Chai was very quick at responding and attentive to the needs of our Mazzy boy! Would definitely recommend her to care for your fur babies. Thank you again!

House Sitting • Sep 24, 2026

Chai did an AMAZING job watching our dog, cat, and house! Our dog had to have an unplanned surgery shortly before our trip, but Chai took it all in stride. She dealt with medications, a cone, puppy pajamas, exercise restrictions, and gave us plenty of updates, despite our 9 hour time difference. She left the house very clean, and the plants much happier and healthier than when we left them. She was thoughtful, communicative, and put us at ease on our long trip away from the fur babies. We would definitely ask Chai to come back! 😊

Chai is super responsible, communicative and seems great with animals. Our nervous rescue Oliver fell in love with her right away and she asked a number important questions about his care which made us feel like she was very invested in tailoring the sit to his needs. Very flexible and understanding when we had trip changes last minute. Would definitely book again!

Safety, trust & environment

When I am house sitting I like to make sure to send lots of videos and photos to you! If you need me to make sure other things around the house that needs to be done it’ll be no problem! Just wanna make sure you and your animal are comfortable. I am also the type of person to make sure the house is left looking better then when I came. I treat everyone’s home with respect and care, just like how I would if your pet stays with me. It’s important to me that you and your furry friend are comfortable!

A typical day

I love to make sure your dog is always keeping there mind and body strong! By doing that I would take them to dog parks, lots of walks and making sure they are super comfortable in their own space!

I would really like to know ahead of time if your furry friend has any specials needs to special instruction! I want be prepared and make sure both you and your baby are okay! If I’m house sitting I love either a written instruction or a shared note via phone instruction on how you want everything to be done!
