House Sitting Retreat At Firewheel

“I was so impressed with Amalia's attention to detail and compassion for my baby, Fitty (my cat-son). Amalia made me feel so comfortable so I could really enjoy myself away. Thanks so much Amalia, you did a great job and I will be hiring you again!”

“Jessica is great! She’s very patient with senior and, at times, anxious dogs. Our three are usually very standoffish with new people since they are older, but Jessica helped them feel safe with her. Thank you!”

“Ella stayed with our 2 dogs in our home for a few nights and did a wonderful job from start to finish. She communicated very professionally before, during, and after the stay. She provided daily and detailed updates with pictures. One of our dogs generally shows signs of anxiety after we get home from a trip, but that hasn't been the case this time. Ella made sure that when she did leave the house during her stay, it wasn't for more than 8 hours per our request to ensure the dogs had their necessary bathroom breaks. It's very clear that Ella takes good care of the pets she is watching, as if they are her own. We will absolutely be booking with Ella again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone else considering her.”

“London was great! She was extremely responsive, respectful and flexible. She took great care of Dogman, sent picture updates and made sure we stayed informed. I would definitely book with her again!”

About: I've walked and taken care of dogs for my neighbors since I was 12, including senior dogs with special medication and care needs. I am comfortable with homes with multiple pets and pets of all sizes. I have a dog myself and am familiar with dog care. I also have experience in taking care of cats. My summer is mostly open, although I will be on vacation in August. For the time that I will be taking bookings, I will be available for your pets at any time as I do not currently have any other obligations, though I do hope to start working part-time in addition. I care for pets by ensuring that any of their needs are met, including emotional needs which I provide by ensuring they feel comfortable and keeping them company. I am great at playing with animals and completely open to specific care instructions for things like feeding, medication, or walking.

“Caroline has great communication and provides excellent care for our pup. My mind is always at ease when we’re out of town and she watches our dog. We will continue to rebook with her in the future!!”

About: I have taken care of different types of dogs through out the past years. Small and large. Energetic and calm. Old and young. I’ve watch over Schnauzers, Australia Shepherds, French Bulldogs, Shiba Inu, Doberman and many mixes.. Needless to say I’m willing to watch any dog! I can also say there has never been any accidents that have occurred to a dog under my watch. I do not like having animals caged up for long so they will be free to roam when under my supervision. Furthermore, I love the outdoors so the doggos will have a nice pleasant walk with me visiting all the nearby parks when able. I also love cats so all of this applies to them as well. =) *Hablo Español* *Price is negotiable for stays longer than 14 days* I am a full time IT employee. Although during the week I will be out for 8-9 hours I do live close enough that I can drive to my apartment and give the dogs a potty break during my lunch break. I also have cameras at home so I will still be keeping an eye on them while I'm out! I am quite active so the dogs will always get plenty of exercise. If they can keep up that is. If you know your dog cannot be left alone without causing chaos I would appreciate if you bring their crate. **Please give me at least 1 week in advance for appointments. Although my schedule is often up to date. I too take vacations and have to go out of town on emergencies. Last minute request will be considered but likeliness is low. I am a true animal lover so I will put the pets wellbeing first. I do not plan on leaving animals in a crate for longer than a couple hours if necessary. I am an active person so long walks will be something the dogs will get. Unless they cannot keep up. I really like playing rope and catch with dogs so they will get plenty of play time. =)

“I would highly, highly recommend Kristie! She did such an amazing job with our dog Josie, who had just lost her sister a few days before we went away. Kristie made sure that Josie was comforted and had all the extra love and care so she didn't feel lonely. We also received daily pictures and updates so we knew Josie was well taken care of. Having lost a dog before we left, we were uneasy about leaving Josie behind. But Kristie made us feel 100% like Josie was in the best hands and we knew she genuinely cared for her like she was her own. That was very meaningful to us. And, when we returned home, Kristie left a very thoughtful gift for us, which was a plant in memory of the dog we had just lost. I can't say how much that meant to us. Again, highly, highly recommend Kristie!”

“Lacey took such great care of our family pet. Raffi warmed up to her very quickly.”

“Awesome experience..Happy dog! Kyle stayed at our house for extended weekend with our Hazel and her disposition was so much better than when she is boarded while we are gone. Kyle went above and beyond on also taking care of the house and communicating with us! I definitely would use him again!”

Patty K.

“This is my second time using Stephany as an in-house sitter. She always does a great job watching our dogs and providing ample communication! I hope to continue to use her in the future.”

Abby B.

“Acacia took such amazing care of our pets and our home while we were out of the country for 8 nights! She was consistent and reliable and we could not be more pleased. She was incredibly thoughtful and even went out of her way to replace our vase with fresh flowers!! 🌼 100% recommend!!!”

About: I grew up with dogs and have had roommates with cats. I have a dog of my own registered as my ESA. You can rely on me to do the basics for your pet, and go above and beyond showing them love. And I work from home so I can be flexible on when I can check on your fur babies. I am available to check in on your pets for 3 visits a day most days, even weekends, as I work from home. I can be flexible. For house sitting, I can be there all dy but please note I would have to bring my dog aling (he is spayed and house trained). I treat my dog with all the love in the world. I can discipline when needed, but always with the intent of doing what is best for the pet. I went through over 6 months of dog training so also have some tips and tricks I can try.

“Haven was awesome and very responsive. I had a super last minute engagement and she was quick to help. Highly recommend.”

Jonah H.

“Cadence was a great pet/house sitter for us and our two dogs! She was quick to respond and communicated well when we were away. We are already planning to have her help out during our future trips! We highly recommend her to anyone searching for a responsible and reliable sitter!”

Lindsay G.

“Jill was SO STELLAR! My dogs are a HANDFUL, and she completely unphased, calm, and kind with my dogs. She sent me pics and updates while I was gone and was so reassuring. I feel like I have a new lease on my life knowing I can leave my dogs in good hands.”

Rachael F.

“Sandhya was an amazing blessing to us in house sitting/dog sitting for our golden retriever. She was very professional, sweet with our dog and communicative while we were away with daily updates and photos. Even washed her own sheets/towels and vacuumed the room which was very courteous of her. :) We will definitely trust her again with our dog when we're away!”

Rachael F.

“Marta and Marshall make a wonderful team. Our dog loves them and they are so responsive. While we were gone they went above and beyond to keep our home safe during a terrible cold snap. We will definitely ask Marta and Marshall to house sit in the future!”

Sonjia C.

“Genevieve did a great job dog sitting my two standard poodles the week I was out of town. She was responsive, sent picture updates throughout my time away. I was happy with how active with walks, trails, parks she kept up with them! Would definitely book with her again.”

Maryanne Y.

“Zoila house sat our two dogs and two cats on Christmas weekend. She was prompt, a good communicator, sent pictures, and was upfront about her work schedule. When we came back our pets were well cared for and happy. We look forward to booking her again.”
