Cat Sitters in Mount Vernon, NC

Julie & Scott

Julie and Scott were spectacular house/pet sitters! They were very thorough with asking questions and understanding Murphy’s routine. They sent lots of pictures. They left the house clean (even washed the towels and sheets they used!) Can’t say enough good things about them. We highly recommend them and will definitely ask them back!!!

Dennis & Leigh

We thoroughly enjoyed having Dennis stay at our home with our pets. Dennis thoroughly read the house instructions, asked questions when he had them, and was responsible in every way. He took great care of our big dog Hank who seemed to quickly bond with him. Our cat Reuben needs insulin shots twice daily, and Dennis was able to manage this without problem. The pets were happy and the house was tidy when we arrived home. Dennis was great, kind, and independent. We would be delighted to have him sit for us again.

Kaley

Kaley was in tune with our animals, which is paramount to our house sits. Klondike and Clementine visited with her at the MandarInn guest house, which shows how comfortable they were with her care. She did see our somewhat feral cat Cals as well, which means Cals was OK with her. The chickens were all fine on our return with many eggs still being laid. The coop was in order with food and water out for the girls and Buck A Roo. Kaley collected our mail and packages which is also a good feature of having a Zeewoi. It was also good to have her in and out making sure all was OK at our house. We have had 2 family members that had water leaks while they were away that caused home damage, so having a TH at our house was comforting. Kaley was easy to communicate with and responsive to texts so we knew what was going on while we were away. We would certainly have Kaley return !

Sandra

Sandra was very experienced and took good care of our dog Stella. Unfortunately, we found that our communication styles did not really mesh. Weeks before the sit, if we did not reply to Sandra instantly she got rather frantic and seemed overly anxious about the details of the sit. We always want our house sitters to feel comfortable and know what they are walking into, but it was a bit difficult to manage the level of communication Sandra required in advance of her stay. During the stay, our emergency contact was also contacted for a simple question about a light switch, just hours after we had texted Sandra to check in and ask if she had any questions. Besides this, we are grateful for her help and our dog seemed to enjoy her time with Sandra.

Eileen

Eileen went above and beyond taking care of my cat who is still in that "terrible twos" stage. She immediately communicated if she had any questions or concerns and handled Felix's escape from his catio (completely my fault) like a pro. She also tried new toys to keep him entertained after he got a taste of freedom. Additionally my place was cleaner than when I left it. I would welcome her back any time, no hesitation.

JoAnn

JoAnn was great with our 2 Labrador Retrievers and our cat. I highly recommend JoAnn

Diana

We were so fortunate to have Diana care for our Boston Terrier. She sent us daily updates and photos which helped us feel completely at ease. She not only took amazing care of our pup, but she left our home immaculate! She even left us flowers! What a treat to come home to a fresh bouquet of blooms. 10/10!

Amanda

Amanda excelled in every way while caring for our two dogs. She gave them lots of love and attention and took great care of our home. We felt very comfortable knowing she was housesitting for us. If we could rate her higher than 5 stars, we would!

Miriam & Bruce

Miriam and Bruce were great! They really love my cats. I’ll request them next time I need a sitter. They even loved the bears!

Sylas

Sylas was a wonderful pet sitter and guest! He was super conscientious, friendly, and easy to communicate with. My dog was very relaxed and my home was in great shape when I returned, which is the best feeling. Thanks, Sylas!

Liz & Ian

Liz and Ian communicated clearly and kindly. They took wonderful care of my two dogs through awful weather. I would recommend them to anyone!

Katy

Highly recommend Katy. Not only was our house immaculate when we returned from our 2-week trip, but we felt completely confident that she was taking the best care of our cats. She went way above and beyond to continue helping past the original dates when our international flight was delayed. She really helped make our trip stress-free.

Steve

Nice folks. Took good care of our home and we’re grateful. The only hiccup was that we agreed the suite we had them in would be cleaned before they left and, best case, a really shoddy cleaning job was done. Not the end of the world but our schedule was so tight getting back, and it was the holidays, so finding a cleaning person to come in at the last minute after we saw how the unit was left was expensive and stressful.

tina & tom

Amanda, Eric and Liz minded our house and more important our pusses last week while we were away in Norfolk. They were perfect houseguests spoiling our little ones and the house was spick and span. They kept in touch and Cariad and Cerridwen were very happy with them and that is what matters most. A pleasure to share our home with them, thank you all!
