Pet Sitters in Crescent, IA

Dianne & Mike

Mike and Dianne are lovely people. My lab Bob was so happy to have them taking care of him. Bob was happy and content when we returned home from our vacation. The house was left in great condition, neat and clean and Mike had even picked up after Bob in the yard. I definitely recommend them as wonderful house/pet sitters.

Jacob

Jacob was fantastic with our pets and our home. He was courteous, tidy and so loving with our pets while providing updates along the way. I would highly recommend him for the care of your home and critters.

Allix

I had Allix house sit for the second time, and once again, she exceeded all expectations. Her communication was exceptional, keeping us updated throughout the entire stay. The house was spotless when we returned, and her attention to our pup was truly impressive! impressive.Five stars all the way!

Keith

Keith and Tiara are the best pet sitters we've ever had! They took great care of the house, the cats, and even helped us out with our new landscaping. They were terrific communicators - they sent me pics every day and a video of the house when they left. I really can't recommend them highly enough!

Elizabeth & William

Absolutely fantastic sitters! Our home and dog were extremely well cared for. These two made accommodations for us, like meeting in person before our departure, in order for our dog to feel comfortable. They sent frequent updates, left our house spotless, and even had a surprise for us upon our arrival. Would definitely recommend!

Zachary

Zach is absolutely the best pet sitter ever! My sweet dog bonded with Zach completely- and my dog is the best judge of character! Zach is the most kind and considerate person and very in-tune with pets! I feel so lucky to have had Zach watch our dog twice!!

Ary

Pros: Our kitties were well cared for. Ary offered to stay until we returned when our flight was cancelled--this meant an extra day and a half--which we appreciated. Cons: I want to be fair. The kitties were fine, and they are our first priority. But we also care about our backyard birds, which we requested she care for. When we returned we found all the birdbaths were empty, the hummingbird feeders hadn't been filled with fresh nectar for days, and I'm not sure how much feeding actually got done because of the number of unopened bags of birdseed. Our previous house sitters sent a brief text about the kitties or a photo every few days while we were away. I admit we didn't specifically ask Ary to do this but we were surprised that the only communications from her related to a couple of questions about the house. I don't expect house sitters to be perfect housekeepers but I was dismayed to find dirty glasses in the cupboard. The aluminum cat food cans were not placed in the recycling container, but simply put in the trash. Wooden spoons that I asked not to be cleaned in the dishwasher were in the dishwasher. I had provided instructions on these points in the welcome guide. It was also dismaying that the phone call that Ary scheduled to meet us didn't happen because "time got away" from her. We waited over an hour for her call, which didn't come. Again, it's important to note that the kitties were fine when we got home, and Ary had washed the sheets and dishes.

Sydney

Sydney and her partner were fantastic guests! They took care of my two cats who both require high-level of care for daily medications and prescription foods. She was also communicative throughout the sit, which I very much appreciated. When I returned home, my two boys were happy and well-loved and my home was spotlessly clean. Sydney would be an excellent choice for any home/pet owner and i would welcome her back any time.

Matt

Matt was terrific! Phoebe quickly adjusted to him and enjoyed his company. He was organized, neat and a pleasure to have sit in my home. His calm, zen-like personality instantly put Phoebe at ease and it was evident when I returned by how relaxed she was that she enjoyed herself spending time with him. I would definitely recommend Matt as a pet sitter in your home.

Kristy & Ryan

Kristy, Ryan, and the kids are our go to sitters. They love Bridger as if he was their own. We've been through highs and lows together. There are just not enough words to show how great they are.
