Reliable, Non-smoking, Retired, Experienced Animal-Loving Couple.
Michael and Gayln are very kind and responsible people. They were attentive to our requests regarding our home and were very loving towards our dog. The house was left in great shape upon their departure. We sincerely hope that they will return to us again one day!

Four foot feisty gal constructed from sarcasm, sass, yet not a jackass.
Chelsea is the best!! Such a lovely human being and it was a real privilege to have her come all the way from Dallas, Texas to Ireland, to look after FiFi, our adorable feline, who comes with many quirks and little idiosyncrasies . I can honestly say that Chelsea took care of her exactly as we would have wanted - keeping to her familiar routines which are so important for her continued health and wellbeing. Fi Fi is well known in our local community and Chelsea fully immersed herself in social gatherings, enabling FiFi to maintain her bonds with those familiar to her. Chelsea has a wealth of experience in taking care of animals and it showed in the standard of the care she provided. It is obvious that she loves what she is doing and this shows through her level of commitment and attention to detail in the care she provides On our return the house was exactly as we had left it and Fi Fi was really relaxed and settled - the sit was purrfect!!! We were lucky enough to be able to spend some time with Chelsea the following day and really enjoyed her company and gentle nature - she was also a big hit with our neighbours , who like us were sad to see her go. I really hope we get the chance to meet Chelsea again and only wish she lived nearer!! She is a 5 Star + house sitter Chelsea, we can’t thank you enough for looking after FiFi so well - she loves you lots and so do we!! xo

Experienced, reliable housesitter ready to care for your home and pets!
Wendy was as fantastic as all of her other reviews say. I think the best sign of a good housesitter is when my cats are hardly phased when I come home because they are so comfortable and well-adjusted, and my cats hardly looked up when I came in the door. She was great at keeping me updated and sending photos of the kitties, plus she kept the house in perfect shape, like I never left. I would highly recommend Wendy for your stay and I look forward to her return soon!

Experienced House/Pet Sitter Excited to Take Care of Your Beloved Pets
I just want to say Kathryn was awesome from the first intro/meeting video to the last day of our vacation. She was punctual, kind and also relaxed, which I think really helped our kitty to quickly get used to her. All in all, because of her we were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our cat at home.

Solo traveler in search of my next pet companion.
Our home was clean and tidy when we returned from our long trip. It was nice to come home to clean. The dogs were happy and alive. I am sure they were a handful with all of the storms that occurred during Maxine's stay. Zoe is very afraid of storms but seems no worse for wear. Thank you for taking care of things while we were away.

Warm, Friendly, Housesittin' Texans
Got home this afternoon to a clean house. Happy pets. Healthy plants and garden. While I was gone, any and all issues were handled with confidence and professionalism. I never worried about anything, not once. I can't tell you all how good that feels. I would welcome them back any time.

Kelley watched our house and 4 cats for two weeks while we were on a trip. She took great care of our cats and we came home to a tidy house. We got regular updates on the cats while we were gone. Would recommend Kelley to anyone looking for a house sitter!

Cindy was good natured and communicative. She took good care of our dogs and our house. I am happy to recommend her.
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!
Florence and Robert were outstanding sitters. We asked them to arrive a day early as our guests to learn the routine on our farm. In getting to know them we found them to be good hearted, down to earth people with a love of animals and diligent in learning our routines to care for our poultry, cats and dog as well as our garden and orchard. Not a typical or easy sit. We travelled with ease knowing our critters were being well taken care of. Arriving home, the house was very clean and looked well cared for. The animals were healthy as were the garden and orchard. Out pets missed them when they left – our dog stared down the driveway after them until their car was out of sight. It is nice to find sitters we would like to hang out with and we look forward to having them sit for us again.
I feel that Julia is simply the best person and pet sitter I could ask for. They really cared for our cat and gave him lots of attention. She is flexible, upbeat, reliable, considerate and great at communicating. I highly recommend Julia and Chris.
Elisabeth was an excellent sitter for our cat. We were away for two weeks and received daily photos and notes from her about Catman's activities (i.e., sleeping and eating). She is definitely a cat lover and that was evident from our cat's calm behavior when we returned.
Lindsey watched our cat and dog for a long weekend when we went out of town. She was a very communicative sitter sending frequent pictures and voice notes with updates. She did a great job of following their schedules and giving them attention. The animals seemed to be happy and relaxed when we returned home and I believe Lindsey enjoyed getting to discover all of the eateries our town has to offer. A win-win for everyone!
We couldn't have asked for better sitters than Pares and Mark. Since our initial contact, it was straightforward to communicate with Pares. We were lucky enough to get a chance to meet Pares with our dog Luna, and Luna got along with her immediately. During our time away from home, she kept us informed about how both our dog and cat were doing, and they were both cuddling with her since the first day. We got a lot of pictures and knew that they were safe and happy. The apartment was exactly as we had left it when we came back. Pares and Mark even ran the dishwasher and the washing machine for us. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter, and it made our trip very easy knowing they were taken care of so well. We'd have Pares and Mark back to our home without any hesitation.
Ann Marie was an excellent house sitter who went above and beyond. She flew in a day early and stayed at a local hotel so we she could meet my cat and get the keys before my early flight the next morning. When I returned, she and Tryke were best friends and the house was immaculate. She even washed the sheets and towels, and remade the bed. I strongly recommend Ann Marie for any future sits!
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.
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!
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.
