Full-time sitter for 3 yrs & featured on Business Insider about House-sitting!
Marius and Eunice were fantastic cat sitters for our cat Olu. They took great care of him while we were away for 3 weeks. They kept our apartment tidy and sent us constant photo and video updates so we could see that Olu was doing well. They even gave us some great tips, like moving Olu's water fountain to a different location to encourage him to drink more. We really appreciated their attentiveness and care for Olu. We would highly recommend Marius and Eunice to anyone looking for reliable and responsible house sitters!

Inco and Martha were amazing pet sitters for our young cat! They asked all the right questions at our video call prior to the sit and were very well prepared and experienced. They kept us updated during the sit and took great care of our cat and our home. They figured out our cat loves chasing a laser pointer, which tells us they were very aware of the wants and needs of our cat. Would definitely welcome them back for a future sit!

This was honestly the first time I've ever felt comfortable and totally at ease with a petsitter. We were a long way from home, and Stefanie looked after our 4 dogs fabulously. She even took care of a post foot-op recovery with absolute ease. She sent little video updates of them regularly, and honestly they were as happy as they normally are when we are at home. This is a first, as they normally pine for us for the first few days and then give us a bit of a sulk when we return, but we had none of that. We also had a lovely meal prepared for us upon our return. Stefanie is self-sufficient and reliable and I would totally recommend her as a babysitter.

Responsible and trustworthy pet lover to look after your home and pets
Ellen was a delight to have as a catsitter. Her calm personality and inspiring life gave me deep confidence to leave my babies in her care, and everything went smoothly during my absence. Clear and easy communication, tidy place when I came home. I would have Ellen back as a sitter anytime. Thanks again Ellen!

Brigitte and Wolfgang came to the rescue when we were a bit in a tight spot, having agreed to housesit for a couple in England at rather short notice while not yet having found the type of sitters (of a certain age) we wanted. Although previously cat owners, they have acquired enough experience with (big dogs) on their sits. They arrived a day early, as agreed, so we could get to know each other and our dog had enough time to adjust. An uncomplicated couple, with lots of tales of past and recent travels to tell. Took them to the supermarket to do their food shopping and for orientation; also went for a short walk with the dog together. Throughout our absence, we received reassuring texts and photos so we could concentrate on our English pets. They took BASKO on walks without any problems even though he is quite strong on the lead... Upon our return, we were greeted by a happy but relaxed dog and a lovely cake and even a very nice dinner. We all had a chatty evening together and next morning, our sitters went on their (rather long) way, with another sit waiting for them in the near future. We can recommend them as capable and uncomplicated sitters.

We‘re big dog & cat lovers. Looking for a stay with furry roommates.
Unfortunately, we did not have a chance to meet Angelina and Jonas in person because they arrived right after another house sitter had to leave after a two and a half week stay and they stayed the remaining three days in our family home with our dog Ronja. My interview was with Angelina and she seemed to be very organised and was very friendly. Everything went smoothly, they sent us regular pictures and updates and kept us updated so we knew that our house and Ronja were well being taken care of. When we returned home our house was clean and tidy and our dog Ronja was happy. We would highly recommend Angelina and Jonas to everyone and would love to welcome them again in our home in the future!
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!
Carole and Ron are excellent cat-sitters! They took very good care of my cat Lola and of my house. I came home to a happy cat and a very clean and tidy house. They sent me pictures of Lola and kept me updated, so that I had a very relaxed holiday. I very highly recommend them as cat- sitters and I would be thrilled if they would come back to sit for Lola again. Thank you so much!
Young was the perfect house sitter for us. From the moment you meet her, you can tell she is animal person and is detailed oriented and will take great care of your house and pets. She exudes a peaceful and grounded energy. She was comfortable with each our pets from the high energy dog to the shy skittish cat. She played with the dog in the yard every day and took him on walks. And she was also very attentive to our cats and figured out how to maintain the equilibrium in the relationship between the cats and dog. She is an excellent communicator; she asked questions when our directions weren't clear and kept us updated on the pets. She is also an amazing photographer. She sent us pics of our pets every day that totally captured each of their personalities.
Cung is a diligent and communicative cat sitter and house guest, and we'd highly recommend him! We hope to have him back again soon
We were so pleased to meet John and Trisha! We had them come in a day before we left and enjoyed a nice meal with them and they got to meet Delilah (even if she didn’t seem interested) but she soon warmed up to them - except for the Cat Videos - she wasn’t very interested 🤣 When we returned our home was so clean (probably cleaner than we left it)! We got frequent pics and updates on our Princess! They also left us with a Progress Report with Delilah’s activities and what they did at the house before they left. We would highly recommend John & Trisha if you are lucky enough to have them apply for a House Sitters job! Bill, Kathy & Delilah 🐈⬛❤️
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.
Catherine was wonderful! She took care of my cat and house while I was out of town and left and Jack the Cat very and calm and the house in perfect shape which I so appreciate. I could return home and attend to other things rather than cleaning house. I would recommend her as a sitter to anyone. She was easy to communicate with, provided updates and pics of Jack, willing to jump in and assist me as I left or returned. She has a sweet and warm personality and enjoys what she does with house sitting. Thank you Catherine!
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. ⭐
Florence is everything you want in a cat sitter! We have two cats that need a lot of human attention. One takes multiple medications twice a day and they both are used to eating on their own schedule and having people around so it is always very important to us to find a pet sitter that will be spending a lot of time in the apartment and that doesn't mind being very attentive. We were able to meet Florence before our trip and felt 100% confident that she would take great care of our cats. Florence is comfortable giving medication, she sent us photos and updates and left our apartment spotless. We were so happy that we had her come back the following week when we went away again for a short trip! We will definitely contact Florence again whenever we travel and hope that she is available!
