Cat Sitters in Lakewood Park, FL

Carly

As always it was wonderful to have Carly staying in our home. Guinness was well taken care of and very happy when we arrived home. Communication was excellent. Thank you for taking care of our home and our pet Carly!

Holly

Holly was prepared for the New Providence experience - her previous experiences in the Bahamas and with dogs were no doubt helpful. Holly is outgoing, energetic, proactive, and industrious. She takes on experiences and challenges as opportunities. She made garden and beach improvements and caught and prepared the best cracked conch ever. We especially appreciated her expertise and special care of our 3 dogs, and the attention she gave to their individual and collective needs. She communicates well and sent photos showing the dogs were having their best beach days ever. Mudpie the Cat was happy with a privileged position on the bed. We are happy to recommend Holly as a Trusted House / Pet Sitter.

Doreen

I was fortunate to have Doreen stay at my home to keep my cat, Fozzie, company. Fozzie is pretty set in his ways. He doesn’t like change. In the past when I’ve left him with someone coming once per day I was greeted upon my return by being shunned by him. It would take a few days for Fozzie to get over being mad. I’m happy to say that was not the case this time. Fozzie was his usual self and seemed quite content. Doreen was still at the house when I arrived home. She was just finishing up laundering the used linens and towels. The house was neat and clean. Turns out Doreen has quite the green thumb and had taken to nursing my withering orchid plants. My plants don’t generally thrive. Doreen passed on a few tips and I hope to keep them on the road to blooming. I would highly recommend Doreen, and her husband Rick, to anyone needing pet or house sitting.

Alex

Very flexible and so sweet!

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!

Lisa

Lisa really made our trip much more relaxing because we were not worried about our fur babies the whole time. The pets took to her immediately and she took great care of them. She sent us regular updates with pictures and she left the house very clean. We will definitely have Lisa as a pet setter again.

Sarah

Sarah was a fantastic sitter very loving toward Frankie and very conscientious of the home. I would highly recommend her to anyone it put me at ease to know that Frankie was with somebody who really cared.

Rodger & Loretta

Rodger and Loretta were amazing sitters. Gracie fell in love with them immediately and from the pictures they sent, I could tell they were having a good time together. They kept me updated and left the house cleaner than they found it, including washing the sheets, and making up the beds! My neighbors enjoyed meeting them. I would invite them back in a heartbeat and highly recommend them.

Theo

Theo was absolutely wonderful, he sent frequent updates while I was away, and I came back to comforting clean house and a very happy Eddie. Would certainly ask Theo to sit for us again!

Madison

Madison was great! She took excellent care of our fur family. She sent us photos and updates and left the place very clean. We would have her back anytime!

James

James and Jessica took great care of Bob. It was stormy one night and James let me know that he gave Bob his anxiety med. They had a playdate with my neighbor's dog and Bob seemed very well taken care of. They were self sufficient and left the house exactly as we left it. Thanks for taking such great care of Bob!

Carol

Carol and Michael were Fabulous!!! Pearl was pampered to the max, and our home was spotless upon our return. Carol sent frequent photos to us during our time away. We’ve already arranged for them to stay here again next year!!!

Jane

Pippa was really reliable and looked after our cat and house really well. She was really friendly and easy to communicate with to arrange everything. It was lovely knowing everything was in very safe hands! The house was spotless when we returned which was really appreciated too. I’d happily have Pippa and her daughter to sit for us again.

Alain ( &Victoria)

If you were to call Central Casting and ask them to send you the perfect pooch watching , house sitters  they would send you Katie and Dan. They looked after the house with great care and were incredibly attentive and caring with the pooch. In fact I'm surprised the pooch didn't go home with them. They sorted out a visit to the vet when she split a claw and then looked after when she came home wearing the collar of shame! They also managed a problem which arose with our gate. They are excellent communicators, enterprising and reliable.  The house was just as we left it when we got back. We felt entirely at ease leaving them in charge for nearly 3 weeks and would have them back again in a heartbeat. Thank you both.
