Pet Sitters in The Crossings, FL

Isabella

Very reliable and communicative— would def trust her with my pets again— thanks Isabella!

Natalia

Natalia was a great sitter. She was dependable, a good communicator and left the house clean and tidy. We can recommend her to care for your pet and house.

Monica & Matthew

Monica and Matthew were amazing! They provided regular updates and even took my dog to the vet when they noticed a mole on her eye seemed infected. I was so relieved that they caught it and took immediate action. My girls also loved them! Not only were they great dog sitters, but they also took excellent care of my home. It was spotless when I returned after 3 weeks of traveling, which was such a relief. I would definitely use them in the future if our schedules work out. Such a lovely couple! :)

Carol

Carol is absolutely wonderful. She is extremely warm and caring and took great care of Millie and another family member’s dog while we were away. She also took great care of our home. We’d welcome Carol back anytime.You could not wish for a better sitter for your pets and home. Thank you sweet Carol!

Tawni

Cata and Tawni spent more than two weeks in our home, and took care of our dog and two cats. They sent us pictures of them when we asked about them, and the house was clean and tidy when we got back home. They were quick to answer when we communicated over a time difference. The animals were happy, healthy and calm when we got back, and obviously enjoyed spending time with Cata and Tawni. Thank you again for taking care of our little family and home!

Susan

Susan is phenomenal! From our first interaction, she was communicative and accommodating. I got tons of updates about my animals while I was away. She went above and beyond to help me. I had two forsters in addition to my usual pets, whom she very graciously cared for. My dog got so many walks and cuddles that I think he'd prefer it if I stayed away longer. She was kind and caring with my pets and treated my home respectfully. I would have her sit again in a heartbeat!

MICHAL

Michal and Mendel were amazing sitters!!! They cared for our senior dog and cat for two full weeks and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. They came and stayed at our house the night before we left so we wouldn't have to worry about a thing before catching our early flight. We had a nice time chatting with them for a bit, and then they kept to themselves while we ran around making last-minute preparations. On top of basic pet care, they gave our cat daily medicine and subcutaneous fluids every other day and took care of cleanup when she had accidents outside of her litter box. We came home to happy pets and a clean home. They are good people and great sitters - I highly recommend them!

Tom

Although I have used TH several times since 2018, this is the first review I have submitted. Tom has restored my faith in both TH in general and sitters under 30 in particular! Tom arrived late on a Friday night and I did not leave until Monday afternoon so I could show him around. At some point either on Saturday or early Sunday I noticed Tigger following him around. It was obvious he wanted to be close to Tom. I had never seen Tigger do this before. The previous sitter took good care of them, but I did not see much affection or connection even after 4 months together. With Tom I could see it almost immediately. It was mutual between him and the dogs. He cooked their meat and veggies to mix in with the kibble, gave Tigger his obligatory supplement every day and walked them very early on the beach before the sun was too hot, playing with them in the ocean at times. I received photos and an occasional video of them and could see how happy they were - to the point where I thought they might get depressed when he left! Fortunately, they didn't... Tom is just so calm with a lovely energy that the dogs obviously sense. Considering his prior experiences were mostly with cats I was surprised at how quickly he "clicked" with them and would highly recommend him as a sitter for any pet. If I could give him more than 5 stars in the pet care category I would! He did not complain when the internet was erratic and/or the electricity went off (for some reason, much more during the 2 months he was here than usually happens in the better part of a year!), but let me know so I could contact the neighbors and find out what was going on. As for the house and my possessions (I put those in the "tidiness" category) I have yet to have any sitter who has not left at least a few or sometimes many things either broken or damaged or even lost, not to mention dirty - even though they were clean when the sit started. The difference with Tom was that he good-naturedly came back (he stayed nearby at a new friend's house for a few days after the sit) and spent the better part of an afternoon cleaning most of the things that had been left dirty. And when I pointed out some damage to a wall he offered to pay to fix it (I did not accept, but very much appreciated the offer). Speaking of cleaning, I bought a brand new vacuum right before the previous sit started in order to make cleaning easier for the sitter. It was still in the box. When I returned it was lying on the living room floor covered in thick dust on the outside and filthy inside the drum where the filthy filters were; and the tube and attachment were completely clogged. I cleared out the tube, but gave up on the drum and filter after removing some of the dirt. I wasn't even sure it would work. Tom cleaned it all up and was able to use it! He also helped me upload a couple of photos onto my listing. He is so pleasant and considerate, asking about things he was in doubt about instead of just doing them and hoping he had made the right choice - unfortunately, I can't think of a specific instance right now and since I believe today is the last day to submit the review they will remain unsaid. In closing, I would like to publicly thank Tom for giving such loving care to Tigger and Shala. I highly recommend that you choose him as a sitter - your pets will thank you! :)

Maria jose

Maria went above and beyond to take care of my cat while I was away. She was communicative and understanding even when my cat was throwing tantrums at her. She made sure my cat's comfort comes first. I was grateful to have her as Momo's sitter

Magdalena

Magdalena had an emergency early on so left Sebastian to manage on his own. That's why a team sit is good! My dog probably had longer periods alone than we were expecting but at least there was no interruption. I believe Sebastian made extra efforts to adjust his work schedule to come home when the dog needed to be walked. I don't speak spanish very well but they tolerated my efforts and used as much English as they could. Texting and translation apps were enough to have good communication. They could have left the house cleaner by sweeping the floor and putting away items used. However the most important things were good care of my dog and trustworthiness which I was satisfied with. I think it would have been even better under different circumstances had Magdalena been able to stay the full two weeks.

Natasha

Nothing but amazing things to say. They took such great care of pretzel and my home.

Monique

Monique was truly amazing! She was an angel for my pup, Homer. He was really sad to see her go! She kept me updated throughout my time away, was super communicative before and during the trip, and even left my apartment cleaner than before I left. I highly recommend having her take care of your animals and home! Thank you again, Monique!!

Susie

Suzie and Brough are just wonderful hosts, who made me feel completely at home from the first minute of meeting them. They live in the most beautiful rural part of the Surrey Hills with endless walks over the South Downs. They were very responsive to my messages.

Tumble is energetic and just loves to please you, whilst Scampi if ever so agile for a mature dog, yet she has a mind of her own. Each day I would take them in the car to a nice dry walk, so that their paws and coat were reasonably clean - some local walks within 5 mile drive, Holmbury View, Leith Hill Place / House (National Trust, Rhododendron car park), Leith Hill Tower was my favourite walk with stunning views over Gatwick Airport.

This was a most enjoyable pet & house sit and one that I would be ever so happy to do once again. Thank You. Stan

Larry

Over the years, I've learned that it's better not to get too carried away with expectations because you never know how things will turn out. I joined Trusted Housesitters because I saw Larry and Tessa's listing and thought it sounded too wonderful to pass up, but could it really be as perfect as it sounded? Well yes...yes it could! I feel incredibly fortunate to have had my first house and pet sit here. To start, Tessa and Larry were completely supportive of me bringing my one-year-old chocolate lab. Their trust meant a lot and this was one of many ways they made me feel completely at home. Second, the pups! Ziggy is an irresistible little bundle of fur baby who won't let any dog boss him around. Sometimes I just had to sit and watch him do his ziggy run around thing because he cracked me up. And Chica is a darling poodle who will just melt your heart into a million puppy pieces. They're both headstrong but incredibly easy to take care of and, most importantly, effortless to love. Third, Tessa and Larry are thoughtful, curious, trusting, trustworthy, generous, adaptable. In a situation where you're moving into a near stranger's house for a short while, working with people who are fundamentally good is a non-negotiable. And finally, the house! It's impossible to describe it without considering all the points I just mentioned, because a house is one thing but a home is something completely different. I felt 100% at home at Tessa and Larry's but I also felt like I was on an incredible vacation at a sought-after resort or AirBnB where I could watch the sun set over the mesas every night, walk the trails on the property, look up at the starry sky, take a shower in the gorgeous bathroom, ride the Peloton, cook dinner in the wonderful kitchen, scoot down the road and visit Mesa Verde National Park. Anyhow, the place is truly magical and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. Thanks Larry and Tessa for a wonderful experience and see you next time!

Nicola

So many incredible things to say about this perfect petsit...

First, Duncan is quite possibly the most adorable, lovable, photogenic, playful, AND peaceful pup I’ve ever had the joy to care for. I’m already missing him, & was just with him yesterday! 

Second, Nicola & family are just as wonderful, kind, easy to communicate with, & were super-appreciative. They were especially easy-going homeowners considering they not only have this sweetheart of a doggy to make sure is well taken care of, but also one of THE most gorgeous homes in a prime location in Brooklyn. They had simple home & pup instructions which made you feel so welcome & at ease. 

Third, their Cobble Hill neighborhood has rich history, & is one of the most stunning parts of Brooklyn to walk around. One beautiful home after another, safe, and close to every store & public transportation you could ever need to get throughout NYC. 

A real gem. I hope I’m always available for any future dates they may need, but if not, I’d take this sit in a heartbeat if I were you!!!

Andy

Two lovely pups! And a great location in Hove. Very comfortable stay and lots of love from Nala and Indi.

Louise

Some people just make you feel welcome immediately - that's Louise and Nick.
It was an absolute pleasure to sit Bena and Saffy and the chickens in their beautiful and peaceful home.
Louise was so kind to fill the fridge with goodies and run through everything I need to know methodically before they left. 
I had a lovely time!! Thank you both so much!

Celina

We had a great experience at Celine`s home. We loved looking after Bailey (Biegalier) and Maxy (Cavoodle). 
Now we miss them ! -the nicest well behaved dogs ever and the location and house is fantastic. 
Maxy can sometimes be strong willed while walking, especially if he sees a seagull!  but it was not a problem.
Celine provided us with all the information we needed to look after the dogs needs and in managing the house.
I would highly recommend to others to look after Bailey and Maxy in this great location.
