House Sitting in Birnam Wood

After our first Rover sitter said they couldn’t do it. We were panicked to find a replacement. I am so glad I ran across Dakota and Rover. Took excellent care of both dogs and also the house. Any future trips will definitely get Dakota to watch our two dogs for us. Highly highly recommend.

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Danielle. She was absolutely incredible from beginning to end, and I genuinely don’t think we could have found a better person to care for our pets. I was extremely anxious about leaving them, especially because our dog, Merlin, can be anxious when we’re away and requires a little more patience, attention, and understanding than the average dog. Our cats also have their own personalities, routines, and anxieties, so trusting someone else with all three of them was a really big deal for me. Danielle completely put my mind at ease. She followed every single care instruction to a tee and was so attentive to all of the little details that matter to us. More importantly, though, she treated our animals with so much genuine love, patience, and kindness. She took the time to make Merlin feel comfortable and secure, kept up with his routines, gave him plenty of attention, and handled his anxiety beautifully. She even handled his grooming incredibly well, which was another aspect of his care that meant a lot to us. Merlin is a Samoyed with a lot of fur and grooming him can require patience and a gentle approach, and Danielle did an amazing job making sure he was comfortable while still taking such great care of his coat. I was genuinely impressed by how confidently and patiently she handled him. She was equally wonderful with our cats and allowed them to warm up to her at their own pace while making sure they felt safe, loved, and cared for. Seeing how comfortable they became with her was incredibly reassuring. Danielle also went above and beyond when it came to communication. She sent us frequent updates and so many wonderful photos, told us how everyone was doing, and gave me an incredible amount of reassurance throughout the entire time we were away. She seemed to understand without me even having to explain just how hard it was for me to leave them, and her updates allowed me to actually relax and enjoy our trip because I knew our babies were in such capable and loving hands. What stood out most was that this never felt like someone simply “watching our pets.” Danielle genuinely cared about them. You can tell when someone is just completing a list of instructions versus when someone is truly invested in making your animals feel happy, comfortable, and loved, and Danielle was absolutely the latter. The amount of care and compassion she showed them meant more to us than I can adequately put into words. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets and a home that had been treated with the utmost respect. Knowing that Merlin and the cats had someone so loving and dependable with them while we were gone was priceless. If you are an anxious pet parent, have pets with specific routines or needs, or simply want someone you can completely trust with the animals you consider family, I cannot recommend Danielle highly enough. She exceeded every expectation we had. We are beyond grateful for everything she did for us and our fur babies, and we would trust her with them again in a heartbeat. She is truly an absolute gem, and anyone would be incredibly lucky to have her caring for their pets. We definitely look forward to having her stay again❤️

Nathan was great with Sascha! He’s the first pet sitter we’ve had that actively played with her while she was awake! He treated her like his own pup, which was greatly appreciated! We’ll definitely use him again!

Outstanding! Their care for our Westie and our cats was great, and their affection for pets was evident in every message. Excellent communication.

This was our third time having Kris take care of our dog. She is always responsive and reliable. She does an amazing dog taking care of our dog and our home. She goes above and beyond. Would highly recommend.

Maddie was on time and took great care of our old dog and our home. She shared pictures which helped put us at ease. I will definitely use her again.

ROSEY ROCKS! She took great care of our dog, Maggie while we were gone over a long weekend for a big wedding in the family. We got updates daily which was a real comfort as this was Maggie's longest bout without her family. Came home to find Maggie calm ( for Maggie) and happy to see us. Rosey follows all instructions very carefully and left our house in excellent order. Thank you, Rosey!

Anne was great with Panini got lots of updates and she took really good care of her!

Kailyn was so great!! She checked in with us regularly, sent us cute pics throughout the week, and followed our dog’s schedule (even his weird meal times)! Originally we were nervous to leave our dog for so long, especially being so far away, but Kailyn made us feel very comfortable leaving him with her!! We will definitely reach out to Kailyn again and would recommend her to anyone. :)

I felt no stress leaving our cat and home in LaTrice's care. She is a great communicator and all went well with her stay. She would be my first choice of sitter for any future trips we take!

Kristen was awesome!! Sent many updates and was very understanding/patient with my dog’s resource guarding. I can tell her and my dog have become best buds!

Abigail was great with all my dogs and cats! She was so sweet, they loved her! She was so easy to work with and a great communicator. She came by for a long visit before we left town. I will definitely call her again!

Paige was easy to communicate with before and during her stay, and she took great care of cat! Will definitely book with her again

Hennessey did great with our reactive 55 lb dog and left our place cleaner than she found it. Will be booking again!
