 Thanks
so much
[for the referral credit on our account],
you didn't have to do that. We are happy to pass along the word
about you guys. We truly love your service and are happy to spread
the word. I am so glad we found you. I was telling Patti I was
surprised that your business never came up on my search before now.
We have had a few dog walkers and none have been up to snuff.
Everything
is going great with the boys
(Angus and Guinness, pictured above),
Robin is top notch and we are happy to have her in Patti's absence.
Like you said both ladies are excellent and really take care of our
boys. They are our other children so we are happy that they are
getting great care now. We can really tell the difference now that
they are being walked everyday. The boys are beat when we get home
and they are now tired enough to be able to stay out of their crates
all day.
Thanks again and have a great day!!

 Caren and Patti: We are back!!!!!
I cannot express in words how impressed I have been with your
services. From day one, when I made the initial phone call to you,
Caren, you were right there guiding me through this process,
understanding my concerns, answering all of my questions, responding
to my e-mails, etc.
I love the fact that you require your clients to fill out such
extensive paperwork! It shows your attention to detail and it makes
me, the client, feel secure knowing that EVERY situation is thought
of ahead of time, with security measures in place so that no pet can
ever be forgotten!!!!
Patti, you are the best pet-sitter in the world!!!! (Caren, you
were right that we would do well with Patti!) Not only did you take
the greatest care of Sammy that I could ever hope for, but
you washed the pets' dishes and extra food dishes, took out our
trash, brought in our mail, took care of Daisy and Dolly (and
strays), and scooped the litter boxes!!! And on top of all of that,
the notes and e-mails!!!! I SO LOVED receiving special e-mails telling me about the day with our pets, and how they were all
doing! And then when we got home, there was a journal of every
day!!! And what a fabulous idea to take a picture of Sammy (looking
happy, above) and sending it to us the day before we got home!!! What a
smile you put on our faces!!!!! You went above and beyond.
I have not gone away without Sammy for many years because I know how
attached he is to me (and I to him!) Since I planned this vacation
in February, I have been sort of dreading it, because I couldn't
bear to think about how Sammy would fare. I know that there are
many pet-sitting services out there, but I never thought that I
could trust them in my home and with my animals. Never in a
million, zillion years would I have believed, if you told me a month
ago, that I could actually go on vacation and totally enjoy myself
knowing that my pets were well-cared for and happy!!! But you both
made me feel so good during the week leading up to my departure
date, and I knew in my heart that I could trust you. To me, this
was almost a miracle that this worked out so well.
I thank you both for all of your patience, understanding, and
devotion to making your service a top-notch business. I feel
so lucky that Ms. Urbano* recommended you to me, and that you were
available for my vacation dates. I have enjoyed meeting and
getting to know both of you, and I appreciate all that you did to
make my vacation a wonderful time for me and my family.
I will always refer you to any of my friends/neighbors with pets
and, should I ever need another pet-sitter, you would be the ONLY
one I'd call!!!!

Caren - I love For Pets' Sake and Callie
(right)
loves everyone that comes to walk her, though her FAVORITE is Maria!
I am so happy you were able to set her up on a regular basis with
Callie. Maria also takes great care of our two 16 year old kitties;
making sure they get treats and pets as well when she is done
walking Callie. Callie has rebounded from being the abused/neglected
puppy I brought home from the shelter and I am positive that part of
her healing is because of you, Maria and Nicole.
I knew I had found a great place when I first talked to you and am
always recommending you to my neighbors and friends. Thank you for
all you and your staff do for all of us pet lovers.

"Caren,
and the rest of the team at For Pets' Sake:
Thank
you for all the support you have given to myself and the dogs Nia
(left)
and Issac (Right)
over the last few years.
It was very satisfying that I knew
someone would be there to help with the dogs when I needed it. If
we move back to the area we you will definitely be one of the first
people that I call to setup the dog service again. Thank you."

 "Hey
Caren. Thanks again for coming by yesterday. I'm glad you and Nan
had a fun walk with the little Monkey and were able to drum up some
business while you were there! Our summer has been so busy thus far
and I feel guilty about leaving Molly
(with Caren
at left)
so much.
It has been such a relief knowing that she is
in great hands and we really want to acknowledge the fact that you
have been staying well past her allotted time! Thank you thank you
thank you!
As I told
you it took me a long time to trust a 'company' with Molly,
and I have no idea what made me call you, but whatever it was, I am
super glad I did!"

 "Caren
and her warm and friendly staff take such good care of Baci when we
are away. We never need to worry because Baci is given so much love
and attention. I especially want to thank Patti because she gave
our dog extra TLC. Baci needed medication and meticulous care of
her eyes and long hair. For Pets' Sake provided all the care that
Baci needed and then some. Our dog always looks so fresh and happy
when we get home. For Pets' Sake is a gem.

so much for your patience and support with our crazy

my very high praise to Patty - she is wonderful with the dogs and I
can tell they are very happy with her."

"Caren
- You have provided wonderful pet sitting service to us for our
Golden Retreiver, Zoe for over 10 years. I can also rest
assured that when I go away Zoe is in good hands with For Pets Sake.
A few weeks ago my daughter and her 3 children brought their 8 month
old Lab, Bella to our home. During one of our day trips you walked
Zoe and Bella. Your keen eye noted that Bella's gait was not quite
right when you walked her. Sure enough when she was taken to the vet
she had a problem. Thanks to you, Caren, Bella got the care she
needed and is on the mend. You truly love animals and it shows in
the great care you consistently provide.
Thanks a million!"

My
husband and I have recently relocated to be closer to family, and
while we are excited about the move, we are really going to miss For
Pets' Sake's services. Donnie had taken care of our dog, Red
whenever we were out of town. Red is a big, lovable, chow-mix who
can't get enough walks. Red came from the SPCA and gets too
stressed out when staying in kennels, so we were excited to find a
service that would allow him to stay in our home where he is most
comfortable. Donnie and the other For Pets' Sake sitters have
always gone above and beyond, even spending extra time with Red when
they had the chance. My husband and I enjoyed reading the notes
that were left telling us about Red's adventures when we got home.
We have never had to worry about Red's well being while he was in
For Pets' Sake's care. They even made an emergency stop at our
house when my son was born! We wish For Pets' Sake all the best!

I
recently moved 45 minutes from my hometown, family and most of my
friends and my only concern was my dog Masons’ care. I work in
the city, and on some occasions Mason would have to be home alone
for up to 14 hours. Having a dog with anxiety issues, a kennel
is not an option. After a little searching I found For Pets' Sake
and you have become my rescuer! I can now work long hours or
have a full day of entertainment knowing Mason is home safe and
comfortable and that his caring friend Patti will stop by to feed,
walk, and play with him. This has made Mason and me so happy!
He is calmer when I come home from long days and it is a nice change
for him. I would really be stuck if it wasn’t for the loving
care For Pets' Sake provides Mason, and for that I just want to say
Thank you!

"This
is a "testimonial" letter regarding your pet sitting service.
For eight years (time flies when you are having fun), you faithfully
came to our home to care for our Springer Spaniel, Cocoa, whenever
we needed a dog sitter. At the beginning, Cocoa was a bit of a
challenge since he was a rescue dog. We were amazed at how
well you handled him, and always gave us much needed advice on how
to handle him in certain situations. You let us know if any
problems arose during your time with him.
Whenever
we needed service other than the normal days every week, you were
always available. If you were not available, one of your
competent employees stepped in to help. Never did we have any
reason to mistrust you or any of your employees.
Cocoa
obviously loved you! It showed whenever you came to our home
on other occasions. He put on quite a "welcome show", and
Cocoa wouldn't do this unless he truly liked and trusted you.
Thank you
for such professional, competent, and faithful service for our
Cocoa. We will continue to use your service whenever the
occasion arises. Best Wishes!

"Caren
- Two years ago our dear Murray passed on. We could always count on
you. This past year we chose to adopt two doxies and when both my
husband and I weren't able to make it home on time we naturally
thought of you again. I always feel good when I arrive home knowing
that you were here visiting them. I can always tell that they had a
caring visit when I arrive because they aren't frustrated or over
needy when I come in the door when we great each other. To feel
properly cared for is a good way to live for everyone. You have to
be able to live in the present (like dogs do), but, not everyone is
ready or able to fulfill the task.
Thanks with gratitude"

"Caren
- I know you are aware of how concerned we were about leaving Tess
for her first experience at home with a pet sitter while we were on
vacation. You and Maria have eliminated that concern. Tess was
happy to
have you both wrapped around her paw :) I think she was
disappointed that you stopped visiting when we got home. The updates
that you gave us were very comforting. When we heard how often you
were playing "hide & squeak",
we knew Tess was happy. We owe you another special thanks for dealing with
the snow! Thank you so much. We will not be going back to
using a kennel
for our vacations!"

"I
just wanted to say thank you for stopping over at our house this
past weekend to help my mom out, especially at the last minute like
that. Katy and I felt horrible for my mom as she was struggling with
Harper and we had neglected to show her how to put the gentle lead
on. Anyways, thanks again!!"

- We can never thank you enough for making our time away from home

"Robin
came over and gave me a list of commands she has been using with my
dogs. She also showed me how she was using them. Today I was able to
take the dogs to PetSmart and NOT have my arm nearly ripped off.
They were very well behaved. They would sit when I told them to sit
and stay when I told them to stay. We are still working on the heel,
but they are really close. It was so much fun taking them for a
walk. I really appreciate how wonderful Robin has been with the dogs
and you can see by the picture
(at right)
they think she is pretty wonderful too! I am so glad that we started
to use you folks. The dogs are better behaved and not as restless at
night after we have been gone all day. Thank you for the services
you provide.
Have a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy Happy New Year."

so much for the dog treats and chew treats as well. The boys (Mikey

"Caren, our house is on the market. I got a job [out of State] and
we are in the process of relocating.
We will miss you guys - you have done such
a great job.
It will be
10 years in
February (2010) since we
started using
For Pets' Sake. We think it's great that you've taken the time
to get to know us, and Stephanie (left). We believe Barbara
has formed a bond with her, and can probably even translate what she
means when she's meowing. Barbara treats Stephanie as if she
were her own.
When we return home everything is perfect - our cat has been well
fed and taken care of and she we know she is happy.
We would never even consider using a kennel after having such a
fantastic experience all these years. We will have a tough time finding such a
great
pet sitting service when we move.
THANK YOU for all the love
and care you have shown our cat over the years! Please know
that we
will always be happy to serve as a reference.
And just recently:
"Yay
- I see my little Stephanie on there [in our new Newsletter] !
We were amazed that Barb shoveled. She TOTALLY rocks!

This
is an example of recent communication between For Pets' Sake and
first time client Sukand, who is visiting his family for two weeks
in INDIA.
"Hi Caren - I hope Quito is not giving you a hard time. Is he
eating well? When you have a chance, can you please let me
know?"
"Sukand
- How's India? Quito is eating VERY well indeed. My
parakeet baby is doing fine, and the lil fishy is doing fine as
well. Your plants, however, are NOT fairing as well.
It's getting cold at night. Not sure if they'll make it until
your return. Quito has me chasing him around your apartment when
it's time for me to leave (I've been staying way extra long for
him.) I took some pictures of him holding up one of my business
cards. Very cute photo.
(Caren and Quito
holding a For Pets' Sake business card pictured at right). I cleaned both the cages today.
I'm going to pick up some more fruit and am looking for a home for
Ms. Keet (so far NO luck but I have my feelers out.) Take care and
safe travels. Have a great rest of your vacation.
Thanks for checking in.
I'll be in touch. -
Caren
"Hi Caren - This is great news. Thanks so much for taking
special care of Quito and company. I am so glad that I chose
you! Thanks, Sukand."
"Sukand
- Quito is hanging with me now. He flies over and sits on my
shoulder while I prepare his dinner and supervises me! He is soooo cute. I've been giving him scritches under the chin and
have been trying to teach him to talk. Wish I had someone to
take our picture. He misses you (they all do), but are being
very well cared for. I've been bringing paperwork with me to
work so that I can stay longer and give him lots of quality time out
of his cage. Hope you're enjoying your visit with family.
No worries here.
Talk to you soon, Caren."

"Caren
and her team are flexible and dependable. We know our girl is

"Thank
you SO much for taking care of my Ralphie! He is doing so
well, and I know that has a lot to do with Barbara's care.
She is FANTASTIC! It makes us feel so much better knowing that
we can trust someone with him during the day. Thank you
again."

"Caren,
thank you for your help last week. I was really glad to see
that you thought Jackson is doing so well. He really is a
great puppy, and we love him a lot. I'm sure part of why he is
doing so well is because of you and Maria. Thanks again."

"Very
happy with your service, and very happy to have your crew come back
again. Donnie answered the few text messages I sent him right
away, and even called me to give me some verbal reassurance one
time. The cats must have appreciated his care. Look
forward to using your service again in a few weeks. Thanks
again."

wanted to send an email thanking you for sending Stephanie over to

again."

you again for taking care of Baxter over the holiday weekend -

"Caren,
here is our
testimonial (which seems so blah
compared to how I really feel about you guys)!!
For Pets' Sake has provided stellar care for our "household zoo" for
approximately 6 years. Our furry family tree is comprised of 4
cats, 3 dogs, bunnies
(including new babies), birds, and fish - so a visit at our house is
never quick! With so many pets, there are always special
instructions, such as keeping our two dogs separate at all times and
providing injections for our late diabetic cat, Spock. For Pets'
Sake has always carried out each instruction
perfectly, which
supplies us with [tremendous] peace of mind when we are away. I'm
confident in the care they provide for our family, and I am amazed
at their reliability and pride in their care for animals. Thank you
for all that you do for
our family! Words cannot express how truly
satisfied we have always been with your service."

"I
recently got a Yorkie puppy at the end of April named Daisy. I am a
single professional who works 40+ hours a week. When I got Daisy she
was 4 months old and I thought I could house train her myself, which
I tried to do unsuccessfully for about 2-1/2 weeks on my own. All of
my friends were telling me to try this or try that and I quickly
started to realize I was
trying too many things all at once and confusing me and poor
Daisy.
Someone told me about For Pets' Sake and how they will help
train your dog by coming to your house midday for a potty break and
walk. I was a little skeptical at first about leaving my house
key with a stranger, but I was frustrated and confused about what to
do with Daisy so I decided to give For Pets' Sake a try.
When I called, they [Caren and Lisa] were very friendly and [Caren]
gave me some great advice during the very first call. I
scheduled an appointment to meet Daisy's walker, Barb within a
couple of days . Daisy took a liking to Barb right away; she was
warm, kind, and loving to Daisy, which eased my mind about this
whole experience. Soon thereafter I [made arrangements with
the For Pets' Sake Office to] schedule daily visits with Barb
to let Daisy out for a potty break and a nice walk. Within a few
days I could tell Daisy was much less anxious about me leaving her
home all day and within a few short weeks I could tell Daisy was
learning not to potty in the house (although still had one or two
accidents here or there mainly because I was not paying attention to
her warning signs! ).
It's been 3 months now and Daisy is doing so well with Barb.
My neighbors
tell me they occasionally see Barb walking Daisy around the
neighborhood
and how much fun she and Daisy are having on their walks together.
They
tell me how patient Barb is with Daisy and how they sometimes stop
and
play for a bit on their walks.
Barb leaves progress reports for me each day so I know how Daisy is
doing during her visits and gives me some helpful advice when Daisy
is struggling with some issues...For instance, Daisy likes to bark
her head off when she sees people outside, so Barb and I coordinate
which commands we will use to teach her not to bark. This way
we can be consistent with Daisy.
Overall my experience has been great and I would recommend For
Pets' Sake to anyone who has a dog and feels guilty
about leaving them home alone."

"Having
been a Vet Tech, and doing a little pet-sitting since I worked at
the vet, I am very picky as to what I want for MY pets and the kind
of care that I want provided for them. For Pets' Sake and
Donnie have gone well over those expectations. For Pets' Sake
and Donnie have been more than I ever expected that you would be.
He takes such great care of the kids and the fact that he stayed
with Phoebe during a thunderstorm just makes me want to cry that he
is compassionate enough to take the time to do such a thing.
When we get home we can tell the kids are well taken care of!
It's peace of mind for us to know we are leaving them in such great
hands. Donnie leaves such nice notes! He is really a
sweet guy, and he has such nice things to say about our dogs!
It's so wonderful to know that our dogs love him so much! "

"For
Pets' Sake has provided exceptional, dependable, and loving care for
my lab puppy, Annie, since I brought her home eight months ago. During
that time she has had 10 visits each week and has received care

well adjusted due to the exercise and loving care that she receives
from For Pets' Sake during each visit!"

"Caren,
I met Donnie tonight an he is very nice and obviously loves animals.
He did get a quick peak at Sienna when she was at the window, but
then she hid in the dinning room. She can be a bit shy, but
hopefully she will warm up to him after a day or so. I saw
that one of your referrals is Dr. Allum at Creature Comforts.
She is Sienna's vet, so I was glad to see her name on there. I
am very happy to have found you, and really appreciate you fitting
me in."

"
I've been meaning to fire off an email to Caren to thank her for her
TLC in our absence. The girls [four cats] were all right at
the front door waiting when we got home. The remarkable thing
is that even though we had company stay with us after we got back
from the beach, the girls stayed present and didn't retreat to the
basement as they had done with the same company prior to our us
leaving."

"Hi
Caren, I don't know if you remember me from the 1990's, but you
watched my cat Andy occasionally in Phoenixville on the weekends.
I moved out of your service area, but now I am back. Andy is
now 16 and requires a sitter on the weekends due to some health
developments. Besides my best friend, you are the only person
I would trust to come into my home and take care of my baby.
Looking forward to working with you again!"

(et al), I just wanted to take a moment (which I should have done
sooner) to thank you for all your kindness. I really

I always know he's

February

Mr. Two Socks is now in the big mice field in the sky, catching lots
of mice while being watched over by his mom. We've been caring for
Mr. Socks for so long, I feel like a part of me is gone too.
He lived a VERY wonderfully
fulfilling and HAPPY life thanks to you and Suzanne.
I'm sure
she's glad to have him back with her. Please know that our thoughts
are with you, and that will all miss
Mr. Two Socks.
Especially Donnie and Caren. Sniff.

"Ibitha
was so well adjusted when we came back from Mississippi. She
usually bites my ankles the first evening we get back, and for the
first time in a long time, she didn't do that. She also let me
hold her without trying to get out of my arms for the first time in
months, which was wonderful! Thank you for the time you spent
with her. She really seemed to enjoy it!".

"Please
let Donnie know that Sara had a great week with his visits. I
read his notes as soon as I stepped in the door and was VERY
impressed that Sara allowed him to give her a belly rub. That
is something that she reserves for people that she trusts 110%, so
she must have really enjoyed Donnie's company. I think she
misses him!
Please feel free to add me to your reference list. I would be
happy to give you a referral if you have new clients that want to
check references. Everything was taken care of to a "T" and
most importantly, Donnie was able to bond with Sara and make sure
she also had a great vacation week. If you can't take your pet
on vacation with you, the service that you provide is the next best
thing."

you SO much for taking good care of Max. Glad he was a good
boy for you. And I really appreciate the detailed notes.
You know that I've been extra worried about him lately, but no

potty break you provide."

"First
of all, I want to thank you and Nicole for the wonderful treatment
of Riley (our Labradooble). We came home, and he was nice and
excited. Within 10 minutes, he was treating us like it was any
other day. It was great! We knew that he was not phased
at all about the past few days, and rather enjoyed himself.
Plus, the pages of notes made me giggle as I read about his
adventures. I even saved them. From the bottom of our
hearts, Thank You!"

For Pets’ Sake for the exceptional care during our last vacation.
As we had discussed, it was for an extended period of time and it
was over the Christmas holidays. The For Pets’ Sake team took care
of our home and our cat, Butterscotch
(with Caren at right),
while we were gone and you were good enough to take care of our
Golden Retriever puppy, Apollo, at your own home while we were gone.
Knowing that Apollo would be with someone all
day and night made it much easier to be away.
I
must admit, it is difficult to leave ones pets for even one night, never mind, three weeks! I knew from
past experience that they would be in good hands but that was proven
to me when we returned home. Apollo
(at left with Caren) was as happy as could be when
we got home. Butterscotch usually “punishes” us by stalking
upstairs and sulking for a day or two when we leave her, but even
she was happy! As expected, everything at home was taken care of.
One could not ask for better or more reliable service than that
which is provided by For Pets’ Sake. I extend a very sincere thank
you to you and your exceptional staff.

"I
want to thank you so much for all you do for K.C. and Riley (and for
our peace of mind) while we're away! Jim and I just finished
reading the notes from you and Donnie. We love to read about each
visit and appreciate knowing about their days and habits and even
the weather when we're not home. I also love that you sometimes
bring paperwork and just hang out with them -- that means a lot to them
and us!
Thanks, too for bringing Riley's food preference to our attention.
We just started trying the new wet/dry combo routine a few weeks
before we left and I didn't pick up on that he left more when I used
the chicken liver flavor. You are absolutely right! Yesterday, we
picked up some more turkey and rice and also beef and chicken, which
he seems to like. He would still prefer to have only dry food, but I
think the mixture satisfies them longer and keeps their weight
a little more reasonable.
Lastly, thanks for calling Sunday morning to make sure we were home.
From now on, I'll be sure to email the day/night we return so you
won't have to call (although it is always nice to hear from you).
Again, many thanks for taking such special care of everything."

 NEW
from Linda and Jim H.:
"Hi Caren! We
got home safely yesterday! Thanks for taking such good care of
Lila - she was very happy to see us and has not stopped purring and
talking and following me around!!! I haven't told Lila we're
leaving again, but you should have us on the books...nor have I told
her about another trip we have coming up in October, but you should
put that on the books as well. Again, THANKS for taking such
good care of everything, Lila, the house, the plants...EVERTYHING!"

"We
have been using For Pet’s Sake for quite some time now. Caren and
her sitters and co-workers have all been a godsend to us as they are truly
devoted to the care and well being of our animals. They are
dependable and take the time to make sure the animals are
comfortable and safe in our absence. We have also come to rely on
them to make sure the house is secure and that the plants both inside and
out are watered properly. We have developed a true friendship over
the years and are very grateful for all the services they offer.
I
would highly recommend For Pet’s Sake."

Hi Caren,
"I just wanted
to let everyone know that Noonan passed away last month. He
lived 16 wonderful, healthy, years and filled my life with great
happiness, companionship and joy. I couldn't have
asked for a better dog.
I'd like to
thank everyone at For Pets' Sake for all you did for Noonan
and me. It was always comforting to know that he was in great hands
whenever I was away -- the
entire staff was professional, supportive, caring (and
flexible), spending extra time with him and going above and beyond your "jobs". Noonan loved it when you were here with him.
Thanks Caren.
Keep up the good work.
You guys definitely make a big, positive difference in peoples
lives."
Thanks again,
Steve P.

Steve,
"I am so VERY sorry
to hear about Noonan's passing. He certainly was a huge part of all
of our lives these
past 12+ years. I am deeply sorry for your
loss. I will pass this sad news on to the team here. Thank you for
your "business" over all these years. We will miss Noonan
tremendously. You gave him a wonderful life and
I know he
loved you & Karen SOOO much.
Thank You for
letting us know. With loving thoughts and prayers."

"What an awesome
service! For Pets' Sake has been caring for our two Dogs and Cat
for over 1.5 years. They have been totally responsive to our needs
as my husband does a lot of travel and I am in the Medical
Profession and am often on call. We are so fortunate to have found
them. The pets are always happy and a lot calmer upon our return
home. It is more than apparent that they are well loved and cared
for and the house is always tidy. I would recommend For Pets' Sake
to anyone who's life is never at a standstill. No matter when we
call they are always there for us even for last minute emergencies.
We trust everyone in your company - all your sitters have always
gone above and beyond what ever we asked. The peace and comfort they
have provided us is truly a Godsend and we have referred several
friends their way. A huge Thank You to them from the bottom of our
hearts and from all our babies. "

"Just a quick
note to let you know that I've returned from my trip. I just read
over Susan's notes, and I can't relay to you how comforting it is to
know that the boys were SO well taken care of! It sounds like all
three of them had a great time, and I think the dogs are secretly
plotting how they can get me to go on another trip! Thanks so much
again."

"We have used
Caren's service, For Pets' Sake, for almost six years, and have been
delighted and reassured that our two dogs
are getting the best of care while we are at work five days a week.
We have never once had a service "blooper" or "no-show" or any of
the other crises that pet-owners worry about. Our boys have loved
every sitter that was assigned to them, although it's not as if the
sitters are constantly changing. Caren's sitters must be very happy
with their employment....the sitters we've had, including
Caren....have been gems. The service charges are very competitive,
the service itself is high quality and fully reliable, and the
sitters are well-rounded, animal-loving people. If we could afford
to take Caren and crew to Bermuda when we move there in May 2008, we
would do it. We're going to miss them - and so are the boys!"

"Your help means so much to us...if we couldn't count on you, our
lives would be very different. Thank you for all your kindness to
Whitey and your patient consideration of our sometimes unexpected
requests for your time. You are a special person to all of us."

"We
cannot think of taking a trip if you are not on duty taking care of
our cats. If you ever want to refer a new client to us for
reference, we would be pleased to tell them firsthand of the
excellent care we have gotten from you and your coworkers."

"For the past
five years I have been fortunate to have the staff of
For Pets' Sake
help with the care of Chloe, my Bichon Frise. The service they
provide is far more than being “dog walkers”. While exercise is
certainly a part of the service provided, Caren and her staff
lovingly care for the pets under their charge. They spend time with
each pet - playing, sitting, petting - as well meeting their
physical needs for exercise, water and food. By looking at the way
Chloe reacts to the staff of For Pets Sake I have no question about
the level of love and care they provide for her. It is comforting
to know that she is receiving loving attention even when I am not
home."

Newsletter. Congratulations on your 15 years of successful
business! Ed and I don't have our new dog yet, but we'll be in
touch when we find our new baby. Best Regards."

"Thank you for the terrific service you have provided to us for the
past two years. We tend to pamper our cats, and it was so nice to
know we were leaving them with someone who understood how attached
we are to both of them. You didn't even blink when we mentioned
that they like to be brushed each day and that they have to eat in
separate rooms since one has a bladder problem - yikes! - that would
have sent an ordinary pet sitter running! You cleaned their box
every day, and spent time playing with them. You spoiled them even
more than we do! In addition, you brought in our mail each day and
even watered our plants, going so far as to leave instructions for
how to care for the plant on which you found spider mites! That is
above the call!
I just needed to thank you for a job well done and to let you know
how much your service was valued. You made the experience even
more pleasant.

"Thanks very
much for the extra visits with Snowy and Sneakers. Your extra efforts on short
notice are much appreciated. Sorry, also, for having to page you in
the middle of the night, but it was unavoidable. Thank you for
being so accommodating."

"My wife and I, owners of two cats, have used For Pets' Sake for
over two years. We travel frequently, and as a result, have need of
a pet sitting service for both a few days or longer periods of
time. Caren's service is 100% reliable. She is very
professional in taking care of animals, regular and prompt with
feedings, and most of all, very loving to our pets. I highly
recommend For Pets' Sake as a way to have your pets taken care of in
their own environment with complete confidence that your home is
secure."

"This letter is an attempt to recognize the outstanding service that
For Pets' Sake has provided to our family for several years now.
When we first started to use your service in the mid 1990's, we had
two dogs, Opie and Annebell. It was such relief to find a service
that was so dependable and convenient and that allowed our beloved
doggies to enjoy "our" vacation in the comfort of their own home.
The pet sitters took wonderful care of our pets AND our home."

"Words cannot express how happy we have been with your service over
the last few months. We have seen such a difference in Bella's
attitude
that could only have come from spending time with someone
whom she really enjoys being with!"

"Thanks for
everything. I have really enjoyed working with you and hope
our
paths cross again. I really liked Susan, and appreciate your
finding
her for us. Please feel free to use me as a reference any
time!"

"We would like to thank you and your employees for such professional
and loving care of our 2 dogs, Ciapa and Chaica. We have been using
your services for a long time now and we know we can trust you with
everything as we would trust our best friend. You did prove
yourself with giving our dogs lots of love as well as taking care of
their medical needs. We thank you for taking care of our plants
too!"
Ivana A.

"You have always been incredibly responsive to our needs, whether it
be making sure my elderly dog, Stephanie, received her daily
medicine or coming to my rescue when I had to leave unexpectedly due
to a family emergency."
