Top rated Wakefield house sitters
“Melissa was great. She was very polite and easy to talk to. She took time with our cat and dog and kept them busy. She gave extra attention to our elderly cat. Would definitely recommend her 🐾”
“Highly recommend! Kareesa watched our Dog while we were gone on a 10-day trip to visit family. She was great with Pepper, and our home was well kept. Kareesa texted photos and communicated clearly with us while we were away. She also has experience training animals, and she had many useful tips for us upon our return. We hope to have Kareesa pet sit again for us on our next trip!”
“Pepper had a wonderful time with Gladdie in my home. She was walked, petted, given the treats that she enjoys, and most importantly, well-cared for during my time away. Gladdie also did the “extras” —feeding hummingbirds, watering flowers, etc., so the house was looked after as well. She will definitely be the first person I call the next time I need to go away, and when that happens, Pepper will be thrilled!”
“Lilith took care of Piper for an entire week while I was out of town. Throughout, she kept me informed and took good care of Piper. It's a bit unnerving having a housesitter, but Lilith made it easy. On my return, I could not even tell someone had been staying the week in my home. Great care was taken. Thank you Lileth!!!! See you again soon...”
About: I’ve had large dogs all my life and love active pups, cats and do well caring for all animals. Familiar with many breeds & personalities. I’ll follow your suggested routine to best suit your family. I currently have a very flexible schedule owning and running a lodge and can usually manage pet sitting to work around your pets’ needs. I’m very communicative and thorough. Since I have dogs of my own, I do pet sitting, walks and care in your home and come with exceptional references. I love walking dogs and spending time playing with them.
“Melissa was AMAZING! She watched our mini golden doodle for 6 days and took such good care of her. She sent tons of pictures and kept us notified. Not to mention, she went above and beyond whenever there was an issue. We look forward to booking her again!”
