dog and cat sitting

Sally came two times per day and kept the house "running" and 3 cats happy = I'm happy!!

Excellent - very thorough with follow up

I have always boarded my dogs while i was away but in july we were leaving for 5 days and i had a foster dog in addition to my 2 pet dogs so it was going to be cost prohibitive to board. I found G and S on Angies list and thought i'd give them a try. Well, simply put, they are awesome! This is how everything went--Susan, the owner, and Diane, the other sitter, came to my house and met the animals and took extensive notes. My dogs aren't too difficult, but do get alot of supplements with dinner, and my one dog has incontinence sometimes at night, so special instructions were needed for her. None of this was extra, everything was included in the low, low price. Also, i have a cat that i insisted didn't need to be taken care of, but they cleaned his litter box and refilled his water anyway. How awesome is that? They also bring in mail, and take out trash. Doesn't this sound like someone you'd like to marry? I am out of town quite a bit for work, and will continue to use them forever. I also think it's a nice touch that they request that you text them when you get home, so they don't worry about your pets. I actually forgot to text Susan last time, and she drove by my house just to make sure. Love it! Plus they take all forms of payment, so paying is super easy. I definitely feel like my pets are getting the best care possible while i'm away, maybe even better than the care they get when i'm home!

Susan (owner) has been my petsitter for several years and I highly recommend her for anyone who needs petsitting. I have a houseful of special needs dogs (one is blind, one is partially paralyzed in a wheelchair, two are just really old) and I trust no one else to watch my dogs for me when needed. She takes great care to ensure that she knows all the individual needs, habits, personalities and quirks of each dog. I never worry if someone is on meds as Susan is a total pro. Last, I am a bit of a 'high maintenance' owner and I love that I can call and check on my dogs anytime when I'm out of town. I finally have the ability to have some flexibility in my schedule thanks to Susan. I HIGHLY recommend Gand S Pet Services for anyone who is looking for a petsitter!

I have a multi-cat household and it is difficult to find a dependable sitter that I can count on. I often don't take trips because I worry that my kitties won't be taken care of properly. I no longer have that concern.
Susan and Amy arrived for the interview and introduction to my kitties on time and they were very thorough in taking the application information and asking questions about the kitties and my home. I ended up having to postpone my trip due to work constraints, but I was able to touch base with Amy while I rescheduling the trip. When my plans were cast in stone, Amy was available.
Communications with both Amy and Susan were very good. Phone calls and emails were promptly answered.
Amy touched base with me via phone the first evening she dropped by the house and assured me my home was secure and my kitties were taken care of. She let me know she could text me after each visit . Communications and trust are key to me for leaving my kitties home with a sitter.
When I came home, my house was secure, neat, and the food/water bowls were full and the litter boxes were clean. My kitties were all happy and healthy. Amy went above and beyond in her duties. I was a happy camper.
I have hired other pet sitting services in the past as well as had friends say they will take care of my kitties while I was out of town and not felt secure with those decisions. I would have no issue in recommending Gand S Pet Services to anyone for pet sitting services. I know I will use them again in the future. I will also ask for Amy in particular. She was an angel with my kitties.

Owner, Susan, and the pet sitter she has assigned to me are absolutely the best. During our initial consultation, both she and my sitter came to my home, met the pets and discussed my needs for nearly two hours. They were both very thorough, taking notes throughout the meeting. Susan is very knowledgeable on so many pet care topics that she was finishing my sentences. Given my education, I was sold right there! Many of the sitters have been vet techs; their training makes them more likely to recognize potential health or behavior problems before they escalate.

Animals' stress at the change in routine of their owner being gone is greatly alleviated by remaining in their own home, rather than being moved to a novel atmosphere with unknown smells, sounds, animals, people and schedules. Many pet owners have returned home after having a friend or neighbor take care of their pets, only to wonder if the person came by or spent time with their animals at all. I know how that is and, until I found G and S Pet Services, had experienced nearly every pet sitting horror story, including the indoor-only cats getting outside; animals stuck to my side for the first full week of my return suggesting they hadn't been given any attention; sudden and significant unhealthy weight gain suggesting an over indulgence in treats and /or people food; broken and missing household items; finding spaghetti sauce (etc.) on the ceiling, couch and and quot;cleanand quot; pans; cat pee all over the floor (filthy litter boxes), human prescription medicine spilled on the floor where the dog can get to it or mixed in with the cat meds, and coffee dribbled on the carpet in every room of the house (...and don't get me started on the receipt I found for a book entitled, and quot;Big, Spankable A**es... No, I'm not kidding).

When I return home after my G and S Pet Services sitter has been taking care of my pets, all the animals exhibit behaviors that indicate contentment; all act calm, secure, and confident. There are no indications of separation anxiety or boredom. Everyone is healthy, at the same weight as when I left. She is very loving, affectionate, and professional! And the house is just as I left it. I cannot express how grateful I am to come home after working 12 hrs a day for 40 days in a row without a day off and NOT need to clean up after the pet sitter. It is absolute heaven!

On one occasion prior to my leaving on assignment one of my cats developed a health issue which required him to be taken to the vet 2-3 times a week and receive medications 2-3 times a day. Between my sitter and Susan, the cat made every appointment and received every medication, both of which kept him alive. Their communication, caring, and dedication are so deeply appreciated. The cat is now fully recuperated and back to his sassy old self thanks to them. The transport fee charged to take him to the vet was very reasonable and their observation skills and care were utterly invaluable. They are fully insured as well as approved pet transporters and currently serve Cocoa, Port St. John, south Titusville, and Merritt Island. Top quality care by top quality people. Hire them. Seriously.
