I cannot say enough nice things about Matt. His attention to detail and his thorough communication from our initial contact were refreshing and set us at ease. He sent regular updates and pictures of our pups having a blast and being well cared for. We knew that since we were leaving our 4 month old Weimaraner behind she would be a challenge, even for the most experienced sitter. Matt took all the puppy quirks in stride and when we got home, we could tell that she and our older Vizsla had made life long friends with Matt. As for the house care, I'm fairly certain that the house was in better shape than when he started since our two college aged daughters actually cared for the pups the week before Matt started and did the hand off to him - we know how messy they can be! Bottom line is that we loved Matt and hopefully he's available (and willing!) to sit for us again in the future.

THIS is one of those reviews I don't want to give because I want to keep these two all to myself. Jake and Jill stayed with us 2x. The first time was for a few days with dogs, cats, sheep and poultry. The second time was for FIVE months. In MINNESOTA. In WINTER! They did an excellent job both times, but MInnesota in winter is a big deal. They handled feeding, water and some other issues perfectly. They are flexible and really rolled with various changes in dates and circumstances. They do not need tons of supervision but are happy to send pictures and give reports as often as you need it. We came home to a clean house with food in the fridge, including a sheep shaped cake! Please don't approve their application because I am trying to lure them into many more stays here.

Meet Matt and Emily. A responsible young couple, planning a relaxed summer trip

This sit with Matt and Emily was OK but didn’t meet the home, pet care and communication standards as I hoped and of the many wonderful sitters I’ve had previously. For pet care, my cat must have been hungry during the week because when I got home there was dry dog food instead of cat food in the cat’s bowl. The dry cat food container is next to her canned food so I’m not sure how this could be mixed up. She expects and needs this food so this must have distressed her. I checked in and would ask how it’s going and get a quick and friendly reply but otherwise they never initiated any communication. The house wasn’t what I usually find coming home. In the walk through and written instructions, I ask that sitters put clean sheets on the bed and vacuum before they leave and neither were done. The dishwasher was full and needed to be emptied of their dishes. They didn’t pick up the mail. The catbox area had litter all over the floor. They didn’t recycle or compost and instead put everything in one bag. In other words, I felt like I had to clean up after them. Overall, they are a nice young couple and I wish them well but there's a lot of room for improvement.

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!

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!

Anna was an excellent sitter - she took great care to understand all of the intricacies of taking care of the house and cats, asked lots of questions, and arrived on time and ready for the sit. During the trip, she checked in with updates, and upon returning home, left the space tidy and clean. The cats were happy and healthy, and seemed to have had a great time during the sit. Thanks Anna!

Sabre is a sweet, honest person who stepped up at the very last moment (after the prior sitter flaked out) to watch our dog and cat for 17 days. When there were a couple minor accidents, she informed us of them right away. One involved a burnt pan (easy to do if you’re not familiar with an induction stovetop) which she offered to replace. 
   Sabre also washed the towels and sheets, and made up the bed before we got home. The yard was pooper scooped and litter box was clean. Pets seemed well-cared for.
   When she had to leave town for several hours one day, she made sure to arrange for our neighbor take care of the pets.
   Additionally, I appreciated how she didn’t assume that it would be ok to bring her cat. When we found out she was going to keep her cat in a kennel during her stay here, we told her she could bring him which worked out fine. 
   Overall, I would confidently recommend Sabre to watch your pets and house.

Joi did a wonderful job caring for my two cats and two guinea pigs, as well as caring for my home!  She is coming back in November for a long sit while I am out of the country and we all can’t wait.  Joi had experience with rabbits and jumped right in with guinea pig care.  She is so calm around them that they were sitting on her lap day one!  She spent time preparing their vegetables and kept their enclosure and room clean, which requires daily effort.  She even washed the floor mats in their room so it was fresh when I returned home.  She went above and beyond sending me daily photos and videos so I could see that everyone was healthy and happy.  It was apparent to me that she spent a lot of time with my pets, which is very important so they don’t become stressed and lonely when I am away.  Joi also took excellent care of my two cats.  They receive daily wet food with some medication and she ensured that they received it on time.  My cats barely noticed when I returned because they got so much attention from Joi.  She took excellent care of my front garden flowers and my tomato and herb hydroponic gardens.  These take some daily attention and time in the summer, and I returned home to them looking great!  Joi is a very caring, clean, and thoughtful sitter and I hope she comes back many more times!

Quinn was an amazing sitter for my cat Moon! She regularly checked in with updates on moon while we were away on a two week vacation, and seemed to give her plenty of attention, play with her, etc. Communication was easy and she left our apartment spotless after departing. Highly recommend her as a pet sitter!

Amazing sitters - I feel so fortunate to have had them stay. Chapeau was treated to daily walks and belly rubs, and my cat Tica was overflowing with contentment from having been taken care of so well. The house was cleaner than I left it and I was treated to a nice note and a lovely candle upon my return. Also, they left a checklist of item that they had done while here. Truly above and beyond!

Steven was a great sitter for our black lab Souris and cat Pinot. They were well looked after and really liked Steven. Our house was in good order when we got back and Steven was kind enough to give us a lift to and from the airport. He was very flexible, arriving day early so we could show him around.

Rick and Sally are marvelous cat sitters and we would gladly have them back anytime. We highly recommend them to any and all pet owners.  They arrived when they said they would and were ready to go when we returned, making sure our cats were present before departing.  Our home was left spotless, undoubtedly better than we left it for them.  We can't urge you enough to engage them if you can!
