Pet Sitters in Dolphin, WA

Michele

Michele was a super considerate sitter, who both our dog and cat took to immediately. She was very thorough in both understanding our home and how everything worked and what needed taking care of through the week, and also looking after both the pets wonderfully. A few days into the sit our cat made a bit of a mess through the house - which we were mortified to hear - but Michele took it entirely in her stride and put effort into ensuring everything was cleaned properly and that he was also okay and looked after. We returned home to a spotless house and a very happy doggo and cat. Would recommend Michele in a heartbeat. She kept us updated throughout, and took our dog on some fabulous adventures!

Ruth & Jordan

Ruth and Jordan were great pet sitters. They took time to get to know our dog and looked after her very well. They left the house very clean and tidy. Would have them back to pet sit and highly recommend

Gerry & Yan

We met with Gerry prior to the pet/house sit. It was clear that he was comfortable with all types of animals, and he is very organized. He asked a lot of good questions she could be sure where to find everything, and what to do under different circumstances. We have three dogs (including a rambunctious 4 month old puppy) and 2 cats, and this was the first time that we have been away from them. After that he was self sufficient and dealt with circumstances as they arose. While we were traveling, Gerry sent us regular updates and pics, and in the first few days a few questions....what do I do about this......which was great. He was really on top of everything, and obviously cared for the welfare of our pets. When we returned, the pets were all happy and settled, the house and garden were clean and tidy. Gerry was totally reliable - he visited us prior to the sit, arrived for tier sit as agreed, communicated throughout the sit, left as per schedule, and visited afterwards we returned. He is relaxed, friendly, responsible, thorough and caring. Both Yan and I, and our pets, are very fortunate to have had Gerry looking after our pets and house.

Lisa

Lisa was fantastic! We met just before my trip, and she was very warm and friendly. I felt confident she would take good care of Vanilla. During my trip, I received several updates and pictures, comforting me in the fact that Vanilla was in good hands. When I came back, the apartment was as clean and tidy as it could be! Lisa was also very flexible regarding timing. All in all, an absolutely wonderful sitter! Thank you Lisa, it was a pleasure to host you! You are welcome back anytime.

LAURA

This was the second time Laura stayed with our standard poodle. Princess was so happy to see her return. We have the utmost confidence that she will be well cared for with Laura. In addition, she leaves the house spotless for our return. If you are looking for a great pet sitter, look no further. Laura is amazing.

Ron

Ron and Chantale dog sat for us for a week and we came home to a very happy doggo! They sent us several photo updates over the week and made sure the garden was watered while we were gone. Our home was clean and tidy, Huxley was well taken care of and the garden was a little more weed free! They were both so easy to communicate with and I highly recommend them especially if you have a big dog, like our Huxley. We hope they can house sit for us again!

Kerrie & Scott

Kerrie and Scott were awesome. We had the pleasure of meeting them prior to the sit, and they immediately put our minds at ease. They kept us up to date with pictures and messages of their adventures with our two pups. We generally like to keep our home tidy, but this time was not exactly the way I wanted to leave it for them. We came back to a home cleaner than when we left it. The pups almost seemed depressed that the sitters were gone. We would love to have them them back anytime. Thank you both

Emilie

This is the second time I had Emilie sit for Mooj and my place and she is wonderful. Mooj the cat is so happy when I return so I can tell she's had great care. The house is always impeccable. And, Emilie sends great photos and updates when I'm away. Also, as with the last trip, I was delayed by a day (I have terrible luck with flights), and she was able to stay on a bit longer to accommodate me which was such a relief when the rest of my travel was so stressful. I will always recommend Emilie for your house/pet sit and would absolutely invite her back again.

Samantha

Samantha was a treasure. She looked after our pets and home with enthusiasm. Our two dogs were well looked after and our home was clean and tidy on our return. We highly recommend Samantha as a house/pet sitter.

Megan & Andre

This is the 2nd time that Megan and her family have come to look after our home and beloved dog Roxie. We can't say enough great things about them; they're fantastic! Roxie loves them! The house is always spotless when we get back, better than when we leave.!!! They send pics, keep us informed, and are just genuinely lovely people.

Susan & Ken

Susan watched Finn for the second time and although it was a short stay they seemed to maximize their time together. Thanks Susan for watching Finn.

Kristy & Richard

Kristy and Richard were wonderful pet sitters! They took exceptional care of our pups, provided us with updates, were easy to communicate with, and left our home immaculate. I would love to have them back to housesit again and would highly recommend them to anyone needing a pet sitter.

Regina

I had the pleasure and privilege of home-sitting for Regina's sweet cats and taking care of her cozy apartment. She welcomed me warmly and made sure I was comfortable throughout my stay by providing clear instructions and being available and responsive whenever I had questions. The cats were easy to care for and provided affectionate companionship. Regina is fortunate to live in a comfortable apartment within a 5-star residence with 24-hour concierge service, a relaxing swimming pool, and fitness room located in Jumeirah Village Circle with access to central Dubai by air-conditioned public bus and Hala-taxi. I cherished every moment of my stay and look forward to continuing my friendship with Regina, Bubba, and Sweet Pea.

Kristin

I had a great summer with Abby. She's a high-energy, happy spirit and up for all and any activities. There's a great off-leash park within easy walking distance of the house. Kristin welcomed me warmly the night before their departure so we could share a meal and go over all the details for the sit. In addition, she left a very helpful Welcome Guide. The home is lovely, well-appointed, and in a beautiful, central neighborhood. Thanks again for having me. I miss Abby! :) I  can definitely recommend this sit to others.

Katherine

We loved the week we spent taking care of Nougat. He is very attached to humans and will love to sit on your lap and wait for cuddles. Nougat is very easy to look after and when the weather is good he enjoys walking around the area.
We had the opportunity to meet Kate, Mads and their children Maya and Charlie. They are so kind and we felt very welcome in their beautiful house. The place is fully equipped with everything you could need for a very comfortable stay and at the area there are shops, supermarkets, cafes, restaurants and buses stops a few meters from the house.
We had such a great stay there and we totally recommend this sitting.
Thank you guys for having us in your home.
Wishing the best for all of you,
Tatiane and Rafael.

Nicole + Drew

I loved taking care of Max at Nicole & Drew’s home in SF. Max is the sweetest boy and I very much enjoyed watching him get closer each day. He loves his cat glove and playing with the laser. He was super friendly and definitely a people cat. Very easy to care for. 
Nicole was super easy to communicate with and friendly. The condo was immaculate, very quiet and cozy. The central location in Nopa makes it ideal to visit SF. I would house sit again in a heartbeat! ❤️

Brooke

Minnie’s the sweetest cat I’ve ever sat. Lots of belly rubs and night snuggles. Just a little love bug. She loves getting her face massaged. Just the cutest!! Brooke was great with communication, very helpful and quick to respond. The automatic feeder is easy to use, although Minnie did pry the top off 🤣. Apartment is great - lots of charm and a great neighborhood. Excited to be coming back soon.

STEPHANIE

Pepper and John were so welcoming and their dogs, Cash and Foodie, were so sweet and well behaved! Pepper and John gave us a thorough overview of everything when we arrived. They just moved into a beautiful new home and we really enjoyed taking the dogs on walks in the development but also in the wooded areas around the community. Cash and Foodie were easy going and very loving. We really enjoyed our time!
