House Sitting in Magra

“Nancy did an awesome job house and pet sitting for us! We were gone 10 nights, she watched our two dogs, one puppy 6 months and a 4 year old who needs meds twice per day. She followed all my instructions and never had to get ahold of me for anything! She sent us daily pictures and we felt comfortable knowing she was tending to our girls! Our house was great when we got home, all neat and tidy! I definitely recommend Nancy as she does a great job, and is pleasant to work with! Thank you Nancy!”

“Virginia was fantastic. We had a meet and greet before we left and she was wonderful with our dog. We got daily updates with photos and video while we were away and it was obvious she really cared. She absolutely put our minds at ease while we were away.”

“I was happy to know our boys were in good hands while we were gone. They even got to have play dates with her pup Stella. Thank you again, Christa💕”

“Nicque was amazing with our big goofy Rottie, she came to our campsite met him and spent the day with him while we went rafting. We had no worries, he was very well taken care of, and he was sad when Nicque left. We highly recommend Nicque”

“I've known Aiden since he was born. I've watched him grow into a pet loving young man. He is an Eagle Scout, embodied in the Scout Law and that makes him a person of strong character. Aiden's care and concern for all animals was taught to him by his mother, a Certified Veterinary Practice Manager. Aiden lives by the three Scout Promises, Duty to God and country, Duty to other people, and Duty to self. You couldn't find a more trustworthy, responsible person to care for you pets. I highly recommend Aiden to anyone needing a true animal lover.”

“Sara was very communicative and attentive! We had some last minute schedule changes and Sara was very gracious accommodating our change in plans. She and her pup were very sweet with our dogs. Would definitely book with Sara again!”

“Meaghan has been a great help to our family who needed care last minute for a family emergency. She was communicative, flexible and took great care of our pets. I woul not hesitate asking Meaghan y to ovpet sit again!”

“Annsley worked her magic on Sophy, who is a very sensitive rescue dog, with anxiety and a lot of shyness. Sophy was giving Annsley doggie kisses the day after I left for my trip…a first for a pet sitter for her. Annsley stayed in good communication, just the right amount and was able to send pictures too. When she had a concern about Sophy not taking her morning medication, Annsley contacted me right away and we figured it out…all good. I am very grateful that Annsley was able to do this sit for us…it was very short notice as I was traveling to attend a family member funeral. Lastly, I really appreciate Annsley’s enthusiasm and love for animals in general, and her excitement to do this sit for us.”

“Mel was a pleasure to work with and went above and beyond in all areas, thank you! Wholeheartedly recommend and look forward to working with Mel again in the future.”

“Amy was a great sitter, she was always on time or early. She had a great connection with my dog. She was a fun energy to have in the home. I highly recommend her. I look forward to working with her again.”

“It’s always a pleasure to have Courtney at our place with our two energetic boys! We were gone for week and we knew the boys were in great hands. She went above and beyond with her communication, cleanliness, and love for our boys. We always recommend Courtney and will use her again in the future! Thank you again Courtney! The boys say hi and that they miss you already! 🤍”

“Stacie responded quickly whenever I checked in. Our dog seemed happy when we got back from our trip! She helped do a few extra things at our house too with our chickens. Everything at the house was fine when we got back.”

“Sarah was wonderful! She asked excellent questions, ensuring that the dogs were well taken care of. She sent photos/text updates throughout the weekend that we really appreciated, and loved on our pups just as much as we would have had we been home. On top of all that, she left the house spotless! We highly recommend her!”

“Meredith is so caring and thoughtful. My pets were very happy to have her stay with them and treated extremely well. The dog now requires ear rubs as a regular activity from us. The house was kept neat and clean. We felt very comfortable leaving and knowing she would be there. We hope to have her stay again soon.”

“Kandace is great with all animals. She loves them like her own. She is a Perfectionist. Everything she does is perfect. I think she would be great at whatever she does.”

“Daniel took great care of my elderly pup for almost two weeks. Right away he showed her love. She was comfortable and healthy and he gave updates on how things were going. He did a great job! Would recommend.”

“Cynthia was a wonderful house sitter and took extremely good care of our home and animals. We were so happy to have found her and would absolutely let her watch our home and animals again.”

“Nathan was communicative, prompt, very personable, and did a great job sitting our high-maintenance Jack Russell while we were traveling for the holidays. I will definitely book him again!”

“Katie was fantastic! She watched our 7 yr. old dog and our new puppy while we attended a family event. She took our older dog for a run, which was great because our older dog is so high energy! She also tended to our new puppy with great care. She definitely had her hands full for the day but handled them both with ease! It was a great experience for us and our dogs. We hope she'll be available again when we need a sitter. Thank you Katie ♥️”
