House Sitting in Vineyard Haven

“Ashley was amazing. Updates daily about our Dog and Cat. When we got home house was clean and everything was as we left it. We will use her again.”

“Lauren is such a delightful young woman. Our pups took to her really quickly (not necessarily the norm). She house/pup sat for 11 days, left the house clean, and pups were the least stressed out from us being gone, that I've ever seen. She provided just the right amount of communication and pictures for us. Will definitely be asking her again.”

“Rachael was GREAT! I have a young shepard mix who requires a lot of attention since he has a bunch of energy and she made sure to run him everyday while I was away. She sent pictures each day which gave me peace of mind while I was out of town. Highly recommend!! Thanks again Rachael!”

“David was gray with my dog Ginger. Ginger is a border Jack with lots of energy. Dave brought Ginger on lots of walks and provided a nurturing environment. Dave is patient and has the stamina to keep up with active dogs. The experience with Dave was top notch!”

“I am writing this to tell you how pleased I am with Christopher as a dog walker and future dog/house sitter for me. Christopher is right on time for walking my dog and Stormy has become fond of him very quickly. Carolyn D”

“Alex has cared for our dog Wes for the last 10 years. During this time Alex has been extremely dependable, trustworthy and provided daily updates on Wes behavior during his visits. We never worried and during extended vacations as Alex moved and stay in our home. Wes lights up whenever Alex comes into view. We trust him completely and are grateful for the loving care he provides.”

“Ashlee did 8 overnights for us while we were traveling. She was phenomenal. She was so wonderful with our one year old dog- she was communicative, and kept me updated as to how our dog was the entire time we were traveling. She went above and beyond with getting our mail, and even tidying up before we got home. She is the best of the best and we will use her every chance we can! Thank you Ashlee!”

“Daniel did a wonderful job house sitting for our rescue pup. She felt immediately comfortable with him and they had a blast. We would be lucky to have Daniel take care of her again!”

“I don't know what to say about Hannah than she is fantastic! She started out doing periodic walks for our dog who we could tell just adored her. At one point we had to head out of town for two days and we had Hannah stay over and petsit for those 2 nights and Hannah was terrific, giving us regular facetime and text updates and sending lots of photos. We'll definitely use Hanna again next time we need to take some time away and want to leave the dog behind where he is most comfortable.”

“I have known Marena for a few years now and she is hands down the most knowledgeable person I have ever met when it comes to all things dog. Marena adores dogs and will do absolutely anything she has to do to help them. I would trust Marena with my two dogs anyway!”

About: I am that person who will walk into a party and say hello to the dog before the person... I have been around and working with dogs my entire life. I am patient with all breeds, sizes, and dogs with different levels of training and have been dog walking/dog sitting since I was a kid. I own a 9yr old boxer mix named Finn; I have done all of his training myself and I also help my friends with their dogs! I love to learn about and watch dog behaviors, which I believe allows me to walk, play, and interact with all dogs better! I would very much like to meet you and your dog and help you out in any way that I can. I work part time so I am available at various times to come walk you dog or give them a drop in visit. I have also had my dog, Finn, his entire life, so dog things are pretty routine to me. I always take care to hold leashes in a way that I won’t drop them and they won’t be pulled out of my hands. I don’t let other dogs greet who I’m walking, you never know how the other persons dog will act.

“I have known Alison for a long time and she has always been willing to help take care of our dogs for us. She's our first go-to when our family goes on vacation to stay with them and take them out, which it is difficult for us to find someone we trust to do so since both of our dogs have behavior issues being that they're both rescues. One dog with sever anxiety issues and another who grew up unsocialized and can have aggressive tendencies. She's never hesitated to step in during either of their episodes and has even offered helpful advice.”

“Very kind and flexible. Accommodated our scheduling needs and the dog’s quirks.”
