House Sitting in Elwood

If I could rate Hope higher than 5 I would. I have NEVER left my animals with a sitter and was very nervous but Hope came over and met them before our trip and I was immediately at ease. You can see the kindness and love of animals in her face. My dog stopped eating midway through the sitting job and she reached out and asked if she could try alternatives to get him to eat. She made him a fresh and healthy meal of ground chicken, broth and veggies and he ate it up! It was the only thing he would eat so she went and got enough to cook him lunch and dinner daily as it was all he would eat. I was so grateful and impressed that she went out of her way to ensure his health and well being. The cats grew attached to her as well and she ensured they got their prescription diet daily. My dog wouldn’t take his thyroid medicine either and she asked permission to give it to him with some lunch meat which was perfect and he would take the medicine. I have never trusted anyone enough to stay in my home but she immediately clicked with the animals and my family and I was able to take comfort daily knowing she was here with them. Her communication was excellent through the entire 11 days. I was so impressed and would highly recommend her to anyone. Especially anyone that has fears of quality care. She is a wonderful human and if you need quality care with lots of love for your pets - she is the one to get. Thank you Hope for all you did. We are forever grateful and will be back again for future sitting needs!

Stacy was amazing. She stayed in our home for almost two weeks and gave loving attention to our dogs while we were gone. It gave us the peace of mind to enjoy our time away. She communicated well and quickly and sent us photos of our dogs. She left the house immaculate. She even watered our plants for us. We highly recommend her and hope she can care for our pups in the future. We really appreciated her flexibility when our return flights were delayed.

Kristan was awesome with my boisterous 70 pound baby...calm, attentive and a great house and dog sitter...highly recommend her 😀

As always, Tammy took wonderful care of my two Norwegian forest cats who are admittedly high maintenance! Knowing Tammy is looking after my babies allows me to take a vacation a couple times a year without having to worry about them - they’re in such good hands! Thanks so much. See you in September.

Jessie did a great job caring for my senior dog overnight. He has several dementia issues and she handled them all with no issues-including meds.

Meaghan was great. During our first meeting she was prepared with excellent questions. She was kind and happy and easy to talk with. She followed my bullet pointed outline perfectly and she was happy to have that. Marlie had some bowel issues while we were gone, which can usually happen when I’m not home. Meaghan informed me and I suggested what to do and she did that and Marlie recouped just fine. She kept the house in order and sent texts daily and photos of the dogs. I will definitely book her again!

Sammy was absolutely wonderful! They took exceptional care of Eva and our home while we were away, and we’re incredibly grateful for their thoughtfulness and reliability. We felt completely at ease knowing Eva was in such loving hands and will definitely reach out again!

My dogs got along excellently with Elizabeth (even Bruce, who is afraid of everyone)! She took excellent care of the house, was communicative, and overall very helpful and trustworthy. I will be using her again!

Kyan was super nice and wanted to make sure the best care was given to my pups. I will definitely book again!!

Norah stayed with our dog and cat for an overnight visit and was very sweet with them. She followed their care instructions, checked in with questions as needed, and made herself available to stay with them for the entirety of the visit, which was important for Lola’s needs. We appreciated her taking care of them while we were away!
