Friend In The Woods Pet

Outstanding service and reliability. We have been using Friend in the Woods for our many different pets for more than 5 years now, and have always been beyond satisfied. The quality of our trips has improved greatly knowing that they will be caring for our pets. I can't say enough good things about Barbara and Matt!

Reasonable, convenient and VERY reliable. Gives my cat insulin shots twice a day when I'm away or even home and post surgery. Charlie greets them at the door. Don't know what I would do without them.

AFITW have looked after pets for 4+ years. They came referred to us and we couldn't be happier we found them. They come to walk our energetic dog during the workweek and multiple daily visits when we are out of town. They are super responsive and are accommodating to our sometimes changing schedules.

I absolutely love Matt and Barb. They care deeply for all of their clients' fur babies. I trust them 100% and recommend their services to all who need their pets to be loved while you are away, with no worries.

Matt is the best! A Friend in the Woods puts you at ease when you need to go out of town and give your pets the same love and care you do. From the initial consultation and paperwork - which I greatly appreciated - to the photos of my cats and check-ins, A Friend in the Woods is reliable, great pet care in Jacksonville. My cats agree, too!

We've been leaving our two dogs in Matt and Barb's care when we go out of town for over a year. We have total confidence in their professionalism, communication and commitment to animals. The best sign of a good pet sitter is happy, healthy dogs when we return home! Highly recommend!

I recently used this sitter service and was sooooo happy with the results. I had recently rescued two kittens who had been ill for the preceding two months prior to my vacation, have an elderly cat with renal failure on daily blood pressure medication, and one of my remaining two additional cats had a complete urethral obstruction and was hospitalized the morning of our departure to Europe for 2.5 weeks. Matt was so great and upon my return all of my cats were happy and healthy. Matt even facilitated contact with my family regarding an A/C issue that arose during our absence. I can rest assured that during any future away time from home my cats will be in good hands. This is such a relief and allows me to enjoy my time away. Thanks. Debbie Hallam

Matt and Barbara are a godsend. Found A Friend in the Woods on Angie's List. I won't just trust anyone to care for my babies while on vacation. After extensive online research all recommendations pointed me here. I called several pet sitters for rates and they are worth it! Matt spent at least 30 minutes and was very detailed with planning and pet needs when meeting for the first time. Discount for paying with cash. Vacation without a worry. Check out the article in the Florida Times Union.

I have 2 dogs and 2 cats and I know that they are well taken care of when I leave town thanks to A Friend in the Woods. I have several animals who are older and need special care and that is all part of this service. They also have us call when we arrive back home so that they know that our animals are being cared for and they can discontinue the service. We will not use anyone else and can now travel with piece if mind!

When we can't take our babies with us we call Friend in the Woods! They are wonderful! They are thorough with their details and paperwork. The animals come first, no matter what. I trust them explicitly, and am so glad to have found them! No more sad animals when we come home!
