Pet Sitting in Sherman

Elizabeth kept us regularly updated on activities with the dogs, including videos and pictures. In general she was excellent and proactive with all of her communication. We came home to a very clean and tidy house, but more importantly two very content and relaxed dogs! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anybody looking for a reliable sitter.

Richard was a great sitter for my dog, Willow, and Leopard Gecko, Godzilla! He was communicative ahead of the sit and we were able to make flexible changes to dates together. Richard asked to have his daughter visit during the sit which was great, as a dog lover her sent several photos of her snuggling with Willow. Overall very respectful of our home and all was well with the animals. Would welcome him back any time!

Jamie was a fantastic sitter! Before I left, we met twice to discuss my cats’ care. They had clearly read my instructions carefully and had a ton of relevant experience. During the sit, Jamie sent daily updates and pictures. I have a cat with health issues - they sent regular updates regarding his health, administered medication as needed, and checked in when they had questions. The cats clearly took to them quickly. I came back to happy and healthy pets and an apartment that was cleaner than when I left. I’d highly recommend Jamie!

Sharon is very organised and it was an easy job to set the first meeting between her and the cats. Sharon sent me photos and anecdotes daily and if she had any doubts about the cats behaviour she would ask me by message. Her messages were always sweet and full of details, which I really appreciated. I knew my cats and my apartment were in good hands and with the most reliable person. I returned to a clean apartment - cleaner that when I left even if she would probably deny it :-) - and to happy cats who, I could see it in their eyes, were wondering why the lady was not staying longer with them ! I highly recommend Sharon and hope to have her return in the future.

What do you say about the repeat house sitters who are already perfect? We were lucky enough to secure Mark and Deb for a 2 month stay. They have sat for us multiple times before, so there was no second guessing (and a little yip of excitement from me and our kitty) when their offer to sit came through. Mark and Deb are great at communicating, very reliable, and fantastic at pet care as seen by multiple pictures showing Ricky being played with and sitting in their laps (we were a little jealous) while we were away. I think Mark and Deb are true cat lovers. A 2 month sit means real life living, not just a few days or a week. I mean they had to eat and shower, right? We came home to a house that was so neat and clean we couldn't tell they were there except for the notes they left behind. They reached out with questions or concerns, let us know when packages arrived, took out the garbage, did all the asks like plant watering and filling bird feeders outside, and took great care of our little Ricky. If you're lucky enough to get them, go for it. Mark and Deb are always welcome at our house.

Paul was an amazing sitter for our cat, Coco. Coco is particular and Paul handled her beautifully. We came back to a spotless home and Coco was a well-cared for cat. We highly recommend Paul.

Amy did a great job caring for our home and pets last week. Everything was in good order when we returned. Both the barn and house were very clean and tidy, and she helped reorganize my pantry (which was in rough shape after significant entertaining over the holidays.) Even with the cold temperatures and snowfall, she was able to keep up with the outdoor chores and manure management in the paddocks. Skipper, Apollo and Riba enjoyed all the extra attention she gave them. It was also very nice to be welcomed back with a bag of groceries that we enjoyed over a couple of days. Thanks Amy! It was great to travel worry free!

Susie was absolutely wonderful with our older tuxedo cat, Sambuca. She took amazing care of our home - getting the mail, watering plants and also laundering the sheets and towels before she left. Her communication was excellent, leaving me a nice note when I got home and sending a few pictures of Sambuca while we were away. You can count of Susie to take perfect care of your home and pets. I hope she will stay with us again!

McKenzie and Patrick were very self sufficient and took great care of Samee and my house.

Maeve stayed with my dog Juno for a month, and I was never worried about Juno getting the best of care. Maeve even had to deal with my furnace going on the fritz during the coldest week (in January in Minneapolis!) and took it like a champ! I highly recommend Maeve as a sitter.
