Top rated Oakton house sitters
“Hired for house sitting. She kept me well informed (with pictures) and cared for my reactive pup with no judgement. I am a repeat customer, grateful to have my pup looked after by Han,”
“Vinnie did a great job! He took care of my senior pup over the weekend while we were out of town. He dropped in 3 times a day, fed, and gave my boy his supplements/medication. Vinnie even hung around and kept my boy company after he ate, waiting for him to digest his food and then took him out again. A + service!”
“Camila P. took awesome care of our elderly dog Spot!”
“Tiffanie was great! She responded right away to messages and was happy to help out as needed. My cat and dog seems content and well cared for when I got back. Will definitely call her again.”
“Norman was absolutely fantastic!! He sent so many photos and videos, as well as keeping me constantly updated with time stamps! My dog can be a little difficult sometimes because she likes to eat things but he handled it like a pro and made me feel so relieved that she was doing good! Definitely one of the best sitters I’ve had!”
“Ariel was wonderful from beginning at Meet & Greet to our return. Great communication, fantastic pictures. Lexi, Luna, Leia & Theta are healthy & happy - and our home is very clean! Our quick trip out of town was seamless & worry free. Highly recommend!”
“Sophie totally blew me away, once again! I can’t recommend her services enough. She is so kind and so good to my cats when she’s with them. I was gone for 17 days out of the country and I never once felt like I needed to worry about them. When I returned, my apartment was cleaner than I had left it. Every instruction had been followed closely and Sophie even washed my sheets and remade the bed so I had a fresh bed made when I got in from a long, late flight. If you’re considering Sophie, just book her! You won’t regret it.”
“Kaitlin did a fantastic job keeping my pup calm and contained when I had to leave him post op! It was such a relief to have her watching him.”
“I was very happy with Andree's care and love she provided to all our animals. She was extremely responsive, communicative and trustworthy. We will definitely be booking with Andree again!!”
“Claire took care of our 3 dogs for the day we were out of town. She was awesome! Punctual and was able to gain the confidence of our fearful little guy in no time. She played with them in the yard to get them comfortable around her and the rest is history. She kept us updated throughout the day of how they were doing and our pack loved her. Thank you Claire!”
“The dogs were immediately comfortable with Leah. Good communication and willingness to do all the complicated medical needs our dog requires. Will definitely work with again!”
“Matt always does a great job with my lovable but sometimes challenging dogs. He communicated well and is very responsible. I will continue to hire him!”
“Lisa did an amazing job of taking care of my dog and cat for four days. She sent me regular updates with photos and was a great communicator. I also came back to a clean home. I would strongly recommend Lisa and will be asking her to homesit again. Thank you Lisa!”
“Dolly was amazing again! She even gave mylie a little doggie facial with rosemary, chamomile, and frankincense to soothe her while she’s been under the weather. It was so sweet. She was also perfectly communicative. Would highly recommend!”
“Will house-sat and took care of our senior dog Leo over five days and four nights. He did a great job communicating with us and attending to all of Leo's needs. He texted us daily updates with photos. He asked the right questions and also took care of some things around the house. He was easy to work with in getting set up. We highly recommend Will!”
“Lorene was wonderful with my boys. She was conscientious about making sure they did not get into trouble while in the backyard as they like to hunt for critters. She said that both of them were perfect gentleman and wonderful Snugglers. They also were very easy when administering their eyedrop’s and other meds. So happy we found Lorene and will be using her again.”
“Catherine took such great care of my dog and my dog was immediately comfortable with her. Catherine reported with texts and photos several times. I will definitely rebook and highly recommend Catherine.”
“Christina came through last minute AND was on time! She was so sweet and took the best care of my puppy while I was working; sending photo updates and all. We’re so grateful she was able to help puppy sit and I look forward to hiring her again! 🫶🏼”
