JULY 2010

"Thank you Holly and Kane for taking good care of our dog Levi.  Knowing he was in safe hands made our holiday so enjoyable!  The daily text messages of his progress were wonderful as he is a very old dog and we were concerned as to how he would react to new people.  We shouldnt have been concerned at all, he seemed very happy when we got home!  thanks again I highly recommend your service!"
Katherine, Glynde.

Jack

"My husband and I moved to Adelaide in July 08 and have been looking for suitable care for our much loved cat, 14 year old cat Jack. We tried a couple of options, Vet, catteries, one with a disastrous out come. We ended up going away separately so one of us would be home with Jack….not quite a suitable arrangement. Until, I came across Holly from Pats4Paws!
We have just got back from a few days in Melbourne and Jack could not be happier. His routine was not interrupted, he was able to stay home and I did not have to feel guilty about putting him in a cage.
Thank you Holly for taking such good care of Jack and for my peace of mind. The next time we want to go away I will be calling on Jack's Aunt Holly to look after him. You are just what I have been searching for. "

"Just wanted to thank you so much for taking care of Milo while we were away. It gave me great peace of mind to hear how he was doing via SMS updates while enjoying our holiday! Since i've got home Milo has been giving me lots of smooches and cuddling, as i'm guessing he really missed me – so i'm happy about that. Thank you also for the yummy chocy! Be assured that if we need a carer for Milo in the future you are first choice!!"

MARCH 2010

"Due to the excellent care of Holly and Kane at Pats 4 Paws, we had a very relaxed holiday in Port Fairy, the first in a long time. I have lots of animals as I take in injured birds who need help at various pet stores as well as volunteering at Fauna Rescue, so there was quite a lot of animals to care for, and thought went in to how to manage it all. They were very helpful with this and their care was extremely diligent, kind compassionate and thorough. Our animals seemed to enjoy the change in people around the house as well and Kane and Holly both braved my hand raised parrots and were very patient with them and kind to them, as they are often cranky, needy and immediately leap at the opportunity to sit on a shoulder and whinge about their spoilt day to the nearest human. Their idiosyncrasies were accepted and I knew we were in good hands in the future, as my birds never forget someone who has bothered to spend some time with them. I have a variety of birds, a rabbit, a one eyed and very tame and intense little galah three chickens and several tame cockatiels. They were so well cared for my finches laid eggs and now I have even more animals! One of the best aspects of their care was receiving updates on the animals (as we missed them – and found our holiday oddly but delightfully quiet...) so each day we were reassured and happy to hear details of our ever changing ‘petting zoo;'.
I have recommended their service to many people and since then have been inspired to improve and change some aspects of our animals ‘homes' so that next time it will be even easier for them to help us have a rare but much appreciated holiday or work-related trip. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them to anyone  who wants to know their pets, and the keys to their house, are safe when they go away. "

Charlie " Thanks so much, it was great to come home to very content Charlie! We will call on you guys again in the future when we need to go away, we were very pleased with everything. And thanks for the chockie - just what I needed after travelling all day! " Caroline, Marryatville.		Smarmy "At first I was definitely unimpressed. I was quite put out that my owners had left and seemed to think I, Smarmy the Great could be looked after by two people whom I did not choose myself. However, I have to admit they did win me over. Kane even found that delicious spot behind my right ear that makes me dribble. I don't think anyone noticed though... " Smarmy, Forestville.

"Holly and Kane looked after our beagle X cavillier while we were away. They were great. The SMS was great for peace of mind and I know Denny would've loved the walks. I think he even looked a bit thinner when we came home from all the extra exercise. Thanks guys! Will use you every time."
