Trust worthy couple looking for pet sit
Ziggy and Stardust are normally very cautious around new people and somehow Donna and Darren completely won them over! I have never seen them so settled, calm and content when we have arrived home from a holiday! We were able to meet Donna and Darren for a video chat and then in person before the sit started and it was clear immediately that our cats and home would be well looked after whilst we were away. Whilst we were away they kept us up to date as much as was needed and when we returned home I'm sure the house was cleaner than when we left! We are already planning another sit from them for next summer and my only hesitation to recommend them is that other people will 'steal' them from us!..

Quiet, gentle female sitter
Deena and Brent looked after our dogs and house with such love that we have asked them to come back again in August and are so excited that they have agreed. I have absolutely nothing but great things to say about their genuine empathy for our dogs. Our house was spotless and the dogs were so relaxed when we got home. We felt so comfortable leaving them in charge. It allowed us to enjoy our break away knowing that we had left them in such capable hands. If I could give them a 6 star review I would !!!!

We love travel, we love animals! Active, non-smoking NZ/UK couple available now!
I am writing this review because it looks as though I don’t rate them but the real reason is that they couldn’t come because we were all locked down last year and had to stay at home! Really wished I’d met them… I’m sure they would have been great! I give them five stars anyway 👍

Pet-Loving Kiwi Family of 3 - Exploring the World in 2024
Karen and her daughter Maya were excellent sitters. They are very kind, tranquil and reliable persons. We met on the day of their arrival and they took the time to get to know the house and our cat Rufus. Communication was very easy and correct during our trip. Karen had washed the sheets they used and the house was tidy when we got home, which was nice. Our old cat Rufus is losing his eyesight and is therefore easily scared but Karen and Maya managed to gain his confidence quickly. He was very at ease and well fed when we got back home. We would surely recommend Karen and Maya and were happy to have them as housesitters🍀😻👍

Experienced, trustworthy, flexible, pet loving Kiwi/Brit couple.
We feel extremely lucky that Carole and Paul came to stay and look after our dog Sammy whilst we were away. Unusually we were able to meet in person beforehand which was brilliant. As soon as i met them i knew Sammy and the house were in excellent hands. Carole updated me occasionally to reassure me all was well and sent pictures of Sammy on lovely walks. When we returned the house was spotless and we were totally spoilt as they had left us some homemade soda bread and beautiful kiwi gifts. Carole had washed the bedding and towels and Paul had even mowed the lawn!! We are extremely grateful for the love and care they gave Sammy and i imagine he was very disappointed to see them go. I hope that if they are back in the UK they will consider staying at Stable Cottage again. Thank you Carole and Paul for everything.

Responsible and reliable older women or couple
Marion and her granddaughters took wonderful care of our pets and our house which gave us great comfort while we were away. We would certainly use her service again.
Sofia and Nicole were excellent sitters to our 2 playful cats (an adult tabby and a BIG Maine coon kitten). They gave us a couple updates daily with pictures, as we requested. They were easy to communicate with before and throughout the entire sit. When we came home, our apartment was tidy (probably neater than we left it!) and our cats were relaxed and happy. They were also kind enough to leave us with some sweet bandanas for our boys. We were super pleased with the quality of care, and would happily recommend Sofia and Nicole to anyone in need of a pet or house sitter!
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
I'm delighted to have found Lisa as a sitter and hope to have her back again! She was detail oriented and clearly cared about my cats' well being. She asked good questions about the cats' routines and needs and about the house to be sure she'd meet my expectations and have a comfortable and successful sit. She communicated very well before and throughout the sit and even though I was unreachable for much of the time I was confident everyone was in good hands. Lisa left the house in immaculate condition and the cats were relaxed and happy when I got home. What a delight!
Anna was an excellent sitter - she took great care to understand all of the intricacies of taking care of the house and cats, asked lots of questions, and arrived on time and ready for the sit. During the trip, she checked in with updates, and upon returning home, left the space tidy and clean. The cats were happy and healthy, and seemed to have had a great time during the sit. Thanks Anna!
Joi did a wonderful job caring for my two cats and two guinea pigs, as well as caring for my home! She is coming back in November for a long sit while I am out of the country and we all can’t wait. Joi had experience with rabbits and jumped right in with guinea pig care. She is so calm around them that they were sitting on her lap day one! She spent time preparing their vegetables and kept their enclosure and room clean, which requires daily effort. She even washed the floor mats in their room so it was fresh when I returned home. She went above and beyond sending me daily photos and videos so I could see that everyone was healthy and happy. It was apparent to me that she spent a lot of time with my pets, which is very important so they don’t become stressed and lonely when I am away. Joi also took excellent care of my two cats. They receive daily wet food with some medication and she ensured that they received it on time. My cats barely noticed when I returned because they got so much attention from Joi. She took excellent care of my front garden flowers and my tomato and herb hydroponic gardens. These take some daily attention and time in the summer, and I returned home to them looking great! Joi is a very caring, clean, and thoughtful sitter and I hope she comes back many more times!
Brian is a very professional sitter that does a good job, pays attention to details and is easy to work with. I have a lot of plants. A lot. He suggested me do a video for the plant care so he could be sure of which ones needed what. Brilliant! I’d never thought of that. They were in great shape when I returned. I explained that I needed some flexibility with travel dates, he agreed and rolled with the punches like a champ when my dates did indeed change. Unfortunately, he was a bit allergic to my cat but made it work anyway. He was really awesome about everything including a tree that fell next door in a storm and blocked the road for three days. I appreciate that he appreciated how funny and how much personality Boo has. They got along well and I received some great videos. I returned home to a happy cat and a house well taken care of 😊. I would definitely recommend Brian.
Marianna was an incredible house sitter and cat sitter. She gave our property and sweet kitty top notch care. She is kind, easy to communicate with, thorough, etc. Would highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed.
Elyse was one of the best pet sitters we've ever met! Couldn't recommend her more. We hope she stays at our place again. She sent many pictures of our beloved cats throughout our absence. We returned to our cats seeming relaxed and happy as ever. She also left our apartment sparkling clean. 10/10 :)
Oh wow! Everyone should be so lucky to have Nicholas and Veerle watch their house and pets. These lovely people are pros! They communicated early and often, were super accommodating to some last minute changes (it was originally going to be only our cats to watch but we decided to keep the dog home as well so that added to the schedule and care needs) and they left the house spotless and all set up for another sitter who came in after them. We didn’t get the chance to meet because my departure and arrival times but I dearly hope I get to in the future because they were just great! I even heard how nice they were from My neighbors who say them out walking our dog. :-) They also sent regular pictures of the pets which look like pro-photography! Cannot recommend this couple enough! Your pets and house will be in good hands!
Karen was able to step in a sit for me on short notice after another sitter canceled. She was very thorough and communicative and I felt I had left my apartment and cats in good hands with her. I came home to a clean apartment and happy cats. I definitely recommend Karen as a sitter.
