Solo “Van Girl” Traveling Full-Time and Working Virtually
This was my first time using trusted sitter and I have to say Emily’s removed any doubt for me. My two doodles were well taken care of. Emilye cleaned up the house and the areas she used while with us. I’m so thankful I took a leap of faith on this one. I hope in the future she’s available to continue to sit for us.

Loving, mature animal lover. I'll take great care of your precious fur babies.
Sylvia could not be better. She took excellent care of the dog and left the house perfectly clean. I highly recommend Sylvia!

Dependable, knowledgeable, and ready to travel.
Diane was absolutely fantastic in every way & has become a friend to me and all of my friends. We are all hoping she returns soon and my pup is mourning her leaving. She even held Piper on her lap all the way to the airport. I was able to vacation without a single concern about my pup or my household. She really has me spoiled (my dog too!) Thanks Diane!!

Fully Vaccinated Retired Couple Will Care for Your Home And Pet
We loved having Jerry and Doris back for a second stay! They continue to give Bailey all the love and attention while we are away and it was obvious on our return that he was very well cared for while we were gone. Bailey is very comfortable with them so much so he was on Doris’s lap even after we returned. Our house was spotless and they are good communicators. We hope to have Jerry and Doris return again!

Jessi was a great sitter that drove my dogs to the park many times during her stay. I appreciated her care and frequent updates.

We love your animals! Domestic and international house sitting experience
Lindsey and Josh were initially responsive and communicative, making scheduling and initial video calls easy and efficient. We had two video calls; the first was with Lindsey and Josh and the second only with Lindsey. The second call included a detailed virtual tour of our home and pets, during which I gave explicit instructions on pet care. We also provided pre-recorded instructional videos for their reference. Upon our return, our home was in good condition, and our cats seemed happy and well cared for, which we truly appreciate. However, toward the end of the sit, there was an unfortunate issue with the care of our reptiles. Josh unplugged the heat lamp for one of our reptiles, believing it had shorted out and was a fire hazard, and placed it outside overnight without informing us. This was concerning because we had previously explained in the video call that the lamp, though hot (because it is a heat lamp), was functioning normally and posed no hazard. Additionally, he unplugged the extension cord providing power to our other tank leaving both our reptiles without heat for over 20 hours. While we understand the safety concern, we would have preferred immediate communication when they believed there was an issue. It was only after we noticed the lamp outside through our external security camera (which they were informed of in our listing and on the initial call) while checking if our trash had been picked up by the city after seeing our trash service was 2 days late in our community’s Facebook page and inquired that they then informed us about the situation. Fortunately, our pets were unharmed, and we confirmed that all equipment was in proper working order upon our return. Overall, while there was a miscommunication regarding the heat sources, Lindsey and Josh ensured our other pets were well looked after. Our only suggestion to them would be to ensure clear, prompt communication in case any issues arise.
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.
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!
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.
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.
Daniel and Vasylyna were incredible house sitters and we would welcome them back to sit for us again any time they are available! They were fantastic communicators, making sure to work out details far in advance and they sent frequent picture updates of our animals which made us so happy while we were away. When the power went out in the neighborhood while they were here leading to a technology issue with our alarm system, they handled everything well. Upon our return, the house was clean, the garden was thriving and well cared for, and our dog and cat were clearly very loved while we were away - in fact our dog was sooooo sad to see them leave! I had the pleasure of getting to know them a bit before I left, and they are such a kind, adventurous, and great couple. I would highly recommend having Daniel and Vasylyna take care of your house, plants, and animals!
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!
Denae and Burl were absolutely fabulous house/pet sitters for 4 weeks, Dec 2022- Jan 23. They are very friendly and intelligent, caring towards the animals (2 cats and 1 lively dog), and left our home clean and tidy. It all went very, very smoothly. It was a pleasure to deal with such nice people. We have invited them back whenever they want and hope the rest of their exploratory mission is a great success. I would be pleased to be contacted if anyone needs a further reference.
Karen was an extraordinary house and pet sitter who I hope to invite back again soon. You would be extremely fortunate to have her take care of your pets and home. From the very beginning she radiated calmness, knowledge, caring and curiosity. We had a great initial conversation where Karen answered questions I didn't even know I should be asking, and asked excellent questions so she could be prepared and understand the special needs for both my cat and home. She flew into my city the day before I was leaving and stayed at a nearby hostel so that we could meet in person and do a walk through of my home. They say pets have an intuitive nature about people, and I knew Karen would be a winner when my normally very shy/nervous cat came right up and let her pet him. Karen sent wonderful pictures and updates while I was gone and asked questions when she wasn't sure about something. When I returned home everything was spotless and my cat was content. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better house sitter experience. Thank you Karen!
Caroline was a fabulous sitter and looked after our cat and the house beautifully. She is sensible and very self-sufficient but also kept us informed. We came home to a happy cat and a tidy house. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others and hope she will sit for us again in the future!
I whole-heartedly recommend Carly and her partner Fanny to sit for you! They were fabulous and reliable house sitters from start to finish. Carly was timely and thoughtful in all of her communications and let us know the state of affairs in our apartment with our cat and plant babies while we were away. They followed our directions to a 'T.' We came home to find a happy cat, thriving plants, a spotless apartment and laundered linens. We would definitely consider contacting them again to house sit for us!
