Chante and Theunis were 5-STAR sitters and have set the bar really high for future sitters. They were absolutely amazing. Firstly our dog China was so calm and well groomed upon our return, which was evident of how well they looked after him. Secondly, they went over and above of what we expected of them to manage our airbnb, which is a clear indication of their beautiful & dedicated characters. Thirdly, they were working remotely from our home and communicated well, keeping us informed of China's well being and were diligent in managing the alarm, which was important to us and which we really appreciated. Chante and Theunis are responsible young professionals who clearly indicated that they can deal with various situations and solve problems practically and easily which enabled us to have a relaxing holiday. Thank you so much!

Came back to find both home and cat in perfect condition. Vicki and Chris were easy to communicate with prior to and during the sit and we appreciated the occasional pics of a clearly happy pet whilst we were away. Would happily have Vicki and Chris for future sits, and so would Millie (cat)!

A+ sitter. Poor Jasper was unwell during our trip away, but fortunately Amy is a retired vet so knew we were in safe hands! Very grateful (and very, very guilty!) can’t recommend highly enough. G

Milly was wonderful. A pleasure to deal and arrange the housesit with. We came home to three very content and relaxed furbabies! As an owner of big dogs, you can be reassured that Milly will take good care of them.

Carol was absolutely wonderful, our dog Ollie was really well cared for and we think he misses Carol not being here. Our home was left in a very neat and clean state. We would certainly recommend Carol to anyone looking for a kind and caring person to look after their pet and home, we are really Going to miss Carol.

Erica watched my senior dog and cat for 12 days while I was traveling internationally. She was organized, responsive, and took excellent care of both my animals and my apartment while I was away. She sent me photos during the stay and my pets absolutely adored her. She has watched my pets before and I always trust her to take excellent care of them. 

Traveling internationally and leaving my pets in the care of a sitter always makes me a little nervous, since I won't always be immediately reachable. However, Erica's communication and obvious competency made me feel very comfortable about leaving my pets in her care while I was away. It's very obvious she adores spending time with the pets and caring for them.

I came home to a clean apartment and very happy and healthy pets. I would highly recommend Erica for any of your sits!

Marlen was such a blessing. We had another sitter cancel just a week before our vacation date so I was so relieved that she was able to step in at such short notice. She came to meet our pups a few days in advance so they would recognize her.  While we were away,  Marlen sent picture updates and made sure the dogs were cared for. So glad to have found someone like her to help us out.

Anita was a wonderful dog sitter for Balto! They were super tentative, made sure to ask any and all questions before we went away, and they sent the best updates about Balto while we were gone. I felt so much better knowing my dog was in great hands, and I could not recommend Anita enough! Quality care, and our apartment was spotless when we returned home.

Ryan was one of our best sitters we’ve had! Ryan is so lovely to chat with and we looked forward to meeting him before our trip. He was organized and communicated his plans clearly with us and was easy to communicate with while we were away. Our dog took to him immediately and so we knew we could relax while away. Our home was in great shape when we returned and it was nice to get a debrief from him as well. We’d love to have Ryan back anytime, and so would Steve (our dog)!

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

Liz was a fantastic sitter for our boys and took great care of our home.  She was a great communicator and kept us informed of what was happening and how our dogs were doing. She also kept our home clean and tidy. We would be grateful to have Liz sit for us anytime!

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 🙂

I could go on forever because Veronica was beyond incredible! We feel so fortunate that she was able to sit for us. Our fur babies were so spoiled with love and attention. Veronica followed their regular schedule, gave our dog her joint supplement, and helped clean her paws with medicated wipes from our vet. Our cat is very shy and sometimes doesn’t even come out for sitters and he loved Veronica! She brushed him and gave him so much love. They were both so happy when we came home. Veronica went above and beyond for us! She even made us masks, got us some disinfectant spray we haven’t been able to find and to top it off she made us bolognese sauce with sweet chicken sausage! She even left us a new box of pasta to make when we got home! We couldn’t believe we got to come home to an incredibly clean house, dinner and such happy pets! Veronica sent pictures and updates daily which made our time away even more relaxing. She took cleaning and sanitizing very seriously which we appreciated so much! We highly recommend her! She treated us, our home and pets just like family. We would love to have her sit for us again and are so grateful for everything she did for us! Also - dinner was delicious!!

Cannot say enough good things about Charli and Jeff, a delightful couple who took great care of both dog and house.
Loved their enthusiasm and attention to details. They are full time traveling pet/house sitters and it shows. They are organized, punctual, extremely tidy and completely self-sufficient.
Charli, Jeff, it was a true pleasure to meet you both and you are welcome back any time your future travels bring you to the Charleston area. Warm hugs from myself and Forest.

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.
