We were incredibly fortunate to have Christine as our house sitter. From the moment of booking through to the end of her stay, she was communicative and responsive, which was especially reassuring given she traveled all the way from New Zealand to watch our cat, Buck. Christine provided adorable and reassuring updates throughout her stay, which kept us at ease while we were away. She was incredibly self-sufficient and took excellent care of both our house and Buck. Our cat looked great and was incredibly happy after his time with Christine, which is the most important part for us! We couldn't have asked for a better house sitter and we hope to have her back again in the future. Thank you, Christine, for your exceptional care and dedication! You are a joy to talk with!

It was so wonderful having Madolline come care for our kitty boy Sushi and our apartment while we were away overseas. She was communicative, responsible, kind, and ever so loving towards our boy! Would 100% recommend.

We were absolutely delighted to meet and have Del and Christopher care for Izzy, the fish and our home whilst we were away. They stayed in touch. Our home was exactly as it was when we left and most importantly our Izzy was happy and not stressed when we arrived home. I’d have these guys back in a heartbeat! Thank you again

Tracy and Kev were great sitters. They cared for our home and our beautiful girl -Indi, just as we would. Everything was lovely when we returned and Indi was happy and healthy. Tracy and Kev seemed to firm a real attachment and bond with Indi, so she did not seem to miss us and was very happy and settled. We received regular updates and photos while we were away, which was lovely. We would recommend Tracy and Kev and would welcome them back at any time in the future.

Julie took care of my cat for almost 10 days. I managed to also meet her in person the last day. Julie is a kind, funny and tidy person, who took great care of my cat and my home. She sent me pictures and updates without me needing to ask. I am very thankful for her and would recommend Julie to anyone who needs a petsitter.

Jessie took really great care of our 3 cats. They seemed very relaxed and at ease when we returned home (normally they’re more anxious and skittish). She also occasionally sent photos and updates which was always really nice to receive. It seems there was some good cuddling had :)

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.

We could not have asked for a better house sitter than Myria!  She is kind, personable, organized, responsible communicative and more...She read all of our instructions before arriving and asked lots of questions about our pups to make sure she understood their personalities and schedules.  You can tell she truly is a dog lover.  Myria provided regular updates and we felt 100% confident leaving our dogs in her care.  We came back to a home that was spotless - you could hardly tell she had been here.  I'd highly recommend Myria as your next zeewoi!

This is our second time welcoming Michele and we were so happy to have her back! Our dogs Pedro and Samantha love her and it is clear she loves them! Our house was immaculate upon our return and Michele made her famous lemon chicken recipe which we gobbled up and then we asked for the recipe. We can't say enough great things about her and hope you are lucky enough to get her as a sitter for your pets.

Angela Gandolfo and Erica Piazza came to stay at our house while we were away on vacation for two weeks. Our two dogs are a handful, but these two lovely women took such good care of them. They spoiled them even more than we do, which is perfect. We got photos every day, and when we came home our house was tidy and there were clean sheets on the bed. I couldn't have asked for better house and pet sitters than these two women. They communicated well with us, and if they had questions, they asked. It was a pleasure to work with both Angela and Erica. 
We had to cut our vacation short because of a death in the family. It was really stressful, but once again, Angela and Erica were flexible and understanding. It made a difficult time easier, knowing that things at home were being managed so well. 
I'm hoping that if we ever have to go away again for such a long time, I will be able to get these two back here again! (hint hint) 
Thank you, Angela and Erica!

Robyn was a great pet sitter and house sitter.  She  went way over and beyond my expectations!!!! She sent a photo of her and my dogs and they were looking at her like they were in love.  And my cats are not very friendly, but she won them over also.  I would highly recommend Robyn as a pet sitter and house sitter.  She is a very sweet lady.  I would love to have her watch my babies again and again.

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 !!!

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.
