Bowser's Buddy provides outstanding care and service! Kimberly and her
team furnish what matters most: they love my dog like I would and they
are completely reliable. I have used them for years to cover
overnights, day care and walks. Kimberly gets all the particulars
associated with each pet. Unlike other solutions, my dog gets excited
to go with Kimberly. She comes back well exercised and happy. I can't
say enough good things...

I was interested in scheduling a consultation and getting a quote from them, but never gotten a response whatsoever! I would not recommend a business who don't care about new customers.
Response from Bowser's Buddy Pet Care
"Dear (member name removed). I am terribly sorry if you did not recieve a response from me! I respond to all inquiries. I have a vague recollection of responding to someone in Santa Clara stating that I do not service tha area and would have been happy to offer other pet sitter's information if requested. Again, somehow something happened that was entirely unintentional on my part. I feel as you do, that response to inquiries is at the very least polite and proper etiquette in the business world. With deepest regret for the faux pas and I hope that you have found someone that you can trust with your furry loved ones. Sincerely, Kimberley-Owner Bowser's Buddy Pet Care"

We have used her about 5 times and the girls love her. Mail was taken in, the backyard was all cleared( we had poops for weeks), but she cleaned up everything without being asked. She is great, Emd of story.

"Hey there member! Such a kind report. Caring for Hound and Gertie is always a perfect pleasure.Little Gertie enters our conversations at least once a month! What a crack-up little cartoon character. Hope that pups and peops are doing perfectly. Kimberley"

They are reliable. I can count them to be there. I have a pet who is prone to throwing up sometimes and that has happened a couple of times and they actually clean up. I will use them in the future.
Response from Bowser's Buddy Pet Care
"Hey there Member. Always a pleasure caring for Romeo and Mocha, even when a little clean up is needed. You review says that you are going to sue me in the future! I believe you mixed your letters up and meant "use". Makes for very interesting reading though! Hope to see the kids again soon, Kimberley"

They took care of my cat, once when my regular pet sitter couldn’t accommodate. They have a bigger dog sitting facility, than a cat. They were fine, but again a little expensive. I may use their services in future.

Response from Bowser's Buddy Pet Care
"Thank you member for your report. Kind words are always appreciated. Hope that all is well. Kimberley"

I have used Kimberley and her sister several times to sit for my cat John Doe, and have been overall pretty pleased. Kimberley calls right away to let you know if anything is amiss, and leaves a detailed handwritten note at the end of her visit. She is very attentive and is observant about her wards' health - she spotted my cat's kidney problem months in advance, and it turned out I should have taken him to a vet as soon as she suggested it, instead of waiting for more symptoms to show up. She takes initiative, and once even made a catnip toy for my cat out of some scrap fabric from my sewing discards. She is conscientious of security of the house, and always locks both the handle and the deadbolt even when I personally only bother with the deadbolt. (I leave a lockbox on my front door handle which she uses to access the keys.) She also offers to bring in mail or take the trash to the curb. I pay with cash in an envelope which I leave with my instructions, but she may take other payment types. Her pricing has been $25/day standard, an extra $10/day on holidays, and an extra $10/day for subcutaneous fluids (though she doesn't charge extra for pills). I originally thought this might be on the high side, but now think this is likely standard for the Bay area. Regardless, it is worth it, because I don't worry when I travel, and when I used to take John to kennels or leave him home alone for several days I would come back to a ball of stress with coarse, unkempt fur, but when Kimberley takes care of him, I come home to a contented kitty.
