“We continue to use Machalah regularly for overnight sits with our dog! She’s so communicative and sweet with him. He definitely has a great bond with her and it’s awesome to have peace of mind when traveling that our dog is well cared for!”
“Nicole was great with the dogs and they warmed up quickly to her which made me feel so good about leaving them in her care. She was very good with communication and sending little updates. And when Kida got an upset stomach she checked in with me on her status to make sure we felt good about her care. Will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Gussie took care of our dogs on such short notice, which was a relief after our other sitter cancelled due to a family emergency. Gussie communicated and sent photos daily, which I appreciated. One of our dogs is 17 and she met his senior needs. Our other dog usually takes a while to warm up to people, but it did not take her long to warm up to Gussie.”
“Will is awesome! He stayed with our pup for a few days at our home while we were traveling. She had some anxiety with us gone and Will did such a great job getting her to calm down and making sure she felt all the love. Will made her very comfortable and did a wonderful job- even helping us by tossing some linens in the wash so they were clean for us. We really appreciate Will and will use him again in the future!”
“Trina is a gem! I feel so lucky to have found her and she took wonderful care of my kitty Izzy. So good in fact I didn't even get meowed at loudly on my return 5 days later! She played with her, fed her let her sit on her lap as much as she wanted which was a lot I'm sure. She's very conscientious and I felt like she cared for my kitty like she would want hers cared for. Izzy looks wonderful and wasn't traumatized by my leaving. BTW, my cat is 17, deaf, arthritic with kid ey disease who is super attached to me so I was terrified to leave her. But once I met Trina at the interview, I knew she would love Izzy as one of her own. I highly highly recommend her for persisting and overnights. She's the best!”
“Justine watched our pups for a week and they were obviously well-cared for and loved. I was relaxed the whole time away knowing that she had them in hand. We had a small hiccup with exactly which food to feed, but it was an easy fix and I look forward to having Justine back as often as she is available. She left the house just as she found it- possibly even better.”
“Skylynn (aka Ashton!) was fantastic watching my two large dogs. We have a Doberman and a Dalmatian who are pretty high energy and they were absolutely exhausted when we got back from our weekend trip. They were clearly well taken care of and the house was tidy when we returned. The updates and communication throughout the weekend was spectacular and put our minds to rest about the care my pups were receiving. Highly recommend and will be reaching out in the future again!”
“Stephanie did a fantastic job. My cat is very shy, but she made him feel so comfortable he crawled into her arms and let her hold him like a baby after less than 24 hours. He has never done that for anyone but me before! Cats are a good judge of character, and his comfort with her speaks well of the kind of person she is. It was a better outcome than I could have expected or hoped for. My dog had a great time with her too. He was skunked right before my trip and I couldn't fully get the smell out, but she took it in stride. He is a lapdog through and through so I am glad that didn't deter her from snuggling up with him. She gave him cuddles and comforted him when he was nervous about fireworks on the fourth of July. My flight coming back was delayed significantly, and she stayed an extra half day to take care of my boys. She was willing to stay with them longer, but thankfully it did not turn out to be needed. She was responsive, personable, and gave me regular updates. My instructions were followed to a T and my animals loved her. I am very grateful to have found someone trustworthy to look after my pets and will definitely book with her again!”
“Megan took great care of our babies and left our house very neat and tidy. She sent photos every day ❤️ Pretty sure she also refilled our Buff City laundry soap, which we left barely full. That was really nice because we had a lot of laundry to do after vacation!”
“This pet sitting was a return of Stephen and Wanda to our house. We were gone for 8 days and our 2 dogs and cat were very happy. Stephen and Wanda just effortlessly picks up where we leave and continue with everything as we would. We choose house sitting as that is the least disruptive for the animals and Wanda and Stephen looks after our place as if it was their own. When we return the animals are happy and the house neat and tidy. Thank you for letting us go on holiday and not having to worry about the doggies. We will definitely use them again and again! We are very happy and cannot thank them enough!”
“Alyssa was amazing with Teddy! She took great care of him and our house while we were gone. This was one of our first times leaving our pup alone with someone for an extended period of time and I could not be more happy we chose Alyssa! She sent us updates and pictures, gave Teddy lots of love and just overall provided us with a sense of comfort and security while we were gone. I would recommend Alyssa to anyone that asked and we will be hiring her again in the future! Thanks Alyssa for taking such good care of Teddy!!”
