Down to earth, responsible, animal lover who loves to travel!
I spent some time with this young couple and enjoyed getting to know them. This was the first time I had a child with the sitter. Pippa slept with the child part of the first night! If my cats are happy, I'm happy. I would invite them again.

Independent, compassionate and responsible. Meet your new favorite, fun sitter!
Jaime and my golden retriever bonded immediately, and I could tell from videos she shared how comfortable and happy Fiona was with her. Both Fiona and I would love to have Jaime sit again! From the beginning, Jaime communicated clearly and reached out via text if she had any questions or clarifications. In addition to taking great care of Fiona, the vegetable garden, and my home, Jaime got to know some of my neighbors as well as the area which was great.

I have nothing but good things to say about Janet throughout the stay with my precious boys! First of all, I invited her to sit only two weeks prior to my departure, as I saw she had already saved my listing and I had no applicants up to that point. Janet received great reviews on previous sits so I thought I'd go for it. She responded promptly and confirmed that she would be able to sit for me and I thank her for that! Janet was prompt in her arrival earlier in the morning, despite potential inclement weather. Ari and Archie seemed to warm up to her pretty quickly, which is unusual because with strangers it usually takes a day or two to do so. Janet was great about communicating with me and giving me updates every day, and the boys were both happy and healthy upon my return. My home was also in the clean order that I left it in. I would 100% recommend Janet to sit for your home and pets any time!

Digital nomad - great communicator - friendy, housesitters
Derek was a true gem of a sitter. He was flexible with scheduling and agreed to come a day early to get acquainted with my home and my pet, which was important to me, as I was also new to using the app and had never hosted a sitter who I hadn’t met in person prior. This put me at ease and made the whole experience a lot more comforting during my absence. Link adored him and truly seemed to miss him once he left. Derek watched Link for a long weekend and took him on many adventures, all safely and which Link seemed to really treasure and get a lot of fun and new activity from(beach, hikes, rides in the car, etc.) He followed each of my instructions carefully, be it home or pet related. The house was immaculate and just as I left it. I could not be more pleased with Derek’s ease of communication, his skills at listening, his kind and devoted care to my sweet fur baby, and his respect for my property. He is everything one could ask for in a pet or home sitter! Thank you again, Derek. I really hope to have the opportunity to host you(and Nathalie) again in the future.

Caring loving and experienced lady I love all animals especially cats dogs bird
We were so lucky to have Sue and Andy as sitters. From our first conversation it was clear they are huge animal lovers and would be a great fit. That expectation was completely met. They were fantastic with the cats, even giving medication to one of the more tetchy boys, Fergus, and generally making sure everyone was happy and healthy. They left the house immaculate -- well beyond the call of duty. It was wonderful to know the house and cats were in such good hands. I highly recommend them as reliable, organised and caring sitters, especially for rescue pets.
Sue and Richard were greeted enthusiastically by the dogs ! They sent me pics of the dogs having a good time on the beach . Which is always reassuring. I can recommend them as dog sitters and they arrived on time and were packed up when I got back
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.
I’m sure most folks say the nicest things about their sitter, but honestly, if there were a “super star” status available then Denise would win the prize as sitter of the year! From the start, Denise was an excellent communicator. While we were still in the decision phase, Denise was always available to chat either by FaceTime, telephone or text. It was so easy to choose Denise; as you can see from her countless 5 star reviews, she truly is the only pet sitter you’d ever need and the one everyone hopes to have. Denise came to our house eager to meet us, our pets and the quirks of our house. Denise has an excellent sense of humor and immediately put us all at ease. Our pets took to her as if she was a long lost friend (even our finicky Siamese cat was loving on her from the start). While we were gone, our dog had a non-emergency health issue come up and just like that Denise was taking her to our vet, and administered the dog’s meds like a champion (Denise is also a nurse BTW). Additionally, Denise brought our pup to her scheduled groom appointments and even made future appointments for us to make our return home as seamless as possible. Denise was even above and beyond helpful to our neighbors and they appreciated her giving them access to our refrigerator when theirs broke down on Thanksgiving Eve! When we got home we were super impressed by how perfectly immaculate our house was! Most sitters leave the house clean, but Denise met and may have even exceeded our military standards of clean and orderly. Seriously, our house felt like we never left it. Everything was spotless, shinny and clean. She didn’t miss a beat!! Our pets were so happy to see us but honestly, I felt like our pup and kitty were disappointed when we walked in the door (I believe they were expecting to see Denise!). Haha. If you are ever fortunate enough to have Denise apply for any of your sits then I can’t recommend her enough. Seriously, you can stop reviewing applicants and just go with Denise. She was awesome in every sense of the word and I hope she’ll come back and stay with our pets again.
Brian is awesome - he is simply the best pet sitter and house sitter that we have EVER had and we've had a bunch. He is experienced, thoughtful, respectful, loving, appreciative, helpful, enthusiastic...the list just goes on. Started with our initial call - it was our first sit with zeewoi and he immediately instilled confidence in us in how he talked about his experience and how he saw his role. In the pre-planning, he had great questions for us and helped us to get organized. He was thorough through the instructions, came in a day early to make sure he understood everything about our house and our dog and then followed through on everything. He even drove us to the airport and picked us up on the return. Along the way we were gone, he sent us pictures and kept us updated - always making us feel good about being away and knowing Jorge and the house were in great hands. We had workers coming to fix a fence while gone and some other activity at the house - he was helpful, available, and willing to do whatever was needed to be done. He was self-sufficient and when it came time to leave, he had everything organized and cleaned at the house - he left it in better condition than he received it. We would love to have Brian sit whenever we are away (and in fact will invite him and hope he says yes!) - any one would be lucky to have Brian as their house and pet sitter.
Piper was a wonderful sitter and I would definitely have her come again. My dog .Winston loved her and was very happy while I was gone. When I returned home everything was orderly and clean, she changed her bed and washed all the towels. I totallly recommend Piper to sit at your home.
Ray and Lynn are absolutely the best pet sitters you could ask for. They were extremely responsive to texts and emails and chatted with us over WhatsApp before the sit. They were very flexible and arrived the night before our sit so we could leave early the next morning. They even brought us ice cream because it was Joe's birthday the day they arrived. Very thoughtful of them. They are very friendly, relaxed people that are easy to talk to. Our dogs immediately bonded to Lynn upon their arrival. The first morning our cat managed to sneak outside and was MIA overnight despite their valiant efforts to get him to return. Ray tried to capture him but our cat fought with him and escaped again before eventually returning the next morning. Unfortunately Ray was scratched and bit by the cat during this struggle. He developed an infection in his hand. We did offer to come home or find a replacement sitter so they could return to the US but they were able to get medical attention here and antibiotics. They are so kind and didn't want to ruin our vacation! Two days before we were to arrive home the infection in Ray's hand took a turn for the worse and they had no choice but to head home to the US to get immediate medical care. They waited for our friend to arrive before departing. We were so impressed with them that even under these stressful circumstances they cleaned our house and laundered the sheets. Our kitchen cupboards looked better organized than before we left. Our garden was watered and well cared for during the heat wave. They were excellent at sending updates and photos throughout the sit. Our dogs were very happy and well cared for. We cannot recommend them highly enough!
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.
Oh my Goodness! Where to begin. Linda was the perfect house sitter for us and the perfect pet sitter for Olivia! She is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. When we returned from out two week vacation all our plants were alive, the garden was alive, the birds and fish had been fed regularly, and the dog was alive and happy! What more can you ask for, right? Well with Linda you get all that and more. Updates as you request - even videos of her morning walks with Olivia. The house as spotless as we left it, maybe even better! Even the porches were clean! Linda is a genuine treasure and our recommendation would be 10 stars if there were that many!!
Ranji was a wonderful pet sitter for my dog Zoe and was very easy to communicate with and kept me informed. She took wonderful care of our condo and wouldn’t hesitate to have her in my new home in NJ if she wants to check out a new area.
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.
