Noelene
Penguin, Australia
Look no further
Noelene and Udo are exceptional house sitters and five stars is not enough. They looked after our border collie with love, care and affection. The house was impeccable and they mowed the lawn and weeded the garden! Tess, the border collie, had lots of walks and stick retrieving and was very relaxed when we got home. We cannot recommend Noelene and Udo highly enough.
Sue
Penguin, Australia
Experienced , active ,newly retired couple in our 60's
Sue & Mark took great care of our cat Keeko during our week-long vacation. Their evident love for animals was immediately apparent, and Keeko warmed up to them quickly, which put us at ease. We greatly appreciated their flexibility in arriving a day earlier, especially given our early flight the next day. This allowed us to discuss Keeko's routine and ensure a smooth transition. Returning home to a tidy house was a relief, and Sue's initiative in starting a load of laundry was a thoughtful touch. Overall, Sue & Mark's care for Keeko was reliable and attentive, and we felt confident knowing our pet was in capable hands. We would certainly consider entrusting them with our cat-sitting needs again in the future.

Very fit and active couple, who love life.
Just amazing! I had to leave earlier than expected so didn't get a chance to meet Christina and Malcolm in person. But they looked after my animals amazingly and left the house cleaner than when I left! Highly recommend

Our house was left immaculate. Dogs clearly loved them
Kathleen
Penguin, Australia
experienced Canadian dog-lover who appreciates new places!
Kathleen was a delight. She came a night early which gave us all the chance to get to know her, including Haali. I lent her the car and it came back clean and full of petrol. She also made a good connection with the dog walkers in the neighbourhood who all spoke highly of her. Haali was very content and obviously looked after well. I don’t think she’s as natural with plants, as we lost two indoor ones. I would have her again gratefully.
Vivienne
Penguin, Australia
Viv and Graham - here to give your pets the TLC they need whilst you're away!
Vivienne is a great sitter and ALFIE was super happy to have their compnay and walks
Joel
Penguin, Australia
G’day! We’re Joel and Dana, A Young Aussie Couple With A Backpack And A Dream!
Joel and Dana were the BEST housesitters we've ever had. They went above and beyond to take care of a fire hazard while we were gone involving the power lines and kept us updated with the progress. We came home to a pup who acted like we hadn't abandoned him to strangers (a rarity!) and a freshly cleaned house!!! They left us the sweetest note and even though I know they probably won't ever house sit for us again, I'll never forget their thoughtfulness and kindness. You absolutely COULD NOT GO WRONG having these two house and pet sit for you.
Aleks
Penguin, Australia
Non-smoking, fun, multi-skilled couple - Mr Fixit and the Pet Whisperer! As soon
Aleks and Sharon were the perfect house sitters! They arrived in Hobart a day early just to meet us and Jasmin - this was much appreciated. Sharon sent us regular photos and texts giving us lots of evidence that Jaz was well, happy and being utterly pampered!! This included a very cute short video of Jaz having a bath because she had dug in the garden and got herself completely filthy! Aleks seems to have a lovely gentle touch with animals which Jaz responded to very well. Both Sharon and Aleks seemed to form a very good bond with Jaz and it was very comforting to see how happy Jaz was with their company. In addition Sharon is a keen gardener and offered to plant some of our seedlings for us. She also kept all our plants alive and well. All in all a wonderful experience - and they topped this off by washing their linen and leaving their bedroom and the home beautifully tidy. We can thoroughly recommend Aleks and Sharon :)
Javiera
Penguin, Australia
Reliable Home & Pet Care
Javiera was an absolute blessing, both Bracken and BB settled really quickly with her and Nataneal. Not only did they take great care of the dog and cat (regular updates and some terrific photographs) but the house was spotless and the plants were all well tended, they even mowed the lawn. Would highly recommend this lovely couple
Ellie
Penguin, Australia
Honest and reliable professional couple.
Ellie has previously completed a house/pet sit in April with her husband at our home in Melbourne. This visit Ellie came on her own to care for Nelson our 6 year old Labrador and our very old cat Tiff and four egg producing chickens. Unfortunately for Ellie she arrived during a particularly wet and cold week in Melbourne. Despite this Ellie walked Nelson every day, and the chickens produced eggs! Maybe Tiff hibernated as she’s a cranky old thing! Despite finding a couple of our appliances complicated, a quick text resolved the issues. Our home was left tidy and Ellie even put linens on for washing when she was leaving very early on her final day. Ellie happily obliged us and arrived the evening before our departure so we could meet her and go over the routine in person. We appreciated this and we were pleased to finally meet her. She is a conscientious and considerate person and we both wish her all the very best with her work and studies and of course her future house sitting opportunities.
Reviews from Dog Owners
Lauren
Kathleen was a fantastic sitter and Olive and Noodle miss her already. She was great about sending pictures and updates - never had to ask anything, she always beat us to it. She didn't assume anything that wasn't clearly stated - always asked us beforehand. She was great with our dogs - they immediately bonded with her and didn't want to leave her side. We really appreciated being able to go away and not worry about our pets' welfare, we knew immediately they were being so well taken care of. We hope to host Kathleen again soon!!
Tamar
Julia was an amazing house sitter and dog sitter! She sent me photos and updates every day, she took my pup Jordan on long walks and gave him the love, care, and patience that he needs. She was so easy and comfortable to communicate with and she left the house so clean and tidy for when I came back. Definitely recommend her!!!
Abby
David and Elynn were fabulous pet sitters and house sitters. Our dog and rabbit were well-taken care of, the house was left even cleaner than when they arrived! I would highly recommend David and Elynn, and would happily have them again! David and Elynn took excellent care of our dog Cosmo and our rabbit Oreo. They made sure they were happy, well-fed, and got exercise and fresh air! We were very happy to receive several photos of our furry friends while we were away. They took amazing care of the house and yard, and were very open with communication. If they were uncertain of anything or had a question, they were very open about reaching out! David and Ellyn were wonderful houseguests, who left the house even cleaner than they found it! I would highly recommend David and Elynn and their two adorable children. They are wonderful, respectful people who definitely love animals and will give your pets and home lots of care! Thank you!! :)
Nathalia
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.
Annaliese
Janet and Bob were great to our pups and our home! They were our first sitters so we weren’t really sure what we were getting into, but they made it an awesome experience! They are coming back to stay with our dogs again in August. Definitely trust them with your fur babies!! 🐾🐶
Allyson
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!

Lisa and Matt were absolutely fantastic sitters for us and our dog, Moose. Not only were they flexible when our flight was changed last minute, they also were able to stay an extra day to accommodate the changes. They communicated with us promptly during the scheduling and planning process for the housesit. They arrived on time on the (re)scheduled day. They acclimated to our dog very quickly and gave us piece of mind as we left by taking him on a walk to avoid his separation anxiety. We chatted every day and exchanged photos of Moose playing at the beach and in the yard. He was so happy! No problems were encountered with the house. Even our neighbors commented on how friendly and kind Lisa and Matt both were and how they really cared for Moose. The house was spotless when we returned. Everything in proper order, better than we left it. We can't thank them enough for the excellent experience!
Marcel
Mikayla was a superb house/dog sitter for us for one full week. She was an excellent communicator, very quiet and tidy (respectful of the space) and best of all she quickly bonded with our big dog Mouse. She cheerfully took her for long walks and shared photo updates regularly. I highly recommend Mikayla.
Stephanie
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.
Anne
The two-leggeds and four-legged members of this household give Tess a 5-star rating! We think she's one of the best sitters you will find - highly communicative, friendly, competent, reliable, and great with pets. Tess was also flexible about start and end dates to accomodate possible winter weather complications. For this sit, Tess was able to bring along her mom, Cathy. Tess introduced me to Cathy during one of our Skype conversations prior to the sit. It was a bonus to have her here with Tess. Their travel to Marquette was complicated by weather. A fierce winter storm swept across Michigan just before the sit. It took Tess and Cathy two days to drive here but they arrived, as promised, in time for us to fly out early the next morning. We even had time for a lovely dinner together and to introduce them to the dogs and house. We left the next day and never had a moment's worry while Tess and Cathy were caring for our pets and home. Tess sent us regular updates and photos. The dogs immediately accepted them as great new additions to their pack of friends - even our cranky, old chihuahua, Nike! We returned to happy pets and a spotlessly clean home. We plan to invite Tess (and Cathy if available) to return for future sits. Thank you, Tess and Cathy!
