Once again, Barbara and Erik knocked their pet sit out of the park. Truly trusted by our pets and us, they did a magnificent job making us feel free to travel without worries. They provided individual attention to each of our pets and followed the care instructions to the letter. Highly recommend to anyone who needs pet care while away from home.

Denise and Dennis have to be the best EVER house sitters! If you get the offer for them to come look after your pets don’t even hesitate to accept! They looked after my pets for 2 weeks while I was away and my little dog was poorly following an operation on his spine.. I couldn’t have left him with anyone else! They were completely unphased by the situation and took the responsibility very seriously, having had previous experience with poorly dogs. They sent me regular updates on Wilfs progress and lots of photos which meant I was able to relax and enjoy my holiday knowing he was in such good hands! Aside from their caring qualities, this Canadian couple are such fun, interesting genuine people, who enjoyed staying in my house which they treated with complete respect. We had a lovely evening at the pub with them and they welcomed us home with a cooked meal. I can’t thank them enough and would love to have them visit anytime ! Thank you Denise and Dennis :)

Dianne & Kevin were fantastic! Excellent communication to coordinate the housesit timing, pet care, and going over details about the house. I loved receiving pictures of our kitties while traveling. Between the communication and photos I wasn’t worried about being away and knew everything was in good hands. Coming home the house was just like I left it. Thank you guys for everything!

Kim was an amazing pet-sitter! She took great care of my cat and I came home to a super clean home. She had great communication throughout and was easy to coordinate with. I wouldn't hesitate to use her as a sitter again!

Helena and Andrew took care of our outdoor animals on our farm for just over 2 weeks. They were prompt to respond to messages before the sit and also while we were away. We live in our RV so the house sit was a bit unique but they embraced our alternative lifestyle and we came home to a sparkling clean and tidy RV. All our animals (puppy, kitties, chickens) were healthy and happy when we came home and they received the care they needed while we were away. On the first night there was a crazy wind storm that lifted one of our shelters and Helena and Andrew (with the help of our neighbors) had to put that shelter back together and Andrew went above and beyond and built us a new wooden shelf that had broken in the storm. We are so grateful for Helena and Andrew and that we had the freedom to go away as our property has lots of responsibilities!

Denise and Patrick were fabolous house and pet sitters and my dog Ayna absolutely loved them. The entire experience was wonderful. Ayna and I both connected with them immediately and they treated Ayna like a queen. They took her out on special trips so she could run of leash and sent me pictures about their adventures with her. I came back to a very relaxed and happy dog, and a super tidy home. I hope to have Denise and Patrick back for another house sit and can recommend them very much.

Kat and her friend were great sitters who took wonderful care of our dog. With an epileptic dog it can be nerve wracking to have someone new watch her but she sent us regular updates and checked in often! I would recommend doing a video call with them ahead of the sit to ensure you’re on the same page about sit/house rules and guidelines and overall needs for the sit. She’s a great sitter we would definitely recommend!

Emma and David arrived on time and it was clear the dogs felt really comfortable with them from the start. After we left for the airport, Emma sent us a photo of one of the cats rubbing up against David-normally the cats disappear for days when sitters arrive! They were a very friendly couple and the only reason I didn’t give them 5 stars was that they left pots and pans on the draining board which, because they are Le Crueset, rust at the top and rust the drainer. Cushions on the sofa were not plumped up after use but these are small things and perhaps I should have been clearer on what was expected.

This was our first experience with Jennifer and Paul and we are already looking forward to inviting them back. Jennifer and Paul stayed with us the night before we left which created a seamless transition for us and, most importantly for our lovely senior Labrador, Nessie. We were away just shy of a month. We had regular and amusing updates from Jennifer and Paul. They even took Nessie to the veterinarian for her shot so that she did not have to wait for our return. We did not have a minutes concern about her care which was superb in every aspect. We returned home to a happy and contented dog. In addition Jennifer and Paul took the initiative to plant lettuce and basil on our balcony as a surprise for our return. They maintained our home as I am sure they do their own and it was a joy to return to.

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.

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!

Emily  and  Chris were absolutely incredible house and pet sitters. They took care of our dog and two cats for 10 days and were some of the best sitters we've ever had. They took amazing care of all three animals -- giving medicine to our aging dog and managing to befriend our very shy cats on day one.  We received adorable picture and video updates each day and it was clear that the pets loved spending time with them. Additionally they left the house in pristine shape and were incredibly diligent in all aspects -- bringing in packages, taking out the trash and recycling, etc.  I can't recommend them highly enough!

Wendy was the perfect dog sitter and house sitter for us. She managed our house  and dog and in such a caring a responsible way. Wendy was prompt with communicating with us and managed situations that arose professionally. Our house was spotless and our dog happy  when arrived home. I knew everything thing was in good hands while we were away. I hope we can invited her to stay with us again.

Joanna and David were absolutely perfect!!!! This was my first actual time using a sitter and they went above and beyond what I expected.  I have a 1 year old Bully Breed that I adopted 6 weeks ago, so if you know dogs you know what they had to deal with :)) They sent pics daily and kept me updated.  We were not able to meet before I left but they were nice enough to stay to meet me when I returned.  My house was cleaner than when I left, all bedding and towels washed.  Charley, my dog, was happy to see me for a minute when I got home but immediately went back to play with David, so I am thinking she had a blast while I was gone.  I am totally sold with this process after having Joanna and David here.  If you have the chance to book them for your trip, you will not be sorry.  I am hoping to use them again when they return to Florida.

Romina and Ignas took amazing care of our two dogs and home while we were away!  One of our dogs, Beau, is extremely high energy and it takes a special person so make sure he gets enough mental and physical stimulation each day.  Romina kept us in the loop of his trips to parks and outdoor excursions.  She was very thoughtful and responsive during our time away.  

Additionally, our home was in pristine shape when we returned from our trip.  The rooms were clean and tidy and Romina left us such a thoughtful note. Romina and Ignas are top notch sitters and I'd highly recommend them to anyone with pets! 

Thank you so much, Romina and Ignas.  Our dogs were so well cared for and loved.

I was fortunate to have Lisa as a sitter for my active, 7-year old lab mix (Ozzy) for a week in Bend.   Lisa took the time to meet us via Facetime and in person before her stay.  It was apparent she wanted to be well-prepared and aware of any special doggie needs he may have, or any help I needed with watering plants or bringing in mail.   She took great care of Ozzy while I was away and sent me regular updates and photos of their outdoor adventures.  I returned home to a very happy dog and a house exactly as I had left it.  I'd welcome Lisa back anytime!

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.

Melissa and Chris are amazing.  We are very picky about our dog sitters, and we chose them because they have been doing this for a long time and track your wants and needs carefully and follow through with utmost care and integrity.   They offered to come the day before we left to meet Winnie so that we could rest in that she would trust them and connect to them.  Honestly, we would hire them as our only dog sitter all of the time if we could.  I cannot thank them enough and say enough good things about them.  They also took very good care of our house and  plants.

Angela was fantastic.  She came a day early to meet us and our dog Bella and to get the lay of the land and we so enjoyed meeting her and getting to know her!  She took care of our home and Bella with the utmost care and attention.  She was great to communicate with throughout the sit and we felt confidant being away knowing our dog and home were in such good hands! We returned to a clean house and she even prepared dinner for us!  It was clear that Bella was happy, well taken care of and very fond of her!!  We would definitely recommend Angela.  She was a reliable sitter and a delightful person all around!!
