House Sitting in Ettrick

Damita is terrific! My dog loves spending time with her, and Damita always goes above and beyond. I would recommend her to anyone!

This the first time that Crystal watched our dog and we came home to a very happy pup! I appreciated that Crystal clearly loves dogs, is a great communicator, and took great care of our pup!!!

Meghan was wonderful! My anxious dog usually takes a while before getting used to new people, but was calm within minutes of meeting Meghan. She sent us updates, was quick to respond if we had any questions, and she even brought our mail in and swept the floors so that we wouldn't have dog hair to clean when we came home from out of town. It was a relief to know that our fur babies were in good hands. She'll be first on our list for the next time we need a sitter!

Our Bernedoodle Layla loves having Joseph over. Great sitter.

Melanie is the sweetest person and an amazing dog and house sitter. She communicates so well and sends great picture and video updates. She treats our house like her own - it was spotless when we got back. She even stayed later bc our flight took so long. We will definitely rebook and I can’t recommend her enough!

Ada did a wonderful job with our Lucy! Lucy is a rescue and sometimes a little hard to warm up to strangers, but she went straight to Ada when she came in the door! Ada left the house in great condition and did everything we asked her to do. She is definitely at the top of the River list for us!

She was amazing either way our lil pup, and he doesn’t like just anyone. She sent pictures to reassure us that our Waylon was fine during our outing. I would highly recommend her.

My family and I left on a 4 day adventure and Mandy watched our 1.5 year old male aussie. Finn instantly loved Mandy when we did our meet and greet. Mandy was easy to talk to, attentive to the instructions I gave and spoke up to get an answer if I forgot something. During our time away she sent pictures of thier time together which was wonderful because you miss your fur baby so it was nice to see him enjoying himself. Mandy also stayed in contact in general, letting me know if she had to leave the house and a time she would return which i appreciated knowing what was going on. Mandy was very respectful of our house while there and even went above and beyond by washing the sheets and towels used before we returned home. I would highly recommend Mandy to house sit or even just for dog walking.

Andrew was an extraordinary sitter for our Maine Coon cat, Simi. He clearly adores animals, he was invested in supporting our routines with her, his communication was great – – at least one funny picture each day!— he was extremely responsive to our questions, and initiated appropriate communication as needed. He also did a couple of wonderful new things – – she got her used to her automated new litter box, which she is now using regularly, and he invented a new game for her with the treats that we usually give her, that we are continuing to do now that we are back. We loved having Andrew be Simi‘s new best friend, and we have already re-booked him for our next trip.
