Mother + daughter duo adventuring splendidly together and solo.
Stephanie and Shelby were an absolute dream come true. Caring, kind, and their communication was terrific. It was clear our dogs absolutely love them. We got lots of cute photos from them on walks and at the dog park. They both were so caring for our house and left it in a beautifully clean state for our return. We can’t recommend Stephanie and Shelby enough and hope they will return when they’re in Santa Fe. They are such great people.

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.

Responsible, energetic couple love meeting new pets and new people.
Lizzie and Erik were fantastic cat and house sitters. I totally recommend them. They stayed at my house for a month while I was overseas, and we communicated by WhatsApp nearly every day. The house was also very clean when I returned. They are both very friendly and professional, and the cats gave them two thumbs up!

I'll happily hold down the fort while you're away.
Tom and Kathleen were perfect sitters! They took great care of our house and two dogs, kept us informed, communicated clearly, and kept everybody calm and walked.

Tammi is an excellent sitter. She was responsive and shared many updates. We came home to a clean home and very happy pooch. I would recommend Tammi with the most confidence.

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!
Seàn was an amazing pet and house sitter! He was super communicative and took amazing care of my dog Nala and cat Bruce. They were happy and loved while I was away- I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for the two little fur babies! He sent great pictures and checked in every day so I had nothing to worry about. On top of all that, he also kept my place immaculately clean and left my place in wonderful shape. We can’t wait to have him back to sit and I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone looking for a sitter!
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!
Nia is a wonderful sitter - punctual, considerate, caring, and tidy, and also a lovely person, who I enjoyed spending time with before and after the sit. While I was away Nia sent photos and videos of my cats Tommy and Arthur every day, with witty updates and observations on their personalities and behaviours, and it was obvious that they adored her. Arthur has a mild neurological problem, so it was particularly reassuring to know that Nia feels especially connected to animals with specific physical or emotional needs, and knowing this contributed hugely to my peace of mind while I was away. I have no hesitation in recommending Nia as a sitter.
Young was the perfect house sitter for us. From the moment you meet her, you can tell she is animal person and is detailed oriented and will take great care of your house and pets. She exudes a peaceful and grounded energy. She was comfortable with each our pets from the high energy dog to the shy skittish cat. She played with the dog in the yard every day and took him on walks. And she was also very attentive to our cats and figured out how to maintain the equilibrium in the relationship between the cats and dog. She is an excellent communicator; she asked questions when our directions weren't clear and kept us updated on the pets. She is also an amazing photographer. She sent us pics of our pets every day that totally captured each of their personalities.
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!
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.
My partner and I left our cat Mango in Lindsey's care for a month so that we could get married. We were going from FL to ME, so it was a long way from home. We were gone for a month. Picking the right houses sitter was important. We are so glad we picked Lindsey (and she picked us). From before Lindsey got on her plan to fly down, until she was back home again Lindsey was communicative, considerate and positive. We felt like we had a family member staying at our place and because of who she is, Mango and our home's well being was a weight off our mind during the wedding. If the need arises in the future we will definitely be giving her the right of first refusal. Thank you so much Lindsey!
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!
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.
