Excellent - Highly Recommend! We recently had the pleasure of having Abeela take care of our home and Toby the Cat while we were away, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. From the very start, communication was clear, prompt, and reassuring. Abeela took the time to understand Toby’s routines and habits, which gave us great peace of mind. During our time away, she provided regular updates and photos/videos of Toby, which was incredibly fun. It was clear that he was well-loved and in great hands. When we returned home, we found everything in perfect order—clean, tidy, and even better than we had left it. Toby was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Abeela went above and beyond, taking care of every detail. It’s evident that she takes pride in her housesitting and genuinely cares about the well-being of the pets and homes she looks after. We highly recommend Abeela to anyone in need of a reliable, trustworthy, and caring house sitter. We hope she will return again in the future! Lori and Jim

Trustworthy, fun-loving, warm, independent lady who loves animals
Rachel was a wonderful house and cat sitter. She was very communicative. From the photos, it seemed my 2 cats adored her! I would have Rachel back in a heartbeat!

Responsible PetSitter - Your furry paws in caring hands!
We needed a last-minute sitter for our boy Sid and Daniele showed up to help us out! She was professional, neat, clean, and did a great job taking care of Sid. Can't recommend her enough!

We love pets, housesitting and helping others! :)
Steve and Cindy did a wonderful job sitting for our 3 dogs. We came home to 3 content, tired pups. Which we know means they were exercised and loved. The dogs lost their tennis balls and Steve and Cindy were so kind to go buy new ones!! Above and beyond what we expect. They were also flexible as our dates changed then changed again. We would welcome them back anytime to stay with our girls.

Val is one of our favorite kitty and house sitters and we are always excited to have her back. She is proactive about finding out what works best for us communication wise before we leave (what medium/platform, how often we’d prefer a checkin, etc). She also asks any clarifying questions about the house or cats and proactively tackles any issues she sees (for example, helping to give some outdoor plants some extra hydration amidst a heat wave or changing batteries in a dying CO2 monitor). Most importantly we always come back to kitties that are so zen because they’ve had a great attentive companion. Val has also shown extra care to our fam with info and recommendations from her own experience following a diagnosis we got for one of our cats. Thank you again Val!

Caring, reliable and enthusiastic house sitter!
Rosalyn took great care of my home and 3 cats while I was away. She is a very sweet person, and obviously loves animals. Rosalyn sent me updates and. photos of my cats looking very happy, which I appreciated very much. I came home to a clean tidy house and happy cats!

Leave your pets, and worries, behind.

Dependable, Trustworthy, Responsible: ready to care for your house and your pets
Our dog loves Emily. We've had her pet and house sit many times, and it's always so wonderful not worrying about a thing while away. We highly recommend!
Hilary was a fantastic pet sitter for our cat - you would be so lucky to have her care for your pet and home. She took exceptional care of her and our home. Hilary played so much with her and took the best care. She was communicative, easy to coordinate with, and left everything super clean for us when we came back. Five stars is understating how extraordinary she was - we cannot recommend her enough!!
Becca did a wonderful job caring for our two cats. She was on time, well organized and communicated with us daily about the boys adventures. The house was clean and tidy on our return and the cats were sane and sound. She is an experienced sitter and expresses great joy in her environment and travels! Becca is always welcome in our home!
Hannah and Joseph housesat our three kitties for a week and a half while we were traveling for the holidays. They were very communicative and conscientious. We received daily updated on our cats with cute and funny pictures. When they noticed our 17yo cat, Amber, wasn’t eating very much, they let us know and we were able to resolve the problem quickly. They were also very resourceful and understanding when we ran out of some cat supplies. Hannah and Joseph took great care of the house. Everything was very clean and tidy when we arrived back, and we had a short time to get to know them on our arrival. We would be fortunate to find more house sitters like them, and would of course love to have them back in the future! We wish Hannah and Joseph luck in their travels!
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!
Susan and Miranda are amazing! I've had the pleasure of working with many sitters and they are truly exceptional. They were great at keeping in touch, sent lots of updates, asked good questions, really bonded with the cats, clearly very experienced working with animals and understanding their needs, and generally lovely to deal with. They were really patient putting up with a whole bunch of deliveries and even assembled a spare bed! They also left the place spotless with clean sheets on the bed. I'm pretty sure the cats loved Susan and Miranda more than us by the end of their stay! I'd highly recommend them to anyone and would love to have them stay again any time.
Brian is a very professional sitter that does a good job, pays attention to details and is easy to work with. I have a lot of plants. A lot. He suggested me do a video for the plant care so he could be sure of which ones needed what. Brilliant! I’d never thought of that. They were in great shape when I returned. I explained that I needed some flexibility with travel dates, he agreed and rolled with the punches like a champ when my dates did indeed change. Unfortunately, he was a bit allergic to my cat but made it work anyway. He was really awesome about everything including a tree that fell next door in a storm and blocked the road for three days. I appreciate that he appreciated how funny and how much personality Boo has. They got along well and I received some great videos. I returned home to a happy cat and a house well taken care of 😊. I would definitely recommend Brian.
Kathryn was a wonderful sitter for Princessa! She was flexible and communicative and took great care of my cat and home.
Nathalie and John were great! They were great house sitters to watch our two dogs, 2 geckos, our old cat and bull frog. Their two girls took good care of the animals as well. The house was exactly how we left it. We really appreciated their help!
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!
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.
