Patty is the best! I’ve never used a pet sitter before and was feeling a little anxious about leaving the fur babies while I was away for longer periods of time. She sent me updates/pictures every day and from our first meeting, I could tell she was reliable and an animal lover. I’ve worked with her a couple of times now and feel at peace knowing she’s taking care of my kitties. She is wonderful and I’m so grateful that I found her!
We recently went on vacation and for the first time, our friends/neighbors were not able to care for our dogs. Our older guy, Buddy has never been in a kennel and has very high anxiety. I was so stressed about who was going to take care of them, that I had a difficult time getting excited about our trip. I found a business card for Ponderosa Patty that I got a year ago from our vet, and called her. It was short notice but she was very accommodating and eager to assist. We dropped them off the night before and she and her husband took time to talk with us so we could get to know them, their routine and to be comfortable. We had given Buddy anxiety medication and instructed Patty to give it to him when the shaking started. She constantly sent me pictures of Buddy happy and our other dog Sammy, going for walks, tails wagging. Riding in cars on her husband's lap, laying on them sleeping in their home, etc. Buddy NEVER had to have anxiety meds! They are very calm and loving with the animals and the animals knew it. I am so happy to have found Patty and will happily call her next time we need her. Thank you Patty for giving our dogs so much love and comfort and easing OUR anxieties!
We have taken several trips and have left the care of our dogs, parakeets, and home to Spokane's Best Pet Sitter. Patty is a most professional, trustworthy, and dependable individual who has shown a sincere interest and care for our pets. We received photos almost daily along with any questions or concerns related to our time away. We go away with complete peace of mind and confidence that everything will be taken care of while we are gone. We highly recommend her services.
“Ponderosa Patty is absolutely the best caretaker for our large number of animals we have on this small farm. She has given all of them great care and we feel very comfortable leaving them in her hands when we are out of town. We have 5 horses, 3 cats, 3 chickens, 2 dogs and a handicapped large tortoise as well as a few bee hives. Patty walks the dogs as well as feeding and watering all the animals. I feel very comfortable with her knowledge and skill as an animal caretaker and my dogs love her! She sends us pictures of all of them too which we love! Thank you Patty!!”
A million stars ⭐️! Patty is so trustworthy and loving to my pups! I feel lucky 🍀 that my pups have her when I’m gone. She spoils them and sends me updates everyday❤️ thank you Patty for your care and attention to my dogs and home. I hope you know how amazing and appreciated you are 💕⭐️🙌. …
The name is correct, Patty is the BEST pet sitter in Spokane!! My entire family recently went on vacation together so this was the first time I've ever had to use a pet sitter for my cats and looking for someone on the internet can be scary and daunting. I am SO glad I found Patty! She took such great care of our cats and made sure that even our shy one got some love too. I am SO thankful to have found her, it made our vacation so much more enjoyable knowing our fur babies were well taken care of! Will forever recommend her to anyone that needs a pet sitter!
“We have used Ponderosa Patty for several years. She is very efficient and my cats LOVE her. When we come home they act like they never noticed we left. She loves on each and every one of them…We had 4 cats and a bunny…and even my cranky old man cat came out for her. She is so flexible with scheduling it makes everything easier. Patty is wonderful! ”
Ponderosa Patty has been so great watching our cat Binx the two times we have used her!! She sends pictures every visit so you can see that your pet is being well taken care of!! I would definitely recommend her and will be using her for our future trips!!
Patty took excellent care of my pup while we were away. She gave regular updates and took extra care to make sure our nervous doggo felt comfortable around her. We will be booking her again for future trips.
Patty was wonderful with my 2 kitties. She accommodated the special needs of the one that is 16. I loved that she sent me pictures and texts each day to keep me informed. She is very easy to communicate with and very responsive to questions. I think her price is very fair for the services she provides which included giving medication to my old girl. Would give her more stars if I could. I know I can travel now with confidence when Patty is taking care of my kitties.
Amy and her team have been fantastic to work with. We depend on Amy's for midday walks, dinner feedings and occasional overnight stays. I love the texts I get with photos from walk or play. Both dogs respond well to Amy (all animals do I think!) and others on her team. They are very professional and caring. Its worth the cost to know that the dogs will be safe, cared for and loved!
We have been using Amy’s Pet Sitting for years now. Both for vacations and daily dog visits when we are at work. They do an amazing job, are dependable and so loving towards my animals. They always give me updates no matter how short the visit and consistently go above and beyond. I have recommended them to neighbors as well and have heard nothing but good things about their care!
I have used Amys Pet Sitting service for two durations of almost one week each time. The service is outstanding. They are timely in getting back to me when checking availability. I also was lucky to have the same person stay at my home and take care of my fur babies both times. Freddy is absolutely outstanding and my fur babies love her! She also is an outstanding communicator and she keeps me informed on how the fur babies are doing while I am out of town. This gives me tremendous peace of mind that everything is good. I highly recommend Amys Pet Sitting Service if you have the need for any of their services. Kind Regards, Jamie
Amy and her team take great care of our pets whether it’s a daytime visit and walk or an overnight stay. They are thorough, reliable and easy to schedule with. They take seriously the care of the pets they are watching over. It is hard sometimes to leave your pets behind but we feel so confident and grateful knowing they are in good hands . We always get updates and know if there ever was a problem with our dogs they would be well taken care of in our absence .
Not only are my pets family, they are "special" too - which requires just the right person who can deal with the multi-page instructions I leave and be perfectly fine with it - complete understanding. Amy herself, or one of her trustworthy sitters, does a great job with my animals. I never worry because she follows all my weird instructions, has great safety and backup protocols in place - and she keeps in contact for the whole service period so I never have to wonder how my critters are or if she's been there. Look no further - but make sure to get your request for dates in as soon as you can because she's becoming quite popular and busy!
This service has been the best! I recently moved and was worried because I didn’t have my pet sitter any more. I’ve used Amy’s service for my cats 5 times since moving here a year ago. They are always friendly, send me pictures at each visit. The cats are we always well cared for!
I knew Amy was someone I trusted to care for my precious animal family the minute she came over to meet them. She spent a long time chatting with me and getting to know each animal individually. She sends me photos, videos, and written text message updates after each visit. Even my most fearful cat comes out for her and allows her to pet him and play with him. She’s a true animal lover and my animals love her so so do I!
We had daily text message reports of our dog's playing and pooping. And it was clear that Amy had played with him after his morning meal because he expected us to keep up the good behavior she'd demonstrated! Clearly he wasn't just "taken care of" but loved up, and we'll be delighted to use her excellent service the next time we leave town.
I started using Amy's Pet Sitting service on a recommendation from one of their current clients. All I can say is...what a relief! What a relief to not have to rely on friends and family to occasionally care for our dog and two cats (who may or may not have time or even want to do it, but will out of obligation ). What a relief to be able to schedule professional care online and develop a relationship with the staff and caregivers. What a relief to no longer worry if the pet sitter is actually there with our animals (photos and texts come during their visits). What a relief to be able to pay online and not leave checks laying around while we are away. What a relief to have OPTIONS for the type and length of visits. And on...and on... I am forever grateful for the recommendation and the care we get from Amy's Pet Sitting. I'd give 6 stars if I could. ;) Thank you!
We came into town for a concert and noticed last minute that we forgot our keys to lock our vehicle. Amy's Pet Sitting was called 3 hours before the show was to start, and delivered for us in a big way. The sitter was amazing, the last minute help was amazing and they couldn't have been more accommodating. Beyond 5 stars. We're indebted.
I never review anything, but the service I got from Pet Pals was beyond any expectation. If you have any pet sitting needs I highly recommend them. My two cats were happy and content when I got home and it was obvious Pam went above and beyond to keep them calm, which is no small feat for my two skittish rescue cats. I cannot stress enough how great the service was and not to mention very affordable, even for a poor graduate student like myself haha
Pam and her family have been sitting for our large dog & 2 cats since I found Pet Pals on Angie’s list in 2015. We take between 8-10 trips a year. Some are just overnight & some are weeklong. She is professional & does little extras like raising & lowering shades, bringing in mail, and moving garbage cans to protect our home. Our beloved animals always seem relaxed & happy when we get home. I have recommended Pet Pals to all my friends.
Pam and her family are hard working, honest people! They go out of their way for their customers. We have been always hado great experiences with them! Highly recommend their services.
