Just like the Boy Scouts. Like other reviewers, my husband and I moved to Brooklyn and had to find another sitter. We had a very disturbing experience with a walker at another service in Manhattan. (confined the dogs to the restroom for 36+ hours, did not walk for the time we were paying him and searching for horrendous sites on the internet) Naturally, we've been punchy ever since. Enter Steve and pals. Petato is genuinely run by dog-lovers--not people looking for rent money. Each walker (and we've had at least 3) have left us enthusiastic reports (The Daily Petato) about how much fun they have had and where the they went for the walk. It may seem corny, but coming home to a stack of notes about how the visits went is incredibly comforting and almost feels like the dog had a hand in writing them as well: ""Well, we saw a cat and she barked at it. Then she went to the bathroom in the park and we played tag until it got dark...."" I recommend the overnight stays for vacations versus a kennel. Our dogs barely notice we've left!
Pros: Trustworthy, professional, affordable, genuine, thorough.
Cons: Absolutely none.
