Testimonials

• “Janet has a tremendous enthusiasm for her work, and it shows every day. She’s built a great company that’s growing, yet she maintains the same amazing level of service. She enriches the lives of so many dogs in Sacramento, and makes new friends everywhere she goes. I recommend their business to all my friends with pets.”

• “When we hired Janet to take care of our dog we were looking for someone trustworthy & reliable that our dog also liked. We found that and more in Janet. Beyond being trustworthy & reliable, she makes recommendations about the health and care of our aging dog that has been echoed by our vet. Janet is also happy watering plants and bringing in the mail but we prefer she spends all of her time with our dog Lucky. We would recommend her to anyone who cares about the quality of interaction between sitter and dog. Finally, Lucky is much happier with Janet that she ever was at the weekend kennel. Thanks for all you do!”

• “Janet goes above and beyond the call of duty. I never worry about my pets when I am on vacation because I am fully confident that Janet will take care of them. One of my cats is on Prozac, and Janet gives him his pill every morning. Another cat is in renal failure and he hates everybody except my husband and me. He has been known to bat people in the face and knock off their glasses, but Janet cleans up after him and gives him his daily medications as well. She is conscientious and leaves me detailed notes about what goes on when I am away. It’s clear that Janet truly loves her job and has a passion for animals, and that’s the type of person I want taking care of my three cats. If an emergency were to happen, I trust Janet and know that she has the expertise and common sense to handle anything that could come up. That’s what you want from a pet sitter. Peace of mind.”

• “Janet is hands-down the best pet sitting service we’ve ever used. And we’ve gone through quite a few trying to find the right fit. Janet has a great background which includes working for a veterinarian which gives her some insights into animal behavior and illness/injury. Janet not only keeps the kitties happy while we’re on vacation but also does a lot of little things that define “going above and beyond” the call of duty. Brings in the mail, keeps the plants happy, takes pictures of the pets, even leaves a delicious fruit pie in the fridge from time to time. There’s no one else we would consider leaving our house and pets with. We’ll be sorely disappointed should she ever change fields.”

  —James

• “Janet has been the only one I have trusted to care for my cats — old, high maintenance, with health issues. She was recommended to me by another person who has an elderly dog with many health issues. I would recommend Janet for any type of pet sitting and animal care. She obviously loves the animals and that’s who I want around my pets.”

  —Kathryn

• “Janet really cared about my animals and took the time to play with them and left me personal notes from each visit about her time with them. She was also good about administering medications. Great pet sitter!”

  —Kristina

• “We’ve got an elderly, special needs cat who freakin’ HATES people (all except me!). Janet (and her cat-specialist employee) have been able to tend to Scully (also known as “the Scullenator”) without getting her unnecessarily upset (which always happens when you don’t follow instructions with her), and they’ve also been able to give her medicine (difficult with any cat, but with Scully, well, let’s just say it would be easier to climb Mt. Everest in surfing gear). I recommend them highly.”

• “Just an update, about a year later and Janet is still our go-to pet sitter for watching our cat.  We’ve used her multiple times including a very extended trip to Hawaii. She is hyper-focused on customer service and we always come home to a happy, healthy kitty running around like he owns the place. Which, of course, he thinks he does. I don’t care that Janet is number one pet sitter in Sacramento on the KCRA A-List. She’s number one for our family and that’s what counts.”

• “I had to use this service when I found I needed to go on an impromptu business trip. Naturally, it was a bit of a scramble trying to figure out who will take care of my dog and cat while away and on such short notice. After a few calls around I spoke with Janet at Go Fetch. I was quickly impressed with her flexibility, professionalism and understanding. When I returned from  the trip, I come home to happy pets, and a full report of what was done (exercise, eating etc). I highly recommend them to anyone.

• “After a year of caring  service I again highly recommend this service. Janet is a godsend to anyone who loves their pets as much as we do- we now have two cats with medical conditions and we really would hesitate to go on vacation if it weren’t for her compassionate and expert care. I would like to add that her compassion doesn’t stop after work – she is involved in many animal organizations and is always willing to lend a hand to help individuals place rescued pets. Many thanks!

• “When we lived in the Bay Area, a beloved member of the extended pack and one of my best friends, Aunt Becky, would move in with my dogs for the duration when we left town.  (I think she thought of it as a nice vacation from her husband, 4 cats and 5 guinea pigs.) Alas, Aunt Becky didn’t move to Sacramento with us. I’m a little nutty about my dogs.  My worst nightmare (literally) involves them wandering lost and/or something horrible happening to one or both of them and me being helpless to stop it. To make matters worse, they’re getting on in years and can be moderately high maintenance. Between my fretting and their medical needs, we don’t travel as much as we used to.  But when we do, we leave them in the care of Janet and her service. And because she is such a dog person, who takes her responsibilities uber-seriously and seems to care about my dogs as much as she cares about her own, I don’t worry about their well-being at all. And when we come back, the dogs are happy, the house is just as we left it, and there’s a nice, detailed note and a yummy treat souvenir on the counter.  In fact, the 15 year old lab has the nerve to look disappointed when we return. If you are lucky enough to have an Aunt Becky in your life, you’re probably not looking for a pet sitter. If you are reading this and want the best possible care for your pack, you should give Janet a call.”

• “I just moved to the Sacramento area, and was looking for someone to take care of my three cats while I was gone. So I started searching on line for pet sitters. I came across several ads of individuals, but nobody was bonded and/or good reviews. Then I came across Janet’s service. She had both. So I gave her a call and we had a nice chat. Set up an appointment, date and time. So far so good. She was punctual arriving at the appointment time, neat and clean looking casually professional. We got right to business, I showed her the feeding routine and she asked all the right questions, making notes. When she left I felt very comfortable leaving my babies in her care. While I was gone I checked in once and she responded back right away and said everything was fine. When I got home I found the house to be in the same condition I left it. She had brought in the mail and news paper and had them neatly stacked. Then I saw a day by day diary documenting her visits. What a nice touch. I am extremely happy with Janet’s service and would use her again. I recommend her highly.”

• “Janet and her team have cared for our pets for quite some time now; we don’t know what we would do without Janet. We have a dog Makazi and a cat Maddie. Janet recommended the vets to whom we take our pets and Janet’s assessment of their competency and compassion was spot on.  On two separate occasions, Janet correctly recognized potentially serious medical issues with Makazi and immediately called Makazi’s problems to our attention.  In one case, a specialist took Makazi off dog food for, maybe, two years.  When we were away on vacation, Janet did not hesitate to take over preparing Makazi’s rather involved human food meals.  Speaking of vacation, when we are on vacation Janet transports Makazi to and from the doggie day care facility Makazi attends to socialize with other dogs.  In fact, one time I was picking up Makazi from her weekly visit and Janet was at the doggie day care facility collecting another client’s dog.  When the facility operator brought Makazi out, Makazi greeted Janet first with big, wet kisses before she greeted me.  Janet has really helped us with Maddie as well  – and we needed help.  Maddie was our first cat – ever- and he was sickly.  We knew so little about cats, we did not even know how much to expect Maddie to eat each day.  We e-mailed Janet and she stopped by our house that evening with several samples of cat food and invaluable advice.  Janet guided us through the several-week process of persuading Makazi to accept a cat into the family.  Today, Maddie is healthy, happy, and runs the family.  Finally, Janet has made some excellent hiring decisions.  We have been pleased and comfortable with Janet’s employees as well.  Janet makes certain we meet and approve of her employee before we turn our precious Makazi and Maddie over to the caregiver.  We recommend Janet unconditionally.”

• “I have never needed a pet sitter before and usually relied on my roommates (who never did a good job, but adequate enough). However, I don’t have roommates anymore, and me and my girlfriend were going on an extended trip. We thought about just asking a friend to stop by, but we didn’t want to be a burden on anyone (we have a crap load of cats after all). So we found Janet and she was great! We have 4 cats inside, and 2 cats outside and she took great care of them while we were gone. It was nice not worrying about our cats while on vacation, and not worrying about coming home to a house smelling like feces. She left us a daily log of what our cats were up to and what she did with them. That was nice. We usually go on a lot of shorter weekend trips and just leave a huge bowl out for our cats to dine on, but we will probably just ask Janet to stop by to check up on them instead. Thanks Janet!”

• “Janet is amazing as well as her staff!  We have been working with them for almost 6 years now. We usually have Janet stop by our house over weekends 2-3 times per year to take care of our 2 dogs and cat. Even though we don’t use her all that often, she always remembers our pets’ names as well as their temperaments (some are hard to forget, I know).  She takes great care of our furry friends while we’re out.  She’ll even post adorable pictures on Facebook of our pets while we’re out.  She is trustworthy and always pays close attention to detail. Upon our return, Janet has always left detailed descriptions of her visit and how our pets were doing at the time.  She’ll even leave little treats behind for everyone to enjoy after we are home. There is a reason she is #1 on the KCRA Sacramento A-List.  We are so lucky to have found Janet!”
