Experienced House Sitters: Reliable Care for Your Home & Pets
Megan was fantastic! She and Abby gave us updates with pictures. I knew Humphrey and Peanut were in excellent hands. I hate to give them fantastic review for fear they will get booked up! You will be fortunate to have them sit in your home. House was cleaner than we had left it. Wonderful, wonderful sitters!!

Nina was an amazing house-sitter! Our fur babies were well taken care of, we got updates, and house was cleaner than we left it upon our return. Excellent communication and very easy to talk to. Thank you for working with our date changes too, wish you all the best!

Pet lovers ready to love your pet!
Susie and Scott were great petsitters! They have a clear love for dogs and kept them happy with attention and exercise. They tended to our garden and left our house tidy and clean. Susie and Scott were responsive and acted swiftly to correct a miscommunication at the start of the sit. We would definitely recommend them!

A mature couple you can trust with your prized possessions while you're away.
Thom and Janice house and pet sat for us over the memorial day weekend and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we met, we felt reassured by their professionalism, warmth, and obvious love for animals. Our home was well cared for, and thom and Janice went above and beyond by keeping everything tidy. We returned to a clean house, and it was clear that our home had been well looked after. Most importantly, our pets absolutely adored Tom and Janice. One of our dogs, Lucy, can’t get anxious when we leave. However, she immediately bonded with Janice and it made our departure so much less stressful. They kept us updated while we were gone, to ensure we knew everything was going well. We highly recommend thom and Janice to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring house and pet sitter. We will definitely be reaching out to them again for our future needs. Thank you, for taking such great care of our home and beloved pets! Sincerely Sheri and Steve

Would love to pamper your fur babies in Florida.
Celia was wonderful! My pup was taken out regularly and was obviously very fond of her sitter. The cats did wonderful and my house looked great when I returned. There was an issue with the lock on my front door, and she got it working, but was great about telling me about it so I can get it fixed. I highly recommend her.

Mature, Reliable, Nurturing Lover of Animals. Peace of mind for you & your pets.
Katherine did a great job! She arrived the prior night on time to ensure everything was ready and to hear any new information she needed to be aware of. She is very attentive, and the pets loved her. She sent me updates, to include photos of the pets. She also cleaned the bed sheets and left the house clean. Thanks Katherine!

I think having my three/3 dogs one of which is 10 months old was a bit overwhelming for Jamie, but she was a trooper and did a good job.

Karen is lovely person who helped us out over Christmas for a couple of days. Unfortunately she had covid so we had to do a non contact arrival and departure. I personally like to do in inperson hand over in the beginning, but there was nothing either party could do. She sent photos of the dogs and they looked happy as can be. Why we only gave her a 4 star rating is that our house smelled of distinct smokey odor. ( we are non smokers which states clearly in our welcome guide) It took over an hour to get the smell out by opening the doors. This really upset both my husband and myself. Agian she is a lovely person and talented as she left a wood carved ornament that she made which was appreciated. all the best Kathy
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.
Sharon and Milton are two of the nicest people I've met in my life. This is my first time having a sitter fly in from out of state and it was so simple, stress-free, and didn't affect any part of me getting ready for my trip, leaving for my trip or returning from my trip. Sharon was very communicative before, during and after I returned. It just couldn't have been more wonderful! If you're considering applicants stop looking and choose Sharon and Milton. They are just delightfully wonderful wonderful people!! They go above and beyond just housesitting and pet sitting! Tidy, clean, respectful down to earth and the most kind and loving people. I do believe Milton really is a cat whisper!! They slept with my sweet babies, and even followed silly grooming instruction on one of my cats. Would have them sit for me absolutely anytime.
After seeing the numerous positive reviews, I knew Cung would be an easygoing and professional cat sitter and house guest, and he was :-) Easy communication, prompt updates and clear concern for Boz & Artie's wellbeing, and pictures of cozying up on the couch together all made our time away secure and stress free. Upon returning home, the cats were chill and the apt was left spotless, as though he hadn't even been there.
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!
Nathalie and John were great! They were great house sitters to watch our two dogs, 2 geckos, our old cat and bull frog. Their two girls took good care of the animals as well. The house was exactly how we left it. We really appreciated their help!
Kathy and Ron arrived at our home with a most fantastical toy for our cats and a giant apple pie. Need I say more? They are very experienced sitters and brought personal items that they prefer. We knew we were leaving out cats in good hands. A large part of their 'job' was hand watering our garden and Ron took that in stride. Everything is thriving. Our cats are usually distant with new people but we received photos of them keeping Kathy and Ron company in various situations which was reassuring. They clearly won our cats over. Although Ron and Kathy had a ferry to catch on their last day, they took time to wash their linens and hang them on the clothesline. They also left us a gorgeous plant for our garden. We would very much like to have them back for a longer sit if possible.
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!
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.
Laura came across the country to sit for us. She arrived a day early and from the moment my pets met her our Lokie was smitten. We have one shy cat Luna and she was out and about on the first night. Laura kept us updated and shared her Adventures as well. We do live in a small hideaway of a town so seeing that she was able to enjoy herself was nice. We returned to a clean home, laundry done also, and very content pets. Lokie was sad for a few days as he missed his friend. We would recommend Laura as a sitter to anyone and would have her back again. 5 plus stars. ⭐
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.
