Dog Sitting in Burke County

I can’t tell you how lucky I feel that Barbara and John were available for my housesit. They were so fabulous on their first sit two years ago that I actually reached out to them to see if they would sit for me again on this trip – luckily they were! My cat is very fond of both of them. It was also wonderful to come home to a meticulously clean house, especially after a 27 hour travel day. They even bought fresh milk, eggs and bread so we would not have to run out first thing when we got home. Barb and John will continue to be my first choice whenever we travel!

This was our second house sit with Hannah and David. As was the case last time, we came home to such a happy, exercised, fit and well-loved Riley. Riley couldn’t decide who to go to next for pets and loves between the four of us. The house was spotless and even with an early morning flight the morning after our return, the beds were stripped and the trash was taken out. Riley got to go places with David and Hannah. They took her to Bark at the Park, they took her to early dinners at outdoor restaurants and they took her on new hikes. There was plenty of cuddle time and we received photos that kept us up to date on their adventures and quiet time. Honestly, we didn’t need to check in but felt totally comfortable with Riley’s care (free to be on vacation) during our three week trip abroad. As many of you will know, who have fur babies that they adore, this is saying something!! Thanks David and Hannah!! We welcome you back any time!!

Pennee and Bill were excellent sitters for Guga. They arrived the night before our trip so we could enjoy dinner and getting to know each other. They kept us informed with photos about Guga and his escapades to the beach, on his walks at Dolphin Head or just cuddling with them at home. Our home was immaculate and our plants were all doing well. Thank you Pennee and Bill for your stay with Guga. Hope to see you soon in the future. Cheers 😎😎😎

Rose and Bruce were amazing sitters, and we welcome them back any time! Rose was communicative leading up to the designated dates and we really appreciated that they were willing to come a day early to meet us and the dogs, walk with us, allow us to show them our routine and ask questions we hadn't thought of. We were able to leave for our trip knowing that our girls were in great hands. We came home to happy dogs and a very clean and tidy home.

We were so fortunate to have Virginia care for our shy golden doodle. Her warm personality helped break Curly out of his shell and during our meet and greet, I felt very comfortable leaving Curly in her capable hands. Virginia gave us updates on how Curly was doing and left our home spotless. She took care of the trash and mail, was self sufficient and allowed us to enjoy our quick vacation. A+ Pet Sitter.

Our cat and dog loved grace. Would love to have her back.

Ally and Peter were caring, responsible pet sitters. They took the time to clearly learn the routines for our pets, asking pertinent questions prior to the sit. Their experience and loving care were evident. Milo, Shoop and Charcoal were quick to settle in with them. We appreciated the numerous pictures and communication while we were gone. Ally and Peter were a pet-sitting team that allowed us to travel feeling secure that our pets were safe and sound. Our home was well-cared for, too. We would highly recommend them. Thank you, Ally and Peter!

Jill is like family now.💕We are always so happy to have her back - she knows our home and our neighbors and the routine, the pets love her and she is sweet and organized and efficient. She always sends delightful pics of Bert and Ollie and Piper and Lucy and this time was no different - lots of action pics of the pups running on the island behind our house and I could almost smell the pic of whatever Burt rolled in. Thank goodness for the outdoor shower. We love having her come a day early to catch up on her latest sits and adventures and because she had done several sits in Vermont, she brought us maps and gave us a ton of fun recommendations to do on our trip. Truly a special lady. As always Jill, we appreciate you and love having you here.

Jessica cheerfully endured a sit where she had to deal with a lot of rainy weather and a dog who likes to go on walks regardless of the weather - he’s a Lab, so I think he actually enjoys the rain! She maintained such a good attitude about everything and she sent several photos of the two of them snuggling on the couch when they were stuck indoors. I should also mention that she is excellent with communication during the sit, and she left my house very neat and clean. I felt that Hudson got lots of loving attention and was very well-cared-for. I would recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a great sitter!

Kent and Kathy were just terrific!! They took care of our home as if it was there own as well as taking care of our fur babies. Their communication was spot on, every time we called they answered right away to assure us that Sweet Pea and Rufus were getting along just fine. I can't believe that Kathy even made home made soup that was waiting for us when we returned home. This was so appreciated after being on the road for as long as we were. We can't say enough about how pleased we were of our house sitters. We would welcome Kathy and Kent anytime for a return sit.
