Mid-life adventurers/remote workers
Rachelle and Brad are the perfect house/pet sitters! They are warm with us and, more importantly, with our precious dogs. They took this "job" seriously: sending us photos everyday, taking the dogs on walks faithfully and following all our house- and pet-care instructions to the letter. Rachelle and Brad seemed to grow to love our dogs and, after we returned home and they got ready to take off for their next adventure, the dogs wanted to follow them! That's a successful pet-sitting experience. Moshe and Henri (our dogs) give them two paws up! The house was immaculate! Thank you, Rachelle and Brad!

Responsible family with a lot of pet sitting experience & flexible schedules.
Nic and Leanna (and sweet Billy) were the perfect housesitters to have, and going forward we will be using them as the gold standard to live up to for our future sitters! They were very easy to communicate with prior to the sit and it was very apparent from the beginning that they were striving to be quality sitters and were pros at this! They arrived and departed when they said they would. They asked important questions about caring for our dog Benji. I got so many cute photos of Ben and all that they did with him. I have never had a pet sitter that spent so much time with Benji before! It was so nice to know that Ben was happy and cared for while we were out of the country. Plus, they went above and beyond to clean our home and leave it better than they found it! They were an absolute joy to have and I would welcome them back in a heartbeat if our schedules align again. Do yourself a favor and welcome them in as your sitter!!

Travel for work and work to travel ❤️
Jess and Krysteen were amazing. They were true to their word regarding their schedule, stayed in touch with me throughout (including sending me sweet photos with Topanga), kept the house spotless and went above and beyond in preparing it for our return, and took great care of Topanga. I would be ecstatic if they returned!

Librarian Looking For Opportunities to Help Others
Paula was wonderful all the way around! Both of our Labrador Retrievers, Rip & Huck, really liked her and when we came home it was apparent she had taken fantastic care of them. Paula was always responsive - prior to and during the pet/home sit and kept us up to date. When we asked for a couple photos during our get-away, she happily and quickly provided them. We came back to our home, orchard, and garden looking great just as we had left it. Paula is very endearing, trusting, kind, helpful, and responsible. We highly, highly recommend her - you'd be fortunate to have her stay in your home and watch your pets. We would love to have her again - she is always welcome in our home. Thank you, Paula!

Loving, caring, dependable & clean. I will dote on your fur babies for certain!
Talia was very excited to help out with the housesit and after learning that one of my cats had just passed prior to the sit, she and Drew reassured me that they would provide lots of extra love and attention to Vinny and Mickey to help with the lose of our buddy. She was easy to communicate with and we had a good conversation about how she and Drew intended to make sure Vinny wasn't left at home for too long since she was working out of the house while she was here. Between the 2 of them, Drew was here with the pets while Talia worked. Talia sent photos and updates and didn't hesitate to reach out when she noticed that Mickey wasn't eating some of his food. They washed the sheets and towels prior to leaving and did a wipe down of counters, vacuumed floors, etc. Pets were happy and healthy upon my return. The house smelled like it has been closed up for most of the time so I opened the blinds and cracked some windows to get it smelling fresh again. No complaints otherwise.

Animal-LOVING couple who is ready to take great care of your home and animals!
Alissa and Daniel were responsible, responsive and extremely proficient in their duties whilst at our home. As our listing was very last minute they were ready and happy to follow all instructions regarding the pets and remained in touch while we were away.

Caring Couple Eager for Culture, Climate and Connection
Susan and Mike are the best! They have sat for us numerous times and never fail to impress us more with each visit. With our bougie poodle, who requires fresh water in a glass, homemade food and lots of snuggling, they never hesitate to accommodate his demanding needs, all while sending us hilarious updates on how he's doing. After they've gone, he always seems to be disappointed they've left. They are extremely reliable, flexible and organized. If given the opportunity, you should absolutely have them over for a sit.

I love all animals and want them and you to be happy while you’re away!
Melissa is very dependable and loves my cats and that is very important. She leaves a detailed note about what she has done and while away checks in to let me know how things are going.

Kind traveler & pet whisperer seeks new regions to experience for a relocation
Greg was absolutely magical with my cats. He quickly understood each cat's idiosyncrasies, and he particularly bonded with the shy and nervous Jewel, who, judging by the photos he sent, was very cozy and purr-y with him. Bertie also received many head-rubs and much affection. The cats were indeed beautifully cared for. The house was well-cared for as well, with everything shiningly clean and welcoming for me when I returned. Communication was easy and clear, by text once we had confirmed the sit. I was delighted to have Greg as a sitter, and would happily have him again. I think the cats would be glad to see him too.

Lyle and Linnie
I didn't actually get to meet them in person, due to scheduling, but I came back to a very clean house and a well-taken-after cat.
. We were absolutely delighted with the care Summer provided for our cats. Without a doubt, she is the best cat sitter we have ever had the pleasure of working with. Her attentiveness and genuine affection for our cats were evident in every interaction. Throughout our holidays, she kept us constantly updated with daily pictures and detailed updates, which gave us immense peace of mind. Additionally, she maintained our house in immaculate condition, keeping everything clean and tidy. This level of consideration and dedication went above and beyond our expectations, and we deeply appreciated her efforts. Summer’s exceptional service made our holiday experience truly worry-free and enjoyable.
I'm delighted to have found Lisa as a sitter and hope to have her back again! She was detail oriented and clearly cared about my cats' well being. She asked good questions about the cats' routines and needs and about the house to be sure she'd meet my expectations and have a comfortable and successful sit. She communicated very well before and throughout the sit and even though I was unreachable for much of the time I was confident everyone was in good hands. Lisa left the house in immaculate condition and the cats were relaxed and happy when I got home. What a delight!
Kathryn was amazing. She helped me figure plans out after another sitter dropped out at the last minute and saved the day! My cat and fish were well taken care of, and she was super communicative when my tank had a problem child moment. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, helpful, and caring sitter!!
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.
Kathy and Ron arrived at our home with a most fantastical toy for our cats and a giant apple pie. Need I say more? They are very experienced sitters and brought personal items that they prefer. We knew we were leaving out cats in good hands. A large part of their 'job' was hand watering our garden and Ron took that in stride. Everything is thriving. Our cats are usually distant with new people but we received photos of them keeping Kathy and Ron company in various situations which was reassuring. They clearly won our cats over. Although Ron and Kathy had a ferry to catch on their last day, they took time to wash their linens and hang them on the clothesline. They also left us a gorgeous plant for our garden. We would very much like to have them back for a longer sit if possible.
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
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.
Karen was able to step in a sit for me on short notice after another sitter canceled. She was very thorough and communicative and I felt I had left my apartment and cats in good hands with her. I came home to a clean apartment and happy cats. I definitely recommend Karen as a sitter.
My husband and I reached out to Toby & Chloe after reading their profile and impressive reviews only a week before our trip, since our scheduled sitter had to cancel at the last moment. They were very friendly and quick to respond to chat from the very beginning, and ended up exceeding our expectations during their two week stay. It was evident they had thoroughly read our Welcome Guide beforehand, as they arrived knowledgeable and prepared to care for our home and pets. They were very willing and happy to take the necessary time with us to walk through the house and meet our cats, as we got them acclimated with our daily routines and answered any questions. Shortly after we left, our city had a heat wave come through, and after immediately notifying us, Toby went beyond the call of duty and inspected our struggling AC unit to pinpoint the issue. As far as cat care is concerned, we have two seniors (who have more sensitive tummies) that can get irritated after a fur ball or swallowing anything out of the ordinary. When this occurred, Toby & Chloe stepped in and took wonderful care of our cat duo; softening their food and even cradling while hand-feeding them for extra comfort. We truly could not have asked for more affectionate and responsible sitters. We returned to a spotlessly clean home, happy cats, and well maintained plants and pool. (They even cleaned our dusty Kitchen pendant lighting, which requires a steady hand and is definitely a time-commitment …We felt like professional housecleaners had been there!) On our way back, Toby & Chloe stayed in communication with us to monitor our arrival time, allowing them to care for our cats until just before we got home. Overall, they are very reliable and trustworthy sitters whose genuine goal is to provide a top-quality sit, while maintaining your household and seamlessly transitioning to your pets daily schedule.
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 .
