We have been using your dog walking services since our little girl was only 3 months old. She just turned a year and she stills loves her daily walks. We have also used the boarding services. It is great to have some one we trust with our Fantasia. Highly recommend all the services you have to offer.

I got a new puppy, Paisley, in April and the next day Bill came over to meet her. Bill came twice a day for the first 3 months to walk Paisley. I was stopped by a few people in my building that asked me if I had a family member walk my dog during the day- I told them it was A Bark and a Meow- they could not believe how much Bill cared for a dog he walked. It's been about 9 months now and Bill has become the dog walker of choice for my building. Thanks for everything!!!!!

Andrea did a great job sitting for my two older cats while I was away on vacation. This was the first time I used a professional to watch over the cats while away and I'm glad I did. I returned to two happy cats for the first time. Her prices were more than reasonable and she provided thorough documentation on the services she provided. I look forward to using her services again. Highly recommended. Thanks!

My fiance and I moved to the city earlier this year, and when it was time to go home for the holidays we had no friends or family to watch our cat. Andrea was the only pet sitter I contacted who seemed like she cared about spending time with our cat and making sure she was not only healthy, but also happy. Andrea did a fantastic job of taking care of our cat for the eight days we were gone. She sent me text message updates everyday, which helped me to relax during the holiday. She also picked up our mail. I would definitely use Andrea's services again, and I would recommend her to friends. Thanks Andrea!!

I've used A Bark and a Meow several times for my cats. There are a million high end places for dogs in the city but I feel that cats get left behind. I couldn't find a place that boarded just cats and most of the times my cats were with dogs and would come home traumatized out of their minds. With Andrea coming to my house my cats stayed calm and in their own environment. It also provided me some house safety with the lights being turned on and off and mail being collected. It's the perfect solution!
