I am an anxious 'mother' of a 10yr old standard poodle. He received excellent treatment from Paul when I needed to travel overseas for a fortnight just recently. I came home to find him relaxed, happy, and obviously he had received professional attention during my absence. The carer also sent me text messages regularly updating me on how my dog was progressing. The carer seemed knowledgeable, sensible and practical, and really seemed to understand that I wanted the best of care for my dog. As well, he brought in the mail, took my bins out, turned lights on and off, etc., giving my house a lived in look. I was anxious about using this service initially, but would have no hesitations using them again. Lonely Pets was easy to work with, the moment I met Paul before I left I felt very confident in trusting him with the care of my dog. I need to travel for work on a number of occasions later this year, and I will certainly be using Lonely Pets.
