Aldyth and Brad have been taking care of our kitties regularly for over 2 years, first recommended by our vet when our 20 year old guy needed daily fluid injections. It is very reassuring to know that they are prepared to deal with any issues that may come up.
They are totally committed to the kitties' well-being, with lots of helpful suggestions to make them as comfortable as possible while we are away. It is very apparent that they truly love cats and caring for them.
Very responsive, responsible, professional and caring - highly recommended! -

I was stuck this year--all my friends were going to be out of town and I planned a 2 week vacation away.
In desperation, I sought out a cat sitter and, luckily, stumbled upon Aldyth and All Creatures Healing Network. Aldyth was flexible in scheduling and, upon our meeting, I felt very comfortable leaving my cats in her care. She was very caring and even helped me when I was afraid my little guy was getting sick.
I came home to happy and healthy cats. I have no doubt that I'll be contacting Aldyth again to take care of my little guys. -

Ever been lucky enough to have to administer medicine to your cat? How about eye drops? Let me tell you, this is the Battle Royale between cat and human. Yes, it's for their good, but when you have kitty pinned down and are coming close to its face with liquid. . . that cat isn't going down without a fight!
Ahhhh, but into my home walks Aldyth Beltane, with her cool animal healer vibe. I call her the "kitty whisperer" . She's coming over to give my kitties their in home treatment. She very lovingly, patiently, and with a skill so smart (she's a vet tech you know), gently drops the medication into my kitties' eyes. Relief! Kitties are back to their usual routine of ruining my beloved retro couch, sleeping, and just being damn cute.
Aldyth has been a miracle because I could no longer continue to wrestle my cats down to the ground only to fail in medicating them but they having no problem shredding my arm. Aldyth isn't just helping them out, she's helping me out by giving tips so I may be able to do this on my own one day!
And for all you pet owners, these folks offer, alternative veterinary care (like acupuncture), dog walking, pet sitting, etc. Yeah, they offer all that too. Don't you love that you live in the Bay Area? Think pets in South Carolina get acupuncture? Well maybe they do, but that would ruin my point.
Most importantly if you want peace of mind that your pets will be well taken care of by people who love and respect animals, this is the place to call. -

The ingredient that makes All Creatures Healing Network stand out is the truly caring nature of the care Brad and Aldyth give to animals. They have a feel for each individual personality and know how to handle each animal as if they've known them for years.
I was the nervous adopter of two brand new kittens, after many years of being pet-less. Aldyth gave me all sorts of great advice and support. The shelter where I'd adopted the kitties let me know that they needed their tiny little claws trimmed. Aldyth handled the kittens with such tenderness and made such quick work of the procedure. I was very impressed and the kittens barely noticed.
I'd recommend Aldyth and Brad to anyone who needs any kind of help with their animals, whether it's pet-sitting, veterinary tech procedures or referrals to the right holistic veterinary professional. -

Aldyth genuinely cares about your pets. From the moment I met Aldyth I knew that Spike and Lucy would be in good hands while I was out of the country for two weeks.
Aldyth took exceptional care of Spike and Lucy. Not only did she do the usual petsitting duties (water, food, meds), but she went beyond the call of duty when she vacuumed (she brought her own!) litter from our floors.
I would not hesitate to have her petsit again. -

I have a very needy cat, Dudley, and was very nervous to leave him for a week.
Aldyth was great. She was happy to have us call her to check in half way through the week. My mom even went over to see him one afternoon, and told me that his litterbox and food dishes were totally clean, and you could tell she was taking good care of him.
While he was a little grumpy with us when we got back. He was well fed, and as happy as I dared hope he'd be.
I will have no problems leaving him again knowing that she would pet sit him. -

As promised, an update... still 5 stars. They were so supportive in accommodating my unexpected travel plans during the holidays. My cats are happy and mellow after a week-plus with daily visits from All Creatures and so am I. Whenever I checked in with David or Aldyth via email, I got a great update quickly. I don't need a lot of updates but just like to know that everything is going ok with the house and the "girls."
Aldyth's description of my cats was spot-on & funny: "Noodle is a wild little fizzgig of a kitty - lots of energy, and a little unpredictable. Mimi is a complete sweetheart, happy to see me, purrs and loves pets and attention." Thanks, All Creatures! I've "adopted" you as my cat sitters.1 Previous Review: Show all »

Everything everyone has said is TRUE..
We need a pet sitter when we leave town and have used ACHN several times to great results. She spends quality time with my pet and he is happy when we get home!
If you need someone who cares about what they are doing for you and your pets - Call. -

We hired Aldyth & crew on recommendation of the cats-only vet hospital in the Sunset. She's FABULOUS w/our cats, and our friend uses her now too.
We have two cats, one is quite crazy. Aldyth keeps them safe, fed, watered, and calm, which is a miracle for the crazy cat.
Very cool people. -

Update - Aldyth and Brad came by this weekend to de-mat Prickly Pete, who I'd let get into a sorry state. They were right on time, as before, and patiently brushed, combed and shaved my snarling baby boy. They are so incredibly calm... Anyone else (myself included) would have been terrified to do what they did. But one hour later, Pete was groomed to a fare-thee-well, and he's been in the best mood since - they really elevated his spirits by taking a pound of fur off him! Thanks!

I had Aldyth and Brad come over and groom my two cats this week. Embarrassingly, one of my cats behaved like a monster and was going crazy, but Aldyth and Brad were calm and professional while they held him and gave him a "panty clip." (butt-shaving for long-haired cats)
My other cat was afraid too, but he allowed himself to be brushed thoroughly. I'm sorry to say that I couldn't have my cat actually bathed, he was behaving so badly, but I admire the professionalism Aldyth and Brad showed while dealing with him.
I'm happy to give them 5 stars since it's certainly not their fault that my cat turned into a raving lunatic. I'd just like other Yelpers to know that if A and B can handle my snarling ball of fur, then they can handle anybody! :) -

Aldyth is conscientious and warm. I know my cats are safe and happy when she cares for them. I'm safe and happy when she cares for them! She comes to our apartment and spends actual hands on time with Murphy and Maxi. Then when I call her to see what they did while I was gone, she makes up wonderful adventures to tell me -- LOL! Not really, but she's THAT good!! You won't be sorry if you use her service.

Aldyth and Brad are lovely people who care very deeply for our furry companions! It is so wonderful to know that I have someone to call when our kitties need some extra grooming attention or we are going to be away for a bit. They are great communicators and go the extra mile for their clients and creatures entrusted to their care. I recommend them 100%!

We had been using Aldyth since we moved to San Francisco several months ago. She helped with an elderly cat who was quite feisty and difficult to care for. Aldyth checked in regularly while we were traveling and, in fact, brought a few health issues to our attention. She recommended an excellent vet, had suggestions for us when our cat's health deteriorated and went out of her way to be a resource to us. Highly recommended.

Aldyth was soooo great! I've never used a cat-sitter before -- always used friends or family but because SweetPea is so shy, they don't bother trying to interact w him and simply fill his food bowl, scoop the litter, and leave. Whenever I come home from trips, he is whiny and cries alot for days after my return. I let Aldyth know that he is pretty much a recluse, and she was so nice and patient with him. I felt so relieved knowing that she was coming to see him everyday and would try her best to interact with him. I just got home yesterday from a 2-week trip and I can tell today that Sweet Pea is relaxed and not upset as he had been after my previous trips away. Aldyth was always a phone call or email away and very responsive. I had to extend my travel dates and she was flexible and accommodating. I knew right away that I could trust her with my house and my cat!

Aldyth and Brad came to trim our cat's claws. Brad was very gentle with our cat, who was thoroughly untraumatized and happy throughout the procedure. Yay!

Every time I leave town, I thank the gods that I found Aldyth and her amazing pet-sitting services. She is, quite simply, the best: kind, open-hearted, experienced, knowledgeable, professional, and reliable. My cats love her! And I trust her implicitly to give them perfect care when I'm out of town.

All Creatures Healing Network is amazing. I moved to another part of the city that my former cat-sitter didn't cover. Her very first referral was All Creatures. Aldythe and Brad are smart, fun and caring. They came over to meet Boo and Scout before they sat for them the first time. It has now been one year and I am so thrilled I can rely on them. Just a few weeks back, I had to drop everthing for a family emergency and Aldythe and Brad were there for me to take care of the kitties....one a full week. I know when I leave they are so well cared for. I particularly love the email updates. :) Thanks Aldythe and Brad!

I can't say enough good things about All Creatures and Aldyth! She took the time to meet and interact with our menagerie, showing equal love and warmth to felines and canine alike. She has a good eye for when an animal isn't feeling well and combines professionalism with genuine affection for her charges. I would not hesitate to recommend All Creatures to anyone looking for peace of mind when they have to leave their pets for any amount of time!

This service is top notch. I have a very nervous cat who needs IV fluids, and I was a bit nervous myself! Aldyth was GREAT and by the next day, I was doing in on my own. She could have not been such a fabulous teacher and kept coming back for the money, but she was so patient and wanted me to be comfortable doing it myself. What a fabulous person! If I ever need ANYTHING for the cats again, I won't hesitate to call her again. What a great service!

Aldyth and Brad are miracle workers. I have a feral cat, Corky, who has stopped grooming herself so gets these wretchedly horrible mats that you would not believe. Not only to Aldyth and Brad come to my house to take care of these monstrosities, they also handle Corky with the utmost care and respect. Having them come to my home means that I don't have to add the extra stress of a car ride to Corky's life. Having Aldyth and Brad means that I know they are monitoring her stress levels and doing everything they possibly can to keep Corky comfortable through the mat combing/shaving. They have a special way with cats that I am so lucky to have tapped into. Thank you so much Aldyth and Brad!
