House Sitting in Gonzales

Taylor is always so great! We gladly use her services when we go out of town

Norman was great! We had planned for another sitter to take care of our pets while on vacation for a week. From the first meet-and-greet with that sitter, which we unfortunately scheduled 48 hours before departure, it was clear that it wouldn't work out as our dog kept barking at the poor nice lady (who ended up in tears). Bye bye Hawaii! That's when we contacted Norman who agreed to spend 5hrs/day for 9 days on a 36hr notice! Our dog liked him right away (he is not lying: "Dogs love him!"). We had warned him about the meet-and-greet failure of the day beforehand and he was super careful to approach our dog in a non-threatening way. And it clicked! Over the course of the week, the two of them ended taking naps together and lots of cuddling. During our absence, Norman followed our feeding and medication instructions, took care of our two cats, cleaned their litter box regularly, watered our plants and left our house in a clean state. He even brought a roll of paper towels from his home when ours ran out. Norman sent us daily updates, often with pictures and even a couple videos. We are very pleased of our first experience with Norman and we'll be contacting him again for sure. We totally recommend Norman's services (but please don't keep him too busy as we will need him again).
