House Sitting in Sycamore

Angela had her hands full this week with the snow and rain and dealing with two rambunctious muddy pawed dogs (ours and our sons!). I appreciate you so much!! We are repeat clients and confident in knowing Angela takes great care of the household when we're gone! Thanks for all you do!

Megan was excellent! She was communicative and sent pictures every few hours to keep us posted. Highly recommend - reliable, caring, and treated our dog like family!

Anja was absolutely AMAZING! The day before my sister-in-law's wedding, we found out that our dog sitter and our back-up dog sitter couldn't watch our new puppy. After we were done panicking, we perused Rover - a service we had never used before - to find someone who was available last-minute and could stay at our townhome with our puppy (and two cats) all day. We saw Anja and Josh's profile on Rover and were impressed by their qualifications and the speed at which they replied. Within an hour of us sending out the inquiry, Anja responded and even came over to our townhome to meet us and the puppy later that same day. She immediately bonded with all three of our pets (even the cat who usually disappears when new people show up), which was very comforting for us. She asked tons of questions about the puppy's typical schedule and the cats' routines as well. Most importantly, she asked us how often we would like her to check in with us throughout the day - and how many pictures of our pets we would like to see while we were away. She sent lots of pictures of our pets and the adventures that she and our puppy had gone on throughout the day, which was very much appreciated and comforting. Having never used Rover before - or had anyone watch our puppy for any length of time aside from my brother-in-law for a couple hours - we were nervous. As soon as we met Anja, however, we were at ease and HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who is looking for the right Rover sitter for the job.

Erika was absolutely amazing! She made sure to do a meet and greet before the house sitting booking. During the booking, she provided detailed updates with pictures. She also went above and beyond to clean, leaving my place cleaner than I left it. Erika was extremely communicative and attentive to my dog throughout their time together. I would highly recommend her!

Kellie was a life saver! We had some trouble scheduling last minute and she was quick to reply and did a fantastic job. Was great with all of the pets and definitely went above and beyond for us.

Matt was great! Highly recommend him!

Erika was in time, interested in understanding the assignment and needs for Tobi, and everything was perfect. I highly recommend Erika, who is a dog lover, for sure!

Our 3 pups adore Emma & we appreciate not having to stress when Emma is caring for our babies !

There is so much to say about Kara and how amazing she is. Kara has been building a bond with our 130 pound 8 year old Rottweiler Storm. Storm is a type of dog that you have to earn her trust before she’ll let you pet her or come by you. For that we’ve had a lot of sitters cancel from even meeting her or giving it a try, but not Kara. She came right in and respected her space and didn’t judge her by what could be, but by what she saw when meeting her. Kara Is extremely friendly and very adaptive which helped us in a pinch on a concert day. We did a few stop in visits before doing our first overnight stay this Friday. I couldn’t be more happy on how well it went! Which I had no doubt about it given storm and Kara’s previous interactions. Storm is on medication twice a day and very picky eating. Kara followed her routine perfectly even giving her extra potty breaks. Upon returning home the house looked exactly as we left it and Kara even brought our trash cans in, picked up the paper/mail and left us a report card of her stay with Storm. None of which we asked her to do and she did which left us feeling relieved and appreciative for Kara. We couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter/house sitter and look forward to all the next visits her and Storm will have!

We were so lucky to find Lisa before our recent out of town trip! Lisa has great reviews and references and we understand now after our trip! Lisa kept really good communication and would send us photos of our fur babies every day. We felt completely at ease for our dogs and didn’t worry once on our trip. We came home to very happy and healthy dogs. 10/10 recommend Lisa and we will be using her again!!
