House Sitting Wharton-Hawthorne-Bella Vista

“Ellen is an outstanding petsitter. Her general care of my babies was wonderful, but she went above and beyond for all three. She was communicative, asked appropriate questions about their behavior, meds, wants, and needs. She handled meds and different feeding needs easily. Ellen was also ever so kind when I realized I had messed up my booking by an entire day and extended the stay for me (time zones 🙄). Most importantly: for the first time in my 20 years of travel, I had an animal fall ill (no fault of Ellen’s, he’s a cat with herpes that flared up in his little eye). She carefully monitored the situation and when his symptoms worsened a bit, she took him in for evaluation at my preferred vet. I know it must have been exhausting for her, but she genuinely handled this situation like he was her own cat. This could have been an immensely stressful situation for us both, but Ellen handled it with such compassion and kindness that I felt completely confident and experienced no distress. Given how strongly I love my pets, and how I worry for them, this was a huge surprise and relief for me.”

“Diana did a great job house sitting and taking care of our 9 year old American Staffordshire Terrier. He is a high energy dog that has some seperation anxiety when we leave town and can be a little bold at times. But she did a great job handling his energy with plenty of walks and mental stimulation. We came home to a relaxed and happy dog!”

About: I am a life-long animal lover, and have spent the majority of my life caring for my own pets and those of family, close friends, and neighbors. I will treat your pets with the same care, love, and attention I would treat my own. I am a board certified physician assistant currently looking for full- or part-time dog walking and pet-sitting opportunities while I search for a clinical position. I am available everyday of the week, and can accommodate walks, check-ins, or pet-sitting on short notice. I am always available to answer questions, send check-in photos or videos, or complete any specific requests you may have regarding your pets! I know entrusting the care of a loved one to a stranger can be stressful, so I am happy to do what I can to make both you and your pet feel comfortable and respected.

“Emily was great and I’m very happy I hired her to watch out two dogs this past weekend. She communicated well the entire time and was very easy going, responsive and responsible. I completely trusted her to stay the weekend with them and really appreciate how good of a job she did. I would absolutely hire her again.”

“Carrie was an amazing sitter. Attentive, communicative, and punctual. She went above and beyond to make sure my Bonnie was cared for the way I would take care of her. I will be rebooking with her for sure!”

“Stephanie stayed with our cat and senior pup for a week while we were on vacation. She was so wonderful! Stephanie took great care of our boys, house, and plants. She was very communicative and gave us daily updates on how everything was going. This allowed us to relax on our vacation knowing that our pets were in good hands. We will definitely be booking Stephanie again in the future and would highly recommend her for pet/house sitting! Thank you again for everything Stephanie!”

“I couldn't ask for a better sitter for my Mia!! Amanda is AWESOME!! She came and house sat with Mia today and got here just a little early so we could make sure to get on the road on time. She sent pics throughout the day and kept me updated on Mia. She is SO sweet and I will definitely be calling her again to sit with my Mia and Mia loved her! ❤️”

Brenda J.

“Kristen was great from the meet & greet forward. At the meet & greet when I suggested a quick walk to shiw her where we go she took the leash and started harnessing Captain up. Was responsive, pleasant and a pleasure to deal with. I set a cadence expectation on check ins and she went above and with pictures. You can tell she respected my home during the stay. The most important part of knowing she did a good job was that Captain, while estatic to see me, was mopey the next day and you can tell he misses Kristen already. I will 100% be utilizing Kristen in the future.”
