Janice
Austin, Minnesota
Mature, responsible, caring, animal lover.
We’ve had many great Petsitter’s, but Janice is by far one of the best we’ve had. She was detailed oriented and worked very hard to make sure Lola (and Chloe) were well taken care of. At Lola’s age and considering that she is such a picky eater, she can sometimes be trying, but Janice pulled out all the stops to make sure she ate and took her required medicine. She even went to a specialty pet store to buy Lola new dog food that she loved! She also took care of our tropical plants in a greenhouse in our backyard since the temps went below freezing, which was an unexpected task. The house was spotless when we returned. You would have never known someone was in our house! Janice is a great communicator—she sent us regular updates and pictures of Lola and Chloe, and she was always quick to respond to any text messages. She has a great sense of humor! I would highly recommend Janice, and we certainly hope we have the opportunity to have her in our home again.
Andrea
Austin, Minnesota
Eager to take care of your beloved pet(s) when you can’t bring them with you!
It was a pleasure to have Andrea sit for us. She took excellent care of our home and pets (2 cats and 2 hamsters). Before the sit she was very happy to talk and provide all the information and reassurance we were looking for. She was easily contactable both before and during the sit, providing updates as requested. At the end of the sit we really appreciated coming back to a clean and tidy home. We'd be extremely happy to welcome Andrea back to sit again in the future!
Kerry
Austin, Minnesota
Trustworthy, reliable and kind--excited to meet you and care for your home/pets!
Kerry was not only a lovely sitter for our two kitties, she was also fun to be around. We would have her back any time.
Thea
Austin, Minnesota
Community minded and trustworthy. Experienced pet, plant, and house sitting.
Thea was a great house and pet sitter. She coordinated her flight so we could meet before we left. The animals were well cared for and we were sent photos regularly. House was tidy and clean. Would recommend and have Thea sit again.
Jon
Austin, Minnesota
7 years home & pet-sitting experience, 5 years kennel experience
Jon, Raelene and their kids were absolutely wonderful house and pet sitters! We enjoyed having them in our home for about 10 days. They took great care of our dogs (and snake!) They sent pictures daily and their communication was outstanding. We came home to a very clean house which was greatly appreciated. We highly recommend them and would be more than happy to have them stay in our home again! 
Amy
Austin, Minnesota
Traveling Pet/House Sitter
Amy is a delightful young woman who looked after my fur fam during her travels in NZ from the US. She is bright, bubbly and capable person, who can organise travel and logistics with her eyes closed. Amy communicated well before and during the sit, and I felt comfortable with her staying at my home. I appreciated Amy's flexibility and willingness to fit in around what I needed. Thanks so much for being there with my kitties, Amy. I hope the rest of your travels are safe and happy.

animal and travel lover
Elizabeth was with my little calico cat for three weeks and she did a wonderful job! Fela was secure and happy when I returned and I think Fela and Elizabeth really enjoyed their time together. Win, win!
Kathleen Dawn
Austin, Minnesota
Active female retiree looking for opportunities to explore and enjoy your pets.
Dawn was fabulous! She was the nicest person and my dog loved her so much! She treated by house as it was hers! Would love to have her back!
Cayla
Austin, Minnesota
Your Perfect Home + Pet Carer
Cayla is great! She’s well organized, communicative, friendly, and detail oriented. All of our dogs (2) and cats (3) warmed up to her quickly and enjoyed spending time with her. She’s very thoughtful and intentional. She took great care of the space. Would highly recommend! We really enjoyed meeting her.
Rebecca
Austin, Minnesota
Looking forward to seeing new places & faces.
Becky did a great job while I was gone. She took excellent care of my pets and home. It was such a relief to be able to travel and know your pets were being well taken care of. She sent multiple photos, videos and updates confirming happy pets! She asked appropriate questions about home expectations and followed through so I came back to a clean house. The peace of mind that Becky provided meant so much. I would love to have her back again.
Reviews from Cat Owners
Katharine
Seàn was an amazing pet and house sitter! He was super communicative and took amazing care of my dog Nala and cat Bruce. They were happy and loved while I was away- I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for the two little fur babies! He sent great pictures and checked in every day so I had nothing to worry about. On top of all that, he also kept my place immaculately clean and left my place in wonderful shape. We can’t wait to have him back to sit and I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone looking for a sitter!
Hannah
Toby and Chloe were amazing pet sitters. It wasn’t the easiest sit - a nervous dog and 3 cats with various ailments and medication to have, but they took it all in their stride and cared for them so well without any issues. Our nervous dog Zelda warmed to them in just 2 days which is a record for house sitters so far! I also really enjoyed getting to know them over dinner the night before I left, they’re very easygoing and positive people. They also left the house spotless for when I came back. I would love to have them sit for us again. You can rest assured your house and animals are in safe hands with this lovely pair!
Anne
I never met Joi because due to her work, she arrived after I left and was gone before I returned home. This wasn't a problem at all. She was very self-sufficient and seemed to find all that she needed in my house. The house looked exactly like I left it and my cat seemed very content when I returned. Apparently they had a nightly routine of Luna getting brushed. Joi is a very experienced sitter and it shows.
Meghan
Kristi was an absolutely incredible sitter -- I think our favorite one ever! She was easy to communicate with, kind and personable, and took great care of our pets and our house. It was the first time we had left both our dog and our cat with a TH sitter and Kristi went above and beyond. She was very self-sufficient but provided fun updates and pictures and our pets loved her. Highly recommend!
Esther
We are thoroughly pleased with and impressed by Daniel's kind, generous, and careful care of our cat and our house. He is a committed and experienced sitter who completely understands his role and responsibilities and also how to gently win the confidence and affection of a pet. He is an excellent communicator, and he kept us regularly up to date on our cat's well being--sending us texts and photos at least once/week as we requested. Our cat who is a little afraid of new people, grew fond of him, and we have returned to a very calm, contented cat. We highly recommend Daniel, and we ourselves would be thrilled to engage him again when the need arises.
Emelia
My partner and I left our cat Mango in Lindsey's care for a month so that we could get married. We were going from FL to ME, so it was a long way from home. We were gone for a month. Picking the right houses sitter was important. We are so glad we picked Lindsey (and she picked us). From before Lindsey got on her plan to fly down, until she was back home again Lindsey was communicative, considerate and positive. We felt like we had a family member staying at our place and because of who she is, Mango and our home's well being was a weight off our mind during the wedding. If the need arises in the future we will definitely be giving her the right of first refusal. Thank you so much Lindsey!

Tracy was an ideal pet sitter when we left for 12 days. She was communicative, friendly, and most importantly took perfect care of our two cats and our house. I would highly recommend her for any sit!

Greetings Pet People, I am a bit late leaving my review for Kristine who is local to us and has taken care of our kitties Max and Luis a few times this year. After COVID-19 was announced in March, our travel plans came to an abrupt halt. We had to cancel a lot of trips we had planned but decided that it was safe to go camping a couple of times this summer. We called on Kristine as one of our favorite sitters on this site. We discussed safety protocols and agreed to cleaning that we would do to leave the house safe for her to enter. She shared protocols that she had taken with other homeowners and had sound processes to make us feel safe leaving our cats and our home in her care. She even purchased batteries for our automatic cat feeder when it failed to let one of our confused kitties to eat. Kristine is a smart, humorous and a thoughtful person. I would not hesitate to recommend her for your sit. She truly loves animals and taking care of your home. Highly recommended! Thanks Kristine!

Tonya was great and filled in after our other sitter had to cancel. She was very self sufficient and navigated acclimating herself to everything since she arrived after we left. She gave thoughtful updates on my cat and I could tell she really enjoyed her, so that means the world to me! She left the place immaculate and we will certainly have Tonya back!
danica and ajit
Super nice sitters and extremely flexible. Really enjoyed their company and I only regret that I was too frazzled to chat with them more and get to know them! Kept the house super clean, pets loved them. Dog especially. Had a little problem with my new kitten not meshing well with the older cats (which was not too surprising since cats can be territorial). Pennee was very patient and gave me constant updates and tips. And the older cat was much more calm when I came home. Highly recommend and welcome back anytime!
