Cat Sitters in Melbourne, FL

Marnie and Rob are the nicest couple and so conscious of their sit and any requirements. I knew they would be great when Marnie came in with her notepad and pen and wrote every detail down. Plus she had some great questions for me prepared things I hadn’t thought of. My three kitties and my plants were so well taken care of I had no worries while I was away. Marnie checked in and sent me some pics and we even had an unexpected incident with a snake in which they handled everything very well! I would highly recommend Marnie and Rob and hope to have them back again.

Michelle & Jason are wonderful communicators and loved on our dog Boo so much! It was a long visit (13 days) and they sent pics and videos of our sweet girl throughout our absence. They went above and beyond, leaving the house clean, washing & drying their sheets and towels, and leaving us flowers, a card, brownies, and a homemade dinner to pop in the oven when we returned!! WOW! You will be very fortunate to ever have this sweet couple come into your home. We are happy to endorse them with 100% confidence.

Juli was amazing! She kept such a good eye on all of our 5 dogs! She was super communicative and alerted us to anything out of the ordinary. She made sure to send lots of pictures of all the love she was giving our babies. We will for sure have her back again!

Shannon was awesome, paid attention to my pups needs and left the place cleaner than she found it!

I have so many good things to say about Sharon and Dennis! First, they are lovely people with whom I instantly felt comfortable. (They have some family in the neighborhood, so I met them a few months before our sit). Sharon is very organized and communicative, taking time to ensure their arrival and our departure were synced. I could tell they read the manual front to back since she asked great questions about our pups and daily routine. They sent daily pictures of their long walks through the Stanford campus and updated us on our pet's shenanigans. We returned to a spotless house, a lovely note, and wine! They are in high demand for excellent reasons, and I would love to have them sit for us again.

Diane and Gary were very loving to our dog Bella who loves cuddles and she never missed giving her her cuddles! Diane always sent us pictures by text to let us see our Bella. Gary walked her twice a day.I would highly recommend Diane and Gary to anyone who needs a pet sitter and our home was well looked after and left very clean.

Very self sufficient and able to figure out my apartment complex layout perfectly fine. Dogs were well cared for and loved. She left my home spotless, it looked like no one had been here!

Jolene was incredible! We were strangers to her yet she rearranged her own travel plans so she could sit for our critters. She is unflappable, too. With Hurricane Dorian looming in the news, she didn't hesitate to come on, content to hold the fort come Dorian or high water! (Fortunately, the storm held off, and waited for our return). She left the house in beautiful shape and the pets looking well-cared for. Oh, and her dog Penny is as sweet as can be and was no threat at all to our little Schnauzer and 3 cats. I would invite Jolene back in a minute--no, sooner! Very likeable, capable and ready to roll with circumstances.

I had a troubling experience with Victoria that I feel is necessary to share because I believe it’s important for others in this community to be aware of what happened.   Victoria informed me she was leaving day 6 into an 18 day stay with a little more than 12 hours notice while I was 600 miles away with no backup plan for our dog Jackson.    The first few days with Jackson went well. She communicated when I reached out along with pictures of them laying together on the couch and getting along very well.  On day 6 she texted me to say Jackson had growled at her while physically trying to get him up from laying on her.  She said she was frightened and asked if I had anyone else that could watch him.   I immediately called her to try to understand what happened and explained that he was most likely startled rather than wanting to attack her. As I was asking questions about the incident, as I felt I had a right to do, she became extremely defensive and yelled at me on the phone. Admittedly my voice was heightened due to panic but I did not yell. I was simply trying to understand the extreme change in her demeanor from previously texting me she doesn’t easily get flustered, stressed or live in fear to being so frightened she wanted to leave. Knowing my questions upset her I apologized however after ending our call she immediately texted and said she was leaving at 10am.   Despite repeatedly telling her that my son, who lives nearby, was out of town, and that I had no other options, she showed no consideration for my situation. Her decision to simply leave our dog stranded was incredibly distressing. I had to cancel my evening plans to find alternate arrangements for the remainder of our trip, which, happens to be my other son’s wedding.   While there are other details that aren’t directly related to her pet-sitting duties, I believe it’s important to highlight the lack of professionalism and consideration she showed. I hope this review helps others make an informed decision through my experience.

Dominik was amazing. He came last minute and was incredibly accommodating to be sure that my macaw was used to him before I left. He kept the house incredibly tidy. He is such a wonderful person. pretty just loved him. Would love to have Dominik back again.

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!

Ragan was fantastic! She kept us informed and had great communication throughout our trip with pictures and other information. She clearly has a heart for animals it shows! If you need a quality sitter, I wouldn’t hesitate to have her back! Thank you Ragan!
