Pet Sitters in Indian River Estates, FL

Caryn

You truly couldn’t ask for a better sitter. My husband and I are in agreement that Caryn took better care of both our house and our dog than we do for either! She even brought my husbands half dead plants back to life (he will promptly kill them again)! She also stayed with us a few days while we were home (we had a couple different trips and came home in between) and was a great houseguest who blended in with the family . Our kids loved her and she was great with them too- helping them teach our old dog new tricks and listening to my son talk her ear off way past bed time. Our dog is older and clingy and can be very particular about many things and she handled them all. He had some health stuff at the time and she took care of it all during the month we were gone and largely off grid. Roo grew so attached he got sad when he noticed her packing her bags to leave. You’d be very lucky to have Caryn watching over your house and pets!!

Brian

Brian was an amazing house and dog sitter for us. He was communicative, friendly, funny, helpful and made some things at our house even better than I left them! He was super responsive and our dogs seemed absolutely happy and the house was in perfect order. 100% recommend!

Clare & Riaan

Clare and Riaan were amazing housesitters who looked after our home and two rambunctious English Bulldogs as if they were their own. Our home was kept immaculate and our boys loved on extensively. They were highly communicative with lots of pictures of our boys playing and having a wonderful time. From the minute they walked through our door we felt great trust and like we had found new friends. Truly amazing couple that we highly recommend.

Katie

This is the second time Katie and Kosta have come to watch our house and pets. We can not say enough good things about them, both professionally as house/pet sitters, and personally. We wish they lived in Bozeman as do our cats and dog!!! We enjoyed getting to know them as they stayed in Bozeman for a few days after our house sit and we really appreciate the care and attention they gave our critters.

Julia

This is the second time we used Julia to pet sit for us. She is fabulous! Our home is in better condition than before we left! She is trustworthy and sends pics of our kitty who I can tell is happy. Julia is super reliable and flexible. It gives us peace of mind to know our cat and home are well taken care of. Thank you Julia!

Mikkel & Dan

Mikkel was reliable, communicative, and clean. She and Dan took great care of our dog while we were away! We felt as though our fur baby and home were in good hands.

Suzanne

Suzanne was perfect in all aspects of pet sitting for us. The house was clean and organized when we return and our dog Holly was health and happy.

UtahBrad

We cannot recommend Brad enough! Brad is such a kind, communicative, and trustworthy person. We felt instantly comfortable from our initial conversation throughout his entire stay at our home. Brad took care of our dog Leeloo for six weeks and the experience was nothing short of fantastic. Leeloo adored Brad and was happy, healthy, and well taken care of the entire time. Brad provided regular updates, including photos, videos, and a Zoom call which we so enjoyed. There's no doubt that he truly loves animals and made sure Leeloo felt comfortable and loved. Above and beyond caring for Leeloo so beautifully, our car threw a maintenance light while we were gone and he was kind enough to take it into the shop to get it serviced. And upon returning home, our house was clean and tidy. Everything Brad does is with the utmost care and attention. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Brad, and we wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. He truly exceeded all of our expectations!

Nicholas

Nicholas was the perfect fit for our month long housesit. We have two large dogs - a 3-year old 70lbs standard poodle and a 2-year old 65lbs labradoodle. Nicholas diligently took the dogs on lengthy walks twice a day and followed all the dietary requests for the dogs. He communicated regularly throughout our trip. We arrived home to a spotless house, healthy plants and trees in the dead of summer, and a yard clean of dog poop. We hope he can sit for us for our next trip! Thank you, Nick!

Anny

Anny was great, she communicated clearly and regularly, took great care of my 2 huskies Myshka and Carlton. The house was spotless on my return. I highly recommend Anny to care for your pets and look after your home.

Patricia

Patricia was a wonderful housesitter, and she took fantastic care of our home and our two kitties. She kept in touch with us in the time leading up to our departure date, and worked with us to set up a time to come over before the sit began, to pick up the keys, get instructions, and most importantly – to meet our babies, Jamie and Oliver. We enjoyed chatting with Patricia in person, and talking about travel, our local area here on the Space Coast of Florida, and other things. She’s a fellow cat-lover, and has extensive experience caring for homes and pets with her property management background, so we knew we’d made a great choice. While we were on our trip, Patricia sent us regular updates and pics of our kitties. It always makes us smile to get the updates, as both Ollie and Jamie looked very happy with Patricia taking care of them. There’s nothing better when you’re away from home than knowing your babies are happy and acting normal while you’re gone. 😊 When we returned home, our house was so tidy, we almost couldn't tell Patricia had even been there! Our kitties were also very happy, as they’d had a wonderful sitter taking care of them while we were gone. Overall, we would highly recommend Patricia as a housesitter, and we would welcome her back to our home anytime!

Prem & Bob

Second time having Bob and Prem stay with my cat. As the first time they were wonderful and would have them stay any time! I highly recommend them!

Ronald

I had a great time with Chet and Duchess! Both were sweet and friendly from the beginning. Chet liked to keep me company in the living room, backyard, and kitchen even if he was just going to take a nap. Ron made the entire experience warm and welcoming. Great communication before and during the stay whenever something came up every now and then. The neighborhood was quiet day and night and just a short drive to dining and scenic walks. A fun experience!

DENISE

Little Luna is so cute! Although she doesn't like to be pet or snuggly she is with you all the time. She is a happy little girl and grows on you over the sit because she is a bit of a personality and so funny being exactly who she is. This home is so comfortable and warm. Denise is organized and easily communicated everything I needed to know. I enjoyed my short stay and would sit with Luna again if the schedules aligned.

Cheryl

My best sit yet! Cheryl and Harry are the loveliest people, the cats are sweet and unique, and the house is comfortable and well-located. Mixy is cuddly and will want to hang out as much as you can, which I loved. Kubbie is not a snuggly, but even he always hung around nearby and slept with me one night. And they both are really beautiful cats.

The house is a real home, and I felt very welcome. The kitchen is a cook's dream. If I'd stayed longer and weren't beat from a long trip, I would have been overjoyed to make a real meal there. The guest bedroom upstairs is cozy with a great view. It was easy to be car-free, too, with amazing transit options and local walks. 

I hope the cats and humans liked me enough to come back some day!

Agnes

Unfortunately, this sit was canceled. But I had wonderful communication with the pet owners prior to the visit and with the week of cancelation. The pet owners were very kind and I'm excited to be invited back if our schedules should line up again.

Sean

Penny is a wonderful dog who is full of love and energy.  My husband  and daughter had a wonderful time pet sitting her.   She is friendly, cuddly, and active dog who loves her walks!
