House Sitting in Del Rio Woods

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.

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!!!!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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!

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

Kayla did a great job house sitting and caring for our doggie, Jack BAKER! We're in the middle of preparing for an out of state move so everything was rather chaotic but she just went with the flow. It was a relief to know Jack and our home were in her capable hands.

Hayley is the best. She kept our Buddy fully entertained and well cared for while we were gone. She sent us daily updates so we were always informed for what they were doing. I highly recommend Hayley she will love your pet as much as you do.

Nikki is a delightful person and did a great job taking care of our cat, Gato. He's usually a bit shy at first, but warmed up to her right away. Nikki communicated with us clearly and followed our instructions carefully. We felt totally confident with Gato in her care. Our house was left in an immaculate condition when we returned. Nikki deserves those five stars and more!
