We were so happy to have Hollie and Tom look after our sweet kitty Coco and our home, so we could enjoy a few days away with friends. Since they live full-time in rural Costa Rica like us, they were very self-reliant and knowledgeable about some of the challenges of our area, such as power and water outages. We appreciated the updates and photos of Coco that they sent. We came home to a sparkling clean house and a happy cat, and would definitely recommend them to anyone.

Kikki and Tavo were the absolute BEST sitters for my two cats Badger and Monty. They are very organised and had lots of questions about food and care. From the moment I met them I knew it was a perfect match. They kept the flat in perfect condition - it was definitely cleaner when I got home than I left it! - and they showered the boys with love and affection and kept me updated with pictures and funny videos. It was clear the cats had a great time. In fact, now I’m home I think the cats want me to go away again so they can have more cuddles with their new friends!! Thank you both so much, best Catsitters ever!! Xxx

We had the pleasure of having Marie take care of our dog, and she did an exceptional job, even when our dog had some unexpected health issues. Marie handled everything with care and attention, keeping us updated throughout. She also left our home in immaculate condition—super clean and tidy! Communication with Marie was smooth and reliable from start to finish. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!

Daniel and Tabatha are a very nice couple, friendly and always ready to help when they are not very busy working overseas on their computers. They looked after our 2 ponies (only feeding, bringing to the field and back (no stable cleaning) and Tabatha did that very nicely during the days we were away. They looked as well after our 3 dogs without any problems and they (the dogs) seemed very happy when we came back .Although Daniel and Tabitha took excellent care of our animals while we were away, it's a shame that, despite our request, they forgot to water the heat-sensitive plants in our garden. The same applies to their accommodation (a separate studio with own kitchen, bathroom and terrace). It was perfectly clean when they arrived and I have to admit that it would have been nice to find it as clean, the dishes dried and back in the cupboard and their fridge empty of all their food, drinks and started dishes. An excuse message 1 hour after leaving is nice but a little too easy ;-). Could do better next time.

We would give Santiago and Lorianna a whole tree full of stars if we could! Not only did our Elfie fall in love with these two but we did as well! Santiago and Lorianna came four nights early at our request. Unfortunately the day before they arrived I broke my toe and was really struggling to walk the dog. They just took over with walks and feeds which left us time to pack and organize. We were also treated to a wonderful Costa Rican dinner prepared by both…and totally cleaned up afterwards. We received cute videos and reports daily which we really looked forward to a well as little stories to go with them. The house was immaculate upon our return and our dog, I think, was sorry to see us. We will really miss these two but they are not going far. Hopefully we’ll get the pleasure of a weekend visit …no sitting required! Through zeewoi our family is growing in leaps and bounds. Loved these two wonderfully creative human beings and so did our Elfie.

We were blessed to meet Karina! She is very kind and warm person and she truly loves pets! She took a very good care about our 2 cats and a doggy. Even our neighbors who had a chance to meet Karina texted us later that our pets are in a good hands. On top to it she left the apartment completely spotless and even bought us a beautiful bouquet which was very sweet. Many many thanks to you Karina! We all are gonna miss you 💛

Nella and Andres were great sitters. Lily required some extra care during their trip after a medical treatment she received prior to their arrival and they cared for her wonderfully! They sent regular updates and pictures and administered Lily's medications as needed. We returned to a clean home and a happy kitty. We couldn't have asked for nicer sitters and would happily have them sit for us in the future. Thanks Nella and Andres!

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.

Marlen was such a blessing. We had another sitter cancel just a week before our vacation date so I was so relieved that she was able to step in at such short notice. She came to meet our pups a few days in advance so they would recognize her.  While we were away,  Marlen sent picture updates and made sure the dogs were cared for. So glad to have found someone like her to help us out.

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!

Jennifer treated my home and furry kids like they were her own. Everything was clean and well cared for and most importantly the dogs were happy! It was their first time with a sitter and they were happy. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience.

Jasmine is a five-star sitter.  She is everything you want in a sitter when you go away and leave your beloved pet and home.  She is reliable, communicative, respectful, and flexible.  We had no worries about our dog or home while we were away, and will be having Jasmine sit for us again soon.  Our home was immaculate when we got home, and our dog was obviously well-cared-for.  Can't say enough good things about this wonderful human.

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!

Katie & Kevin jumped in last-minute, as our sitters had to cancel. And what can I say: We couldn't have chosen better even if we would had more choices and time. Katie & Kevin were so easy to communicate with and the first meeting and handoff were so easy and smooth. We could go on vacation with peace of mind knowing our dog and 2 ponies are in the best hands. Katie & Kevin: Thank you so much for looking after our animals so well !!!

Shannon and Travis stepped up at the last minute when an earlier sitter canceled. Shannon and Travis took care our our large brood of animals for two weeks while we were out of the country over the Christmas holiday. They kept us informed about what was happening with the animals and our home. Our dog Pepper doesn’t like most people, but loved Travis and Shannon immediately. I would not hesitate to welcome Shannon and Travis back for another sit. They are very honest and friendly people. Their dog Dime is also awesome.

This was our first experience with TH and we are very pleased. From the moment Rose arrived we knew she was the right sitter for our “kids”. Communication while we were away was great with pics of the dogs as well as text messages. Rose cared for our home and our “kids” with great care, she is very conscientious of your space. Extremely pleased with the care she provided to our “kids” and our home. We have another trip planned in a couple of weeks and are happy Rose will be staying in our home again. I highly recommend Rose as a sitter!

Veronica House sat for us for a month.  She cared for our two Dobermans and our cat.

Veronica is so enthusiastic about animals.  They immediately pick up on her joy and love for them.

When some bold alligators made our dogs’ normal exercise routine unsafe,  she was faced with the challenging situation of keeping two Dobermans with very different temperaments exercised and entertained in the height of Florida summer with its bugs, heat, and humidity.  She met this challenge by taking the dogs for individual outings. She drove our young social dog to the dog park, finding the times when he would most likely have other large playmates and drove our socially anxious dog to the quiet areas of town for walks.  This took a lot more time than our normal routine, but it kept our dogs safe and happy.

A lasting benefit for us is that our younger dog, once a terror in the car, now rides much more calmly and our anxious dog, once fearful of what the car ride would bring, now happily hops in.
 
Our cat was so content and well-groomed​ upon my return, it was obvious that she had been getting lots of daily attention,  too.

Veronica communicated with us on all the happenings with our pets and property every day.

I came home to happy and healthy pets and a well cared for home.

We feel so fortunate to have had Veronica as a house sitter and look forward to her sitting for us again.
