Top rated Jefferson Park house sitters

“When we read Danielle's profile we knew she was the perfect match for our older dog. Danielle was always quick to reply, great with our dog, sent lots of pictures throughout, and kept us informed about how our dog was doing. We also appreciated that Danielle was willing to schedule some meet ups before our booking to get to know our dog, and let our dog get to know her. We booked Danielle to stay overnight, and our house was exactly as we left it. We cannot say enough good things about Danielle, except that we will definitely book her again in the future”


“James was amazing! He took amazing care of our tiny dachshund and senior hound who have such different needs (as well as our house) while we were gone for 9 days. He sent wonderful updates and pics each day. Will absolutely book again!”


“I was nervous to leave my cat, as I have never left her with a non-family member before, but Mary was wonderful! Mary came by before the trip and was great with my cat. She updated me during the trip, and when I returned, my cat seemed very relaxed and content. I will definetely be booking again!”


“Jordan did a great job taking care of my dog, Beckett! She sent plenty of pictures and even knitted a little paw for me while I was gone. I also appreciated that she was tidy and bonus ran my dishwasher and stripped the bed for me on her last day. Would absolutely recommend Jordan!”


“Zach took wonderful care of our home and dog while we were out of town. Harlow was spoiled with so many snuggles and quality time. We hope to have him stay again in the future. Thank you, Zach!”


“Amanda was a wonderful sitter for our doodle Henry. He loved having her and she really took great care of him. He had walks and playtime and she sent frequent pictures showing us how much fun Henry was having. I was completely at ease knowing she was at our house with him. She also left the house impeccable. We highly recommend her!!!”


“Dakota, this review is written also as my gratitude. Thank you again for all your time and attention to my dogs for such a very long time (12 days!). They were content and happy when I got back. And the house was spotless! (You didn’t have to clean up!) I felt safe leaving them with you and deeply appreciated your daily updates and photos. I hope you and Spam would be willing to help us out again in the future 😊!!”


“Christian was absolutely excellent! Lots of good communication. Our two dogs loved her from the meet and greet and we feel confident we have someone to watch our house and dogs while we’re away in the future. Also took excellent care of the house. Highly recommend!”


“Andrew took great care of our dog and our home. He kept us updated on how she was doing and spoiled her with lots of walks!”


“Sam is a great communicator, very responsible, and treated our dogs just like her own! She dealt with our German shepherds, consistent need to fetch, and was patient and kind with our other older dog. Would recommend her to anyone!”


“Cailyn has been awesome while watching my pups this summer. She always sends pics and has responded quite quickly to inquires. Thank you Cailyn! I will continue to see if she is available to dog sit!”

“Ava did a fantastic job of taking care of my dog and I look forward to having her take care of her the next time I am away. Thank you again Ava!”


“Nathan was great! He house sat our mini Aussie for a weekend while we were out of state and went on multiple walks and was great with him! Highly recommend if you have a high energy dog!”


“Madison and Ryan were so great with my two pups! They sent plenty of updates and pictures which is always appreciated. One of my pups ended up getting sick on the last day from an autoimmune condition and they were super attentive and caught onto the symptoms immediately. They even offered to stay later than planned to keep an eye on him until we got home. 10/10 recommend and will book again!”


“Mackenzie was a great sitter. She accepted the booking with minimal notice and was extremely communicative throughout the entire booking. She provided regular updates and was very punctual with her visits. Strongly recommend!”


“Sarah was so wonderful with our dogs and kept in touch with us daily with photos to let us know the dogs were doing great! She is beyond lovely, respectful and great communicator! We look forward to having her watch our dogs in the future!”


“Emily was great with my cat! She communicated well and cat seemed to be comfortable with her right from the start. I would definitely recommend booking with Emily!”


About: I have owned animals since I was a child, as well as house sat for neighbors many times! I also have experience with high-energy dogs. My schedule is very flexible at the moment, so I am often available for any last minute pet needs. I am available on both weekdays and weekends! I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine—whether walking, dropping in, or house sitting. I provide reliable care, regular updates, and treat your home with respect, ensuring your pet feels secure, loved, and stress-free while you’re away.

“Victoria was wonderful! She was able to watch Sulley for me fairly last minute and was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates.”


“Kiersten was great! We needed a last minute booking due to a miscommunication with another sitter and she was able to come for a meet-and-greet and watch our sweet Stella for two days in our home. She was a good communicator and helped Stella feel comfortable. Highly recommend!”
