Top rated Kent house sitters
“Sarah took excellent care of our elderly dogs and cat when we needed a last minute sitter in our home over the 4th of July weekend. We came back to happy healthy pets despite the noise that Independence Day fireworks inflict on our neighborhood. We highly recommend Sarah. Three out of three pets agree!”
“I cannot recommend Larcy enough! My plans had to change a few times but Larcy was incredibly flexible and helpful in work shopping a solution that ensured my dog got the best care possible while I was out of the country. On top of that, she went above and beyond when my dog fell ill right before the handoff. She patiently administered medication and provided compassionate, attentive care as my dog adjusted to the new environment. I loved all the daily photos and videos that were sent of my dog getting so much affection and cuddles! Larcy’s dedication and calm demeanor made a stressful situation so much easier, and I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such capable hands.”
“Pete did a fantastic time entertaining and caring for our 3-month-old, very active puppy. He spent two full days with Seamus, and sent tons of photos and updates. We really appreciated Pete's communication and his care of Seamus. We'll definitely rebook!”
“Michael and Madisyn are the best dog sitters we’ve had! We got daily updates on feedings, play time, walks and cuddles. The house was literally spotless when we returned. They’re communicative, respectful and most importantly, truly love and care about your pets. I highly recommend them for any services.”
“This is the second time I’ve booked with Brittney and Xime and again they were excellent communicators and very understanding and flexible. They got my normally skittish boy to trust them completely. Will definitely be booking with them again!”
“So glad to have found someone I trust to take care of my kitties!! She always keeps me up to date on what’s going on and sends pictures. Makes the time away from them a little less stressful ❤️🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛”
“Once again John to great care of our two small dogs while we were away, including dealing with vet instructions and medications for one of them. Thank you, John.”
“So happy to have found Brandi! She did such an amazing job taking care of our furry children and our home while we were away. She was very thorough during our meet and greet and asked all the right questions, taking notes on the instructions. I immediately felt comfortable having her take care of our pups. During the stay, she gave updates and sent pictures, which is always a nice touch 😊 We will absolutely ask Brandi to stay with our pups the next time we go out of town.”
“This was my first time using a stranger to take care of my dogs and I was a little nervous. However, Stephanie took great care of my two dogs. She sent lots of updates and daily photos. She was also very communicative and very respectful of our house. I would not hesitate to use Stephanie again!”
“Danielle was very professional and courteous with our 3 pets. Our cat warmed up to her quickly and our very shy pup took it in stride. I knew she would be great when she came in and noticed Buttercup was shaking and nervous. She took her time and read through our instructions very thoroughly. We would definitely hire her again and recommend her for your pet needs. Thank you!!”
“Katelynn is a sweet and thoughtful sitter! She was very respectful of finding ways to help with our homecoming. She kept us informed and updated photos very well. Katelynn has a gift with animals and is missed at our home.”
“Tiana was great watching our Great Dane. She came over to the house ahead of time to do a meet and greet. While we were away, she sent updates and pictures and kept the house tidy. I will be booking with her again in the future!”
“Kathleen was wonderful! She took excellent care of our dogs and sent multiple updates through our her stay. She took them on a long walk and took great care of our home. Couldn’t recommend her more.”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Mary was absolutely amazing with our puppy, Luna — she cared for her as if she were her own, with so much love and attention. She followed Luna’s schedule perfectly, kept her engaged, and made sure she was happy while we were away. We loved receiving photos and updates, which gave us great peace of mind. On top of that, we came home to a clean, well-cared-for house and an even happier pup. We feel so grateful (and lucky!) to have found someone so reliable, thoughtful, and communicative. Highly recommend Mary and looking forward to booking her again!”
“This is the second time that Brooke has watched my two German Shepherd’s. She does a great job both house sitting and dog sitting. My pups are always tired and happy when I get home! Highly recommend!”
About: I have been cat sitting in my neighborhood for well over seven years (since I was 11) and am well versed in caring for cats of all ages from kitten to senior. I currently go to university full time, so my schedule varies day to day based on classes. Until mid June I am busy Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9:00-3:30, but otherwise I am very flexible! I have a cat and a dog at home, having my cat for fifteen years and my dog for five, so I'm accustomed to caring for both. I am specifically good at caring for senior animals who may need special feeding schedules, medication, etc.
“Steve was great! Conscientious and very communicative. He took excellent care of our “boys”. Gave medication for several days and followed all the routines for feeding and toileting. He brought in packages and checked the mail regularly. Thank you!”
“Lois is fantastic! We highly recommend her and hope to utilize her house sitting service again for future trips. She was quick to respond to our initial booking request and made scheduling a meet and greet with our busy schedule a breeze. We've never had a house sitter before, but our puppy Biscuit has severe separation anxiety and so we hoped that being able to stay in his own home would help while we were away. He seemed very at ease with her from the first moment, and we knew he'd be well taken care of. Lois is very professional, friendly and is obviously a dog lover and very compassionate. She showed great care and patience with our hyper puppy, and we came home to a very happy and healthy pup! Thank you!”

She is such a kind soul and it's a blessing to know someone like her was watching over my pet and I knew I had nothing to worry about which really put my heart at ease.”
