When Sharon and Al expressed interest in pet sitting for us we carefully considered previous reviews. One comment resonated for us - if Sharon and Al apply to sit for you then snap them up quickly as you won’t do better. We are very pleased to confirm that this was exactly the case for us. We came home from a 6 week holiday in Europe to find an immaculate house and yard and more importantly a very happy dog. Al even cooked a brilliant lamb Rogan Josh dinner and they baked us a delicious cake. We left our second car for them to use and Al had detailed it for us and returned it with a full tank of fuel. We have nothing but praise for Sharon for Al and consider that we have now made new friends. Sharon and Al are our best house sitters we have experienced.

We were incredibly fortunate to have Christine as our house sitter. From the moment of booking through to the end of her stay, she was communicative and responsive, which was especially reassuring given she traveled all the way from New Zealand to watch our cat, Buck. Christine provided adorable and reassuring updates throughout her stay, which kept us at ease while we were away. She was incredibly self-sufficient and took excellent care of both our house and Buck. Our cat looked great and was incredibly happy after his time with Christine, which is the most important part for us! We couldn't have asked for a better house sitter and we hope to have her back again in the future. Thank you, Christine, for your exceptional care and dedication! You are a joy to talk with!

We were absolutely delighted to meet and have Del and Christopher care for Izzy, the fish and our home whilst we were away. They stayed in touch. Our home was exactly as it was when we left and most importantly our Izzy was happy and not stressed when we arrived home. I’d have these guys back in a heartbeat! Thank you again

This was a first time for me and Max and I am so happy that we were fortunate enough to have Edward and Anne to look after Max and my home. They exceeded my expectations, and looked after Max so well. He went to the beach daily, plus the dog park and had numerous walks. Edward and Anne were aware that I have had difficulty restraining Max if he sees a bush turkey, whilst we are walking. Their videos clearly show Max on lead and close to bush turkeys, being guided by Edward to remain calm and not attempt to chase them. This is a great help to me, plus the beach adventures and his obvious pleasure at running into the waves has encouraged me to keep this activity up. So life and exercise for Max, and me has extended beyond the dog park. Their videos of the beach trips showed Max also had a hose down at home, and a towelling dry, Max was never keen on a hose down but he doesn't mind now. In addition to all this Max was also exposed to visiting the local shops, and dealing with bikes and scooters , again he reacted well, obviously feeling safe in Edward and Anne's company. I returned home to a very happy Max and a spotless home and garden. We were blessed to have such a wonderful couple, I hope we will be fortunate enough to have Edward and Anne here again. Thank you both, I was able to enjoy my holiday and Max had the best time as well. He was loved and cared for with plenty of pats and cuddles .

Federico and Flor were the most amazing pet/house sitters going above and beyond all expectations in caring for my Greyhound and looking after my home and garden. They left the house in excellent cleanliness and kept me updated on what was happening so I could relax and enjoy my time off. I highly recommend this beautiful couple to others.

This was the third time Andrea has house sat for us. She is great with dogs, very clean and responsive. We had an early hiccup with a needy dog and she was very responsive and understanding which meant smooth sailing for the remainder of the sit.

Jessie took really great care of our 3 cats. They seemed very relaxed and at ease when we returned home (normally they’re more anxious and skittish). She also occasionally sent photos and updates which was always really nice to receive. It seems there was some good cuddling had :)

Eileen looked after our cat Sandy and hamster Coco while we were away for 2 months this summer visiting Canada. She was attentive and affectionate with our pets and careful to maintain all of our pet-care routines. Unfortunately, Coco, our senior hamster, passed away while we were gone. Eileen was very upset and worried, but I reassured her that it as nothing she had done and we mutually helped each other manage the situation. am sorry about that. Thank you Eileen for your kindness🙏. With regards to Sandy's care, Eileen spent a lot of time at home, which was great for Sandy, a very social and sensitive "people cat". We were kept up-to-date via frequent photos and messages, and I felt both Sandy and the house were well cared for. When we arrived home, everything was washed and there was a bit of food in the fridge, plus a gift for my son. Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Eileen. I am very lucky to have met you and to have our pets so very well-taken care of. All the best to you, we hope our paths cross again!

Cynthia was a perfect pet sitter for our little kitty. We knew from her extensive experience with cats that Nala was in good hands. She was extremely responsive via texts when we were away, ensuring us that the 2 of them were having a great time. She went absolutely above and beyond by scrubbing our bath and toilets to remove our mineral deposit rings that we haven't been able to get rid of! She even left the name of the product she used so we can get more in the future. The house was cleaner than when we left. We'll have her back anytime!

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!

Kerry and Megan were wonderful sitters and took great care of our two cats while we were on vacation for two weeks. They were responsive, gave us regular updates, and seemed to really care about Tumba and Cappa. When Tumba was more timid toward the beginning of our trip and not eating her meals fully, Kerry was sure to ask for additional suggestions from us on how to coax her to eat more.

Kerry and Megan also left the house just as we'd left it for them. We really appreciated them going the extra mile to ask about additional cleaning products so they could clean our bathrooms. It felt great to come home and just relax without needing to remake the bed.

Thanks for everything, Kerry and Megan! We would certainly entrust our home and kitties to you again in the future.

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!

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.

Hannah and Joseph were brilliant sitters - totally reliable and trustworthy. Quick to respond to queries and their past experience with dog/ housesitting was very apparent. Our 2 dogs and 1 cat were well looked after and the house was spotless on our return. We are totally happy to recommend them.

My husband and I are so grateful for Cendy staying with our ~1yr old cat for nearly a full month. We were nervous to leave her for so long but Cendy had Wilma literally eating out of the palm of his hand and snuggling with him in no time. Cendy was incredibly communicative with us and attentive to Wilma consistently for the entire duration of the sit which was such a relief and gave us the piece-of-mind needed to fully enjoy our trip. We returned back to an impeccably clean apartment and a very content kitty. For the first few days back Wilma was definitely looking around for Cendy, missing her buddy. We (and Wilma!) would welcome Cendy back any time, especially for a longer stay knowing how responsible of a sitter he was. Couldn't recommend enough!

Florence was a great sitter for my cat Lily. I booked her a bit last minute, as a previous sitter had to cancel, but was very happy to have her. She was reliable, prompt to respond, and sent picture updates daily at my request. Judging by the pics, Lily warmed up to her nicely and they spent some lounging time together - which is high praise from a cat! Would recommend Florence for your next sit.

Jinnie was an excellent house sitter for me and my cat Felix.  Completely responsible and reliable and helpfully flexible.  She was willing to work with me as I dithered on whether I was actually going to go on my trip (which was dependent on good weather), and when I finally decided on making my trip one day shorter.  House was clean and organized on my return, and, more importantly, my cat was calm and relaxed on my return.  I would happily have Jinnie come sit for me and Felix 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!
