She stays to play a bit and makes sure they have ample time to do their business. I also appreciate that she checks in with me and let’s me know how they are doing while I’m away.

16. Haley J.
“We have known Haley for several years and watched her grow into an extremely responsible and hard -working young woman. She has done house sitting for us that included a variety of indoor and outdoor pets and chores. She is even able to win over a very feisty little dog! Our instructions were carried out exactly as we wished. It is so comforting to know our much loved animals are being cared for by someone as terrific as Haley while we travel. I highly recommend Haley for pet care, farm animals, and house sitting.”

18. Mercedes M.
“I have known Mercedes for almost close to 2 years now. And she is my best friend. She has a dog his name is Fang. And she takes great care of him. She is the biggest dog (other than me) lover I know. If I still had my dog (sadly she passed away) and I needed someone to take care of him Mercedes would be the only person I would have take care of my dog. She is a very dependable caring person that would be great for watching and caring for anybody’s dog.”
