Dog Sitting in Haney

This was our second sit by Angela and Mark and we hope to have them back again whenever they are available! Our cat, Jack, was happy to see them when they arrived. They took excellent care of our condo and Jack. They sent cute photos of Jack while we were away! Everything was perfect when we arrived home.

Rebecca and Wayne have sat for me several times. They are great with the dogs and are a lovely friendly couple. The dogs love them and they were very well taken care of. My house was clean, neat and tidy when they left. I highly recommend Rebecca and Wayne. I would have them back again anytime!

Melinda was an AMAZING HouseSitter! She asked really thoughtful questions and went above and beyond in taking care of my home. In terms of my cats, she was absolutely wonderful; Melinda had patience and (more quickly than most) coaxed my quiet cat out. She also had a lot of patience with my energetic, mischievous little one! I am so appreciative and look forward to having Melinda come again.

Alisha and her daughter Kati were so amazing! They planned the sit as a mother/daughter writers retreat (I'm truly excited to read Kati's book!) They were able to come by the house before I left on my trip so I was able to give them the full tour - I really love when sitters make the time to do that. Oh! And get this! Alisha read my entire Welcome Guide before arriving which honestly blew my mind. During the tour, she asked about specific things that I mentioned in the Guide and we were able to cover her questions straight away. Alisha & Kati also showed up with all their food & supplies so they wouldn't have to leave to get them after arriving - that's so smart! Alisha says she does this so the animals are less stressed out. She really is a true professional. I ended up hanging out with them a little longer than planned because they were so awesome. When I finally did grab my bags to head out I noticed that Kati was sitting on the floor playing with my dog and cat - loved that! During the sit, Alisha gave me updates here and there - but I wasn't bombarded by them. They also were able to coordinate with us to plan the best departure time so the animals wouldn't be alone too long before Kenny and I got home. When we arrived home the animals were exceptionally calm and I swear the house was cleaner than we left it. All in all, they were the best and we would definitely have them back in heartbeat.

Elizabeth was an amazing pet and house sitter! She was very reliable and kept in good touch with me throughout her stay. My house and 2 cats were well cared for and I returned to a clean home and happy pets. I highly recommend her to anyone.

Dave and Elle did an excellent job taking care of our two fur babies, one who is a senior and takes medication 3 times a day. Elle sent us just about daily Pupdates and our two were always smiling in their photos. We wouldn’t hesitate to have Dave and Elle sit our loves again!

Karin did a great job taking care of our girls, Millie and Winnie! The house was perfect just as we left it. Karin is timely and good at communication. She sent photos of the girls, and gave us updates. We would use Karin again as our sitter anytime. You can tell she loves animals and is so kind. Karin even helped me out of a tough spot and took Millie to the groomers for me!!! Thank you Karin for taking such good care of our girls! Cheers Angela & Brad, Millie & Winnie

Noelle and Steven were a perfect fit for us. They arrived a day early to get acclimated to the house and our pets. They communicated with us frequently, which was appreciated since we were away for 12 days. The cats were well taken care of, one was not eating well before we left and Noelle went out of her way to find different foods to encourage her to eat which was very much appreciated. The house was immaculate when we returned. We would definitely welcome them back and we highly recommend them for a future sit!

Jane is not a recommended petsitter if you have cats or if you want the house to be treated properly when you are away. 1) When she arrived the day before our departure, she didn’t show any interest in the cats, I had to suggest her several times to interact with the kitties in order to make sure the cats were used to her smell. 2) She acted in a superior attitude when I was giving instructions about how to feed the cats or understand their routines. 3) Since the moment we posted the sit offer, we were clear about the simple tasks: feed the cats 3 times a day, play with them, brush them, keep the house safe and clean, inform twice a day about what the cats ate with photos and videos. Her level of communication was minimum by whatsapp. Example of messages “Nala has not appeared yet this morning”, “not much to report”, “everyone has eaten well”, “all well fed”, “too busy feeding, taking pictures and answering your texts” 4) When we arrived the house was dirty (her bathroom had not been cleaned at all, she had not vacuumed nor mopped the floor, the kitchen was sticky) the basic rules of the house were cleaning the floor, kitchen (to avoid ants) and I specified the products to clean bathroom/toilet before leaving. The minimum ALL petsitters had done in the past before leaving were cleaning the basic areas. 5) Two windows were unlocked, when safety issues were explained as a main concern. The biggest window with access from the street was not locked with the screw (anyone could have entered the house) and the window of the guest room was not locked with the handle 6) She never sent a message after leaving the house making sure everything was ok and telling us if the cats were ok. Conclusion: We could clearly see she doesn’t like animals, especially cats, she came just to have a free place to visit the area (which is a very touristic place, mainly this time of the year, when the accommodations are really expensive), she had a bossy attitude and was clearly annoyed by our explanations of how to take care of the cats and house, her communication was not fluid (I had to send a message asking her how were the cats almost every day in order to get feedback), she was a person that clearly did not care about the basic level of cleaning. The only thing she did was feeding the cats at least once a day. When we arrived the cats were really hungry.

Tania and her family did a great job taking care of our four dogs! She kept us updated on the pups with regular pictures and videos. We came home to four happy dogs and a tidy and clean home. She even left fresh flowers in the kitchen! We can’t thank her and her family enough and we recommend her for your next sit!
