Top rated Lakeside house sitters

“Erin was the best pet sitter we’ve ever had! She kept us updated each day, was patient with our stressed kitty, managed the logistics of an house with multiple animals all with different care needs, and left the house clean at the end of the stay. We will definitely book with her again!”



“Simply put, Mandy was wonderful! We are so grateful for how attentive she was to our pooch and responsive to sending updates and literally the best pictures ever! We had the best trip because we knew our baby was getting so much love while we were away! Thank you Mandy again and again!!”


“Eric is a superstar. He visited our dog prior to us leaving and asked lots of great questions. While we were gone, he stayed at our home and sent lots of fantastic photos. You can tell he has a natural love for pets. I’d highly recommend him!”


“Valerie was easy to work with, sent pictures from every walk (as well as other cute photos), never complained when, I am assuming, Ginger got a little out of hand, kept Ginger out of danger when another dog escaped its house and came after her, and left the house as clean as I left it.”


“I would definitely suggest having Taylor stay with your doggie! Taylor was super attentive and sent lots of updates throughout the weekend . It felt really good to know that someone was staying with our dog Leo, specifically on Fourth of July during the fireworks when he gets really anxious . Taylor was able to give Leo his anxiety meds and comfort him during the fireworks . Taylor was respectful of our space and reliable person to be there to help with our dog’s needs. Also appreciate coming home to a clean place like how we left it before our trip. We would definitely love to have Taylor stay here again and watch Leo. Thank you for everything !”


“Savannah was an outstanding sitter for our two dogs! She communicated well and was attentive to the needs of two high-energy Labrador retrievers. I would recommend to anyone and will book with Savannah again”


“Bethany was amazing! Our dogs absolutely loved her. She kept us updated and even left little bandanas for Roscoh and Wallace. We will be using her again in the future!”


“We cannot express our gratitude sufficiently for the care he provided to our dogs while we were away on an extended trip. Our almost 15 year old pup needed additional support unexpectedly and he gave her the love and care she needed until we could get home. He is skilled, professional, kind and empathic. He is an amazing choice and we will always reach out to him first for future needs.”



“Janelle was fantastic. Provided frequent updates and pictures, was a great communicator, and gave our puppies so much love. You can tell she really loves dogs. We would love to have Janelle back some time!”


“Terri has been my dog watcher basically since my pup was born, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with her even close to as much as Terri. She is loving, kind, patient, extremely knowledgeable about dogs, and very communicative! She is well known in our neighborhood as a friendly soul and the person to go to for pet care. Just book her, you won’t regret it I promise :)”


“Jessica was amazing! We love traveling with Copper but hate to leave him alone when we go to a concert/event. Jessica stayed in communication. Showed up on time and Copper loved her. Knowing he was being so well taken care of helped us enjoy the concert!”


“Jenny is a delightful, responsible, and animal-loving person who is our dog's new best friend. This was our second time having Jenny dogsit for us. Once again, she went above and beyond in taking great care of Cookie, who is not easily won-over. Jenny is an exceptional communicator and sent frequent pictures and updates. She also took such amazing care of our house and it was a weight off our shoulders to know she was here while we were away. We feel so fortunate to have found Jenny!”


“Lara was outstanding. She came over for a long meet and greet which was very helpful as my dog is a little weary of new people. Before she came to care for my pets she sent over a comprehensive pet care form so she could understand each of them and provide the best care possible. I never worried about my pets while they were in Lara’s care, you can tell she takes really good care of them and loves animals. She sent tons of great updates and left the house in perfect condition when she left. I will definitely be using her again in the future and you should too!”


“Jennifer took good care of our two dogs (one of whom is a puppy) while we were gone. She sent pictures and was attentive to our puppy’s needs and left the house very clean when she left. We really appreciated her help and our dogs were quite happy!”


“Kaitlyn did a great job with our 2 medium/large dogs! Was very patient with our anxious dog who took some time to warm up to her. Took them on a nice walk, sent us pics throughout stay, and took great care of our house. Would definitely use again!”
