Pet Sitters in Wermelskirchen

Sara and her family were wonderful! Sara was very responsive and thoughtful in coordinating the details of what was needed. My older dog Lucy was quite pampered with extra walks and treats. I appreciated getting updates throughout the week to assure me things were going well. And a bonus, her husband Tom fixed our dryer so it vented properly. They left the house extremely near and tidy with clean beds made up. I would recommend Sara and her family in a heartbeat.

This is the second time Michelle has stayed with Ruthie and Rosie. She is quick to respond to all communication and you can count on her to arrive on time as promised. Michelle reached out with any questions she had and left the house in perfect order. Do not hesitate to sign her up as your housesitter!

As I was going to be away for 7 weeks I did a full days handover with Liza and left confident she would be able to cope with my pets requirements and the basic upkeep of my house. I pre-warned Liza on 12th June , before she had booked her flights, there may be some works spilling over into her 7 week sit. The reason being we had a house fire in March which had caused a lot of smoke damage. She confirmed she was , and I quote “ Totally ok about the jobs! I actually used to be in property management , so am used to helping facilitate these types of job ha ha :)”. During the sit I became concerned from comments from the workmen that had been carrying out jobs on my house, post fire, and work in the garden. I hoped their concerns might be exaggerated, unfortunately when I returned home I found his was not the case. On reflection I think that the large number of pets, the size of the house and the jobs that needed to be carried out during her sit along with the long duration of the sit was too much for her to cope with competently. Below are my biggest concerns on my return home , comments from my neighbours, workmen/ family friend ◦ no water down for my dogs ◦ very small container of water for my cats ◦ Small bowl of dirty water for my chickens ◦ Dogs food bowls in the garden next to each other containing swollen kibble. My dogs must be separated when eating. Liza knew this, they are not grazers there are a lot of insects here as it is rural ◦ All my cats had lost weight ◦ Nala my female dog lost weight and bald patches of fur ◦ Leo my male dog put weight on ◦ A very strong smell of cat urine and dog fur when entering the house ◦ Lots of fur loose and chunks around all the edges of all floors ◦ Bins full ◦ Fridge dirty and contained perished food ◦ Deep scratches on the passenger door of my car . I spent time and money to add Liza to my car insurance for the duration of the sit. My car is by no means pristine, I would have appreciated being told she had damaged ◦ Plants that had both sentiment value and plants that cost in the region of 200 euros dead or dying, both inside and outside the house. I understand the weather was hot, the same as last year, yet with correct watering I didn’t lose any. The hot weather should not have affected the indoor plants, again last summer I didn’t lose any ◦ Neighbours comments - ◦ The dogs were out in the garden for many hours most days. ◦ Both my attached neighbour and next door but one neighbour heard my dogs barking and howling for hours most days ◦ Insufficient clean water and shade for my chickens ◦ Workmen / family friend comments - ◦ No housework was done until the night before my return ◦ The floors were covered in a thick layer of fur until the night before my return ◦ He found it difficult to prepare his lunch as all work surfaces were covered with her belongings and fur ◦ He was worried to store his lunch in my fridge, it was that dirty ◦ The cats were crying at him for food regularly ◦ Liza was friendly to him but he didn’t see her doing anything with any of the pets or the house ◦ His thoughts were that “it was a holiday for her “ If I were asked for a recommendation for Liza I would have to decline. I am an animal lover and would not wish my experience on anyone. I was tired after 3 flights and 18 hours of travelling I asked my neighbour, who had befriended Liza to please keep her with her so I could sleep before dealing with the conditions I was met with on my return home. As Liza left at 6am the following morning my friend very kindly drove her to the train station. I have tried numerous time to speak to Liza since , she doesn’t answer my calls. She messages back stating she wants to speak to me once she has arrived back in Tennessee. I was keen to speak to her before by phone or by message. She has declined every attempt by me to communicate since 31st August it is now 4th September . I am sure she has had signal and 5 minutes spare during her journey home. I decided to go ahead with my review before speaking to her as I can’t for-see any explanation for the way she has treated my pets and home. I checked in with Liza numerous times to ensure everything was going well . She never once said there was a problem. If she had communicated there was I would have been happy to make alternative arrangements with another sitter or I would have returned home early. My pets and their welfare are very important, I am devastated after joining this site to have had this experience.

Second time Julia sat for us and she was amazing! Super communicative, clean, and responsible. We are so grateful!! Highly recommend!

Tess was great to work with! She took great care of our birds, plants and house, and she communicated quickly, clearly and pleasantly. She sent us regular photos of our birds and left the house neat and spotless. We are very happy and would definitely welcome her back any time!

Rachel and Andy were great. We'd definitely use them again. Communication was great and our 4 fur babies loved them.

Claudia is the best!

It was a pleasure to have Avery as a house sitter. We got pictures and updates daily, the house was clean and tidy on our return, she had fun with our neighbors, and Sunny got plenty of exercise and attention. I would recommend her without hesitation.

They did an amazing job taking care of our home and our dog, Kali. We would welcome them back any time and highly recommend them to anybody!

I spent some time with this young couple and enjoyed getting to know them. This was the first time I had a child with the sitter. Pippa slept with the child part of the first night! If my cats are happy, I'm happy. I would invite them again.

It was so wonderful to have Karen back! I feel at ease when she’s caring for Rocky and my home. She’s a great communicator and left my house spotless. Grateful she returned to pick up where she left off with Rocky - and that she forgives him for being a bed hog! :)

Jeanie was excellent and so helpful to our family in a last minute crunch to take care of our pets. She was super attentive, walked the dog daily, and took pics and sent updates. Couldn’t have asked for better care. Thank you so much for everything, Jeanie!

David and Pam and the boys could not have been any more wonderful! They took excellent care of our senior dog Sam, took him for walks and paid a lot of attention to him. I think he was sad when they left. We also had 5 cows and 2 donkeys who appreciated their attention. They left our home in immaculate condition, and Pam had baked us a loaf of sourdough bread to enjoy upon our return. I love that David communicated with us regularly, sent updates and pics daily. We are very grateful that the McIntires traveled all the way from Pennsylvania to care our home and dog and livestock! They are the best!!

I really can’t say enough about how wonderful our experience was. It was the first time using this service and also leaving our current pets for that amount of time. Tim and Chris were so nice and personable from the very beginning of meeting them. They put our minds at ease immediately. They kept in touch with photos and updates daily, and our house looks exactly like it did when we left it. So I really couldn’t even ask for anything more. If you are a helicopter pet owner and have anxiety about leaving your fur babies (and home) during an extended vacation, then I highly recommend this wonderful couple.

Jen and Zack were wonderful! They were very self sufficient and provided detailed updates about our dog without being overly intrusive. Our dog was very well taken care of, even in the midst of a huge rainstorm that he was not a fan of. Jen and Zack took great care of the house and were a pleasure to coordinate with. I’d definitely recommend them if they’re traveling in your area!

Diana was very gentle but efficient with her duties and caregiving both. She played and loved on the girls so much, they're expecting us to follow suit! And our little spooky girl allowed her to spend time in the same room the first night - has never happened! That tells m3 Diana is an awesome Cat Mama your felines must meet!

Nicole was wonderful and so happy to have her sit twice!

We were lucky that Courtney took care of our cat Hanna while we were on vacation for two weeks. Courtney is a very loving cat sitter who provided us with lots of pictures and videos every day. Hanna was obviously doing very well and enjoyed her time with Courtney. When we came back from vacation, we found a relaxed cat and a tidy apartment. Warmest recommendation for Courtney!

Our dogs were so well cared for and loved, I’m not sure they were that happy to see us! Seriously, Kate and Vince were superlative sitters, loving our dogs, caring for our home with good cheer (in spite of some maintenance hiccups) and making a hit with neighbors and locals - Vince even taught some ESL classes that were a huge hit! We enjoyed meeting them and learning a little of their impressive backgrounds, and were 110% satisfied with all aspects of the sit. Kate and Vince are gems, and we would have them sit again anytime.

Claudia was great, I never managed to meet her due to a last minute work trip but the house was immaculate and all animals happy upon our return. Thank you 🙂
