Description of Work: The person that came and met my dogs was not the one that came to take care of them. I had no idea that there would be someone else in my pets care.

Response from ProCare Home And Pet Services LLC
I'm disappointed that ProCare's service was not to your satisfaction. ProCare does employ several Independent Contractors (IC). During initial consultations, it is our policy to mention that scheduling may require the use of one of those ICs in order to provide the service requested. It is true that one of my associates did visit your home on 18 June 2014. I did accompany her on that visit. When she returned for the next visit on 19 June, she was bitten rather severely by Krispy. I then took over for her and returned for visits on the 20-24 July. During my visits, Krispy did make several attempts at biting me. He ripped my shorts on one occasion. I did appreciate the fact that you compensated ProCare for medical expenses and would have enjoyed serving you in the future if not for this unfortunate situation. I’m also disappointed that throughout our communications following the 18 June incident you did not raise any concerns until writing this review over one year later.

Description of Work: Eric takes great care of the critters. He always texts me when he's there to let me know how they are. We're also able to see him on our security cameras and he takes time to play with the dogs and cat while he's there. We've been extremely happy with his service.

We relied on ProCare to take care of our home while we were out of state. Without them, it wouldn't have been possible. Their prices were reasonable, and they always provided great service. We would highly recommend them to anyone who needs a trustworthy, responsible company to care for their home!
Description of Work: We used ProCare home services extensively over the past couple years. They provided us with monthly checks on our house (we were out of the area), provided house cleaning as requested, and conducted repairs when needed. They were always trustworthy and reliable and we would highly recommend them! When poor weather resulted in flooding in our area, we called ProCare. They were there immediately to check things out and ensure that all was okay at our house.

ProCare checked on my house while I was out of town. They did a very thorough check of the property. The cost was reasonable and well worth the peace of mind. I will use them again.

We had originally used Erik for two shorter jobs and a third that was a bit longer during 2012. The shorter trips each time something went wrong or was forgotten. Erik did not take notes during the consultation and therefore on the first visit forgot some very basic things such as where things were including the litter boxes and that we recycled. The dogs displayed signs of stress and destructive behavior such as shredding up their pillows, which they had never done that before. Originally we took that as the getting to know period and the dogs being stressed that we were away. So we had Erik already booked for our November 2012 trip to England and also for our Wedding trip to Hawaii in December. We had Erik over for our end of November 2012 trip and when we returned it was obvious the dogs were stressed, still displaying destructive behaviors, that they were not getting the promised play and exercise time as promised, a plate was broken, things in the office and the bedroom seemed to have been gone through (papers shuffled around the office desk, and a hutch had a cover and a statue on the floor, and a light and fan left on. When we asked Erik about the irregularities he said the plate must have been pushed off by a cat, that he went into the bedroom to and quot;count nosesand quot; but was sure he turned off the light, and when asked about how much play time the dogs were getting he stated not as much as he would have liked due to the cold. As we used Erik a total of 4 times some of these incidents I don't remember exactly what pet sitting job they happened. But again, it seemed that something went wrong every visit. At the 3 visit which was longer, we were very disappointed in the lack of quality, time, attention to detail that Erik showed us, but unfortunately for us, we had to stay with him for our December Wedding trip as there was not enough time to find someone new. When we returned from our December trip, again, the animals were very stressed, the pond heater had gone out and was undetected by Erik, thereby all of the fish had died, and we returned to one of our dogs with a very serious heat rash on her underside. One of the last two visits, Erik also got stuck in the driveway and used our personal truck to get unstuck without permission. He also never called regarding the pond freezing over, or the dog rash. When we returned again, we questioned him on these things, he said he never noticed the rash (which was hard to miss as she is white with a light under belly and her rash was blazing pink/red - he apologized for using the truck without permission and again for not noticing the heater stopped working in the pond. These are all unacceptable of a pet sitter behavior and the fact that we were promised at least 1 hour visits, 3-4 times a day, and overnights and the animals were stressed and not properly exercised is not a quality pet sitting service provider. To Eriks credit, he is working with us on replacing the water heater, pump that broke as a result and still we are pending whether or not we will need to replace the liner.
Description of Work: Pet Sitting 2 dogs, 4 cats, outdoor fish and pond care - physical play was required, overnight stays were requested, mail pick up, litter box cleaning for 17 days/nights. Price was fair, however, the lack of quality and exercise/play time was not what was promised for the price therefore my price rating is a "c" Punctuality I am rating a 'c' as well because we aren't here so we don't know when exactly Erik arrived or left and how much time he really spent. When our neighbor watched, it did not appear that his time spent here matched his logs given.

This client is a pet sitter who was hired by the property owner to take care of the pets while the property owner was deployed overseas. The client (pet sitter) hired us to fill in while they themselves travelled. If you can imagine being a pet in this situation. The stress of being cared for by a pet sitter while your owner is away on a long absence, and then being cared for by another group of people you don't know - the pet sitter's pet sitter. We have hundreds of satisfied clients and we encourage them to let us know if there is ever anything they are unhappy with about our service. This client did not express any dissatisfaction with us, and it further speaks volumes that after our first three series of short visits they did not put forth an effort to locate another pet sitter when they went on vacations four and five. The client did not complete their intake paperwork, which is where they would have written instructions regarding how to take care of the pets and the home. ProCare filled out the paperwork for the client during the consultation and filled in the notes as completely as possible. Consequently, the client has indicated that there were a few things missed such as where we disposed of the cat food cans. (ProCare now has an online client portal where the customer can log in at any time to fill out and update those instructions.) Three of the complaints this client has made are weather related issues: the dogs outside play time, the outdoor fishpond, and the property owner's vehicle. The property is located in a heavily wooded area; there were massive amounts of snow and the temperatures reached below zero. The dogs played outside for as long as they wanted; ProCare did not force the dogs to stay outside in massive snowdrifts and sub-zero temperatures. The heater on the fishpond could not keep up with the weather; ProCare updated the client regarding its condition and paid for the repair even though there was nothing we could have done in our limited service agreement to prevent the damage. Neither the client nor the property owner had anyone clear the long uphill driveway of snow drifts (it is the responsibility of the client to ensure the property is accessible) and ProCare damaged the property owner's vehicle attempting to maneuver the drifts. ProCare paid for the damage to the vehicle. As to the client's other complaints. We were present in the home when one of the cats knocked the plate off the kitchen counter. The client said desk papers were ruffled and that a hutch cover and statue were knocked on the floor; there is no doubt the cats are capable of doing these things. The client asked why a light/ceiling fan were left on; ProCare rotates lights in the house each day to make the home look lived in. The client said there was a rash on one of the dogs; there was no such rash present while in our care. With apologies to the public for taking this long to respond. ProCare felt that any response to this review would exacerbate an already very difficult relationship and situation. As time has passed we have come to understand that every review needs to receive a response. Certainly, this relationship was out of the ordinary. We learned a lot from it and are a better company because of it.

I contacted Eric and we met and I introduced him and my dog. We did the contract and the liability paperwork (in case something happens so he can go to the vet). He's been by every work day since and my dog loves him!!! I picked this company because they are willing to work with me, even though I am outside of city limits.
Description of Work: He stops by my house every day and takes my very high energy dog on a half hour walk/romp. I truly appreciate the fact that I don't have to rush home to walk the dog in the middle of the day, and I appreciate the fact the dog is exercised during the day. :)
