House Sitting in Mankas Corner

Ella has been great with our fur baby Kenichi! I am grateful that she was available very last minute and I know I can always count on her. Thank you Ella for being amazing! See you again next time! - Halal family

Rocelyn is the only person I will trust with our cat and dog. She takes care of them like they are her own, or even better. We booked with Rocelyn before and she went out of her way to make our anxious cat feel comfortable- spending a ton of time trying to coax him out of the garage, giving him treats, speaking softly and sweetly. He did warm up by the end. On this stay, I’m happy to report that our cat did not hide at all and was comfortable walking around the house and chilling in his favorite places while Rocelyn was here. Rocelyn also walked our dog three times a day and followed all instructions. She kept the house tidy and was respectful and courteous. She kept us updated every day throughout the day, and if she saw any concerns she contacted us immediately. I will only book with Rocelyn in the future. Her rates are worth it- trust the reviews!

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!

As usual, Kristin was a great dog and house sitter. Our dogs really enjoy having her around while we’re away. She takes great care of them. She also always leaves our house in great shape after she stays. Some sitters leave a mess. Not Kristin. Definitely recommend having her take care of your dogs and house if you have a need!

Leyda is the absolute best with my fur babies! We use her every time we go out of town and she is always on time and available to give all the extra love our pups need while we are away. Thank you for being amazing! I highly recommend her!

Nicky did a great job sitting for our 3 Great Pyrenees! Our home was just as we left it, and the pups were sad to see her leave! Will definitely work with Nicky again.
