Top rated Summit Lake house sitters
“Lori was fantastic! We felt good leaving our 3 large dogs with her for a weekend in our home. She kept us updated and informed on their eating, potty, and medication schedule. We also came home to a clean house and the sheets where she slept were already washed. We absolutely recommend Lori!!”
“We cannot put into words how grateful we are for Kaitlyn and her kind heart. While we were away our Oscar took a turn for the worst and Kaitlyn graciously took on the burden of taking him in to be evaluated. She stayed in constant communication with us and when we were told there was nothing else to be done, she face timed with us and allowed us to say our goodbyes. We could never thank her enough for what she did for us. We hope to have her watch our other two in the future.”
“Konnie was amazing! Our pup Ziggy loved her so much, she was fantastic with communication, and she took such good care of our baby and our home while we were away. We will definitely book with Konnie again!”
“Olivia was great with my 3 dogs. She spent a lot of time loving on them and playing with them. I don’t trust many people with my senior dog because of her age and illnesses, but Olivia was great with her. Will definitely be booking her again!”
About: I have been taking care of my own babies for 10+ years! I’ve also stayed for a week at a time taking care of family/friends fur babies I’m currently working part time and from home so I’m always available! From short walks to long stays! Even just popping in for a potty break My fur babies get the royal treatment! I will provide the same for yours! From belly rubs to playing catch. And all the cuddles needed!
“Took great care of my cat (Coco) and turtle (Myrtle). Even went to extra efforts to make sure Coco got her meds in a timely manner. I'll be hiring Nathan again in the near future!”
“Scott and Samantha are our go to sitters for our Italian Greyhound, Quincy! We have used them multiple times, and always come home to a clean house and a very happy dog. Quincy has pretty bad separation anxiety, but Scott and Samantha give him extra attention, care, and snuggles. We highly recommend them to help with any of your pets’ needs!”
“Monica did a great job with our seven month old Great Dane. She cared for her while we were out of town for the week. We got regular updates, she remained in contact throughout the week, and provided great one on one time with our puppy.”
“Seth did a wonderful job taking care of our pets at our house while we were gone for one week. He communicated daily and sent pictures. He responded quickly to any questions and left the house in great shape! I highly recommend him!”
“Kayla was great she is very sweet and attentive with our Steeley we will definitely use her again she sent pictures and walked and played with our lab she is a very sweet young lady”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life growing up, I know how important they are to us and it can be very stressful to find the right, safe situation for them when we want to travel and live our lives. I am very used to caring for things compassionately as I have been a registered nurse for 6 years now. I currently am in EMT school two nights a week and transitioning from full time ICU bedside nursing to pediatric home care nursing part time while in school through the fall. I have an empty spare room for boarding, and wood floors that can handle any accidents that may arise without worry, I can also very easily keep my own cat separate from those who do not wish to socialize.
“Holly was great with our Beagle. She communicated and sent pictures. She asked questions which I appreciated. She stayed at our home and took great care of everything. Harley seemed happy and relaxed when we returned. I would highly recommend Holly.”
“Michelle watched our babies during our wedding weekend! She was amazing and we were able to relax and really enjoy our wedding without worrying about our babies. We also have a dog with reactive issues and she was great with her. We highly recommend Michelle and our dogs love her!”
“Tyler stayed at our house with our two dogs. He was easy to communicate with about scheduling and always responded quickly about how things were going while we were away.”
“Lillian was fantastic! She came over twice before booking, at my request, to get familiar with my 2 dogs. We had an unexpected illness in my dog and she was able to give him his medication while we were on vacation. We came home last night to 2 happy dogs, house in order, and pee pads washed!”
