Anara was a great sitter for our two old cats. Her communication was much appreciated, both before and during the sit. The cats were much loved and the house was clean and tidy.

Pamela was exceptional. We found the cat and the apartment in better condition than when we left. We can't thank her enough for providing our cat with such love and care and leaving our apartment spotless.

Billie and Luke were awesome. They met with us before the sit to finalize all the details. They communicated well, they updated us with pictures and they left the house in perfect condition. We couldn’t ask for anything else. We would happily use them again.

Jen and Graham were amazing visitors and took excellent care of my home and my boy Ernie! Ernie had some tummy troubles and was a bit grumpy with the rain, but Jen and Graham were incredibly patient and Ernie looked so relaxed and happy in all the check in photos provided! My home was kept in amazing condition and they were so kind in cleaning the linens for My dad as I had extended my trip! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to watch your animals and home!!

Eileen is amazing and I feel very lucky to have had her come stay at my place twice with Milly. She is funny, thoughtful, caring and very very tidy. She made me feel so comfortable that leaving my sweet cat and home in her hands was an easy decision to make...twice. I would be honoured to have her sit again, anytime!

We are very pleased with Estelle and Saronna! They are both very sweet and friendly and easy to talk to. I really appreciated the daily updates with photos of my girls while I was away! I have 3 bengals, which are a fairly active cat breed and Estelle and Saronna did such a great job keeping them entertained! Our place was clean and tidy upon our return and the girls were very calm and relaxed. We look forward to hosting them again! Thank you so much!

Joanie communicated regularly which gave me complete peace of mind that our cat was in good hands. Our flight was delayed by a day so she came as scheduled and cooked a meal for us the night before we left! Our home was clean upon our return and all was well !

Richard rescued our holiday plans at short notice after our original sitters had to cancel at short notice, we are hugely grateful to him for stepping in and turning a potential nightmare into a success in a calm and efficient manner. Richard is a very pleasant man, quiet and calm and self sufficient. Our cat was extremely happy in his care and company and has missed him since he left. He was good at sending regular updates and didn’t trouble us with any issues while we were away. He also kindly offered to get basic supplies in for us for our return, which was very thoughtful. I’m sure had there been any problems , he would have been more than capable of dealing with them. The house was very clean and tidy on our return and he had also tidied up our drive and garden, which was an unexpected pleasant surprise. We would happily have Richard to house sit again and would highly recommend him.

This was our first house/pet sit with @zeewoi and we were extremely pleased!
Robert showed up when he said he would, he accommodated our timelines and our dog's scheduled routine. He left our home in excellent shape and we had a very happy, relaxed pup to come home to. It was important to us that Robert meet us via video chat or in person before we left and he went above and beyond. He sent photos of our dog, Cooper, and him throughout the sit and we could tell that Cooper was very happy with Robert. He responded immediately to our texts, giving him updates about our return. Communication is so important for making sure both the sitter and the house owners are confident in one another.  Robert is very outgoing and friendly and we have 100% confidence in him to look after our home and our dog when we are away. We look forward to Robert providing another future home sit.

Anita was a wonderful dog sitter for Balto! They were super tentative, made sure to ask any and all questions before we went away, and they sent the best updates about Balto while we were gone. I felt so much better knowing my dog was in great hands, and I could not recommend Anita enough! Quality care, and our apartment was spotless when we returned home.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Joe was an excellent sitter and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away, dealing with one of our pup’s surgery recovery, which was an unexpected circumstance just prior to our trip. We felt fully comfortable and were so grateful to know that all of our dogs and our home were in such good hands during his stay. Highly recommend!

Liz was a fantastic sitter for our boys and took great care of our home.  She was a great communicator and kept us informed of what was happening and how our dogs were doing. She also kept our home clean and tidy. We would be grateful to have Liz sit for us anytime!

Christina is the best house and pet sitter that we have ever had.  She leaves the house immaculate. She is independent, reliable, and totally professional. Communication is excellent. In terms of pet care, Christina is special.  I think that she is a dog whisperer.  Bridie, our crazy Wheaten, adores her and is sad when she leaves.
