Gracie, a Bichon Frisé , came to live with me when my mother moved to an assisted living apartment. Gracie has special needs and must have medication administered a couple of times a day. She is very shy around strangers and other animals. It was difficult for me to leave town, because she did not deal well with being boarded at a kennel where there were lots of other animals around. I was so relieved when Olivia came to meet us and Gracie greeted her immediately like she was one of the family. Now, if I have to leave town for business or pleasure, Gracie can stay at home in her comfort zone and I am confident that she is being cared for well and getting her medications on schedule. And, when my work schedule gets busy and I have to put in long hours, I can count on Olivia to take Gracie for a walk and feed her in the evening. Gracie enjoys Olivia's company so much that if I mention Olivia's name, Gracie runs to the window to watch for her arrival.

Olivia and Pampered Pets has allowed me to rest easy when I am away. I know my best friend is in very capable and caring hands and my house is well secure. Olivia makes it so easy for me to schedule around my unconventional work hours and that is a huge burden lifted from my shoulders. It all comes down to a better quality of life for both me and my dog.

Thank you Olivia.

We have found Olivia to be trustworthy and honest with a professional approach to caring for our pets when we cannot.

She has proven to be dependable and walks our dog in even the most inclement weather. Our Saint Bernard just loves her. Olivia is a true animal person with a passion for loving and caring for our pets in a way that no one else will. We would recommend her to anyone in need of someone to care for their pets. We have also referred her to others who were equally pleased with her honesty and love of animals. A rare jewel, we hope she is in business for many years to come.

I have had the privilege of using Olivia’s services for the last several months for my puppy, Bailey. She has gone above and beyond to meet our needs, which have included a transport to the local vet and dog sitting on numerous occasions. I appreciate her flexibility and availability in accommodating my schedule, but more importantly,

I trust her with Bailey and know that she gives her quality care with a special touch. I enjoy going away much more when I can leave my puppy in her own home where she is comfortable to be cared for.

Olivia Makes this possible and is a true blessing for a new pet owner like myself, as I have occasional questions for which she has the experience to act as an animal resource person. Additionally, I know my home will be in trusted hands when I am away. All in all, Olivia’s services through “Pampered Pets” have given me the opportunity to maintain my social obligations while knowing my newest responsibility, Bailey, is in the best hands. That’s peace of mind.

We've used Olivia's services for almost two years. She makes sure our elderly horses (and barn kitties) are well taken care of when we're away. Our dogs love it when she comes for "doggie day-care" visits. Olivia is professional, courteous and extremely reliable. She is wonderful to work with. We absolutely give her our highest recommendation!

Greetings to all you dog lovers,

Linda and I are the proud owners of two Golden Retrievers, Roxie and Bailey. They are great animals and provide us with a lot of enjoyable time together.

Dogs are great to have around, however with dog ownership comes responsibility. We make annual visits to the vet, and if want to have them looking their best, frequent trips to the groomer. We feed them, spend time with them, and sometimes treat them as if they are a member of the family.

Another issue that pet owners have to deal with is what to do with your dogs if you want to travel. Although we do not travel a great deal, when we do want to get away for a few days we contact Olivia Vande Castle, owner of Pampered Pets. Using the service of Pampered Pets allows your dogs to stay at home. No trips to the Kennel. No need to confine your pet to a small, “cage-like†home for an extended period.

Your dogs can stay at home. Olivia will come to your home, let your dogs out, feed your dogs and spend some time with them. We have used Olivia several times. Our dogs know her and greet her as a friend; a person they trust.

If you are planning a getaway in the near future and are having trouble deciding what to do with your dogs, I would recommend that you contact Olivia at Pampered pets. After meeting with her, I can assure you that you will feel very comfortable and at ease with Olivia taking care of your pets' daily needs. There is a reason it's called Pampered Pets.

Thanks, Olivia.
