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!

It was so wonderful having Madolline come care for our kitty boy Sushi and our apartment while we were away overseas. She was communicative, responsible, kind, and ever so loving towards our boy! Would 100% recommend.

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

Julie took care of my cat for almost 10 days. I managed to also meet her in person the last day. Julie is a kind, funny and tidy person, who took great care of my cat and my home. She sent me pictures and updates without me needing to ask. I am very thankful for her and would recommend Julie to anyone who needs a petsitter.

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.

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!

Pares is an experienced and quality sitter and we knew our cat Juniper (and a few plants) was well cared for. We received regular updates and photos which was really nice to have during our travels. While we missed Juniper, we could see that she enjoyed receiving cuddles and attention from Pares. Upon returning home, our flat was clean and tidy, and Juniper was very happy! Thank you for taking care of her!

strongly recommend Christine and Phil to housesit for your kitty. Our pets, Babbles and Cousin Eddy, and property, were in very good hands while we where away for two weeks. They had a fair amount entailed with two cats on different food and needs. Cousin Eddy, or Edoardo, is a barn cat we recently adopted. Eddy is very sweet and stays outside but hangs out the side door wanting to be petted and fed; Bubbles is an indoor cat. Both cats were spoiled by Christine and Phil! Christine and Phil were also very caring and attentive with the needs of our Airbnb guests. During the time we were away they kept us updated daily (including photos of the cats). When we came home, our house was perfect, with lovely fresh flowers, notes for us, and our cats had been well-cared-for. They are wonderful house sitters, and we highly recommend them. They were Five-star sitters of our house and cats!

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. ⭐

Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!

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!

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.

My husband and I reached out to Toby & Chloe after reading their profile and impressive reviews only a week before our trip, since our scheduled sitter had to cancel at the last moment.  They were very friendly and quick to respond to chat from the very beginning, and ended up exceeding our expectations during their two week stay.  It was evident they had thoroughly read our Welcome Guide beforehand, as they arrived knowledgeable and prepared to care for our home and pets.  They were very willing and happy to take the necessary time with us to walk through the house and meet our cats, as we got them acclimated with our daily routines and answered any questions.  Shortly after we left, our city had a heat wave come through, and after immediately notifying us, Toby went beyond the call of duty and inspected our struggling AC unit to pinpoint the issue.  As far as cat care is concerned, we have two seniors (who have more sensitive tummies) that can get irritated after a fur ball or swallowing anything out of the ordinary.  When this occurred, Toby & Chloe stepped in and took wonderful care of our cat duo; softening their food and even cradling while hand-feeding them for extra comfort.  We truly could not have asked for more affectionate and responsible sitters.  We returned to a spotlessly clean home, happy cats, and well maintained plants and pool.  (They even cleaned our dusty Kitchen pendant lighting, which requires a steady hand and is definitely a time-commitment …We felt like professional housecleaners had been there!)  On our way back, Toby & Chloe stayed in communication with us to monitor our arrival time, allowing them to care for our cats until just before we got home.  Overall, they are very reliable and trustworthy sitters whose genuine goal is to provide a top-quality sit, while maintaining your household and seamlessly transitioning to your pets daily schedule.

Cat and Paul sat for me in December and kept a watchful eye on my trusty sidekick Jake. All I can say is my gosh what a great job they did giving Jake a lot of TLC. He obviously missed them since he wandered around our home looking for them after their departure. My home was left in the exact same condition and they did a great job of communicating with me during my trip, letting me know exactly how Jake was getting along.

I can't thank them enough for taking great care of my home and showing Jake a great time. I hope that during the coming year they will volunteer to do another sit for me. If you need any other specifics about how awesome a sitter Cat is please feel free to call or email me and I will be more than happy to give you more details.

Hope you have an opportunity in the future to use them as house and pet sitters!

Regards!

Edward
