Pet Sitters in West Bay, FL

Lisa

Lisa took such good care of our cat and home. From the first meeting and throughout her stay, we felt comfortable about her. She sent us frequent updates and pictures to show us that she had bonded with our cat and that everything was going well. She is very responsible and trustworthy. I highly recommend her and would have her stay again in a heartbeat!

Janet & Ken

Janet and Ken were terrific house and pet sitters. Everything went smoothly with clear communications throughout. They sent cute cat photos, left me several thoughtful gifts, and left my house in tip-top condition. It was a pleasure having them sit for me and my kitty. They're welcome back anytime!

Sandra

Sandra did an incredible job caring for our big bernedoodle! She was very communicative and kind during her stay. We got updates of what she was up to with our pup throughout the week. She left our space super tidy for our return as well!

Christopher & Jessica

This was the second time Christopher & Jessica took care of our pets and our home. We sure hope they come back again soon!!! They showed up exactly when they said they would, are extremely friendly, and keep in constant communication. Upon arriving home, it looked like we were stepping into a brand-new house! Did I mention that we can't wait for them to come back...??? :)

Evan

Evan took wonderful care of Baxter while I was away. The house was neat and tidy when I arrived back and Baxter was a very happy dog. I would love to have Evan sit again, if his schedule permits!

Teresa & L

Teresa was wonderful with our two dogs! She took great care of them and our house! Thank you so much, Teresa!!!

Jordan

Jordan was very patient with some overrunning DIY, and was a great house sitter. Left the place very clean and tidy and took Ruby on lots of walks

Vanessa

She's the best! She's taken care of my dog Joey and my house several times and I couldn't ask for a better housesitting experience.

Kristina

Kristina is awesome she really went above and beyond. If she had a question about the house or our pets she asked instead just assuming which we REALLY appreciate since I have 4 dogs and we have to run a tight ship with everyones needs here. She said she loved it and our dogs which means alot, because we do too! It can be a little nerve racking to leave such a big responsibility to a new person, but she was a professional and very conscientious. We love her and hope she will pick us again.

Victoria & Filipp

Victoria and Fillip were great caretakers for our home and our pup Trixie. I was very happy with the care that they gave our pet and how happy she seemed to be while we were away. When we returned to the house, it was clean and appeared that they had done a great job caring for our plants. The reason for the 1 star removed from the review is due to a few things. The first being, that we received some photos of our pet on a trip to the river, which was very concerning. Though everything worked out fine and she seemed to have a great time, it was very nerve-wracking to hear about this after the fact and normally we would not approve such a trip as we have concerns for safety and well being if we're not there. The other being that communication was quite limited during our somewhat longer trip. We often had to prompt for any sort of update, which can be frustrating as we're trusting our housesitter to give updates every few days, and that wasn't quite a priority. Aside from this, we would still highly recommend Victoria and Fillip as they were wonderful caretakers for our pet and ultimately very reliable.

Christina

Christina was a wonderful pet sitter. We would recommend her to anyone. She was an excellent communicator both before, during and after the sit. We received Dailey updates and photos on both our cat and dog. The house was returned just as we left it! Would definitely have her sit again.

Carol Ann

Carol and Dennis were very friendly and had great communication. This was our first sitting and we were nervous about not having our home ready or having issues with Gunner but with Carols daily/multiple times a day text updates and pictures of Gunner, it was very relaxing for us. Unfortunately, our pup was very energetic and mouthy during their arrival ... So we will be looking for new ways to introduce him to future sitters. He is a 85lb puppy that still doesn't know his size and so that was worrisome for us with them as an older couple. However, Gunner enjoyed the time with them and they also enjoyed his goofy personality!

Mary

Mary and I have now become friends! It was such a pleasure caring for Angelina and Dulce, in a community full of kind and helpful neighbors. The town is beautiful and very safe, with lots of restaurants and shopping. I’m very thankful for the opportunity to spend time with such good pets and people 🙂

Karen

What a wonderful experience! Karen was very kind and welcoming. We had a call before the stay to get oriented around the routines and responsibilities. That helped us get right in the groove when we arrived. Emmet, Gus, and Nala are such loves. They are all wonderful pets and we really enjoyed spending time with them. Nala was independent and spent time indoors and outdoors. She would come visit with us more as the stay progressed. Emmet is the sweetest old guy, but has some mobility limitations. Walks to the park across the street were his big outings of the day (am & pm). He loved getting his sniffs in, and would always go potty there. Gus was ready to roll, so we took him on hikes or long walks around the neighborhood each day too. He was very familiar with the roads and trails. Loved swimming with us in the pool too! A true Labrador. The home and neighborhood were so lovely and inviting. We were sad to say goodbye to our new furry friends, and hope we’ll have an another opportunity to care for them. Thank you so much, Karen!

Gina

I loved this sit so much. Kingston is a dream, he’s an absolute sweetheart and very easy going. Gina’s house is lovely, the kitchen is amazing, and the area is safe. Gina is also a fantastic host—thoughtful and communicative. I highly recommend!
