Top rated Ivy house sitters
“Kelli was wonderful!! We had her stay with our dog for a few nights when we were on vacation. Kelli came over prior to her stay to meet us and make sure we had all our questions asked. It was clear our dog really liked Kelli and she was always great with communication. We’ll be sure to book her again!!”
“We had Allison watch our two tiny dogs for over a week. She checked in with us everyday to give us updates. She was very easy to get a hold of and responded immediately. Our pups were happy and looked very well cared for when we returned. Our condo looked like we hadn’t even left. I would highly recommend her!”
“I wish I could give Megan more than 5 stars! Megan was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Benji! She came to our home to watch him, & I could tell right away she genuinely cared about making him comfortable and happy. She was punctual, kind, and so easy to communicate with. While we were out, she kept us updated with messages and adorable photos, which gave us total peace of mind. Megan treated him like her own, which made us feel so at ease! When we got home, he was relaxed, happy, and clearly had a great day. It’s rare to find someone so reliable, caring, and trustworthy, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend Megan to anyone who wants their pets cared for like family!”
“Yasmin went above and beyond and took my kitten Sir Snuggles to the vet when he was not feeling well (with my approval) when I was on travel abroad. She even got the vet on the phone at the appointment to talk to me. She was fantastic - and Snuggs is all better now thanks to her help.”
“Anthony was so good with our 2 pups. He took on the stages of our puppy with potty training and chewing things up with no problems. Very communicative and great with dogs!”
“Paul was amazing! He was quick to respond and sent several photos/updates. With it being 4th of July weekend, we were happy that Paul was willing to spend the night and ease the pups anxiety with the loud noises. Thank you Paul for watching our pups on short notice, especially on a holiday weekend!”
“Nancy stayed at our house for two nights and was great with our two cats! One needs liquid medicine administered twice a day and she handled it with no problem. Nancy was very communicative, and sent pics & videos for us to see how well our kitties were doing while we were away. We will feel perfectly comfortable using Nancy again!”
“Emily was amazing with our two pets! We got lots of updates and photos and came home to two very happy and relaxed animals after a week away. We've already got Emily booked to come back!”
“We would highly recommend Angie for anyone’s pet sitting needs! She didn’t experience any issues with our elderly, special needs dog who requires medication and a Bailey chair to eat in twice a day, who also can be dog reactive on walks. Nor with our senior cat who requires medication daily as well. Our other senior cat who is very skittish even came out to say hi, which I think shows a lot about Angie’s character. We loved the occasional check ins and photos of our pets we received from Angie. On top of all of that, we came home to a clean house. After being gone 10 days. With 3 shedding pets in the house! We feel very fortunate to have found Angie. She will be our top choice for all future pet sitting needs.”
“Our dog is a little nervous and he seemed to do great with Molly staying with him for the weekend! We got periodic photo updates so we could see how he was doing. We’d definitely have Molly stay with him again!”
“Abby was a fantastic sitter for our elderly cat, Bob, who has some pretty high snuggle needs. She went out of her way to introduce herself in person before our trip, asking thoughtful questions to make sure she understood Bob's routine and personality. While we were away, she was easy to reach and quick to respond to any questions, giving us regular updates that made us feel so at ease. Bob seemed to warm up to Abby quickly, and it was clear he was well cared for while we were gone. Knowing he was in such good hands gave us true peace of mind. We’d absolutely recommend Abby to anyone looking for a caring, communicative, and reliable pet sitter!”
“Natasha was an amazing dog/house sitter! She left my house spotless and sent the perfect amount of updates. We felt very comfortable with her staying at our house and taking care of our dog!!”
“Sam was nothing but amazing while we were gone! She had great communication skills, and was very professional. She sent us photos of the boys and kept us in the loop of everything going on. I would 1000% recommend her again!”
About: I am available 7 days a week. I can come to your home or your dog can stay with me as long as its 25 lbs or under; senior dogs okay. I'm retired so I'm available 7 days a week, no job too small, you can call me when or if you have a last minute cancelation. I live in a townhome community so your dog should be able to walk on a leash if staying at my home. (No fenced in area)
“Donna was nice and very easy to work with. She was reliable and on time for both the initial meeting and for the stay so we could leave on time. She did a great job and provided some good updates and pictures of the dogs. Thanks for taking good care of them!”
“Sasha was amazing! She took excellent care of my 3 dogs and my house. My dogs loved her! They didn't seemed stressed at all when I got home after being away 8 nights. A good sign! I will definitely use Sasha again!”
