House Sitting in Cordelia

Esther was absolutely wonderful with our 4 dogs. She was able to follow all of our crazy dog owner demands, including putting a cone on our husky when she was scratching at her ear infection. She sent lovely pictures and updates. Would definitely recommend.

:) As always, Jenna is responsible, communicative, and fantastic. She kindly accommodated a last minute scheduling change when my trip was delayed for a few hours and my pets adore her.

Jason took great care of my dog and cat while home sitting. I was a little weary of having someone stay at my house but I met Jason and watched his interaction with my girls I felt comfortable. Jason took great care of them even spoiled them. I would highly recommend Jason. I’ve already rescheduled Jason to watch my girls again.

Kathleen was a life savor. I last minute needed a ton of days covered for a dog sitter and she agreed to helping me out. Never having a dog sitter before was nerve racking but she met my expectations! She kept in contact with texts and photos the whole time. Would hire again.

Fiona did a great job taking care of my dog for a late night evening out. I appreciate that she took the time to do a meeting greet beforehand.She communicated clearly, followed instructions for my dogs care and respected my home. Most importantly she worked to develop a trusting relationship with my dog who can be anxious and was recovering from knee surgery. I plan to contact Fiona for future needs and I recommend her to others.

Ellen was amazing!! She stayed at our house for the weekend to watch all four of our animals and went above and beyond! She was able to accommodate each pets’ specific needs and even helped us water our garden! She left our house better than we left it. She was very respectful and gave updates everyday too! We will definitely be hiring Ellen again!!

Derek stayed with our boy for 8 days. He sent pictures and communicated with us daily. We returned to a calm, happy dog. Derek helped keep my plants alive as an added bonus! He is wonderful.

Andrea was prompt, kind, dependable, and great with our dogs…all the things you would want in a dog sitter. We are grateful to her! Our two dogs missed her when she left.

Laila came to our rescue when I realized that my new puppy , Abby, cannot go camping with us because she is not vaccinated for the Parvovirus. Years ago when my daughter got their first dog, a sweet puppy named Jax, he contracted the parvovirus simply from a playtime on their front lawn. Jax struggled , the vet did all he could, we worried, we cried and we prayed but we lost that sweet little boy… due to that one seemingly innocent event. Camping with our family with a new puppy in our tent was a super tempting thought. However, because of how radically Jax suffered , I knew I must not risk her ,my new puppy’s, life also (just for our enjoyment) My daughter recommended Rover. I was super impressed with several quick responses from very caring pet sitters. I had to meet and feel good about a person first however ( there are several things I had to consider-it’s not an easy decision) . One, someone I just met gets a house key, yikes! Two, someone I just met could be simply untruthful, Three, my puppy already has important issues, like biting, to be trained out of. ( there is also a liability here- she’s already play bit and hurt me). These are things I never worried about when owning dogs before… I’m older and wiser now:) During our meet and greet, Laila came in and immediately managed my puppy’s untrained behavior with her interaction and positive training techniques. She had a mature, respectful and very thoughtful demeanor, personable and professionally speaking. I felt she had a keen awareness of what I might be experiencing and she knew how to calm those worries. I explained that I was also interviewing a few others and she totally understood and was not put off. We chose her because we felt she was the complete package. I felt that my house was safe and that Laila would handle an emergency ( fire, and other house worries) if one would arise. We felt that she was focused and truly had a love for what she does ( she says it’s a hobby) that she has a career in another field, that this is her enjoyment basically. I felt like my puppy’s well-being was important to her above making any dollar amount! We received more than enough Updates and pictures over the stay and it’s very apparent that she did put time and effort into training my pup not to bite. My puppy still tries to play bite but NOTHING like before Laila came! I feel blessed! We found Laila to be super honest and reliable, professional and competent! What a stress reliever to have found her!!!! She indeed exceeded my expectations!

Emma is great! She house sat our Brise for a week and did a wonderful job. We recommend her highly.

Kristin did an amazing job not only watching Harley but also made sure we returned to a spotless home. She definitely goes above and beyond to ensure that Harley felt safe, secure and comfortable. It’s apparent that Kristin knows the importance of maintaining a calm and caring environment for our senior pet. Thank you so much Kristin!
