Jeff has always gone above and beyond for our pets. We were initially uncomfortable with the idea of someone visiting our house while we were gone, but Jeff immediately put us at ease. He's the only person we turn to now and helps us multiple times per year.

I used Jeffs services for my dog for 3 years and couldnt have been happier. He is a real dog person and is a model of reliability. I always knew my buddy would be taken care of when my erratic schedule precluding me from being home with him. I cant say enough about the professionalism over the years and would highly recommend him if you need a hand taking care of your pet. Great Service!

Jeff has helped me transform my life. He has shown me how I can eat right and enjoy it, exercise and have fun and most of all that having a positive attitude can be the first step to a happier and healthier life.

I can't thank you enough for all you've done for me the past 14 months. I am healthier now than I have been in a long, long time. Thank you for your guidance and encouragement.

I've been using V.I.People and Pets for about 3 years and Jeff is always there for me and my pets. I had tried 2 of the large pet sitting companies before Jeff and never had consistent, quality, personalized service with them for various reasons. I've always been extremely happy with Jeff's services and have absolutely nothing to say bad about him or his company! He's a keeper.
