Ready to travel. Work from home or holidays.
All I can say is WOW! Helen was totally amazing from start to finish and I would certainly call her a cat whisperer. Our cat Coco can be extremely timid and Helen was aware of this but I think Coco had other plans once she met Helen as was happy to be around her and let her brush her and even nudged Helen with a hello. This allowed us to be on holiday with confidence. Helen and I had already discussed communication while we were away, as I did not feel I needed photos etc as trusted what Helen said. We did actually message a few times during the 14 days and Coco was always doing well. We came home to an immaculate home! I was expecting to have to clean etc on return but did not need to ( and that’s most unlike me!). Our home was so well looked after and Coco was a happy girl too, in fact I think she may have preferred Helen to have walked through the door. We will most definitely be asking Helen to come back and just have everything crossed, that when we have dates set, she can come to us again. I know Coco would be thrilled to see her again. This was our first time using the site and we are so happy we found Helen, she is cat lovers dream.

Gillian has been to sit for us before and it was really wonderful to see her again ! She looked after 2 of our dogs and they loved seeing her, especially Nelly who remembered her as soon as she arrived . Pi our other dog is still quite young and so it was a relief to have someone who knows young dogs and to be so kind and patient with him , even keeping up his heel work which was very helpful as we were away for quite a while. Gillian is so brilliant with communication and when there were any problems she was fantastic at keeping us updated and sorting everything out. I was really glad she was there and most grateful. We really hope she will come again Nelly and Pi would be thrilled to see her and so would we.

Living in Scotland but love travelling too!
Jo and her mum stayed for a long weekend and did a fantastic job. Even left a lovely bunch of flowers for our return. Easy to contact and the animals were perfectly looked after. Would definitely recommend ❤️

Caring, friendly, adventure-loving family ready to look after your home & pets l
Communication with Monika was great from the outset. Monika & Corwin are experienced pet sitters and took care of the dogs well giving them lots of attention. Communication was helpful when Lola needed extra attention. They left the house clean & tidy. I’d welcome them back again. Thanks so much for good care of our dogs.

Responsible, mature and active couple with pet experience
Rhona spent 3 days here to take care for Joes our cat Joesy. She organized the trip really carefully and informed us immediately about everything. Thank you so much, Rhona! You’ve been our first pet-sitter and now we have a good feeling using this app!

An experienced dog owner and cat sitter who enjoys the outdoors.
Alice was amazing and we're so grateful to her for taking such great care of our cat Floyd and our flat while we were away for three weeks. She sent us regular photos and updates about Floyd - it was so comforting to know she was in such great hands. Our flat was in immaculate condition when we got home. I can't recommend Alice enough!

Practical, warm, responsible person with lots of pet experience
Judy was amazing. This experience has taken the stress away from going on holiday and leaving our precious pet behind. From the moment she arrived, Paddy ( our labradoodle) relaxed. When we returned, after his usual frenzied greeting to us- he returned to the sofa and cuddled up with Judy! I think that says it all!!! The house was immaculate. The arrangement was relaxed and supportive. I really hope she feels able to come back again in the future

Lots of love for fur babies
Bozena & Vanessa were able to come to do an introduction visit prior to our holiday. I was apprehensive being that Bruno is a rescue with some issues but both appeared well able to deal with this (& asked questions). I had mixed up start dates which Bozena dealt with admirably. She kept in touch while we were away with videos & messages which was a lovely touch. The house was immaculate when we arrived back home. Bruno was well cared for & was obviously catered for with lots of loves & walks. Can thoroughly recommend these sitters.

Reliable and experienced traveller and home/pet sitter.
Martine was an excellent sitter. Huey was well cared for and was relaxed and happy when we got home. Martine was very communicative and kept me up to date with how Huey was, sending photos and videos of what he was up to. He is an old boy that requires a lot of care, and she looked after his needs re. short walks and daily tablets. The house was immaculate when we returned home, which is a relief when you get home late in the evening. We wouldn’t hesitate to ask Martine to look after Huey again.
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!
Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
Nia is a wonderful sitter - punctual, considerate, caring, and tidy, and also a lovely person, who I enjoyed spending time with before and after the sit. While I was away Nia sent photos and videos of my cats Tommy and Arthur every day, with witty updates and observations on their personalities and behaviours, and it was obvious that they adored her. Arthur has a mild neurological problem, so it was particularly reassuring to know that Nia feels especially connected to animals with specific physical or emotional needs, and knowing this contributed hugely to my peace of mind while I was away. I have no hesitation in recommending Nia as a sitter.
Great pet sitter - took perfect care of our cat and our home. They were super communicate leading up to and during the sit and left our apartment in great shape. I'd absolutely recommend them to any future sitters!
Elisabeth was an excellent sitter for our cat. We were away for two weeks and received daily photos and notes from her about Catman's activities (i.e., sleeping and eating). She is definitely a cat lover and that was evident from our cat's calm behavior when we returned.
Nathalie and John were great! They were great house sitters to watch our two dogs, 2 geckos, our old cat and bull frog. Their two girls took good care of the animals as well. The house was exactly how we left it. We really appreciated their help!
Caroline is an amazing sitter ! We were far away, had never left our cat for such a long period of time and we felt really confident with her. She took great care of our cat Honey as well as she did for the house, pool and garden. She was even able to handle the end of the refection of the bathroom which was a last minute surprise… We felt Caroline was reliable and self sufficient. We had a great communication with her during our stay abroad. We even found many nice intentions when we came back from our vacations such as fresh fruits and bakeries for a nice and welcomed breakfast after a night in a plane ! We definitely recommend Caroline for your sittings and we will obviously call her back !
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!
Jose was a wonderful pet/house sitter for us recently. We highly recommend him. He was wonderfully reliable and responsible and took such good care of our two pets. On short notice Jose drove down from Grass Valley to the East Bay for a bit of a quiet get-away while working a really hard job teaching online. We know how hard that is firsthand and partly why we needed our own get-away for a last-minute backpacking trip. We have a recently rescued pit bull and a rescued cat that we're still introducing to each other to make sure the dog doesn't eat the cat (as he seems to want to), and the cat doesn't blind the dog (as she would if he tried to eat her). That might be more background than is needed in a review but Jose made us feel comfortable about everything because of how conscientious and responsible he clearly is. We could tell when we talked to him that he was genuinely kind and eminently trustworthy. We are very grateful and hope Jose was happy with everything too because we know what a value his care was to us. Jose truly deserves any and all house-sitting gigs that strike his interest. Ours was not the easiest and he was amazing. Get him if you can.
Pennee and Bill were the BEST pet sitters and guests ever! I really wanted them to stay forever ! Our cat, Miss Kitty bonded so much to them, that she really wasn’t that happy to see me when I got home .Our cat is a finicky eater and they tried all different types of food and treats for her. They sent me regular photos of miss kitty and I knew everything was great when most of the pics had miss kitty on their lap. Our cat doesn’t take to many people but she immediately fell in love with them. Pennee sent us our mail and prescription meds on a regular basis , and went out of her way to take care of any issues . They fell in love with the neighbors and community and just made our lives so easy . We experienced the Covid 19 virus outbreak quarantine during this time and Pennee and Bill agreed to stay a month longer at our home . They were extremely flexible with their travel plans so that everyone would be safe. Upon our arrival home, we were greeted with a bouquet of flowers , beautiful hanging basket of flowers for outdoors and a beautiful bottle of wine . And our house had never been cleaner ! Bill and Pennee are a pet owners dream couple !I felt extremely lucky to have found such a great petsitter and new friend . We will be visiting each other in the future .
