House Sitting in Johnson

“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 an amazing job caring for my dog and cat over the course of a few days. She was very communicative about how they were doing and updated me when minor mishaps had occurred. Despite my cat being a bit shy. yet needing to be given medicine orally, Jessica did a great job at establishing trust with her. Jessica was also very willing to take care of my plants and fish which was greatly appreciated. The house was clean when I came back and the animals had clearly enjoyed their time with her. I couldn’t ask for anything more, and I would definitely rebook with Jessica again!”

“Kellie is thoughtful and accommodating. She watched our elderly Amstaff for a long weekend. She took time in the weeks before to visit her so she would be comfortable. Our dog gets a little stressed when we leave her that leads her to get sick. Kellie stayed on the couch with her where she was comfortable for the night when she was sick. It is hard for us to get away with our dog aging and Kellie made it possible. We are so thankful for her.”

“Crystal did an awesome job taking care of Higgs. She took the time taking him for walks, and giving him the attention he needed. Always provided timely updates and pictures of Higgs. I do recommended her for daily visits or over night stays.”

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. Lastly, I’m pretty over protective with your pets so they arrive home in good shape. 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.

“Amanda was great! Very communicative and took great care of Buddy when he needed special care due to an injury.”

About: I grew up with animals around the house, we have dogs cats, chickens, turtles and fish! Learning how to care for animals correctly, was an important thing in my house. I started dog walking and pet sitting in early high school, and have done it ever since! I will take amazing care of your little critters and can’t wait to meet you both! I am very open, especially in mornings and evenings, and work well off of a set routine. I will be able to fit you and your pets needs into my schedule I treat my pets and my clients pets with the same amount of love and respect as I would give my own children. I can walk dogs and feed any pets and be a companion for pets while you’re away for the day, weekend, or month!

“Charity did a wonderful job watching our two larger dogs while we were away for the weekend! She is super communicative, clean, caring, and thorough. We felt especially confident with her being a vet assistant and having a lot of animal experience. Thank you again, Charity!”

“Grace was great, she kept us updated on our furry kid and sent pictures of a happy and stimulated dog. House was super clean when we returned home. Would definitely recommend her and use her again in the future.”

“I highly recommend Sienna. With a full house of animals dog, cats, kittens and feeding the squirrels she did an awesome job. Several of my cats have special needs, some are semi-feral, some all feral and others are lap cats she took care of them all with great care. She communicates while you are away so you know how everything is going. Great job I will definitely hire her again.”

“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!”

Ivy W.

“Alyssa was amazing! She was able to meet with us last minute, and super friendly and knowledgeable. Kept me updated while we were gone, and the house looked exactly as we left it. Definitely will be asking her to sit for us again!!”

Ayden S.

“Alexis is fantastic! I was nervous to leave my two cats with a stranger as they can by shy but I had complete trust in Alexis the whole time. She sent updates with pictures and definitely went out of her way to make sure they were happy and comfortable.”

Rachel H.

“Maggie is amazing with all our critters. Having her staying at our place with the dogs and other pets gives us a great piece of mind knowing everyone is taken care of. She is fast at communicating and understands when we want to see photos of the pups when we are gone. The house looked cleaner than we left it which was nice to come home to. Will defiantly re-book with Maggie.”

Chelsea D.

“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.”

“I found Noah as a top sitter on Rover and have actually booked his partner as well to help take care of my dog as I would be traveling from NYC to the Seattle area. Noah was very responsive and even did a virtual meet and greet with me prior to my arrival in Seattle. He was very communicative, responsible, respectful of the home during overnight stays, on time and really went above and beyond to ensure my dog was happily playing. My dog loved having Noah take care of her and it was reassuring to know I had found someone I could trust with my furbaby while I was gone. I cannot thank Noah enough and recommend him any more highly. When I am back in Seattle, he will definitely be my point of contact for any future dog sittings I need.”

Courtney K.

“Angel and her son were fantastic and did a great job watching our Saint Bernard. While we love our dog, and he is very sweet, he’s 145 lbs and can be a handful. Angel did a fantastic job handling our dog and I would recommend her to anyone needing their dog watched. She was compassionate, accommodating, and as friendly as possible!”

About: I have grown up with dogs and have petsat any and all types of animals since I was young. Now that I am a pet mom myself I know the importance of finding a trustworthy sitter for our furry friends. I do work full time but I am very flexible and can work with you on specific needs of your individual pets. Spending time and making sure the pets are taken care of is top priority. I have a dog and two cats. They are my best friends and I cannot imagine a life without them in it. My whole life is surrounded around making theirs the best if can be.

“Caelan just watched my dog at my apartment overnight for the first time, and she did a great job. My dog Arwen was coming off a stressful week and was determined to make Caelan’s job as difficult as possible. Caelan was communicative and flexible in making sure Arwen’s needs were taken care of, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”
