House Sitting in Startex

Irma was really wonderful with my almost 13-year-old, deaf, rescued Springer Spaniel, Ella. I contacted her at the last minute when plans for a friend to sit fell through and she saved the day for me. Irma is like a 'dog whisperer'. I rescued Ella 4 months ago and, over the last 6 weeks or so, it seemed she was more anxious, was waking up multiple times a night, and, in general, I was beginning to wonder if she was happy at my house. l came back to a dog (after a few short days with Irma) who was more relaxed, and sleeping through the night. I highly recommend Irma...she just 'gets' dogs, loves them very much and passed on invaluable tips on caring for hearing-impaired pups.

Zia did a good job working around her other work commitments to help us out here! Our pups seem to enjoy the care from Zia, and our house always seems more organized after Zia's stays!

Mehlayne is a delight. She stayed with my pup for the first time while I was away for a week. She and Clancy warmed to each other immediately. She is a great communicator and has a kind and gentle spirit. I would definitely recommend her and will use her again, I’m sure.

Bella was so great with Nala! She came before her visit to meet her and gave updates throughout her visit to show us she was being well cared for. She is very professional - Highly recommend!

We had Brittany come and stay at our house to watch our two big dogs and they really liked her. One of our dogs is very nervous around people and she took great care of him making sure he was comfortable and eating. She also sent us daily updates and was all around really great and we would definitely use her again!

Francois is a very outstanding dog sitter. We were concerned about getting a dog sitter as we used to have a close friend take care of our golden, Jasmine, when we went out of town. But Francois went above and beyond caring for Jasmine, taking her on walks and sending us photos and updates even a few times a day. Francois even took care of our house, swept the patio, washed the bedding. The house was in perfect condition. It was hard to leave our beloved pup but she was happy and healthy when we returned. We would not hesitate to ask Francois for dog care for our next trip. We are so very thankful to Francois for all his love and care for Jasmine.

Carissa did an amazing job, would highly recommend using her! She took great care of my dog and I was gone for almost 2 weeks!

The dogs were well taken care of. Elise took them on walks and provided us with pictures while we were away!

Carltyn did an awesome job caring for our 2 large dogs and our current foster dog while we were away for the holiday weekend! Our foster dog is older and kept separated from our personal dogs due to some reactivity, and she did just fine managing him! Our pitty also can sometimes mark or chew things like shoes up when he gets anxious, and she kept him comfortable - not a single accident!

Kerstin is an absolute God-send. She stayed in our home to take care of our pets for 11 days, and she could not have done a more perfect job. She kept us updated everyday with sweet, detailed notes, and she managed all of the little idiosyncrasies of our pets and kept them so happy. She is the ONLY per/house sitter we will ever use. Can't express how much we love and appreciate her.
