Gwenda and Kevin were a sheer joy to have as sitters. They were organised, thoughtful, caring and good planners and evidently cared for the animals and the house while we were away. They kept in touch with updates and any questions. And even arranged calls for when Aiden was missing the cats and wanted to check-in with them. Meeting them in person after the sit was lovely and we enjoyed a cup of tea before they left We would recommend Gwenda and Kevin for any future sits!

I feel so lucky to have Joshua look Raven and my home again. He provides regular updates on Raven's well-being, including videos and his communication is amazing. I always come home to a clean home and knowing I will be coming back late (or exhausted from sailing) Joshua leaves me the most delicious leftovers which I can't express how grateful I am for :D

I felt very confident when I first met Georgie that my house and my wee dog Griffin would be in safe hands. And so they were. Georgie was a great house sitter and pet carer. She gave him plenty of attention, many walks and a couple of new adventures. My house was clean and tidy when I returned. She was a great communicator and kept me up to date with her stay. I would highly recommend Georgie to other home and pet owners.

This was our first experience using cat/house sitters so I was a bit nervous but right from the off Gwenda and Keith reassured me. What a great choice we made! Excellent communication before and during their stay, daily updates on the cats and mad kittens behaviour, with photos. I was completely at ease whilst away, knowing that Gwenda and Keith were doing a brilliant job. The kittens, we are a foster family for a local cat charity, were super friendly when we got back, I know Gwenda and Keith spent lots of time with them. Even my more scardy cat came to them for strokes. On our return the house had been left clean, sheets etc washed and a bunch of flowers. Perfect. If all pet sitters are like this fantastic couple, I'll be going on holiday more often!

Lee and Janice were outstanding. The dogs adored them and so did the garden and house. They are wonderful company, very kind and interested in everything. We received regular reports …. One of our dogs is very frail indeed yet they took that in their stride and we felt completely confident with her in their fabulous, practical and hugely knowledgeable care. They only left this morning but we miss them already. Just fabulous Carole, David,

If you get the chance to book Ella and Jonah, I highly recommend you do! They were very kind, reliable, and very flexible when our situation got a little crazy due to wildfires nearby. They took wonderful care of our Vizslas Gunny and Vinny (our boys were exhausted when we got home!) And our home was clean and the plants were well cared for. We only wished they lived closer so we could book them again!

Anthony looked after our house, Merlin and Nellie for a week. The animals were very well loved and looked after. Anthony’s communication was great and very reassuring that Merlin and Nellie were in safe hands. Merlin was walked twice a day and is definitely missing his big walks with Anthony 😊 The house was left spotless and lovely to come home too. I would highly recommend Anthony to be your trusted pet sitter and would happily have Anthony back to look after Merlin and Nellie again.

Martin and Caitlin are the best house/pet sitters we've ever had. They came fully prepared (they had read through welcome packet thoroughly before they arrived), they sent the best texts and pics to reassure us all was well, and the house was immaculate when we got home. Best of all, they treated Winston like family and he clearly fell in love with them. They are considerate, trustworthy, and detail-oriented. We absolutely would love to have them back (honestly, every time we go on a trip!). They are fantastic and we are truly grateful for the care and love they showed to both our dog and our home.

Evan and Maria were fabulous. They are experienced sitters and it shows in their independence. They sent regular updates, but not too regular and were totally self sufficient. Most importantly both the house and dog were perfect when we returned home.

This is our second time welcoming Michele and we were so happy to have her back! Our dogs Pedro and Samantha love her and it is clear she loves them! Our house was immaculate upon our return and Michele made her famous lemon chicken recipe which we gobbled up and then we asked for the recipe. We can't say enough great things about her and hope you are lucky enough to get her as a sitter for your pets.

If we could give 10 out of 5 stars for Candace, Brian, and Chris, we would!  They were amazing house and dog sitters for Brown Dog and Scout. They were so accommodating with our timeline and had read our welcome guide to a tee!  It was so reassuring being gone for 2 weeks and knowing our pups were in amazing hands. They sent us daily updates and pictures and it was clear the dogs were so well cared for!  They left the house very clean and even had all of our bedding and towels washed for us when we arrived home. Would absolutely recommend them for a sit and would love to have them back again any time!

Emily  and  Chris were absolutely incredible house and pet sitters. They took care of our dog and two cats for 10 days and were some of the best sitters we've ever had. They took amazing care of all three animals -- giving medicine to our aging dog and managing to befriend our very shy cats on day one.  We received adorable picture and video updates each day and it was clear that the pets loved spending time with them. Additionally they left the house in pristine shape and were incredibly diligent in all aspects -- bringing in packages, taking out the trash and recycling, etc.  I can't recommend them highly enough!

Jo & David were absolutely amazing sitters for our house and dog Rosie while we were out of town for 2 1/2 weeks. They are the best! Jo was super communicative and responsive at all times. She and David bonded with our dog, who grew very attached to them. They left our house super clean (and there were even chocolate chip cookies for us on our return)! Most of all, they are just super nice people and very easy to work with. Anyone is lucky to have JoAnna & David housesit for them.

Lisa and Matt were absolutely fantastic sitters for us and our dog, Moose.  
Not only were they flexible when our flight was changed last minute, they also were able to stay an extra day to accommodate the changes.  They communicated with us promptly during the scheduling and planning process for the housesit.  They arrived on time on the (re)scheduled day.  They acclimated to our dog very quickly and gave us piece of mind as we left by taking him on a walk to avoid his separation anxiety.  We chatted every day and exchanged photos of Moose playing at the beach and in the yard.  He was so happy!  No problems were encountered with the house.  Even our neighbors commented on how friendly and kind Lisa and Matt both were and how they really cared for Moose.  
The house was spotless when we returned.  Everything in proper order, better than we left it.  
We can't thank them enough for the excellent experience!

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.

Oh my Goodness!  Where to begin.  Linda was the perfect house sitter for us and the perfect pet sitter for Olivia!  She is one of the nicest people you will ever meet.  When we returned from out two week vacation all our plants were alive, the garden was alive, the birds and fish had been fed regularly, and the dog was alive and happy!  What more can you ask for, right?  Well with Linda you get all that and more.  Updates as you request - even videos of her morning walks with Olivia.  The house as spotless as we left it, maybe even better! Even the porches were clean!  Linda is a genuine treasure and our recommendation would be 10 stars if there were that many!!

Veronica House sat for us for a month.  She cared for our two Dobermans and our cat.

Veronica is so enthusiastic about animals.  They immediately pick up on her joy and love for them.

When some bold alligators made our dogs’ normal exercise routine unsafe,  she was faced with the challenging situation of keeping two Dobermans with very different temperaments exercised and entertained in the height of Florida summer with its bugs, heat, and humidity.  She met this challenge by taking the dogs for individual outings. She drove our young social dog to the dog park, finding the times when he would most likely have other large playmates and drove our socially anxious dog to the quiet areas of town for walks.  This took a lot more time than our normal routine, but it kept our dogs safe and happy.

A lasting benefit for us is that our younger dog, once a terror in the car, now rides much more calmly and our anxious dog, once fearful of what the car ride would bring, now happily hops in.
 
Our cat was so content and well-groomed​ upon my return, it was obvious that she had been getting lots of daily attention,  too.

Veronica communicated with us on all the happenings with our pets and property every day.

I came home to happy and healthy pets and a well cared for home.

We feel so fortunate to have had Veronica as a house sitter and look forward to her sitting for us again.
