Highly Rated
Our clients love us. But more importantly, we love our clients and the pets we care for. Our love of pets is genuine and it shows.
To say the service is outstanding is an understatement. When we returned from our trip, it was obvious by their calm demeanor that we made the best choice. The care was so exceptional that I was worried the pets would be bummed with our return.
The best pet sitter you’ll ever find! The peace of mind our furry family was being well taken care of while was the best gift we could have asked for! Prompt to answer any questions and kind to the babies! They adore him and are always happy when we get home!
What can I say? Best decision I ever made was to call Away Home & Pet Care. Robert treated my dogs like royalty and they loved him so much! He always came when he was scheduled. If you’re on the fence about whether or not to give them a call, don’t hesitate.
