Beth and Marty were amazing house sitters! Our house was as clean and as tidy as we had left it (if not more!) Everything was immaculate. Our animals were treated beautifully and Yuki adored her caregivers. We would recommend Beth and Marty to any house owners, they are respectful, friendly and caring folk. They were great communicators and we felt very comfortable having them in our home. We would have them back anytime.

Tara and Joshua were amazing pet sitters! Because of scheduling we sadly missed meeting them in person but they were very communicative before and throughout the sit. Would highly recommend them staying to take care of your pet!

KC and Noah were gracious enough to come sit for me again on short notice. I absolutely cannot recommend them enough, both because they take such good care of my pup and because they honestly leave the house cleaner than they found it!

We knew that our home and our pets were in good hands when we met Dave upon his arrival. And he did not disappoint! The pets were loved and cared for even with complicated feeding instructions. We came home to find our home clean, the pets happy, and even the bedding changed. We highly recommend him and would welcome him back whenever our schedules match up again!

This was the second time we’ve had Cat stay at our house to care for our pup Freddie and cat Wilma and it was a delight once again! We really enjoy communicating with Cat - we feel like she’s a friend at this point! Like last time, she kept us updated (even on not-so-fun topics like dog poop 😂) and really paid attention to and cared for our animals. She went out of her way to take Freddie on a few adventures like the beach and a walking trail which was fun to see. We came home to two very content pets and a spotless home. We trust her completely and hope to have her stay again! If you’re lucky enough to have Cat sit, we strongly recommend!

Not only did Krista take great care of our cat while we were away, she left the house cleaner than she found it. She also kept in touch with occasional photos and videos of kitty antics, which gave me peace of mind that the cat was well-cared for. We definitely recommend her as a house and pet sitter and would ask her again in the future!

Missy was a great house guest and dog sitter! She communicated well before and during the sit, as well as being extremely tidy. We returned and found the house in perfect condition and Diesel in good spirits. I highly recommend Missy as a zeewoi!

Where are the 10 stars? Lori is a 10 star person, pet sitter and house sitter. She is an extraordinary woman - caring, sensitive, responsible and an excellent communicator. We have had house sitters before but none can compare - she set a high bar. Our dog was loved while we were gone and well cared for. Frankie put Lori through her paces by escaping one evening during a storm and chasing neighboring cows who had gotten through their fence back to their home. Lori handled all of the chaos with calmness. The house was just as we had left it, plants and gardens cared for and a happy dog. We will definitely call on her again - in fact we will only call her for future house sits. She’s a sweet keeper.

Terri and Blake were wonderful house sitters, Harri our Welsh Springer Spaniel had clearly been more than well looked after. We received lots of pictures of him obviously having a great time. Blake looked after my garden so well. They are a very personable couple and we would recommend them highly.

Maryna was an excellent pet sitter and houseguest! Communicating with her was easy, and she always responded to my messages quickly. She was also incredibly self-sufficient! Moreover, Maryna graciously agreed to check on my neighbor's cat for a couple of days as well. My dog bonded with her quickly and was happy and healthy when I returned. The house was also spotless. I would happily have Maryna sit for me again!

Diane and Les were excellent pet and house sitters. Jet was a very happy dog when we returned and Diane had shared many photos of their days together while we were away on holiday. The house was very clean and tidy when we returned and some milk , bread and sweet treats had been left for us, which were very welcome after our 2 long flights home. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Diane and Les as sitters for your home and pets, everything was done to a high standard and Jet was happy in his usual environment , which is all we wished for. Many thanks to you both.

Leah & Elias, were an absolute joy as housesitters.  They arrived a day early so we could all meet and go over the pets routine.  Our cat is relatively new and has a little separation anxiety but they managed his care really well.  Our dog needed to be dropped off at a sitters and they took care of that as well.    We also came home to a clean and neat house! Overall, they went above and beyond and I highly recommend them.

Robyn was a great pet sitter and house sitter.  She  went way over and beyond my expectations!!!! She sent a photo of her and my dogs and they were looking at her like they were in love.  And my cats are not very friendly, but she won them over also.  I would highly recommend Robyn as a pet sitter and house sitter.  She is a very sweet lady.  I would love to have her watch my babies again and again.

Lori is the best of the best! I would recommend her 100 times over! Lori is great at communicating and our dogs were extremely happy. She was very attuned to our dog’s anxiety and did a great job making the dogs feel safe and loved. The house was spotless when we returned. Lori also had the job of taking care of my numerous plants. I have to say the plants look better when I got home than they did before I left😂 Lori has a green thumb. Lori is so kind and just a wonderful person. Rest assured if you choose her as your sitter your dog and home are in the best hands. Thank you again, Lori! Blessings!

Joe arrived some days before I left, so I could show him some nice places in Switzerland and he had enough of time to learn all about the dogs and how to handle them. He is an amazing nice and an animal/natur loving person who took care of my dog with incredible affection when I was in vacation. I could really enjoy it, because I knew, everything is ok at home. He sent me picutres and I could see, how much fun they have together. He cooked for the dogs, mad a lot of nice hikes with them and huged them, when they need it - so he even got the trust from Artu (as a man really not easy). 
And not only that, he made woodruff punch for me and sowed my tomatoes and spoiled them with melt water. And he helped also the women which looked after the horses and helped her to going walk with them.
Generelly he is super friendly, so everyone in the village likes him.

He is considerate of your belongings and has handed the house back neatly. He is just the best. I'm so gratuful he was here.

So, if you have a chance to get him as a sitter, take it. Your animals will be grateful to you and have a good time while you are on vacation.

Joe, you're not just a dog sitter for me. You were so familiar to me from the first moment. We had a lot of fun and we already miss you sooooo much. I'm really looking forward to see you again in some monthes.

Mikayla was a superb house/dog sitter for us for one full week. She was an excellent communicator, very quiet and tidy (respectful of the space) and best of all she quickly bonded with our big dog Mouse. She cheerfully took her for long walks and shared photo updates regularly. I highly recommend Mikayla.

This was our first experience with TH and we are very pleased. From the moment Rose arrived we knew she was the right sitter for our “kids”. Communication while we were away was great with pics of the dogs as well as text messages. Rose cared for our home and our “kids” with great care, she is very conscientious of your space. Extremely pleased with the care she provided to our “kids” and our home. We have another trip planned in a couple of weeks and are happy Rose will be staying in our home again. I highly recommend Rose as a sitter!

Stephanie, Brian and baby Martin took fabulous care of our home and pets for two weeks. 

From the outset, communication was quick, smooth and friendly and it was clear that both Stephanie and Brian are reliable, professional and warm sitters who take all the various elements of a sit seriously.

They kept us up to date with photos and messages, dealt proactively and competently with any unexpected issues that popped up, and most importantly showered our dogs and gerbils with attention and care throughout the time we were away. We returned to a spotlessly clean home (with thoughtful touches of fresh milk, bacon and bread waiting for us) and happy, settled pets. 

In short, we would recommend Stephanie and Brian to anyone looking for reliable, attentive and proactive sitters for their pets and home. We would be delighted to welcome them back for another sit, should they ever find themselves in the area again.
