House Sitting in Mills River

“Amber is very caring and truly loves animals. She tended to our dogs and even bought a couple toys for them to keep them extra happy. She was attentive and took pictures as well as took them for walks for fun. We were in a wedding and our sitter cancelled on us last minute. She helped us for a second weekend in a row and was prompt in responding to our request. She is awesome.”

“Megan did a phenomenal job taking care of Kyla while we were out of the country. My other sitter cancelled last minute due to an injury to her leg 2 days before leaving. Megan stepped up last minute and gave Kyla the extra attention and love that she needed. We felt completely comfortable while away thanks to the updates about her condition, plethora of pictures, and prompt replies! She even went to the vet to pick up additional meds and provided an update about the vets suggestions. We could not have been more comfortable, appreciative, and overall overjoyed with how well she took care of Kyla. We will absolutely be requesting her services again any time we cannot bring Kyla along!! Thanks for an incredible job!! Also, she took exceptional care of the house while we were away, going above and beyond as if it were her own. We cannot thank you enough!”

“You need Ginger on your "home team"! My world is my fur babies, and I very carefully vet out anyone who will be a part of their care. Ginger is conscientious, on time, follows up, communicates quickly and clearly, and takes her work very seriously. I have several little ones, but one in particular came from a really bad abuse situation. Ginger had him eating out of her hand in no time! I was out of town for 2 days and returned home to calm, happy kitties and pups, my home was tidy, everything was locked up, and I could just go right back into my work routine without any worries or delays. Her value as a home and pet sitter gives me the ability to be away for work and know that my home and animals are being well cared for.”

“Christina was great with our two little yorkies. She was on time, very friendly and we could tell she loves animals. I can always tell how good a sitter is by my pups actions when I return. I must say they were so happy, full and looked like they had a teddy good time. I most certainly recommend Christina to anyone looking for a good, honest and reliable sitter”

“Gabe took great care of our dogs while we were gone. He gave us lots of updates which was very appreciated! We knew they were well taken care of”

Katherine S.

“Elijah was incredible with our dogs, both when we boarded them at his place and when he house-sat for us. His communication throughout the entire stay was excellent—he kept us updated regularly and sent plenty of photos. Our pups looked so happy and well cared for in every picture. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. I would 100% recommend Elijah and absolutely trust him with our dogs in the future!”

Andrea I.

“Juliann watched our cat and dog while we were away for a long weekend. She did a wonderful job keeping us informed by sending photos and giving us regular updates. Highly recommend her.”

Mabelle K.

“Roxy had another great visit with Susan! Her eye condition flared up the day I had to leave and Susan was willing to put drops in 3x/day and reassured me that she would be fine. I always feel comfortable when I'm gone knowing that Roxy is in great hands with Susan!”

Kelly S.

“A great experience. Millie was very happy with Brenda as was I. Millie was well cared for and all needs met. The house was exactly as I had left it. Will easily call Brenda in the future.”

About: Able to bond with animals easily. Have had several dogs over the span of their life ( some for 17 years ) Know what to look for in regards to medical, exercise, and lap time. Would treat them like my own, and mine are my family. I am retired, have dependable transportation, and always ten minutes early. I am retired and have very few obligations. When I commit to a schedule for your pet, that becomes my priority. Accepting all schedule suggestions. Dax..a mixed breed rescue is going on 10 this year. He has a porch and an outside dog run along the side of the house. He tends to venture off to the neighbors dogs when he finds the opportunity. So he is leash walked when we go out. He has a free run of the house, as well as my brothers dog when she visits ( bernadoodle )

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs. I currently have a sweet, playful 70 lb bernedoodle who’s 2.5 years old and full of energy. My experience includes daily walks/runs, grooming, playtime, and providing plenty of love and attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I also offer dog RUNNING services for those high energy doggos that just need an extra zoom around during the day! Just book as a walk and add in a message that you’re interested in running. :) Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. I work 4 days a week at a local hospital, typically 7-8 hour shifts, so I’m home in the mornings and evenings to give pets plenty of attention. My own dog enjoys daily trips to the nearby dog park, plus quick potty breaks in the large grassy area behind my apartment. I make sure visiting pets get the same level of exercise, playtime, and affection to keep them happy and comfortable. In my home, pets have a safe, comfortable space, access to a fenced balcony, and constant access to fresh water. I follow their feeding schedules closely and provide regular walks or park visits for exercise. My friendly 2.5-year-old bernedoodle loves having playmates, and I always supervise interactions to ensure all pets feel secure. I tailor care to each animal’s needs, whether that means active play, cuddle time, or a quiet resting spot. If your pet is crate-trained and you’d like them to have a crate during their stay, please bring your own so they feel comfortable and at home.

“Michael is absolutely fantastic. This was the second time he stayed with my pups. It was a unique situation involving a hospital stay and unknown discharge date. He was flexible and worked with me to ensure my pups were well taken care and never left alone.”

“Kate took excellent care of our Lexi once again. She has a very warm personality and Lexi loves her. House was in better shape than we left it, and even though our internet service was out except on the last day, Kate was cheerful and made do with reading and DVDs. We were able to enjoy our time away without any worries. Highly recommend Kate!”

“Alatus was fantastic with our Sadie. He was on time and pleasant to visit with. Sadie absolutely loved him and we received some fantastic picture updates. We couldn’t have been more pleased. Will hire him and his wife again and again.”
