House Sitting in Surfside

“From the first time my dog and I met Cassandra, I knew he’d be in good hands immediately and she proved that today. She house sat for me and took care of Riley and when she arrived, was very attentive to the care he required and that made me feel at ease entrusting him to her while I was away. She will definitely be my go to sitter moving forward and should be yours too!!”

“I was nervous to leave my senior pup (my baby) Cooper for the weekend since he is prone to anxiety and tends to have a hard time with change, but Nicholas really put me at ease! He took my doggo on walks, played with him, and sent me a ton of pics and videos which I loved! It was so reassuring to see how happy Cooper was in the videos and pics he sent! His eyes tend to be red when he’s super anxious. I breathed a sigh of relief and was so happy to see that his eyes were so white in everything that was sent! The experience with Nicholas took so much stress off of me, and I was able to enjoy my vacation so much more than I would have been able to otherwise! I had a great experience with Nicholas from the meet and greet through the end of the house sitting, and he was super flexible when I didn’t know the exact times I would be gone and get home until right before. I am leaving again the next week and am not hesitating to book Nicholas again! I highly recommend him, he’s wonderful!”

“Brit was so great with our nervous rescue dog! He’s very wary of people and always barks at them, yet he didn’t make a peep upon meeting Brit. My husband and I were both shocked. Brit seems to have a super calming presence and made us feel confident while we were gone. She listened to instructions and asked thoughtful questions. She sent updates while we were gone with photos, which eased our minds. Our place was just as we left it, and our pup was content. We will definitely book her again in the future.”

“Ellie is caring, responsible, smart and reliable. She took excellent care of my dog and sent daily updates while we were away for a week. I highly recommend Ellie and I hope to book her again the next time we go away.”

“I have known Jessica for over 25 yrs and she has always had pets. She is great animals. She has helped me with my Huskies multiple times when I had to go out of town. They always love it when she comes over for a visit.”

“Shelli was wonderful with my pup!! I am very particular who walks & babysits my sweet boy but Shelli was friendly & kind and Bosco immediately liked her! Highly recommend her, she is great”

“Another great sit from Kayana. She kept us informed about how the night was going and made us feel so comfortable that our dog was being well taken care of. Can't recommend her highly enough.”

“This was my first experience with a dog sitter and I’m so happy that I trusted my instincts when I read her profile, read her reviews, and saw her smiling profile pic. Denise did a wonderful job caring for my pups who have some special needs. She ensured she understood all the special instructions and put my mind at ease. She always checked in, sent photos, and had such a cheerful disposition. I’m so glad I found her. I now feel like I have more freedom because I know I can trust my very precious girls with her.”

“Ashley is the BEST! She has done a wonderful job babysitting our two mischievous pugs, Jughead and Jellybean, and has been available at a moment's notice when we were in a pinch. Her genuine love for animals shines through when she watches our pups, who absolutely love her. She sends regular updates and pics to keep us in the loop about what our babies are up to. When we had to leave town unexpectedly, Ashley stayed at our house to care for all our animals and was very respectful and kept the house clean and tidy while we were gone, and wasn't afraid to ask questions to make sure that every animal had whatever they needed. I couldn't recommend her enough. She's a fabulous person and a great dogsitter. You can't go wrong with Auntie Ash watching your little friends!”

“Deena is an amazing pet sitter! She was super empathetic to my dog's needs and preferences, took such good care of her, and even left an adorable framed photo of my pup that she took. My girl had the biggest smile in all the photos she sent and I felt so relaxed knowing she was in such loving and attentive care. I would definitely recommend Deena to friends and would book again!”

“I have known Savannah for many years. She is an amazing young woman who is organized, neat, trustworthy and very responsible. In the past she has taken care of our dog on a number of occasions, and over time I have seen her interact with him and I can see that she is firm, yet also loving. Savannah is not only good with dogs, but also with people. She is focused and a good communicator. When Savannah has our dog is not afraid to ask us questions, a real plus in my book!”

“Arlene was very professional and polite and accommodating to any question or last minute request we had. She made sure we were updated on our puppy, from morning walk to evening walk and bed time routine. She made sure to carefully listen routine we have with our dog, feeding schedule, potty break, walks and any training or play schedule we have and followed it. She was also very mindful of our home and made sure to take care of it as its own and we couldn’t be more satisfy with both her commitment to well being and safety of our furry child as well as of our property. We will definitely be booking fire walks and house sitting with Arlene.”

“The best word to describe Collin as a sitter is WONDERFUL! I contacted him with very short notice and he answered me immediately saving the day! My doggies felt comfortable with him in few minutes and he took excellent care of them. Highly recommended.”

“I’ve known Valerie for over 30 years. She has always had animals and treats them exceptionally well. She is a dedicated pet parent. She has walked my dogs on numerous times and spoils them with lots of undivided attention. If I ever needed someone to watch my dogs over night or for a few days, I definitely would trust Valerie completely. I highly recommend Valerie as a pet sitter.”

“Emily was absolutely amazing with Furby! She was kind, patient and attentive to his needs during our 5 night stay for in-house sitting. We especially appreciated her sending us text updates and pictures throughout the stay. Emily was very responsive, kept to Furby’s schedule, and we can tell that Furby really enjoyed his time with her! Finally, we felt good about having Emily taking care of the house and would absolutely recommend her for walks and overnights to anyone!”

“Todd was great watching my senior finicky Russell Terrier. He seemed to really understand her and she enjoyed her days with him. He has a great sense of humor and really has a blast with dogs and all animals. I’ve seen him dog sit four large dogs and two cats at the same time with ease! He’s very careful was special instructions too. I highly recommend him to care for your pup or kitty and I only wish he lived closer.”

“Jess is awesome!!!! Based on her extensive experience with animals and being a former Vet Tech, I knew instantly my dog was in excellent hands and I was right. Jess took great care of my Charlotte. She was super conscientious and cared for Charlotte as if she were her own. Also, she respected my home and when I came back everything was as I left it. Jess is a great sitter and care taker of animals! I highly recommend her!!!”

“From a very young age, Sara has had a fondness for all types of animals and has cared for not only her own animals such as dogs, cats, rats, mice, reptiles, fish, but has also cared for many family and friends’ animals. Sara has always been dependable, responsible and extremely conscientious, demonstrating a natural affinity, empathy, and patience towards all animals. Any animal entrusted to her care will be loved, safe, and in great hands!”

“Shannon B. Is the best! She’s been walking my two labs for several years. My dogs are my babies and to find someone I trust coming into my home and taking care of my dogs… is everything. I would recommend Shannon to anyone, she’s a kindhearted gem.”
