Pet Sitters in Botzum, OH

Alexander

Alexander exceeded expectations. He was patient wih our Bedlington Terrier, Lucy, and she liked him. He did take her outside pretty often and kept us informed that she was eating well and behaving as usual. There were no issues with the house or its condition when we returned home. We would be happy to have Alexander for a future sit.

Casandra

Don’t hesitate to book Casandra. We are incredibly grateful to have had her as a sitter for 3 weeks!!! We met her beforehand as she came to our house for a meet and greet first. Right away we felt at ease. She is kind, responsible, self-sufficient, and respectful. She also got along really well with our cats, bonding almost instantly and sending photos and texts periodically throughout her stay. We were beyond impressed with her care for our home and kitty babies!

Amanda

One of our favorite sitters we’ve ever had!!! Would highly recommend to anyone.

Sharla

Sharla is amazing! She took wonderful care of my nervous Frenchie and apartment for 2.5 weeks this past August. She has a great way with animals and makes sure to keep you informed with daily pictures and videos updates. I know my little fur baby was in good hands for the duration and my apartment well-looked after. I would definitely recommend Shar!

Morgan & Jordan

Morgan and Jordan were a joy to communicate with, and took great care of our kitties. Our home was clean and tidy when we returned, and both Morgan and Jordan were responsive to messages and asked great questions about how to take care of our kitties and home.

suni

Suni is exceptional! We have used her for housesitting/pet care in the past and she is our go-to when we need someone. She’s responsible, conscientious, and caring. She had big plans one of the days while we were gone, preapproved, and canceled them since our dog was acting out of sorts. While we felt terrible about her canceling her plans, it meant so much to us that she was that conscientious to stay here with him. Her communication is fabulous and care of our home as well as our aging dog and two cats is stellar. We will try to use her again, again, and again!

Michelle

I couldn't have asked for a better sitter in Michelle. We arranged and met ahead of time before she did the sitting. She is delightful to sit and talk with and I felt totally comfortable leaving my dogs with her overnight. I have nothing but praise for her stay. She sent pictures of the pups and kept us up to date on the house as we had bad weather come through while she was sitting. She left everything the way it was when we left and her communication was great. I would not hesitate to have her sit for my pups again!

Deborah & John

They were absolutely WONDERFUL! It is difficult to find petsitters with bird experience and they have so much that I was confident they would be a good fit. They bonded with my birds immediately and went above and beyond what I asked them to do in terms of care. They kept me informed and sent plenty of pictures. They are very nice people and kept the house immaculate. I would jump at the chance to have them sit for me again.

Teagan

Teagan was a favorite with our pups. Because of travel issues, she ended up having to meet them on her own and they took to her right away.

Cecily

Cecily and Ryan were fab sitters! They were happy to come the day before so I could show them around. They took great care of my pets and sent me regular updates, took Sebastian on great walks and left the house super clean! Come any time!

Brock

We were happy to welcome Brock for his first sit, and he came by a week before since he lives 30 min away. We walked through the house guide and he met Zipper, so he felt well prepared to take care of everything for us while we were attending a boat show and doing a sit ourselves. We came home to a clean house, and a happy dog. Communication was good, and we received a daily update and photos. Overall Brock took good care of everything for us. The two star notes are around the fact that when we asked, near the end of the sit, if he had found the walking trail in the woods with Zipper, he said that our dog had explored the back yard, but had not taken him on any walks. Walks are important for the health of an older dog to keep his joints moving, and we relied on him for that. One walk a day was clearly outlined in the house guide and during our time together before the sit. After we were in touch about that, he did take Zipper for a daily walk. Brock asked us for feedback, which we shared with him. He is looking forward to continue his house sitting journey, so we're confident that this was just a first-time mistake. Brock is a friendly, confident person and we wish him well as he enjoys meeting new pets and their owners. Best wishes Brock for much success, Kim and Gary

Claire

Claire was prompt and organized and easy to work with. It was both of our first experiences with TH, and for us it felt like a positive first experience. She cared for our pets as if they were her own. Our house was just as clean, if not cleaner than when we left it!

Hilary

Hilary’s home was lovely to stay in, a great location close to the CBD and a very accomodating household. Hilary was very easy going and easy to sit for. Chops is a lovely house cat, remarkably friendly and offered great company during my stay!

Sunghoo

Sonny and Megan were amazing hosts- they left clear instructions, communicated with me the whole time and were extremely welcoming! Their home was luxurious and I would gladly sit for them again. The weather was amazing and the neighbourhood had a cozy feel. 
I arrived to a lot of excitement from all the pups, they had become more acclimated by the second day. Nico and Mimi love to be near you every second you are home, they are seriously the sweetest dogs ever. It’s an easy sit if you are comfortable with their excitability. Pequito (Little Bit) is just as sweet, he loves cuddles too and the occasional wrestle. He needs some extra help, but is mostly independent and loves naps. 
I ended up injuring myself on my trip so I spent a lot more time inside than I planned to- but they have all the amenities to make it a great stay. I just hope I didn’t spoil the dogs with too much attention😏 They have a beautiful yard, and the chickens! I loved hearing their soft clucks and collecting their eggs. Clean up before I departed was easy.
10/10 stay from every aspect. 
Highly recommend

Anne

I had a truly magnificent two weeks looking after Merlin. 
On arrival Anne made me feel extremely welcome and provided plenty of information and contacts to assist my stay.  Merlin is a beautiful dog, so well behaved with a loving and fun personality... and he is the most wonderful company! 
The area is stunning and I thoroughly enjoyed all the many walks we did, which were all on the doorstep.  
Thank you Anne for a superb stay in your beautiful home and the joyous time I spent with Merlin.
