Don and Becky can’t be beat when it comes to entrusting someone to take care of your home and pets! I feel like they have become part of our family! There isn’t anything I can think of that this couple didn’t manage with excellence! We came home to a spotless home (including treats and flowers), happy dog and chickens. If you are fortunate to have them you will be the blessed one!!! Thank you so much Don and Becky, till next time!🥰

Experienced house and pet sitters! Love to travel, married 30 years, non smokers
Amy and Glen were fantastic pet sitters. We spoke ahead of time and several times before they arrived. I enjoyed showing them around our house and they asked excellent questions. We got sweet photos regularly of our furry crew. They even offered to take us to the airport! They kept our house neat and tidy and I would have them back anytime to stay and pet sit.

Ani was the perfect pup sitter. She had great communication, loved on my fur babies and made them feel safe, even stayed around an extra couple hours to be there with them during a storm.. the house was neat and tidy when I returned. Would definitely have ani come again!

Enthusiastic Pet Lover Excited to Care for Your Furry Family Members
If I could give Sapphire more than 5 stars, I would. She exceeded our expectations of a housesitter in every way, but in particular with her generosity, flexibility, and professionalism when faced with a big error on our part. Sapphire was an absolute pleasure from the beginning -- easy and fast to communicate with, and flexible with planning arrival and getting settled. In person, she was warm, immediately affectionate with our pup, and a quick study re: all the house things. She provided excellent pet care, walking our dog daily and sending daily photos of a clearly very relaxed and happy girl. All of that would've been enough -- but when we belatedly realized we'd listed the wrong return date, giving Sapphire only a few hours' notice we were arriving a day early, she absolutely rolled with it. Despite the short notice, we returned to an immaculate home cleaner than the one we'd left, with a happy and calm pup awaiting belly rubs. She'd even washed our towels! Unbelievable. After our error, Sapphire would've been well within her rights to be upset and certainly, to forget about cleaning up -- but instead, she was forgiving and understanding. We can only hope to be like her when faced with similar challenges. Overall, she is a great house/petsitter and an extremely lovely human. Wholeheartedly recommend!!

Adventurous, worldly wise, professional retired couple as your perfect sitters
I can't say enough about how great Conor and Robin were. I'm not sure I've ever seen both of my dogs warm up to people as quickly as they did Conor and Robin. Within the hour of their arrival both dogs were smitten. They were also very accommodating to my schedule and came in the night before I left since I had a very early flight the next day. Upon arriving home, the house looked even better than when I left it, sheets washed and beds made. They were very communicative with updates and pictures of the pups daily. I wouldn't hesitate to have them back in my home, the peace of mind I had while I was overseas was priceless.

A mature pet-lover that is dedicated to your pet and your home!
Frances was an ideal house-sitter and pet-sitter for our dog, Lolita, while my partner and I were away on vacation for nearly three weeks. We cannot recommend her enough! Frances was caring and attentive to Lolita's needs and immediately developed a relationship with her so that Lolita was comfortable and happy being around her. This was all the more important because our dog can be easily stimulated in New York's busy streets. But Frances adapted very quickly, and she knew just how to handle Lolita in a way that gave us full confidence and peace of mind. In addition, Frances was very responsive and reliable across all our communications. She regularly sent us pictures of our doggo, which helped make us feel less homesick. And she even dealt with things around the house which needed attention that we couldn't provide while we were away. All in all, Frances was an MVP pet-sitter that anyone would be lucky to have looking after their home.

Kind, nurturing, reliable animal lover; responsible, respectful house sitter!
My animals were very happy & well cared for by Joanna. Because I was on a remote adventure without cell service, she came ahead of time to meet & discuss her stay. She messaged me so that as soon as I was in service range again i was assured that all was well. The house was tidy for my return home. I hope to have her stay again, & highly recommend.

Responsible Animal Loving Doctor Will Love Your Pets As Her Own
I’m so grateful we had the opportunity to host Kyrin as our sitter. This is the longest I’ve ever left my three doodles and the most relaxed I’ve ever been while gone. Kyrin gave continuous updates with pictures and videos and it was so obvious that she cares for my pups SO much. This was a fantastic experience. On top of that, Kyrin is such an interesting and cool person, lucky to have spent some time with her. Don’t hesitate to book with Kyrin if you get the opportunity!
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.
Our review is written by Steven (house owner, host + my father) + also by Kim (the daughter). Written by Kim: This was our first house sit since the passing of my mother in late Dec 2023. I was helping my father Steven (whose profile it is) manage all the emails + try + find a great house sitter + came along Gretchen’s profile! Not only is she a cool cat + someone you might want to get to know, I found myself quickly talking to her. I shortly found out her profile is just a glimpse of how interesting she is but talking to her was so much better! She is a world traveler with many experiences + stories to share. We quickly became conversationalists who could talk forever + probably will continue to do so! Thank you TH! She is easy to communicate with + continued the consistent communication all along our journey of having her as our *first* guest after my mom’s passing. It was clearly a time filled with anxiety + sensitivity so there were some sensitive topics to go over + Gretchen got it right away. A few of our rooms in the house were off-limits (as they housed my mom’s things) but we reassured her the house has ample space for her to enjoy + there are many lovely outdoor spaces to boot! When she arrived she felt she was in paradise + really relished in the outdoor beauty + the indoor coziness. We were happy to share it with someone who appreciated it so much! She also was very understanding with the fact that both my dad + I would both be involved as we both handled different parts of the stay. Me, writing + setting up the Welcome Guide + would go over the situation but then upon her arrival my dad would take over + answer any questions mostly during her sit. The good part of having 2 people is she had accessibility to us both, in the case she needed it + sometimes it came up! She juggled all the communication oh so well. My mom usually handled most of the logistics so this being our first time we were nervous something would come up we might not know but it didn’t! It was new territory for us + we wanted to make sure she had everything. Gretchen handled it all with such ease, seamlessly, really respecting our wishes/desires + taking all the information into her hands + making it seem easy on her end to do so. She was easy to coordinate schedules with! There was a gap in her 1st + 2nd sit but everything went seamlessly even when my flight had a day long delay. She was able to coordinate schedules with me arriving in between, then leaving, my dad arriving different days + us extending the trip too. It all worked out! We were all a good team! She absolutely loved our older cat, Benny + he fast + furiously fell in love with her oh so easily. When I saw him, he looked oh so loved + after saying hi to me went over to ‘her’ bed + slept there waiting for her to come back. She sent many pictures, videos + even cute creations + toys she made for our Benny + it was obvious the house + our Benny were her first priority. She even asked us if she could help prune our flowers/shrubs, something my mom used to do + honestly it was an honor to hear her ask that. She was welcome to set up her art studio + play away. She was very communicative when our house cleaner, landscape gardener + house manager showered up for different reasons. When I arrived back for a short stint before she came back the 2nd time our mail was so well organized it was an assembly line! She also offered to take down our xmas tree (as we were a bit behind in taking down our xmas decorations) + she was sensitive to the fact that we were adjusting to a new normal. Thank you so much Gretchen! You made our first sit in a long time so seamless + such a relief that we are ready now to host again. We only wish we could have more Gretchen’s! (She’s also a super talented artist!) Written by Steven: Overall, Gretchen has been an absolute treasure. She has fulfilled our goals for a house sitter perfectly - she took good care of the house, great care of our treasured pet, Mr. Benny + took care of the grounds such as watering a few plants + trees. She excelled in all the above + is welcome back anytime I will be out of town in the future.
Ally was great! We got to meet for a few minutes before I headed out and I felt super reassured that both Goose and my home were in good hands. My cat is picky when it comes to strangers, but he was comfy in Ally’s lap right away the first night! She communicated well and sent cute pictures while I was away. My home was clean and Goose was happy when o got back. I highly recommend Ally as a sitter and she’s welcomed back anytime!
Susan and Miranda are amazing! I've had the pleasure of working with many sitters and they are truly exceptional. They were great at keeping in touch, sent lots of updates, asked good questions, really bonded with the cats, clearly very experienced working with animals and understanding their needs, and generally lovely to deal with. They were really patient putting up with a whole bunch of deliveries and even assembled a spare bed! They also left the place spotless with clean sheets on the bed. I'm pretty sure the cats loved Susan and Miranda more than us by the end of their stay! I'd highly recommend them to anyone and would love to have them stay again any time.
Lindsey was super communicative, friendly, responsible, and an excellent sitter for our two cats. When we returned, our home was clean and our cats relaxed and happy as if we had never left ! She sent us photos and updates every day, as requested, and when a random mishap occurred in the apartment, she let us know right away and was proactive in handling issue. We felt like both our cats and our home were in very caring, capable and respectful hands. Excellent! Thank you Lindsey!
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.
Denae and Burl were absolutely fabulous house/pet sitters for 4 weeks, Dec 2022- Jan 23. They are very friendly and intelligent, caring towards the animals (2 cats and 1 lively dog), and left our home clean and tidy. It all went very, very smoothly. It was a pleasure to deal with such nice people. We have invited them back whenever they want and hope the rest of their exploratory mission is a great success. I would be pleased to be contacted if anyone needs a further reference.
Anna was a wonderful sitter for our furry friends. My dog, Luke, bonded with her and was sad when she left. My cats would crawl under the covers and curl up with her at night. She is a true animal magnet and lover. I highly recommend Anna to anyone who wants their pets to recieve first class love while away.
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!
Greetings Pet People, I am a bit late leaving my review for Kristine who is local to us and has taken care of our kitties Max and Luis a few times this year. After COVID-19 was announced in March, our travel plans came to an abrupt halt. We had to cancel a lot of trips we had planned but decided that it was safe to go camping a couple of times this summer. We called on Kristine as one of our favorite sitters on this site. We discussed safety protocols and agreed to cleaning that we would do to leave the house safe for her to enter. She shared protocols that she had taken with other homeowners and had sound processes to make us feel safe leaving our cats and our home in her care. She even purchased batteries for our automatic cat feeder when it failed to let one of our confused kitties to eat. Kristine is a smart, humorous and a thoughtful person. I would not hesitate to recommend her for your sit. She truly loves animals and taking care of your home. Highly recommended! Thanks Kristine!
