House Sitting in Del Rio Woods

Amanda is the best dog-sitter one could hope for! She understands and loves dogs. Very importantly, on each and every occasion we've had her watch Ollie, she is punctual (often a few minutes early!), and her communication to lock in a date, as well as communication and great photos while she is with our dog is exactly what we want. Our dog quickly grew attached to her and we look forward to having Amanda dog-sit whenever we are in the area.

Wendy was fantastic! She was available within a few days’ notice to stay at our house and watch our dog while we were out of the country for 5 nights. She sent daily updates and kept us well-informed. We felt so much better knowing our dog was in the comfort of his own home instead of a kennel. We will certainly use her again!

Stefanie was simply amazing! She took charge of Bowie and he took to her immediately. Thanks for being so flexible with your schedule to accomodate us. You truly made our son's wedding weekend extra special. Bowie says hi and thanks you too for all the fun he had. Cheers, Keith and Susan

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.

My wife and I have literally done no traveling since before Covid. This was not only due to travel restriction but also worrying about our senior blind dog. This is the first time we had someone stay in our home to watch her. We were so lucky to find Tania because she was the perfect solution to what we needed. She was dependable and you could tell how much she cared for our dog. Her daily communications and photos relieved our anxiety. We would highly recommend Tania for any dog sitting needs and thankfully we now know here and hopefully will have more travel Opportunities to work together again moving forward. 

Melissa watched our 2 dogs and 1 cat in our home for 10 days. I can’t say enough wonderful things about her! She sent us many updates and photos which was greatly appreciated, especially being away from our pets for so long. Our older dog is 15 and was having some issues due to a medical condition she has and Melissa took AMAZING care of her and administered her medication as needed. She also watered the garden which I totally forgot to ask her to do so that was an extra kind gesture! Our house was left spotless and we came home to very happy animals! I would highly recommend booking with Melissa and would love to use her again in the future.

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.

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.

Andi was fantastic - very professional, communicative, and especially warm and patient with our nervous rescue dog. Andi has an extensive knowledge and understanding of dogs - she was very in tune with what our girl needed, whether it be physical exercise or mental stimulation, and she gave her lots of attention and snuggles. Our dog is leash reactive, and Andi was able to plan walks and avoid triggers as much as possible. We returned home to a very happy dog and a clean house. Would definitely hire Andi again!

Susan was great with my dog Jaya and sent me photos and updates every day of my trip. I felt good about leaving my girl with Susan and was able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing she was being well taken care of and even taken on outings! In addition Susan left my house in perfect order and gave my plants some tender loving care too!

Katie was awesome to work with. Professional, caring, and attentive to Hijo.
