Simply the best. We cannot praise her enough. Our dog Jack loved her and was clearly very content with his time spent with Helen. Helen arrived the night before we left for our holiday. We and Jack bonded very quickly with her. . She was so easy and cheerful. It was such a relief. It meant that we could go away knowing Jack would be fine and of course he was. Helen gives gold star care. She is an absolute treasure. Thank you Helen for loving and caring for Jack. We are deeply grateful.

Michael and Barbara were excellent house and cat sitters. They kept us informed about their journey to the UK, they were delightful to meet, they clearly cared for Olive, and they left the house clean and tidy.

We could not have asked for better house sitters. Elaine and Murry were amazing from the start. Nothing was to much trouble and they kept us regular updated with Chesters adventures with what’s app photos. The house was amazingly clean with some milk in the fridge and home made muffins awaiting our return. Would highly recommend and look forward to seeing them again.

Zoe was easy to deal with with no hassles at all. She sent photos of the dogs most days and when we arrived home, they were very happy and the house was very tidy. We highly recommend Zoe!

Tonya and Simon were really friendly and super helpful. They looked after our 16 year old fox terrier and home for 8 weeks. Tonya and Simon were extremely good at keeping in touch and it was obvious they had a lovely relationship with Tilly. Simon mowed the lawns regularly and kept us up to date with any maintenance issues. We were really happy with Tonya and Simon and highly recommend them as pet and home sitters.

Absolutely devastated. Please message me as I have all evidence. These people left my dog in a cage full of urine. They broke the house rules and just told me I could retrain my dog. They have literally stolen from us and refusing to pay any of their fines. As I said I have all evidence including videos from my ring door bell. I have all photos of how we came back to our dog and all text messages of now not paying the fines. They also broke our car keys and now going through Zeewoi formal complains and insurance. PLEASE DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE

Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!

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.

Sabre is a sweet, honest person who stepped up at the very last moment (after the prior sitter flaked out) to watch our dog and cat for 17 days. When there were a couple minor accidents, she informed us of them right away. One involved a burnt pan (easy to do if you’re not familiar with an induction stovetop) which she offered to replace. 
   Sabre also washed the towels and sheets, and made up the bed before we got home. The yard was pooper scooped and litter box was clean. Pets seemed well-cared for.
   When she had to leave town for several hours one day, she made sure to arrange for our neighbor take care of the pets.
   Additionally, I appreciated how she didn’t assume that it would be ok to bring her cat. When we found out she was going to keep her cat in a kennel during her stay here, we told her she could bring him which worked out fine. 
   Overall, I would confidently recommend Sabre to watch your pets and house.

Kathryn was amazing. She helped me figure plans out after another sitter dropped out at the last minute and saved the day! My cat and fish were well taken care of, and she was super communicative when my tank had a problem child moment. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, helpful, and caring sitter!!

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.

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!

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.

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!
