What People Are Saying About Us!

"There are many circumstances that bring new people into our lives, and I will say with certainty that the new folks from Away Home and Pet Care are my new friends for life. You are wonderful people with good values and have this amazing warmth toward animals and humans. Thank you for your time and all the special extras you performed for us while we were away. The plants looked great and the Juncos were still here thanks to your efforts." Lynn D. - Irmo SC

"This was my first time using your service and was very pleased. My dog was very happy, I actually think she got more attention with us gone than when we are home. In fact, I wonder if Buddie wanted us to even come home. While we were on vacation, I felt very at ease with Buddie and the house. Could not have asked for better service. Thank you." Susan - Columbia SC

"I can't tell you how much we appreciate all you've done for our cats and for us. You've made it easier to relax and just enjoy our trip - so much that we want to take another trip around New Year's! Things were GREAT when we got home. The kids were glad to see us, but they weren't stressed out. I don't know how you did it, but you appear to be the only person who can care for Peakie Pie while we're gone without her getting freaked out! The only issue is that they're annoyed with us for not being as good at being Moms as you are at being their temporary guardian!  You were extraordinary!! " I.C. - Columbia SC

"My husband and I recently moved from Atlanta where we used a pet sitter before. However the professionalism of Robert and his staff is something I have never seen before in a pet sitting business. This gave us real comfort when deciding to use their services. We were comfortable from day one and will continue to patronize this business."  Carolyn P. - Columbia SC

"Robert, thank you very much for taking care of our 5 'children' while were were in California. The daily text message and emails were such a comfort. I never once had to worry about our pets or the house. Thank you so much! We'll be booking again!"  Kathy J. - Irmo SC

"We used another pet sitter and decided to switch because of all the amenities you offer for our pets and our home. We know that no matter the problem, your company can help us. How convenient!"  Josh K. - Lexington SC

"Thank you very much for taking care of my 16 year old Charlie. As you know, Charlie has a host of medical problems and I felt very comfortable leaving him in your care. I was a little nervous at first, but as I started getting the text messages every day indicating what meds were given and at what time, I began to feel at ease. By the end of the trip, I was completely confident that Charlie was in good hands. The fact that you are certified for pet first-aid was a real plus. I will recommend you to all my friends. I'm going out of town again for 2 weeks in September and will definitly be calling you to care for Charlie again."  Sarah P. - Columbia SC

"When Sasha had surgery we contacted Away Home & Pet Care to watch over her while we were at work. We didn't feel comfortable leaving Sasha at home alone and we didn't want to ask our parents to do it either. Thank goodness for Away Home & Pet Care! Sasha seemed totally at ease with Rick and we knew she was in good hands."  Buck and Linda S. - Columbia SC

"I can't believe a service like this exists! Now we can go out of town, even on short notice, and not have to even think about who's going to take care of our pets. Thank you!".  Paul B. - Gaston SC

"Robert, thank you for caring for our 4 dogs, 3 cats, 1 snake, 2 lizards and our fish while we were on vacation.  Your service is an incredible value and sure beats the heck out of putting our animals in a kennel! We'll be calling you again."  Jeri W. - Columbia SC

"I truly cannot think of any way to improve. I was so pleased and surprised by the good service, as were my neighbors, who spoke very highly of you!"  Customer Satisfaction Survey

"I had total peace of mind and appreciated the daily contact with text messages.........I've never left home and not worried about the house until using this service. We will never board the dogs again. The cats were all happy..........we usually have one or two that are so mad at us for leaving and all the animals were just as happy and content when we got home that it was like we never left. Thank-you so much."  Customer Satisfaction Survey

"I feel very comfortable leaving Boston with Rick while I am at work. Boston almost seems to have more energy when I get home, but I think it is his excitement from having a great day. He is no longer sad and bored because he is alone all day. It is such a relief to not worry about him when I am gone 10+ hours a day. Thank you so much for this great service. I have recommended you to everyone that I know." A.R. - Columbia SC
