Top rated Elmwood house sitters

“I can only begin to describe how grateful I am for Stephanie house sitting with my two schnauzers. Both dogs absolutely loved her and got lots more walks than they get from me. Willow still goes into the bedroom where Stephanie slept and finds comfort snuggling into the pillow. Stephanie was prompt and kept me posted about how things were going. She was respectful of the house, and everything was spotless when I returned home. Willow has a number of health issues and Stephanie dealt with them well - everything from administering meds to watch and judge a little blip in Willow's health. Because she has a car, she was able to get Willow to my vet if it had been necessary. I would recommend Stephanie for anyone needing a house sitter or someone to com into their home to care for pets.”


“September was amazing, she will be our go to sitter from now on. I’m not positive , but I think Nooka may be ready for us to leave again soon.”


“Audra did a fantastic job! She sent us updates and was very communicative which we loved! We definitely recommend her!”


“Kara did amazing with Stella! I never leave Stella alone, she goes everywhere with me but I had complete peace of mind leaving her in Kara’s care over the weekend! She sent me the best, cutest pictures of little Stella Bean and kept me updated through the night and morning! Definitely an amazing experience overall!”


“Jess was absolutely amazing! We had a sitter cancel last minute and Jess came in and saved the day. She kept us updated frequently and included pictures. She accommodated every thing we asked and then some! Highly recommend booking Jess and we’ll definitely be using again!”


“Karlyn is the answer to our prayers! Seriously! We have a giant breed, a large breed and a stubborn English bulldog who is thinks he’s in charge. Karlyn clearly loves each one of them and it shows in the videos and pics she sends. Having peace of mind leaving our furry family behind is no longer a stressor for my family. Thank you Karlyn!!”


“Lynn was absolutely amazing to my boy while I was away. She was very attentive to him and took pictures of him and sent to me to keep me updated. Will absolutely hire her again. 5 stars!”

“Emma came to our home to watch our big dog. She came in the morning to let him into our fenced yard for the day and then came back in the evening to let him in. She took him on a walk and fed him.
