Experienced and caring sitter
John was a fabulous pet sitter! He was an excellent communicator and came by the apartment in person to meet Biggie (my foster cat) and to learn Biggie's routine. John was great about communicating during his petsit, and sent photos of Biggie. Best of all, when I got home Biggie (who is an anxious kitty) was super calm and happy. Highly recommend!

Friendly and responsible house/pet sitter so you can relax while you are away!
Milan was a gift, I was traveling for family illness and she was so flexible on dates. I didn't have to worry about my home being cared for or Dave getting an awesome cuddle buddy!!

Happy pet-lover!!!
Janet is fantastic!! She sent regular (almost daily) pictures and feedback on how things were going. I could tell she really was devoted to my ‘girls’ Emmy and Kiki. Emmy can be a bit ‘standoffish’ to new people but I could tell Janet took her time and they ended up being great buddies. Kiki was equally loved and both seemed so healthy and happy when I got home. Also my house was immaculate! All around I couldn’t have had a better person. I look forward to her staying with my girls again.

Gallivanting Grandma to sit for your home/pet with professionalism and care
Debbie (Diamond) is a very self sufficient and capable lady. She let me know as soon as my pup seemed to have an issue and monitored the situation for me. Thankfully a vet wasn’t needed in the end. The animals were all well when I got back home which is always my biggest fear when leaving them. Diamond arrived on the morning that I was leaving so we didn’t really get to know each other much but she seems to have fit in here in Barbados well and I am sure that she will be back!

Peace of mind is essential & I'm here to provide it, just check the reviews!
Tyler took excellent care of our two Boston Terriers with lots of walks, play time and even special outings. His Husky Lola was a good experience for our two girls as well. He sent us frequent updates with pictures and videos that made our day. We came home to a neat and tidy house and happy pups. Would definitely recommend Tyler for pet care.

Good with pets! And people!!!
Denae and Burl were fabulous house and pet sitters! They were amazing with our energetic and personality filled pup Lego and took great care of the house. They were incredibly communicative and sent lots of pics of our fur baby. We arrived back late at night after a long flight and they were so kind to even have prepared delicious food for us to have. Highly recommend and they would be welcome back to sit for Lego anytime!

Friendly, Responsible, Animal Lover Traveler and House Sitter based in Santa Fe
Leslie is a lovely person who comes with a big ball of young dog energy in Layla. Layla was a little overwhelming for my neurotic old chihuahua, but that's not Layla's fault. He's just a particular kinda guy and his routine was disturbed! We had a few small kinks to iron out as we got our sit underway but Leslie was always open to feedback and has made every effort to meet us where we're at.

The character of a country can be determined by the way it treats its animals.
Nurit and Mark took excellent care of our home and pets. They were very warm people and communicative. They left our home exceptionally clean, we’re very flexible with scheduling. We would welcome them back any time.

Mature, experienced, conscientious woman w/big heart to care for your loved ones
Candace was fabulous when there were some issues around wildfires close to our home. She is very open in communication and sent pics of the pups every day which we greatly appreciate! She was very clean and we came home to a clean house!
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!
I am struggling with naming our top adjective to describe Michael and Jeanne. "Conscientious" will likely be it but then again, "personable," "reliable," "organised," and "animal-loving" are top contenders. If you are reading this review and contemplating inviting this couple to watch your pets, then look no further. We have had a number of excellent house sitters but this pair was next level in terms of the love they showed our cats, Maxx and Nala. When we came back, we could our animals already missed them. These cats, who have never slept with anyone other than us, were getting in bed with them each night -- and that meant climbing stairs! The day before our trip, Nala got an ear infection and had to be put on steroids for asthma. Michael and Jeanne did not sign up for that when the sit was booked but they took it in stride. In the last-minute rush, I relayed that Nala needed her oral steroids morning and night. Michael read the RX label, indicating one dose a day, and contacted the vet to clarify. So you can see why "conscientious" is right up there. They saved Nala from an overdose! We were gone three weeks and they sent us just the right amount of pictures and videos. They bought cat toys (I forgot to put ours out!) and actively engaged with them, including 20-minute massages for Maxx. I truly believed them when they said they fell in love with our fur babies. The house was spotless (which was not important to me but truly appreciated) but I smiled when all six water stations in our yard were filled. They took seriously my love for and the needs of the wildlife in our yard. Our plants were all in good condition as well. Sensing they were "next level" when I met them, I predicted they would want to leave a meal for us upon our return. I asked them not to but they found another way to bow out with class. They made a donation to a nonprofit I work with instead. This I learned from the lovely thank you note they left. I hope they will consider Charles and I friends because we certainly feel that way about them now. What special people. If you book them, treat them well because they are going to do that for you for sure.
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.
Elisabeth was an excellent sitter for our cat. We were away for two weeks and received daily photos and notes from her about Catman's activities (i.e., sleeping and eating). She is definitely a cat lover and that was evident from our cat's calm behavior when we returned.
Quinn was an amazing sitter for my cat Moon! She regularly checked in with updates on moon while we were away on a two week vacation, and seemed to give her plenty of attention, play with her, etc. Communication was easy and she left our apartment spotless after departing. Highly recommend her as a pet sitter!
Catherine was wonderful! She took care of my cat and house while I was out of town and left and Jack the Cat very and calm and the house in perfect shape which I so appreciate. I could return home and attend to other things rather than cleaning house. I would recommend her as a sitter to anyone. She was easy to communicate with, provided updates and pics of Jack, willing to jump in and assist me as I left or returned. She has a sweet and warm personality and enjoys what she does with house sitting. Thank you Catherine!
Ruoyi was the perfect sitter for our cat Toni! We would highly recommend her to any pet owner, and hope she can sit for us again in the future. Ruoyi was very thorough - she made sure there was full alignment on all the specifics of her pet duties, and she asked thoughtful questions regarding details we forgot to include in our guide. She always provided us timely updates at the agreed cadence, and gave us a ton of photos. From the photos, it's clear she got in a lot of play time with Toni, which we really appreciated! :) We were able to enjoy our entire vacation stress-free knowing Toni was in such good hands. Ruoyi left our apartment completely clean and offered to wash linens.
Toby and Chloe were one of the best house sitters we have ever had! As a small animal vet I have seen many types of pet sitters and these guys are top notch. Our pets are not easy either. We have special needs dogs, cats on medication, dogs with behavioral issues, horses, chickens, goats and a large (100 lb) Sulcata tortoise who needed close monitoring of the temperature in his barn. Everyone was thriving and happy when we came home. They read through the packet and asked thorough, thoughtful questions. They went above and beyond grooming, mucking and grazing the horses and goats everyday. They chopped greens and fruit daily for our tortoise. If we had known how amazing they were we would have booked a 3 week trip instead! Can't recommend them enough.
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!
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!
