Testimonials

"Dawn and her staff have been a wonderful resource. They are caring, reliable and responsive, especially to Baby's (she's a senior) special needs. We particularly like Dawn's daily report card summarizing what she and Baby did together. We highly recommend 'A Pet's Best Friend'.

- Jan, Mike, and Baby Francis

"Dawn has known Polo since he was about a year old. She lived across the hall from us and Polo could usually sense Dawn walking outside in the hallway and would walk up to the door from the inside wanting to go out. Even though Polo is usually quite particular with who he chooses to be friendly to, he has always had a soft spot for Dawn. She's one of the few people he lets come up and play with him. He can obviously sense she has a love for animals." 

- Jorinne Jackson

"Leaving our cats behind is always rough, but it's become a whole lot easier since discovering A Pet's Best Friend. Dawn and her crew are everything we want from a sitter: friendly, reliable and accommodating. The best part is their detailed notes from each visit: It's clear that a bond has developed between our cats and A Pet's Best Friend." 

-Dan Brown and Susan Slusser

"A Pet's Best Friend' has been taking care of Phoenix and Faith for over 12 years. They are special kitties who were feral and are very shy. They love Dawn and even let her feed them treats! Dawn doesn't mind our requests to spoil them and our need for reassurance as worried parents."

- K. Kish

"My best friend is Pookie, and we are really glad that we can trust and count on the folks at 'A Pet's Best Friend' to take such good care of Pookie and our house when we are away."

- Lori & Karl Berger

"Thanks for taking such good care of me when my family went on vacation. I had (almost) as much fun as they did, and I get fed too! They really appreciated your taking care of the mail and the plants, and things, and I'm glad you like all of us pets, not just "cats and dogs. See you soon, Love Pebbles."

- Turtle Owners are Gerry Alley and Lani Souw
