Kimberly and her husband were the most amazing house and pet sitters. They took Rip to so many cool places like Schooners on the beach, walks around the marina, and several walks in the neighborhood. Kim stayed in touch with lots of fun photos. Rip absolutely loved them and they left my house immaculate. I would love to have them over again plus highly recommend them as sitters.

Michael and Angela were nothing short of wonderful. They took inmaculate care of Oreo (our cat), our two fish (which Michael called “The Twins”), our home and the outdoor plants and deck. We could not have asked for better sitters. They sent regular text messages about the house and pets with pictures of the mail we received that was not junk mail. In addition to being good caretakers, they were super nice people and fun to know. We would have them return in a heart beat. What a wonderful couple!

We knew that our home and our pets were in good hands when we met Dave upon his arrival. And he did not disappoint! The pets were loved and cared for even with complicated feeding instructions. We came home to find our home clean, the pets happy, and even the bedding changed. We highly recommend him and would welcome him back whenever our schedules match up again!

Missy was a wonderful house/cat sitter. Don't hesitate to select Missy. She's very friendly and personable. The cats took to her immediately. She took wonderful care of my cats and frequently sent me pictures, which I really appreciated. The house was spotless when I returned, which was a delight. Missy was quite flexible when a car problem delayed my departure for a day. I would highly recommend Missy.

This was the second time we’ve had Cat stay at our house to care for our pup Freddie and cat Wilma and it was a delight once again! We really enjoy communicating with Cat - we feel like she’s a friend at this point! Like last time, she kept us updated (even on not-so-fun topics like dog poop 😂) and really paid attention to and cared for our animals. She went out of her way to take Freddie on a few adventures like the beach and a walking trail which was fun to see. We came home to two very content pets and a spotless home. We trust her completely and hope to have her stay again! If you’re lucky enough to have Cat sit, we strongly recommend!

Not only did Krista take great care of our cat while we were away, she left the house cleaner than she found it. She also kept in touch with occasional photos and videos of kitty antics, which gave me peace of mind that the cat was well-cared for. We definitely recommend her as a house and pet sitter and would ask her again in the future!

I selected Alice based on a Zoom 'interview'. She was intelligent, interesting and had a good sense of humour. She arrived the day before I left to come to my condo so I could show her around, in person. I found that very thoughtful. During my trip, Alice sent updates with cute stories and pictures. She prepared for my arrival by changing sheets, towels and thoroughly cleaning everything. My cats were relaxed and content. During the brief time I spent with Alice I sensed her good nature and her deep, interesting personality. She is someone with whom I could easily be friends.

Cindy provided excellent pet care as I expected (this is her second sit for us). She was good about keeping us informed on weather and potential house damage. She's a great guest too and always leaves our place so neat and tidy. I hope she chooses to sit for us again in the future!

Terri and Blake were wonderful house sitters, Harri our Welsh Springer Spaniel had clearly been more than well looked after. We received lots of pictures of him obviously having a great time. Blake looked after my garden so well. They are a very personable couple and we would recommend them highly.

Natalie took great care of it dog and cats! She was clean, organized, conscientious, and communicative. Our dog had a small cut on his foot and Natalie took great care to help him heal. 

I would highly recommend Natalie as a house sitter and pet sitter!

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!

Brian was a wonderful sitter for our 11 year old dog and also took great care of our home. He sent me pictures every day and let me know how Macklin was doing which always helps ease my mind. Our home was clean and tidy when we returned and everything in its place. I'd recommend Brian to anyone looking for excellent care by a friendly person!

Jerry gets a five star in every area! We actually connected on the phone before he ever arrived but once he got here, it was like we known each other forever! He was very thorough and how he was going to take care of the dogs and the house!! very friendly with the dogs, and they immediately connected with him!! dogs know when they are💖💖 he arrived early so he could become familiar with Circus and tinker and the house and we had a meal together and quickly became best friends! He sent pictures while we were away and updates. Every day. He was gone by the time we came back, but it honestly looked like he had never been in the house. Everything was perfect just like we left it.❗️❗️❗️ so if you’re looking for a Pet Sitter that is reliable in every way, and you know for sure is going to take good care of your pets this man is the one you want to have come to your home❗️❗️ you won’t be disappointed and I can promise you that💖🎉

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 🙂

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.

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.

Angela was fantastic.  She came a day early to meet us and our dog Bella and to get the lay of the land and we so enjoyed meeting her and getting to know her!  She took care of our home and Bella with the utmost care and attention.  She was great to communicate with throughout the sit and we felt confidant being away knowing our dog and home were in such good hands! We returned to a clean house and she even prepared dinner for us!  It was clear that Bella was happy, well taken care of and very fond of her!!  We would definitely recommend Angela.  She was a reliable sitter and a delightful person all around!!

Lori and Joe took great care of our two dogs and tow cats while we were gone. Our plans changed and we actually asked if they could come a day before we had originally planned to leave and they said no problem!   They even stayed over on the night we got home so that we could meet them which was very nice!

Lori was very good with communication before the house sit and also during the time they were here.  She  let us they had arrived safely and then sent us a short text or pictures every day of the  animals. 

The house looked cleaner than when we left it when we got home!  Lori and Joe were great house sitters and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them!
