We could not have been happier, and Amber our girl even more so. We have nothing but thanks and gratefulness for the wonderful care Emily and Robert took with Amber while we were away. At no stage did we feel anxious or stressed about how Amber was coping at home. First Class. The care for our home was just the same as we take; not one issue, and attention to the little things, not just the obvious things. We received regular daily updates on how Amber was doing, with photos and videos. Emily and Robert come with our unqualified recommendations. Thank you.

Sarah and Scott took great care of our dog and apartment in Oslo for over three weeks. They are super trustworthy and sweet people. Our dog loved them from the first meeting, and they updated us with pictures every day, which made our vacation away so much more relaxing. The house was super clean with all the plants alive and happy. We would absolutely recommend Sarah and Scott!

Wendy and Fred were absolutely amazing! We started with a video call to learn more about each other and the needs of our dogs. From that very first video call I knew they would be great. We remained in contact right up until they arrived, which put me right at ease. We agreed that it would best if they came the day before we were set to depart as a way to acclimatize the pups to having them in our home. The following day we gave them a tour and they asked all the right questions. The dogs were immediately comfortable with them which again put us at ease. While we were away, Wendy and Fred kept us up to date on how the pups were doing with lots of pictures. Its no surprise they were doing just fine!! More than fine actually, Darcy and Fred Bonded, which was easy to tell from all the pictures. The kittens were well taken care of as well, with Wendy giving them some personal TLC. Heading back home is always a pain, as we live 2.5 hours from the airport but Wendy and Fred assured me that they wouldn't leave the dogs until they knew we were safely on the road. When we arrived home, the place was spotless and the dogs were relaxing on the couch. I cannot give them enough praise. They were absolutely amazing. Loving our dogs as if they were their own. I highly recommend them both. Your pups will be lucky to have them

Cathie and Mike are a delightful, friendly couple who exude confidence. We had no difficulty leaving Jesse, our dog, in their capable hands. Their own dog, Fenny, came with them and she couldn't be a better example of how to look after a dog well. She and Jesse hit it off straightaway. Cathie sent us updates and photos of Jess every day. Jess looked relaxed and very happy.It was really reassuring to see that our precious little dog wasn't pining for us but having a great time with her new best friends. Cathie and Mike followed our care plan for Jess diligently: feeding twice a day, regular walks and ball time on the terrace. Fenny joined in too of course. On day seven of their stay the house lost its internet connection. Following our instructions, Mike did his utmost to solve the problem for us but the problem turned out to be with our internet provider. When we arrived home our house was super shiny clean; the laundry done and folded neatly, fresh, clean towels in the bathrooms and kitchen and the outside terrace swept too. Jesse was happy, lively and looked a picture of health. Cathie and Mike left by arrangement just before we arrived home. Saying thank you in a message doesn't seem to convey sufficiently our deepest thanks to them and Fenny. We would welcome them here at any time and cannot recommend them highly enough.

Jackie and Palma were two of the most considerate, kind, and communicative sitters we've ever had. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Not only did they take great care to understand the needs and personalities of my two cats, but they also dealt amazingly well with the fact that one of my cat's, Ernie, had surgery shortly before their sit. As a result, they gave him his daily post-surgery medication, kept him entertained even though he wasn't allowed to fully play, and gave him plenty of affection which I'm sure helped him to heal so quickly! As a sitter, leaving your pet shortly after they've had surgery is extra nerve wracking but Jackie and Palma's detailed, regular updates and clear affection for my cats really put my mind at ease while I was away. I couldn't have asked for a pair of better sitters (thank you!). Besides the top-notch cat care and communication, the flat was left in an absolutely spotless condition when we arrived home. All this to say, if you're lucky enough to have Palma and Jackie apply for your sit - take them up on it!

If I could give Lila 10 stars I would! She was proactive, responsive, kind, lovely to communicate with, responsible, flexible and adaptable, and incredibly tidy. She left the house spotless and took wonderful care of our cats. She was extremely flexible in helping us out with unexpected travel hitches, being able to stay an extra day at short notice. We are incredibly grateful to Lila for taking the worries about our fur babies off our shoulders, and I feel very fortunate to have met her - and knowing that she lives close by I hope she will perhaps come and stay again! Thank you Lila, we loved having you here :)

Michelle, was my first experience of a sitter and has set a high bar. She looked after my buddies like they were her own. My feral cat who runs from all humans made an exception with Michelle, the cat whisperer. Lightbulbs went, a tap broke, i was mortified while Michelle took everything in her stride. Storm my precious indoor buddy, escaped. Michelle, retrieved her safely, understood her separation anxiety and mine, and was very patient with her. Michelle sent regular updates, providing peace of mind, this was everything. I highly recommend Michelle as someone you can trust with your nearest and dearest, and your home. She also happens to be a fascinating person. It was pleasure to meet and chat with Michelle. Me and the four legged family, can't thank her enough.

Tom sat for us (without Mar) for a long weekend, arriving on the morning of our departure, at the planned time. He kept in touch prior to the sit and on the day to confirm his arrival time. It was a beautiful day and as we explored the garden, our cat Gabi joined us. She jumped up on the table and immediately rolled over in front of Tom to introduce herself. As we moved into the house, our other cat Zoe came by to see what was going on. She's usually pretty aloof, but to our delight, she walked directly to Tom to ask for cheek rubs. We were quite astonished as it's not like her at all. So, from the get go, we knew the kitties would be very happy. He must give out very happy Pheromones. =^..^= We established that we were likely to miss each other on our return, but Tom sent a great update on the girls and the house. It has to be said that, our house was immaculate. I could not even tell which of the guest bedrooms he'd chosen to sleep in. Sheets and towels were washed and dried, beds were remade, and towels were folded and replaced. Bathrooms were both as clean as they had been when we left. Given summer had finally arrived (in August!) he happily agreed to water the garden and updated when he had done so. He's lovely, calm, easy going and exudes positive energy. I wouldn't hesitate to have him sit for us in the future. Thanks for everything Tom.

Stuart and Emma are a lovely couple, warm, friendly and relaxed. They are fantastic pet and house sitters! The communication with Emma and Stuart was great, we had a video call beforehand and I felt straight away at ease with them. They came out the day before to get acquainted with the dogs and us. It was lovely meeting Emma and Stuart, it reassured us that the dogs and our house would be well looked after. They sent us every couple of days updates and photos of Penny and Rosa. When we came home we got a warm welcome, our "girls" were happy and relaxed and the house was tidy and clean. I would ask Emma and Stuart back any time and recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable petsitter! Our dogs will miss them, they had a good time with them. I hope that they will come back and sit again! Thank you so much!

"A relaxing and long time away from home made possible by the best pet & house sitters we could have asked for!"

Judy and Steph went the extra mile over their entire one month stay at our home. Both our cats became fast friends thanks to the care and dedication provided for them. We were routinely updated with spectacular photos of our furry girls throughout our leave that helped us be anxiety-free the entire time. Even our older shy cat spent time sleeping on their laps or hanging out on shoulders.

As for the house, Judy and Steph left it even cleaner than when they arrived! We had a few tasks to maintain the lawn and potted plants outside, which were completed perfectly. They even tended to our vegetable garden where needed! During a 'risk of severe hail storm' alert, Judy and Steph kept us in the loop and went even further to place potted plants under shelter out of harms way.

In summary, we recommend Judy and Steph and would happily have them return again if our schedules cross paths.

Julia was an amazing sitter and we couldn't be happier with our experience! From our first contact to when we arrived home after our trip, communication was excellent and we were able to enjoy our time away with complete peace of mind that our pets and our home were in good hands. We particularly appreciated how clean and tidy everything was when we got home with the linens and towels all washed and dried! Our cats clearly didn't miss us a bit - they were relaxed, their coats brushed and were giving us side-eye "oh, so, back to normal then? " looks as we unpacked. Thanks for everything Julia!

Florence and Robert were outstanding sitters.  We asked them to arrive a day early as our guests to learn the routine on our farm.  In getting to know them we found them to be good hearted, down to earth people with a love of animals and diligent in learning our routines to care for our poultry, cats and dog as well as our garden and orchard.  Not a typical or easy sit.  We travelled with ease knowing our critters were being well taken care of.

Arriving home, the house was very clean and looked well cared for.  The animals were healthy as were the garden and orchard.  Out pets missed them when they left – our dog stared down the driveway after them until their car was out of sight.

It is nice to find sitters we would like to hang out with and we look forward to having them sit for us again.

Pares is an experienced and quality sitter and we knew our cat Juniper (and a few plants) was well cared for. We received regular updates and photos which was really nice to have during our travels. While we missed Juniper, we could see that she enjoyed receiving cuddles and attention from Pares. Upon returning home, our flat was clean and tidy, and Juniper was very happy! Thank you for taking care of her!

Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!

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.

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"!

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.

Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!
