House Sitting in Bailhache

Hailey is very personable. She quickly responded to my request to book her for a 4-day house/cat sitting on "short notice" (2 weeks out). She came over right away to learn about the cats and the house. Our cats are free to go in and out during daylight, but they need to inside at night due to predators in our area. An electronic cat flap ensures that they remain inside at night. On the second evening, Hailey noticed that the electronic cat flap had allowed the cats exit after the "lock in" time. She quickly reported the problem to me and sent a photo of the control panel so I could diagnose the problem. I suspected that the batteries had died, which requires reprogramming. I told her where to find fresh batteries and the programming instructions. I doubt most sitters would be able to do it at all, but Hailey had it set up again within 10 minutes! Our "people" cat Shilo slept with Hailey, a high compliment. One evening our other cat Cassie (more leary of strangers) decided to sequester herself in the crawl space under the house. Hailey tried all the tricks to entice Cassie to come in, but to no avail, so Hailey stayed up until 11:15 when Cassie finally came back in. Hailey sent a photo or two of the cats daily and a brief comment on the cats' behavior, which is much appreciated. When we returned from our trip, the house was just as we'd left it 4 days before (which was clean and tidy). We wouldn't hesitate to book Hailey again.

Lauren is always the BEST! Once again, she took wonderful care of my anxious dog and moody cat, watered my garden, and the house was cleaner when I got home than when I left! She really loves the animals she’s caring for. Thanks again, Lauren!

Stephanie is a wonderful, caring, experienced dog sitter. She is so good with Chester… I think he was sorry to see us back. I highly recommend her for your pets!!!!

Emilie did a great job watching my dog and cat. She was communicative and sent me picture updates while I was away. I would book with her again next time we are away.

Our dog loved Mia immediately. She is a great communicator, great with dogs, and a pleasure to have in our home. We would recommend her to anyone with an anxious dog.

100/10 stars! Ashely watched our baby and home with so much care and love. Leon had longs walks daily and our home looks the same as when we left. Will definitely have her back. Thank you.

Hendrix loved Jillian, she went on many long walkies and sent updates regularly. I could tell he had a great time and was taken very good care of. :)

My little senior dog immediately fell in love with Lynette. She isn an amazing dog sitter.

Kyle was great with my difficult, non-social dog as well as my other [easier] dog. The fact that my difficult dog let Kyle pet him by the end of his stay says a lot!! Took good care of the house, too, left it just as he found it.

She kept me informed and took very good care of my pups.

I am so so pleased with Gigi and her pet/house sitting for my two cats. Gigi spent time to get me and my pets prior to pet sitting, asking important questions and putting my worries at ease (and I always worry before trips). Gigi was clean and gave intermittent updates and pictures of our cats during her time with them. I would gladly rebook.

Rosemary took wonderful care of our dogs, cat, and home. She gave us updates and checked in regularly and our pets clearly enjoyed their time with her. We would welcome her back again!

Veronica is the best pet sitter we’ve ever had! She went above & beyond with our 2 dogs, taking them on hikes & to the beach & spoiling them with toy shopping trips! We are so grateful & will definitely book again. She kept us informed on how they were doing everyday & sent wonderful pictures. When our senior pittie had a little health scare she was on top of it. It’s so hard to leave our dogs, (and we almost never leave them), but she did such a wonderful job we weren’t worried. Peace of mind is everything. To top it off I swear she left our house even cleaner than we left it! I would recommend her to anyone!

Peter was fantastic. Not only was he flexible, professional and generous (going way beyond the call of duty) during an extended power outage, but he was kind and cheerful while dealing with adversity. He also left our house spotless and our dog super content. So appreciative of his communication and positive energy and attitude. We will definitely have him come stay with Otis again in the future.

I always appreciate Erik being here with my crazy bunch! He seems to handle them with ease and a positive attitude. Usually he always sends at least one picture update , which I didn't get this time, but that doesn't take away from the fact they and I trust him being here! Thanks for always being willing and accommodating for my crazy bunch! Next time send tons of pictures lol :) and thanks for always putting up a worrying dog mom , I know I'm a lot lol

Devan stayed at our home and took care of our big, loud dog. He was on time and very responsive and our house was just as we left it when we returned. Thank you!
