Cat Sitters in Orchid, FL

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.

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

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.

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.

My travel dates are usually set in stone and don’t change before or during the travel period I’ve originally designated. This trip was very different. My daughter was pregnant with my second grandchild, and since it was a high-risk pregnancy, there was a chance - but we didn’t know for sure - that the baby would be delivered before the expected due date. Michaela knew this and agreed to be on standby. In fact, I left a week earlier than originally planned, and I ended up coming home about two days earlier than planned. Michaela took all of this in stride and Was very kind and generous with her time. She also did a great job pet sitting for Bonita, and she kept the house clean. I would definitely ask her to pet sit again, if she would only have me… And Bonita! Thank you, Michaela!

Randy had sat for me several times and the sit worked out great for both. Unfortunately this time was not the case. In the springtime in my area, male carpenter bees begin to look for wood and create holes for the females to lay their eggs. Carpenter bees look like large bumble bees and are harmless. They don't even have stingers. Randy reacted in the extreme when she saw these on my deck and porch. Carpenter bees are great pollinators and should not be killed. She contacted me after day two and said she could not stay at my house another night. At that time I was 2,500 miles away, about to enter the Sierra Nevada Mountains and soon would not have cell phone access. I stopped my trip and contacted a pest control company to ask what they could do. I learned Randy had also done so and we both learned there was little they could do that would make any difference in the next 24-48 hours. Randy felt this was my problem since I knew they were on the deck and I should have done something before she arrived. I told her I had not, because I knew they were harmless and not to be feared. This did not matter to her and she said she would not stay any longer. I had no choice but to contact and hire a paid sitter to look after my dog for the remainder of the sit. Needless to say, I will not have Randy ever sit for me again.

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!

Venise was very flexible when we had to change our dates at the last minute and took great care of Blue.

Michelle was extremely patient with my needy dogs. We were very pleased with her care and consideration in taking care of my home and pets. I highly recommend her as a sitter.

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!

Jenna and Jeremy clearly looked after Arthur so well, I don’t think he even noticed we had gone! Their communication ahead of the sit was great. The house was clean and tidy when we returned. Would 100% recommend them for any sit.
