Dog Sitting in Nelson

Bernadette bonded very quickly with our dog Molly and took great care of her, surpassing our expectations eg she combed her even though we had not asked her to (she did ask us if it was ok first!) She was aware that Molly can sometimes be reactive and managed her as we do by being observant and avoiding potential situations. She was easy to contact, from the first zoom interview and throughout her stay. She kept us up to date and worry free and left the house in good condition. We are happy to recommend Bernadette and look forward to having her come again.

ML was a fantastic sitter for Maisie and Chester. She bonded with the dogs very quickly and looked after them so well, including needing to administer quite a few drugs to Chester for most of her stay. ML was communicative and always kept in touch with us, providing regular updates on our beloved dogs and all their adventures with her. ML also looked after the house incredible well and it was spotless when we returned. I would have no hesitation in recommending ML to house sit and we very much hope she will return to sit for Maisie and Chester again.

Andrea was everything I hoped from a pet sitter. She is caring, responsive, and trustworthy. She treated my home and my baby as her own. I came home to a house that was probably even more tidy than when I left (quite a relief after travel). I also got daily photos that were absolutely beautiful and showed me how happy my pet was in her care. I hope Andrea will sit with us again! Thank you, Andrea!

Trevor is amazing. Trustworthy, capable and independant. What more could you want from someone taking care of your home and pets.

Linda is a fantastic house/pet sitter and all around wonderful person. From the moment I started talking with Linda, she was communicative, warm, personable and really cared about my cat Honeykins. Linda kept me updated with emails and whatsapp messages intermittently when I was away which was perfect. I totally truseted Linda in my home and would have her stay again in a heartbeat. I highly recommend Linda for any pet/house sit.

Katie was simply the absolute best house sitter I could have asked for. She was reliable, very accommodating with the dates I needed a sitter for, and stayed in touch before and during the house sit. My dog loved her instantly and I got updates and pictures of their daily adventures during my whole trip. I came home to a happy dog and a wonderfully clean space. I can't say enough good things about the experience! I would 100% trust her with my home and dog again!

Lesley and her mom, Rebecca, sat for our 3 cats and 1 young dog. They are both upbeat and very smart. We enjoyed a dinner together before I left town, which helped reassure me that they were a great fit. Lesley and her mom love animals and hit it off very well with our VERY active 1 year old mini bernedoodle, who is very clever and likes to see if he can coerce new people to do his bidding. They were very consistent with reinforcing the training I am working on and added some of their own. I could tell he really loved them both. The cats seemed very happy and well cared for. During the week, our dog had some vomiting and Lesley set up a vet appointment and did a great job managing some meds for the rest of the week and kept a detailed log of both his feeding and medication. She communicated promptly with me when they decided it might be smart to have him checked out at the vet. When we returned, Lesley gave us a very thorough debrief. The house was super tidy and they went above and beyond (changing the cat litter, etc.) I would say that if you are someone who wants a lot of pictures and updates, you should be specific. Lesley is happy to provide same, but also is very self sufficient and does not send a lot of updates unless there is something to report or unless you request. They were great sitters and I would happily use them again.

5 star all around review! I would give 6 stars, if available. Melanie was extremely responsive - from before the sit began and we texted about start time, organizational stuff - she was always responsive to my texts to sending me updates/photos nearly every day, while I was away. She kept me abreast of how my fur babies were doing. Her responsiveness alleviated any hesitations I may have had. I must admit, I was initially concerned about having a family stay in my house, but her daughters are extremely well behaved and the house was in exactly the same condition as when I left it. They are super considerate people. They not only took care of my pets, but they took my dog, Ruby with them on all their outings and Ruby had a great time. They seemed to genuinely enjoy my pets the way I do, rather than viewing this as a job. They kindly even prepared me lunch after my arrival home. I would have them come back anytime. Highly recommend!

Ken and Susan were meticulous in maintaining our home and caring for our cats. They sent regular updates both for our cats and home condition/issues. We would gladly have them house sit for us again.

We couldn't have been more delighted with Joanne & Jim. When they arrived we immediately liked them and knew that they would fit in with our home & animals. We returned to find the house immaculate, they had even made a cake for us. We would love them to return one time if they are here.
