Dog Sitting in Veradale

Nic and Leanna (and sweet Billy) were the perfect housesitters to have, and going forward we will be using them as the gold standard to live up to for our future sitters! They were very easy to communicate with prior to the sit and it was very apparent from the beginning that they were striving to be quality sitters and were pros at this! They arrived and departed when they said they would. They asked important questions about caring for our dog Benji. I got so many cute photos of Ben and all that they did with him. I have never had a pet sitter that spent so much time with Benji before! It was so nice to know that Ben was happy and cared for while we were out of the country. Plus, they went above and beyond to clean our home and leave it better than they found it! They were an absolute joy to have and I would welcome them back in a heartbeat if our schedules align again. Do yourself a favor and welcome them in as your sitter!!

Jess and Krysteen were amazing. They were true to their word regarding their schedule, stayed in touch with me throughout (including sending me sweet photos with Topanga), kept the house spotless and went above and beyond in preparing it for our return, and took great care of Topanga. I would be ecstatic if they returned!

Lisa and Fritz were great house/pet sitters and we would gladly have them sit again. They left our home, both inside and outside, clean and tidy. Our dogs, Lexi and McCoy were well looked after. It was a pleasure meeting Lisa and Fritz.

Was so lovely to meet Carl and Eileen. They were wonderful, caring and thoughtful pet sitters. Eileen sent regular photo updates and anecdotes so we could tell Annapurna was well looked after and up to her normal, comfortable behaviour. She also took good care of our house plant and even sent through some advice on caring for it (we lack green thumbs ourselves, so haven't figured out how to care for the plant as well as the cat!) We came home to a spotlessly tidy home and happy purring kitty. Couldn't ask for more. Thank you Carl and Eileen!!

Paula was wonderful all the way around! Both of our Labrador Retrievers, Rip & Huck, really liked her and when we came home it was apparent she had taken fantastic care of them. Paula was always responsive - prior to and during the pet/home sit and kept us up to date. When we asked for a couple photos during our get-away, she happily and quickly provided them. We came back to our home, orchard, and garden looking great just as we had left it. Paula is very endearing, trusting, kind, helpful, and responsible. We highly, highly recommend her - you'd be fortunate to have her stay in your home and watch your pets. We would love to have her again - she is always welcome in our home. Thank you, Paula!

Talia was very excited to help out with the housesit and after learning that one of my cats had just passed prior to the sit, she and Drew reassured me that they would provide lots of extra love and attention to Vinny and Mickey to help with the lose of our buddy. She was easy to communicate with and we had a good conversation about how she and Drew intended to make sure Vinny wasn't left at home for too long since she was working out of the house while she was here. Between the 2 of them, Drew was here with the pets while Talia worked. Talia sent photos and updates and didn't hesitate to reach out when she noticed that Mickey wasn't eating some of his food. They washed the sheets and towels prior to leaving and did a wipe down of counters, vacuumed floors, etc. Pets were happy and healthy upon my return. The house smelled like it has been closed up for most of the time so I opened the blinds and cracked some windows to get it smelling fresh again. No complaints otherwise.

Greg was absolutely magical with my cats. He quickly understood each cat's idiosyncrasies, and he particularly bonded with the shy and nervous Jewel, who, judging by the photos he sent, was very cozy and purr-y with him. Bertie also received many head-rubs and much affection. The cats were indeed beautifully cared for. The house was well-cared for as well, with everything shiningly clean and welcoming for me when I returned. Communication was easy and clear, by text once we had confirmed the sit. I was delighted to have Greg as a sitter, and would happily have him again. I think the cats would be glad to see him too.

Susan and Mike are the best! They have sat for us numerous times and never fail to impress us more with each visit. With our bougie poodle, who requires fresh water in a glass, homemade food and lots of snuggling, they never hesitate to accommodate his demanding needs, all while sending us hilarious updates on how he's doing. After they've gone, he always seems to be disappointed they've left. They are extremely reliable, flexible and organized. If given the opportunity, you should absolutely have them over for a sit.

Kym came from 'across the Pond' to look after Cupar from 19th to 31st August this year. From the outset she was competant, organised and reliable - taking excellent care of Cupar who obviously warmed to her very much as she made a huge effort to engage with him during both playtimes and the walks they shared over the period. Unfortunately, Cupar was unwell for some of the time during the Sit and throughout Kym and I were in daily contact with regards to his medication and care. I couldn't have wished for anyone else to have been there in my absence as she really 'pulled out all the stops' to stabilise his condition. I cannot thank her enough for all she did! Kym also very much enjoyed her time on Skye and her stay here at Roskhill Barn - leaving it very clean and tidy upon her departure. I would not hesitate to recommend her for any future Sits.

Amy went beyond expectations to make the dogs feel comfortable and calm. One of the dogs was pretty nervous and she was very patient & insightful regarding his needs. He is also leash walking much better (not pulling or reacting to other dogs) which I attribute to her. The house was clean. Amy was flexible, kind and loves dogs. We wouldn’t hesitate to have her back.
