Modern Dog impressed me by how careful they are to make sure all the pups are having fun and acclimating well. It is a small business and you can tell everyone involved really cares. They also offer local pick-up and drop off which is a lifesaver for me! My dog absolutely LOVES coming here and always returns home happy and tired from playing all day.
There is not enough to say about Danielle and her team but let me try. (1) They love dogs. (2) They love my dogs and make my husband and me better dog parents. (3) They are 120% reliable and they do everything plus more to help their clients and the pups. (4) They are "good people". You know what I mean. (5) Danielle, the owner, is creative, dynamic, filled with positive energy, and just a terrific person who goes out of her way to help her clients. (6) Where else could your dog celebrate her own birthday plus every other major holiday on the calendar with a party? Danielle throws these dogs theme parties (with decorations and games and photos) for Valentine's Day, July 4th, Halloween (oh, that's a good one) ... Easter, Xmas, Thanksgiving ... the list is endless. This is the best place ever.
5 stars doesn't do Modern Dog justice! Danielle and her staff are the best. They always go the extra mile with holiday parties and photos. Our dog is always excited to go to daycare and always exhausted when we pick her up. The best money you will spend as a new dog parent!
An absolutely superbly-run, boutique doggie day care. Delightful and energetic and detail-oriented owner. Excellent staff who love the dogs and a fun program of events around every holiday/special day. Our three dogs use both the day care and the boarding options and they love both! We have also done walks sometimes, and they have been great, too. Well-priced for the high quality service.
I cannot say enough good things about Merry Puppins. My previous dog walker had struggled to bond with my challenging chihuahua and I was looking for a fresh start. The ladies of Merry Puppins have been a huge breath of fresh air! They take their time with my pups, use lots of positive reinforcement, and have worked miracles. I think my dogs might like them more than they like me. The added socialization of having multiple “new friends” has also made a huge difference for my little girl, and she’s much less nervous around new people now and getting better every day.
Merry Puppins treats your animals like family. They know my pups mean everything to me and they show them so much love and care. I love all the photos and journal updates. It really brightens up my day when I'm away from the pups. I truly appreciate everything that they do.
I have been a regular customer of Merry Puppins for a number of years and have always been exceptionally pleased with their care as well as their accommodating unusual work schedules. They treat my pets with great kindness and consideration and I never worry about my home or my pets in their presence. I appreciate and enjoy the pictures and commentary provided with their visits. Highly recommend this reputable, dependable, caring and efficiently run business.
They understand that our “pets” are our family and treat them and us with great kindness. Melissa is very professional, has high standards for herself and her staff. Already my rescue feels safe with her and because dogs are excellent judges of character, so do I. My other little girl is very nervous and Merry Puppins respects her needs.
We love having Merry Puppins take care of our pets while we're away. They are truly knowledgable about animals, extremely trustworthy, and professional. We get updates and photos from them after each visit, and Melissa has even crawled into a small space to make sure my hiding scaredy-cat was doing okay! They can also bring in mail and do a few other minor tasks. Their scheduling system is easy to use, and the interface allows for all of your information and communication to be in one spot. We love their service and highly recommend them!
Really excellent experience. I have 2 rescue dogs: one is a bit dog reactive and has a history of separation anxiety and the other is a pandemic puppy, who is new to me working out of the home and can be a bit shy of strangers in the house. Melissa did great working with both of them, she made sure they were comfortable, filled their water, brought in packages, etc. I also loved getting the little report after the visit with pictures and a description -- it gave me such peace of mind! Definitely excellent value and very worth it -- especially for those of us who can't send their dogs to day care or whose dogs need a little more experienced/specialized hand! Highly recommend!
Everyone at Merry Puppins is so attentive to detail, and so incredibly responsible! My pup has a lot of medical concerns (and comes with a lot of instructions!), and they always take care of everything to the letter. Their updates/check ins are adorable and thorough, and help put my mind at ease!
I after my first weekend using Merry Puppins, I’m completely satisfied! Melissa and Erika took such good care of my kitties. They sent wonderful pictures and notes each time they came and they made me feel very relaxed about it all. Great people!
Mary was the perfect match for my husband and I while we were looking for cat sitters for our two cats, Spook, and Tiny. We were gone for 15 days, and Mary came once a day at the same time every day to feed, pet, and give treats to our boys. She sent daily updates with messages and photos showing us how they were doing, cleaned up their messes, scooped their litter box, and brought our packages in. We slept so soundly and enjoyed our vacation so much more because she made us feel like we were in good hands. Thank you so much, Mary! 10/10 would recommend.
Always excellent care and communication with all the folks at Merry Puppins. I feel reassured knowing they are there to take care of Mango and that they will go above and beyond if need be. Highly recommend!!!
