Pet Sitters in Desoto, TX

Mark & Leisha

Had Mark back for a second pet sit. He did a great job. Kitties were happy and well take care of. He even kindly put up with me accidentally running low on cat food and let me know early enough so I was able to get some delivered before he ran out. My apartment was nice and clean when I got back with everything how I left it. I look forward to welcoming him back for another sit!

Amanda

Amanda was great with our kitties. They took to her immediately as she walked in the door. She was friendly and easy to talk with and we immediately felt comfortable. Not only was she a previous cat owner, she had experience in dealing with some older kitties and understanding that they need medication and sometimes a little more attention. I didn't worry about the cats or the house while we were away. She took the time to walk Tiger several times a day outside with his harness and leash. He likes to spend time outdoors. I have 3 other cats that needed medication and love as well. All of my cats are lap cats and are used to lots of attention. I don't think our cats missed us. She was there to love on them. She kept us informed daily with photos and texts. Our house was clean and well cared for when we returned. She took the time to put kitchen items back in their original spots. She was very careful. The litter boxes were clean with fresh litter, the house was vacuumed, mopped and dusted as well as making sure the bathrooms were clean too. She put clean sheets back on the bed and washed all the towels and put them away. I do appreciate it when our guests can do this. Sometimes it is not possible when they must leave early in the mornings. I don't expect them to get up an extra hour or so earlier just to get the wash done. She was able to do this and we did appreciate. She picked up our mail and had it on the counter for us and watered our outside plants in pots. Our home is not an Airbnb. It is our personal home. Accidents do happen but she was careful with all of our kitchen appliances and tools. I would highly recommend her to pet sit/housesit in your home. She paid attention to detail. I would definitely ask her to come back and petsit/housesit for us again. She is a homeowner and understands how to maintain a home. She is trustworthy and will be respectful to your pets and your personal possessions. She did follow my instructions and the cats were well taken care of while we were gone. She also returned the house keys and gate opener in the spot that we requested. Some do not.

Kaitlen & Harrison

It was wonderful to welcome Kaitlen, Harrison and their beautiful boys back to look after Winnie. Their care for Winnie was second to none. We came home to a happy pup, and a fabulously curated selection of goodies from K&H. Thank you so much for looking after Winnie - it was lovely to see you again and meet the boys.

Sandra & Roberto

We had a trip almost immediately after the last and we were lucky enough that Sandra and Roberto were available for both. This trip we would have no cell service and would not be able to be contacted if something happened but we knew that Sandra and Roberto were very self-sufficent and took wonderful care of Ranger and Lulu last time so we did not worry about anything while we were out of pocket. When we returned to the land of cell service we were greeted by an update and adorable photos. It took longer than expected to get home and Sandra was kind enough to swing back by and take care of Ranger's wet food. They also were so sweet and left a gift for us. I hope that next time we need a house sitter they are available.

Laura

Laura and Susana were wonderful house and pet sitters. As daughter and mother team, they were perfect for our two dogs, gecko, and hamster. Their communication was great—lots of updates with photos, questions to help our dog with some separation anxiety, but also very self sufficient. They left the house in pristine condition as if it were their own. They also were just delightful people. We’d be honored to have them return.

Brian & Caesar

Brian and Caesar were wonderful pet sitters for me and my wife when we went abroad and were in desperate need of a house sitter. They took wonderful care of our three cats were timely and prompt in our communications and our place was spotless ( with sheets cleaned) when we came back. Don't hesitate to ask Brian and Caesar to sit for you!

Falyn

Falyn and Connor were great, left the house is perfect shape and showered the pups with love.

Statler

It was a pleasure having Statler care for my spoiled Shih Tzu for 7days. It was effortless to communicate with her and she sent me updates on Bailey's daily fetch shenanigans…..lol Bailey loves to play fetch and Statler was very good at accommodating it. She took him on daily walks, took care of watering my plans, and ensured my pool water level was where it needed to be, which I greatly appreciate. The house was spotless when I returned. I would welcome her anytime! Thank you!

MARINET

Marinet was AWESOME!! She was so sweet and caring to my 2 dogs that they grew an attachment to her that I never saw before. I highly recommend!!

Hariprasath

Hari was an excellent petsitter for our quirky senior dog. He came by to meet us and get oriented before his sit, and we could see immediately that he is a true animal lover. He was gentle and compassionate with Archie, and patient with his quirks. Hari sent updates while we were away and was responsive to questions, and was very self-sufficient during his stay. We returned to a clean home and a happy pup! I would definitely recommend Hari for others looking for a kind caregiver for their pets.

Amy

Amy did a fantastic job taking care of my babies. She kindly met up with me ahead of time to go through all the various tech things I have. Even my shy cats loved her and cuddled with her. She did all the cleaning tasks i asked her to do and took great care of my place. Highly recommend her!

Tamara

Tamara took care of my 3 huskies and kitty for 4 nights and she did a fantastic job! They were given 1+ hour long walks as I instructed and she sent me daily photo updates. As soon as my pups met her, they adored her. I came home to a clean apartment looking exactly as it did before I left for my trip. I would highly recommend Tamara for anyone’s housesitting needs!

Winslow

Anthony and Christine are excellent.  This is the second time we have used them.  Our house is so clean when we come home; they adore the pups.

ido

Ido was very welcoming, but unfortunately Flimy was not well. He needed much more active care than I was expecting

Alexia

Really enjoyed sitting with Mac the friendly, inquisitive, chilled out cat.  Alexia was easy and clear to communicate with beforehand, friendly and welcoming.  What more could you want?  A great location - this certainly would be hard to beat.  River views from every window.

Emma

It was a really wonderful stay at Orchard Cottage. Emma was really helpful with all the instructions and welcomed us into her home with open arms. What a beautiful cottage and grounds. The dogs were very easy to get along with and lovely company in the evenings. The other animals mostly took care of themselves and the eggs were delicious. The location is perfect for exploring a beautiful area. Highly recommend house sitting here.

Alice

What a wonderful sit this was... Maisie the cat is a very sweet old lady, in the beginning a little shy but after some days she comes and sits on your lap for hours. She's also really low maintenance. (We didn't care for Cleo who was on holiday with the family).
We didn’t meet Alice and the family in real life but our communication was absolutely fast, nice and efficient. Their beautiful home with garden, a lot of space and a lot of light, is situated in Islington, close to Central London. It has the very best public transport connections.
This sit was a real revelation for us, and we highly recommand it to whoever gets the chance.

Michelle

Michelle has a truly lovely home that is close to everywhere you want to be in Charlotte. And Mr. Cole is such a sweetie. Since he had a little injury, he and my pup weren't able to play as hard as my pup would have liked, but they were instant besties and cuddled in bed with me the whole weekend. I'd love to sit for Michelle again! :)

Chloe & Chris

A truly beautiful setting.
We felt very fortunate to share this lovely family home and pets.
Would happily return.
