Active retired animal lovers
Rose and Bruce were amazing sitters, and we welcome them back any time! Rose was communicative leading up to the designated dates and we really appreciated that they were willing to come a day early to meet us and the dogs, walk with us, allow us to show them our routine and ask questions we hadn't thought of. We were able to leave for our trip knowing that our girls were in great hands. We came home to happy dogs and a very clean and tidy home.

Lee and Stuart were excellent pet sitters! They loved our dog Brooklyn and she loved them. They kept us updated on her and made sure she was well taken care of. They were very neat and our house was in perfect condition when we came home. I would be happy to have them sit again.

Let this mature, responsible woman help to care for your priceless pets and home
Lori was absolutely amazing. She was so responsive and gave us updates on our furry princess every couple of days. When we returned home, the house was spotless (truthfully better than we left it!). Lori took care of our plants (during a mini heat-wave) and everything looked amazing when we got home. Our princess Artemis was happy, relaxed and content when we got home. We know that she was very well cared for and cuddled by Lori. We would not hesitate for a moment to have Lori sit with us again. Thank you Lori!

Your Pets Are in Good Paws
We have just returned from a 9 night trip and left our pup Chester in Meghan's very capable hands. Communication in advance of the sit was always replied to quickly and she messaged me regularly on her arrival day to keep me updated on her journey. On arrival Chester and I both warmed to her immediately and she made a big fuss of him, which he loved. I showed her the house and a quick tour of our local area and had full confidence that both Chester and our home were in good hands. Throughout our trip Meghan sent us updates and photos which were lovely to see and on our return, our house was immaculate and she had even left both us and Chester a small gift which was so kind of her. We would welcome Meghan back any time, and in fact have already asked if she would like to come back for our next holiday! :)

Reliable, Responsible, Caring, Communicative, Respectful, Active Animal Lover
Margi won my trust and confidence in her from my first online meeting with her and was true to her word throughout our interaction. She understood how to treat my rather feisty Siamese from the beginning and I never had a moments worry about the cat while she was looking after her. She was undaunted by facing the challenge of the wettest winter on record in Cape Town and struck a good balance between using her own initiative and communicating with me about issues. I can recommend Margi as a pet and house sitter without hesitation.

Looking to make new furry friends
We couldn’t have asked for better cat sitters for our two kitties. They took great care of our house and our pets, and they were communicative and tidy. We’d have them back any time — and we’d highly recommend them!

Fun, sweet family, wants to love on your pets!
Jennifer and her family were amazing. They cared wonderfully for both the house as well as my two cats and big dog. Jennifer was so sweet to update me every day or two to keep me me know how things were going. The house was very clean and felt great when I returned. I would have them back in a heartbeat.

Emily took great care of our parrots for an entire month. She sent us updates and videos regularly and left the house super clean. Her dog stayed too, and we all learned he doesn’t like thunder storms when he did some anxiety chewing. Emily immediately let us know and offered to pay for the damaged shoe. Things happen, right? I highly recommend Emily as a sitter!

Making animal friends and traveling!
Egypt was so sweet and very patient with me on my first experience as a host. I hope she signs up again. My pets loved her!
Kendra was a great cat sitter to Genepi and she truly is a cat whisperer. Genepi usually takes 4 days to make friends with a new person but she came out and made friends with Kendra Day 1! Kendra regularly sent wonderful videos and pics of Genepi purring happily. The apartment was neat when we returned and our garden was blossoming. Would absolutely ask Kendra to sit again and highly recommend her. Thanks Kendra!!
We were very lucky to have had Nia for our recent house sit. She communicated well before the sit and arrived as planned. We shared a meal before we left which gave us time to get to know her and tell her about the house and our pets. After we left it soon became clear the cats loved Nia and the attention she gave them. We were kept informed throughout her stay with regular updates and video clips of what they were up to and how the garden was growing etc. We highly recommend Nia as a pet/house sitter and we would certainly have her back should the opportunity arise. Thanks again Nia
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!
Cung is a diligent and communicative cat sitter and house guest, and we'd highly recommend him! We hope to have him back again soon
Paige, David, and family were WONDERFUL sitters for my crew! They were so pleasant and personable, and the pets warmed up to them very quickly. Even my rescue cat who tends to stray away from men loved David. I received regular updates and communication (before and during the sit). I truly did not have any concerns while I was away knowing that everyone had such great care and attention given to them. (I know the dogs had a good time because when I came home there was no commotion over my return.) I was away on NYE and Paige had no issues keeping an eye on one of the dogs who has anxiety surrounding loud noises. The family cleaned up after themselves and may have left the house cleaner than when I left! Truly such a great family who I would welcome back any time!
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.
If Macie and Roman ever apply to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the. offer. You will not be disappointed. They are among the top (if not the top) sitter I've ever had and I've been on this site for years. Primarily, they are very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Macie and Roman kept me abreast of their 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 them through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Macie and Roman really care. When they got to my apartment after a very long morning of traveling, I explained the care instructions and they were 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 Macie and Roman followed those exactly. Third, Macie and Roman make 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 of hiding very quickly and was snuggling with them and letting them hold him. It was so nice to see the pictures of them all bonding! Macie and Roman have a calming energy towards animals for sure! Macie and Roman were also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 30 minutes. I really appreciated that. Fourth, Roman and Macie will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. 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. Macie and Roman also respects your property. We had a room we asked them not to enter and they respected that. In short, Macie and Roman are amazing. I would have them back in a heartbeat. If you have any questions I would be happy to answer them. Ask Macie and Roman for my number.
Jose was a wonderful pet/house sitter for us recently. We highly recommend him. He was wonderfully reliable and responsible and took such good care of our two pets. On short notice Jose drove down from Grass Valley to the East Bay for a bit of a quiet get-away while working a really hard job teaching online. We know how hard that is firsthand and partly why we needed our own get-away for a last-minute backpacking trip. We have a recently rescued pit bull and a rescued cat that we're still introducing to each other to make sure the dog doesn't eat the cat (as he seems to want to), and the cat doesn't blind the dog (as she would if he tried to eat her). That might be more background than is needed in a review but Jose made us feel comfortable about everything because of how conscientious and responsible he clearly is. We could tell when we talked to him that he was genuinely kind and eminently trustworthy. We are very grateful and hope Jose was happy with everything too because we know what a value his care was to us. Jose truly deserves any and all house-sitting gigs that strike his interest. Ours was not the easiest and he was amazing. Get him if you can.
Kristine was wonderful again as our local sitter from just down the street. The boys take to her like she is their best friend whenever she comes to sit with them. She sent us photos of them playing, relaxing, drinking water and eating so we knew they were well taken care of. The house and the cats were in excellent shape and excellent hands while we were away. It is wonderful that she enjoys the house and the cats so much and tells us so. Kristine comes with our highest recommendation! Thank you Kristine!
