House Sitting in Joel

“We are very satisfied with the care Chayce gave our dogs. She kept us posted on the dogs and sent cute pictures. Dogs looked happy and bonding with Chayce. We will certainly try to book Chayce again.”

“Ashli was an absolutely incredible house-sitter for our (very) senior, mobility-challenged, black lab/border collie mix, Ajax. Quite literally the day we left for our five-day trip, Ajax—who is 15 ½ years old—took what appeared to be a turn for the worse. Yet Ashli was undeterred and not for one moment did she suggest we might find another sitter. When we returned, Ajax was in better shape than when we left him. Can one ask for anything more? Yet Ashli also did more! Because of Ajax’s condition, we did request more frequent updates than one might normally receive from a house or pet-sitter, and Ashli went above-and-beyond to provide them, along with pictures of him relaxing in various locations around the house. This put us at ease throughout our trip. Beyond that, Ashli communicated with us about different sorts of food combinations for Ajax, sat with him regularly, and cleaned up and washed any and all of the occasional mishaps -- effectively leaving the house, too, in better condition than when we left it. We might add that Ashli was also dealing with an extraordinarily difficult personal situation, which is precisely why she was compelled to cancel an earlier appointment (noted in a previous post). Given these circumstances—not to mention the challenges of caring for a senior dog with a near-endless list of special needs to which she had to adjust on the fly—we give Ashli the highest possible recommendation. We are ever so grateful for the care and kindness that Ashli showed to Ajax—and to us. Thank you!”

“Tharan was great and adapted to our somewhat changing departure time. He responded quickly to any texts and treated our pup very well. I would recommend his services to anyone in need of a house/ pet sitter.”

“Jessica did a fantastic job with Polly, my 14 year old German Shepard. Great communication and excellent care given to my dog. Would highly recommend!”

“Taylor was AMAZING. She made sure to check on my dog and cat multiple times during the day, and ensured that my anxious rescue was comfortable even when I wasn’t there. 10/10 experience, she goes above and behind for your pets!”

“Crystal was absolutely amazing and very trustworthy. Whenever I asked what was going on, she was quick with a response and picture (which I asked for!) My pup was very comfortable with her during the meet and greet and during the entire stay. I have already rebooked Crystal for my next trip! She was amazing!”

“Brandi took great care of my two dogs. She communicated with me throughout her stay and sent pictures each day. She stayed at my house and everything was clean and tidy when I returned. Would book her again.”

“Emily watched our zoo and house while we were away, and we came back to happy animals and a spotless home! Our dogs instantly felt comfortable around her at the meet-and-greet. She was receptive to all of the various needs and routines of our animals which gave us comfort while away. Emily is a sweet, responsible and trustworthy pet sitter, and we are happy to have found a dependable sitter!”

About: I have experience in working with pets because my mother and I ran a rescue in Texas where she was a nurse, I am especially caring with all animals. I have access to my fathers’ farmstead of 40 acres for hosting the pets there or in the safety of my apartment I sit the pets with my roommate Michael who is always introduced to the pet parents. We ask if the pet would like a free bath and so the owners always know about his role in the pet care before hand. I can accommodate your schedule and help you out any time or on short notice. I only use the food you require or healthy foods I buy for my business I offer discount rebates for certain circumstances; after booking is paid for extended stays & frequent updates if you’d like; and most importantly a safe pet environment. Again I have Acess to my dads farm for frequent exercise or if you dog needs more space to roam For stays longer than a day I offer free supplies for the dog/animal while staying with me such as litter and food in certain circumstances and again scholarships for families with economic hardships; which means, adjustments to my rates. I can accommodate special dietary needs and feed pets just good healthy food. I am a very safety aware person & wont jeopardize your pet in any way. I have a pet proof home & again I have access to my father’s farm and we love the do park if there are nice dogs playing; if the dogs require more movement daily and not just my safe location in Moscow where there is a back yard run for the dogs at pet friendly location. Field trips do include the dog park again, but only safe walk places where the dog is leashed all the time; as long as there are no high risk animals out at dog park the dogs love it there; there and various outings to socialize the animals and a comfortable large two bedroom apartment for couch potato dog or elderly animals We also have some extra leashes & supplies for animals that need them if you forget them at home.

“Claire is someone I would trust with my animals all the way. Her compassion, resilience, and love for animals is what makes her a perfect pet caregiver. My dog Scout is a handful on the best of days, but Claire can take care of him with an ease that I haven’t seen before.”

“Jasmine was such a doll! She took care of my pup, chickens, and garden. I came home to a clean house and happy animals. I’m so thankful! Is definitely recommend Jasmine to others!”

“Sienna was wonderful with our dog! She is quick to respond to your messages, flexible, and our nervous dog warmed right up to her. We will definitely be rebooking Sienna in the future!”

“Ann did an amazing job taking care of our two needy/behaviorally challenged cats for 10 days! They kept in contact with us, proactively communicated/asked questions, and left the house just as clean as when we left! When one of the medications began running out, I trusted them to help navigate the pharmacy and dose changes with us from afar. Ann is an extremely responsible and diligent pet sitter who we would 100% book again!”

“Audrey did a wonderful job pet-sitting our 13 year old dog and tending our houseplants while we were away on vacation for a week. She was very responsive to our requests for updates and photos via text and also didn't hesitate to ask questions about anything she was unsure about. The house was in perfect shape when we got back. Would highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve grown up with animals of all kinds in my home. While I currently only have a cat, I’ve been the owner of several dogs, a couple snakes, a bearded dragon and I’m not afraid of really any type of animal. I have a pretty open schedule, single mom to a couple of boys and pet mom to one sweet cat. I love snuggling any animal. So I live in an apartment but very frequently go out to trails and parks with my kids, I would have no problem including your pet!

“Nicholas took excellent care of my dogs while I was on fire assignment. He not only was extremely respectful of my space, he treated my dogs as if they were his own and sent me updates and pictures as requested. He was confident and more than experienced in handling my reactive dog on and off leash, as well as providing the proper feeding schedule and required medications to both dogs. I will definitely be using Nicholas in the future. I would highly recommend Nicholas to anyone looking for pet care! Thank you!”

“Very good with our dog and easy to work with. We will use Emily again for sure, per our dogs orders.”

“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Nayeli to take care of my two cats, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we met, it was clear that she had a genuine love for animals. She was incredibly attentive to my cats' needs and made sure to follow all the instructions I left. I received daily updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My cats were happy and well-cared for. I highly recommend Nayeli to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

“Jane took care of my geriatric Jack Russell for one week. He seemed very happy when I returned home. He was well feed ( sometimes he will not eat when I'm gone) and house was just as I left it.”

“I would absolutely recommend Griffen as a caretaker for anyone's animals. Griffen has grown up around pets and is comfortable with the care routines that different animals require to be healthy and nurtured. He also exhibits outstanding patterns of responsibility and effort. He is respectful and exhibits leadership by doing the right thing even in high pressure situations. I have also seen how Griffen consistently works hard to establish rapport and trust with his clients to ensure a relationship of mutual comfort and professionalism. As a collegiate athlete and exceptional student, he has displayed high levels of achievement in multiple areas of life and does his best at everything he is committed to. I have no doubt that this dedication and intentionality will show up in his interactions with you and your animal(s). If you are hoping to leave your pet in the hands of someone who will go the extra mile in providing care for your pet, Griffen is the right choice.”
