(2007) "Reflecting on this last year...we just wanted to take this opportunity today, Lucy's first birthday, to thank you for the role you play in our lives and our girl's lives. We're so grateful for you and your services.

We know that you're to thank for Lucy's good potty training, her socialization with dogs, and her great walking manners. It is so valuable to have someone that we can trust to follow through with all aspects of Lucy's training.

We appreciate your professionalism, commitment to good communication, and reliability. We may fall victims to routines and schedules and forget to tell you...but our conversations at home often include 'how would we ever get along without Bobbie Ruth!'

With the exception of family, we have never trusted anyone, as much as we trust you, with our girls and our home when away. You may have any potential client -- at any time -- contact us for our referral. Time away from home is expensive so you have to find a way to enjoy without the stress of the care of your pets and home. Your trustworthy service really brings value back to the idea of taking a trip.

We wish you success in your business and in all of your ventures! Thank you a million times!"
Marcia and Travis R.

(2009) "Merry Christmas, Bobbie Ruth. We can't believe how time flies. Lucy will have been with us 3 years at New Years. Brinkley almost two years. Angel has been gone a year and a half. Just as much as we love our dogs, we are grateful you are part of our lives. Thank you for all of the care and fun that you bring to us."

"Heidi did a great job! My cats were happy and well cared for. Thank you!"

Erica G.
Ferndale, WA


"Thanks so much to The Placid Pet for your wonderful care of our animals. We appreciate the professional way you conduct your business, Bobbie and Tanya. Thanks for your daily care and seeing the 'best' in our pets. (I will try from now on to think of Dita's constant meowing, not as whining but as 'gossiping'!) Most of all, what we notice is that instead of being 'whacked out' after returning from a caged environment or neurotic and irritated after being left with an occasional visit from neighbors, our animals are calm and contented and seem 'happy'! You live up to your name! We are so grateful for all your conscientious care."

"Thank you so much for taking care of Odie and Porter while I was away on vacation! I was immensely impressed by your services and thoroughness in every detail of my pets' care. I was thrilled with the thorough notes and checklists of information you left and appreciated the return envelope. You are the best home pet care people and truly seem to care about the animals you deal with. I will be recommending you to my friends who are in need of your unique and caring service. You made my trip complete and enjoyable knowing you were here taking care of my little ones!"
Alisa B.

"I just wanted to tell you what a wonderful employee you have. Heidi was the best. She helped me so much while I was on holiday. The cat room was even cleaner upon return! She just seems to be the most responsible and caring person. You are so fortunate that she represents The Placid Pet."
Lisa F.

"[Tresa] was SO great and I really appreciate the attention she gave tomy kitty."

Lyndsey N.
Bellingham, WA


"For being her very first time, and having my Sicily bark at her non-stop, Jessica did a great job! The girls were much less stressed when I got home then they usually are after long trips. I could tell it helped for them to have someone come over and be with them and give them dinner and keep them on their routine. They were happy to see us yes, but not bouncing off the walls crazy as they normally are when we are gone for a long time. I will definitely be calling to use Jessica again soon!"

Stephanie D.
Blaine, WA


"Would you mind letting Tresa know how much we appreciated her notes about our cats while she took care of them? We were very impressed that she was able to charm even Owen. She described them perfectly and it gave us a clear picture of how they acted. Knowing they enjoyed hanging around Tresa while she fixed their food was reassuring that they had a perfectly wonderful time without us. Tresa really went beyond the call of duty!"

Gretchen O.
Bellingham,WA


"Thanks again for your excellent service. The dogs seem so happy and well adjusted when we got home. Teresa did such great care with them."

Nancy O.
Bellingham,WA


"I was so pleased with Tresa’s careful attention to mycat’s special needs. Little Egypt is doing better now, and is even off all of her oral medications."

Karen C.
Bellingham,WA


"I can't begin to tell you what Amanda means to me and Jessie. She is so amazing with animals and such a wonderful person with such a bigheart. She shows Jessie such individual attention and really cares about Jessie as a dog. This is not just a job to her. I feel so fortunate that Amanda, through you, to me. She has touched my life. I come from a different generation - I spend my day caring for people and cleaning up after them, but I find it hard to find anyone else who doesn't just "do a job." Amanda is clear, she's precise, she communicates well. I'm just so grateful. Your efficiency in the way you run your business, and the way Amanda provides care for Jessie is just superior."

Christie H.
Bellingham, WA


"Thank you! I really appreciate the first visit call and the check to see we made it home!"
Ellen D.
Bellingham, WA


"I am very impressed with your service and my cat's response to Tresa was really out of character for him--she has the right touch! I am sure I will be booking future dates. This is the first time I've ever had anyone other than family and close friends take care of one of my critters."

Julianne D.
Bellingham,WA


"Once again thank you for such reliable, excellent service! Thank you for caring for Winston and Cloe. It is such a relief for me to know someone who enjoys pets is watching over them. It made my visit so enjoyable with my son as I didn't have to hurry home for the dogs and I knew they were well tended."

I can't thank you enough for the fabulous care of Sunny and all the attention to detail. You are the best!

I am stunned nearly speechless by your service."

Deb B.

So, thanks again, we appreciate your thorough care...It is so good to know that you care so well for our family members."
Mary K.

"Thanks so much for minding the girls. You did everything so professionally and were so friendly.The rates were very reasonable and you exceeded all of my expectations.What a refreshing experience. These days it seems as though most businesses cut every corner possible once they have your business. I was pleasantly surprised that after you had my business you did everything you promised, and were so helpful. The bonus was that you were so nice and friendly too. I spent a good deal of money on my trip and I consider the investment in your services the best value of all. The peace of mind was worth every penny."
John T.

"I feel so relieved. As I said, I've gotten to the point that I don't really want to leave my dogs because I'm worried something will happen since I lost my Jack Russell recently. But after meeting you and talking, I feel they'll be fine

AHS Testimonials
(fromfamiles who relinquished pets, adoptive families, fosterfamilies)

"Thank you so much for taking a chance on Rozzie, now Rocky. I was heart broken to think he -- who had already suffered a lot of adversity and loneliness -- was going to the pound. I felt like you were an angel when you let him go home with you. Thank you for also finding him a home. We are so grateful and happy for him."

Amanda
Bellingham, WA



"I really feel that we made the right decision by finding Jetta a new home. I can't explain to you how good it feels knowing that Jetta is in a home where people really love and understand her. She is truly a great dog and we miss her very much, but the transition has been easy with your help. Again, thank you for everything and we are always interested in updates and pictures."

T.
Lynden, WA



"Thank you for your generosity and compassion [re: paying the balance due foran AHS dog's needed amputation]. You inspire me and I won't hesitate to mention 'Placid Pets' if pet sitting/walking come up."
Barb K.
Lynden,WA



"You have gone through such great lengths for my dogs. You have no idea just how much I appreciate all that you have done. It's a relief, in a world full of cynicism, to find someone with such a big heart.
C.H.
Bellingham, WA


"We would like to thank you and the team of dedicated people who work so hard to make positive changes for wonderful dogs like Chili! ...Some of the ways of obtaining dogs through the internet is a little unnerving and scary. I like the AlternativeHumane Society's mission statement.

I also love how you [Bobbie Ruth] knew so much about each of your dogs, the beauty of foster care rather than kennel care. We were so happy with your 'try her out and if for any reason this isn't going to work, just give me a call and I will come and pick her up!' That was amazing.

Our financial support for the Alternative Humane Society of Whatcom County is just not a one time adoption fee thing. We plan to continue to contribute towards your cause or look at someday becoming a foster family for some of your 'need lots of exercise' farm dogs!

Again, thank you all so much!"
Jeff and June T. and of course.....a special thanks from Chili!
