House Sitting in Meadow Vista

“Nancy was absolutely amazing with our senior dog. Shorty has some special needs and needs to be carried outside to go potty each time he gets up. She was wonderful and took excellent care of our very old puppy! I highly recommend Nancy to anyone who needs a trustworthy home/pet sitter!”

“Virginia is awesome! Our dogs love having her stay and she takes great care of everything when we are gone. She is very responsive and sends a cute pics of our pups so we don't miss them so much! I would definitely recommend using Virginia!”

“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 absolutely wonderful! Our 8 month old French Bulldog is a super friendly funny little guy, but he can be quite mischievous and busy. She handled it great and he loved her. Nicque gave us photos and updates and was very quick with response times while we were away. I highly recommend her.”

“Meaghan did an excellent job. My dog was very happy with her. When we came back home everything was in order and our dog more happy than never !”

“Aiden has taken care of our pets (cats, dogs, goats, reptiles) for years and does and amazing job! He is very responsible and reliable- if he commits to something he follows through. We call him the dog whisperer because he is so good with them. I would trust him to watch my pets any time!”

“Lorena is everything you could ever want in a sitter. She takes care of all your needs and my animals warmed up to her right away. I would highly recommend.”

“Jillian is very friendly, cooperative and communicative. She kept me informed throughout the day to reassure me that my dogs were fine. Because she did this, I could relax knowing my dogs were in good, caring hands for 8 days. She cleaned my house and took extra care to make sure she followed instructions properly.”

“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.”

“Juliet was great with our pups and a welcome house sitter. She kept me updated and shared pictures. Our dogs got the attention and care they need & want! We hope to use her again!”

“She was great!”

“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.”

About: As an animal owner, I know what I look for in a pet sitter. I provide full service pet and home care to my clients. I am a good choice for your cats, dogs and/or farm animals. The most important part of pet sitting is that the owner can enjoy their time away with peace of mind that their animals and home are being cared for at the highest level. I am happy to send daily updates and pictures. My availability is flexible to adapt to your normal animal care schedule. This helps your animal feel the least disruption while you are away. I am happy to bring in the mail, water plants and send pictures while I am pet sitting. I can visit your home 1 to 2 times a day or stay at your home for full-service pet care. I love cats and dogs and understand the importance of following their normal routine with love and attention.

“Shayna did a great job with my dog! She did dog/house sitting while I was away for a week. She sent me updates with pictures each day. She read all the instructions I had left for her and asked questions to be sure she got them right. When I got home, I could tell that my dog (and house) had been very well cared for. I will definitely book Shayna again. Thanks so much!”
