House Sitting in Dalmatia

Dani was very friendly! She came to our home for a meet and greet ahead of our trip and was really great with our dog Cocoa. Our only disappointment was the hours with which Cocoa was left alone. We noted we were fine with Dani working her full-time job in addition to dog sitting in our home for the week, however we made sure to ask ahead of time that Cocoa not be left alone for more than 8 hours a day (minus travel to and from work as needed). We also try to be rather easy going, we know there are things going on outside of taking care of our pup. Dani assured us that was no problem. To be honest, we had turned down other sitters who just couldn’t commit to the job. It’s totally fair to be unable to meet the needs our pup requires but we try to be honest about our expectations so that there’s no confusion. That being said, we have a doorbell camera and noticed there were a couple days where Cocoa was left alone for 12-14 hours at a time - which was really disappointing to see.

Brendan took excellent care of our pup Gunner, overnight and in our home for several days while we were away. He was extremely attentive to our needs, the needs of our dog, and frequently checked in to ensure we were happy with the experience. He provided regular updates and was flexible with us. I strongly recommend Brendan for peace of mind.

Beth was excellent with our pups. It was so great to not have to worry if they were ok while we were gone. We got pictures and updates consistently.

Rebecca did a great job watching our puppy. He’s a handful sometimes! She played with him and tuckered him out. The next day she came and did a check in to let him out to go for a short walk and go potty. Let’s just say, he had messed, she contacted me immediately and we reviewed the plan. Rebecca did as I asked. Will definitely use her again!!

Annie was so wonderful. She took such great care of our large, nervous dog when we went of out town. It put us at ease to know he was taken care of and even enjoyed his weekend while we were away! Annie was great at keeping us up to date with pics, videos, and info. She also was such a wonderful house guest. We’d be so honored to have her back again!

Kayla is absolutely amazing- she took care of our three cats with so much compassion and really made an effort to communicate with us during our time away. The house was spotless annd well-cared for- and this was the first time all three of our somewhat anxious kitties seemed to have a seamless time adjusting to us being away. It made our time over the holidays so enjoyable knowing such a great pet friend was with them. I cannot rate her highly enough!!!

Courtney is fantastic – thoughtful, responsive, communicative. Most of all, she clearly loves animals, and our dogs were so well taken care of. Highly recommend!
