House Sitting in Newcastle

Our pup Sunny was looked after in our home primarily by Mari & occasionally Emily while we were away visiting family in England for just over two weeks. We have had Sunny go to other sitters' houses in the past with not great experiences, so this time, we hoped to find someone to stay with Sunny so he could be in his own space with his normal routine. Emily & Mari came to the rescue to take our slightly last-minute long stay booking, and we were so thankful. Sunny is a rescue pup and can be tricky at times, so Emily's experience with training dogs and positive reinforcement knowledge was reassuring to us. During the stay, we received great communication daily, with lovely photos and videos of Sunny, which allowed us to relax and enjoy family time while overseas. Mari did not hesitate to ask questions or update us on any issues that arose, which was so appreciated. Our house was very clean and welcoming to come home to after our super long travel day back home, and Sunny was his usual self! We are so thankful for this great experience and hope to be able to use Emily & Mari again in the future when needed.

Cannon did a fabulous job, keep our little boy busy so he would sleep when we were ready. Sent some really nice pictures to keep us updated. We will use her again.

Wonderful sitter. We have 5 animals and Brittany managed them well. One of our dogs is usually upset while we are gone however, this time she was so happy. When we came home it was almost as if we had not been gone. She even did a wonderful job caring for my plants. I am looking forward to my next trip now that I know my animals and home will be well taken care of!

Ashley stayed at my condo with my dog Albie. Was clean, communicated well, Albie seemed really happy with her and she did a great job. So grateful Ashley was able to stay with Albie and keep her company. Will use her again in the future!

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.

Brooke was wonderful. Bear and Benji don’t make up with people very quickly. Except Brooke. They were up in her lap in a heartbeat. She sent me pictures of my happy boys. This is the first time we have ever left them with anyone. Great job, Brooke.

Bevan did a great job , would have him back ..
