We were so fortunate that Melanie was available to stay with our 15-year-old cat, Little Bits for 12 days. Our sweet female calico has gotten older and a little more frail dealing with hyperthyroidism. My husband and I were concerned yet hopeful that we’d find the right person to look after her needs. Well, Melanie was a gem; we didn't have a single worry the entire time we were away. We were also very grateful that she was able to arrive the evening before we left so we could go over things in the house and get acquainted. We knew instantly Bits would be in excellent hands. Melanie was watchful and very attentive. Her communication was beyond exceptional and we loved getting updates with photos of our girl. It was obvious that Little Bits was very happy with her new friend. When we returned we found our home clean and in perfect order. Melanie did an amazing job!

Ed did a great job with our dog, Sadie. The house looked like no one had been there and Sadie really took to him. Thanks, Ed

Always a dream to have Robin come and sit for my cat Zoe! Great communication, daily updates and pics, and I can tell my kitty is a happy girl when I get home. (Plus, the house is always spotless!) Couldn't recommend more highly! Thanks, Robin!

Helen was responsive and willing to sit with only a few weeks' notice. She came a bit earlier than we had originally requested and left the house cleaner than it was before. Cricket was excited to see them and I felt completely at ease with their care. She sent several photos even though it was only a 24-hour sit. Very pleased.

Carlinda and Kent were the absolute best sitters for our three dogs. We are rarely able to get away for an extended period of time. Carlinda and Kent provided the best care we could have asked for. While we were away, one of our pups needed some medical attention....we simply lucked out by having such amazing caregivers...from vet appointments to constant updates, we knew that we had nothing to worry about. We would HIGHLY recommend Carlinda and Kent and truly hope that we can have them back.....our boys miss them ;-)

We are so thankful to have met Kathy and Mike! They were amazing from start to finish. They had excellent communication throughout the whole process. The dogs loved them immediately. Kathy frequently sent pictures of the dogs. We are thankful our dogs got to share some love and joy. I have never come home to such happy, calm animals. We suspect Mike spent more time on the floor than in a chair. Kathy and Mike made me feel secure for this first sit with Zeewoi. We talked, texted and got pictures. They gladly came the night before so we could get an early start. They were easy to talk to, and genuinely kind. I wish we lived closer to these new friends. BONUS: We came home to a perfectly clean house!

Mae and Ted were wonderful! They took great care of our pets and home and we had a lot of yard watering because we had newly planted trees and plants and no rain! We also had a situation where our hot water heater died literally the night before they arrived and they had to put up with that over a holiday weekend until it was repaired on Tuesday. They are professional, very self sufficient and left our home looking beautiful. I recommend them highly for any situation, we will certainly request them again if the need arises. Thanks Mae and Ted!

We are so pleased to have had Jason and Bethany in our home. They are truly animal lovers -- it showed in every communication we had with them. We think Paige and Loki were actually disappointed when we arrived home instead of them. LOL! They also took extra time to carefully manage Paige's food intake. We feed her carefully measured amounts (to maintain her weight) and schedule when she eats so she doesn't throw it all up. Jason and Bethany followed these requests and Paige was happy and healthy because of it. They have been homeowners themselves for years and kept an experienced eye on our home. They even spotted a minor leak from our dishwasher and we appreciate that level of care. We'd give them 6 stars if we could. We hope that Jason and Bethany return to sit for our kitties Paige and Loki. They are welcome anytime.
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!!!
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!
Our dog loved Angela, as did we! She was friendly, efficient, handled our large, happy bernadoodle effectively and with love...we could not have asked for a better dog sitter and would be happy to have her back.
Liz was a fantastic sitter for our boys and took great care of our home. She was a great communicator and kept us informed of what was happening and how our dogs were doing. She also kept our home clean and tidy. We would be grateful to have Liz sit for us anytime!
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 🙂
Susan and Jim were amazing sitters for my 2 boys whilst I went to Portugal to play golf. Communication we had prior to the sit was excellent, and we were able to discuss the dogs in detail. They arrived the day before I was due to leave so we were able to have a good handover. They really looked after the dogs well, and my house was immaculate when I returned. I can't recommend them highly enough, just wished they lived in the UK so I could use them on a regular basis. Thank you Susan and Jim xx
Christina is the best house and pet sitter that we have ever had. She leaves the house immaculate. She is independent, reliable, and totally professional. Communication is excellent. In terms of pet care, Christina is special. I think that she is a dog whisperer. Bridie, our crazy Wheaten, adores her and is sad when she leaves.
Charlie was again an outstanding sitter for us whilst we were away at a wedding. This is the second time having Charlie and although we have not met face to face we completely trust her with our home and of course our cat, Nala. Charlie left the house spotless which is amazing to come home to after a long day of travelling. She is reliable, good at communicating and trustworthy and we would not hesitate to recommend her enough. Thanks again Charlie, we hope you come back again and there might even be a dog next time😁
To this list of attributes I would add flexible, capable, sensitive, extremely good with the dogs even if one of mine is sometimes a little ornery, and just a wonderful person all around. Because of constantly changing circumstances due to a move and coronavirus, my dogs ended up spending not two weeks but a whole month with John and they were so comfortable and happy. John helped them in so many ways and coordinated shipping them overseas, he went above and beyond the wildest stretches of what a house sitter entails and did it with a smile and a laugh and reassurances that all would be well. And indeed he was absolutely right - the dogs arrived so well cared for that all my fears of them being traumatized went out the window. John’s flexibility, and his kindness as well as his impeccable maintenance of my house in my absence all make me recommend him an absolute 10 out of 10. Thank you John for all your help this summer!!

Alia is awesome and we have used her several times. She is a 5 star rated sitter every time. The dogs are happy and the house is perfect when we get home. She even cooked dinner for our arrival home because we came home late. Highly recommend Alia!!
