"Lisa and her son are the absolutely best pet sitters on earth! They've taken care of my cat (Rudy) since he was a kitten, and love him like he is one of theirs. They go above and beyond what's required, and even check in with me to make sure that we get back when we're supposed to just to make sure that our cat won't be without love or food for too long. Don't look any further - they are the best!"

"I recently hired Lisa and her son V. to pet sit for my service dog (Maggie) who is also a pet therapy dog, and we are working on competition level obedience. As soon as I met them, I knew that I could trust them completely with my best friend and my home. Lisa arrived with an impressively thorough questionnaire that included everything that she would need to know regarding the safety and well being of my precious friend, including commands, special handling instructions, emergency contacts.

I was particularly struck by their professionalism, reliability, conscientiousness, kindness, and overall integrity. When I returned, I found my dog relaxed and content, and my home was just as I had left it. I prefer not to leave my dog at home, but if I have to again, knowing that her care is in their capable hands gives me tremendous peace of mind, and I feel so fortunate to have found them!"

"We can't say enough good things about Total Pet Sitting and Lisa Orates. She adores our cat Willie as much as we do and he loves her very much. She and her son, Victor, are extremely reliable, professional, and trustworthy to take care of your pet(s) when you are away from home and we are so happy to have found someone that we can count on to look after our Wills when we are on vacation. Looking forward to many years working with Lisa and Victor!!"

"Excellent pet care! We are so happy that we found Lisa and Victor to take care of our two cats while we were on vacation for a week! During the free consultation we already knew that these people really love animals and we wouldn't have to worry about going away: the way they immediately interacted with our cats Oliver and Diederik was amazing. While we were away, we received detailed updates and photos every day.

We have a 17- year old cat who needs a lot of snuggling and a 4-year old who needs a lot of playing- time; it was clear that Lisa and Victor tailored their care to the needs of our boys. They also took time for grooming and cleaning and we really appreciated the fact that Lisa watched the health of our boys very closely.

On their website they claim they shower your pets with love; we can acknowledge this is absolutely true! Our cats were completely relaxed, at ease and healthy when we returned. And we were also relaxed while we were away, knowing they were in very good and loving hands. If you need excellent personal care for your pets, you should definitely contact Lisa and Victor!"
