Tricia is very organised and tidy. She is wonderful with pets, my little dog needs a fair bit of attention at times, and he was so settled when I arrived back home. My house was exactly the way I left it. Thanks Tricia I will be booking you again.

Greg was very attentive to our cat. He communicated with us regularly as she is an older cat and she has been having mobility problems. We came home from holiday to find a relaxed cat and very tidy house. I would totally recommend Greg for anyone looking for a reliable, responsive house sitter and would have no hesitation asking him to sit for us again.

Megan was such a fabulous house sitter for us for nearly 3 months. She was proactive in resolving an issue with our cat. She communicated clearly and concisely, when required. The house was left so clean we couldn’t recommend Megan more highly. We hope she will be available again in the future for us.

Lauri and Pam are terrific sitters, and come highly recommended by our spoodle Mintie. They communicated very well leading up to the sit, and arrived promptly as promised. The house was left in a very clean and tidy order, and did a great job looking after Mintie. We would welcome them back any time.

Rachel & Henry were great. Arrival was on time, handover was easy and smooth and Poppy immediately took to them. We had regular updates and photos from them, and arrived back to a very tidy house and a happy dog. 100% recommended.

Jemima and her partner Brad were very easy to communicate with. We 'met' over a WhatsApp video call. They let us know of their arrival time and arrived at that time. We met in person just before we headed off. They sent us pictures and an update while we were away and the house was left spotless on our return. The animals were well cared for. We would love to have them stay again and would highly recommend Jemima and Brad to care for your pets and house.

It was lovely to welcome Anika and Ross back to sit for a second time. After their Spring visit, Summer is much more difficult to manage, especially on days hovering around 40° with the plants and animals. They handled it brilliantly and we could totally relax while we were away. Their communication was excellent, we received updates, they were honest, organised and were great with all our animals and with the plant watering! We would of course recommend them to anyone and everyone!

Aaron & Sandra were amazing sitters. They confirmed well in advance of our dates. Stayed in contact in the lead up, and coordinated with us on timings with ease. They came and did a handover, and also stayed to handover on return too. They left our apartment spotless, the dogs were clearly happy and content and we saw this in the regular updates too. We loved having them stay with us and would recommend them a hundred time over

Ally was great! 
We got to meet for a few minutes before I headed out and I felt super reassured that both Goose and my home were in good hands. 
My cat is picky when it comes to strangers, but he was comfy in Ally’s lap right away the first night! 
She communicated well and sent cute pictures while I was away. My home was clean and Goose was happy when o got back. 
I highly recommend Ally as a sitter and she’s welcomed back anytime!

There are not enough words in the English language to express my deepest gratitude to Teresa and all the amazing love and care she showed my sweet cat Milo.

From the moment she met Milo, I knew there was going to be a very special bond. 
He instantly relaxed when he first met and already looked so happy and at peace with her. The bond between the two of them only seemed to get stronger and stronger with every day that I was away.

This two-week trip was so important for me as it was the first real "vacation" I had taken in a few years. I was in desperate need of a mental and physical break and knew that in order to have a true "time off', I needed to feel completely at peace with Milo being well-taken care of.

Well my prayers were answered as Teresa was the "cat whisperer" I was hoping for.

I could not have asked for a better, more compassionate, self-reliant, and intuitive sitter ! 

Teresa was also so diligent in sending me her daily picture and video updates of my cat. With every picture and video I saw, I knew that Milo was so happy being with her and I never worried for one minute while I was away. What a gift !

Teresa was also a serious life-saver for me as literally an hour before I was leaving for my trip, I found out my cat's tracker app was not working and after a few emails and phone calls, we found out the tracker's server was down.

Teresa took the initiative to follow up with getting the tracker to work again which was a HUGE stress-relief for me . She is not only wonderfully savvy with animals but also with technology as well ! 

I feel so fortunate to have Teresa in my life now, not only as an amazing sitter for Milo but also as a wonderful friend for life! 

Thank you, Teresa for everything....

Milo and I so appreciate you .....

Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked.  She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country.   She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!

Kimberly was a wonderful sitter who watched our two cats for us while we were out. She was willing to come a day early to help acclimate herself with the animals, and this was exceedingly helpful in making sure the cats would be comfortable with her during our absence. I would highly recommend Kimberly if you're looking for a responsible, caring sitter.

Daniel and Vasylyna were incredible house sitters and we would welcome them back to sit for us again any time they are available! They were fantastic communicators, making sure to work out details far in advance and they sent frequent picture updates of our animals which made us so happy while we were away. When the power went out in the neighborhood while they were here leading to a technology issue with our alarm system, they handled everything well. Upon our return, the house was clean, the garden was thriving and well cared for, and our dog and cat were clearly very loved while we were away - in fact our dog was sooooo sad to see them leave! I had the pleasure of getting to know them a bit before I left, and they are such a kind, adventurous, and great couple. I would highly recommend having Daniel and Vasylyna take care of your house, plants, and animals!

Laura came across the country to sit for us. She arrived a day early and from the moment my pets met her our Lokie was smitten. We have one shy cat Luna and she was out and about on the first night. Laura kept us updated and shared her Adventures as well. We do live in a small hideaway of a town so seeing that she was able to enjoy herself was nice. We returned to a clean home, laundry done also, and very content pets. Lokie was sad for a few days as he missed his friend. We would recommend Laura as a sitter to anyone and would have her back again. 5 plus stars. ⭐

Lindsey watched our cat and dog for a long weekend when we went out of town. She was a very communicative sitter sending frequent pictures and voice notes with updates. She did a great job of following their schedules and giving them attention. The animals seemed to be happy and relaxed when we returned home and I believe Lindsey enjoyed getting to discover all of the eateries our town has to offer. A win-win for everyone!

Jinnie was an excellent house sitter for me and my cat Felix.  Completely responsible and reliable and helpfully flexible.  She was willing to work with me as I dithered on whether I was actually going to go on my trip (which was dependent on good weather), and when I finally decided on making my trip one day shorter.  House was clean and organized on my return, and, more importantly, my cat was calm and relaxed on my return.  I would happily have Jinnie come sit for me and Felix again.

Kristine was wonderful again as our local sitter from just down the street. 
The boys take to her like she is their best friend whenever she comes to sit with them. She sent us photos of them playing, relaxing, drinking water and eating so we knew they were well taken care of. 
The house and the cats were in excellent shape and excellent hands while we were away. It is wonderful that she enjoys the house and the cats so much and tells us so.
Kristine comes with our highest recommendation!
Thank you Kristine!
