Q&A

_______________

Q: “Why should I choose BOWOWMEOW Pet Sitting to care for my pet/s?”

A: I treat your pet/s as I would my own, beloved 9 year old cat sibling’s, Petunia and Tulip. They are Tabby rescues from Houston, Texas through the Portland Cat Adoption Team (CAT). Your pet’s health, safety and happiness is most important to me. Also, the fact that I work solo allows for there to be a clear, concise working relationship. Your information will be shared with me alone. There won’t be substitutes for me entering your home.

TESTIMONIALS
_______________

Griffin and Sampson

“We are home safe and sound and I wanted to let you know that Griffin and Sampson are doing GREAT! We were so happy that they seem cheerful and content when we got home instead of lonely and comatose like they usually are when we leave town! Thank you so much for all the toys you brought over and for keeping them active—I know that really helped brighten their days! We will definitely be calling you the next time we need a pet sitter. Thank you so much for everything. You are awesome!”

-Erikah and Tim

+++

Inka

“Thank you for introducing me and helping me adopt Inka! She has been an amazing pet and friend! She loves the treats you gifted her—especially the salmon ones!”

-Stewart K.

+++

Arthur

“Joan was so attentive, caring and professional in her care for Arthur. When I adopted him, she noticed he was having trouble eating. She encouraged me to contact the Oregon Humane Society and see if they could look at his teeth again. They determined he needed dental work that should have been performed before I adopted him, and performed the needed work free of charge.

If it weren’t for Joan’s encouragement and advocacy, I would have had to spend a small fortune on dental work. Joan didn’t just help me save me money, more importantly, she improved the quality of Arthur’s life. She rocks!”

-Ryan W.

+++

Elliott and Khan

“After being gone on vacation for a week, I came home to calm cats who did not really seem to miss me. Typically, when I arrive home, my cats, Elliott and Khan, are very needy and demanding. After a week with Joan, they seemed to be wondering where all the fun went! Joan is super creative with finding ways to keep the cats entertained and mentally stimulated. She even sent me videos of the boys playing, which I loved! You know you have the right person when one of the pics has the step stool in front of the TV because she didn’t want my cat’s neck to get stiff [watching The Cat Sitter DVD].”

-Kelly D.

+++

Jack

“I am so glad that I called you! We love the service that you provided. You really had everything covered and are well experienced. I was very impressed indeed! And Jack LOVES the peacock feather! He is also addicted to the catnip pillow you gifted him, made by the volunteer, Vera, at the Long Beach, Washington animal shelter. Thank you!”

-Abby and Brandon

Gus

“To Whom It May Concern,

I am delighted to recommend Joan Woolf for her outstanding pet sitting skill set which includes cat sitting and dog walking services. Joan cared for our pets for a full year while we lived in the Portland area, providing not only dependable and loving care but also exceptional professionalism and reliability.

One experience, in particular, stands out: when our dog was unexpectedly attacked by another dog while on a walk, Joan acted quickly and decisively, getting him to emergency care and ultimately saving his life. Her calm demeanor, quick thinking, and dedication in that moment were beyond what anyone could expect, and we will always be grateful to her.”

—Natalie L. and Larissa C.

REFERRALS

Woody and Wally

A referral letter written by a long time cat sitting client Shelli Jury:

“Dear Fellow Pet Lovers –

I am writing to provide a personal reference for Joan Woolf and her pet sitting company, BOWOWMEOW Pet Sitting. Joan cared for my two cats, Wally and Woody, on many occasions when I lived in Portland, OR. She was always my favorite and first choice, “go to” pet sitter anytime I needed to be out of town.

Joan has a wonderful, calm, caring personality and my kitties adored her. Joan was always very attentive to my cats’ physical needs while making sure they received daily attention and were loved and safe in my absence. Joan was always easy and a pleasure to communicate with. She kept me updated with regular check-ins and photos of my kitties which I loved to receive, as it gave me peace of mind knowing my boys were well taken care of by her.

If you need a kind, reliable and trustworthy pet sitter, I highly recommend using Joan for all your pet-sitting needs. She has a genuine love for animals and that reflects in the care she provides.

Feel free to reach out to me at + 1 310 918 2678 if you’d like more information or have any questions.

With furry gratitude,”

-Shelli Jury

Chloe

Another referral letter shared by an amazing cat sitting client, Bonnie Carey:

”I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Joan (owner of BOWOWMEOW Pet Sitting(Portland) as a highly reliable and compassionate pet sitter, having personally used her services many times as a pet sitter for my two persnickety Persian and Himalayan cats. My male Persian would get sick every time I left overnight causing a pet medical treatment until Joan came into our lives. Once Joan and occasionally her kind husband, Ryan, husband came with her to spend time with my cats. He is also a cat whisperer. I would always come home to happy healthy pets. Throughout our interactions, Joan has consistently demonstrated exceptional care for my pets Snuffy and Chloe by following all instructions regarding feeding schedules, medication administration and exercise routines with meticulous attention to detail. Her regular updates and photos provided peace of mind while I was away, and her genuine love for animals was evident in her interactions with Snuffy and Chloe.

Joan is not only trustworthy and punctual but also adaptable to any situation. I have complete trust in her.  And her fees are affordable and very fair. 

I have no hesitation in recommending Joan to anyone seeking a reliable and caring pet sitter.  Her dedication to my cats well-being is truly commendable.”

—Bonnie Carey

“Joan walked our two whippets, Sydney and Clover for over 2 years. She is extremely reliable and trustworthy and our dogs adored her!

Joan was always on time and she tailored to the needs of both dogs. Sydney was a senior and more wobbly and Clover was a high energy puppy. She always engaged them both in play and provided them with lots of love and affection.

Joan always communicated with us, including updates via text, photos and detailed reports about their walk.

She was always flexible and if something unexpected arose, she was able to work around our schedules. The dogs loved their time with her and they always returned happy and well-exercised. We moved to Boston and our only regret is that we couldn’t clone her! We can’t say enough good things about her!”
