Cat Sitting in Teller County

Always love when Lisa and Rock come to watch the girls. They are reliable and I don't have to worry about a thing.

Having Den and Annie stay with Thor, Tulsi, Garnet and Moonshadow was the best peace of mind I could have asked for. Not only was I able to focus on my work I had the ability to sleep while I was away without the worry that the fur-kids were having a challenge with me being gone. Den is an excellent communicator, provided photos and great commentary of the events on a daily basis. He is clean, organized and I came back to my home in perfect order! The fur-kids were happy and Tulsi did not display any signs of separation anxiety!! What an amazing sit! Annie is sweet and well mannered. She gets along with all fur friends without any challenges. I can’t express my appreciation to Den and Annie for providing the companionship that the gang needed while I was away on work. Den and Annie are welcome back to our place anytime. Our door is open and the fur kids welcome you both with open paws!

This is the 2nd time Helen has petsit for our kitties. We have had wonderful sitters, but Helen is still our favorite! She is very self sufficient and reliable! She stayed with us both times prior to our visit and is a pleasure to have has a house guest. She even entertained all of our very curious 7 year olds questions all evening long. She sent cute photos of our kitties with updates as much as we needed. Like the first sit, our home was the cleanest it's ever been when returning home from a trip! We and our kitties feel very fortunate to have found her!

Carly was a wonderful house/pet sitter. I had total confidence in her taking care of my 3 Boxers and my home.

Candice is truly one of the best! She’s communicative, sends sweet photos of our kitties, is clean, and I was so comfortable trusting her with our home and cats. This was Candice’s second time sitting for us and I hope she can sit for us again in the future! I’m so happy to provide a high recommendation for her :)

Drew was terrific with River and Bodie. They were completely comfortable with him immediately. He knew how to introduce himself in a way the dogs understood right off. We really appreciated how well he documented their walks and letting us know how things were going. We had a SNAFU on scheduling (our fault), and Drew handled it with grace. We showed up a day earlier than expected (with no time for him to prep the house for our return), and everything was happy, dogs and house.

Scott was such a good person and excellent caretaker for Bubba! He was attentive to Bubbas needs and my dog loved him. He left my house really clean, was easy to connect with and a huge help. Thank you!!!!

If you are fortunate enough to have Nan and Sandy as your sitters, you will be able to fully exhale and relax on your trip. They are extremely organized, wholehearted, reliable, and thoroughly experienced. The moment they entered our home for a walk-through, our senior cat Poseidon instantly felt comfortable. They were wonderful about sending daily pictures, often with a dash of humor, and they even created a new cat toy for him, which continues to be a wild success. Our home was also just as clean as when we had left, which is of course a huge bonus. I hope we’ll be able to book them again in the future.

Having Mel and Peter as house sitters, as we did for 4+ weeks, will spoil you for everyone else who comes afterwards! Having met over Zoom and agreed dates they were great at staying in touch along the way, before the sit began to let us know where they were and what their travel plans were so we never had any concerns about them arriving on the due date. They then continued to communicate with us regularly throughout the time we were away: photos of the doggies on various daytrips (to places we hadn’t even been to!) and lazy evenings on the sofa made us smile and eased any possible worries. A delicious home cooked meal, supplies for the next few days, happy well looked after (ie spoiled!) doggos, and a clean home (with everything where we’d left it) on our return was our reward for having chosen our sitters so cleverly  Peter and Mel are hugely respectful of the fact that you’ve given them full access to your home, your belongings and your loved ones. They take their responsibilities very seriously and their attitude is they’re there to do the best they possibly can for you. If we can, we’d have them back in a heartbeat.

This was the only difficult sit we have had in several years and 17 different sitters with TH. It was originally planned for 6 weeks and we always meet our sitters for an orientation and to get a "vibe". She could not meet us ahead of time. However, since she had a five star rating, we took a risk and left without waiting for her arrival which was much later than expected. By the end of the first week we were frustrated with her irregular and snarky communications. (She was often too "ill" or "tired" to give us updates on our aged kitty.) At one point we were afraid she might need medical attention since we were unable to reach her for almost 24 hours so we asked a neighbor to check on her which she found very upsetting. Later, when the neighbors complained that a man who appeared to be living out of his car was parking at different places in our neighborhood and going to our home to stay the night we'd had enough. Since we were 2000 miles away, we contacted TH and our neighbors for help and ultimately told her to leave. After our neighbors escorted her off the property we discovered the kitty box was overflowing and his fresh water dish was empty. Our closed off master bedroom was being used as a storage facility for her/their personal items. To her credit however, she did take the time to vacuum and straighten while the neighbors waited to ensure a smooth exit. A neighbor immediately changed the locks and the garage door code. A troubling experience.
