Dog Sitting in Gilman

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!

This is the third time Nynne has petsit for me. My pets love her and she loves them back! She is a 5-star sitter in every way. I can't recommend her enough!

Angela was marvelous! Not only was she flexible and was able to wait until I recovered from COVID, but she met us in advance of the sit dates, she knew just what to do to let my new trauma rescue pup warm up to her and she is a delight to get to know. Bumble was happy to see me come home, but I think he misses his cuddles from Angie. Both he and I are anxious for Angie to come back for a fun visit.

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.

Scott was wonderful taking care of our two dogs and two cats, and also our house! The dogs went on some great adventures and the cats were very comfortable at home. We stayed in touch regularly and Scott sent pictures of the animals which made us happy. When we returned, our pets were happy and the house was clean and tidy. Scott even fixed some lighting issues for us. We would highly recommend Scott! He takes this job very very seriously. We had total peace of mind while we were away and would ask Scott to sit again in a heartbeat!

‘”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!

This is the second time that we've had Tami stay with our boys and once again, she did a wonderful job! She stayed for three weeks and took care of our two cats and our 6 year old yellow Lab, Koen. She made sure that he got his two outings every day, either walks or to the dog park. She was great in sending us lots of photos of them all and she always communicates if she has any issues or questions. She left the house in great shape too. I highly recommend Tami, as she will take great care of your pets and your house while you're gone. We're really hoping that she can come back again next summer!

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!!

We loved having Sue stay in our home and care for our zoo! From the moment she reached out we felt good about moving forward with her - not only did she already have great reviews, her initial message to us was detailed and thoughtful. Sue was quick to respond to our messages and texts, arrived and left when she said she would, and left our place clean! All the animals were in good spirits when we returned. We would be glad to have Sue back at our home :) The only thing we would ask for next time is that Finn be left outside on the last day as we had a very long travel day and he can't be left inside for more than a few hours. We will clarify this for future sits. Thank you again, Sue!!
