Reigning Cats & Dogs has been our go-to pet sitter for years. I have never had one single issue with the folks they send to care for my 2 kitties and 1 dog. They are very attentive to their needs and make sure all the instructions are followed to a "T". They can come to meet your and your furbabes before their engagement if you'd like. You can show them the routine, etc. The service(s) they have provided us are visiting our home 2X per day to feed and care of our pets. I tried another service where my dog stayed at the sitters home but was not impressed. I won't change again. Highly recommend!

Excellent. Barbara cared for our two dogs and a cat for 10 days over the holidays. One of our dogs is 17 years old and requires special care and meds. She was wonderful with him keeping him healthy while we were away? She sent pictures after each visit and we texted often while she was taking care of our fur babies We have used RCD for many years. They are the best!

These services have greatly exceeded all expectations and have made it possible to travel without anxiety about our pet, our mail, our packages, etc. one time a few months ago my husband had to be admitted to the hospital for a few days. I was even able to urgently schedule this care and remove those anxieties in the middle of a difficult situation. Wonderful!!

My experience was less than ideal. I have two dogs. A crazy little chihuahua and a super sweet but large pit bull. We had a couple of dog walkers who said they couldn't handle the pitbull because she was so large. Which I thought was odd until I saw how they held the leash between their thumb and index finger while holding their cell phone. No wonder they thought she was hard to control. They didn't control the dog. Which makes me wonder how much training the walkers had. Because of that, we had one regular walker. However, when she was sick, or on vacation, or had a medical emergency, that didn't leave us with coverage. The point of an agency is to have coverage. Earlier in the week, I get a call when the walker was supposed to show up indicating she felt "horrible," was at the hospital, and getting a covid test. I figured when she got the test results, she would return if negative. My wife ran into the walker earlier today. The walker said she still felt horrible, but the office made her come. I called the office, amazed they would send a potentially COVID positive person to the house, and eventually spoke to the office manager. I told her what happen and questioned why they would still send someone to the house. The manager shared there were some inconsistencies in the dog walker's story and then abruptly stated she was going to fire the dog walker, that she just made up her mind, and we no longer had a walker until they found another one for my area. I was blown away they would make this call while on the phone with a customer, not have a plan for us, not investigate things further with the walker, and told us to take a hike basically. This was some of the most unprofessional behavior I have ever seen. You don't treat your customers this way, and you don't treat employees that way.

"I regret that your experience with our company was not to your satisfaction, and that our four Dog Walkers failed to meet your expectations. For 31 years we have endeavored to provide pet service excellence to Atlanta clients, a mark we usually do not miss, and I am terribly sorry we failed. I clearly understand [Member Information Removed] failure. I sincerely wish you good fortune seeking a company to service your needs. Chrisanne Ives - Owner"

Reigning Cats and Dogs has been an amazing company and just what my dog and I need. The staff are kind and clearly love the dog. They are excellent communicators and focused on service and on what the dog needs above all else, but I also enjoy chatting with them during their reports to me after each visit. I trust them completely and am quite happy I found this company. FYI: another dog sitting service owner whom I trust recommended that I go with a company that has employees (not contractors) and that is bonded and insured: these checks are how I found RCD and have proven amazing advice. I recommend this company without hesitation. Scheduling is so easy through the app, and they send photos of your baby from the visit.

"Thank you so much for your kind words and support. I know that Jennifer and Dar both love your dog. They return after their visits and just rave about Colbie Lucille Marie! She is quite adorable and the office staff enjoy seeing the pictures that your famous sitters have taken during their visit. Thanks again, Chrisanne"

My first time hiring a pet sitter, and I am very pleased! Jennifer was assigned a week's worth of alternating visits to stop by, check in on my cats, feed them and clean their litter boxes. She was compliant with the app which notified me of the exact duration of each visit, she provided photos of the cats, food and clean litter boxes, AND she left thoughtful messages recapping her visit. I normally only travel for a weekend, but with Jennifer I feel comfortable leaving my pets for a week with no worries!
Response from Reigning Cats & Dogs Inc
"Your review is very much appreciated. Margo and Rita are quite adorable and well loved. Jennifer has taken such great pictures of your two kitties and truly enjoys her time with them. I am also thrilled that you appreciate the app and enjoy our daily diary and pictures taken at each visit. Thank you again, Chrisanne"

I got a rescue dog that had been given up 4 times. My dog had behavioral problems but Jennifer C took her on knowing she was going to be a challenge. Because of Jennifer’s love and patience a year later I have a different dog. Nyx and I are forever grateful! We love reigning cats and dogs!

"[Member Name Removed], I wanted to express to you how much we love Nyx. He is one beautiful dog and the girls just love taking care of him. Thank you, Chrisanne Ives - Owner"

It was great! My pet sitter met with me prior to my trip to learn about my pets and the logistics involved in their care. She texted pictures everyday she checked on my cats so I could see they were doing well. She was courteous, professional, and affordable. Highly recommend!

I needed to have a second cat sitter for evening visits as one of my cats became diabetic and needed insulin twice a day. This company is awesome! Their sitters administer insulin with no problems, arrive at the time of evening needed, send me pics and updates on every visit, and text me if there are any issues or questions. This disease has been **** ** our cat, but I know she is in awesome hands when we are traveling. I would recommend this company to anyone who needs another top notch pet sitting service.

Reigning Cats & Dogs is amazing! We have been using them for years and they are so convenient, and their services perfect! Darnisha has been our primary sitter for our cat and I love that she sends pictures of our cat Oreo while we are away to keep up with how she's doing. Darnisha and all the staff at Reigning Cats & Dogs are so caring of your pets!

We've used Reigning Cats and Dogs many times for in-home dog sitting. With three dogs, we found this is cheaper than a kennel and the dogs like it SO much better. We also appreciate that their sitters are employees who have been background checked and bonded. Each sitter who has stayed with our boys has been mature, professional, and great with our dogs.

When I moved to Georgia from California I was concerned that I wouldn't find anyone to take care of my cats when we travel. My husband and I are ecstatic over Reigning Cats and Dogs. We have peace of mind with the care and attention Leilah and Alex receive, as well as, the updates and pictures we receive from the visits. I highly recommend!!

RCD is the best! All of the sitters we have used, including Corinne, Darneshia & Stephanie, have provided excellent care for our pets while we were away. I highly recommend them.

Reigning Cats and Dogs does a wonderful job for our pets. We tried another sitting service first, but one of our pets consistently hid from the sitter even after several months. All three greet Kim and her backup Jennifer whenever they come to care for our cats. We get an email and sometimes photos after every visit to let us know how our cats are doing, so we're aware of any issues.
Response from Reigning Cats & Dogs Inc
"This review is from a very long time client which makes this review even more special. Thank you! We will share your comments with both Kim and Jennifer. We hope that you continue using our service and please know how much we appreciate you and your business. Cordially, Chrisanne Ives"

This service is awesome ! I have used other pet sitting services and Reigning Cats and Dogs puts those other services to shame. The entire process from signing up to them locating a service is top notch. Jennifer, the sitter that worked with us, was way beyond my expectations. She was prompt for our first meeting, attentive to the needs of our animals and took the time to send us pictures of the cats every day. I would definitely use this service again and would highly recommend it to anyone who asks.
