Dog Sitting in Union County

On a scale of 1 to 5 (with 5 as best) we would rate Maria and Lu as 12 or better. They should be the poster people for all house/pet sitters. They dealt with a difficult situation when the Koi began to spawn and left the house better than they found it. They seemed to enjoy their stay and our dog loved them. They even did extra chores above and beyond such as cleaning the BBQ, changing light bulbs, and organizing the garage. Communication was excellent and they even left several home cooked meals for us so that we would not have to cook on our first day back. We invited them back for another stay in August and they accepted. We feel that we not only found great sitters, but great friends that we hope to see often in the future.

Angel and Benny were just amazing! Easy to communicate with, extremely reliable, and impeccably clean. They are definitely true blue dog people and I felt so good knowing they were taking care of our sweet buddy! I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Joel and Fiorella were awesome. They took great care of our 2 cats, dog, and house while we were away. The house was just as clean as when we left, if not cleaner. We received pictures of our fur babies while we were gone, which we appreciated very much. We would definitely recommend them.

So great! They took good care of our cats, highly recommend :)

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.

We were so pleased with the care Rachel provided for our pets and house while we were away for 3 weeks in the summer that we asked her to housesit for us a second time over a long weekend. She is very trustworthy and caring about the pets, sending reassuring photos and videos while we were away. The house was once again left in immaculate condition. One of our cats was having a problem with diarrhea, and she dutifully took good care of her. I highly recommend Rachel (and her family) without hesitation as a trusted house and pet sitter!

Deb and Don were awesome! Everything at the house was absolutely fine, but more importantly, my fur babies were well cared for and happy! This is so important to us, and we are so very thankful to Deb and Don 💝

Kassidy is a blessing! It felt completely effortless communicating with her ahead of the sit. She went above and beyond by accepting to also take care of two kittens we were fostering. Everything went super smoothly. We were away for two weeks, with our wedding in the middle, and weren't always able to check our phones, but we were totally at ease knowing that our pets were in good hands while still receiving daily updates. We also received several pictures of our pup on the beach, looking like she was living her best life. Very happy with this sit and would happily invite Kassidy back!

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.

We had an incredible experience with Mark! He is clearly a dog lover, took amazing care of our pup Wally (sending us daily pics and updates), and left our place extremely clean. I would absolutely recommend Mark and Melissa if you are looking for some loving people to hang out with your pets!
