Top rated Sterling house sitters
“Karolina was a FANTASTIC cat sitter!!! We had an urgent request for a sitter and she truly saved the day!! She was incredibly responsive to any requests we had and was extra loving to our babies. She not only showered them with affection, she cleaned up their messes, and made sure they were well fed while she stayed in our home. Karolina also left our home as neat as she found it. I highly recommend booking Karolina and we will most certainly use her services again! Moreover, our cats were happy and relaxed when we got home which is their way of giving her a five paw review!! ☺️”
“Donna was great to work with. She replied quickly to our request for a catsitter, communicated well, was flexible when we asked if she could add more hours, sent photos of our cat, responded right away to our texts/call and left our house just as she found it. Highly recommend.”
“Great communication and easy to work through details of the stay. Ron is a super kind person who will take great care of your pets! Don’t hesitate to book him to hang out with your pups!”
“Wow! Roxanne was terrific with my "particular princess" dog. She was on time, great with communication, extremely helpful and flexible (we were packing up things to go set up a party and she helped load, find things, keep the pup out of the way and tolerated all the ins and outs of people during the day). I had updates and pictures, which I love. Roxanne is a keeper! Much gratitude for making our day wonderful.”
“Rachel is fantastic. She took great care of our super sweet giant snuggle pup and our house. She was incredibly prompt in responding to all of our messages, checked in regularly and sent pictures. She went not an extra mile but extra miles to provide a great experience. Thank you for being awesome to Red Cloud and to us Rachel!”
“Kaitlyn was wonderful! Her communication was great and our sweet Zesty boy had a fun time with her. We appreciated all of the photo and video updates we received throughout our trip. We would have Kaitlyn back to watch our home and our pup again in a heartbeat:)”
“I was a little anxious leaving my dog for the first time. Especially with someone we didn’t know but Morgan was very patient with me. Explained the process and was willing to come by for a meet and greet before we booked and sent me pictures while I was away.”
“I came home and it’s like I never left! My old dog and cat were happy and comfortable, they had a great time with Grace! She was great at communication and sent me pics and video, I knew my pets were in good hands. I would 100% hire Grace again and recommend her to others!”
“It's always tough with a new sitter but Ari took great care of them. The best part was we came back to healthy and calm dogs, the house looked good, the tomato plants and fish alive!! She was an excellent active listener, had lots of experience and was above all loving to the dogs and sending us communication regularly. Thanks so much Ari!!”
About: I love animals, I recently find myself without a K9 companion and figured I could share my time and love with those who need it. My dad is a vet and I also work at the clinic he owns so they’ll be in good hands. I love spending time outdoors or just relaxing and giving all the pets I work Monday through Thursday 7:30-5:30 at the vet clinic. I’m free after work for walks and I’m fine with doing stuff on the weekend that gets me out of the house I have 2 cats at home that are mine but I’ve had many dogs in my life. Before I moved to Washington I had a German Shepard that got lots of exercise and homemade food. I currently live with my parents and they have 7 dogs that range in size from a shitzu to 2 Anatolian shepards so I can handle any size of dog
About: I have 2 dogs of my own. Very flexible schedule. Grew up with dogs all of my life. I've cared for a variety of dogs.. from chihuahuas to Rottweilers. And any age. My dogs are very friendly, and could join for dog walks to make fur friends. I would love to help out with your pup, since we all have busy lives, and don't want them cooped up all day. I hope I can help out. I can do overnights, just would prefer dog walking and checking In. But we can discuss overnight stays if I work with you and your pup for a good amount of time. I can do drop bys frequently, since I have a flexible schedule. Thank you, and have a good day!
“Karla was amazing with our 5 month old puppy. She stayed in our home and left it immaculate! We appreciated her love and care for our new puppy (we had lost our 12 year golden just a few days before our trip). She made sure our puppy got lots of love and attention. We will absolutely use Karla again.”
“Danielle did a wonderful job sitting my three pups and house. We have a senior guy, a spunky rescue, and big puppy and Danielle handled it all so well! Our house was clean and all was in order when we got there. Great communication- would recommend her to others! Thanks, Danielle.”
About: Anytime I watch an animal I do my best to keep them in there normal routine. This is especially important with young and senior animals. I have a senior pup and while he’s flexible with me, I understand the stress it can cause animals to be away from there family and out of the daily routine. I work full time caring for aquatic animals and when I come home I care for the furry kind! I have been house and dog/cat sitting for many years for co workers, friends, and my volunteers who I work with. I have always loved animals and care for yours like they are my own. I walk my dog first thing when I get home to get us both out of the house and enjoy exploring the outdoors. I have an unfenced yard but the animals never go out in supervised. I have 20ft leashes that easily reach the grass and farther for those who tend to wander.
About: I have had my lab mix since i was 16 years old potty trained and leashed trained him! In highschool i took a vet course and got to learn about healthy diets and grooming for dogs!! I currently work 4 days a week and need some extra cash to get me through school i have three days off a week and get off early two of my work days! I love to give my dogs lots of outside time playing fetch sun bathing or walks!! I always love to get fun toys or treats for my dogs!
About: I have had the pleasure and opportunity to be an adoptive mom to 5 schnauzers over the past 28 years. I love dogs and treat them as a beloved family member. I currently am not working and will be able to give my full attention to your pet while he/she is staying in my home. This includes playtime, cuddling, mealtime and walks. Your pet will be loved and taken care of as if they are at home. I have a fenced in yard in a beautiful neighborhood. In addition, I have 2 toy schnauzers that will keep your fur baby company. They love to play and cuddle but also know when to leave elderly dogs be.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and currently am a professional dog whelper for several breeders, can administer medications, can watch puppies or Pregnant females as well. Currently work from home so I’m available anytime after 10 am can do earlier just need to be advised in advance and can also watch weekends if planned in advanced. My routine varies depending on how many pups we watch 🙂 We have fenced off an area for our dogs, and will have supervised outside play time. We also have private Trails we can go for hikes.
