Cat Sitting in Snowmass

In addition to being a VERY TRUSTED house/pet sitter, he is the best "updater" I've ever had. He would take the dogs on outings and report some hilarious antics -- then he'd post cuddly stories, and fun stories. The dogs were extremely well taken care of. It is obvious he cares about his charges -- whether cats or dogs... or I'm assuming anything else. He's personable, funny, intelligent and you can pretty much trust him with your most valued possessions. When my finicky eater was worried about her, he asked if he could cook her some chicken so she'd eat. Even thought I wasn't worried about her -- he was. So he cooked her some yummy chicken, which she of course loved. I'm booking him a year in advance while I can still get on his calendar. Add to that, the fact that he left the house in immaculate shape. Oh did I mention -- while we were gone, it snowed 20 inches, and he shoveled the snow off our 23 three outside stairs in the front, the back stairs, and part of the back deck. WAY outside the call of duty.

Mark was great with our dog and communicated well with us before and throughout our trip. He let us know when our dog was approached by an aggressive dog and kept us updated about our dog's anxiety after the event so we could give advice on how to care for him. Mark also did a good job cleaning up before he left. We hope to have Mark sit for us again in the future.

Amelia was terrific! She came over early to meet the dogs and was very accommodating with our travel schedule which was delayed due to the big internet issues. The dogs were happy when we got home and we were grateful Amelia was with them.

Though only a short house sit we were very happy with how Maia and the house were looked after. Lovely to meet Donna and Felix, they made the most of their time for being in Glasgow.

We got to meet Ben in person before heading out and he was lovely to interact with. Upon returning home, our house was clean, tidy and put together - he even washed our sheets which was most appreciated. Our cats were chill and while delighted to see us, clearly had been very well cared for. My only feedback for Ben is perhaps being more pro-active on checking in with the pet parents on their pets and before vacating the home. Ben was great with communicating once I reached out first and I had requested every other day picture of the cats/health & wellness report as they are sensitive ladies and sometimes get weird when their people leave. This is minor overall as Ben was clear about his needs for his stay and did a wonderful job in our home and with our cats. Thank you Ben, we'd love to have you back!

‘”Exceptional” is the first word that comes to mind when reviewing Kate’s sit! I was very nervous about a stranger coming into my home and taking care of my beloved dogs for a whole month. As soon as I communicated with Kate all my anxieties disappeared. Her communication skills are excellent. She listened closely to my care instructions for the dogs, the house, and garden needs. She took care of the dogs and the house as if they were her own. My dogs Luke and Blue were very content and loved their daily walks/hikes. Her dog, Sturgill, is an easy-going, well-behaved dog. Sturgill became instant best buddies with Blue. Kate was responsive to various situations that arose. When one dog was sick, she immediately took care of the situation, taking the dog to my vet and making sure he received the proper care. I received daily communication, pictures of the dogs, and any pertinent news. When I returned home, I was so pleased to see how clean and tidy the house looked. There was food in the refrigerator, fresh flowers in a vase on the kitchen counter, and two well-adjusted, happy dogs. Kate is compassionate, trustworthy, and responsible. I couldn’t have asked for more. I can highly recommend Kate!

Sara and Christophe took awesome care of Ricky. He was outdoors a lot with them and their sweet dog, Lily. And he was tired at night -- which we love. We got photos of good times; they asked all the right questions; and they left us a really good summary of things at the end. Our house was perfectly clean when we returned. We were so happy to have them here, and hope they'll be back!

Such a great pet-sitter

We had the pleasure of welcoming Melanie as our pet and house sitter, and our experience was mostly positive. Melanie proved to be very reliable from the outset, ensuring we had a video chat before her arrival to familiarize with our home and pets. Melanie and her partner were a delightful couple, leaving our home neat and tidy upon departure. The regular updates with pictures of our dog were a thoughtful touch that we greatly appreciated. However, there were a few areas where our instructions were not fully adhered to. Despite our clear guidance to take our dog for two walks daily, this routine was not consistently followed. Additionally, their time away from the house exceeded the three-hour maximum we had specified. Another point of concern was the mix-up with the pet food; dog food was inadvertently placed in the cat food container. While we understand mistakes can happen, a more upfront communication about this mix-up would have been preferred. Despite these issues, it was evident that Melanie treated our home with respect and care. We believe that with clearer communication, Melanie would be a good pet sitter for future assignments.

Laura was everything we asked for and could have wanted for Molly. After meeting Laura it was immediately obvious that she has a special love for animals . She brought with her Pipkin, a rescue from the streets of Mexico, and they both got on just great, as Laura had said would happen. I think that Molly felt like she was on a vacation too! Our house was spotless and everything looked great when we arrived home. We never had trouble communicating, and received lots of pictures at our request. She listened to our concerns about Molly’s special needs (don’t disturb when sleeping, etc) and made sure that Molly was always happy and fed . We would not hesitate to ask her to come back in the future. Thank you Laura for being a great pet sitter for our Molly!!
