WE ARE THE RIGHT CARETAKERS FOR YOUR HOUSE AND PETS
Silvia and Leo were wonderful sitters! They took loving care of our dear Scout dog and sent us regular updates and photos of our happy pet. They also took exceptional care of our home! They may have left it more clean and tidy than we did before they arrived. We enjoyed the lovely care and note they left for us as well. We would certainly have them return for a sit and highly recommend them to others. Thank you, zeewoi!

Two Retired Educators who love Animals, Travel and the Outdoors!
This is the third time Phil and Kathy have house sat for us, and we already have them lined up for next summer. They left the house spotless. Our cats were very well taken care of. They sent us pictures and texts and responded to our texts and emails promptly. We highly recommend them!

Adventurous, responsible couple ready to provide TLC to your home and pets
Cameron and Cindy are experienced house sitters, pet parents and home owners and they brought all of that knowledge to our home and our kitties. We came home to happy cats, an impeccable house and everything exactly as we had hoped. With such reliable and resourceful house sitters we were able to be fully immersed in our travels knowing all was being cared for at home.

Retired, Active, and able to care for your pets.
Once again, Ron did a 5 star pet and house sitting stay for us. Unexpectedly our garage construction became delayed and the most inconvenient part, the framing, landed during Ron's stay. Ron was both gracious and understanding with the construction and the on-going noise it presented. Ron gave our four kitties loving care and took care of all house needs. We returned to happy cats and a clean house. We couldn't have asked for more, thank you Ron!

Coach by day. Hobbyist writer and lover of books by night.
Rochelle had great communication before and during her sit. I can not thank her enough for following all the rules and regulations and going above and beyond. We had a little hiccup with Rascal health two days (might of been one I can't remember) before Rochelle was scheduled to sit and she was able to accommodate and give Rascal his medication with no problem! She was flexible which is super important to us! I loved traveling and getting so many updates about Rascal and Charolette! Rascal and Charolette were safe and happy when we arrived home and I couldn't be more thankful! I would absolutely invite her back to stay.

Life-loving adventurer excited to love on your pets-cuddles appreciated! :)
Julie is such a wonderful pet sitter! We have been lucky enough to have her watch our pup twice now. Once for about 10 days and another for a week. Both times, she was very easy to talk with and coordinate. And she took very good care of our pup! He seemed so happy. She also left our home very clean and left a detailed note with updates. We hope she’ll watch our pup in the future!

Digital nomad, travel enthusiast and “Uncle Will” to all my friends pets.
Will is an absolutely superb house-sitter – extremely competent, responsible, and reliable. He cared for my home and my kitty for 11 days in September. From the moment he walked in the door for the initial interview, he began to establish a rapport with my cat that continued until my return home. She was so calm and content that I wondered if she even knew I was absent! Will communicated very well throughout his stay and sent several texts and pictures of my cat during that time. He was attentive with various instructions regarding care of the house and the cat. Upon my return, I found my house cleaner than when I left it and was especially happy to discover a freshly made bed for my first night home. Will is a charming and friendly person and both my kitty and I are looking forward to having him return for a longer stay in the near future.

Active Sitter
One question we had: Will our pets want us back when we return?? Olivia was tremendous. When our original sitter had to tend to her sick mother, Olivia stepped in and was read to help. She kept communicating us with minor problems and solved them all like a champ (the fire alarms went off for no reason - she handled it.). She has our highest recommendation!
Julia was an amazing sitter and we couldn't be happier with our experience! From our first contact to when we arrived home after our trip, communication was excellent and we were able to enjoy our time away with complete peace of mind that our pets and our home were in good hands. We particularly appreciated how clean and tidy everything was when we got home with the linens and towels all washed and dried! Our cats clearly didn't miss us a bit - they were relaxed, their coats brushed and were giving us side-eye "oh, so, back to normal then? " looks as we unpacked. Thanks for everything Julia!
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!
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!
Windy & Dustin are some of my top go-tos! They are wonderful sitters who I can trust to take care of my cats and goats and love them like their own! They are so respectful of my house and are always flexible with me when plans change last minute.
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!
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 !
Amazing sitters - I feel so fortunate to have had them stay. Chapeau was treated to daily walks and belly rubs, and my cat Tica was overflowing with contentment from having been taken care of so well. The house was cleaner than I left it and I was treated to a nice note and a lovely candle upon my return. Also, they left a checklist of item that they had done while here. Truly above and beyond!
Heidi was an outstanding cat sitter for my Luna! She was very communicable via calls or texts. She followed all my guidelines for feeding and care of Luna. Luna was very content when I arrived home thanks to Heidi! My home was immaculate when I arrived and she did some snow shoveling. She even pulled a large broken tree branch off my roof following a windstorm. I hope Heidi is available for my next trip because she is awesome. Jim
Karen was an extraordinary house and pet sitter who I hope to invite back again soon. You would be extremely fortunate to have her take care of your pets and home. From the very beginning she radiated calmness, knowledge, caring and curiosity. We had a great initial conversation where Karen answered questions I didn't even know I should be asking, and asked excellent questions so she could be prepared and understand the special needs for both my cat and home. She flew into my city the day before I was leaving and stayed at a nearby hostel so that we could meet in person and do a walk through of my home. They say pets have an intuitive nature about people, and I knew Karen would be a winner when my normally very shy/nervous cat came right up and let her pet him. Karen sent wonderful pictures and updates while I was gone and asked questions when she wasn't sure about something. When I returned home everything was spotless and my cat was content. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better house sitter experience. Thank you Karen!
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!
