I am taking a much needed vacation and will not be able to | | except any pet services from August 31st to September 10th. For my current clients, I have an awesome network of pet sitters I can refer you to if you need someone during this time.

 | | New Photos and New Photo Prices
|
Hope summer is treating everyone well! I'm keeping very |
| | busy thanks to my many wonderful clients and word of mouth. I've added some more photos to my Gallery. I've also lowered my photo print/jpeg prices and have added the option of ordering 4X6 prints. Remember, if you want any size print, all you have to do is ask and we'll figure a fair price. Thanks again and look forward to serving you soon!

 | | Gas prices and effects
|
Due to the exorbitant gas prices, HPH has had to increase |
| | services by one or two dollars. This is already reflected in the rates. I apologize for any inconvenience. As of 3/12/08, those of you who have up and coming services, will remain the same. Thank you for your loyal business.

 | | I no longer use Yelp.com as a reliable site to | | | accept comments!
|
I have a new way to leave reviews and comments. Just click on Contact Us, leave me a comment, and I'll post it on the About Us/Comments page. If you've left a review on Yelp.com, you may want to send that to me again.
Yelp.com is a very unreliable place to list your business or place a review. They have decided to not fix a problem with their "spam filter". Basically, if you leave a legitimate review, but don't visit the site often enough or leave other reviews within a couple weeks, your review is marked as spam and it disappears. I've had four 5-star reviews completely disappear after clients took the time to sign up and leave a review. Yelp.com is apologetically unapologetic, if you know what I mean. Here's just a small exert of their explanation:
"Our system uses a certain level of spam filters to ensure that untrustworthy reviews (whether good or bad) don't over-power any business. Our system only looks for trust rating (this is loosely based on a users number of reviews, overall participation or use of the site, etc). Yelp is all about keeping the reviews as real as possible to make sure that there are not spammers who either write a ton of 5-star or a ton of 1-star reviews to unjustly help or hurt a business. I hope you understand that we in no way intend to discredit the reviews for your business as spam - our filters simply go on trust, not specific reviews."
"While we can't evaluate individual cases or re-instate specific reviews, we certainly appreciate your feedback and are continually striving to improve the service for you and your customers." Again, I am so sorry that we are losing some of your legitimate reviews in this process - we are doing the absolute best we can to ensure that the site is as spam-less as humanly possible! "
See what I mean by apologetically unapologetic. This is not a reliable business review site and I give it two thumbs down.

 | | Pet Portraits
|
For overnight stays I take pictures of your pets and send you a small JPEG of each pet to your email. If you like what you see, I can either make prints, make framed prints, send high quality JPEGs via email, or burn a cd with high quality JPEGS. More about portraits and pricing on the services page.

 | | HPH Pet Taxi
|
I'm opening up my services to include being your pet's |
| | chauffeur! A friend of mine complained about having to work during the times she needed to get her pets to the vet or grooming appointments. So, HPH Pet Taxi was born! It's not a novel idea but I think having this service is an asset for those who can't manage the time. CLICK HERE for more information!!
