House Sitting in Strafford

“A dream team! Great house sitters, communicators, and Kai and Devon were so patient with our shy, nervous rescue. Our dog had a traumatic previous life, so their understanding that building a relationship with our Fern is a long game is a breath of fresh air. Other folks tend to want Fern to love them right away and can be pushy or sad that she doesn’t show love, but Kai and Devon’s experience with nervous dogs is evident. Their patience affirms our Fern is always in good hands.”

“Amanda did a great job with Bella and was professional throughout the experience! I found Bella and my home well taken care of and would recommend Amanda or have her sit Bella again.”

“Ray is awesome. Second time she sat for us. Will continue to try to get her to watch Chloe for as long as she lets us. I do not worry as much about my phone when Ray is around. I know she is in good hands, Absolutely wonderful!”

“Alex is the best! We truly appreciated the photos and updates and felt very secure with Alex’s confident and caring approach. Our home was left in pristine condition and our dogs were content and relaxed! Highly recommend Alex, especially if you have dogs who can be a little slow to warm up to new people.”

“Roxanne is so sweet & so fabulous with our Gracie. We are traveling so much this summer and she takes away our anxiety when we have to leave Gracie behind. Roxanne is super reliable and updates us throughout her stay. We are so grateful for her!”

“We booked Tim for a 12-day stay... we asked for Tim to dog and house sit for our international travel plans. We had never left the dogs alone and the puppy is a high energy, high anxiety that destroys everything she can get her paws on, we were anxious ourselves leaving her for such a long time, After meeting Tim, it was like reconnecting with a long lost friend. He was amazing with our dogs and followed our instructions to the tee. Tim went above and beyond in caring for our fur babies and showing them the same love we would if we were home. I secretly think our dogs liked Tim more than us LOL :) Tim is very respectful and reliable, and we communicated on a daily basis. HE also sent very creative videos and pictures of our dogs. I will be using him again and recommend you do as well!”

“Angela was outstanding. We are slightly overbearing pet parents but Angela followed everything we outlined and regularly gave us updates and sent photos. It gave us peace of mind while we were aware that our son was being taken care of. Highly recommend her and will definitely be reaching out for our next trip!”

“Kathy was great at keeping us informed and sending pictures while we were away. It helped ease my mind to see our dog was happy and doing well in our absence. This was the first time we had a sitter come and stay in our home while we were away. It worked out great and would do it again.”

“Wonderful, patient, conscientious and caring! Monica took great care of our pups, quickly learning their idiosyncrasies and taking the time to bond with them. She also left our home in immaculate condition. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been fostering cats for three years and have cared for dogs, cats, birds, rodents, and fish since I was seven. I also volunteer at a cat shelter and have pet-sat casually. I’m experienced with animals of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. I’m always ready to help! I work 6 hours a week as a Krav Maga instructor so I have lots of free time. I am a high school student graduate, going to west Chester university. We have a fenced yard and tons of space for play. Plenty of beds and toys. Pets will be loved, attended, and cared for properly no matter what!

“Kristen was came over to meet my dog and learn his quirks. He’s a big dog and she was very sweet with him. I was nervous leaving him for the first time and then I received a picture from Kristen and it eased my mind immediately. I would definitely ask her back!”

About: When i was you we had always had family dogs starting before i was born. I grew up along many dogs i would call family. While growing up with these dogs i learned to care for them while they were young as-well as care for them when they grew old. I am familiar with the happy days of introducing a new family member and playing with a new puppy to the mournful days of saying goodbye to a great friend. Beyond caring for my own pets i have cared for elderly beagles who seemingly appear on counters to get food i had left out to playing tug of war with the nicest Rottweiler I can handle it. I am a student home for the summer and this is currently my main form of income so you pet is my number one focus I have a fenced in yard and 2 human and dog friendly golden retrievers our yard is large and is partially wooded. I live in a dead end neighborhood that circles a lake that i often walk my own dogs around and let them swim. There is a small stream in the backyard that my own dogs often lie in to cool off.

“Joanna is a Godsend! We have booked with her for multiple walks as well as a week-long period of overnight stays while we were out of town, and she is absolutely wonderful. She took such great care of our pug, Tootsie, and I had complete peace of mind while we were away. She was very attentive to Tootsie’s routine, feeding and exercise needs, and she was great about sending regular updates, photos and videos. Her dog, Henry, who accompanied her on the overnight stays, was SO sweet and cute, and he got along great with our dog as well. In addition to being a 5-star pet sitter, Joanna is just a sweet, wonderful person in general and extremely accomplished as well, so she’s just a joy to know and so interesting to talk to! Highly recommend and we would request her services 100 times over :o)”

“Melanie was a huge help. Having a dog with anxiety it’s hard to know who should care for Blaze. Melanie gave her outside time, treats and rubs and we came home to a very happy dog! ( a first!). It was so nice knowing our pup was well cared for . Melanie communicated well, was on time, answered any questions I had as a new dog parent and understood our dog’s needs. Thank you Melanie! We would love to have her over again.”

“Kathleen went above and beyond with our sweet little shy guy, Carl. It was our very first time leaving him for an extended period of time and we were worried as to how he would adjust but she took it slowly with him and allowed him to warm up to her and in no time he did!! I appreciated all the cute pics she sent while we were away as I was missing him dearly. He snuggled right up to her so I knew that must be a testament to how good she is with pups. We will be using Kathleen again- Carl misses her already.”

“We’ve been searching for years for a reliable dogsitter and house sitter and we are so thankful that we found Marisa this year! She has stayed with our dogs several times this year and it makes traveling so much easier and less stressful knowing that she is at our home taking such great care of our pups! We love getting her daily updates and pictures and our dogs always look so happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. Marisa is truly incredible with our dogs — she makes our anxious dog feel comfortable and has such a calming energy that she’s even able to get her out of her comfort zone. She also takes such amazing care of our senior pup, gives him his meds, and makes sure to give him plenty of attention and love. And without even asking her to do this, she leaves our home spotless, sometimes I think it’s even cleaner than how we left it! Marisa is truly the greatest and we are beyond grateful to have found her! We’ll continue to use Marisa anytime we go out of town!”

About: Hi, I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 13 years old. I have two dogs at home and I am an experienced sitter and I can’t wait to take care of your fur baby’s. I’m correctly working full time at this moment. I am more than happy to work with your schedule. I can’t wait to take care of your fur baby’s. I take safety, trust and responsibility very seriously. I do have a fenced in backyard, but I will be not working at my location due to my dogs.

“Keira did an amazing job watching my fur babies for the day and kept us updated throughout! She followed all the instructions and kept the pups on their usual schedule, so they didn’t miss a beat! It was so nice coming home to find them in such a good mood and not stressed out like the kennel makes them. She was super flexible with her schedule for the day and great to work with! This girl is the best- I’ll be sure to reach out to her again the next time we need a sitter!”
