“Melissa was great. She was very polite and easy to talk to. She took time with our cat and dog and kept them busy. She gave extra attention to our elderly cat. Would definitely recommend her 🐾”
About: My family has had dogs and cats my whole life. Growing up on a historic estate, we had chickens, ducks, dogs, and cats. We've also fostered and cared for hundreds of kittens. I'm a single woman with a flexible schedule, which allows me to house sit easily. I also own a cat who is 10 years old. I work full-time, but my schedule is flexible for overnight house sitting. I am available to check in on animals throughout the day, but will also be gone during most of the day for work. I love animals. I believe house sitting is an excellent option for animals, as they can remain in their own comfortable environment, versus boarding or going to someone else's house.
About: We've cared for animals in many ways over the years & have loved each and every one of them. We have a 10 year old daughter who adores animals and will be sure to be a good companion for your fur baby. We own a kayak business, so we only really work in the summer. Come summer time, we spend most of our time at the beach, which is within a mile of our house. We have a large back yard, not fenced, but it does have a runner that stretches almost the whole yard. If you have a cat, we have 2 big play towers and a litter box.
“Christina was excellent and a perfect fit for our animal family. One dog has anxiety, and the other dog is a rescue with separation issues. We arrived back at home to two very content and calm dogs. She walked them daily and was an excellent house sitter. We would have her back in a heartbeat!!!”
“Tess took great care of our energetic dog and cat at our home while we went on vacation for 6 days. We received daily photos and updates and came home to a clean house and happy, healthy animals. We'll definitely book with Tess for future trips!”
“Melissa was AMAZING! She watched our mini golden doodle for 6 days and took such good care of her. She sent tons of pictures and kept us notified. Not to mention, she went above and beyond whenever there was an issue. We look forward to booking her again!”
