House Sitting The Colony

“Our boys are always so happy and relaxed with Chelsea & Richard. The updates we get with happy, snuggling pups is proof of that, and we just love knowing we can go away and have fun, and our boys will also be having a great time!”

“Tritia was hands down the best cat sitter we’ve ever hired. She took amazing care of our two cats and treated them like they were her own. She was reliable, attentive, and communicated so well the entire time we were away. She gave consistent updates, made sure they were fed, comfortable, and happy, and we could tell she genuinely cared about them — not just doing the job. Our cats can be picky with new people, but they warmed up to her quickly, which says everything. We came home to two calm, well-cared-for cats and a home that was left in great shape. We felt completely at peace during our trip because of her. We will 100% be booking Tritia again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, top-tier cat sitter.”

“Jade was amazing. Our baby is a very fearful rescue and Jade came by a few days prior to her visit to get acquainted with Mandi. On the day of the sitting Jade was so patient and even though our little one started out hiding. She eventually was comfortable enough to come out and sit next to Jade. Jade sent many updates and pictures. As we walked Jade out to her car, Mandi followed her like a sheep follows her shepherd. I was so happy to find someone who a was patient with our a scared baby girl. We will definitely be using Jade’s services again. In fact, we already have her booked for another visit.”

“I can’t say enough about Gabby. She was amazing. So sweet and gentle with Enzo. Attentive to all his needs, from play to potty breaks to just mention a few. Kept in touch with us thru a long day with text, photos and videos. Enzo had a wonderful day with his new sitter. We will be definitely be using Gabby again.”

“Ashley was very communicative and sent me lots of updates of my puppy. She was also very flexible with the hours which made it very convenient.”

“Lena was an amazing caregiver for our two dogs while we were out of the country on vacation. She fully demonstrated all the attributes of an exceptional dog sitter— responsible, caring, conscientious, communicative, and nurturing. We would not hesitate to hire her again to watch our dogs and are deeply appreciative of her wonderful care of Remy and Tucker and for also looking after our home while we were gone. Lena is a true gem!”

Julie W.

“Stephanie was absolutely wonderful! She stayed in our home and took such great care of our dog Mookie and our house. From the moment we met her, we felt completely comfortable and knew Mookie was in good hands. She was responsible, communicative, respectful and sent lots of updates and photos. We would absolutely trust Stephanie with our home and dog again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”

Brittney B.

“Jacqueline is a very soft-spoken and kind lady who took care of our Nutella at our home for a little over two days. Our cat was very well cared for and we received multiple daily photos showing her activity, making us feel very comfortable about having left our cat in Jacqueline's care. She also took very good care of the home. We are very happy with the help Jacqueline gave us in caring for our cat when we were away and will easily consider her for the next time we have a similar need !”

“Adi was lovely! She showed up on time kept us updated throughout the stay and kept everything clean and orderly”

Kayla W.

“Ally did a great job taking care of my 7 dogs. Yes, 7!! She is very patient and kind to handle so many! My dogs need a lot of supervision or they will bark uncontrollably. She stayed at my home for the entire booking which i greatly appreciate! She is very communicative and I look forward to working with her again!”

Jackie E.

“Holly was the perfect house sitter for Lucy. She has a very calm and soft demeanor and Lucy was comfortable with her in no time at all. Holly was very attentive and responsive throughout the whole process and I was comfortable knowing I could reach her easily. I would definitely ask Holly to watch Lucy again and would highly recommend her to others looking for a trusted carer for their pets.”

Cheryl L.

“Emma is such a wonderful person you can put your trust to care of your furry baby. She constantly sent me updates and pictures of mi little monster. And she took my Freyja for many walkies. Freyja absolutely loved Emma!”

About: Hello, my name is Maira and I’m a life long animal lover. I’ve had all kinds of pets and cared for everything from turtles to fish, hamsters and birds, a rabbit, cats and dogs. Although I love all animals, Dogs are where my heart melts! I’ve taken care of friend’s dogs as well as helped friends and family basic train their small and large breed dogs. I have 10+ years of experience with dogs of all sizes and ages including my 90lb high energy Doberman which taught me a lot. If you remember one thing from my page I hope it’s this; I will take care of your furry babies as if they were my own. Monday through Friday I am available 6:30am - 6:30pm to care for your furry family. Saturdays and Sundays I am available 7:00am -7:00pm. If you need me outside of this time frame please let me know. During a drop in visit, I let your fur child out for a potty break and ensure they have plenty of water, food, and treats (if you okay the treats before hand) then hang out, play, and love on them for the remainder of the 30mins. During a walk booking, I will pick up your dog for a walk around the neighborhood. Which can be part structural and part sniffing to mentally stimulate and not just physically work out. The goal is a happy healthy pupper (and yes a 10 y/o is still a pupper) you will receive photos of our adventures and a message informing you how your baby’s walk went. Rain or Shine! Your Dog’s safety is my top priority. If it’s too hot or it is raining we will alter our walks with either a rain jacket or walking indoors at a near by pet friendly store. I am prepared with towels, plenty of water and a pet first aid kit should we ever need anything.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have 8 years of hands-on experience caring for my own pet. I also have repeat dog-sitting experience, including caring for the same dog for extended stays while his family travels. This has included multiple extended stays ranging from five days to two weeks, so I understand the responsibility that comes with being trusted with someone’s pet while they’re away. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles and following your pet’s individual routine and care instructions. I know every pet has their own personality, so whether yours loves constant attention or prefers a little space, I’ll take the time to make sure they feel safe, happy and comfortable! I’m reliable, attentive and respectful of both your pets and your home, and I’m always happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in good hands! 🐾 My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available for drop-in visits as well as overnight house sitting, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual feeding, playtime and care routine. I know how important consistency is for cats, so I’ll do my best to keep their days feeling as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away! I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own familiar environment, so I’ll always respect your home and follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. I’ll carefully follow any feeding, litter, playtime or other care instructions you provide, and make sure doors and windows are secure when coming and going. I’m respectful, clean and considerate of your space, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing both your pet and your home are being well cared for!

“Kat has always been great and my 14 yr old dog just loves her. My dog is still very active and loves her walks in Bellevue Park. I know she is getting lots of belly rubs and Kat makes sure she stays healthy while I am away on long trips.”

“We have a very active 60 lb. dog who requires a daily hike. Tina took Hazel out for an hour each day, and when it proved too hot in the afternoon she switched to mornings. She followed all of our requests and Hazel really liked Tina. She (Tina, not Hazel) left the house clean and tidy. We have already made arrangements to hire Tina again. We recommend her wholeheartedly.”
