Top rated Lake View house sitters
“Maya was the best! She followed all of our instructions and gave our two kitties lots of love and attention. They clearly both came to adore her, and one of our kitties is very apprehensive of new people. We so appreciated the frequent check ins and she shared lots of photos and videos which always are a delight to see and helped us fully enjoy our travels. We have already rebooked her and very grateful for her!”
“Nia was amazing with my dog, Ava. Ava is blind in one eye and can be a bit on the nervous side with new people. She took to Nia immediately. No barking or jitters at all. I knew she felt comfortable with her right away which was the ultimate endorsement! Nia followed the instructions well, sent pictures and updates during her stay and asked questions when I forgot to relay something important. She is reliable, skilled, and professional.”
“We used Jacob for house sitting our pup. Jacob is very accommodating and checked in with us regularly. He helped us out while laddoo was sick. We believe laddoo had a great time with him. He was respectful of our place as well. Will book again.”
“My dog, Nala, was so excited to see Zoe arrive after briefly meeting her and it immediately reassured me! Nala felt so comfortable in Zoe’s presence she was startled awake from a nap when I got home.”
“Grace did a great job taking of our pets for 5 days! We have two cats and two dogs (with disabilities) and she made sure they were comfortable and well taken care of - and she took some great pics of them too. I’ll be booking her again!”
“Samantha was great!! We came home to a happy dog and a spotless house. She was really good about giving updates and sending pics, and clearly approached the whole weekend with a lot of care. She even played the viola for our boy! Would hire her again, for sure.”
“Olivia is the best!! It was the first time I’ve left my dog and I’m glad she was in Olivia’s care! She did a great job at keeping me updated and was amazing to my dog!!”
“Rachel is everything you could ever want in both a cat and house sitter! She sent very thorough daily updates at the end of each night, along with a handful of great photos. Our cautious cat really warmed up to her and we can tell she took extremely good care of him!”
“Claire did such a wonderful job house sitting and taking care of my cat and tropical fish. She is an excellent communicator providing text updates with pictures. She’s also quick to respond with questions. She’s very clean and left the house cleaner than when she found it. What a wonderful house and pet sitter! Highly recommend!”
“Katy was super sweet and took great care of our puppy. She sent pics through her time with the dog which is always a plus. We will definitely use her services again and totally recommend her.”
“I had the pleasure of having Jenna stay in my home to care for my dog, Pixie, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. This was the first time I’d left Pixie for more than a day, so I wanted to make sure she was comfortable and well-cared for in familiar surroundings. Jenna was incredibly attentive to Pixie’s needs, kept me updated with photos throughout her stay, and made sure Pixie had a great time playing with her friends in the building. When I returned, my home was tidy and clean, and Pixie was happy and relaxed. I will definitely be reaching out to Jenna again for my next trip! Highly recommend Jenna!!”
“Cece did an excellent job watching our dog. Communication was great, and the house was in perfect condition on our return. Louis seemed happy and well cared for. Would certainly ask Cece to sit for us again.”
“Gwynn did a great job watching little Maxwell. Maxwell loved her instantly and he was just as happy when I returned as he was when I left. I appreciate Gwynn taking such good care of my place and Maxwell while I was away. I will definitely hire her again.”
“Courtney was a fantastic dog sitter! She was respectful of my home, a superb communicator, and did an outstanding job with my pitbull Springer. Courtney kept me updated regularly throughout her stay, which really gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend her services!”
“Adina was great! She did exactly what we asked of her (coming in to our house twice a day to feed and play with our cat)! She sent updates and pictures and our cat was in great shape when we got home!”
