The Zen Pet is outstanding in all respects! Denise, operates this business in an exemplary fashion, clearly ‘handpicking’, her incredible and caring staff and delivering to customers like myself and our pets, loving care, as if they were her/their own. Not only are each of her staff members, wonderful people, but they are pet lovers too, (very skilled/caring) and they ‘go the extra mile’, for our pets – without even being asked. My dogs loved/love them! On top of all of this, Denise monitors the ongoing care, and she is available instantly – to meet any request, or unexpected need – (which she did for me/us, on multiple occasions), and always with the utmost care, superbly and with a ‘can do’ spirit.
I admire Denise for having established this wonderful business and ‘pouring her heart into making it’ -(The Zen Pet ) – the great service that it is. I highly recommend that you use Zenpet for all your pet caring needs.
I have used Zen Pet sitting for years- I am very picky about who watches my dogs and cats and I have been VERY happy with Zen Pet sitting. I usually have Marilyn watch my animals and she is wonderful- she clearly loves by dogs and cats- they love seeing her and are all very happy and well cared for when I come home. Recently, Marilyn wasn’t able to watch the animals so Tanner watched them for a night. He was also fabulous- very attentive to detail and kept me updated on how everyone is doing. Highly recommend Zen Pet!
Last weekend Stephanie Ropp took excellent care of my cat, Calliope. She spoiled her and treated her to all the care and attention I wanted Calliope to receive while I was away. She sent me updates and pictures displaying all the fun they had. Stephanie also adjusted her schedule around my departure and arrival times, which I greatly appreciated. I can’t wait to have Stephanie sit for Calliope again because I trust her and she made me feel comfortable and secure about Calliope’s care.
