Dana is without doubt the best house sitter I have ever had. She is reliable, caring, clean, intelligent and my cat adores her. so much so that on my return he barely looks up at me, he's so content with her. She truly is tuned into him, He has medical requirements now, and Dana adheres to them perfectly. I had been away on respite as I'm ill myself, I arrived home to a vat of amazing tasty soup that nourished me for a couple of days. I'm really so thankful for your care Dana. Thank you! A joy to have in my home. Welcome back any time . You would be blessed to have her.

Caroline looked after our house, pool and plants for 3 weeks (we took our dog with us). She is very easy to get along with, reliable and straightforward. No issues at all, would definitely have her back.

We had Denise house sit for a weekend and look after our cat, Simba, and she did an amazing job! Her communication was excellent from start to finish, and it gave us peace of mind knowing she was taking such great care of our home and Simba. Simba usually takes a while to warm up to new people, but they hit it off right away. Denise's attention to Simba, especially when she first came over to meet us and Simba, made all the difference and gave us that extra peace of mind. Highly recommend Denise for anyone looking for a reliable and caring house sitter!"

My cat is older and needy and needs a little extra love than most cats. I can always tell when she’s been well taken care of when we come home by how she acts towards us when we get back. She’s super content and happy and that’s all I could want for her! They sent videos every few days, which is all I need as we’re always busy when we’re away and Smokey always looked happy in the videos and pics. They paid close attention to her and gave me detailed updates. When we arrived back home, the house was just as clean as we left it. This was our first time using this platform so this was a great experience in general and would be happy to have Gabriel and Erica watch Smokey again.

This was our second sit with Keith and Julia and it was just as perfect as the first one. They are lovely people who go above and beyond to ensure buster and billy are happy and well looked after. They also are very accommodating - when I had to leave later than planned they didn’t mind and we could work something out easily. I got home to very tired and happy dogs, a spotless house, and some jazzed up plants! Thank you Keith and Julia, looking forward to seeing you again soon ☺️

Biden sat for us for the second time and was great. We heard from her everyday, cats were so happy and taken care of and the place was clean when we got back. She was flexible with our dates and sent lovely pictures of the boys. We hope she comes back to visit. Thanks so much, Aideen!

House and Dog Sitting Review for Jason We had the pleasure of having Jason house and dog sit for us from the 20th of June until the 7th of July. As we are away for some time, Jason did the first sitting for Beau and our second sitter took over directly from him. Our next sitter said we should be satisfied with his services as Jason took good care of our home, and our dog, Beau. Beau seemed happy and well-cared for and she said he clearly seemed to have enjoyed his time with Jason. One aspect that impressed us was Jason's dedication to ensuring a smooth transition. He waited until the next house sitter arrived, demonstrating his commitment and reliability.

Regina did a great job. Showed up exactly when planned. House was cleaner when I arrived home than when I left. She kept in touch to a perfect degree and the dogs were in great shape. Good sitter and would recommend

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!! 🐾🐶

We had the pleasure of having Maggie (for the second time) to take care of our home and beloved dog Frida while we were away for 2 weeks. 
We couldn’t be happier! Neither could Frida!
Our big dog is sometimes a bit stubborn and Maggie managed amazingly. 
We had daily photos and video, and Frida was clearly very happy, comfortable and very well looked after. 
We highly recommend Maggie to anyone in need of trustworthy and dedicated house sitter and animal lover

Jerry gets a five star in every area! We actually connected on the phone before he ever arrived but once he got here, it was like we known each other forever! He was very thorough and how he was going to take care of the dogs and the house!! very friendly with the dogs, and they immediately connected with him!! dogs know when they are💖💖 he arrived early so he could become familiar with Circus and tinker and the house and we had a meal together and quickly became best friends! He sent pictures while we were away and updates. Every day. He was gone by the time we came back, but it honestly looked like he had never been in the house. Everything was perfect just like we left it.❗️❗️❗️ so if you’re looking for a Pet Sitter that is reliable in every way, and you know for sure is going to take good care of your pets this man is the one you want to have come to your home❗️❗️ you won’t be disappointed and I can promise you that💖🎉

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 🙂

Wendy sat for us on three occasions this Summer and I can’t say enough good things about her. The dogs were well taken care of and she was, organized, tidy, and responsible. It’s great to find a house/pet sitter that you can rest easy knowing everything is taken care of. We are hoping she will want to spend more time in the PNW!

Robert and Biljana are absolutely the best sitters you could ever get. We have used them several times already. They have always arrived at the stated date and time. They are eager to receive any and all instructions and will follow them as stated. They keep us informed almost every day on our dogs and send pictures regularly. They always go above and beyond their duties. Robert has fixed a few things around the house without being asked. They buy things for our dogs and have even trained our dogs on certain issues. They made a concerted effort to get to know the neighbors and talked up our dogs to all of them. They will be discreet with any and all information given. We really appreciated all their hard work and effort. They have certainly elevated the bar for the next sitters. Biljana took very good care of our plants and spoiled our dogs to excess. They now expect the same from us!!  We will welcome them back anytime. Hiring them is a decision that will not be regretted.

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.

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!!
