We recently went out of town and needed a pet sitter for our two dogs. It’s always hard to use a new pet sitter that you allow in your home. We met with Heather of PAWsitive Stay and immediately felt comfortable. Heather is serious about her job. She took notes and asked questions. She is personable and thoughtful. We received regular updates and pictures. Our house looked great when we got home, dogs were happy. We were so pleased that we booked a longer stay for later in the year! Rest assured that Heather will do a wonderful job and we highly recommend her.
Details: Dog • 2 pets • Taking pet outside • Providing companionship • Giving food and water • Overnight visit (10-12 hours) • Once in total • My home, venue, etc.

Heather is the best! She was very prompt. And was very attentive to both my doggies. I would recommend her to anyone who needs to have their dogswalked because she is great with them. Looking forward to seeing her again. As a matter of fact, she is, at this moment walking my kids around my community. That is so wonderful. The best to you Heather and thank you so much .

Heather was a great help for my wife and I because we had to fly out for a couple of days on a business trip and our new 9 month old puppy Cosmo is a bit of a handful, in addition to our skittish cat Logan, we needed someone to take care of them and have our minds in peace while we were away. Heather provided exactly that by being on time, sending picture and video updates of ours pets throughout the day and doing generally what we requested her to do. We will be using her services from now on everytime we have to leave for more than a day. Thank you Heather!!

Heather really helped get us thru all of the things we needed from a pet and house sitter and made me feel very comfortable leaving my fur babies in her care.

Our senior dog was wandering near our pool and Heather rushed right over to put her back behind the gate so she couldn't fall in. This dog is 17, can't hear and can hardly walk. I was worried about leaving her with a pet sitter but I now see how dedicated Heather is and I am much less worried now.
