This was our second house sit with Hannah and David. As was the case last time, we came home to such a happy, exercised, fit and well-loved Riley. Riley couldn’t decide who to go to next for pets and loves between the four of us. The house was spotless and even with an early morning flight the morning after our return, the beds were stripped and the trash was taken out. Riley got to go places with David and Hannah. They took her to Bark at the Park, they took her to early dinners at outdoor restaurants and they took her on new hikes. There was plenty of cuddle time and we received photos that kept us up to date on their adventures and quiet time. Honestly, we didn’t need to check in but felt totally comfortable with Riley’s care (free to be on vacation) during our three week trip abroad. As many of you will know, who have fur babies that they adore, this is saying something!! Thanks David and Hannah!! We welcome you back any time!!

Lee and Stuart were excellent pet sitters! They loved our dog Brooklyn and she loved them. They kept us updated on her and made sure she was well taken care of. They were very neat and our house was in perfect condition when we came home. I would be happy to have them sit again.

Prashant and India were so lovely to work with, they even came to town the night before my trip to make sure the pups would be comfortable with them. Prashant helped with training my younger dog and they gave me some great recommendations. They also took excellent care of my apartment and are the sweetest people. Would love to have them again any time.

Robin was as wonderful as all the other reviews have covered. She was very communicative and worked very hard to make sure our sulky dog ate, which we really appreciated. Both our dog and our cat immediately warmed to her and decided she was a friend, which I think is always a great judge of character!

Margi won my trust and confidence in her from my first online meeting with her and was true to her word throughout our interaction. She understood how to treat my rather feisty Siamese from the beginning and I never had a moments worry about the cat while she was looking after her. She was undaunted by facing the challenge of the wettest winter on record in Cape Town and struck a good balance between using her own initiative and communicating with me about issues. I can recommend Margi as a pet and house sitter without hesitation.

We couldn’t have asked for better cat sitters for our two kitties. They took great care of our house and our pets, and they were communicative and tidy. We’d have them back any time — and we’d highly recommend them!

Kent and Kathy were just terrific!! They took care of our home as if it was there own as well as taking care of our fur babies. Their communication was spot on, every time we called they answered right away to assure us that Sweet Pea and Rufus were getting along just fine. I can't believe that Kathy even made home made soup that was waiting for us when we returned home. This was so appreciated after being on the road for as long as we were. We can't say enough about how pleased we were of our house sitters. We would welcome Kathy and Kent anytime for a return sit.

Corrin and her mother took wonderful care of our pets. She arrived right on schedule, kept in touch with us with pictures and left our house spotless with very happy pets. We had the pleasure of meeting them both before we departed on our trip and immediately knew that our pets would be in great hands! We would definitely use them for future sits and highly recommend them!

Erica watched my senior dog and cat for 12 days while I was traveling internationally. She was organized, responsive, and took excellent care of both my animals and my apartment while I was away. She sent me photos during the stay and my pets absolutely adored her. She has watched my pets before and I always trust her to take excellent care of them. 

Traveling internationally and leaving my pets in the care of a sitter always makes me a little nervous, since I won't always be immediately reachable. However, Erica's communication and obvious competency made me feel very comfortable about leaving my pets in her care while I was away. It's very obvious she adores spending time with the pets and caring for them.

I came home to a clean apartment and very happy and healthy pets. I would highly recommend Erica for any of your sits!

We could not have asked for a better house sitter than Myria!  She is kind, personable, organized, responsible communicative and more...She read all of our instructions before arriving and asked lots of questions about our pups to make sure she understood their personalities and schedules.  You can tell she truly is a dog lover.  Myria provided regular updates and we felt 100% confident leaving our dogs in her care.  We came back to a home that was spotless - you could hardly tell she had been here.  I'd highly recommend Myria as your next zeewoi!

Brian was a wonderful sitter for our 11 year old dog and also took great care of our home. He sent me pictures every day and let me know how Macklin was doing which always helps ease my mind. Our home was clean and tidy when we returned and everything in its place. I'd recommend Brian to anyone looking for excellent care by a friendly person!

Lea is seriously the best! We lucked out big time with her as our house sitter. She didn't just watch our home; she made it sparkle, and our dog Mezy? Well, he fell head over paws for her!

Mezy's doesn't always warm up to new folks so easily but Lea had this magical charm that had him wagging his tail from day one. She showered him with cuddles and playtime, and we got daily photo updates that were basically cuteness overload.

But Lea didn't stop at being the dog whisperer. Every nook and cranny was squeaky clean, and it felt like we were walking into a Pinterest-worthy home. Our plants thrived under her care too.

Communication was a breeze with Lea. She kept us in the loop about everything and replied to our messages super quickly. It gave us peace of mind knowing she had everything under control.

Lea's not just a house sitter - her friendly, laid-back vibe made everything so easy. We can't thank her enough for taking such great care of Mezy and our home. We're definitely booking her for all our future adventures.

If you want your pets to adore your house sitter and come back to a spotless home, Lea is the one to call. Thanks a million, Lea!

We loved Misty!!!! She was absolutely the most perfect baby sitter for our dog and an amazing short term tenant at our house. Not only did she keep the house clean but she even washed everything she used before we got home. We even got a couple gifts from her. She is such a sweet human, kept in contact with us while we were gone and sent videos of the hikes and walks they went on. I would 100% ask her to stay at our house 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!

Duha was such a light to have in our home while we were away. She kept us updated with beautiful photos of our dogs throughout her stay and didn’t leave their side once. I’ve never felt so comfortable with any other sitter and I truly hope this won’t be the last time she sits for us.

Lynn and Ray were fabulous sitters, going above and beyond to take care of our home, yard, and rambunctious pup. Leaving him for three weeks was very difficult but we felt confident once we met them. They are great communicators, very professional, capable of handling any situation, and personable. Since they are fully self-contained in their van, they arrived a day early so we could show them the place, have our dog Bailey get comfortable with them (that was immediate ☺), and get to know them over dinner together. While on our trip, they sent us daily photos of Bailey, which we really appreciated, and updates on their activities. They took him hiking almost every day and kept him well exercised. 
Any issues that came up (e.g., our irrigation water ran dry a couple weeks in) they communicated to us and we were able to resolve them quickly. They also harvested ripe berries and squash for us and even harvested and dried tomatoes in our dryer. We spent our entire trip feeling assured that all things were being taken care of and feel ever so grateful that we found Lynn and Ray through TH. We returned from our trip to a house that was thoroughly cleaned (better than we left it ☺), with fresh sheets on the bed, and a happy dog. Five-star sitters for sure!

Lisa was a terrific sitter for our sweet Rosie.  She arrived the evening before the sit, and we immediately could tell how much love and attention Rosie was to get.  She provided updates and pictures which we were delighted to read, and we could tell Rosie was happy and well-cared for with Lisa on their walks and fetching sessions, on their car rides, and during Rosie’s many daily naps.  Lisa left the house in great condition, she’s very tidy and clean. Lisa’s experience with dogs and her friendly, sweet personality makes her an excellent sitter taking good care of animals while also being easy to communicate with.  I would recommend her and would gladly invite her back.

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.
