Energetic couple, now with time on their hands and keen for adventure
It was a pleasure having Tessa and Duncan sit for me and Sam. Their communication and responsiveness before the sit was brilliant, and made me feel very at ease that they would look after Sam and the house well. During the sit they sent me regular updates of Sam looking happy and relaxed and well cared for, and the house was immaculate in my return. Thank you Tessa and Duncan, it was a perfect sit.

If your pets could rate us, like on Uber, we would have a 4.99 rating.
I am so thankful I found Marguerite and Roy through this platform. They were exactly what I needed to feel at ease about leaving my slightly anxious pup while away for work. They took the time to stop in for a meet and greet before the sit, and that made all the difference as well. They kept me in the loop daily, with messages and cute little videos. I know Meg Ryan had a great stress-free time with them. My apt was just as I left it, and they went above and beyond to wash the sheets and towels, and made up my bed for me before they left. I can not wait to use them again, and hope we both have future dates that align to make that a reality!

I COME FROM A FAMILY THAT LOVES AND HAS HAD ANIMALS OF ALL KINDS OVER GENERATION
Kay took excellent care of our cat and home while we were away for 6 weeks. We came home to a neat and tidy house and happy cat. Kay fed our cat, cleaned the litter box, watered the plants, took out trash/recycling, brought in the mail, and everything else needed to keep the house running. Kay was very communicative and kept us updated on the cat and other things around the house. I highly recommend Kay as a house sitter!

We really got lucky when we accepted Lauren after a relatively short video call. We met her after that (and before the sit started) when she made an effort to overnight our area so we could all get to know one another. She communicated extremely well, was warm yet professional, cared deeply and genuinely about our doggie (and about us!), and was a huge help and resource to a family that came to stay in our other home from overseas. It was their first time in S. Africa, and she did so much to welcome them, help them settle in, trouble shoot things in the home-- as well as in their travels. Lauren spent an additional 2 nights-- the first when we did not make it home on time due to flight cancellation, and the next when we finally got home, but it became too late to be on the road. These were ongoing last minute changes (more than one) and Lauren took it all in stride. Lauren also communicated health concerns to us about our dog, took her to the vet when she had a troublesome wound, and made sure she could comfortable get up and down the stairs with her arthritis. On walks, the stiffness is forgotten, and Lauren kept up so well on free range beach runs. She did not hesitate to take our doggie along to the cafe and to social events, and even got her some luxury birthday treats. We have other sits coming up, arranged before we met Lauren, and I can only hope they go so well. If not, I feel reassured that a back-up might be close by. Huge thanks to Lauren

Experienced mature couple; love animals and travel
We couldn't be more pleased with the care Phil and Jo provided for our cats, Jill and Joy, while we were on vacation. We met them the day before we left, which allowed us to show them around the house and go over everything in detail. We had a great feeling about leaving our pets and home in their hands, and they absolutely lived up to our expectations. While we were away, Phil and Jo sent us pictures of the cats every other day, which reassured us that Jill and Joy were doing well. When we returned, the house was spotless, and our cats were clearly content and well-cared for. To top it off, a delicious lemon cake was waiting for us—a thoughtful touch that made coming home even sweeter. It's clear that Phil and Jo took the time to ensure everything was in perfect order, and we were especially happy to see how comfortable and happy Jill and Joy were. We highly recommend Phil and Jo to anyone looking for trustworthy and caring house and pet sitters. We would not hesitate to have them back again in the future!

Happily married couple who will lovingly care for your home and pets
Jane and John were really fantastic, not only did they give our boys a great time, they had the job of taking care of Sam after a small operation on his foot, he was well cared for. They left the place clean and tidy and cooked us a lovely meal on our return. Please come back soon.........

A desire to travel to new places and combine it with our love of animals.
I was fortunate to meet Jenny and Nigel on two occasions. They are delightful people and most importantly Barnaby, my dog, seemed to like them! I was confident leaving the house and dog with them. When I got home the house was immaculate and Barnaby seemed content. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them.

Mom-and-teen travel team for long-term pet sits in Cape Town
My Luna cat was very well cared for by Lani and Lee… Lee had a very special connection with Luna, as she was even allowed by Luna, to brush her stomach furr!! I could really enjoy my 2 month, job in Europe, without any concerns about my furry child.

Ann & Andy were simply fantastic. Our cats were clearly not only well cared for but genuinely very happy and content in their company. They were excellent in all respects and we are so very grateful to them!
Toby and Chloe were amazing pet sitters. It wasn’t the easiest sit - a nervous dog and 3 cats with various ailments and medication to have, but they took it all in their stride and cared for them so well without any issues. Our nervous dog Zelda warmed to them in just 2 days which is a record for house sitters so far! I also really enjoyed getting to know them over dinner the night before I left, they’re very easygoing and positive people. They also left the house spotless for when I came back. I would love to have them sit for us again. You can rest assured your house and animals are in safe hands with this lovely pair!
I'm delighted to have found Lisa as a sitter and hope to have her back again! She was detail oriented and clearly cared about my cats' well being. She asked good questions about the cats' routines and needs and about the house to be sure she'd meet my expectations and have a comfortable and successful sit. She communicated very well before and throughout the sit and even though I was unreachable for much of the time I was confident everyone was in good hands. Lisa left the house in immaculate condition and the cats were relaxed and happy when I got home. What a delight!
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!
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.
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
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.
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.
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. ⭐
Jinnie was an excellent house sitter for me and my cat Felix. Completely responsible and reliable and helpfully flexible. She was willing to work with me as I dithered on whether I was actually going to go on my trip (which was dependent on good weather), and when I finally decided on making my trip one day shorter. House was clean and organized on my return, and, more importantly, my cat was calm and relaxed on my return. I would happily have Jinnie come sit for me and Felix again.
Jose was a wonderful pet/house sitter for us recently. We highly recommend him. He was wonderfully reliable and responsible and took such good care of our two pets. On short notice Jose drove down from Grass Valley to the East Bay for a bit of a quiet get-away while working a really hard job teaching online. We know how hard that is firsthand and partly why we needed our own get-away for a last-minute backpacking trip. We have a recently rescued pit bull and a rescued cat that we're still introducing to each other to make sure the dog doesn't eat the cat (as he seems to want to), and the cat doesn't blind the dog (as she would if he tried to eat her). That might be more background than is needed in a review but Jose made us feel comfortable about everything because of how conscientious and responsible he clearly is. We could tell when we talked to him that he was genuinely kind and eminently trustworthy. We are very grateful and hope Jose was happy with everything too because we know what a value his care was to us. Jose truly deserves any and all house-sitting gigs that strike his interest. Ours was not the easiest and he was amazing. Get him if you can.
