It was a pleasure to stay at Pati and Neil's. The house was modern, very comfortable, clean and liveable, with everything we needed. Leo, Freya and Snowy were lovely cats. Leo was a bit shy and the kittens were very cute and loved a play. Great communication with Pati made everything easy.
I had a great time housesitting for Victoria. It was a pleasure to spend time before and after the sit getting to know her, and she provided all the info I needed to complete the sit. Ben is a lovely old pup, full of life but obedient and gentle. He was easy to care for both on and off the leash, always happy to get back on the leash when I needed. All he cares about is food and walks! The birds were super easy to care for too, and good company while reading in the conservatory or lounge. The walks nearby the house are peaceful and relaxing, a great part of the country to visit. Thanks again, Victoria!
We had a great time pet sitting for Jessica! Zim, Kenya and the chickens were a lot of fun to take care of. Cuddling, walks and playing were so much fun and we are definitely going to miss these fabulous pets. You cannot help but fall in love with them! Jessica's house is gorgeous and so comfortable, like a five-star Airbnb to stay in for the three weeks we were there. The area is stunning and not far from Asheville with lots to do. Jessica was so easy to talk to. She is very easy going, super nice, very communicative and available with any questions we had! You would be lucky if you get picked by her to sit at her gorgeous property for her fantastic fur babies and feather babies! We would love to sit for her again anytime!
Twigs stole my heart! What a wonderfully loving and sweet pup! I enjoyed every second of my weekend with her and really hope to return for more fun times and snuggles with Twigs! She was so easy going with a new person and just loves cuddles and kisses but also is very independent and will pop herself off to her bed for a nap when she's suitably loved up :) She was really easy to walk (and will let you know when a motorbike/scooter/large dog is about!) and loved some chill out time on the doggie beaches. Izzy was great to communicate with, spoke me through Twigs' little quirks, explained walks and the local area (so wonderful to be right on the coast and everything is in walking distance), and made me feel so welcome in her lovely home. Thank you so much Izzy :) Thank you both for a lush weekend and hopefully see Twigs in the future for more snuggle times!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 recommend. We discovered Eileen when our (previous) pet sitter bailed on us at the last minute about a year ago, but in hindsight, we are so glad that happened! Eileen has pet sat for us for the last year, and she is truly the BEST. She’s reliable, consistent, observant, and SO sweet with our babies. We have 2 cats with 2 very different personalities, and she’s great with BOTH of them, giving them each what they need while we’re gone, including extra attention for our high maintenance orange boy :). I feel so blessed to have her in our lives, and I can’t overstate how nice it feels to have true *peace of mind* when we leave home. Thank you Eileen!!! 🩷🩷
Eileen makes it so easy for me to feel confident about the kind of care my pets will receive while I’m away on long trips. They don’t get just basic care but love and attention. I get updates and pics so I can see how they are. It’s hard to be away from my four legged friends but Eileen makes it much easier because I know I have nothing to worry about. 😊
Eileen is a treasure and if you're sitting around reading dog walker reviews and weighing your options you should just drop it now and hire her. She's been walking my big, VERY enthusiastic amstaff, The Doobs, for a few months now and she's completely transformed his walk. This dog LOVES to walk, and can go for hours at a time. He's a dedicated puller with the muscle to back it up. When I first brought him home, I no joke had a dog walking helmet for a while, because more than once he pulled me right over. He's also very interested in people. He's a really friendly dog, but was such a handful to walk that we were really only going out reliably once a day, and he needs so much more exercise than that. Eileen has slowly mellowed out his walk to where he's a real joy to take out now. He gets so much more exercise now that it's easier to walk him, and he's a happier, healthier dog. Eileen has also been walking my 7 month old hound mix, Donny. Donny's challenges are at the opposite end of the spectrum. He's young and, like many pandemic puppies, his socialization was spotty. He's easily spooked and it can be hard to keep his focus on a walk. Here, again, Eileen's been a total game changer for him. Watching him bond with her and seeing the confidence boost he's getting from spending time with her has been totally awesome! Finally, Eileen just met for the first time with my other hound puppy, Walter. Walter's a very nervous little guy, and Eileen took the time to make an initial appt just to sit with us and let him come out of his shell with her. She's got a really quick, savvy grasp of doggo drives and body language, and it's a real pleasure interacting with her and each dog together. It's clear Eileen puts a ton of thought and effort into her relationships with her dog charges. She often brings a new trick or tool she picked up working with another dog and suggests it for one of mine, and the way she phrases her explanations always shows how appreciative she is of each dog's individual personality and needs. Bonus: Eileen's got a real gift for pet photography, and she sends beautiful pics and the occasional video while she's out walking my pups. I love reviewing those photos at the end of the work day and checking out the awesome adventures my doggos had. The attached photos are all shots Eileen sent me. Wrangling three doggos, two of whom are puppies, while working full time is a lot. Eileen provides all the extra love, exercise, and play these pups need to keep our household running smoothly enough to keep dogpocalypses from crashing my zoom meetings. I can't recommend her highly enough!
Our first experience with Sit Walk & Wag was fantastic! Eileen stayed with our Great Dane for a week and I couldn't have been happier with her service. She always made us feel comfortable while we were away. We are very impressed with the professionalism in which she runs her business and her high standards as a caretaker for our pet. We feel very fortunate to have been recommended to Eileen and highly recommend her.
Eileen at Sit Walk & Wag has been really wonderful to work with. She was extremely reliable, professional, and loves dogs. I have a high energy pup and Eileen's walks wore her out! After each walk I always looked forward to receiving pictures from their adventures!
From the minute I spoke to Eileen, I knew she was the right person to look after our very beloved but aloof cat, Dee Dee. Not only did Dee love her (I've never seen her warm up to someone so quickly) but Eileen really put her needs first. So much so, that she suggested shorter visits to accommodate her shy behaviour. Whatsmore, Eileen is great with humans too! 😁 Super responsive, communicative, and has a great sense of humour too. Would definitely recommend! 👍🏻
Eileen was recommended to me by our regular pet-sitter, who was unable to complete the pet coverage we needed. I trust and love our pet-sitter, so I knew she was recommending someone great - and she certainly did! Eileen is professional, kind, fantastic with animals, and reliable. I was so impressed with her services and her willingness to take on a few extra visits when our plans slightly changed during our trip. My husband and I came home to three happy fur family members and I we were able to enjoy our trip knowing that they were in great hands (nothing is more important than that). We will definitely use Sit Walk & Wag in the future and I highly recommend Eileen!
Great dog walker! She has been walking our 75lb pit mix three times a week for over a month!! We get daily photos. A GPS map of distance and where they walked! I really like these added features as it provides assurance our family pet is getting the best! Thanks so much And we do recommend Sit Walk & Wag !! Eugene Scott Owens
It can be hard to find a pet sitter who is great with pets and with their humans. Eileen is that, and then some! She is a natural "cat person" and excellent cat sitter - we feel truly at ease whenever we go away, knowing our cat is being taken care of just as well (or honestly even better) as when we are home. Friendly, responsible, great communicator -- everything you'd want in a pet sitter!
Eileen is wonderful! My dog loves her and she is very reliable and trustworthy. I come home to a happy exercised dog every time I elicit her services. Highly recommend and want to encourage to support. We are lucky to have people like this in our community.
Melanie has cared for my girls (pups) for the past 15 months. Whether I am away just for a day trip or a two week vacation, her care is consistently loving, kind and intuitive. She knows when my girls need extra loves & pets or just an extra blanket. She actually spends time with them playing and talking. She is very dependable and always pleasant. She has helped me out with last minute dilemmas , too! Melanie always goes the extra mile—- she brought my trash cans back from the curb today! She is also an excellent plant caretaker! I never worry about the girls or my home with Melanie!! She is the best the girls have ever had and they love her!
Melanie has been taking care of my two pups for nearly two years. I could not imagine having anyone else care for them. They trust her and love her so much. When she walks through the door she is met with great affection and much excitement from both pups. Each visit is detailed in a text message along with photos. I appreciate knowing how each visit went that day. Melanie is very intuitive and pays attention to every detail. I am happy to recommend her services to everyone who is lucky enough to be a fur baby owner!!!!
