We could not have asked for anyone better. Our pets loved her and they were very happy left in her capable hands. Our neighbours thought she was brilliant and so did we. We would love her to come back and highly recommend Nicole. She left the house in impeccable condition and looked after our new puppy superbly.

Sian and Geena were wonderful with Sadie. Sadie takes some care and attention to warm up to new people and she warmed right up to them. They were communicative, clean and very kind. Highly recommend as sitters again.

Chelsea and her partner came over to Queenstown to look after Harry and Matai the weekend for us, and my parent dog Stitch last minute! They were great to have in the house, clean and tidy, and great communicators. Thanks ladies!

Karen and Andrew were so easy to communicate with - they were flexible and helpful with timings and arrangements. My small dog was on antibiotics by the time they arrived and they managed her medication effectively with no fuss. Very kind, gentle, self sufficient people who clearly have a great rapport with dogs of all shapes and sizes. Every thing was left beautifully clean and tidy and I would welcome them both back any time.

Gary and Peter did a fantastic job of looking after our dogs and our house. The house was spotlessly clean on our return, the dogs were clearly happy and loving the attention that Gary and Peter were giving them. They had tidied up areas of the garden which we hadn't managed to get to this year and even had dinner ready for our return! We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them as house and pet sitters but will be trying our best to make sure we get them first!!

Paris did a great job looking after our cats and apartment. We had a couple of video calls with her before the sit, and she was in contact with us during her stay. Unfortunately because of travel times we were only able to meet at the bus station to do the key exchange but Paris followed all of our prior instructions. A highly recommended sitter!

Lisa and Stjepan looked after our home and 4 cats for 3 months this Spring . They were very organised with the move and asked lots of questions to familiarise theirselves with our routines etc . They were in regular communication while we were away , with lots of lovely photos and updates , and we felt very secure that our kids were being well cared for ...... I think they all fell a little in love with each other ! When we returned everything was clean and tidy ,and the cats were clearly content. We would 100 % recommend them .

Sally from the start of the process was fantastic given the distance from her home to the UK she put us at ease at every stage. The dogs had a fantastic time with her and bonded very easily. Leaving the dogs for the first time and also having someone in your house was a slight concern but after the way they were looked after and the care and consideration taken with the house I would not hesitate to use the service again.

Regina did a great job. Showed up exactly when planned. House was cleaner when I arrived home than when I left. She kept in touch to a perfect degree and the dogs were in great shape. Good sitter and would recommend

Michele is a great pet sitter for my dog Charley!  She keeps me informed and sends pictures.  I came home to an immaculate home!  I hope she will come back again.

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!

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.

Jasmine is a five-star sitter.  She is everything you want in a sitter when you go away and leave your beloved pet and home.  She is reliable, communicative, respectful, and flexible.  We had no worries about our dog or home while we were away, and will be having Jasmine sit for us again soon.  Our home was immaculate when we got home, and our dog was obviously well-cared-for.  Can't say enough good things about this wonderful human.

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.

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!

Shannon and Travis stepped up at the last minute when an earlier sitter canceled. Shannon and Travis took care our our large brood of animals for two weeks while we were out of the country over the Christmas holiday. They kept us informed about what was happening with the animals and our home. Our dog Pepper doesn’t like most people, but loved Travis and Shannon immediately. I would not hesitate to welcome Shannon and Travis back for another sit. They are very honest and friendly people. Their dog Dime is also awesome.

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.
