Betsy was wonderful and we'd love to have her back to sit any time. She was responsive from the beginning, sent us a message when she arrived at our house, sent pics and cute updates on our kitties throughout the stay, and left our house looking great when we returned. Having her sit brought peace and ease while we were away.

Cynthia and Ken were awesome! Our pups loved them! I am not sure they even missed us… :) House was super clean and tidy when we came back. Plants were taken care of, and they were great at sending daily photo updates of the pups and the bunny! We cant wait to have them watch our fur babies again!

Wow! I don't know where to start. John is so super outstanding in every way! He drove hours out of his way just to come and meet me and my pets because I had to leave earlier than originally planned. He had already reviewed the welcome guide and put reminders in his calendar. I knew from that moment that I had chosen the right sitter. He is kind, compassionate and hit it off with my pets right away. My shy dog took to him easily. He kept in touch throughout. He managed my new kitten as she developed her spunky and curious personality by adapting the surroundings to keep her and my things safe. He noticed that my dog was not acting normally and started throwing up. He notified me right away and worked with my friend and vet to get him cared for. This happened towards the end of his visit, but he did everything needed. Took him to and from the vet, administered medication and special diet and monitored his condition closely. His quick action kept it from becoming a serious illness. I am very grateful to John for his excellent care of my pets and home. I returned to a very clean house with freshly watered plants and laundered linens & towels and very happy pets. Do not hesitate to click "invite to sit" if you are lucky enough to have John apply. I give him my highest recommendation and would love for him to return!

Laura was absolutely amazing! I wish we could have her house sit for us every time we go away. It was so lovely to meet her before hand and she put us at ease straight away. Laura gave us regular updates about the cats and sent us lots of cute pictures of them. Her communication was exceptional and her kind, warm and caring nature enabled the cats to take to her quickly. One of our cats isn’t usually friendly with strangers, but we could tell that he was instantly comfortable with her in the house. Laura left the house very clean and we returned home to 2 very happy cats 😸

Amanda and David loved our dog like she was their own dog. They sent regular updates and photos of our dog on walks and cuddling on the couch. They took care of our numerous house plants. They left the house incredibly clean, taking the initiative to clean bed linens, etc. We appreciated their dog/house sitting and are so grateful for the care they showed for our dog.

Brian is an awesome housesitter and he did a great job taking care of my cats and my home for almost a month. During the time he was here at my house the island experienced a pretty big storm and the power was out for over 48 hours. (This hasn't happened in many years so it was very unexpected.) Brian was cool and calm throughout. I think I was more worried than he was. Brian is an excellent communicator; he responded quickly any time I texted. He sent adorable videos of my two cats who totally fell in love with him. In fact, they are still sleeping on the guest bed as I write this, hoping Brian will come back. And I hope he will return to sit for us again some day soon.

Debra took fantastic care of our cats and sent us great updates and pictures frequently over the course of our holiday. Our apartment was immaculate when we arrived home, which is always such a relief after travelling. Even our ultra cautious cat made several appearances which speaks volumes. We would definitely have Debra sit for us again and cannot recommend her highly enough!

H was a delightful housesitter. He is a fascinating conversationalist, extremely tidy, and a real lover of dogs. Cowboy took to him immediately maybe because of the many walks, back scratches, and belly rubs that he sensed were coming. H also took care of the yard, watered plants, and kept the fountains full. I would be happy to have H stay in my house and sit for my dog anytime. He is on my list of go to Housesitters.

Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.

Toby and Chloe were amazing pet sitters. It wasn’t the easiest sit - a nervous dog and 3 cats with various ailments and medication to have, but they took it all in their stride and cared for them so well without any issues. Our nervous dog Zelda warmed to them in just 2 days which is a record for house sitters so far! 

I also really enjoyed getting to know them over dinner the night before I left, they’re very easygoing and positive people. They also left the house spotless for when I came back. 

I would love to have them sit for us again. You can rest assured your house and animals are in safe hands with this lovely pair!

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!

Ally was great! 
We got to meet for a few minutes before I headed out and I felt super reassured that both Goose and my home were in good hands. 
My cat is picky when it comes to strangers, but he was comfy in Ally’s lap right away the first night! 
She communicated well and sent cute pictures while I was away. My home was clean and Goose was happy when o got back. 
I highly recommend Ally as a sitter and she’s welcomed back anytime!

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!

After seeing the numerous positive reviews, I knew Cung would be an easygoing and professional cat sitter and house guest, and he was :-) Easy communication, prompt updates and clear concern for Boz & Artie's wellbeing, and pictures of cozying up on the couch together all made our time away secure and stress free. Upon returning home, the cats were chill and the apt was left spotless, as though he hadn't even been there.

Wow!  Just wow!  We cannot say enough about the care and compassion Trisha and John provided to our cats and our home.  We are always somewhat nervous about a new pet sitter in our home, but that all faded when we met this wonderful couple.  They provided daily updates as requested, complete with pictures, videos and personalized captions.  Upon our return, we were greeted by happy and content kitties.  There was no sign of anxiety in Tika!  Yea!!!  Our home was clean, the sheets and towels were washed and bed remade!  They even left behind thank you notes and little gifts!  What a breath of fresh air these two individuals are!  We hope to have them back again soon.

My husband and I are so grateful for Cendy staying with our ~1yr old cat for nearly a full month. We were nervous to leave her for so long but Cendy had Wilma literally eating out of the palm of his hand and snuggling with him in no time. Cendy was incredibly communicative with us and attentive to Wilma consistently for the entire duration of the sit which was such a relief and gave us the piece-of-mind needed to fully enjoy our trip. We returned back to an impeccably clean apartment and a very content kitty. For the first few days back Wilma was definitely looking around for Cendy, missing her buddy. We (and Wilma!) would welcome Cendy back any time, especially for a longer stay knowing how responsible of a sitter he was. Couldn't recommend enough!

Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!

Catherine was a wonderful sitter for our 17 year old cat Zabba. She sent us pictures twice a day and kept us informed about Zabba’s daily activities. We came home to a clean  home and would definitely recommend her as a pet/ house sitter. My only concern was that she doesn’t drive and with an older cat, I just prayed that Zabba didn’t need to go to the vet…. And he didn’t 🥰. We will ask her again for sure.

Rick and Sally are marvelous cat sitters and we would gladly have them back anytime. We highly recommend them to any and all pet owners.  They arrived when they said they would and were ready to go when we returned, making sure our cats were present before departing.  Our home was left spotless, undoubtedly better than we left it for them.  We can't urge you enough to engage them if you can!
