House Sitting in Talent

“Sarah did an amazing job with a last minute booking. She took on 3 working dogs, one of whom has heart issues, medications, and special feeding instructions. She and I stayed in communication the whole time and it went off without a hitch…on my end anyways. Sarah was willing to come back in case of any travel issues which I greatly appreciated. Will definitely use her again as I came home to 3 happy dogs!”

“Alyson was great with our two beagles. She was responsive to any texts or calls before and during stay. She even had to contend with a power outage and didn’t complain. She left our house in good order almost better ? We won’t hesitate to use her again and we can travel with piece of mind”

“Emma watched my Pug for two days and an overnight. Emma did a super job. She followed all feeding and care instructions. She also sent me pictures of Punky (my Pug) throughout the time I was away from home. I hope to be able to book Emma to be with Punky again when I have to be away.”

“This was our first time using Rover so we were a bit apprehensive. Veronica was great. She watched our dog today so we could do a 1/2 day rafting trip. She was punctual and took him for a few walks. It worked out perfectly.”

“Beyond grateful to have found Sarah! She took on my anxious little pup with zero issues and was great with providing updates. Such a relief to know my girl and house were in excellent hands while we were away!”

“Chelsey does a great job with my Big Girl, who is sometimes wary of strangers. I come home to an orderly house and a happy dog. I recommend her unconditionally!”

“Allea did an awesome job taking care of my animals! She did pet sitting and overnight at my place and was soo tidy you would never know she was here! She sent regular updates and pictures and clearly gave them a lot of care and affection. Will 100% book her again!”

“Great pet sitting service. This was the first time I left my pup with a pet sitter that he didn't already know (aka a friend). But he did great! Stephen was super kind and met with me prior to the date even though it was last minute. His wife was also super nice!! Their house is nice, clean and sway from the main street which is always a plus. My drop off and pick up hours were all over the place and he was very accommodating and open to all the last minute changes. I'm happy I went with Stephen, especially since he seems like a total dog/animal person. When I dropped my pup off he even got on the ground with him and chased him lol That was sweet to see. I know my fur baby must've had a great time! He even sent me pictures during their walk. I'll definitely go with Stephen again in the future! Thxx again!!”

“Sabra is such a wonderful caregiver to my little four legged family members! She has watched my dog during the day when I'm at work or events and she has taken care of my two kittens when I'm out of town. She spends ample time with them and tends to their needs really well. I am so grateful to be able to count on her to take care of my babies!”

“Everything went well. My cat in her senior years has chosen not to engage with sitters. Sequoyah knew that going in. I agree though with her assessment that give it a couple of more times and my girl could warm up to her. I hope Sequoyah is available the next time we need a sitter.”

“Emma has done house and dog sitting for my two dogs on several occasions. She is trustworthy and reliable and my dogs love her. She obviously cares about animals and makes an effort to walk them often and properly feed them (they have separate dietary needs). Once we've set up an appointment, I can count on Emma and my dogs are happy to see her.”

“Abby is a VERY Nice Lady ! She is personable , easy to communicate with and “Fritz” my German Shepard wild 7 month old pup and my two kitties adored her !!!!!! At first I was worried to leave someone I didn’t know at my house alone - after meeting her , I had complete trust in her. Abby is a smart educated Lady and animals instantly bond to her . We will definitely hire her again to watch our animals and our house ! Only problem is - the animals are sad now that she left ! My German Shepard who is allowed to come inside ( but romps around and chases cats ) even stayed inside with her being calm cool and collected !!!! He never will do that for me !! We thank you Miss Abby and look forward to seeing you again soon !”

“Izzie stayed in our home with our two small dogs while we were on vacation. She was responsive to messages when we checked in. Sulley and Sailor appeared to appreciate her daily company as they did not seem stressed when we got home. Izzie also watered a few outdoor potted plants for us since the weather was warm. Overall she was responsible and communicative and the house was in good order when we returned. I've rebooked Izzie for another trip next month.”

“Ali house sat our dog, Joey, for a long weekend and was amazing. He even came early on the day that we left to spend some extra time with him. Our dog can be a bit quirky on walks, and Ali was great with him - taking him on hikes in Debs Park. We are grateful to have found Ali and hope to have him again soon!”

“We are very happy with Elva’s attentiveness to our 3 cats and 1 large goofy, sleepy, Ridgeback dog. Elva is a quiet person and has a calm energy that people and pets alike can feel comfortable and confident with. We look forward to booking with Elva again and taking another short getaway from the “kids”.”

“Jake has done a great job for me when I was in a bind with some family health issues and I needed help with my dog. He has gone above and beyond, Great communication, I know the dog is in great hands. Could not recommend him more.”

“Karyn is a remarkable caregiver for all furry friends! She is so loving and playful with all animals, making them feel comfortable instantly. Karyn is a spectacular dog walker and has the best lap for cuddles while you are away on your trip! Your pet will not only be safe while you are away, but exercised and surrounded by love until you return.”

“David is great with animals! He’s taken care of my cats a number of times and is super reliable and thoughtful. When I get home, it’s like they didn’t miss me at all!”

“She is very knowledgeable about dog body language. She knows what the dog needs and acts on them. I love how she is genuinely interested to know my fur baby and I trust she does the same to others too.”
