House Sitting in Congo

Elaina was great with our kitties. She was a great communicator and made sure we knew they were doing well. I wish I could give her 10 stars!

Lenny was the best! She was so great with all of my fur, feather, scale, and shell babies. It was so nice to have her watch them and come home to pets that were clearly very loved and not stressed at all. I cannot say enough good things about her!

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.
