Rose is dependable, reliable, self sufficient and tidy. My dog Cadey takes several medications and I had no worries that she was getting them. She sent photos every couple of days which is reassuring. I had total confidence that my cat and dog were being loved and tended to. Coming home was a breeze as I was wiped out and the bedding and towels were freshly washed. I can highly recommend Rose. You won’t be disappointed. Ps Rose had left a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a card to thank me for my hospitality.

Aaron is wonderful and we are so happy he accepted a second stay with our cats. They love him and he takes such great care with them. He communicated well with us while we were away and has a good eye for adorable cat pics. He's gotten to know our neighbors and town over his two stays with us and he is well liked and respected. He goes out of his way to learn the intricacies of the cats and the house and took such great care of both. We hope Aaron will stay again when we travel in the future. He is simply fantastic.

It was a joy to meet Kelley and share our home with her! We are appreciative of the pictures and message she shared with us while we were away from home. She left the house tidy and the dogs well cared for! Especially appreciate the care for our puppy that can certainly be a lot more work than older dogs.

Jolene is a fantastic sitter! She followed directions perfectly, which helped Finnley transition with little stress. Jolene was our first sitter on this site and we are very impressed with the quality of care that she dotted on our pup. She is able to handle a rather dominant dog with ease. It was very easy communicating with her and letting us know how Finnley is doing while we were away. I was also impressed with how self-sufficient she is. She did not need help getting around and is a very travel savy. I would recommend her for sure!

I loved having Lauryn stay with me. Initially I wondered if she might be too young (!) but having a daughter of her age who is also highly competent made me really want to give Lauryn the opportunity. She is clearly someone who is very capable, confident in getting around (continents!), finding out how things work, ensuring she feels equipped to stay alone with the pets, and much more. On top of all of this, she is sociable, caring, emotionally attuned, energetic, organised, reliable, FUN!, quirky in a marvellously attractive way, and much more. I am increasingly wary of people flying here and there to do pet sits, and having expressed to Lauryn that I didn't "just" want her to fly from the US to be in France for a week, she coordinated an extensive trip, visiting other friends and colleagues, using trains where possible, in order to maximise the flights she did take. I really appreciate this attention to climate-related issues. My dog is elderly now, and going deaf, and she still managed to get him out for almost daily walks, when most other people fail to get him to budge. Clearly she coaxed him in all the right ways. Her attention to both cat and dog was just lovely. Bottom line - she's an absolute treat, and I highly recommend her.

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!! 🐾🐶

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.

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!

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.

We loved Misty!!!! She was absolutely the most perfect baby sitter for our dog and an amazing short term tenant at our house. Not only did she keep the house clean but she even washed everything she used before we got home. We even got a couple gifts from her. She is such a sweet human, kept in contact with us while we were gone and sent videos of the hikes and walks they went on. I would 100% ask her to stay at our house again

Joanna and David were wonderful sitters for our dog Broderick and our apartment. Before starting to sit for us they took time to come and meet Broderick which we were very appreciative of. During their time sitting for Broderick we got great updates every day and wonderful photos of our pup, and they were very responsive whenever needed. When we got back home we found a happy puppy, healthy plants, and a spotlessly clean apartment - they had even taken the time to wash sheets and towels and left us a kind thank you note. We would have them sit for us again in a heartbeat!

Duha was such a light to have in our home while we were away. She kept us updated with beautiful photos of our dogs throughout her stay and didn’t leave their side once. I’ve never felt so comfortable with any other sitter and I truly hope this won’t be the last time she sits for us.

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.

Lisa was a terrific sitter for our sweet Rosie.  She arrived the evening before the sit, and we immediately could tell how much love and attention Rosie was to get.  She provided updates and pictures which we were delighted to read, and we could tell Rosie was happy and well-cared for with Lisa on their walks and fetching sessions, on their car rides, and during Rosie’s many daily naps.  Lisa left the house in great condition, she’s very tidy and clean. Lisa’s experience with dogs and her friendly, sweet personality makes her an excellent sitter taking good care of animals while also being easy to communicate with.  I would recommend her and would gladly invite her back.

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!!
