Top rated Winterthur house sitters

“Paz looked after our senior dog through a tornado warning and heat wave while we were traveling internationally. Paz went way, way above the call of duty by taking our girl to the vet when she started a hunger strike mid-way through the visit. The vet remarked that Paz was very knowledgable, attentive, and great with our girl. Paz has some sort of gift for getting animals to take medications - hopefully she'll offer a "how to" class at some point! And Paz stays in very frequent contact, sending updates and lots of photos. We are so very grateful for Paz!! She is caring, responsible, and very attentive. We cannot recommend her enough.”


“We went out of town for a wedding and booked drop in visits for Norm. Kai and Devon were amazing. Kept us updated on norm and any packages that came to the house. Will definitely be rebooking again!”


“Chris was great with my dog. She sent me updates and pictures each day to let me know how it was going. She was very reliable and responsible!!”


“Tena did great with our babies! I was so nervous to leave them behind this trip. She gave them great care and attention and even managed to get one of my more aloof cats to sniff her! She is awesome!”


“Heather was the best! She was so communicative, so good with our baby, and overall an absolute dream. We recommend her to anyone for house sitting.”

“Tracy is absolutely outstanding!! She took amazing care of our 14 year old, deaf American Bulldog who requires extra love, care and attention due to her age and various medical conditions. We arrived home to a clean house, a content pup and very grateful neighbors as Tracy also assisted them. I'm recommending her to everyone I know and would love to have her stay again in the future!”


“Jessica watch our two dogs in our home for the weekend. She sent pics and was very attentive to their needs. We will definitely ask her to watch them again!”


“Karen was phenomenal. My dog is what I consider “special needs” - older, a rescue AND a pittie breed mix. Karen allowed me to be away for a couple days and be fully at ease; she was great with communicating with me throughout the visit and I am so thankful to her.”


“Toni did a great job taking care of my two fur-babies. She was very good at communicating. I will definitely reach out again and would recommend to others.”


“She was great with Bailey, hiking with her too. We like that she treats her as if she is her Dog but at the same token lets us know if she’s doing something that we haven’t discussed she would contact us. You know how hard it is to be gone for 2 weeks so we are happy to have Shanisa as another friend/family & dog sitter in our life she very trustworthy.”

“Gabrielle was fantastic! She was prompt, attentive and sent multiple pictures of my fur baby while she was watching him. I highly recommend her!”


“There aren’t enough good things to say about Joelle! She was communicative, kind, compassionate, and respectful in every way - with our animals and their quirks, our home, etc. She sent us pictures and was prompt in all responses. This also was a last minute request due to a previous sitter following through. Such a treasure to find her, and we look forward to working with her much more! Thank you, Joelle!”

“Dylan was excellent. Our pup got an injury while we were away. He handled things gracefully, remained calm and got the pup to the vet for care. I would recommend and use his services again.”


“Gina was amazing!! From the initial meeting, our puppies took to her right away and I could tell it would be a great fit. She was very attentive with them and just a lovely person! She sent updates often with pictures and videos which my family loved. I’m pretty sure our pups were spoiled when we were gone and they probably will miss her! I will definitely use her services again in the future and recommend her to everyone!!”


“Amanda took great care of our pups and sent lots of photos which we love!”

About: Hi, I’m Ikea and caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something I love. With hands-on experience from my time volunteering and working at the Delaware SPCA, I’ve cared for both dogs and cats by providing food, water, walks, clean living spaces, and lots of affection. I also had the opportunity to assist veterinary technicians with administering medication, which gave me even deeper insight into animal health and behavior. Whether your pet needs a calm companion, a playful friend, or someone patient and communicative while you’re away, I’m here to help. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs—and I treat each one like family. I’d love to meet your furry friend and give them the care, comfort, and attention they deserve! My current schedule is Monday through Friday 930 to 6 PM is when I have to work. I am free during the evening if you have walking needs and pretty local to me also free on Saturday and Sunday. In my home, I create a calm, clean, and safe environment where your pet can feel comfortable and cared for. I follow your pet’s usual routines—mealtimes, walks, play, and rest—while also providing plenty of affection, structure, and enrichment. I keep a close eye on behavior and health, and I’m confident handling medications if needed. In your home, I respect your space and your pet’s established routines. I make sure they feel secure in their familiar environment while you’re away, offering walks, fresh food and water, playtime, and cleaning up after them as needed. I stay communicative with updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in loving hands. No matter the location, my goal is always the same: to make your pet feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away.

Ikea T.
“I had to take an unexpected week-long assignment in California as an insurance adjudicator due to the wildfires, and I was incredibly stressed about leaving behind my two cats and three dogs. Thankfully, Ikea came through in the clutch! She was referred to me by a relative I work with, and from the moment we connected, I felt confident my fur babies were in good hands. Ikea was very attentive, knowledgeable, and professional. She followed every instruction I gave, sent regular photo updates, and kept me completely at ease the entire time I was away. Not only did she provide excellent care for my pets, but she also took great care of my home. Her love for animals truly shows, and her calm, trustworthy nature made all the difference. I still use her any time I travel—and I always come home to happy pets and a clean house. She definitely rocks. Highly recommend!”
