Happy Wordy Pet Portrait Customer:
Satisfied with Pooch N Suds Vegan Dog Soap:
Really loved the Vegan Dog Soap, it cleaned my scruffy Westie thoroughly, yet didn't dry out her fur like other products we've tried. It also bubbles nicely and is fun to use. It also helps to know that there are less chemicals in there, as Westies as a breed is prone to skin allergies. We are happy we found this product!

From Gibbs & Ziva's Mom and Dad:
Margarita was great with our dog and cat. She stayed in our home and cared for them for two weeks. She looked after our pets and our house. She took our dog on long adventures every day, and he loved it. We felt very comfortable with Margarita, and our animals enjoyed her company. We would definitely recommend her services and would use her again!
Thanks, Margarita!

From a Cat Sitting Client:
I would highly recommend the services of Mom N Pup. It was with much greater ease that my son and I could go on a vacation knowing our cat was at our home (& not in a kennel). With regular email updates from Margarita, we were kept informed on how she was doing. As well, our bird was fed and the mail was picked up. When we returned home, it was apparent that the cat was happy and everything was well looked after. I believe bringing our cat to a kennel would have been traumatic for her so this was a much better solution for everyone. I would not hesitate to use Mom N Pup services again.

From Buddie's Owner:
I work in the film industry and I was in a panic to find care for my dog. I saw a business card for MomNPup. I called the number and got this very pleasant, professional voice on the other end of the line and felt immediately at ease. I arranged a meeting with Margarita for the next day to meet with Buddie (my dog) and she was everything I wanted and more! She made sure to get all the information she needed right down to the last detail and Buddie loves her. I would recommend Mom N Pup to anyone who needs the best care for their pet. You will not be disappointed.
A very satisfied customer!

From Vegas & Bobby-Jo's Mom:
It is my pleasure to provide a reference for Margarita Hobbes of Mom N Pup.
Margarita has given exceptional care to my two dogs since May 2006. I have used her services in many capacities over the years and have always found her to be reliable and trustworthy. When the dogs were puppies she would drop by once a day, 5 days a week, to visit with them, play, and help in their puppy training by reinforcing the house rules and by following through on training strategies that I was implementing. Eventually, Margarita came to stay with my dogs while I travelled which allowed me peace of mind knowing that they were being well cared for in their own home. Whenever I returned from my holidays, the dogs were happy and well cared for and so was my home.
Margarita is wonderfully patient and loving with my two dogs who quickly grew to love her visits. She has had to manage more than a few challenging situations, particularly when the dogs were puppies, and has always risen to the occasion. I really appreciated how she always kept me informed on how the dogs were behaving and while I was away she sent me an email every day letting me know how they were doing.
I recommend Margarita highly as a caregiver for your pets but, more importantly, so do my two dogs Vegas & Bobby-Jo.

A Houseful of Pets:
I hired Margarita of Mom N Pup to pet sit my dogs, guinea pigs and rabbits. Because I have so many pets this was a more difficult task than usual! In particular, I have a very old Sharpei who had been sick on and off for several weeks before my trip. I was very worried about her and gave Margarita a long list of instructions. In addition, I kept adding new things to the list as I was very worried about leaving my sick dog. Margarita was great! She took wonderful care of all my animals and even hand fed my Sharpei when necessary. At one point the dog did become ill and Margarita calmly contacted my emergency contact and took her advice. She even purchased more food for the dog when she wouldn’t eat her regular food.
Margarita kept me up to date with the animals by email. When we arrived home, all the animals looked great and the house was clean. It had been very hot while we were away and Margarita diligently watered my garden which was flourishing upon my return. I would not hesitate to ask Margarita to look after my pets and home again. She has a great work ethic and is a cheerful and responsible pet sitter.

From Phoenix's Owner:
It is with great pleasure that I write this recommendation for Mom N Pup.
Margarita is very hardworking, reliable and punctual. If I was not moving, I would still be using her dog walking service for my 6 year old Jack Russell.
I have seen great improvement and would highly recommend this service for anyone looking for pet training.
If I can be of further assistance or provide further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

From a Former Employer:
Prior to her professional incarnation as a pet care-giver, Margarita Hobbes kindly looked after my two cats while I was out of town on business. The cats were well cared for and made a new friend as a result. As a former employee of mine, I know Margarita to be enthusiastic, well-organized, and responsible. I would recommend her services without reservation.
