Jeff was an amazing sitter! Our very favorite so far. He was super easy to communicate with, was easy going, and generally just a nice person. He took Ani on long walks along the shaded Lady Bird Lake trail and clearly spent lots of time cuddling with Tody. The house was just as we had left it up on our return. Thank you so so much Jeff! We would love to have you back anytime!
Bobbi was a great pet/housesitter! When my brother, with whom I had left my dog, Oliver, decided to go out of town last minute, I rushed to figure out what to do with my pup and my brother's dog, Ohana. Bobbi contacted me the day before my brother was leaving and after speaking on the phone, we agreed she'd sit for my dogs, and the next day she was there! Bobbi took great care of my dogs! She was really easy to communicate with, and when I told her she'd have to coordinate with my brother when he was going to drop off the dogs at my place, she was great about that too! This was a difficult transition period for me and my dogs, as my other dog, Sabrina, had suddenly passed away days before I left Oliver with my brother. Ohana is Oliver's mother, so I wanted him to be with her while he began to adjust to not having his sister around anymore. Bobbi was really great with Oliver, and Ohana, who spent a lot of time with my other dog as well, keeping an eye out on how they were feeling and acting with this shift in their little pack. She gave them lots of love and cuddles, and when I got home, I could tell Oliver was sad to see her go! I definitely recommend Bobbi for your petsitter needs!
