Cynthia is super reliable and has a great sense of humour! She sent us updates and pictures regularly, and left our home organised. And most importantly our boys loved her!

Gerome and her partner Alse C were absolutely amazing! While I was away my cat Frank got a cut on his ear and they lovingly cared for him, took him to the vet, tended his wound, and made sure he could eat enough while wearing his neck cone. They went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and improving. They also left my house spotless! They are wonderful to communicate with and truly care for animals. I couldn't recommend them higher!

Lover of kids and pets (is there a difference?).
Celeste was an amazing guest who treated our home with care and respect. She took Guapo on his daily walks, played with him, and made sure he was happy and well-exercised. She left our home even better than she found it, followed all our instructions perfectly, and adapted easily to last-minute changes. Celeste is welcome back anytime to dogsit Guapo. Two paws up!

Kadi was great! She was always quick to respond, kept us updated on the fur kids, and was generally just a pleasure to talk to! She left our place immaculately clean and even mowed the lawn while we were away. She went above and beyond in so many other ways that I can’t remember them all. For example, one of our dogs got sick right before we left and Kadi took great care of her amazingly and handled the situation like a champ. She also took care of our plants even though we hadn’t asked. And then she offered to fix one of our car tires for us! I’m sure I’m forgetting other great things because there were a lot, haha. Anywho, to anyone considering Kadi in the future: you’d be silly not to get Kadi as your next house sitter. We hope to have her back or just hang out with her when she returns to New Orleans!

What a joy, to travel the way of the heart. -Rumi
Kelly was wonderful! Communicative and reliable. I felt so comfortable watching my cat and my home while I was away. Would have Kelly back in a heart beat!

Ian kept in touch, asked appropriate questions, and both cats were happy and well fed when we got home. Of course he didn't get to see our phantom cat, but she came right out when we walked in the door and reported her care had been great.

Terri takes great care of our dogs and our home! We are very lucky to have had her as our housesitter multiple times. We have no worries leaving our house and our dogs in her hands. She is always caring and responsive, and has been there for us and our dogs even through emergency situations. Our dogs love her so much! Thank you again Terri!

House sitting experience since 1991 in Brooklyn, New Orleans and Hawaii
Louis and Natalia were great. Louis checked in with me every few days with pictures and updates. He took Roux to a park daily to play fetch. I was able to meet Louis and Natalia prior to the sit and was very comfortable with both of them and knew Roux was in good hands. Louis also took good care of my many potted plants which I know was a lot of work. I would strongly recommend Louis and Natalia to others.

Sage took great care of my pets during her stay, ensuring they were fed, let outside for potty breaks, and receiving plenty of playtime and cuddles. She followed the specific instructions and routines I had set for each of my pets, and they warmed up to her, showing that they adored her company. Sage communicated with me daily, which was reassuring. She sent daily photos, sometimes even videos or multiple photos, which made me feel confident that my pets were in good hands. Given the excellent care she provided to my pets, I'm overall satisfied with Sage's services. I would consider hiring her again in the future and would also recommend her to others looking for a pet-sitter.
Sofia and Nicole were excellent sitters to our 2 playful cats (an adult tabby and a BIG Maine coon kitten). They gave us a couple updates daily with pictures, as we requested. They were easy to communicate with before and throughout the entire sit. When we came home, our apartment was tidy (probably neater than we left it!) and our cats were relaxed and happy. They were also kind enough to leave us with some sweet bandanas for our boys. We were super pleased with the quality of care, and would happily recommend Sofia and Nicole to anyone in need of a pet or house sitter!
Anna was an excellent sitter - she took great care to understand all of the intricacies of taking care of the house and cats, asked lots of questions, and arrived on time and ready for the sit. During the trip, she checked in with updates, and upon returning home, left the space tidy and clean. The cats were happy and healthy, and seemed to have had a great time during the sit. Thanks Anna!
Becca was fantastic - we cannot say enough about how great she is as a pet and house sitter and as a human being! Becca committed to the sit 8 months in advance and was great with her responsiveness in communication during the long lead up to the sit. She arrived early and got the low downs on the animals and house stuff prior to us leaving. She woke up crazy early to help us get to the airport and picked us up when we returned, which made the traveling so much easier on our end. She left the house spot-less (and this is no exaggeration), with the linens cleaned, and a wonderful meal waiting for us upon our return. She is an absolute gem of a person with a great sense of humor and a kind and compassionate nature, and she really enjoys the animals in her care. Our dog and cat were very well cared for and totally at ease upon our return. If you are lucky enough to have Becca sit for you, you will be very pleased at how well she does the job!
Great sitter would hire Stephen and Jenny in a heartbeat. Great with dogs cat and house
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. ⭐
My husband and I are so grateful for Cendy staying with our ~1yr old cat for nearly a full month. We were nervous to leave her for so long but Cendy had Wilma literally eating out of the palm of his hand and snuggling with him in no time. Cendy was incredibly communicative with us and attentive to Wilma consistently for the entire duration of the sit which was such a relief and gave us the piece-of-mind needed to fully enjoy our trip. We returned back to an impeccably clean apartment and a very content kitty. For the first few days back Wilma was definitely looking around for Cendy, missing her buddy. We (and Wilma!) would welcome Cendy back any time, especially for a longer stay knowing how responsible of a sitter he was. Couldn't recommend enough!
Paige, David, and family were WONDERFUL sitters for my crew! They were so pleasant and personable, and the pets warmed up to them very quickly. Even my rescue cat who tends to stray away from men loved David. I received regular updates and communication (before and during the sit). I truly did not have any concerns while I was away knowing that everyone had such great care and attention given to them. (I know the dogs had a good time because when I came home there was no commotion over my return.) I was away on NYE and Paige had no issues keeping an eye on one of the dogs who has anxiety surrounding loud noises. The family cleaned up after themselves and may have left the house cleaner than when I left! Truly such a great family who I would welcome back any time!
If Cung ever applies to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the offer. You will not be disappointed. Cung is among the top (if not the top) sitter I’ve ever had and I’ve been on this site for years. Primarily, Cung is very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Cung kept me abreast of his plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk him through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Cung really cares. When he got to my apartment after what I assume was a long day of traveling, I explained the care instructions and he was very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Cung followed those exactly. Third, Cung makes you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out within an hour of me being away - very fast for my cat as he is shy. Cung must have a calming energy towards animals. Cung was also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 5 minutes. I really appreciated that. My cat threw up at one point and Cung answered all of my questions to assess whether my cat was sick or had just eaten too fast. Fourth, Cung will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The sheets were washed and folded on my bed. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Cung also respects your property. I have an extensive computer setup that he used for work and he was very respectful of that equipment. He asked if he could use it beforehand, which was incredibly polite since he could have used it and I wouldn’t have known. In sum. You need to jump at the opportunity if Cung offers to sit for you. I came home to a very happy cat. Hope he will sit for me again sometime!
Tonya was great and filled in after our other sitter had to cancel. She was very self sufficient and navigated acclimating herself to everything since she arrived after we left. She gave thoughtful updates on my cat and I could tell she really enjoyed her, so that means the world to me! She left the place immaculate and we will certainly have Tonya back!
Kristi was an exceptional house / pet sitter and we appreciate her being so flexible as were not sure how long our vacation was going to be. She was prompt, courteous, and even drove up the weekend before to meet with us. She took great care of our house and our dog snd cats loved her. I would highly recommended her.
