I had been using PhilaPets.com pet sitters for some time now and singing their praises. Manny's pet sitter was Miriam... I know he adored her and she him. I never had to worry no matter if I was away for 1 night or 2 weeks. I always knew Manny was well cared for and well loved while I was away. Miriam was even there when I was taken out of town in a matter of hours on a family emergency.

Yesterday, Miriam provided another, unexpected service. I awoke yesterday morning to find that Manny had passed in his sleep (he was around 11 & diabetic... I had planned to take him to the vet yesterday morning because he wasn't well over the weekend). In a sheer panic, I called Miriam for guidance on what to do in this situation. She quickly returned my call and calmly & sympatheticly guided me thru how to handle the situation.

Luckily my father, who had taken the day off of work to relax, was able to come over and help me bring him to the vet to handle his body.

After spending most of the day at my parents', I returned home to find an email from the whole PhilaPets.com team expressing their condolences on Manny's passing and that they had made a gift to the ASPCA in Manny's memory.
