The Villages, Florida
Pet lovers, world travelers, non-smokers, clean, and reliable.
Susan and Brent were absolutely wonderful! They sent daily updates and photos, which was very reassuring. Our pup Honey loved them, rolling over for belly rubs, and even joining them on the bed for snuggles. They left our home clean, and made sure Honey was well taken care of while we were away. I can honestly say we would have them back anytime, as a pet sitter or as our guests!

Exploring and looking for new furry friends to cuddle along the way!
We would highly recommend Annie and her family to house sit! We left on a cruise for a week with no phone access. Annie updated us daily via email with photos. Annie and her family took great care of our home and 3 pets (Boxer, Frenchie & and Cat). She even left us a home cooked meal when we came back from vacation and a nice clean home. We were fortunate to have Annie and her family sit our home and pets. Thanks, Annie! Dean and Amy.

Looking for adventures with new furry, feathered and fishy friends!!!
This is our second time using Carol & Guy. We appreciate their friendship and deep concern for our two dogs and our home. They send pics daily of the dogs and communicate well. We feel lucky if Carol & Guy are available when we have to travel. They are excellent.

Mature, reliable, friendly, responsible person who adores animals
We loved having Brad as our sitter! He was super communicative and responsive. He asked great questions and sent us pics and updates about our dog Apollo. He arrived and departed when he said he would and it seems like Apollo had a grand old time. We would love to have him back!

Let's show these pets the love, attention and the care that they all deserve!!
Kevin had excellent communication starting when we met on a video call. He always texted me right back and kept me posted on his travel plans in the weeks before his sit as we coordinated a meet and greet in-person the day before the sit. Kevin was super responsive during the sit and never left us wondering how the pets were. His frequent pictures were much appreciated! Our shy older cat took very little time to warm up to him and we also returned to a happy and content dog! All is well at the house, and we are grateful for a great sit!

Frank & Cindy, traveling pet siters loving your family as if it is ours.
Cindy and Frank left my home in excellent shape--very clean. You wouldn't even know that they were there. Suki seemed well-fed, and from the 3 or 4 images sent, she got out into the neighborhood, which is what I wanted! I didn't have much interaction with them before I left, other than 15-20 minutes for the handover, but they seem extremely organized and self-sufficient and nice. Very reliable, indeed.

Dependable, Animal-Loving, Online Professional, & Non-smoking
Jennifer was a joy to work with! She stayed with my two 80 pound shepherd puppies and gave them lots of walks, playtime, and ear scratches. She learned their schedule and helped keep it while we traveled. The communication and coordination between us was never an issue. Jennifer sent lots of pictures with the puppies showing them on walks and playtime. After a full day of travel, I wasn’t looking forward to sweeping up the piles of puppy hair I was expecting when I returned. When I looked around, hardly a hair was in sight! Thanks so much to Jennifer for making my return so welcoming. So happy I got to meet her and would definitely invite her to come back and sit again.

Caring for your beloved pets and safeguarding your home
Melodie and Karajah have been reliable, trustworthy sitters for us for three stays. We chose them again because they are great with our Welsch Corgi, Griffin, who is older and can become anxious in the wrong hands. They kept us informed about Griffin as needed and left our house and bedding very clean and neat. We would definitely use their help again and confidently recommend them to anyone needing a sitter.

We make a difference in the lives of pets wherever we go!
We couldn't have ask for a better person to take care of Buddy while we went on our trip. She went above and beyond to take care of Buddy and our condo. She is a very honorable person. Such a pleasure to have met her. Buddy misses her already, she spoiled him so!

Reliable, Active, NonSmokers ready to care for your pets/home & explore world
Chere and Rory were just AWESOME! Not only were they very friendly and interesting, they took great care of our cats and of our house...they even went over and beyond because they fed our "outside animals" (birds, deer, squirrels etc.)! They gave regular updates (and sent pictures) of our 2 kitty cats which was greatly appreciated. Chere was able to play and snuggle with Perry (aka Potato)...and even got Terry (aka Babygirl) to sit on her laps for a little while!! Chere was really organized and had a chart of every daily/weekly chore so that she didn't forget one!! And even though they had to leave early, they made sure the cats were fed and taken care of...and made sure everything was clean... I think the house was cleaner than when we left!!! :-) We are really pleased we chose Chere and Rory to take care of our fur babies, they are the BEST!!!!
Diane and Les were excellent pet and house sitters. Jet was a very happy dog when we returned and Diane had shared many photos of their days together while we were away on holiday. The house was very clean and tidy when we returned and some milk , bread and sweet treats had been left for us, which were very welcome after our 2 long flights home. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Diane and Les as sitters for your home and pets, everything was done to a high standard and Jet was happy in his usual environment , which is all we wished for. Many thanks to you both.
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)!
I’m sure most folks say the nicest things about their sitter, but honestly, if there were a “super star” status available then Denise would win the prize as sitter of the year! From the start, Denise was an excellent communicator. While we were still in the decision phase, Denise was always available to chat either by FaceTime, telephone or text. It was so easy to choose Denise; as you can see from her countless 5 star reviews, she truly is the only pet sitter you’d ever need and the one everyone hopes to have. Denise came to our house eager to meet us, our pets and the quirks of our house. Denise has an excellent sense of humor and immediately put us all at ease. Our pets took to her as if she was a long lost friend (even our finicky Siamese cat was loving on her from the start). While we were gone, our dog had a non-emergency health issue come up and just like that Denise was taking her to our vet, and administered the dog’s meds like a champion (Denise is also a nurse BTW). Additionally, Denise brought our pup to her scheduled groom appointments and even made future appointments for us to make our return home as seamless as possible. Denise was even above and beyond helpful to our neighbors and they appreciated her giving them access to our refrigerator when theirs broke down on Thanksgiving Eve! When we got home we were super impressed by how perfectly immaculate our house was! Most sitters leave the house clean, but Denise met and may have even exceeded our military standards of clean and orderly. Seriously, our house felt like we never left it. Everything was spotless, shinny and clean. She didn’t miss a beat!! Our pets were so happy to see us but honestly, I felt like our pup and kitty were disappointed when we walked in the door (I believe they were expecting to see Denise!). Haha. If you are ever fortunate enough to have Denise apply for any of your sits then I can’t recommend her enough. Seriously, you can stop reviewing applicants and just go with Denise. She was awesome in every sense of the word and I hope she’ll come back and stay with our pets again.
Ray and Lynn were excellent sitters for Moose! They took him out multiple times a day and always played with him. They sent so many pictures and Moose always looked so happy! They were very flexible on when they arrived and left and very organized. The house was left clean and tidy and we found a happy dog when we got home. We would definitely have them back anytime!
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!
Amara was a WONDERFUL sitter for our home and our dogs for the weekend. We were so comfortable with her being in our home, and she provided regular updates and photos of our babies. The house was clean upon arrival home - we would have no hesitation recommending her to others and hope she would consider coming back to spend more time with our dogs!
Christina is the best house and pet sitter that we have ever had. She leaves the house immaculate. She is independent, reliable, and totally professional. Communication is excellent. In terms of pet care, Christina is special. I think that she is a dog whisperer. Bridie, our crazy Wheaten, adores her and is sad when she leaves.
Ryan is a great house and pet sitter and I definitely recommend him. He took excellent care of my apartment and my dog for peace of mind when I was away. He is professional, friendly, and experienced.
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!
You could not ask for better house and pet sitters than Ken and Jane! Before the sit: Communicating with Ken and Jane prior to our scheduled week went smoothly. They were proactive about planning. They came out to the house prior to the sit and spent a couple of hours going over things about the house, meeting the pets, and getting familiar and comfortable with everything. They were delightful people to meet; I was wishing for a couple of days to just hang out and play tourist with them! During the sit: Ken and Jane sent me daily updates and photos of their outings with my pups and with their interactions with my kitties. I appreciated how they chose the sit partly because of their love of exploring rural areas, because that's what I have here! They were perfectly suited to my home and pets. Ken absolutely loves cats and is an intuitive and experienced kitty-handler. Jane really bonded with one of my kitties; both of them made great progress with all three of my cats, each of which is pretty shy at first, and one can be a real problem child. They worked very hard to give love to each pet and ensure that each felt calm, happy, and cared for. They spend tons of time outdoors with my border collie/retrievers. The dogs had daily "spa time" after walks and outdoor playtime, having their long fur brushed on my front porch (which the dogs love!). They sent me happy photos every day. If anything came up, they just handled it. They really seemed to enjoy their adventures and the pets each day, which made my time away that much more enjoyable. After the sit: I was thankful to have some time with Ken and Jane when I returned from my trip. All the pets were calm, happy, and healthy when I got home. Ken and Jane had left me a detailed note about that last day to make re-entry easy. They sweetly left a thank you note and a bottle of wine on the kitchen table also (a very sweet and unexpected surprise!). They seemed quite sad to leave my "kids;" Jane left with tears in her eyes, saying goodbye to my dogs. We've kept in touch since the sit. My whole house really misses them. Oh, and the house was immaculate and plants all watered (inside and out) when I got home! If you're looking for kind, competent, caring, organized and responsible people to care for your home and pets, invite Ken and Jane!
