Top rated Paxton house sitters

“Ann is the best! She is reliable, communicative and goes above and beyond what is required for housesitting. She has stayed with our pets several times, both long weekends and for over a week, and she has taken care of everything. We know that our home and fur babies are in capable hands when Ann is there. I hope she never stops doing this!”


“As a long-term friend of Anna-Li's, I can attest to her immense love and care for animals. I have witnessed her caretaking for several cats and dogs over the years and she always prioritizes the animals. She is as responsibly devoted to taking care of others' pets as she is to her own family's dog. One of Anna-Li's strengths is how meticulous and attentive she is when it comes to animals' food and toileting needs. Another strength is her enthusiasm for playing, which is a great match for animals who need to release some energy or exercise. She is genuinely the biggest animal lovers I know- whether it be a dog or a squirrel she's constantly stopping to say hi to animals. With Anna-Li as your pets' caretaker, you can always be assured your fur babies are in responsible and loving hands.”

“Lila was a great sitter for Minnie. My very anxious “baby” took to Lila very quickly and that is not her norm, so I felt very comfortable leaving them together. Lila communicated and kept in touch well. She was very respectful of my home and even left a cute doggie thank you note. Minnie seemed to love her and I know this because often when I get home Minnie us sitting by the door waiting. She was sleeping in the living room and much calmer than my usual returns. I recommend Lila as responsive, responsible, and respectful. Thank you!!!”


“We spent a weekend away without our pups, and I’m very happy with the care provided! The communication was good, and I came home to very happy dogs. Taking care of three big dogs can be a lot, but that wasn’t an issue for Mo! My dogs took to Mo right away, and I felt very comfortable leaving them knowing they were in great hands. If you’re looking for a sitter, I highly recommend Mo!”


“Sam was fantastic. Very good with my pet and my home!”


“Kayla is an amazing sitter. She took care of our two reactive fur babies for a recent weekend trip out of state. It was our first time entrusting anyone outside of family and close friends with Bark and Hachi and Kayla quickly won over both of them. We are so excited, relieved, and grateful. We will definitely be staying in close touch !”


“James & Reichel did a fantastic job with our furbaby, Oscar. They were always responsive and prompt, and we would definitely hire them again!”


“This is the second time we have asked Catherine to watch our dog and cat. And we would definitely ask her a third, fourth, fifth, and so on because she is wonderful caring for them! We had no worries being out of town and know that they are in good hands with Catherine. Anybody seeking Catherine's help to watch their pets will not be disappointed. Thank you so much!! - M&N”


“They are great with animals and gave a strong passion for all animals. They will make sure your pet is loved and safe. They will always be on time and easy to reach if anything should come up or change.”


“Stacy was very thorough in reviewing care instructions for my two pups and made sure to text me with updates throughout the weekend. She was very accommodating to one of my pups who is more nervous with strangers, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again if I need dog care!”


“Logan pet sat for our cat Bella for a week while we away. Bella is a senior with special needs. Logan came by to meet with Bella a few times before we went away. Logan then stayed at our home caring for Bella while attending college classes. We called every few days so Bella could hear our voice. Having Logan with Bella allowed us to be away knowing she was being well cared for and not alone for long periods of time. We will be in touch with Logan again to sit for Bella.”


“Kitana has been a great walker and house sitter so far! Highly recommend!”


“Kayla is a passionate animal lover. She has always cared our dog like her own. Kayla would be an asset to any family in need of pet care. She is patient and kind, my dog loves his walks with her. Kayla gives him the exercise he needs & we have a happier dog because of her.”

“Tosya was great taking care of our French bulldog, Chloe. She followed all of our instructions, respected the house and left everything the way she found it. Chloe at the time had a pre-existing minor injury from playing and running too hard (she will play fetch and run around until exhaustion), and Tosya took extra care to not exacerbate Chloe's injury, no matter how much Chloe may beg even when injured. Chloe is a cuddle bug and loves attention and Tosya was more than happy to cuddle up and give Chloe lots of pets and attention. We also have an antisocial cat and Tosya respected his space but made sure he was in the house, fed and had water. We were very happy with hiring Tosya as our pet sitter and recommend her for anyone else looking for a reliable person to watch their fur-babies.”

“Ella is a wonderful person, I’ve known her since she was a child, she truly loves animals and I trust her to take good care of my own!”

“I wholeheartedly recommend Cameron as a pet caregiver. Her genuine love for animals is evident in every aspect of her life—whether she's caring for her own pets or volunteering at animal rescue centers. Having grown up with both a dog and a cat, Cameron has an instinctive understanding of animal needs, and her passion shines through in her attentive, loving approach. Cameron’s clean and active lifestyle ensures that every pet in her care receives the best environment possible. Her willingness to stop and pet animals wherever she goes is a testament to her affectionate nature and dedication. With Cameron, you can trust that your pet will not only be well-cared-for but will also enjoy a joyful, engaging, and safe atmosphere.”

“Excellent care for our 3 dogs and cat. Cara made sure our special needs dog got what he needed. Cara respected our home and left it as she found it. Great communication throughout. We will book her again!”


“Ainsley has been caring for a wide variety of fur babies since she was able to walk. Dogs, cats, rats, snakes, birds and guinea pigs- you name it, she's cared for at least one! Ainsley loves all living creatures. She is both compassionate and level-headed. She knows how to work with dogs on basic commands and how to administer medication. Finally, Ainsley is responsible and dependable - a great fit for pet care.”

“Jack did a fantastic job watching our two pups for a week. The communication was top notch; we received daily updates with lots of pics. Our pups were in good hands!”


“Patricia did an outstanding job for us when she pet-sat for our dog and cat! She was friendly, organized, caring, professional, and extremely capable. She also was unfazed by the many details we gave her about caring for our finicky pets, and she followed our instructions to the letter. While we were away, we felt 100% sure that Patricia was taking good care of our animals. We enjoyed receiving updates from her each day. When we returned, we found happy animals and an extremely tidy home. Patricia went above and beyond to do her job with excellence, and we will be delighted to hire her again in the future.”
