Lucky to be at Home Pet Care, LLC

We are so very pleased with the level of service that Murphy and her company provided us while we were on a recent vacation. They took care of all 3 of my furr babies and my fish with the loving care that I gave them everyday. I got updates, pictures, and even visit report cards when we returned. She made sure one of my girls got her meds twice daily. We also forgot to take care of something in the house before we left and Murphy was able to take care of the item for us.
We will be recommending Lucky to be at Home Pet Care to all of our friends and family. We are so happy we found Murphy.

I am Nervous Nellie about leaving our 2 kitties to go on vacation, to the point where we rarely leave town for more than 2 days. We finally decided to put our trust in Murphy and her team. We can recommend them with confidence. They sent texts to let us know how the «kids» were doing and we came home to find note cards about each visit. Very professional and caring and completely trustworthy. We are already planning our next trip!

Murphy and her assistant Athena took wonderful care of our two «kids» Jasmine and Skipper while we were out of town for Thanksgiving. Our dogs are older and one is on medication but no problem for these great ladies! Meds were passed out, feeding right on time, snacks given, hugs and kisses and lots of attention too! Note cards were left for us each day they visited with details of the visit and also a picture or two sent to us via text message with care updates. Just wonderful wonderful attention give to our babies! House was tidy as well. Not a thing out of place. Cannot say enough good things. We will definitely be repeat customers.

Could not be more pleased with the level of service and attention to detail that Lucky to be at Home provides. Being that our dogs are family, we have always sought out pet care, and I have never been as satisfied or put at ease that our babies are part of Murphy’s family too. Hands down, the best care for your pets while you’re away and she should charge more! We feel very lucky to have found Lucky to be at Home.

We feel so lucky to have found Murphy and Michael at Lucky To Be At Home (and our cats agree!!). We have indoor kitties and maintain a small feral colony outside. Murphy went above and beyond in taking care of all of our fur critters, as well as picking up our mail, newspaper, taking out the garbage, cleaning and filling up our bird baths, insuring our outdoor plants were watered, etc. I’m one of those organized /​make a list for everything type persons and upon my first meeting with Murphy, I knew she was going to be a good fit. Throughout our time away, Murphy would text us updates as well as send pictures of the kitties. Just knowing our fur babies were in such good care made our vacation that much more enjoyable. When we returned home we loved reading the notes that she left after each visit. They were informative as well as humorous. Everything was taken care of; it was like we had never left. We definitely will use Lucky To Be Home the next time our plans take us away from home. Can’t recommend highly enough!

Murphy is awesome! We have been out of town twice this summer and both times have returned to happy pets. Murphy text you before to leave and when you return. She updates you as necessary and leaves detailed notes each day. Murphy is extremely professional and reliable.

We cannot say enough good things about Murphy and Lucky to Be at Home Pet Care. Amazing! She had been recommended by our previous pet sitter who moved, so we were already confident she was the right person for the job, but she wasn’t just right, she was perfect! When she arrived for the initial consultation, she was extremely thorough and made sure she documented every detail regarding our two dogs and two cats and their needs, likes, and «quirks.» She also asked if there was anything else we wanted done like rotating the lights and blinds so it looked like someone was home. When we contacted her to schedule pet sitting for our vacation, she was quick to respond to our request with a detailed price quote and then texted us again to confirm the day before we left. While we were gone, Murphy texted regularly to let us know everything was going well. She even sent a picture of our two dogs, which from my conversation with her, was NOT an easy picture to take! The dogs kept jumping and spinning around, but she got the picture! Getting a photo of our dogs was a nice little treat and really made our day. When we got home from our 6 day trip, I was truly amazed. Murphy had left detailed notes from each of her visits. It was fun to read the little details and see what everyone had been up to while we were gone. I was struck by how Murphy had noticed many of the fun little facets of our pets’ personalities without us even mentioning them. I could tell from the notes that she had really bonded with our pets and that they had been treated like royalty while we were gone. I would HIGHLY recommend Murphy and Lucky to Be at Home Pet Care to anyone in the Kyle area looking for superior service from someone who really cares about the pets she watches.

Dogs and cats can easily be boarded, but who’s going to board a guinea pig? Hiring Murphy was the best money I ever spent. She gladly came to care for my house full of pets twice a day, even offered to water my plants. When we got home she had left detailed notes every time she visited the house. My pets truly were «lucky to be at home!»

Many thanks are due to Murphy for the wonderful care she gave our elder fur faces. One of our cats has asthma that we’re struggling to control, and we were dealing with some flare ups in the weeks before our trip. I was extremely nervous and guilty about leaving her, even though she seemed much better. Part of our trip was on a cruise, which meant we would also be unreachable for a number of days, ramping up my anxiety. To add to that, I was facing needing an entirely new pet sitter, as our last one’s behavior was less than professional.
Enter Murphy to save the day! The problem with almost every pet sitter I’ve ever used is that even though they clearly love animals, they forget that this is still a business. And as such, I encounter a lot of flakiness. Things are forgotten or not cared for appropriately, records aren’t kept, they have no contingency or emergency plans in place, prices change at the last minute, etc. It’s a little disconcerting to turn your precious animals, let alone the keys to your home over to such people. But Murphy not only was very patient and understanding when this nervous pet-​mom flooded her with information about our feline’s condition, she came armed with careful procedures and an information gathering process that made sure she was prepared to handle any eventuality for you and your pets. I didn’t think anyone could out-​do me with Type A planning, but she remembered things even I forgot to mention. And let’s face it… the fact that she was undaunted by having to give pills to a fussy senior cat is impressive!
But I really knew she was the person for me when she teared up a little while I was detailing what we’d been through medically with our girl. And that’s ultimately what every pet parent wants in pet care — someone who will care for them as much as we will.
Another thing I love is that Murphy offers to send updates on your trips — calls, texts, etc. She also left detailed notes for each day she visited that we enjoyed reading on our return. She also went out of her way to do little extras. For instance, without being asked, she took out our recycling. And because she did this, she found that a tap on the side of the house had been turned on by some unknown person. If she hadn’t found it, it would have run for a week straight, costing us who knows how much in water bills and potential damage.
When we returned, we found our girls happy and healthy. She made this very nervous pet parent feel much better about leaving home now and again.
