Richard and Lorraine were fantastic house and petsitters, who kept our energetic puppy well entertained while we were away. In spite of the rising tide of pandemic fear, and a strong (and understandable) desire to head home to Canada, they made sure our pets were well cared for until our return. They kept us well informed with emails and photos, and were also just lovely people. I would invite them back with no reservations.

Shannon and Kendall were brilliant. A lovely couple who we enjoyed meeting. Really happy to have them looking after the house and dog. Communication pre and during the stay was really good. We Ruby dog got lots of attention and clearly loved them. Returned home to a happy dog, clean house and fantastic supper on the table. We would thoroughly recommend them. Top sitters.

Trudie and Bill looked after Pip for 5 days and were very attentive to his needs. They have a senior dog so realised the extra work involved. They were very easy guests and gave Pip all the attention he needs in his old age. Many thanks to you both, we’d love to have you back again,

Alex contacted us early about travel plans and house questions because she wanted everything to go smoothly for us all, and her communication was great before and during the sit. We were so glad to meet her in person before and after the sit, as she is warm and friendly and we felt totally confident at once that she would be a super sitter. She went above and beyond in preparing the house for our return, even leaving food and wine for us, which was not at all expected and was so kind. Riley enjoyed having her here, and we would welcome her back any time. We totally recommend her as a sitter on all levels.

Great experience, from the intro to the sitting. Sam is supper easy to communicate with, he replies quickly and always provides all the information needed. They arrived on time as scheduled, were clear about their plans and overall super reliable. I felt very comfortable leaving Ginger with Sam and Anna, and will do it again if the opportunity arises. The apartment was clean and everything in place. Thank you guys!!

Mary and Rob were amazing sitters while we were away for the week. They were super easy to communicate with leading up to our week away. During our vacation they sent updates and pictures to let us know everything was going well. They took such great care of my house and left it in perfect and clean condition. But most importantly I know they took such great care of our dog Maverick and that he was well loved and spoiled while we were away. I would have them back anything and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a house sitter. Thank you both so much!!

Robert had a lot on his plate taking care of our place for 5 weeks. Two horses, a cat and a vegetable garden as well as a large lawn requiring regular cutting. He took care of the animals and vegetable garden with love and care. The house was neat and tidy when we arrived home. We are very thankful we found someone that was capable and willing to take care of our home, animals and property while we were away.

Bob and Marion were wonderful! Our younger dog is a bit anxious and is usually nervous around new people but she warmed up to them right away. They sent pictures of their lovely walks with the dogs, were very clean, and they even tidied up our not-so-tidy garden. We highly recommend them!

Kelly was an excellent sitter for us. She communicated well, before the sit and during the sit. When we got home, the dogs and our guinea pig were happy and well. Kelly was dependable and showed up exactly on time. The house was well maintained and clean when we arrived home. We would definitely host Kelly again.

Denise was by far the best pet sitter we have ever had! She watched our two pups while we were gone for 3 weeks and took amazing care of our dogs and home. She took the time to ask questions and make sure she understood each dog’s needs as well as how to take the best care of our house before we left. She sent videos everyday updating us on how the pups were doing. We were so happy to see how much quality time she was spending with them and how much they loved her. Our dogs were so sad to see her leave and we can’t wait to have her back. Denise made sure that the house was in perfect condition when she left and treated our home as if it were her own. If you are looking for a pet sitter, look no further. Highly recommend Denise!

From her promptness to schedule a pre-sit call to her truly thorough tidying of our house, Stella was an amazing housesitter from start to finish!!
She read all the info we put together ahead of time, and asked for clarification on just a few things which made us confident that the pup and the house were in good shape :)
Stella was really gracious when we admitted to not having a coffee pot, and handling things calmly when there was an incident with street parking. 
Maybe most importantly though our dog Luke was calm when we came home. I think if future sitters are clear in their expectations around frequency of communication/photos and the dogs needs then Stella is the perfect person to exceed your expectations!

David was a great sitter for our dog! It was just him for this sit. He was very communicative before, during, and after the stay. He visited the apartment before we left to meet our dog and talk with us, and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and confident that our dog was in good hands. He sent us updates throughout the stay, and left the apartment in great condition. While our dog is on the older side, he can still be a handful at times, but David didn’t seem to have any problems. Would definitely recommend David for any future sit!

Ray and Lynn were excellent sitters for Moose! They took him out multiple times a day and always played with him. They sent so many pictures and Moose always looked so happy! They were very flexible on when they arrived and left and very organized. 

The house was left clean and tidy and we found a happy dog when we got home. We would definitely have them back anytime!

If we could give 10 out of 5 stars for Candace, Brian, and Chris, we would!  They were amazing house and dog sitters for Brown Dog and Scout. They were so accommodating with our timeline and had read our welcome guide to a tee!  It was so reassuring being gone for 2 weeks and knowing our pups were in amazing hands. They sent us daily updates and pictures and it was clear the dogs were so well cared for!  They left the house very clean and even had all of our bedding and towels washed for us when we arrived home. Would absolutely recommend them for a sit and would love to have them back again any time!

Cindy was great, couldn’t have asked for a better sitter experience! Communication was great both before and during the sit. Cindy was really helpful and flexible with arrival and departure arrangements. I came back to a happy dog and a well cared for house, can thoroughly recommend 🙂

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!

They took very good care of my pets which involved feeding cats twice daily, fish once or twice a day and filling up fountain for birds. Animals were healthy and happy when I returned. Nothing was lost or broken, and Diane even found a lost grinder part that had fallen into the cats food while I was using it. They are a pleasant couple. 

They were invited from Wednesday to Sunday.  They arrived on Monday so had 3 days instead of one to learn the pets routine. They also informed me that they wouldn't be leaving until Monday morning, but that worked out well since I was mistaken about the end date of my cruise and couldn't get home until Monday. Everything was left neat, but I had minor housekeeping to do (clean sink, fingerprints off glass table, sweep floor). They are older than stated on the profile, which they said only allows 65 as a top age. 68 and 73. Bruce has health problems that requires he sleeps sitting up in a chair that has a leg lift, which luckily I had, so he slept in my living room. They are fine caring for cats, but my friend with a dog decided to find another sitter rather than leave him with them (she was going to pay) because they seem somewhat frail.

You could not ask for better house and pet sitters than Ken and Jane! 

Before the sit: Communicating with Ken and Jane prior to our scheduled week went smoothly. They were proactive about planning. They came out to the house prior to the sit and spent a couple of hours going over things about the house, meeting the pets, and getting familiar and comfortable with everything. They were delightful people to meet; I was wishing for a couple of days to just hang out and play tourist with them!

During the sit: Ken and Jane sent me daily updates and photos of their outings with my pups and with their interactions with my kitties. I appreciated how they chose the sit partly because of their love of exploring rural areas, because that's what I have here! They were perfectly suited to my home and pets. Ken absolutely loves cats and is an intuitive and experienced kitty-handler. Jane really bonded with one of my kitties; both of them made great progress with all three of my cats, each of which is pretty shy at first, and one can be a real problem child. They worked very hard to give love to each pet and ensure that each felt calm, happy, and cared for. They spend tons of time outdoors with my border collie/retrievers. The dogs had daily "spa time" after walks and outdoor playtime, having their long fur brushed on my front porch (which the dogs love!). They sent me happy photos every day. If anything came up, they just handled it. They really seemed to enjoy their adventures and the pets each day, which made my time away that much more enjoyable.

After the sit: I was thankful to have some time with Ken and Jane when I returned from my trip. All the pets were calm, happy, and healthy when I got home. Ken and Jane had left me a detailed note about that last day to make re-entry easy. They sweetly left a thank you note and a bottle of wine on the kitchen table also (a very sweet and unexpected surprise!). They seemed quite sad to leave my "kids;" Jane left with tears in her eyes, saying goodbye to my dogs. We've kept in touch since the sit. My whole house really misses them. Oh, and the house was immaculate and plants all watered (inside and out) when I got home! 

If you're looking for kind, competent, caring, organized and responsible people to care for your home and pets, invite Ken and Jane!
