Dog Sitting in Sebastian

Sarah was a fantastic sitter very loving toward Frankie and very conscientious of the home. I would highly recommend her to anyone it put me at ease to know that Frankie was with somebody who really cared.

As always it was wonderful to have Carly staying in our home. Guinness was well taken care of and very happy when we arrived home. Communication was excellent. Thank you for taking care of our home and our pet Carly!

Robert and Florence took such great care of our Curly. We could tell he was well loved while we were out of town. I had mentioned to them about Curly’s bad breath and Florence provided some suggestions and took action to help! Curly’s breath issues are gone! Thank you! Robert and Florence were flexible with us. Our flights home got very delayed and we were not going to be home in time for their planned departure. They were open to driving Curly over to my sister’s house 20-25 minutes away so he had care until we got home. We were comfortable having Robert and Florence in our home and appreciated their updates on Curly. Thanks again!

Erin was great keeping us up to date and left the house cleaner than it was before we left! Erin is very detail-oriented and will give your pets a great deal of love while you’re away.

I have so many good things to say about Sharon and Dennis! First, they are lovely people with whom I instantly felt comfortable. (They have some family in the neighborhood, so I met them a few months before our sit). Sharon is very organized and communicative, taking time to ensure their arrival and our departure were synced. I could tell they read the manual front to back since she asked great questions about our pups and daily routine. They sent daily pictures of their long walks through the Stanford campus and updated us on our pet's shenanigans. We returned to a spotless house, a lovely note, and wine! They are in high demand for excellent reasons, and I would love to have them sit for us again.

MaryAnn and Gary were great! We had a bit of a bumpy start and had to make other arrangements for most of the first day but they had a lot going on so it was understandable. The things that were important to us went really well -- Oreo & Cassie were both happy and safe and we got lots of photos of the cats toward the end of the sit -- and the house was in good condition when we returned. We checked in with MaryAnn & Gary regularly and they didn't need anything so they seemed to be very self-sufficient. We had mentioned in the house guide that they didn't need to do the tedious food tracking we usually do for Oreo's oncologist but they went above & beyond and jotted down feedings anyway. This couple is very kind and will take very good care of your home and fur kids so you can focus on being present and in the moment while you're away. Our hearts go out to them for everything they had going on when the sit was happening.

Wow! Jeana and Mark we’re absolutely 5 star amazing. They took such great care of Hank and Hailey and they left our home spotless! Thank you so much. It was so great to know that they were in such great care, and we never had to worry. We hope our paths cross again! Thank you!!

Cynthia and Robert are a delightful couple. Well travelled and easygoing. They arrived prepared and had read the information regarding our house and dogs despite having travelled all day. They are very organised and self-sufficient, organising all travel to the area as well as a delight to sit down and talk with. While away, we received regular updates and a delicious meal upon returning. The dogs were well cared for and we could tell they also enjoyed their company. Happy dogs, clean home and delightful company. Thank you Bob and Cynthia. We hope you have a lovely time in Iceland.

Shannon was awesome, paid attention to my pups needs and left the place cleaner than she found it!

I had a troubling experience with Victoria that I feel is necessary to share because I believe it’s important for others in this community to be aware of what happened.   Victoria informed me she was leaving day 6 into an 18 day stay with a little more than 12 hours notice while I was 600 miles away with no backup plan for our dog Jackson.    The first few days with Jackson went well. She communicated when I reached out along with pictures of them laying together on the couch and getting along very well.  On day 6 she texted me to say Jackson had growled at her while physically trying to get him up from laying on her.  She said she was frightened and asked if I had anyone else that could watch him.   I immediately called her to try to understand what happened and explained that he was most likely startled rather than wanting to attack her. As I was asking questions about the incident, as I felt I had a right to do, she became extremely defensive and yelled at me on the phone. Admittedly my voice was heightened due to panic but I did not yell. I was simply trying to understand the extreme change in her demeanor from previously texting me she doesn’t easily get flustered, stressed or live in fear to being so frightened she wanted to leave. Knowing my questions upset her I apologized however after ending our call she immediately texted and said she was leaving at 10am.   Despite repeatedly telling her that my son, who lives nearby, was out of town, and that I had no other options, she showed no consideration for my situation. Her decision to simply leave our dog stranded was incredibly distressing. I had to cancel my evening plans to find alternate arrangements for the remainder of our trip, which, happens to be my other son’s wedding.   While there are other details that aren’t directly related to her pet-sitting duties, I believe it’s important to highlight the lack of professionalism and consideration she showed. I hope this review helps others make an informed decision through my experience.
