House Sitting in North Ferrisburg

Kathleen is incredible! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. We had long-standing plans to be out of town for just 24 hrs and then 2 wks before, our house & pup-sitter told us she forgot she’d double-booked and couldn’t do it. We checked River immediately and found Kathy who lives a short distance away. Thankfully she was available and we met a few days later to show her the house and Mac’s normal procedures. We were impressed with her interaction with our little guy; he warmed up to her immediately and she listened to his schedule and quirks, asking useful questions. The next week, we confirmed the day before we left and Kathy arrived at the agreed-on time. She sent a picture of a very happy boy the next morning and was waiting when we got home. She’d already washed the linens and re-made the bed; everything was tidy (perhaps more so than when we left), and she told us how everything had gone. It was ideal; we certainly hope Kathy will return to ensure all’s well in our house again the next time we need to be away!

Matt does a great job every time he housesits in our home. We come back to calm cats and happy chickens. By the sounds of it, I think one of our cats in particular has been scheming how to make him stay longer, and will probably attempt to hide in his bag the next time around. :)

Janet has been terrific in caring for our rambunctious year old puppy. Wonderful in balancing fun, rest, and discipline. I would hire again in a newyork minute!

Beatrice watched our two pups on Christmas Eve which was a HUGE help, allowing us to travel for the holidays. We knew our boys were in good hands after they met her during the meet and greet. We will definitely be booking with her again!

Shannon took care of Bennie at my home for 2 nights/3 days. Everything went well, she was very responsive. She took him to some nice wooded trails for walks. The house was clean and Bennie was content when I returned. I would definitely have her walk Bennie and/or house sit again.

Always great having Meghan look after our socially anxious dog. She is great with handling emergency situations, calmly and patiently. We have a peace of mind whenever we have Meghan watch our dog and house.

Amalia was a gem for me and my dogs! She is an animal person and I trust her 100% with my animals!! She was very responsive to texts and super flexible. I appreciate that!
