Very Important Petz

My husband and I have been using Very Important Petz for about a year now (since summer 2008) for Boo, our nine-year-old American Bulldog/Pit mix, and Ally, our two-year-old Black Mouth Cur mix. We had never used a pet sitter before and always had to scramble to find someone to come and let Ally and Boo out or someplace to board them (which the dogs hated) when we would go away. We had seen the Very Important Petz sign on Connie’s car and thought we’d give her a try. You can’t beat the convenience of a pet sitter or the compassion that Connie has for her furry clients. In January 2009, at the last minute, we had the opportunity to go to Pittsburgh for the Steelers – Chargers play-off game and needed to use her. We made a weekend of it, and while we were gone, Ally got really sick. Connie impressed us by not only cleaning up all of the messes (which were extensive, and I’m sure pretty gross), but she understood the seriousness of how ill she was and took the initiative to contact our vet and make special home-cooked food for her. This turned out to be the start of a serious illness for Ally which required life-saving surgery a month later. Connie cared enough to check in with us to see how Ally was doing. Ally is now well and back to being the diva she has always been. We highly recommend Connie and Very Important Petz.

I almost never go away, but recently I left my 5 cats in the reliable hands of Connie Daly from VIP. It was the best decision I could have made. I interviewed a few Pet Sitters before hiring VIP, but what really stood out with Connie was her attention to detail and her overwhelming desire to take care of my cats just like I do. It is not an easy task since I have 5 cats that don���t all eat the same food, some of which are on medications, some of which are difficult to feed, and who of course each have a distinct personality.



Connie came to my home twice before I left and stayed both times at least an hour. She went over the directions with me, studied them at home, and came prepared to handle every situation. While away, each day I received a different picture of each of my ���babies��� along with a brief synopsis of how they were doing. When I arrived home I had an adorable ���card��� from my kitties telling me how much they missed me. The most telling sign that she did an excellent job is that I came home to NO messes ��� a true feat ��� since when you have 5 cats there are bound to be issues.



She is excellent, reliable, and a true blessing to our family. Most importantly, it gave us peace of mind that our kitties were in trustworthy and dependable hands. I would recommend her again and again."

Very Important Petz gives me peace of mind that my pups will be given the same attention and care that I provide for them myself. I travel often for business and sometimes I don't get much notice and to feel assured my dogs are in good hands give me great peace of mind.

Connie cared for my cat. Gizmo is a shy cat (half Persian, half Himalayan) who is scared of his own shadow. He cannot be left alone for longer than a few hours. I live in NJ (outside of Philly) and was doing many workshops in the Harrisburg area for career development. I knew that the traveling back and fourth would be too much for him so Connie cared for him as if he were her own pet.



It went extremely well. Connie is efficient and professional in her work. I was apprehensive as I am not comfortable leaving Gizmo with anyone but knew I had no choice. Gizmo sensed Connie's gentle spirit and was willing to sit in her lap in less than an hour (usually he'll hide behind a sofa for hours when someone new comes to the house). Connie meticulously cleaned his eyes every day, and combed his overwhelming little mane of fur and cared for him as if he were a human being or more! I would only recommend Connie Daly to care for your pet if you want the best possible care available for your furry (feathered) loved one.

Mommy has to go on long day trips sometimes. And I can't hold it very long. So she contacted Very Important Petz. Connie from there has come to see me a few times and mommy says she'll definitely bring her back.



She plays with me lots, plus she checks in and plays with the kitties too. Then she takes me on a nice long walk and feeds me. And then she always emails mommy when she gets home to let mommy know how good I was. Plus she leaves mommy a really nice note on everything we did on our visit. I don't mind so much when Mommy is gone all day if Connie comes to play with me!
