Dog Sitters in Grawn, MI

I would have Jessica back to look after my dog anytime! My dog was so calm and relaxed when I got home and had clearly had a lovely time. She can be quite reactive with other dogs but Jessica dealt with this easily. My flat was beautifully clean and tidy when I returned. She is also very lovely, kind and calm; exactly the sort of person you want caring for your loved pets. Thank you Jessica 😊

Carlinda and Kent were the absolute best sitters for our three dogs. We are rarely able to get away for an extended period of time. Carlinda and Kent provided the best care we could have asked for. While we were away, one of our pups needed some medical attention....we simply lucked out by having such amazing caregivers...from vet appointments to constant updates, we knew that we had nothing to worry about. We would HIGHLY recommend Carlinda and Kent and truly hope that we can have them back.....our boys miss them ;-)

Sara and her family were wonderful! Sara was very responsive and thoughtful in coordinating the details of what was needed. My older dog Lucy was quite pampered with extra walks and treats. I appreciated getting updates throughout the week to assure me things were going well. And a bonus, her husband Tom fixed our dryer so it vented properly. They left the house extremely near and tidy with clean beds made up. I would recommend Sara and her family in a heartbeat.

This is the second time Michelle has stayed with Ruthie and Rosie. She is quick to respond to all communication and you can count on her to arrive on time as promised. Michelle reached out with any questions she had and left the house in perfect order. Do not hesitate to sign her up as your housesitter!

As I was going to be away for 7 weeks I did a full days handover with Liza and left confident she would be able to cope with my pets requirements and the basic upkeep of my house. I pre-warned Liza on 12th June , before she had booked her flights, there may be some works spilling over into her 7 week sit. The reason being we had a house fire in March which had caused a lot of smoke damage. She confirmed she was , and I quote “ Totally ok about the jobs! I actually used to be in property management , so am used to helping facilitate these types of job ha ha :)”. During the sit I became concerned from comments from the workmen that had been carrying out jobs on my house, post fire, and work in the garden. I hoped their concerns might be exaggerated, unfortunately when I returned home I found his was not the case. On reflection I think that the large number of pets, the size of the house and the jobs that needed to be carried out during her sit along with the long duration of the sit was too much for her to cope with competently. Below are my biggest concerns on my return home , comments from my neighbours, workmen/ family friend ◦ no water down for my dogs ◦ very small container of water for my cats ◦ Small bowl of dirty water for my chickens ◦ Dogs food bowls in the garden next to each other containing swollen kibble. My dogs must be separated when eating. Liza knew this, they are not grazers there are a lot of insects here as it is rural ◦ All my cats had lost weight ◦ Nala my female dog lost weight and bald patches of fur ◦ Leo my male dog put weight on ◦ A very strong smell of cat urine and dog fur when entering the house ◦ Lots of fur loose and chunks around all the edges of all floors ◦ Bins full ◦ Fridge dirty and contained perished food ◦ Deep scratches on the passenger door of my car . I spent time and money to add Liza to my car insurance for the duration of the sit. My car is by no means pristine, I would have appreciated being told she had damaged ◦ Plants that had both sentiment value and plants that cost in the region of 200 euros dead or dying, both inside and outside the house. I understand the weather was hot, the same as last year, yet with correct watering I didn’t lose any. The hot weather should not have affected the indoor plants, again last summer I didn’t lose any ◦ Neighbours comments - ◦ The dogs were out in the garden for many hours most days. ◦ Both my attached neighbour and next door but one neighbour heard my dogs barking and howling for hours most days ◦ Insufficient clean water and shade for my chickens ◦ Workmen / family friend comments - ◦ No housework was done until the night before my return ◦ The floors were covered in a thick layer of fur until the night before my return ◦ He found it difficult to prepare his lunch as all work surfaces were covered with her belongings and fur ◦ He was worried to store his lunch in my fridge, it was that dirty ◦ The cats were crying at him for food regularly ◦ Liza was friendly to him but he didn’t see her doing anything with any of the pets or the house ◦ His thoughts were that “it was a holiday for her “ If I were asked for a recommendation for Liza I would have to decline. I am an animal lover and would not wish my experience on anyone. I was tired after 3 flights and 18 hours of travelling I asked my neighbour, who had befriended Liza to please keep her with her so I could sleep before dealing with the conditions I was met with on my return home. As Liza left at 6am the following morning my friend very kindly drove her to the train station. I have tried numerous time to speak to Liza since , she doesn’t answer my calls. She messages back stating she wants to speak to me once she has arrived back in Tennessee. I was keen to speak to her before by phone or by message. She has declined every attempt by me to communicate since 31st August it is now 4th September . I am sure she has had signal and 5 minutes spare during her journey home. I decided to go ahead with my review before speaking to her as I can’t for-see any explanation for the way she has treated my pets and home. I checked in with Liza numerous times to ensure everything was going well . She never once said there was a problem. If she had communicated there was I would have been happy to make alternative arrangements with another sitter or I would have returned home early. My pets and their welfare are very important, I am devastated after joining this site to have had this experience.

Second time Julia sat for us and she was amazing! Super communicative, clean, and responsible. We are so grateful!! Highly recommend!

Tess was great to work with! She took great care of our birds, plants and house, and she communicated quickly, clearly and pleasantly. She sent us regular photos of our birds and left the house neat and spotless. We are very happy and would definitely welcome her back any time!

Rachel and Andy were great. We'd definitely use them again. Communication was great and our 4 fur babies loved them.

Claudia is the best!

It was a pleasure to have Avery as a house sitter. We got pictures and updates daily, the house was clean and tidy on our return, she had fun with our neighbors, and Sunny got plenty of exercise and attention. I would recommend her without hesitation.

Samantha was a great dogsitter and housesitter for more than a week. I came back to a happy dog!

Hallie was fantastic in taking care of Lunedì! She was always very caring and kept me updated with photos and messages every day.

Mandy is a delight. I highly recommend her and would gladly ask her to sit again. She was a perfect fit for my community

Christina was fantastic. Communication with her was easy. She always texted back promptly and was organized and capable. She kept me posted on her schedule and plans while she was here so I wouldn’t worry. She genuinely loves and understands cats and sent me lots of cute pics and videos of Koko when I was away. I have no complaints. I’m moving but if Christina ever wants to visit Baltimore I would be delighted to have her cat sit for me again!

I wish that I could give Lori (and her hubby Louie) more than 4-Stars. I felt completely at ease the entire time that I was away, and I came back to a perfectly happy, possibly even sweeter dog than I left. They even worked on walk-training her while they were there. I got regular check-ins and picture updates, which I always appreciate. Lori would be welcomed back anytime!

Manny and Kirsten sat for us for the second time. We would never have asked them to return had they not been excellent, caring, dedicated and trustworthy sitters and Human beings. We would without reservation recommend them for you pets and home

Malana was wonderful! Our pets were well cared for. She also took care of our plants and mail. She left our house super clean. She is super sweet!

Nicki and Dexter took care of our home, out door gardens and kitty like it was their own. Our greenhouse was full of baby swiss chard and the newly planted zucchini outside all look great. We didn't have any concerns while we were away because we felt from the first communication that they were the right choice. We highly recommend them for your future sits.

Ellen was attentive to my animals and very respectful of my home!

Morgan was amazing! She was reliable, flexible and dependable. She was easy to communicate with and took great care of our pets and home. Thanks gain Morgan!!
