Julie Hamann and Daryl Hine
Julie and Daryl looked after our home and pets for almost 2 weeks. We found them to be very friendly and reliable and they looked after everything well. While we were away they responded promptly to our requests for updates on the pets and we came home to a lovely clean and tidy home.

Sophie and Mitchell from New Zealand. Have 3 cats shared with another family.
I cannot express enough how reliable, caring, and trustworthy the pet sitters were, especially considering that nothing went as planned and everything seemed to be a worst-case scenario. Kiara, our old dog, was usually healthy and low maintenance, accustomed to being alone for extended periods of time. However, a week before our trip, she started experiencing what we initially thought was severe back pain, which quickly turned into a more serious situation. Her immune system weakened, and her lab results were concerning. We had a discussion with the pet sitters, explaining the situation and offering them the option to back out since it was a different arrangement than they had signed up for. Kiara now needed to be carried going up and down stairs, multiple medications, and constant monitoring. Also, we were unsure if we should proceed with our travel plans. After two days, we received the diagnosis of a tick bite infection, and Kiara responded well to antibiotics. We made the decision to go on our trip, but with the understanding that we would return immediately if her condition worsened. To make things easier, we lent the pet sitters our car so they could transport Kiara comfortably, and they took her to a first check-up to the vet. The first check-up went well, but the bloodwork revealed something unusual, leading to another examination. Unfortunately, Kiara's health deteriorated rapidly before the second check-up, and the veterinarian informed us that she didn't have much time left as the antibiotics were not effective. We had to cut our trip short and fly back immediately. Throughout this entire ordeal, the pet sitters were incredible. They took exceptional care of Kiara, keeping us informed of any signs that could be of concern. We knew she was with people that were monitoring her closely and we got small bits of updates multiple times a day. Additionally when she was not feeling so well the guys brought her to the couch with them and kept her company. When her conditioned worsened we had to cancel the second half of the pet sitting to be with Kiara during her last day, the pet sitters graciously gave us space. We offered to manage their accommodations, but they insisted we need not worry about them. However, we insisted on partially paying for their accommodation for that night and provided alternative options if needed. We are eternally grateful not only for taking care of Kiara while we were away but also for understanding our need to come back and be with her during her final moments. Needless to say, the car and the flat were in perfect condition and spotless clean. We wish them bost the absolute best.

Practical, trustworthy, energetic couple - caring for your home & pets like they
Alison and John were great. Friendly, committed to looking after your pet, clean and tidy. Strong communicators. Absolutely no issues at all and highly recommend. We will be using them again.
Milla
Urenui, New Zealand
A self-employed designer who would love to care for your pets, home & plants
Can’t recommend Milla enough!! She did a brilliant job looking after our dog, Winnie, whilst we were overseas. We were quite nervous leaving him for a full month, but he was instantly relaxed with Milla and was very sad to see her go. She kept us up to date with regular photos and was very easy to communicate with.
Helen
Urenui, New Zealand
Loving life and keen for adventures!!
Helen and Greg came to house sit the night before we left, this gave us an opportunity to get to know them a little better as we had spoken via video before their arrival. It also gave us the chance to show them around and explain everything to them. We left the next day. We had regular reports on Mac's antics even a video to let us know how he was doing. A big thanks for strimming around the electric fence. We returned to a lovely clean home. The fresh flowers were a lovely touch. Thank you so much Helen and Greg. You did an amazing job!

Natalie, Ryan , and their little family were such wonderful pet sitters and guests in our home! They communicated well and often, and we felt totally at ease with them in our home. We came back to a clean house and well taken care of cats. We would love to have them back anytime!
Reviews from Dog Owners
Gregory
Due to a family emergency, I had to leave the country earlier than I had planned, and needed a sitter to fill in the gap between my departure and another sitter. Michele responded within minutes of my posting the sit, and then we spoke and confirmed the sit within hours. Her husband, Israel, was coming from Mexico to France, while she and her kids were to come from Sweden. When Michele’s travel plans changed, and she wouldn’t be able to come with her children, she assured me that Israel would still come to look after the house and dogs. To do this, for a stay of only five days, he flew to Paris, and then to the south of France, where he rented a car and drove the rest of the way to my place. As I was already traveling, the previous sitters filled him in on the various things that needed to be tended to: caring for two dogs, tending to hens, watering 90 young olive trees daily, as well as other things. The place is big and it took me 3-4 weeks when I first moved in to figure out where things were and what to do. Israel mastered everything upon his arrival, sent me daily updates with photos of my two VERY happy dogs. In addition to all the upkeep, he managed to hike with the dogs daily. I arrived home to find everything perfectly maintained, two fit and and Israel’s guest house cleaner than it was when he arrived. Immaculate. I cannot even express my gratitude for to both Michele and Israel for such a sacrifice and commitment to do that for me. It was a very difficult time, as I was dealing with the loss of both my son and my mother. I did not worry for one second while my dogs and home were in Israel’s hands. Thank you both, so, so much. You’re welcome back anytime, with the entire family, even just for a visit, maybe just a well-deserved holiday, with no dog- or house- sitting!

Kelly was an excellent sitter for us. She communicated well, before the sit and during the sit. When we got home, the dogs and our guinea pig were happy and well. Kelly was dependable and showed up exactly on time. The house was well maintained and clean when we arrived home. We would definitely host Kelly again.
Alexis
We had the pleasure of having Maggie (for the second time) to take care of our home and beloved dog Frida while we were away for 2 weeks. We couldn’t be happier! Neither could Frida! Our big dog is sometimes a bit stubborn and Maggie managed amazingly. We had daily photos and video, and Frida was clearly very happy, comfortable and very well looked after. We highly recommend Maggie to anyone in need of trustworthy and dedicated house sitter and animal lover
DAVID
This is our second time with Jamie and she’s really a great sitter for our dogs . She’s a trusted person, smart. You can leave her your house and pets. Can’t wait to have Jaimie back next summer
Laura
Alexandria was by far our best sitter yet (and we've had excellent zeewoi sitters)! She was responsible, self sufficient and very responsive. She took the time to come meet our dog ahead of time and to run through the routine before our trip. She was communicative and sent great pics of her adventures with Rupee while we were away. She was extremely clean and followed our household routine. And to top it al off, she left us with a homemade vegetable soup for our jet lagged return home from Europe! Alexandria is a wonderful, kind and caring person that I am grateful to have met. I cannot thank you enough Alexandria!
Deborah
This was our first experience with TH and we are very pleased. From the moment Rose arrived we knew she was the right sitter for our “kids”. Communication while we were away was great with pics of the dogs as well as text messages. Rose cared for our home and our “kids” with great care, she is very conscientious of your space. Extremely pleased with the care she provided to our “kids” and our home. We have another trip planned in a couple of weeks and are happy Rose will be staying in our home again. I highly recommend Rose as a sitter!
Rebecca
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.

Jim sat for my extremely shy rescue pup and new kitten for two weeks -- my pup struggles with new people, and is very fearful of men in particular. And yet, Jim was more successful with her than any sitter I've ever had: I can't recommend him highly enough. He has wonderful patience, a calm energy, and is a great communicator. He consistently updated me with photos and videos of my sweet girls enjoying the world with him, taking my dog on hikes and adventures to her favorite streams. He went above and beyond both for her (in meeting her needs and taking the time to get to know her personality), and also in caring for my home. I returned to such a cozy environment, a repaired wood stove, an organized wood pile and an at-peace dog and cat. Choosing Jim as a sitter is ensuring that your pets and home are getting the best of care, and his actions exemplify his kindness, generosity and thought taken in consideration of others. I hope to have him return many times in the future; the experience was a privilege both for myself and my pets.

Christina handled Bridie's first-ever time without us perfectly. We returned after 5 days to a happy, well-cared for and well-exercised pup --- and an emaculate house. Christina knows dogs and helped us with a few Bridie issues. We got photos and some updates while away. She was flexible and very sensitive to all of our needs. Chrisrina is the best sitter that we have ever had.
Teona
Alia is truly the most wonderful, loving and kind dog sitter I have used. My husky LOVES her. Not to mention whenever I travel and return home, my apartment is neat and orderly. She even baked a treat for me on my return! I highly recommend Alia. She has sat for me several times and I can't wait to use her again. Thanks Alia! Me and Grey love having you:)
