House Sitting in Guilford

“We are so lucky to have had Fawn house and dog sit for us for almost a week over the holidays. Fawn is extremely respectful and communicative. We had lots of updates and photos and felt very at-ease with Fawn in our puppies’ care. Highly recommend!”

“Lori is great! She totally understands our dog's temperament and took him on many adventures while we were away. We think he had more fun than we did!”

“Amelia is wonderful with my pets. She has always been attentive to their needs as well as my specific requests about their care, and is always extremely respectful, kind, and dedicated. I prefer Amelia to take care of my menagerie when I am away more than anyone else I have used in the last 10 years- both on or off of Rover.”

“Maggie is a wonderful housesitter. Our very anxious grouchy dog took an immediate liking to her. We will definitely be using Maggie to house and dog sit the next time we go away.”

“Stacie was terrific! It's very obvious she is in-tune with creatures and Sam seemed to be instantly comfortable with her. Going away is much easier when we know both house and Sam are in good hands.”

“Without a doubt, Kaila is the best in the business. Perfect care was given to our pets, and when our flight was delayed to double our sitting needs, Kaila stepped up for us then too. We will 100% be using her in the future, and will happily recommend her to anyone with animal care needs. 11/10 Dolittles, truly the best.”

“Hayley is AMAZING!! One of my cats is very social and the other is shy. She got BOTH of them playing, brushed them, and made sure they knew they were loved on top of the bare minimum of feeding them and giving my old lady her meds. She even checked to make sure my hamster was still breathing while I was away since it was always during my hamster’s sleep time that she was there. Highly recommend. Will be using again if I ever am going away and she is available”

“Absolutely great sitter! Would definitely work with Carter again.”

“Deanna is absolutely wonderful! She has such a warm, calm energy which is an ideal for animal care. I never have to worry when I leave my dog as she is very equipped to deal with anything that may arise. My dog becomes very relaxed in her care. I will continue to schedule house sitting with Deanna moving forward without a doubt.”

“Dakota did great with my very anxious, fear-aggressive dog. He also kept the puppy on a great house training routine. Dakota responded quickly and was available on short notice.”

“Hayley recently cared for our new dog and 2 elderly cats. We were concerned as our pet family is still in the midst of learning to live with each other and we did not know if anything might go wrong. Instead everything went perfectly, in a great part to her skill and sensitivity to animal behavior. Hayley was gentle and loving with all of them. She gave individual attention to each and as such created a place where each pet felt cared for in special ways. Within an hour of our departure she sent us a video of our peaceable kingdom which went far to put our worried minds at ease. Later she sent additional photos depicting how our animal companions were all relaxed and clearly not stressed in any way. We could not have asked for a better person and we will seek her competent and compassionate pet care in the future. Thank you Hayley!”

“Kendra was wonderfully communicative and took great care of Cookie and Bean whole house sitting this weekend - I know they are excited for the next time she is over, thank you!”

“Emily was very communicative and followed all of our instructions to the letter. She was also very warm and seemed really excited to hang out with our pups. I would absolutely hire her to take care of them again.”

“Razz has been my go-to dog care and sitter for about 7-8 years! They have come over to walk my 2 dogs on occasion but mostly I ask them to house and dog sit when we are away. I trust them completely - to care and love my dogs, to care for our house, to reach out if anything comes up ... and with 2 senior dogs, things do come up. During a recent dog sitting time, one of my dogs woke up and couldn't put weight on his leg. Razz was an outstanding care partner - we were far away and worried. Razz helped us to coordinate getting help for our fur baby. In addition to being reliable, they are a gentle soul that cares about the earth and world and is super amiable.”

“Eli has spent a lot of time with my dogs. He shows them so much love, immediately getting on the floor to greet the puppy playfully, and responding to the older dog with belly rubs and affection. Eli demonstrates an understanding of dog behavior and development such as positively redirecting the teething puppy with chew toys. He is responsible and timely, showing up when he says that he will. I trust Eli with my dogs not only because of the observable interactions, but also because he genuinely loves my dogs. I highly recommend Eli as a responsible, experienced caregiver for dogs.”

“My girlfriend and I hired Trey to watch our cat over the holidays, about 10 days’ worth of time during December a couple of years ago, and he took great care of her. He was diligent with the feeding times, affectionate while playing with her, and followed the rules quite closely. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a petsitter.”

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience having Sam watch the dogs. No issues, they are very happy, house looks awesome, thanks again Sam.”

“Jillian is great with animals! She watched my family’s dog on two occasions, our schedule was a bit chaotic, and she was flexible each time. Also, a very neat house guest. Would highly recommend!”

About: I have experience with complex dog behaviour including, separation anxiety, human and dog anxiety/reactivity/aggression, resource guarding, dog training, positive reinforcement methods, behaviourism and much more. I work from home the majority of the time and so can work from people's houses or can stop by at certain intervals throughout the day. I do travel occassionally for work so am not always available. My approach to pet care is person centred and individual. Your pet will have its own personality and needs and I will flex according to what they require and what you prefer.

“Lauren is an excellent cat caretaker. She has watched our two kitties multiple times, for multiple days. We know that they will be fed and played with, and that all will be well in the house.”
