Thank you, Carolyn and Mike. They did a fantastic job of looking after our two cats. (Sent us photos of one of our cats who doesn't let anyone but us touch him - being patted!) Carolyn and Mike were extremely easy to communicate with from the beginning. They looked after our home beautifully and even changed the sheets on their bed before they left. I highly recommend them, and you would be lucky to have them as your house sitters.

Louise looked after Loki, Rex and Colin over my holiday and she was relaxed, confident and was excited about being in my house with them, which made me feel confident about going away. When I came back the house was immaculate. I

Where to start...? These two are not only the perfect pet- and housesitters, they are in addition wonderful interesting positive open-minded people. From the beginning the communication was great, we had a nice first video-talk and they arrived on time at our house where they were immediately seized by Ida and Moody to throw their ball. They loved them from the first moment. And from the first moment we felt a good vibe. As experienced housesitters they did not need a lot of explanations and we trusted them they will find the pots and the forks in the kitchen without big explanations ;)) When we left to leave them for one week in our house with our lovely soulmates Ida and Moody we had a good feeling that did not disappoint. They sent us pictures of the walks they did every day, pictures of their cuddlings, kept us informed while we were very busy on our business trip. All of this was very reassuring! The evening we came back home Corban had cooked a delicious new-zealand stew and we had a lovely talk surrounded by the dogs that felt so obviously comfortable with them! The house was clean and the plants did look great and we could immediately see that everything was treated with the utmost respect! So if you have the chance to invite Taylor and Corban as your housesitters...grab them!

Matt and Asia were simply perfect for us. They communicated well prior to the stay and turned up when planned. They had quite a few farm jobs including moving the sheep and checking the pig trap which they took in their stride. Asia had lots of farm experience and was confident with all tasks given. They also cooked us a lovely meal and were great company for us and the kids. I recommend them to any future hosts!

Lynn and Phil were fantastic pet and house sitters. The communication prior to the sit was easy and Kynn let us know their arrival and departure plans well in advance. They were very self-sufficient and we came home to a happy cat and clean and tidy house. They had also ensured our plants were watered and we came home to a beautiful bunch of flowers. I’d highly recommend them and would definitely have them back.

Dee came round to my home well before the sit, so we could all meet prior. When she came round for the sit, the dogs were really pleased to see her which was a great sign. Dee communicated really clearly, was on time and was very clean and tidy. And sent me msgs while I was away I felt very confident having her look after the animals and house.

Annalou and Harry took great care of Oban. They looked after him for 8 days and we cam back to a clean and tidy house. We would have liked a few more updates but that hasn't taken away from the care they showed Oban and would certainly have pet sit again. House was clean and tidy when we got home.

6 stars out of 5!!! 🌟 John and Jan are the perfect housesitters. I was nervous leaving our dog with strangers as it's been a long time since we had been away and he is a sensitive pooch but John and Jan were receptive and empathetic from start to finish. They looked after the house and gardens as if it were their own and we returned to healthy animals, an immaculate home and garden and a fresh healthy and nutritious meal for us when we returned. Which, after a 32 hour journey from Europe was more than appreciated. Honestly cannot recommend John and Jan highly enough. Massive thank you to them both 🥰

Cynthia was a perfect pet sitter for our little kitty. We knew from her extensive experience with cats that Nala was in good hands. She was extremely responsive via texts when we were away, ensuring us that the 2 of them were having a great time. She went absolutely above and beyond by scrubbing our bath and toilets to remove our mineral deposit rings that we haven't been able to get rid of! She even left the name of the product she used so we can get more in the future. The house was cleaner than when we left. We'll have her back anytime!

"A relaxing and long time away from home made possible by the best pet & house sitters we could have asked for!"

Judy and Steph went the extra mile over their entire one month stay at our home. Both our cats became fast friends thanks to the care and dedication provided for them. We were routinely updated with spectacular photos of our furry girls throughout our leave that helped us be anxiety-free the entire time. Even our older shy cat spent time sleeping on their laps or hanging out on shoulders.

As for the house, Judy and Steph left it even cleaner than when they arrived! We had a few tasks to maintain the lawn and potted plants outside, which were completed perfectly. They even tended to our vegetable garden where needed! During a 'risk of severe hail storm' alert, Judy and Steph kept us in the loop and went even further to place potted plants under shelter out of harms way.

In summary, we recommend Judy and Steph and would happily have them return again if our schedules cross paths.

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.

Kimberly was a wonderful sitter who watched our two cats for us while we were out. She was willing to come a day early to help acclimate herself with the animals, and this was exceedingly helpful in making sure the cats would be comfortable with her during our absence. I would highly recommend Kimberly if you're looking for a responsible, caring sitter.

Wow!  Just wow!  We cannot say enough about the care and compassion Trisha and John provided to our cats and our home.  We are always somewhat nervous about a new pet sitter in our home, but that all faded when we met this wonderful couple.  They provided daily updates as requested, complete with pictures, videos and personalized captions.  Upon our return, we were greeted by happy and content kitties.  There was no sign of anxiety in Tika!  Yea!!!  Our home was clean, the sheets and towels were washed and bed remade!  They even left behind thank you notes and little gifts!  What a breath of fresh air these two individuals are!  We hope to have them back again soon.

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.

Karen was able to step in a sit for me on short notice after another sitter canceled. She was very thorough and communicative and I felt I had left my apartment and cats in good hands with her. I came home to a clean apartment and happy cats. I definitely recommend Karen as a sitter.

Heidi was an outstanding cat sitter for my Luna!  She was very communicable via calls or texts.  She followed all my guidelines for feeding and care of Luna.  Luna was very content when I arrived home thanks to Heidi!  My home was immaculate when I arrived and she did some snow shoveling.  She even pulled a large broken tree branch off my roof following a windstorm.  I hope Heidi is available for my next trip because she is awesome.

Kristine was wonderful again as our local sitter from just down the street. 
The boys take to her like she is their best friend whenever she comes to sit with them. She sent us photos of them playing, relaxing, drinking water and eating so we knew they were well taken care of. 
The house and the cats were in excellent shape and excellent hands while we were away. It is wonderful that she enjoys the house and the cats so much and tells us so.
Kristine comes with our highest recommendation!
Thank you Kristine!

Super nice sitters and extremely flexible. Really enjoyed their company and I only regret that I was too frazzled to chat with them more and get to know them!
Kept the house super clean, pets loved them. Dog especially.
Had a little problem with my new kitten not meshing well with the older cats (which was not too surprising since cats can be territorial). Pennee was very patient and gave me constant updates and tips. And the older cat was much more calm when I came home. Highly recommend and welcome back anytime!
