James and Valerie were the perfect pet and house sitters. They were communicative before and during the sit, and left the house cleaner than they found it. They gave our pup Maya so much love. I recommend them without reservation!

Lynn and Jim were absolutely incredible!!! If you get the chance to have them stay with your fur-babies, jump at the opportunity! They were excellent at communicating right from the start and sent such wonderful pictures & updates throughout their entire stay. They cared for our two pups so well, giving them all the love, attention and exercise they could ask for :) I love that they included them on their dog-friendly adventures, and know that our pups were having just as much fun (if not more 😁) with them as we were on our trip. Our home was spotless when we arrived back. They took excellent care of everything 😊 We are so grateful for Lynn and Jim, and would love to have them here again if they're ever back in WI. Thank you again, Lynn and Jim!!!

Debby was an amazing pet-and-house sitter! Dave and I cannot say enough good things about her: she is personable, highly responsible, organized, tidy, pro-active, energetic, and self-sufficient. And she is a lovely human being with a deep love for and understanding of dogs (I'm sure she would be equally empathic with cats). She took amazing care of our furry children and in particular took Apollo, our energetic 2 year old Golden, on long on-and-off leash hikes every day, sending us pictures of his adventures. She left our house spotless and our plants well-cared for. I also feel like we've made a friend ! Such a great experience-- highly recommend!

This was the second time Audrey (and her husband Kurt as well, this time) stayed with Millie, and it was so seamless, with frequent brief notes and photos reminding me of how lucky Millie was to get such attention. My plants were well-tended to and the house was left spotless. If Audrey and her husband Kurt apply to housesit for you, you should grab that chance - they are so wonderfully caring and responsible.

Dan and his partner Martha were great dog sitters for my pup Rooney. They came with their super sweet pup Keepher, who quickly became best buds with Rooney. They were flexible coming and going which was super helpful with travel delays. They were communicative while I was away and left the place clean and tidy. After spending a few hrs with them in the beginning, I felt super comfortable leaving, knowing they could handle anything and were responsible pet owners themselves. This piece in particular was super helpful for me. I knew they would care for my dog as well or better since they had their dog with them... I would totally recommend them (including Keepher) to sit for anyone !

Vida was a house-sitter 'par excellence'. We cannot have wished for more than her cheerful, efficient and super-helpful presence. We were away for an extended time with full confidence that our house and pet were in the best possible hands. It was a joy to come home to everything in perfect order.

Kate was an AMAZING cat sitter, and a wonderful house sitter! She took excellent care of our two cats while we traveled overseas for a month. She really understands cats' ways and needs and went above and beyond in making sure they were safe, happy and stress-free in our absence. She sent pictures, and stayed in communication (at my request). She left the house clean and in great shape. We couldn't have found a better fit for our needs. Kate is mature, responsible, attuned and knowledgeable about cats -- plus, she's just a lovely person. We're delighted to have met her. We highly recommend her as a pet sitter for your animals.

Sue and Richard were greeted enthusiastically by the dogs ! They sent me pics of the dogs having a good time on the beach . Which is always reassuring. I can recommend them as dog sitters and they arrived on time and were packed up when I got back

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!

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.

Joe and Casey were very easy going and reliable. We organised the sit way in advance with a video chat and we had adequate communication leading up to the sit. We handed over the house and animals after a fairly swift explanation of everything. Being experienced sitters Joe and Casey didn't need us to over explain anything (hopefully they felt the same) and we could see very quickly that they were animal lovers. They asked us how much communication we needed whilst away and we said "no news is good news". So we received just the right amount of updates along with the most adorable photos and reassuring words about all the animals. It was clear that they quickly understood the character of each of the animals. We forgot to mention that Tipper likes to dig dirt beds around the garden which creates quite a mess and it was obvious that these were kept under control. The garden and pool were well cared for. We enjoyed a relaxing couple of weeks away knowing that the animals were being loved and the dogs definitely looked for Joe and Casey when we arrived home. Our pets, home and garden were well respected and cared for and we would not hesitate to invite Joe and Casey to sit for us again.

Janet and Bob were great to our pups and our home! They were our first sitters so we weren’t really sure what we were getting into, but they made it an awesome experience! 

They are coming back to stay with our dogs again in August. Definitely trust them with your fur babies!! 🐾🐶

Theresa is a reliable and experienced pet sitter in addition to being great at keeping house! She was very accommodating in meeting me & the dogs in advance of our sit, which proved she is a true pet person: attentive to my dogs and eager to know how they should be cared for. She kept me posted while I was away & I returned to a tidy home & happy dogs!
I highly recommend her!!

Angela Gandolfo and Erica Piazza came to stay at our house while we were away on vacation for two weeks. Our two dogs are a handful, but these two lovely women took such good care of them. They spoiled them even more than we do, which is perfect. We got photos every day, and when we came home our house was tidy and there were clean sheets on the bed. I couldn't have asked for better house and pet sitters than these two women. They communicated well with us, and if they had questions, they asked. It was a pleasure to work with both Angela and Erica. 
We had to cut our vacation short because of a death in the family. It was really stressful, but once again, Angela and Erica were flexible and understanding. It made a difficult time easier, knowing that things at home were being managed so well. 
I'm hoping that if we ever have to go away again for such a long time, I will be able to get these two back here again! (hint hint) 
Thank you, Angela and Erica!

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.

The two-leggeds and four-legged members of this household give Tess a 5-star rating! We think she's one of the best sitters you will find - highly communicative, friendly, competent, reliable, and great with pets. Tess was also flexible about start and end dates to accomodate possible winter weather complications. For this sit, Tess was able to bring along her mom, Cathy. Tess introduced me to Cathy during one of our Skype conversations prior to the sit. It was a bonus to have her here with Tess. Their travel to Marquette was complicated by weather. A fierce winter storm swept across Michigan just before the sit. It took Tess and Cathy two days to drive here but they arrived, as promised, in time for us to fly out early the next morning. We even had time for a lovely dinner together and to introduce them to the dogs and house. We left the next day and never had a moment's worry while Tess and Cathy were caring for our pets and home. Tess sent us regular updates and photos. The dogs immediately accepted them as great new additions to their pack of friends - even our cranky, old chihuahua, Nike! We returned to happy pets and a spotlessly clean home. We plan to invite Tess (and Cathy if available) to return for future sits. Thank you, Tess and Cathy!
