Pet Sitting in Plain View

Julie and Scott were spectacular house/pet sitters! They were very thorough with asking questions and understanding Murphy’s routine. They sent lots of pictures. They left the house clean (even washed the towels and sheets they used!) Can’t say enough good things about them. We highly recommend them and will definitely ask them back!!!

Both Mariia and Anton were delightful, arrived in good time, listened carefully, paying attention to details and clarifying things I hadn't even thought about. They were thoughtful and kind before, during, and after their time here. Odin took to them immediately and seemed just fine with my leaving. They were unusually gracious about the AC going out pretty soon after I left, even when a serviceman couldn't come until the end of the Sit. They understand the dynamics of increasing air flow to cool down a house and made that happen. When I got home they'd planned on having me join them for the supper they made, which I did. We had a lovely chat during the meal and afterwards about many things. So good to get to know them better. The house was in great shape, all clean and in order. Odin was happy to see me, but still wanted to be with them too. A good sign. We had breakfast they'd made the next morning, then spent a while saying our good-byes, including Odin. I would love to have them stay at Dancing Oaks again. A Great First Zeewoi experience.

Looove these 2! So organized, great communication, provided updates on the regular, left the house immaculate. My dog seemed to love the. They made her feel relaxed and comfortable, and I think she really enjoyed their company. Would highly recommend and would absolutely use again!

It was wonderful meeting Brandy. She took excellent care of Willow. She sent me pictures and managed Willow’s separation anxiety very well. My home was well cared for during this short visit.

I could not have asked for better pet sitters for Avery than Mary and Johnny. Avery, an abused dog, is difficult to deal with at the beginning of a sit. She does not trust people, nor will she get close to them. But, through patience and love, Mary and Johnny were able to win over Avery during the sit. They took her on many walks. When your neighbors tell you that Mary and Johnny were the best pet sitters I’ve ever had, you know they were outstanding. It is my hope that they will want to return and take care of Avery on another sit. They were definitely six out of five stars!!!!!

If there was a 10 star rating available, Jason and Angel would get it. Not only did they take care of Suki so that she immediately became smitten, the house was immaculate when I arrived home. Even neighbors have commented to me about this wonderful couple. Ten thumbs up to them both

Having Deb here was an absolute delight. She showed up with toys and treats for my cat, Boy. He was instantly enamored. She sent me amazing updates and pictures every day, which put me so at ease because I knew Boy was having a great time while I was away. She even got him some more treats to try while she was here. When I got back, my apartment looked exactly how I left it and Deb even washed all the sheets and put them back on the bed for me. Boy was relaxed and happy. I couldn’t recommend a sitter more and I’d be overjoyed to have her back anytime.

Sandra was very experienced and took good care of our dog Stella. Unfortunately, we found that our communication styles did not really mesh. Weeks before the sit, if we did not reply to Sandra instantly she got rather frantic and seemed overly anxious about the details of the sit. We always want our house sitters to feel comfortable and know what they are walking into, but it was a bit difficult to manage the level of communication Sandra required in advance of her stay. During the stay, our emergency contact was also contacted for a simple question about a light switch, just hours after we had texted Sandra to check in and ask if she had any questions. Besides this, we are grateful for her help and our dog seemed to enjoy her time with Sandra.

This is the 4th time Sarah has sat for us. Needless to say, we wouldn't have her back again and again if she wasn't totally fantastic. She communicates with us every day with pictures of our fur babies. The house is always immaculate when we return. Her best attribute is that our kitties love hanging with Sarah. I couldn't give her any higher marks. Our cats miss her already!

Alyson rates more than a 5. We have had many great house/pet sitters over the years, but Alyson is in a league of her own. In the short sit of 4 days, Alyson managed to bond with all three of our pets as well as take excellent care of our home.
