House Sitting in Catatonk

Claudia was a wonderful pet sitter! From the moment we met her, it was clear she was a lover of animals and she would take wonderful care of our dog Pepper while we were out. She left the house in spic and span, was always in communication during our trip or if she had any questions, and shared lots of pics throughout. Would hire again in a heartbeat.

Caroline was beyond amazing with my two dogs. She kept notes on everything and was extremely responsive. My dogs were very happy in her care. We even had an incident occur at our house while she was there and she took care of everything for us and notified us of the details. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again!!

Jaime was wonderful. Our two dogs took to him really fast, he was prompt and was a so when we needed him. Highly racy!!

Due to my "go to" sitter moving town, I needed to find a new home for my babies while I'm out of town. My son and I travel a lot so typical boarding/kennel is not my favorite place for the doggies. Arya was very responsive when setting up the stay. My dogs tend to forget their training when meeting someone new, and I appreciated that Arya immediately responded to my goldendoodle the way I want him to when he jumps - he turned his back. Within 2 minutes Ayra had Marlin responding as he should (too often people tell me, "oh, it's okay" and allow Marlin to misbehave. I know this is also on me...but to have help, helps!). The dogs were walked regularly and I was given many, many videos. I had some questions about the dogs after pick up, and Arya responded immediately. He also texted to check in to see how they were doing, which was great. I'd absolutely use Arya again for shorter trips; I'm not sure about longer ones because the dogs appear to spend much time in the crate. It's not a negative per se - and I trusted Arya completely with them - it's just that that stay is very different from their lifestyle they've experienced during boarding, which is a large yard in which to run free, and generally only crating at night for sleep and when my previous sitter would leave the house.

Rachel did a great job - was reliable, communication was excellent, and she took great care of my dog - she left the house clean and well cared for. I will definitely plan to have her watch my dog again!
