Providing Pet Sitting in the Ekero, Sweden
Animal-loving and responsible couple
Carl-August and Jennie are lovely people and great sitters. I would recommend them to anyone else without hesitation. They were able to arrange their travel plans so we could meet briefly before their time at my place to go over some last minute info/questions. We had regular contact throughout their stay, but they were very laid back and self-sufficient. My cats were both clearly very comfortable and happy staying with Carl-August and Jennie and will probably miss having 4 petting hands around the house instead of just 2. I came back to an apartment that looked basically as clean and orderly as I'd left it. A+

Mature pet loving travelers couple
Magdalena and Michal are a charming couple, very experienced sitters with a real fondness for cats. They live not far from my home in Uppsala and kindly agreed to visit before the sit to pick up the keys and meet my pets. Tibby and Chico quickly overcame their timidity and made clear their approval. Everything went smoothly in the week they were here. Magdalena sent entertaining messages and beautiful photos, and introduced the cats to new toys and flavours of Dreamies. I came back to an orderly flat and two happy felines. You'll be glad too if you're fortunate enough to have M&M as sitters!

Once an animal finds a way into your heart, it's impossible to life without!
Couldn't be happier they were able to stay at quite late notice and look after our two dogs. Because of the timing we weren't able to meet in person, which would have been everyone's preference, but instead we arranged a video call in advance and everything worked out well. The dogs are young and boisterous, and no doubt a handful, it was nevertheless reassuring that they have plenty of experience with all types of pet situations. The house was wonderfully clean when we returned and the dogs were happy and content in the photo updates we were getting.

Travel photographer & Pastry chef looking for inspiration and new experiences
Angela and her partner were fantastic house sitters. They looked after our cat, Honey Monster really well and sent us a picture and update every day we were away so we knew how he was and that they were getting on ok. They also did a great job of looking after the plants in our home and garden and even repotted a pot plant that needed it! They left the house in a lovely state and were an absolute pleasure to deal with. We'd definitely have them back again!

Calm and friendly couple who loves animals
Sara and James were fantastic house & pet sitters. They were communicative and gave me regular updates which enabled me to relax and enjoy my travels. I cannot thank them enough for taking care of my house and cat so well and giving me the peace of mind to travel without the stress of thinking I’d left a stressed cat at home.

Swedish lady who loves animals
Asa took care of our seven horses, four dogs, four cats and chicken for about three weeks in October / begin November 2021. Since I had mentioned that I would prefer her not being alone here with all our animals, she had « organised » several (rider) friends to stay here together with her. From the very first moments on, Asa showed an incredible flexibility. When arriving at our place, our dogs and cats wouldn’t move away from her, our cat Poppy even moved into her sleeping room from the first day on – we almost got jealous! As Asa has been a „horse person“ from early years (the same as me), it wasn’t necessary to explain the whys and whens and hows, and during the overlap days before our departure it was a working hand-in-hand and making rides together to show some of the itineraries. With her fresh, cheerful, humorous, direct way Asa gave us the feeling of having friends around with us. We really enjoyed these overlap days that we could pass together with her and her friend Christina before our departure, sharing rides, work, food and wine. We were almost sad when we „had“ to leave, but we knew at the same time that all our animals were in best hands! There were some unforseen situations during our absence, the horses made several „horseplay nonsense“, but Asa controlled the situation. This was the general tonus, when Asa says „I manage“, you can believe she does! So we had absolute peace of mind, knowing that Asa was there and managed! Also, my husband Régis had to return earlier from holiday than planned, I asked Asa to continue to stay and handle the animals. Asa is top, far away from being „squeamish“ she manages all kind of situation, sees where things need to be done and starts to do them, all this paired with a great flexibility – a real „horse person“! (yes, this has become like an insider term). We enjoyed the time we had with her, our dogs and cats did the same, the horses had daily workouts and were in a good shape when we came back. To Asa and her friends, a big THANK YOU for everything! We hope to see you back again (Lycian Way in Turkey?), and pass our hello also to Christina and your other friends who stayed here with you! xxxx Katharina, Régis and Selen

Cat loving experienced catsitter would love to help you taking care of your cats
She is amazing! She was very responsive and communicative , and took great care of the kitties and left my apartment in better shape than it was in when she got there
There are not enough words in the English language to express my deepest gratitude to Teresa and all the amazing love and care she showed my sweet cat Milo. From the moment she met Milo, I knew there was going to be a very special bond. He instantly relaxed when he first met and already looked so happy and at peace with her. The bond between the two of them only seemed to get stronger and stronger with every day that I was away. This two-week trip was so important for me as it was the first real "vacation" I had taken in a few years. I was in desperate need of a mental and physical break and knew that in order to have a true "time off', I needed to feel completely at peace with Milo being well-taken care of. Well my prayers were answered as Teresa was the "cat whisperer" I was hoping for. I could not have asked for a better, more compassionate, self-reliant, and intuitive sitter ! Teresa was also so diligent in sending me her daily picture and video updates of my cat. With every picture and video I saw, I knew that Milo was so happy being with her and I never worried for one minute while I was away. What a gift ! Teresa was also a serious life-saver for me as literally an hour before I was leaving for my trip, I found out my cat's tracker app was not working and after a few emails and phone calls, we found out the tracker's server was down. Teresa took the initiative to follow up with getting the tracker to work again which was a HUGE stress-relief for me . She is not only wonderfully savvy with animals but also with technology as well ! I feel so fortunate to have Teresa in my life now, not only as an amazing sitter for Milo but also as a wonderful friend for life! Thank you, Teresa for everything.... Milo and I so appreciate you .....
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.
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.
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.
We knew that we would have a good experience with Carole & Ron from the moment we first had a video chat with them. They are very experienced house sitters and it showed in the questions they asked about our cats and our home. We were so fascinated by them that we invited them to arrive a day early so that we could all go out for lunch and then dinner to hear about their travel stories and share a few of our own. When we left, we felt very confident in our choice and took off on our trip with confidence that our dear kitties would be well cared for. We were not disappointed as Carole & Ron sent us photos and an update the very next day to let us know that all was well. During the next two weeks, we never had a moment of concern and fully enjoyed our vacation knowing that these seasoned sitters were both looking after our place and also enjoying themselves exploring our wonderful city of Philadelphia. We came home to two very happy cats, a clean house, and even a full bowl of fresh fruit on our kitchen counter. We would absolutely have Carole & Ron sit for us again and we wish them the very best of fun and exploration in their future adventures!
Hannah and Joseph were brilliant sitters - totally reliable and trustworthy. Quick to respond to queries and their past experience with dog/ housesitting was very apparent. Our 2 dogs and 1 cat were well looked after and the house was spotless on our return. We are totally happy to recommend them.
Anna was a wonderful sitter for our furry friends. My dog, Luke, bonded with her and was sad when she left. My cats would crawl under the covers and curl up with her at night. She is a true animal magnet and lover. I highly recommend Anna to anyone who wants their pets to recieve first class love while away.
Heidi was an outstanding cat sitter for my Luna! She was very communicable via calls or texts. She followed all my guidelines for feeding and care of Luna. Luna was very content when I arrived home thanks to Heidi! My home was immaculate when I arrived and she did some snow shoveling. She even pulled a large broken tree branch off my roof following a windstorm. I hope Heidi is available for my next trip because she is awesome. Jim
If Cung ever applies to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the offer. You will not be disappointed. Cung is among the top (if not the top) sitter I’ve ever had and I’ve been on this site for years. Primarily, Cung is very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Cung kept me abreast of his 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 him through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Cung really cares. When he got to my apartment after what I assume was a long day of traveling, I explained the care instructions and he was 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 Cung followed those exactly. Third, Cung makes 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 within an hour of me being away - very fast for my cat as he is shy. Cung must have a calming energy towards animals. Cung was also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 5 minutes. I really appreciated that. My cat threw up at one point and Cung answered all of my questions to assess whether my cat was sick or had just eaten too fast. Fourth, Cung will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The sheets were washed and folded on my bed. 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. Cung also respects your property. I have an extensive computer setup that he used for work and he was very respectful of that equipment. He asked if he could use it beforehand, which was incredibly polite since he could have used it and I wouldn’t have known. In sum. You need to jump at the opportunity if Cung offers to sit for you. I came home to a very happy cat. Hope he will sit for me again sometime!
My husband and I reached out to Toby & Chloe after reading their profile and impressive reviews only a week before our trip, since our scheduled sitter had to cancel at the last moment. They were very friendly and quick to respond to chat from the very beginning, and ended up exceeding our expectations during their two week stay. It was evident they had thoroughly read our Welcome Guide beforehand, as they arrived knowledgeable and prepared to care for our home and pets. They were very willing and happy to take the necessary time with us to walk through the house and meet our cats, as we got them acclimated with our daily routines and answered any questions. Shortly after we left, our city had a heat wave come through, and after immediately notifying us, Toby went beyond the call of duty and inspected our struggling AC unit to pinpoint the issue. As far as cat care is concerned, we have two seniors (who have more sensitive tummies) that can get irritated after a fur ball or swallowing anything out of the ordinary. When this occurred, Toby & Chloe stepped in and took wonderful care of our cat duo; softening their food and even cradling while hand-feeding them for extra comfort. We truly could not have asked for more affectionate and responsible sitters. We returned to a spotlessly clean home, happy cats, and well maintained plants and pool. (They even cleaned our dusty Kitchen pendant lighting, which requires a steady hand and is definitely a time-commitment …We felt like professional housecleaners had been there!) On our way back, Toby & Chloe stayed in communication with us to monitor our arrival time, allowing them to care for our cats until just before we got home. Overall, they are very reliable and trustworthy sitters whose genuine goal is to provide a top-quality sit, while maintaining your household and seamlessly transitioning to your pets daily schedule.
