Brandy was prompt in arriving for the Meet and Greet and really made us feel like our "furbabies" would be well cared for while we were gone. We were very confident that she was well qualified to care for them and could easily handle any emergencies that she might encounter.
I would definitely recommend Slem's and plan to use them again in the future.
I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that someone would be lovingly caring for my cat, and I came home to a clean house and litter box, plus a happy cat. Can't ask for more than that! I will definitely remember Slem's the next time I need someone to watch my cat, and I would highly recommend them to anyone!
- Close to leaving they came to the house and did a meet and greet which allowed us to see who they were and for them to understand the details of the house and the personalities of our dogs & cat.
The folder included check lists for things that we may have not have thought of such as "did you lock your fence gates?"
They have a customer privacy policy such that if someone comes to the door while you are away - they do not disclose that you are away or where you are.
They impressed upon us during our meeting that they do not do this for extra spending money - they do this as a profession and take that responsibility seriously. We found this to be entirely true.
They arrived on time - they texted us that they arrived and provided updates to us periodically. Our pets were never left alone for any longer than 4 hours during the day.
On the last day, they texted their departure time and asked us to text them if our arrival home time was to change and that they would return and cover any additional tasks required so - animals would get fed and let out.
We could go on - but here are the most important reasons we will use Slems again.
- They left no foot print in the house - other than the bed stripped, we would not have known someone had stayed in our home
- The house was, as we left it - previous sitters allowed animals to pee and poo ( we kid you not )
- The animals were entirely NORMAL and not traumatized upon our return. It was clear they had plenty of company and stimulation.
As soon as we got off of the plane and switched our phones on, there was a text message from Michelle saying that she had arrived and that the dogs were fine. She included pictures she had taken of each of them. Every 2 or 3 days we received similar text messages or emails from her with information about how it was going, and she sometimes included pictures. The pictures assured us that the dogs were calm and handling our absence just fine. I would have been so worried about them being upset at a kennel (wondering if we had abandoned them), but instead, the dogs were in their own home, following their usual routine, and getting lots of petting and love, with the older dog getting her daily medication on time. We did not worry about the dogs at all, knowing that they were in good hands. My husband and I were able to relax and just enjoy our time away.
Michelle stayed with the dogs as much as possible throughout the day and sometimes even worked from our house. She slept at our house at night and positioned the dogs' beds near her. Donna also stopped in, as she had made it clear to us that there would always be a back-up person involved. When we arrived home, we found a detailed chart of the arrival and departure times for both of the women. These women are so wonderful and so professional, we could not have asked for a better experience. We are so glad we found Slem's Pet Care, and we will be using them again in the future!
"And we can't begin to tell you how much of a joy your babies were to care for!!! Always on their best behavior and always there to greet us with smiles and wagging tails!! We enjoyed them so much! Thank you for the review and thanks again for contacting us to care for them!!"
