We have used Cambride Critter Sitters since we got our puppy in August last year. He is a chihuahua mix so he was just over 3 lbs. when we got him & in need of more than just one visit a day. Out of the 3 dog-walking services I found in my area CCS was the only one that could accomodate the twice a day needs of our pup (and for the record one didn't even respond to my inquiry; CCS and the remaining co. had exactly the same prices). One of the walkers we had (James) was excellent & even helped our pup with his training during his walks! CCS easily accomodated us when we switched to a once a day visit - although we ended up with a different walker as a result (not a problem though). My only issue is that one day I came home fom work to have my landlord (who lives on the premises) tell me that my walker had taken my puppy for a ride in her car - but nothing was mentioned about it in the note she left for the day. Um, yeah... not really comfortable with that, I mean I'm paying you to walk my dog not drive him around. Other than that one instance I've never had an issue with my service. Communication is easy enough (leave a note for the walker or shoot an e-mail to Kay), price isn't outrageous, billing is easy (get the e-mail from Kay & give her the OK to pay), you can meet the walkers (and can tell that they enjoy animals) and ultimately my little guy is happy!
Pros: very flexible, easy billing, walkers love what they do
