Joy is beyond incredible!!! We honestly can't say enough great things about her. We won the lottery by having her as a sitter. Joy is completely dependable, trustworthy, kind and 100% committed to taking the best care of your pet. Her communication was outstanding from beginning to end. She proactively kept us posted on her flights, and sent daily updates, including pics and videos of our very happy cat. Our cat is elderly and has special dietary needs, but Joy was completely on top of it. Our house was spotless when we arrived home and Joy had even left us a thoughtful little house gift. If you have the opportunity to book Joy, you won't be disappointed! We can't thank her enough!

We’ve had many great Petsitter’s, but Janice is by far one of the best we’ve had. She was detailed oriented and worked very hard to make sure Lola (and Chloe) were well taken care of. At Lola’s age and considering that she is such a picky eater, she can sometimes be trying, but Janice pulled out all the stops to make sure she ate and took her required medicine. She even went to a specialty pet store to buy Lola new dog food that she loved! She also took care of our tropical plants in a greenhouse in our backyard since the temps went below freezing, which was an unexpected task. The house was spotless when we returned. You would have never known someone was in our house! Janice is a great communicator—she sent us regular updates and pictures of Lola and Chloe, and she was always quick to respond to any text messages. She has a great sense of humor! I would highly recommend Janice, and we certainly hope we have the opportunity to have her in our home again.

It was a pleasure to have Andrea sit for us. She took excellent care of our home and pets (2 cats and 2 hamsters). Before the sit she was very happy to talk and provide all the information and reassurance we were looking for. She was easily contactable both before and during the sit, providing updates as requested. At the end of the sit we really appreciated coming back to a clean and tidy home. We'd be extremely happy to welcome Andrea back to sit again in the future!

I highly recommend Meighan and Harry! They are wonderful people.....honest, thoughtful, dependable, and trustworthy. They recently took good care of my home in Arizona for 2 months. They kept in contact and kept me informed before and during my trip. They also went out of their way to make my return home easier by having food prepared, groceries waiting, and even lovely flowers to welcome me back. You will have peace of mind if you are fortunate enough to have them care for your home and/or pets.

Aaron and Angela were fantastic housesitters! They had great communication and we got wonderful photos and updates of our beloved pets every day. We have quite a little farm...a dog, lots of cats and two horses. Not only did they do a great job caring for them, they really seemed to enjoy themselves while doing it! They gave us total peace of mind while we were away so we could really relax and enjoy our vacation. They left the house very clean and tidy and all the animals were relaxed and happy upon our return. Aaron and Angela are welcome back any time!

Tamara was an outstanding sitter. Everything you could want in a sitter. Excellent communication from the beginning. I know my pets were well taken care of since my dog continues to look for her a day after her departure. And sleeps in the guest room during the day. (Not her usual place to sleep) She went the extra mile and fixed a pot of soup for us and left it in the fridge so we would have something handy to eat after traveling all day. It makes for a great holiday when you know everything is in good hands.

Becky did a great job while I was gone. She took excellent care of my pets and home. It was such a relief to be able to travel and know your pets were being well taken care of. She sent multiple photos, videos and updates confirming happy pets! She asked appropriate questions about home expectations and followed through so I came back to a clean house. The peace of mind that Becky provided meant so much. I would love to have her back again.

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

This was our first house/pet sit with @zeewoi and we were extremely pleased!
Robert showed up when he said he would, he accommodated our timelines and our dog's scheduled routine. He left our home in excellent shape and we had a very happy, relaxed pup to come home to. It was important to us that Robert meet us via video chat or in person before we left and he went above and beyond. He sent photos of our dog, Cooper, and him throughout the sit and we could tell that Cooper was very happy with Robert. He responded immediately to our texts, giving him updates about our return. Communication is so important for making sure both the sitter and the house owners are confident in one another.  Robert is very outgoing and friendly and we have 100% confidence in him to look after our home and our dog when we are away. We look forward to Robert providing another future home sit.

Once again Dede was the most perfect pup and house sitter you could ever hope to have the pleasure of using. She leaves our home cleaner than we left it and our pups so happy that they continue to search for her after she leaves.  Dede handled an emergency situation with a false CO2 alarm which resulted in a visit from the fire department perfectly and we were so grateful!  I feel completely comfortable with her in our home and know she is giving our 2 dogs the very best care. Thank you Dede - you truly are the best!

Evan and Maria were fabulous. They are experienced sitters and it shows in their independence. They sent regular updates, but not too regular and were totally self sufficient. Most importantly both the house and dog were perfect when we returned home.

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!

Angela provided complicated medical care for my sick dog for three weeks in Mexico City with the utmost professionalism and kindness 

Right before Angela’s arrival, my dog was hospitalized and almost died. Angela took care of follow up vets visits, administered eight medicines a day for two weeks, and nursed tico completely back to health 

I could tell from the photos and videos that she was taking excellent care of him - he was too weak to walk so she made a comfy bed for him in a large bag and carried him a over the city so he could still have fun during his recovery

I could not recommend Ángela more. She went so far above and beyond what a pet sitter should do, and she did it all with a caring and capable attitude

Hamsa was very quick to respond in all communication.  She was prompt on her arrival and listened carefully to our detailed instructions about the house and dogs.  While we were away the amount of communication between us was just right.  When we arrived home the dogs were happy and the house was in order.  A good sign that a dog sitter paid lots of attention to the pups is when we see a bit of depression set in after a dog sitter departs - this did occur after Hamsa left our home  She is a very caring and nurturing individual.

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.

Jamie was a lifesaver!  Our confirmed sitter canceled just greater than 2 weeks out from our trip, and after just a short chat I could tell that she was ideal for our home and dogs.  When we had a Covid exposure just before leaving for our trip Jamie didn't miss a beat.  We did a hand-off of the dogs and home outdoors to keep her safe.  We unfortunately had another exposure just before returning home, so were bummed that we couldn't spend some time with Jamie before she left us.
     Jamie is dependable, organized, and flexible with scheduling.  She is an excellent communicator and sent us the cutest pictures of our dogs.  We knew Teddy and Bella were in very capable hands while we were away. Jamie left our house very clean and with all the linens washed.  She even left a plant and thank you card, so thoughtful!  We would love to have Jamie back at any time to sit for us.  I give her the highest recommendation!

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!!
