I loooove zen pet! I booked with them pretty last minute and they were quick to see if they had someone who could come do a home visit with my dogs while I was out of town for the day. Denise was in touch with me the entire time she was looking for a sitter, keeping me updated. She then found me Kelly, who came to meet my dogs and she was taking notes of anything I was asking her to do for my dogs and she was making sure she she had everything right. My dogs loved her right away! The day I was out of town I got a notification on the zen pet website and a text message with pictures of my girls. They looked so happy. I’ll definitely be using Zen Pet in the future!
