Top rated Star house sitters
“Jayson helped us out last minute and I couldn’t be more appreciative. We were on vacation and he came to our camper and watched our dog for us while we were gone most of the day. Communication was great as well.”
“Ryan gets an A+. All the things you want in a sitter - on time, courteous, friendly without fawning, great listener - an all-in-all excellent experience. We rescued our two a few months ago, and this was their first experience of being without at least one of us [reallly sensitive after a BAD previous adoption]; it couldn't have gone better. Although somewhat leery of strangers, they wormed up to Ryan within 5 minutes. He was understanding and caring with them, and our worries disappeared. We will have him again (if we ever leave the house!).”
