Top rated Douglas house sitters

“Chelsea has been absolutely amazing with my dog. My dog is always very excited to see her, and will play with her until exhaustion and then lays down to cuddle, which she rarely does with anyone else except my partner and I. Chelsea truly has a gift for connecting with animals and I wouldn’t want to trust anyone else to care for my dog but her.”

“Katie was absolutely great! Kept in contact, loved Daisy, followed through with all our contacts when there was a problem. She will care for your pet like they were her own! We are already booking another vacation with her!”


“Julie did a great job with the boys. She cleaned up after her self and took time to brush the dogs. Three Newfoundlands can be challenging she did great.”


“Connor watched our two dogs in our home while we were away for the weekend. He did a great job! Our boys are hounds so they can be a handful but he not only watched them at our house, he took them out on two hikes! One of our boys also takes a few medications and Connor had no problem making sure he got his medications. He sent us pictures each day as well, which we always appreciate. I would definitely recommend Connor to anyone looking for a dog sitter or walker.”


“James & Reichel did a fantastic job with our furbaby, Oscar. They were always responsive and prompt, and we would definitely hire them again!”


“This is the second time we have asked Catherine to watch our dog and cat. And we would definitely ask her a third, fourth, fifth, and so on because she is wonderful caring for them! We had no worries being out of town and know that they are in good hands with Catherine. Anybody seeking Catherine's help to watch their pets will not be disappointed. Thank you so much!! - M&N”



“Stacy was very thorough in reviewing care instructions for my two pups and made sure to text me with updates throughout the weekend. She was very accommodating to one of my pups who is more nervous with strangers, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again if I need dog care!”


“Logan pet sat for our cat Bella for a week while we away. Bella is a senior with special needs. Logan came by to meet with Bella a few times before we went away. Logan then stayed at our home caring for Bella while attending college classes. We called every few days so Bella could hear our voice. Having Logan with Bella allowed us to be away knowing she was being well cared for and not alone for long periods of time. We will be in touch with Logan again to sit for Bella.”


“Lingwen has always provided the utmost care to animals. For her own dog and other people’s pets she has taken care of, she is very gentle and pays close attention to detail. She is observant of when pets are behaving not like themselves, which has been a lifesaver at times in the past.”

“Taioh was an excellent sitter for my two scotties. He arrived on time and was with them for 3 days. He also has great communication and sent me multiple photos and updates on how they were doing. My house and dogs were well cared for and my home was left clean and tidy. I am hoping to use him in the future. He was wonderful and my dogs love him.”


“Stacy did a great job taking care of our home! Our kitties loved her and she gave them lots of attention. We had a battery go out in our gas fireplace and she called us to talk about the issue. The she found a you tube video and figured out how to replace the battery. We were grateful to not have to stress about it. Most importantly, our fur babies were comfortable with her!”


“I am very glad that we met Matthew , we have been using his services for 3 years and he has never let us down. My Great Dane and Australian Shepherd dogs are not perfectly trained and not everyone can cope with them, but they both adore Matthew! A couple of days ago we had an emergency, we could not return from the trip in time, I asked Matthew, and he turned around from his way to college so that our dogs would not starve to death. He is very responsible and gets along well with animals! You will not worry about your pets if you use Matthew's service.”



“Katie was very conscientious and followed my pet's routines. My dog does not warm up to people easily but it was evident when I returned after 24 hours, that she had bonded with Katie. Katie is exactly what I was looking for , to dog sit my recently adopted senior dog with abandonment issues.”


“Jill did a great job She had to fill in at the last minute do to an illness of our original sitter She had to meet and greet on her own The house was left in great shape and she did a great job taking care of our dog I would highly recommend her”


“Dana is an animal lover! She has had dogs in her home since she was born, she is familiar with pet owner responsibilities including dog walking, feed/water, and medications. She completed an internship at a pet boarding and daycare facility and was then hired on as summer help. Dana enjoys cuddling and playing with dogs and cats. She is a responsible individual and has her own transportation.”

“Taylor was amazing. She was super prompt with all her responses and our dogs absolutely loved her! We definitely will be using her again. It was so nice to be away and know that our boys were well taken care of!”


“Amelia was excellent. Responded quickly to my request and arrived timely to watch my dog. She was in constant contact and provided photos. Highly recommend and will definitely request her when I need a pet sitter.”


“Sarah was great! She stayed with our three kitties for a few days while we were traveling and made us feel so comfortable. She sent the perfect amount of updates, and when we got home everything was just as we'd left it. We'll definitely be reaching out to Sarah again in the future!”


“Amy was great with our dogs. She was able to meet and bond with them ahead of time and that really helped when she came back to be with them. She provided us with regular updates and the dogs seemed really happy while she was with them. It was the first time we left them for more than a day trip so it was nice to know they were being well taken care of.”


About: I’ve had dogs all my life, big, small and special needs. Family, friends and neighbors have always counted on me to pet sit. I have many repeat boarders. *Update: I recently rescued a puppy. So a meet and greet with your pet is a must! I work M-F 7:30- 1:00 during the school year. Pets are allowed full access to my home while I’m away. I offer many different options to keep them busy during the day, snuffle mats, lick mats, puzzles and plenty of toys. I can crate your dog , if needed, or leave in a gated area. When your pet is here they are treated like our own. I have bowls, blankets, toys, treats and beds. All you have to pack is food! Check out my all my photos of the happy pups that have stayed with me.
