House Sitting in Canocito

Marty is fantastic! I am admittedly very neurotic about leaving our pets and contacted close to 30 sitters on Rover and interviewed 4. Marty was always prompt in responding to me and sent detailed updates and pictures while he watched our dog for 8 days while we were in Alaska with limited access to internet. Despite the fact that I told him he didn't need to bother with cleaning up before leaving he washed and changed the sheets on our bed and the house was spotless on our return. It was an unnecessary though greatly appreciated gesture. He is wondeful and we would not hesitate to hire him again.

As always, just awesome. Always feel like my boys are safe & well cared for.

Leah did an excellent job, Winston was well taken care of and extremely comfortable with her.

August was very thorough with updates, which was much appreciated! Our nervous dog seemed to do very well with August’s patient and calm demeanor!

Daniel, you make taking a trip so stress free. We love your attention to detail, the way you look after and love on our family makes coming home that much sweeter. Thank you.

Luca is wonderful, took care of hapoo and tutu while we were away. Kept the house clean, the dogs fed, clean and most importantly loved, sent us frequent updates, kept us posted about the dogs, even stayed longer when our return flight got delayed. The dogs fell in love with luca and we are looking forward to rebooking

Svetlana did an excellent job with our two elderly animals (1 dog, 1 cat) and all their special dietary needs and myriad medications, including giving our constipation-prone cat an ear ointment (cisapride) daily, which she handled with confidence. She was very punctual, responsive and reassuring, which made it easy to relax and know they were in good hands. Plus, she won over our cat immediately - which does not always happen! We are so relieved to have found someone as responsible, caring and professional as Svetlana and will definitely be using her again. Highly recommend!

Cody did great. He is very professional in how he communicated, cared for our dogs, and home. We highly recommend Cody.

I have to start with, Stephanie was exceptional!!! Starting with our first meeting, and continuing on, I was quite impressed by Stephanie. Intelligent. caring, energetic, kind....... I really can go on and on but don't want to go overboard, lest you think this isn't a real review - it is. As soon as I got home from our initial meet, I booked Stephanie before someone else could scoop her up. She stayed at our house for a week, caring for our shih tzu, our indoor plants, our landscaping, our house! Maisie loved her at first sight! Stephanie stayed in touch with us daily (which I appreciated - she did ask me at our second meeting did I like/want alot of contact, pictures, etc. - and yes, I'm one of those doggy moms). She administered meds to Maisie twice a day, gave her new toys, played games - and let her sleep with her! Stephanie even took her downtown for a doggy cup from Starbucks (asked permission first)!! I did not spend one minute worrying about our furry child; I knew Stephanie could handle anything that came up ( requesting vet info, local emergency vet locations, etc - I didn't think to leave this as info!?!?!?!?). I'm quite certain that our little princess, Maisie, felt like we left her on a "Ritz" vacation with Stephanie. I started with EXCEPTIONAL and have to end that way as well - as did Stephanie prior to our arrival home. So, I've gotten great reports and pictures all week; Stephanie texts to ask would I like her to pick up some groceries so we don't have to run out right away. And then we get home, the house is spotless! Stephanie had vacuumed and cleaned the hardwood floors, washed and replaced sheets and towels she used while sitting for us, cleaned the common spaces and bathrooms, AND cleaned the refrigerator shelves!!! Oh yeah, and she gave Maisie a bath!!!!! Need I say more...... the best we've ever had. My only hesitancy with sharing such a wonderful, caring, intelligent, thoughtful care provider with you is - she may get so busy I won't be able to get her again!!! Oops, and I forgot. She did an adorable sketch of Maisie and left it for us, framed, in our favorite room in the house.. Trust me - reserve Stephanie whenever you can! She is exceptional!!!

Autumn is awesome! Our pups were very happy and relaxed when we got home, and she administered their meds exactly as requested! We will definitely ask Autumn to watch our pups again.

Sierra is wonderful! Very reliable and punctual. My dogs were so happy with her.

Amanda went above and beyond taking care of our animals. I get nervous leaving my animals but with Amanda there I knew they were In good hands. She did amazing taking care of our shy dog Layla and had no problems walking her. Amanda did more then we asked and gave them extra attention and took good care of them in the heat wave we just had. I can’t thank Amanda enough for taking such good care of our animals. I highly recommend her for taking care of your pets.

The only downside to hiring Laurie is that no sitter after her will even come close to her caring, diligence, professionalism, and trustworthiness. I’ve been hiring dog sitters for 15 years, and with Laurie I hit the jackpot. She will take copious notes during the Meet & Greet and follow every instruction exactly. And if she stays in your home, she will leave it clean and organized. My dog, who is usually nervous and skittish after I’ve returned from a trip, was as calm as can be this time. A first. Honestly, need I say more? Thank you, Laurie! You were all of this, and more.

Christina is one of the nicest, most thoughtful caregivers that I have had the pleasure to meet through Rover. She sent pictures and updates on activities throughout the day. She asked lots of questions to make sure she got things right. I appreciate that as you never know when someone is "winging it" until you get home and see the evidence. The dogs looked happy and we'll cared for in all the pics and were perfectly content when we arrived home. We will definitely be using Christina for our pet sitting again. Can't say enough good things about her.
