I would love the chance to get to know your pets!
Maureen just looked after our two boys (cats) and home for six weeks. It was wonderful that she came a day early so they could get used to her and we could do a proper handover (and also got to chat about her amazing travel stories!) We got regular updates and pics, she navigated a plumbing issue during her stay, and we came home to fresh eggs and milk in the fridge!

Let me "overly love" your pets and give you peace of mind while you travel.
The boys adore Angela and this time they were as happy as always to have her around. Everything was great as usual during her sit and we look forward to having her back again this November :-)

KY-based traveling solo or +1
Lucy, Latisa, Grace and Katrina were phenomenal house and pet sitters. I cannot say enough great things about them. First and foremost they took great care of our pets. I received regular updates which always makes a pet owner happy. Our house was treated like their own. They left the house with clean sheets on all the beds which was so appreciated and the house was very clean. It is always great to come home without having to do laundry. They even left us a wonderful thank you card with a special treat. They are welcome back anytime. I can tell they are genuinely nice and caring people.

Responsible and dependable
Deanna was an incredible house and petsitter. She was extremely thoughtful and responsible, and she went out of her way to help us get on our way and enjoy a worry-free trip. She was very gracious about our requests and the house looked sparkly clean when we arrived home. The dogs seemed to love her and we know she showed them a lot of care and attention. We're so grateful to have met her and hope Deanna stays with us again!

Pets are family too!
Mary Ellen is an excellent house sitter! She was very easy to communicate and coordinate with and accommodated our crazy travel schedule. She took great care of Tabby and took her on some fun hikes! She left our home clean and tidy. I would not hesitate to have her back!

A traveler with a background in agriculture and a long history of housesitting.
Sophia is hugely experienced with animals of all shapes and sizes and was not fazed by the number we have. We cant tell you what a pleasure it was to go away and leave them all in such safe hands. We returned home to an immaculate house and very happy animals- Willow is missing her already! Sophia was absolutely delightful- a real joy to be around and we cannot recommend her enough. "Merci" Sophia:)

Lori and Patrick, a mature, responsible, clean, honest, pet-loving couple.
Lori flew from Kentucky to Cambridge, MA for our sit. We were able to work out all the details beforehand so we both felt comfortable. The sit was fantastic. Lori is a great communicator, very neat and loves dogs!!!! She took great care of Scout and Dottie and sent me pictures and upates. She left the house very clean and was so considerate. I would highly recommend Lori to anyone who wants a terrific sitter. Five stars all the way!!!

Experienced house sitter looking to bring you ease and comfort for your pets!
An absolute in life: If you are needing a pet sitter, grab any opportunity in front of you to have Harrison and Destinee sit for your furbabies. Unfortunately, Harrison is having to rebuild his profile after a split with his ex (where she kept their many reviews from the account), so he may get overlooked currently. In fact, I would have probably overlooked him myself except that the gal who left his first review (Kassia) actually pet-sit our dogs just a few months prior in December and she couldn't say enough great things about Harrison. Boy, am I thankful for her recommendation. They were God-sent gifts for me and my partner when it came to our dogs (who are our children). From the onset, the communication was absolutely spot-on. Very personable, willing to drive 30 mins for a meet-and-greet right away (if needed), and awesome attention to detail (that, later, I would see would carry over into every aspect of the actual sit.) I mean...where do I start?! My dog Molly is a bit high-maintenance when it comes to eating and he tried all the different tricks each and every meal with her, where she ate probably 90% of her meals....a feat! I appreciated his detailed updates on her eating behaviors. Our neighbors commented on how great H & D played with our dogs in the yard to the point that they even might want to use them one day, if interested. They brought in packages, mail, and my partner's pre-packaged meals that were delivered on one of the days. Hugely responsible! We received incredible photos of our furbabies during the days we were away and upon coming home, even had a few printed photos for us that were awesome captures! Finally...I must mention some stress that my partner and I had at the end of our trip to Tahoe. Delta delayed one of our flights and it took me TWO days to get home and my partner, 3 days! Through all of it, Harrison assured us that we had no worries and he would stay as long as it took us to get home. Absolutely incredible experience on every single level. House was spotless. Molly and Kili, our dogs, were so loved and cared for. Can't ask for any more! Book him and Destinee immediately. Don't give it a second thought. No one else can hold a candle to him, I fear, when I have to find another sitter in the near future!

Retired couple/loves furry friends/non-smokers
Beth and Brian are such wonderful people and sitters. We would have them back in a heartbeat. They took great care of Ramona and our house. Everything was cleaner than we left it and they were good communicators before, during, and after the sit.

Travel and pets--what more is needed
Tracy was a great! She was communicative ahead of time, during the stay, and left the house and pets well taken care of.
Toby and Chloe were amazing pet sitters. It wasn’t the easiest sit - a nervous dog and 3 cats with various ailments and medication to have, but they took it all in their stride and cared for them so well without any issues. Our nervous dog Zelda warmed to them in just 2 days which is a record for house sitters so far! I also really enjoyed getting to know them over dinner the night before I left, they’re very easygoing and positive people. They also left the house spotless for when I came back. I would love to have them sit for us again. You can rest assured your house and animals are in safe hands with this lovely pair!
Kristi was an absolutely incredible sitter -- I think our favorite one ever! She was easy to communicate with, kind and personable, and took great care of our pets and our house. It was the first time we had left both our dog and our cat with a TH sitter and Kristi went above and beyond. She was very self-sufficient but provided fun updates and pictures and our pets loved her. Highly recommend!
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
We were so pleased to meet John and Trisha! We had them come in a day before we left and enjoyed a nice meal with them and they got to meet Delilah (even if she didn’t seem interested) but she soon warmed up to them - except for the Cat Videos - she wasn’t very interested 🤣 When we returned our home was so clean (probably cleaner than we left it)! We got frequent pics and updates on our Princess! They also left us with a Progress Report with Delilah’s activities and what they did at the house before they left. We would highly recommend John & Trisha if you are lucky enough to have them apply for a House Sitters job! Bill, Kathy & Delilah 🐈⬛❤️
Amanda is truly our trusted sitter "find"! She comes back regularly, so much so that our kitties think she is their secondary owner! Always reliable, clean, responsible and most of all loves our cats as much as we do! Good communicator, self reliant - all in all a perfect "10"!
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.
Caroline is an amazing sitter ! We were far away, had never left our cat for such a long period of time and we felt really confident with her. She took great care of our cat Honey as well as she did for the house, pool and garden. She was even able to handle the end of the refection of the bathroom which was a last minute surprise… We felt Caroline was reliable and self sufficient. We had a great communication with her during our stay abroad. We even found many nice intentions when we came back from our vacations such as fresh fruits and bakeries for a nice and welcomed breakfast after a night in a plane ! We definitely recommend Caroline for your sittings and we will obviously call her back !
Danny and Jo did a great job caring for our 3 cats and fish AND lots of plants (and home of course) while we were out of town for 3 weeks. We came back to a very clean house, sheets, and towels all clean and folded and fresh sheets on the bed they were using. The plants were all alive too, which is a first for us (again, we have a lot of plants!). The cats were happy to see us and they were all accounted for (a past sitter lost a cat for a week - they escaped outside as a non-outside cat). Everything was in its place and looked great. We received regular updates (via text) with photos of the cats lounging about which was important for us. Danny asked good questions when they visited us before the sit, and when reviewing our pet/house sitting instructions. The only thing we noticed that was different was that our 2 young cats were a little lighter (not necessarily a bad thing) but we understand that being gone for that length of time can be stressful on our furry family, which almost always affects their eating habits. All in all, we would definitely have them again!
If Cung ever applies to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the offer. You will not be disappointed. Cung is among the top (if not the top) sitter I’ve ever had and I’ve been on this site for years. Primarily, Cung is very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Cung kept me abreast of his 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 him through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Cung really cares. When he got to my apartment after what I assume was a long day of traveling, I explained the care instructions and he was 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 Cung followed those exactly. Third, Cung makes 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 within an hour of me being away - very fast for my cat as he is shy. Cung must have a calming energy towards animals. Cung was also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 5 minutes. I really appreciated that. My cat threw up at one point and Cung answered all of my questions to assess whether my cat was sick or had just eaten too fast. Fourth, Cung will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The sheets were washed and folded on my bed. 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. Cung also respects your property. I have an extensive computer setup that he used for work and he was very respectful of that equipment. He asked if he could use it beforehand, which was incredibly polite since he could have used it and I wouldn’t have known. In sum. You need to jump at the opportunity if Cung offers to sit for you. I came home to a very happy cat. Hope he will sit for me again sometime!
Tonya was great and filled in after our other sitter had to cancel. She was very self sufficient and navigated acclimating herself to everything since she arrived after we left. She gave thoughtful updates on my cat and I could tell she really enjoyed her, so that means the world to me! She left the place immaculate and we will certainly have Tonya back!
