Professional, non-smoking couple with flexibility to travel and work remotely.
Yet another five star sit from Gill and Rob. As always wonderful communication before and during the sit and knowing that Olive and Elsa would be totally looked after and cared for made for a very relaxing time. As before the house was totally spotless when we got back and we really hope they'll be available when we next go away. Couldn't recommend Gill and Rob more highly!

Retired, professional couple with lots of housitting experience home and abroad
Kaye and Peter are a super couple and we would highly recommend them as pet sitters. They arrived a day in advance to meet us and our pets. We immediately got on well together and they were very at ease with our motley crew of dogs. Nothing was too much trouble for them, and they went above and beyond. A very big thank you to them both for choosing to sit for our pets!

Cat and dog lover in SW4
Iona was great! She was so communicative beforehand and when we were away, and very flexible re dropping off keys etc. She sent lots of updates and seemed to spoil Hilda rotten (she loves the octopus toy still, thank you!). She left the house so tidy and clean and was super understanding even when the sink sprang a leak! We’d love to have Iona back next time we’re away and would definitely recommend her. Thank you so much for looking after Hilda (and the house), hopefully we’ll see you soon!

One man and somebody elses dog (or cat , or budgie)
This is the second time Jason has sat for us. We had the pleasure of having Jason back to look after our home and our dog, Fergus, while we were away, and we couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From start to finish, Jason was the epitome of reliability, care, and professionalism. Fergus is quite particular about his routine and can be a bit anxious when we're not around. However, Jason's calm and attentive demeanor immediately put Fergus at ease. It was clear from the daily updates and photos we received that Fergus was not only well-cared for but was genuinely enjoying his time with Jason. We returned to find Fergus happy, healthy, and clearly well-exercised. Jason went above and beyond in caring for our home as well. He ensured everything was kept tidy, brought in the mail, fed the fish, and watered our plants. It was such a relief to come back to a clean and well-maintained home. Communication with Jason was seamless. He was always quick to respond to messages and kept us informed about how things were going, which greatly eased our minds during our time away. We highly recommend Jason to anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring housesitter. His dedication and love for animals truly shine through, and we are incredibly grateful for the exceptional care he provided to Fergus and our home. Thank you, Jason, for your outstanding service. We will definitely be reaching out to you again for any future housesitting needs!

Animal loving couple looking to take on a new adventure in life!
We were very lucky to have caught Jemma and Kieran in between sits and at fairly short notice, when our usual arrangements with family fell through. It was clear from our initial zoom chat that they were going to be the perfect fit. We were impressed with their experience and the situations they had handled on previous sits, and we loved their passion for pets. Whilst we were away Jemma and Kieran sent regular updates and photos of our cat Violet. They took care to administer her medication and gave her plenty of attention, especially with her toys (Violet takes playtime very seriously!). They were particularly attentive with the house and garden, maintaining the hot tub and mowing the grass whilst we were away. It was lovely coming back to a clean home, with freshly made-up bed. They even got us some fresh baguettes and butter from our favourite store! They also got involved in some local volunteering activities, which was very welcomed in the community. Jemma and Kieran are a warm, friendly couple who are extremely diligent, reliable and thoughtful, and we’d happily have them back to sit.

When you are away from home, it’s time for the pets to make new friend!
For years to come we will have Lowell to thank for the beautiful pictures and videos of Tango that she took during her stay. She went absolutely above and beyond in her care of her. They went in epic adventures together and she kept us so informed. She was a delight to meet and a great house guest. We walked in to a spotless home, a happy hound and a big smile. We recommend Lowell wholeheartedly to any pet owner. Thank you Lowell.

Responsible, friendly, experienced & active dog, cat & home-sitter.
Guy was fantastic. Super calm, together, proactive and smart. Took charge, managed the odd issue without issue (non functioning gates due to heavy rain) and our girls seemed very content. Highly recommended!

Conscientious and caring family with a love of all animals
Jennie & Alan house/ pet sitted with their daughter over the August bankholiday, which should have been a gorgeous summer weekend but storm Lillian had other plans. Jennie & Alan weren't phased by the weather which blew the bins over & lots of branches on the forest tracks but none of this stopped them enjoying days out & activities nearby. The house was lovely & clean on my return home with bed linen,towels all washed & drying- a few things out of place but Jennie was quick to messege me when I couldn't find things. The birds & cat seemed happy on my return & seemed well cared for in my absense- I appreciated some good photo's & updates on progress whilst away. I was pleased the house plants & greenhouse had been watered as guests often forget that duty. It's a pity we hadn't had an in- person contact handover at the start of the sit due to arrival timings but I sent video & written instructions to help them find everything & they where quick to ask if they needed local or other information. I'd happily have them to return sit & so glad their daughter enjoyed the pets & garden :)

Active Aussie/English Couple Relocating to London
I really recommend Amie. Alfie was very calm and content when I came back, and they’d clearly looked after him with love and care. Communication was good, and all arrangements were met. Your house and pets will be in safe hands with Amie.

Professional couple who love cats & dogs, being outdoors and helping out
Francesca and Jonathan were fantastic! Given their proximity they came to visit us and the cats before we went away to ensure the cats were comfortable around them. This allowed us an opportunity to walk them through the house and routine which amazing and a first for us. The house was immaculate when we returned home and the cats were so relaxed. We were also blessed with a lovely little gift from Francesca and Jonathan which was so generous. 10/10 sitters - we highly recommend.
Brian is absolutely amazing. This was his third time sitting for us and the dogs love him, he left the house immaculate, and is totally reliable and communicative. We can’t imagine a better sitter and hope he’ll come visit and stay in touch now that he has moved to the area.
I was very happy with the love and affection that was very apparent when Travis and Shannon met the pups. I received one picture on my trip and was happy to see Shannon cuddled under a doggie pile. Nothing like seeing your dogs being loved by others as their own. Every thing was in its place when I return which was nice. I also received a welcome home gift handmade by them which was very lovely and made my day. I highly recommend them as trustworthy and reliable pet sitters to anyone.
Susan and Jim were exceptional pet sitters for our 2 pups and cat! From the start they were communicative and asked thoughtful clarifying questions that made us feel comfortable immediately. We spent time together the evening before we left for vacation and it was clear that they had read our welcome doc and instructions. They referenced animal behaviors that were noted and confirmed details. They arrived about an hour before we left and gave us all plenty of time to feel comfortable with being in our home. Throughout our vacation, Susan sent photos and updates of our critters and let us know how they were spending their time together. Susan was quick to respond to my messages via WhatsApp any time I reached out. Susan and Jim stayed at our house until we landed at the airport and let them know we were safely on the ground. They fed and walked the dogs and let us know they would be gone before we got home. It was great knowing that had our flight been delayed, they would have stayed at the house until we were safe driving distance away. We came home to a sparkling clean home, a thriving and happy garden, and well cared for animals! Susan and Jim left us detailed notes of their stay and even gave us lots of instructions on how to keep our garden happy! What a treat! All our linens were washed and replaced and the house was immaculate. Thank you Susan and Jim for choosing our home and furry family to spend your time with! You were the best first experience we could have asked for and would love to have you back again!
Jennifer treated my home and furry kids like they were her own. Everything was clean and well cared for and most importantly the dogs were happy! It was their first time with a sitter and they were happy. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience.
I’m sure most folks say the nicest things about their sitter, but honestly, if there were a “super star” status available then Denise would win the prize as sitter of the year! From the start, Denise was an excellent communicator. While we were still in the decision phase, Denise was always available to chat either by FaceTime, telephone or text. It was so easy to choose Denise; as you can see from her countless 5 star reviews, she truly is the only pet sitter you’d ever need and the one everyone hopes to have. Denise came to our house eager to meet us, our pets and the quirks of our house. Denise has an excellent sense of humor and immediately put us all at ease. Our pets took to her as if she was a long lost friend (even our finicky Siamese cat was loving on her from the start). While we were gone, our dog had a non-emergency health issue come up and just like that Denise was taking her to our vet, and administered the dog’s meds like a champion (Denise is also a nurse BTW). Additionally, Denise brought our pup to her scheduled groom appointments and even made future appointments for us to make our return home as seamless as possible. Denise was even above and beyond helpful to our neighbors and they appreciated her giving them access to our refrigerator when theirs broke down on Thanksgiving Eve! When we got home we were super impressed by how perfectly immaculate our house was! Most sitters leave the house clean, but Denise met and may have even exceeded our military standards of clean and orderly. Seriously, our house felt like we never left it. Everything was spotless, shinny and clean. She didn’t miss a beat!! Our pets were so happy to see us but honestly, I felt like our pup and kitty were disappointed when we walked in the door (I believe they were expecting to see Denise!). Haha. If you are ever fortunate enough to have Denise apply for any of your sits then I can’t recommend her enough. Seriously, you can stop reviewing applicants and just go with Denise. She was awesome in every sense of the word and I hope she’ll come back and stay with our pets again.
Cristina is simply the best house/pet sitter that we have ever had. She is responsible and dependable and an experienced dog owner. Our Wheaten, Bridie, adores her and misses her when she leaves.
Alexandria was by far our best sitter yet (and we've had excellent zeewoi sitters)! She was responsible, self sufficient and very responsive. She took the time to come meet our dog ahead of time and to run through the routine before our trip. She was communicative and sent great pics of her adventures with Rupee while we were away. She was extremely clean and followed our household routine. And to top it al off, she left us with a homemade vegetable soup for our jet lagged return home from Europe! Alexandria is a wonderful, kind and caring person that I am grateful to have met. I cannot thank you enough Alexandria!
Great sitter and kept in contact regularly. Would gladly have her sit for my dog again.
Katrina and her family were amazing house sitters who took wonderful care of our dog. Our dog is reluctant to go on walks with new people, but the entire family pitched in and found ways to take her to the park. Her daughter developed a particularly close bond with our dog. Katrina communicated us frequently and we always felt reassured by her messages. We returned from our long trip to a spotless home and a beautiful cake in the fridge. What more could you want!
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!
