Karen was perfect! She took excellent care of Charles and our home. We so enjoyed meeting her and hope she will sit for us again. We give her our highest recommendation.

Andrea
Steve recently house sat for us for a week whilst we visited family in the UK. He agreed to arrive a day earlier than we were leaving in order to familiarise himself with the dogs, their routines and varying needs and the house. The dogs took to him immediately so we were reassured by their reactions. While we were away he kept in contact to let us know how they all were and to ask anything that he wasn't sure about. He walked the younger two every day and let Belle set her own agenda as she does with us. On our return he picked us up in our car from the airport and stayed another night, cooking us our evening meal. The house was clean and tidy just as we had left it and the dogs were happy and contented. Steve was a trustworthy and competent house sitter and we would have no hesitation in recommending him. We didn't meet Andrea on this occasion as she did not come to Europe with him.

We are trusted house sitters who always believe in creating a win/win experience
I can't speak highly enough of Phil and Cathy as housesitters - they are wonderful, conscientious people who we can highly recommend, and set the benchmark for us for excellent housesitters. Phil and Cathy looked after our dog, Hanya, for 2.5 weeks whilst we were away on honeymoon, and we were able to fully enjoy our time away as we knew our dog and house were safe in their able hands - we had complete trust in them from the start, and their easygoing nature was highly reassuring. They were very communicative before and during the stay, sending us regular updates on Hanya, and spent most days taking her out on lovely walks in our local area! We returned to a clean and tidy house exactly as we left it (possibly even better!). We would absolutely love to welcome them back to our home at any point in the future - thanks again both!

Reliable, kind couple with a passion for adventure and love for our pets.
Hannah and Will are fabulous house sitters. Their communication before their stay was clear and they immediately put us at ease. They both clearly love animals and were able to deal with a last-minute change to the pet care instructions which involved giving tablets to a cat who isn’t used to it! They treated our house beautifully and I think they left it cleaner than they found it. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Hannah and Will and would 100% invite them to look after our pets in the future.

Katrina was absolutely fantastic! We received daily messages & photos letting us know how our pup was getting on. She sincerely felt love & affection for him which we knew from the first time they met. Couldn't have been more reassured that our pup was going to well cared for and safe. The one thing we were not prepared for was how well Katrina looked after our house & garden! We've had to struggle since she left to keep it as clean & well maintained. Thank you so much Katrina & good luck in all your future travels & pet sits!

Mature professional couple experienced housesitters and adoring pet carers
Bettina and Paul took the best care of our rescue pup, Nala. We arranged a meet and greet before hand and they arrived on the day of our departure on time with lots of questions on how to take the best care of Nala. We received lots of pictures while we were away and Nala enjoyed her long walks and extra cuddles. The house was absolutely spotless when we returned and we would have no hesitations in using Paul and Bettina again to look after our dog!

Mature, responsible sitter available :)
Cindy looked after our house and pets, (a British Shorthair cat and a Groodle dog) for almost 5 weeks while we travelled southern Africa. Cindy was very attentive in caring for the two fur boys. They enjoyed snuggling up with her on her bed and were clearly happy and relaxed when we returned. Our dog had been diagnosed with an illness shortly before we left and we were very grateful that Cindy was able to detect when medication was required and administer this to him - a great source of comfort for us while away. Our house was well looked after and neat and tidy when we returned and pot plants all taken are of. We would happily use Cindy's services again.

Ready to hang out with your critters - dogs, cats, chooks?
Linda stayed at our house for one week and we couldn't have wished for a better sitter to look after our house and pets. Linda was clearly experienced and comfortable with our dog and cat. She took our dog Alfie out for long walks every morning and made sure their usual routines were followed. She also posted us regular pictures and updates which was great. Having met Linda for a short while prior to us going away, we were quickly reassured our pets would be in safe hands, and that proved correct. We would not hesitate to recommend Linda and would be really pleased to host her again if the opportunity arose.
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!
We are thoroughly pleased with and impressed by Daniel's kind, generous, and careful care of our cat and our house. He is a committed and experienced sitter who completely understands his role and responsibilities and also how to gently win the confidence and affection of a pet. He is an excellent communicator, and he kept us regularly up to date on our cat's well being--sending us texts and photos at least once/week as we requested. Our cat who is a little afraid of new people, grew fond of him, and we have returned to a very calm, contented cat. We highly recommend Daniel, and we ourselves would be thrilled to engage him again when the need arises.
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!
Sabre is a sweet, honest person who stepped up at the very last moment (after the prior sitter flaked out) to watch our dog and cat for 17 days. When there were a couple minor accidents, she informed us of them right away. One involved a burnt pan (easy to do if you’re not familiar with an induction stovetop) which she offered to replace. Sabre also washed the towels and sheets, and made up the bed before we got home. The yard was pooper scooped and litter box was clean. Pets seemed well-cared for. When she had to leave town for several hours one day, she made sure to arrange for our neighbor take care of the pets. Additionally, I appreciated how she didn’t assume that it would be ok to bring her cat. When we found out she was going to keep her cat in a kennel during her stay here, we told her she could bring him which worked out fine. Overall, I would confidently recommend Sabre to watch your pets and house.
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.
Lindsey was super communicative, friendly, responsible, and an excellent sitter for our two cats. When we returned, our home was clean and our cats relaxed and happy as if we had never left ! She sent us photos and updates every day, as requested, and when a random mishap occurred in the apartment, she let us know right away and was proactive in handling issue. We felt like both our cats and our home were in very caring, capable and respectful hands. Excellent! Thank you Lindsey!
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!
Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!
Ann Marie was an excellent house sitter who went above and beyond. She flew in a day early and stayed at a local hotel so we she could meet my cat and get the keys before my early flight the next morning. When I returned, she and Tryke were best friends and the house was immaculate. She even washed the sheets and towels, and remade the bed. I strongly recommend Ann Marie for any future sits!
Pennee and Bill were the BEST pet sitters and guests ever! I really wanted them to stay forever ! Our cat, Miss Kitty bonded so much to them, that she really wasn’t that happy to see me when I got home .Our cat is a finicky eater and they tried all different types of food and treats for her. They sent me regular photos of miss kitty and I knew everything was great when most of the pics had miss kitty on their lap. Our cat doesn’t take to many people but she immediately fell in love with them. Pennee sent us our mail and prescription meds on a regular basis , and went out of her way to take care of any issues . They fell in love with the neighbors and community and just made our lives so easy . We experienced the Covid 19 virus outbreak quarantine during this time and Pennee and Bill agreed to stay a month longer at our home . They were extremely flexible with their travel plans so that everyone would be safe. Upon our arrival home, we were greeted with a bouquet of flowers , beautiful hanging basket of flowers for outdoors and a beautiful bottle of wine . And our house had never been cleaner ! Bill and Pennee are a pet owners dream couple !I felt extremely lucky to have found such a great petsitter and new friend . We will be visiting each other in the future .
