Trustworthy couple to look after your pets and home.
We have used Wendy and Dave several times and they are the best! Our cats get more attentive care from them than they do from us, and our apartment is always left spotless. We have been very blessed to have them.

We'd love to care for your pets and home!
Emily and Chris were exceptional housesitters. We shared dinner with them the night before our departure and found them delightful, smart and caring people. When we were away they sent sweet photos, one of which Chris was petting our blissfully happy senior cat. Upon our return the house was very clean, the kitties relaxed and a gift of coffee from them! We would be so happy to have them sit for us again in the future!

Can Do!
Dawn was an amazing house sitter. She handled issues that arose efficiently so I didn't feel I needed to "fix it". She communicated as needed and replied to any inquiries I made promptly. She left the apartment spotless. A great sitter.

Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened.
We were very lucky & thrilled to be able to welcome back Jim & Lana to look after our three boys and the house for a second time and for our longest trip away so far (5 weeks). It is a real pleasure when away for such an extended period (for us at least) to have the comfort of knowing the boys are happy and the house cared for. Even better to come home to chilled doggies & a clean house. Jim & Lana are great communicators, very experienced with property & pets and lovely people, who again made us feel at ease and definitely bonded with our boys. No surprise at all that they have so many fantastic reviews on top of ours and we absolutely recommend them, while also hoping that our future vacation plans and their commitments coincide again and we can welcome them back. Thank you both x

Reliable, quiet pet lover, treating your pet how I'd want my pet to be cared for
Heather was a wonderful housesitter. From our first FaceTime meeting to a virtual walk through of the house before we left for our trip, she was attentive to details about Cinnamon and the house. She was reliable and left the house in great shape. We could tell by the pics, texts and note she left for us that she connected with our quirky cat. We would highly recommend her.

Responsible, clean, experienced, loving pet and house sitter available
Another five-star sit with Meta. This was our second time to have Meta sit with our kitties and our home. She wrangles in the cats just fine. Even Chai who gave her a bad time the first couple of days (again). Meta persevered and won her over and they were fast friends after that! We arrived home exhausted from our trip and Meta made us a lovely simple dinner with vegetables from the garden. Meta is tidy and organized and and left the house clean and welcoming and with some homemade goodies for us to enjoy over the next few weeks. This was our second time we were lucky enough to have Meta sit for us ( over 3 weeks each time) and look forward to having her stay again one day! You will be lucky to have Meta care for your home and pets.

Responsible, professional woman who loves pets, nature, and traveling
Sandra was an excellent sitter - we came back to a happy contented cat, a spotless house and a lovely welcome home card and message. Sandra sent us daily photos and updates on Ziggy which we greatly appreciated. I hope Sandra can cat sit for us again and I have no hesitation in recommending her.

Playful, outdoorsy and chill'n - respectful & reliable - exploring western US.
Theresa was great at communicating, asking for clarification when it was needed and for keeping our home in good shape. She sent photos of our cats, & spoke lovingly about them. You'd be lucky to have her at your home!

LOVE from an Animal-Hugging Adventurer!
Writing another review about Cynthia is so easy. She has been sitting for me for three years now. She was my first Pet/housesitter, how lucky am I to have the opportunity to know this incredible woman? She is a smiley vivacious person with a heart of gold. My dogs, chickens, goats, and horses love her which tells me they are spoiled with love and attention when I am away. My home is always spotless when I get home and smells like freshly baked bread that she makes just for me as a welcome home gift. The animals are happy and healthy and the barn is in perfect order. I never worry about anything when I am away because she can handle this tremendous job. I would recommend her to anyone wanting a spectacular person to be in charge of their home and pets. Cynthia also has incredible talent in pottery and made me the most beautiful coffee cup. I love and cherish it! Cynthia if you are reading this I want you to know how much I appreciate you in my life. You have a friend in me. I hope you continue to come back over the years. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you do for me. Deb

Pet loving couple eager to care for your fur babies while you're gone
This was only our second sit so we are still figuring out how things work. We reached out to Suzanne and Jim about sitting after other applicants had declined for various reasons. We also recruited our first sitter last year. They were positive and willing to make the long trip west to us and interested in exploring the area. Lola was well cared for during their stay which was the most important thing. As in other reviews, some cleaning tasks did not get completed.
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.
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!!
Such a great family! George, Larissa and their crew were a fantastic bunch. Our large senior dog got an eye infection right before we left for our trip and so we had to ask them to do some extra eye care. When it was clear that it wasn’t getting better they were willing to load up Lorax and take him to a vet appointment and then apply the prescribed ointment for the next week and a half. Definitely above and beyond care that we really appreciated! Our house was left in great shape, our pets were super well cared for, and George and Larissa were great communicators. We have had many many sitters over the past 3 years but this was the first family. Nothing to worry about, they were terrific and we would happily have them back again. Thanks for taking such good care of our fury family and our home!
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!
Stephanie, Brian and baby Martin took fabulous care of our home and pets for two weeks. From the outset, communication was quick, smooth and friendly and it was clear that both Stephanie and Brian are reliable, professional and warm sitters who take all the various elements of a sit seriously. They kept us up to date with photos and messages, dealt proactively and competently with any unexpected issues that popped up, and most importantly showered our dogs and gerbils with attention and care throughout the time we were away. We returned to a spotlessly clean home (with thoughtful touches of fresh milk, bacon and bread waiting for us) and happy, settled pets. In short, we would recommend Stephanie and Brian to anyone looking for reliable, attentive and proactive sitters for their pets and home. We would be delighted to welcome them back for another sit, should they ever find themselves in the area again.
Alia is a wonderful furbaby sitter and also a wonderful person. It is our privilege to have her for the 3rd time. She keeps us informed, our dogs love her, and she even cooked dinner and left it for us. The house was perfect when she left.
Oh my Goodness! Where to begin. Linda was the perfect house sitter for us and the perfect pet sitter for Olivia! She is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. When we returned from out two week vacation all our plants were alive, the garden was alive, the birds and fish had been fed regularly, and the dog was alive and happy! What more can you ask for, right? Well with Linda you get all that and more. Updates as you request - even videos of her morning walks with Olivia. The house as spotless as we left it, maybe even better! Even the porches were clean! Linda is a genuine treasure and our recommendation would be 10 stars if there were that many!!
Alia is truly the most wonderful, loving and kind dog sitter I have used. My husky LOVES her. Not to mention whenever I travel and return home, my apartment is neat and orderly. She even baked a treat for me on my return! I highly recommend Alia. She has sat for me several times and I can't wait to use her again. Thanks Alia! Me and Grey love having you:)
Liz did an amazing job babysitting our home and our pets (3 cats and a dog). Communication with Liz was easy and we felt at ease knowing that everything was being taken care of. Liz took our dog Summer for daily walks and kept her entertained. We got regular photos of our pets which were great. She even looked after and watered many of our outdoor and indoor plants! She was very tidy and our home was left spotless. If you are looking for a sitter we can't recommend Liz highly enough!
Lori and Joe took great care of our two dogs and tow cats while we were gone. Our plans changed and we actually asked if they could come a day before we had originally planned to leave and they said no problem! They even stayed over on the night we got home so that we could meet them which was very nice! Lori was very good with communication before the house sit and also during the time they were here. She let us they had arrived safely and then sent us a short text or pictures every day of the animals. The house looked cleaner than when we left it when we got home! Lori and Joe were great house sitters and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them!
