Excellent company! Had never used a pet sitting service before and will definitely use them again! Responsive, flexible, professional and Cassie went beyond the call of duty with having to take care of some problems that occurred while we were away! Would definitely recommend!! Also, if you compare the costs of boarding your pet with their service, it really was comparable - and the pet is not stuck in a cage or small area, being at home instead, in its familiar environment. They were excellent and very professional!

We have been very happy with Animal's Kingdom to date, and with our individual pet sitter. Not cheap, but worth the cost, which is always spelled out in advance. Company owner seems well on top of things and very responsive. A well organized operation. Our aging beagle always seems just fine when we get back. The daily photos are nice, too.

The pet sitter was outstanding and very professional. Our dog really liked her. Everything was taken care of as requested including cleaning out the dog's eyes and giving her eye meds. She left a small bag of pet treats for us to give our dog after she left which was very nice of her. They have been here numerous times now and I really appreciate that we can trust The Animal's Kingdom to take care of our dog when we have to be gone for an extended period of time. Cost: $27 per visit. Having the nails trimmed at home, as always, has gone exceptionally well for a 13 year old dog who has difficulty having things done anyplace but at her own home. This has been a good alternative to taking her to the vet and Jennifer and Andy do a great job and she likes them. Jennifer cut the nails and Andy held her still. Cost: $56 which includes two people, one to cut the nails and one to hold the dog.

I usually board my dogs and pig but I would prefer to leave them home when we go away. The Animal's Kingdom had such great references I decided to give them a try. It was a great experience for us and the animals. The animal care attendant stayed at our home for seven nights and sent us text messages with pictures every evening. The dogs, cats and pig loved her and I was so relieved that they could stay home and not have the stress of a boarding kennel. I have hired again for our summer vacation in July for 8 overnights and 7 day visit. You don't have to worry about your pets. The owner, Jennifer, is on top of everything and is very organized, caring and professional. Also, it is a fair price for what they offer.

Great! Needed to medicate dog’s eyes & did an excellent job. On time. Very responsive. Have also used for pedicures which they do well. My German Shepherd responds very positively to their care and likes them.

It went very well. They got along with the cats and even managed to give one of the cats her pills.

Excellent! The pet sitter met with us ahead of time to review the dog's needs. I completed their information form with specifics re: feeding schedule, shots, vets, & emergency numbers which greatly relieved my anxiety at having to leave her. The owners were good at communicating by telephone & email. Everything went well & I would definitely ask them to tale care of her again. One thing I especially liked is their requirement to call them on my return in case I would be late returning.

I have 4 cats (3 seniors and 1 youngster), and 2 of the seniors have health issues and need daily medicating twice a day. I ran into a very uncomfortable glitch with a pet sitter I originally hired to care for my cats for the 5 days I'd be away, who turned out not to be as professional or responsive as I expect. So I needed another pet sitter 48 hours before I was leaving for my trip outside the country. Thank God for Jennifer, who was just fabulous! She got the information she needed from me, and within an hour or so, after a few phone calls, had me hooked up with their pet sitter, Kaylee. Kaylee came the next day, the day before I was leaving, and did a thorough going over of everything on the business and cat care ends of things, and met my cats. She is a sweetheart of a gal and clearly loves animals. I felt absolutely comfortable leaving my cats in her care. During my time away, Kaylee emailed daily reports of how the cats were doing, with photos. It came through how much she enjoyed engaging with them, even the one who hides in the closet. In addition, she left a sheet on my counter to remind me when I arrived home to call to let them know I was home, so they would know whether or not I had returned on time and whether or not the cats needed additional visits due to a delayed or cancelled flight. A total of 11 visits over 5 days, with an Angie's List coupon, ran me $415.15 and was well worth it. The Animals Kingdom is exceedingly professional and responsible, and they gave me the peace of mind I needed to feel comfortable leaving my cat children in someone else's care while I was traveling. I cannot recommend them enough.
Response from The Animal's Kingdom
"Thank you for your kind words. We all love what we do and I know Kaylee really enjoys your babies."

We are thrilled to have discovered The Animal's Kingdom on Angie's List. We have a pup who doesn't play well with others, but he has quickly warmed up to his sitters from The Animal's Kingdom. It makes us feel so much more comfortable and less guilty when traveling.

"Thank you for your kind words, I know Killer and Allie can be picky, LOL. We look forward to visiting again soon."

Recently we needed to locate a pet sitter for our 5-year-old male Maine ****. Like everyone that is a pet owner, we wanted to be sure that our furry family member was well cared for while we were away. Being new to the area, we really didn’t know who was reputable, reliable, and affordable. After doing some research we decided to use Animal’s Kingdom. From the initial phone call, to the in-person interview, to the visits and periodic updates while we were away, it is clear to us that we could not have made a better choice. They not only care for your pet, they are respectful and appreciative of you as a client. Chelsea was great with Noah! We expect to use them every time we need pet sitting service in the future and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing pet sitting services. Great job!
Response from The Animal's Kingdom
"Thank you for your kind words and opportunity to care for your fur baby. Hopefully you have been just as happy with Tiffany. We look forward to visiting Noah again soon."

They really are great to work with. Over the years I've had Jennifer and Andy (owners) to the house and most recently, sitters Chelsea and Cindy have done my visits. They have all been wonderful and I really do feel at ease knowing they are caring for my dogs. You can tell they are all animal lovers themselves. Once you have used them (and they have your key) it's very simple to schedule visits when you need them. I recommend them highly.
Response from The Animal's Kingdom
"Thank you for your kind words. We also appreciate your loyalty to our service. It was Oct 2002 when you first started with us. Seen your babies grow from puppy hood to old age. We've loved and lost your pets together. We truly appreciate that you've allowed us to be a part of your family for so long. It is a true blessing of this job."

Booking through Jennifer was quick and efficient. We scheduled a pre-meet with our sitter Andy; he took down all the details and got introduced to our cat. He was particularly interested in how to interact with her; what made her happy and comfortable. We paid for the service that includes extra play time and Facebook photos. It was great to see the pictures of how happy and relaxed our cat looked; it makes the vacation go that much better when you don't have to worry. Our cat looked so happy we were afraid she was going to move in with Andy before we got home ;-) <br> <br>We will definitely be using Jennifer and Andy again! <br>
Response from The Animal's Kingdom
"Thank you [Removed members name] for your kind words. I thought Andy was going to take her home. He said she is one of the sweetest kitties he's ever cared for. We look forward to sitting again."

They have been great the several times we have used The Animal's Kingdom in the past year -- we were out of town for ten days, and we knew the finches were in good hands.

We LOVE Jennifer and Andy. They have an amazing team and are always very thorough and caring. Our cat and dog absolutely adore them (and our cat doesn't like many humans!). <br /> Thanks for everything Jennifer and Andy!! <br /> <br />

It was perfect. Jennifer and Andy, founders and owners of The Animal's Kingdom, made sure everything went like clockwork. Flaggy's sitter, Chelsea, was just wonderful. She visited before we left to meet Flagstaff and learn about his routine. And she left us a charming, detailed note on how everything went. We felt completely confident about leaving our home and 15-year-old cat in her care. <br />

Even my little, crazy cat, who spends his life under my bed, comes out for Andy and let's Andy brush him. My last cat sitter never saw the crazy cat in the two years I used her. <br />

We FINALLY have a pet sitter who took time to befriend our Chihuahua. We ave already scheduled them for future trips. They have a Facebook page that they use to post pictures of your pet. My husband and I looked forward to seeing pics of our pups. <br />
Response from The Animal's Kingdom
"Thank you for your kind review. I know Chelsea has made great efforts to befriend Killer. It appears they have now become best buds. Both pups are sweet and we look forward to continued care for them."

We love them, They are reliable and do an excellent job. When we are leaving town, a phone call to let them know, and everything just works. They leave a status report note for when we return. I can travel now with no worries. <br />

I'm pretty picky when it comes to care for our and quot;kidsand quot; when we are out of town. We've used The Animal's Kingdom for a few years, and love it! We feel totally confident that the cats are fed and played with when we are gone. They come once or twice a day (your choice), and stay 30, 45 or 60 minutes (again your choice). Besides feeding and playing with the cats, they clean the litter, pick up the newspaper and mail, and whatever other 'house sitting' chores are needed. Our current sitter (they are assigned by location in the valley) is Bobbi and she is WONDERFUL! We joke and laugh that when we come home, the cats are disappointed because she won't be playing with them! <br /> We are totally confident in this firm, and plan to use them for all our travel needs. <br />

Everything was amazing! They truly love animals and I can enjoy time away so much more knowing they are taking care of our pets. They also groomed our Persian and did an amazing job! Our vet has trouble grooming him but not the Animals Kingdom. Our pets love them!
