Laura and Eric completely enabled us to leave our furbabies knowing we wouldn't have any worries at all while we were away. They made sure all angles were covered, even if we had forgotten to cover one or two things. We had a challenging situation between the cats at that time, and they were totally professional and caring and provided updates and photos and i think the cats personalities made for an enjoyable experience for them. We came home to fine the house spotless, plants watered etc, but most importantly happy happy cats. Completely reliable! Can't stress this enough. Communication right from the first interview was thoughtful, timely and we really enjoyed talking with them. My only wish was that we could have met them in person. Would love to have them return at any time, so says Maddy, Juno and Laika. I think they loved their proximity to NYC, and took advantage of many of our suggestions. Thank you Eric and Laura, for all you did above and beyond the call of duty. Sue Ellen and Jay

Responsible, semi-retired animal lovers looking for house-sits!
We were away for over 30 days and it was a real blessing to have Pamela and Eric stay in our home and care for our dogs. They settled right in and even fit into our expat community. After meeting them and spending a couple of days acquainting them with our home and the dogs routine, we felt completely at ease leaving our home and pets in their care. They drove us to the airport and picked us up. Pam even had a meal prepared for our return. A lovely couple and I sincerely hope we can have them sit again.

WE ARE THE RIGHT CARETAKERS FOR YOUR HOUSE AND PETS
Silvia and Leo were wonderful sitters! They took loving care of our dear Scout dog and sent us regular updates and photos of our happy pet. They also took exceptional care of our home! They may have left it more clean and tidy than we did before they arrived. We enjoyed the lovely care and note they left for us as well. We would certainly have them return for a sit and highly recommend them to others. Thank you, zeewoi!

Rachael was fabulous! She went over and above not only with the care she provided to Hazel, but we came home to a house and yard which was in better shape than when we left - and the laundry was done! Hazel did go through a few days of really missing Rachael but we hope to see her again. Thank you, Rachael!

oh my gosh! Michelle is an excellent guest and pet friend. My two girls had an adventure out every day. And because of the extreme heat this summer Michelle was always careful and took the girls out in the morning before the exreme tempatures hit. She was also great at continuing our established training to reenforce what we have been working on. I'll ask for Michelle to sit for me again.

Once again, Ron did a 5 star pet and house sitting stay for us. Unexpectedly our garage construction became delayed and the most inconvenient part, the framing, landed during Ron's stay. Ron was both gracious and understanding with the construction and the on-going noise it presented. Ron gave our four kitties loving care and took care of all house needs. We returned to happy cats and a clean house. We couldn't have asked for more, thank you Ron!

Semi retired couple ready to travel, mind your home and love your pets!
Great sitters! Second time Lisa has stayed at our place. As with the first time the house was immaculate when we returned and the cat relaxed and well cared for. I very much appreciated the communication. I would definitely recommend Lisa and Jim

John took great care of our home and dogs while we were gone! He sent frequent updates, was very tidy and took the dogs on great outings. Highly recommended, thanks John!

We will treat your house and pets as our own.
Liliya, Dimitri and family were friendly, attentive and helpful sitters. They took excellent care of our cat, chinchilla, and garden for the weekend. There could have been a little better planning and communication leading up to the sit (eg, more notice of a late arrival which meant we needed someone else to feed the cat the first night), but there were no issues during or after the visit.

We really appreciated Adam and Michelli coming the night before we left so we could show them around, introduce them to Max and for us to get to know one another. They texted when they had questions. The meal they left for us when we returned home was appreciated.
Sofia and Nicole were excellent sitters to our 2 playful cats (an adult tabby and a BIG Maine coon kitten). They gave us a couple updates daily with pictures, as we requested. They were easy to communicate with before and throughout the entire sit. When we came home, our apartment was tidy (probably neater than we left it!) and our cats were relaxed and happy. They were also kind enough to leave us with some sweet bandanas for our boys. We were super pleased with the quality of care, and would happily recommend Sofia and Nicole to anyone in need of a pet or house sitter!
I was fortunate to have Hillary return for a second sit. She took excellent care of both my cat and my home. She got on well with my neighbors and even allowed my friend to come visit Suley while she was there. I especially appreciate how flexible and accommodating she was regarding arrangements for a sitter who would be taking over for the second part of my very long absence. All in all, Hillary is a gem!
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.
We are thoroughly pleased with and impressed by Daniel's kind, generous, and careful care of our cat and our house. He is a committed and experienced sitter who completely understands his role and responsibilities and also how to gently win the confidence and affection of a pet. He is an excellent communicator, and he kept us regularly up to date on our cat's well being--sending us texts and photos at least once/week as we requested. Our cat who is a little afraid of new people, grew fond of him, and we have returned to a very calm, contented cat. We highly recommend Daniel, and we ourselves would be thrilled to engage him again when the need arises.
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
My partner and I left our cat Mango in Lindsey's care for a month so that we could get married. We were going from FL to ME, so it was a long way from home. We were gone for a month. Picking the right houses sitter was important. We are so glad we picked Lindsey (and she picked us). From before Lindsey got on her plan to fly down, until she was back home again Lindsey was communicative, considerate and positive. We felt like we had a family member staying at our place and because of who she is, Mango and our home's well being was a weight off our mind during the wedding. If the need arises in the future we will definitely be giving her the right of first refusal. Thank you so much Lindsey!
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. ⭐
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!
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 !
If Macie and Roman ever apply to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the. offer. You will not be disappointed. They are among the top (if not the top) sitter I've ever had and I've been on this site for years. Primarily, they are very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Macie and Roman kept me abreast of their plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk them through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Macie and Roman really care. When they got to my apartment after a very long morning of traveling, I explained the care instructions and they were very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Macie and Roman followed those exactly. Third, Macie and Roman make you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out of hiding very quickly and was snuggling with them and letting them hold him. It was so nice to see the pictures of them all bonding! Macie and Roman have a calming energy towards animals for sure! Macie and Roman were also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 30 minutes. I really appreciated that. Fourth, Roman and Macie will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Macie and Roman also respects your property. We had a room we asked them not to enter and they respected that. In short, Macie and Roman are amazing. I would have them back in a heartbeat. If you have any questions I would be happy to answer them. Ask Macie and Roman for my number.
