House Sitting in Excelsior

We adopted both our dogs, in our new home, in a new city - just about a year before the 2020 lockdown started. Since then - I have continued to work from home - and my dogs are pretty much never left alone. We have even brought them with me when I have traveled...which was a bit much. For this trip, I reached out through Rover which I have used before in other cities- and it has always been great. Because my dogs were not used to being home alone for extended periods of time, I really wanted someone who could housesit them. I put my request in about a month before my trip - and was surprised at how many responses I received right away. Katie responded that she was available - AND could have a "meet and greet" the very day I put the request in. We set it up a few hours later – and I met her (and her two kids – which at first I thought was I little odd - her daughter – maybe around 11 and her son maybe around 5-6?). But honestly, you could tell that Katie is really together and her kids are really cool...so that “meet and greet” with the kids actually made me trust her even more. A few days before our trip – Katie came over and we went through everything – easy breezy. And then during our trip she sent us texts/pics/updates – and I knew our house and our puppers were in great hands. Katie is the first person I would contact if I had to find a dog sitter again – she is awesome! Thanks Katie!!!

Ruth was a great communicator, very kind, and we had every confidence in her as a caretaker for our dog and home while we traveled. She was patient with our older dog and quickly gained the dog’s affection.

Deborah stayed with our almost 14 year old dog for two weeks. She was a great communicator, asked questions when needed, and sent daily photos. She kept a consistent routine including administering medication and two walks a day. What a relief to know that Dandy was well cared for while we were away for so long!

Eliana did a wonderful job watching both my needy pup Ripley and my house while I was out on a work trip for a few days. She gave me regular updates and pictures, and was fine taking her out on several walks while it was snowing out. :) I would gladly book her again!

We feel incredibly fortunate to have Teresa as a sitter for our Golden Retriever, Remy. She is wonderful to work with, and Remy loves her. When we travel we feel totally confident that Remy is getting the best care there is. We return home to a happy, healthy dog and a house just as we left it. Teresa even leaves some lights on for us if we return at night, for a cozy feel! She is the best!

Took great care of our dog!

Oliver was so great with our dogs! We had him stay in our home for three nights. He took excellent care of our little old man, who is not in very good health and did a such a good job managing our large, energetic pup. We would 100% recommend and hope to book again soon!

Jasmine was great, and we’re very appreciative of her help! She gave us updates on the pets and took good care of our house. We’d definitely recommend her services, and look forward to using her again!

Highly recommend Lindy and Seth. We were so nervous to leave our dog behind because he had a recent health scare. They communicated daily with pictures and updates each day

Annalyse was good.at keeping in touch and sending picks! She took great.care of our 2 dogs and we were happy to have her watch them!

Elizabeth did a great job with my elderly dog Suzi! She also took care of the guest sheets and towels which was above and beyond!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Brooke. My husband and I went overseas and I was very concerned about leaving our kitties with someone that they did not know. Brooke stepped in and took fantastic care of them. She was with them often played with them, took lots of photos and videos of them and they really fell in love with her. I will always use Brooke going forward and never be worried about leaving again. Thanks so much Brooke. You’re awesome.
