Hillegom, Netherlands
Our home is where we are
Edwin and Maxim were wonderful housesitters for us and were great companions for our little dog Toby. They spent about a month taking care of our apartment in Lisbon, Portugal and keeping Toby happy and without separation anxiety. Furthermore, they kept our large apartment spotlessly clean, going well beyond what would be expected to clean, polish, dust, and vacuum and maintain the kitchen and bathrooms perfectly. In addition, they made sure the car was started each week to keep the battery charged, collected the mail each day, and watered the plants on our balcony. Both Edwin and Maxim are charming with delightful personalities, and they are a pleasure to work with. In addition to providing excellent care for our dog Toby and the apartment, they kept us informed with near daily reports, photos and videos. We wholeheartedly give them our very highest rating and would be happy to have them back the next time we travel.

Reliable teacher looking for opportunity to house and pet sit.
Bianca was a great sitter and despite us being very last minute with the sit, was very willing to accommodate us. She sent us updates of the kitties throughout the day and was in general very self sufficient. We would definitely recommend her!

A thoroughly 5 star pet and house sit. Salomé and Joop did an excellent job in keeping our dogs happy and our house clean and well occupied. They are professional people and very detailed and very respectful for other people's house. I would strongly recommend them to anybody. Please do come again...

Experienced & Enthusiastic Pet Sitting Couple
Jacki and Aaron looked after my two cats for three weeks this summer and I would have no hesitation in having them back again. They bonded with my cats very quickly and in each photograph they sent me, I could see how happy and relaxed Ianto and Iolo were with them. They were very personable, reliable, and trustworthy; they sent me regular updates and I really felt both my home and my cats were in very, very safe hands. I would highly recommend Jacki and Aaron! Thank you both for taking such good care of Ianto and Iolo!

The Most Responsible Person You'll Ever Meet
Our dog was i great hands with Christine, she was well looked after and cared for. We received pictures and updates. House and plants were just as well cared for, super tidy and considerate. Even gave us feedback as it was our first sit which helped a lot for the next (instruction manuals etc)

Cat Lover & Dog Friend, Exploring the World
Steffy looked after our cat and house for the second time and for an extended period of several months. We are very pleased with Steffy, she is very organised and our cat loves her. Steffy is self supporting doing other things than just housesitting, looks after the pool, exactly what you want! We love to get Steffy back on a next occasion. Thanks again for your great help!!

Emile and Floris were exemplary guests/sitters. Friendly, kind, communicative and showed genuine interest in Higgins’ care and well-being. Needless to say, I was assured that he was in good care and was worry-free while I was away. They were also remarkably tidy and respectful of my space which made it such a pleasure to come home. great guys!

Happy, adventurous, energetic, responsible, non-smoking with green fingers.
We cannot recommend Arco and Marianne highly enough! From the moment we connected with them, we felt completely at ease leaving our pets and home in their care. They looked after our two cats and our Great Dane expertly and with genuine care.They are also an interesting and inspiring couple and we were fortunate to be able to spend a little bit of time with them before we left. They have many interesting stories to tell if lives well lived so far! Arco and Marianne kept in constant communication throughout their stay, sending us regular updates via WhatsApp. We loved receiving their photos of our pets enjoying their time together. It's clear they have a genuine affection for animals, and our cats and Great Dane didn't miss us at all. When we returned home, our house was in immaculate condition. They took exceptional and even left everything tidier than when we left! It was such a pleasant surprise to come back to a spotless home, and it showed how considerate and respectful they are. Arco and Marianne are reliable, responsible, and incredibly caring sitters. We feel so fortunate to have found such a great couple to look after our pets. We would happily welcome them back anytime and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy house sitters. Thank you, Arco and Marianne, for taking such great care of our pets and home!

Reliable dog and cat lover with calm energy and lots of experience
Toby was awesome! Not only did we get some hilarious news of our cat but we also found our house in perfect condition. We didn't get to meet in-person but we had a video call with Toby as well as regular communications via messages so it was all very easy. Would recommend Toby 100%

Cat Lady: More of an eye for cats than for men. But just as attractive to dogs.
Jorien was a very caring and responsible house and pet sitter She kept in touch over the weeks we were away to keep us updated of how she was getting on with our dog and house She obviously spent quality time with him and establishing a great relationship We would thoroughly recommend her and would not hesitate in having her back
Shaina was a great sitter for my cat Lionel. She was great with communicating before the sit and was willing to come meet me in person before the sit. She also kept me updated throughout the sit, with photos and little notes. When I returned home the flat was tidy and Lionel seemed happy!
Cung was a wonderful cat sitter and housesitter and we would happily invite him back again. He was excellent with our cats and sent plenty of photos, and also left the house impeccably clean. We had to come back a day early and so we got to spend some time with him which we enjoyed as well. 10 out of 10 recommend! 
Becca was fantastic - we cannot say enough about how great she is as a pet and house sitter and as a human being! Becca committed to the sit 8 months in advance and was great with her responsiveness in communication during the long lead up to the sit. She arrived early and got the low downs on the animals and house stuff prior to us leaving. She woke up crazy early to help us get to the airport and picked us up when we returned, which made the traveling so much easier on our end. She left the house spot-less (and this is no exaggeration), with the linens cleaned, and a wonderful meal waiting for us upon our return. She is an absolute gem of a person with a great sense of humor and a kind and compassionate nature, and she really enjoys the animals in her care. Our dog and cat were very well cared for and totally at ease upon our return. If you are lucky enough to have Becca sit for you, you will be very pleased at how well she does the job!
Kathryn was amazing. She helped me figure plans out after another sitter dropped out at the last minute and saved the day! My cat and fish were well taken care of, and she was super communicative when my tank had a problem child moment. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, helpful, and caring sitter!!
Elisabeth was an excellent sitter for our cat. We were away for two weeks and received daily photos and notes from her about Catman's activities (i.e., sleeping and eating). She is definitely a cat lover and that was evident from our cat's calm behavior when we returned.
Ruoyi was the perfect sitter for our cat Toni! We would highly recommend her to any pet owner, and hope she can sit for us again in the future. Ruoyi was very thorough - she made sure there was full alignment on all the specifics of her pet duties, and she asked thoughtful questions regarding details we forgot to include in our guide. She always provided us timely updates at the agreed cadence, and gave us a ton of photos. From the photos, it's clear she got in a lot of play time with Toni, which we really appreciated! :) We were able to enjoy our entire vacation stress-free knowing Toni was in such good hands. Ruoyi left our apartment completely clean and offered to wash linens.
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.
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.
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.
Chris was a fantastic cat sitter for our elderly and high maintenance kitty. Chris was the perfect combination of responsible and on top of her medication needs while also being calm and relaxed about her picky eating habits and the need to monitor her food and medication consumption. He was prompt, easy to get a hold of, responsible, and overall, a great sitter. I would definitely recommend him and most certainly hope to have him stay with her again.
