I cannot recommend Neil and Fiona enough, so if they apply for a sit then please don’t hesitate to accept their application! Neil kept in touch from the moment I accepted their application and we liaised a lot prior to the sit so we all knew each other’s plans and I felt completely comfortable with our plans. We were able to spend time together on the day of their arrival, prior to when we left for our holiday. We got on really well and so I was more that delighted, and relaxed, to leave my home and my precious girl in their care. During the sit Neil and Fiona kept in touch and it was lovely to receive news from home with lovely photos of Sophie Louise and to hear a little of their adventures of where they’d visited during their stay. That meant a lot! We returned to an immaculate home and a happy and contented Sophie Louise. There were a few special touches which were lovely and after the nightmare journey home, meant so much! Thank you Neil and Fiona. I would welcome you back any time you’re next in the UK. I 100% recommend you to anyone who receives your application for a sit, without hesitation.

Cozette and Roger were great cat sitters. They were communicative throughout our trip and kept us updated with regular messages and photos. I felt completely comfortable leaving our home and Fergal in their care and Fergal was happy and relaxed when we got home. I would highly recommend Cozette and Roger to anyone looking for a cat sitter. They are the perfect choice for anyone who wants their cat to be well-cared for while they are away.

Facu and Manu were superb sitters, we would like to give them six stars! They are a kind, earnest and sensible young couple who will do their very best to look after your home and pets. We were able to meet them in person prior to our 2-month holiday, and we were completely confident to have them looking after our home and dog (shared between them and a neighbour). All our instructions were noted and actioned. They communicated regularly via email regarding our postal mail and general updates. They sent us some delightful photos of our pet. As a final bonus for us, they left us several homemade Argentinian treats! Finally, they left the house spotless (even better than when we left it!) If you have the chance to have Manu and Facu sit for you, grab them.

Donna and Steve were amazing. The house to come to was spotless, they even repotted some plants. Bailey was very well looked after, he obviously got cared for very well and was very content. The chickens, the fish, all very calm. I highly recommend Donna and Steve to look after your pets and house while you are away. They will so an excellent job.

It was lovely to meet Mira and Nigel after months of being in contact by email. We were able to have a good hand over to them before we left for our holiday. Thanks also to them for handing over to our new sitters who arrived for a further two weeks - much appreciated. We will definitely keep in touch and they are welcome to visit us anytime in the future.

Jo looked after our House and cat Tabby for 2 weeks, she was fantastic. From the first contact she communicated regularly and we felt confident in her sitting. On our return Tabby was happy and healthy, the house clean and my plants looked more healthy than before we left! She very kindly cooked us a lovely dinner on our return which I much appreciated after the long flight. We would be very happy to have Jo sit for us again.

We have been home a few days and am still overwhelmed about everything Mark and Julie did for us! We went through all that needed to be done the previous day of them staying and had dinner together. We found them to be the most interesting, genuine, kind people, so felt very comfortable leaving. While away we knew they were more than competent and would communicate and do what we would want if a situation arose, which they did! One of our dogs was sick, they took him to our vet, let us know and picked him up the next day. Our Vet informed us they were wonderful and we are very grateful. We have dogs, cats , 2 calves, 2 Ponies, baby lamb still on bottle, chooks and a cocky, all animal area's were clean and tidy, they got a new bale of hay and tied cover over it. It was the most organised it's ever been! We arrived home to an immaculate house, flowers, Pikelets jam and cream. So appreciated as we had the 1 am flight and then two and a half hours drive home! We have 4 cats who are timid but were all inside and as relaxed as I have ever seen and our very attention seeking dog was laying on lounge, head on Mark! I also have to mention Mark cleaned our glass in our fire place which we have tried but never came up sparkling like this! Needless to say we are so appreciative and happy with Mark and Julie, anyone who is lucky enough to get them will be able to relax and enjoy the experience of having this couple! Thank you Mark and Julie, happy travels!

Meg looked after our two cats for around 10 days and was excellent! Meg kindly agreed to meet up beforehand to be introduced to the cats and get to know the flat. During the sit, Meg was responsive and sent updates, looked after the cats well and also took great care of our flat and left it nice and clean for our return. Would definitely recommend Meg and would love for her to come and do another sit.

Rob & Hannah Cared for My Precious Felines Bella & Sasha & My Home Beautifully! They had a couple of significantly difficult situations to deal with. Bella was sick and required a vet visit. Bella is definitely a one person cat and does not warm to anyone else on this earth accept me! They delivered care and thoughtful consideration to Bella despite this fact and they enjoyed the Warm, Precious engagement with Dear Sasha who loves Cuddles & Snuggles so so much. I would not hesitate to have Rob & Hannah Housesit for me again if they are ever in Australia again. I received a home cooked meal on arrival home and the House was both clean and tidy. Thankyou so Much Your Both Simply Amazing 😻 🐾😻🐾💖

Kylie was a great sitter for my dogs. She kept in contact and sent pictures and took them on many walks which they love. She has her own sweet little dog that keeps to herself and was just fine with my 2. I would recommend Kylie to anyone looking for a housesitter

Cleo is a very lucky puppy dog to have been cared for by Matt & Lisa!  We’ve had quite a few sitters over the last 2 years with TH, and I have no reservations saying that they were the best!

First, communication was fabulous from the start.  They put me at ease before they ever got here.  Throughout the sit, there were regular updates and pictures.  

They were so very attentive to Cleo, and even ventured out with her on trail walks (Cleo’s favorite thing in the world).    They handled her medications with no problem.

It was obvious that my nervous pup was at ease and loved them, as she ended up sleeping with them!

I’d have Matt & Lisa again in a heartbeat, and would recommend to anybody!

Emily  and  Chris were absolutely incredible house and pet sitters. They took care of our dog and two cats for 10 days and were some of the best sitters we've ever had. They took amazing care of all three animals -- giving medicine to our aging dog and managing to befriend our very shy cats on day one.  We received adorable picture and video updates each day and it was clear that the pets loved spending time with them. Additionally they left the house in pristine shape and were incredibly diligent in all aspects -- bringing in packages, taking out the trash and recycling, etc.  I can't recommend them highly enough!

Jo & David were absolutely amazing sitters for our house and dog Rosie while we were out of town for 2 1/2 weeks. They are the best! Jo was super communicative and responsive at all times. She and David bonded with our dog, who grew very attached to them. They left our house super clean (and there were even chocolate chip cookies for us on our return)! Most of all, they are just super nice people and very easy to work with. Anyone is lucky to have JoAnna & David housesit for them.

Joanna and David were absolutely perfect!!!! This was my first actual time using a sitter and they went above and beyond what I expected.  I have a 1 year old Bully Breed that I adopted 6 weeks ago, so if you know dogs you know what they had to deal with :)) They sent pics daily and kept me updated.  We were not able to meet before I left but they were nice enough to stay to meet me when I returned.  My house was cleaner than when I left, all bedding and towels washed.  Charley, my dog, was happy to see me for a minute when I got home but immediately went back to play with David, so I am thinking she had a blast while I was gone.  I am totally sold with this process after having Joanna and David here.  If you have the chance to book them for your trip, you will not be sorry.  I am hoping to use them again when they return to Florida.

Tom and Diana were perfect house sitters and guests.  Great company, our dog immediately made herself at home with Tom. Animals loved and cleaned. House spotless, great communication and even left a thank you card and gift when they left.   I couldn’t recommend highly enough.

Romina and Ignas took amazing care of our two dogs and home while we were away!  One of our dogs, Beau, is extremely high energy and it takes a special person so make sure he gets enough mental and physical stimulation each day.  Romina kept us in the loop of his trips to parks and outdoor excursions.  She was very thoughtful and responsive during our time away.  

Additionally, our home was in pristine shape when we returned from our trip.  The rooms were clean and tidy and Romina left us such a thoughtful note. Romina and Ignas are top notch sitters and I'd highly recommend them to anyone with pets! 

Thank you so much, Romina and Ignas.  Our dogs were so well cared for and loved.

The two-leggeds and four-legged members of this household give Tess a 5-star rating! We think she's one of the best sitters you will find - highly communicative, friendly, competent, reliable, and great with pets. Tess was also flexible about start and end dates to accomodate possible winter weather complications. For this sit, Tess was able to bring along her mom, Cathy. Tess introduced me to Cathy during one of our Skype conversations prior to the sit. It was a bonus to have her here with Tess. Their travel to Marquette was complicated by weather. A fierce winter storm swept across Michigan just before the sit. It took Tess and Cathy two days to drive here but they arrived, as promised, in time for us to fly out early the next morning. We even had time for a lovely dinner together and to introduce them to the dogs and house. We left the next day and never had a moment's worry while Tess and Cathy were caring for our pets and home. Tess sent us regular updates and photos. The dogs immediately accepted them as great new additions to their pack of friends - even our cranky, old chihuahua, Nike! We returned to happy pets and a spotlessly clean home. We plan to invite Tess (and Cathy if available) to return for future sits. Thank you, Tess and Cathy!

To this list of attributes I would add flexible, capable, sensitive, extremely good with the dogs even if one of mine is sometimes a little ornery, and just a wonderful person all around.
Because of constantly changing circumstances due to a move and coronavirus, my dogs ended up spending not two weeks but a whole month with John and they were so comfortable and happy.
John helped them in so many ways and coordinated shipping them overseas, he went above and beyond the wildest stretches of what a house sitter entails and did it with a smile and a laugh and reassurances that all would be well. And indeed he was absolutely right - the dogs arrived so well cared for that all my fears of them being traumatized went out the window.
John’s flexibility, and his kindness as well as his impeccable maintenance of my house in my absence all make me recommend him an absolute 10 out of 10.
Thank you John for all your help this summer!!

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.
