House Sitting in Ivyland

We were initially hesitant to use a pet sitter for our 13-month intact male Vizsla, who’s in his wild teenage phase. We needed someone who could be a strong leader, maintaining discipline without overwhelming him. Brian was fantastic—he handled our pup with confidence and care, keeping him in line while ensuring he felt comfortable. The updates and pictures Brian sent throughout the day were a bonus and gave us peace of mind. Highly recommend his services!

Hailey was very caring and loving towards both my girls Kasey & Kali. She sent pics throughout the day keeping us informed. I highly recommend Hailey for dog/puppy services.

Logan was great. She stayed with our 5 month old puppy and he was well taken care of. She sent pictures and was updates. I will definitely use her again.

Jenna was able to help me out last minute when my other plans for my dog changed. She came to my house and met my dog where he adjusted to her very quickly. She kept me updated and sent pictures while we were gone. Highly recommend!

Erica is just wonderful - I can't recommend her highly enough. We were nervous about having someone we didn't know stay in our house for a week, but our elderly Maltese was just diagnosed with a heart condition, and she needed to be watched in our home. Erica was just perfect. She is so friendly and smart, a great communicator, and truly cares about the animals. When we returned home, our pets were calm and happy, and the house looked just as it had when we left. Erica is definitely our go-to pet sitter now.

This is the second time Angelica has watched our 2 dogs in our home over night. We always come home to happy pups. Angelic is very respectful of our home, we are always very comfortable with her staying and taking care of our babies.

Dawn was literally amazing from beginning to end. She did a meet and greet about a month prior to the booking date, and then asked to meet a 2nd time for a little refresh. She stayed at our apartment with our pets while we were away for a weekend and she constantly sent pictures and videos. She kept us in the loop and answered our texts almost immediately. She followed instructions and was very respectful of our space. She even put our sheets and blankets in the wash (even asked our permission first!) She didn’t leave a mess and most importantly, our dogs and cats felt safe and comfortable. I’m so happy we went with Dawn and will continue to book with her anytime we need a pet sitter!

Dawn is wonderful with the dogs! She is prompt and very knowledgeable. We had no worries while we were out with Dawn on the job!

Alex regularly walks our dogs, and he just pet/house sit for us for for 9 days while we were out of the country. I was a bit nervous about leaving all of our animals, including an elderly cat that needs medication and a high maintenance, anxious rescue dog. Alex took care of everything wonderfully, and it was a huge relief to know that our fur family was in good hands. We will definitely turn to him when we go out of town again!

I have two dogs. We adopted Wilder only two years ago and have NEVER left him with anyone. He is VERY nervous and does not do well with strangers. I was certain I would never be able to leave him and would have to sacrifice family vacations for the rest of his life...until I met Wendy. By day two, Wendy was sending me videos of Wilder approaching her to give her kisses!!! I could NOT believe my eyes! By day four, he was jumping into bed with her for belly rubs! That was obviously the most important thing for me - that my dogs were loved and comfortable - and boy were they! But furthermore, Wendy was the BEST house-sitter I’ve ever had as well...including family members! She left my home cleaner than I left it. She brought in the mail daily and organized it...I mean it was almost alphabetized! 😂 She brought in the trash, made sure the gates were locked after the landscapers came, watered my flowers — even miraculously brought my clematis back to life!!! And she texted me every time she arrived and left and sent myriad photos and videos of my pups throughout the week. I will NEVER leave my home or dogs in the care of anyone else!!! Even family members. She is AMAZING! Highly highly highly recommend Wendy! Coming from an OCD dog mommy...she is THE ABSOLUTE BEST! Now, I just have to hope my dogs don’t fall into a depression because she isn’t here 😂 Planning on scheduling drop ins just so they can see her because I think they will genuinely miss her!

Thank you, Joelle! Your care for Pippin gives me peace of mind when I travel!

Jen was amazing with our two dogs while we were away for vacation. She was super responsive and great with communication before we left, while we were away, and on the day we arrived home. We will absolutely be using Jen again!

Samantha was very communicative sending daily updates and pictures! Jetson really seemed to warm up to her fast and I can tell he was well taken care of as he hasn't been (too) angry since I have come home

Heather is the carer one dreams about: trustworthy, kind, knowledgeable, meticulous, and offers to do more than expected. I entrusted her with my two senior littles, one of whom has a heart condition and both reactive to other dogs for a first time trip away cared by a non family member. She was wonderful and created a calm, sweet environment for them. And, lastly, Heather is a great communicator in providing periodic updates and photos throughout each day Coda and Poppy were under her care.
