Active Mature Woman, Exceptionally Trustworthy and Conscientious
Elizabeth kept us regularly updated on activities with the dogs, including videos and pictures. In general she was excellent and proactive with all of her communication. We came home to a very clean and tidy house, but more importantly two very content and relaxed dogs! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anybody looking for a reliable sitter.

Experienced and loving home and pet sitter - specializing in long sits
Jamie was a fantastic sitter! Before I left, we met twice to discuss my cats’ care. They had clearly read my instructions carefully and had a ton of relevant experience. During the sit, Jamie sent daily updates and pictures. I have a cat with health issues - they sent regular updates regarding his health, administered medication as needed, and checked in when they had questions. The cats clearly took to them quickly. I came back to happy and healthy pets and an apartment that was cleaner than when I left. I’d highly recommend Jamie!

Mark & Deb
What do you say about the repeat house sitters who are already perfect? We were lucky enough to secure Mark and Deb for a 2 month stay. They have sat for us multiple times before, so there was no second guessing (and a little yip of excitement from me and our kitty) when their offer to sit came through. Mark and Deb are great at communicating, very reliable, and fantastic at pet care as seen by multiple pictures showing Ricky being played with and sitting in their laps (we were a little jealous) while we were away. I think Mark and Deb are true cat lovers. A 2 month sit means real life living, not just a few days or a week. I mean they had to eat and shower, right? We came home to a house that was so neat and clean we couldn't tell they were there except for the notes they left behind. They reached out with questions or concerns, let us know when packages arrived, took out the garbage, did all the asks like plant watering and filling bird feeders outside, and took great care of our little Ricky. If you're lucky enough to get them, go for it. Mark and Deb are always welcome at our house.

Responsible, Compassionate Cat Cuddling Couple Want to Give You Peace of Mind
Sharon is very organised and it was an easy job to set the first meeting between her and the cats. Sharon sent me photos and anecdotes daily and if she had any doubts about the cats behaviour she would ask me by message. Her messages were always sweet and full of details, which I really appreciated. I knew my cats and my apartment were in good hands and with the most reliable person. I returned to a clean apartment - cleaner that when I left even if she would probably deny it :-) - and to happy cats who, I could see it in their eyes, were wondering why the lady was not staying longer with them ! I highly recommend Sharon and hope to have her return in the future.

Mother & daughter seeking memories with furry friends and people in spring 2024
What can we say about this lovely family?! We had the pleasure of having Sarah, Xavier and their adult daughter Caroline take care of our 3 doxies, and home for 2 weeks while we were in Italy. We fell in love with them from our first zoom meet to the sad goodbye when we returned. We came home to happy tail wagging pups and a spic and span home. Sarah sent us updates with photos that helped to make our trip fun and worry free. We can not recommend this wonderful trio enough. You may not get lucky enough to get the 3 of them together, but even as a pair, or single sitter you can't go wrong! Thank you again Sarah, Xavier and Caroline, we can't wait to have you back!

Mom and twelve-year-old son who love all animals!
Amy did a great job caring for our home and pets last week. Everything was in good order when we returned. Both the barn and house were very clean and tidy, and she helped reorganize my pantry (which was in rough shape after significant entertaining over the holidays.) Even with the cold temperatures and snowfall, she was able to keep up with the outdoor chores and manure management in the paddocks. Skipper, Apollo and Riba enjoyed all the extra attention she gave them. It was also very nice to be welcomed back with a bag of groceries that we enjoyed over a couple of days. Thanks Amy! It was great to travel worry free!

Reliable, Warm, Single Woman looking to care for your home and pets!
I'd welcome Aundrea back to house/pet sit for me any time. She's cheerful, personable and competent. She took great care of the animals and took time to share some photos of their adventures together. On returning, the house was clean and tidy. Five stars for sure.

Cayla is great! She’s well organized, communicative, friendly, and detail oriented. All of our dogs (2) and cats (3) warmed up to her quickly and enjoyed spending time with her. She’s very thoughtful and intentional. She took great care of the space. Would highly recommend! We really enjoyed meeting her.

Young, professional couple that loves animals and traveling!
McKenzie and Patrick were very self sufficient and took great care of Samee and my house.
Kendra was a great cat sitter to Genepi and she truly is a cat whisperer. Genepi usually takes 4 days to make friends with a new person but she came out and made friends with Kendra Day 1! Kendra regularly sent wonderful videos and pics of Genepi purring happily. The apartment was neat when we returned and our garden was blossoming. Would absolutely ask Kendra to sit again and highly recommend her. Thanks Kendra!!
Amanda is truly our trusted sitter "find"! She comes back regularly, so much so that our kitties think she is their secondary owner! Always reliable, clean, responsible and most of all loves our cats as much as we do! Good communicator, self reliant - all in all a perfect "10"!
We literally cannot say enough positive things about Susan and Miranda! They are the best! From start to finish, they did an amazing job communicating with us, giving our 3 (somewhat needy) cats extremely high quality care and tons of attention, and keeping our house clean and plants watered. They took adorable pictures of the cats and sent them to us several times a day, played with them and gave them so much love and affection, and when we got home the house was even cleaner than when we left. We even asked them for some tips on how they were caring for the cats because our cats seemed happier and more relaxed than ever when we returned home to them! This was by far our best cat/house sitter experience to date. We hope Susan and Miranda are available again in the future to sit for us and would invite them back without hesitation.
Paige, David, and family were WONDERFUL sitters for my crew! They were so pleasant and personable, and the pets warmed up to them very quickly. Even my rescue cat who tends to stray away from men loved David. I received regular updates and communication (before and during the sit). I truly did not have any concerns while I was away knowing that everyone had such great care and attention given to them. (I know the dogs had a good time because when I came home there was no commotion over my return.) I was away on NYE and Paige had no issues keeping an eye on one of the dogs who has anxiety surrounding loud noises. The family cleaned up after themselves and may have left the house cleaner than when I left! Truly such a great family who I would welcome back any time!
Denae and Burl were absolutely fabulous house/pet sitters for 4 weeks, Dec 2022- Jan 23. They are very friendly and intelligent, caring towards the animals (2 cats and 1 lively dog), and left our home clean and tidy. It all went very, very smoothly. It was a pleasure to deal with such nice people. We have invited them back whenever they want and hope the rest of their exploratory mission is a great success. I would be pleased to be contacted if anyone needs a further reference.
I highly recommend Daniel as a pet sitter and house sitter! He took care of Pipa for over three months this winter and did an outstanding job. From the first day, it was clear that he had a genuine love for animals and a great deal of experience with pets. He was very attentive to his needs and always made sure he was comfortable, well-fed, and had plenty of playtime. In addition to his pet-sitting duties, Daniel also went above and beyond by processing my postal mail and keeping the house well-organized. He was very responsible and reliable, always arriving on communicating, putting the bins out, and watering the plants on time, and keeping me updated with photos and messages. I felt completely at ease knowing that my cat was in such good hands and that my home was well-cared for while I was away. When I returned from my trip, Pipa was happy, healthy, and well-adjusted, thanks to Daniel's excellent care. I would definitely hire him again and recommend him to anyone in need of a trustworthy, caring, and responsible pet and house sitter!
Kathryn was such nice and kind sitter that both of my boyfriend and me were grateful to have, including my cats!! My cats seemed having great time with her, being around her, chilling on couch with her, or even sitting on her. I got several photos of my cats from her with whort updates. I’m thankful that she let me do facetimes with her when I missed my cats. The house was clean and tidy when we came back. I definately will ask her again to sit my cats and house when I need. Thank you Kathryn!!:)
Oh wow! Everyone should be so lucky to have Nicholas and Veerle watch their house and pets. These lovely people are pros! They communicated early and often, were super accommodating to some last minute changes (it was originally going to be only our cats to watch but we decided to keep the dog home as well so that added to the schedule and care needs) and they left the house spotless and all set up for another sitter who came in after them. We didn’t get the chance to meet because my departure and arrival times but I dearly hope I get to in the future because they were just great! I even heard how nice they were from My neighbors who say them out walking our dog. :-) They also sent regular pictures of the pets which look like pro-photography! Cannot recommend this couple enough! Your pets and house will be in good hands!
Tonya was great and filled in after our other sitter had to cancel. She was very self sufficient and navigated acclimating herself to everything since she arrived after we left. She gave thoughtful updates on my cat and I could tell she really enjoyed her, so that means the world to me! She left the place immaculate and we will certainly have Tonya back!
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.
