“ I couldn’t be more pleased with the Gabriella! Not only did she take excellent care of my pets, but her attention to cleanliness was top-notch. I came home to a spotless space, and my pets seemed relaxed and happy. Communication was clear, prompt, and reassuring throughout the entire time. I felt completely at ease knowing my pets were in such capable hands. Highly recommend!

Fiona and Alan were excellent house sitters and took wonderful care of our menagerie. While we were overseas, we received regular updates and images of our pets and it was clear the animals were having their own holiday retreat. When we got back home, Fiona and Alan had made a lovely dish for us and left the house immaculate. We couldn't have been happier with the way they looked after our place and animals.

Kim and Rowan were wonderful sitters for Kato and for our home. They arrived on time. They left the house immaculate (Rowan kindly mowed our lawn) and left Kato, our over-sized lap-dog, happy and well-exercised. I have no hesitation in recommending them unreservedly.

Ruby and Isobel were great with our cat Murko and took excellent care of our flat while we were gone. They were reliable and responsive before, during, and after their stay which put our minds at ease while away. Without hesitation, we would have them housesit for us again.

Gerry and Nui are the perfect house/dogsitters. They absolutely love our large dog, Koki, and are always a pleasure to host. They leave the place cleaner and tidier than they found it. A worry-free sit. This is the second time we have booked with them - and we will be booking again for our long holiday next year. Thank you Gerry and Nui.

Alicia was thoughtful and attentive, easy to communicate with, and took great care of our home & kitties. She kept up with us with just the right amount of communication and we came home to a clean home and relaxed cats. I'd absolutely recommend her to anyone.

Angela and Nik are a lovely couple. They were very punctual and conscientious. They left everything clean and tidy, our two dogs were very well cared for with plenty of walks on the beach and they sent some lovely pictures of the dogs on their walks. They even took the trouble of bathing and grooming the dogs so they were clean for our return. If the opportunity presents itself we would have no hesitation in having them back again to look after our dogs.

Natalie was a fantastic housesitter and is such a lovely person! We went away for 10 days and throughout that whole time Natalie kept us updated with pictures of our two cats. She was very responsive and left the flat super clean and tidy, and our cats were clearly very well cared for during our absence. We'd be delighted to have her back to housesit again!

This was our first house/pet sit with @zeewoi and we were extremely pleased!
Robert showed up when he said he would, he accommodated our timelines and our dog's scheduled routine. He left our home in excellent shape and we had a very happy, relaxed pup to come home to. It was important to us that Robert meet us via video chat or in person before we left and he went above and beyond. He sent photos of our dog, Cooper, and him throughout the sit and we could tell that Cooper was very happy with Robert. He responded immediately to our texts, giving him updates about our return. Communication is so important for making sure both the sitter and the house owners are confident in one another.  Robert is very outgoing and friendly and we have 100% confidence in him to look after our home and our dog when we are away. We look forward to Robert providing another future home sit.

Theresa is a reliable and experienced pet sitter in addition to being great at keeping house! She was very accommodating in meeting me & the dogs in advance of our sit, which proved she is a true pet person: attentive to my dogs and eager to know how they should be cared for. She kept me posted while I was away & I returned to a tidy home & happy dogs!
I highly recommend her!!

The best house and dog sitters you could ever ask for! They love and take care of our dogs like we do and do the same with our home.
Thank you so much Ken and Jane!
You are very much appreciated and loved by us, Jules and Lexi ❤️😇🐶

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.

We loved Misty!!!! She was absolutely the most perfect baby sitter for our dog and an amazing short term tenant at our house. Not only did she keep the house clean but she even washed everything she used before we got home. We even got a couple gifts from her. She is such a sweet human, kept in contact with us while we were gone and sent videos of the hikes and walks they went on. I would 100% ask her to stay at our house again

They took very good care of my pets which involved feeding cats twice daily, fish once or twice a day and filling up fountain for birds. Animals were healthy and happy when I returned. Nothing was lost or broken, and Diane even found a lost grinder part that had fallen into the cats food while I was using it. They are a pleasant couple. 

They were invited from Wednesday to Sunday.  They arrived on Monday so had 3 days instead of one to learn the pets routine. They also informed me that they wouldn't be leaving until Monday morning, but that worked out well since I was mistaken about the end date of my cruise and couldn't get home until Monday. Everything was left neat, but I had minor housekeeping to do (clean sink, fingerprints off glass table, sweep floor). They are older than stated on the profile, which they said only allows 65 as a top age. 68 and 73. Bruce has health problems that requires he sleeps sitting up in a chair that has a leg lift, which luckily I had, so he slept in my living room. They are fine caring for cats, but my friend with a dog decided to find another sitter rather than leave him with them (she was going to pay) because they seem somewhat frail.

Jamie was a lifesaver!  Our confirmed sitter canceled just greater than 2 weeks out from our trip, and after just a short chat I could tell that she was ideal for our home and dogs.  When we had a Covid exposure just before leaving for our trip Jamie didn't miss a beat.  We did a hand-off of the dogs and home outdoors to keep her safe.  We unfortunately had another exposure just before returning home, so were bummed that we couldn't spend some time with Jamie before she left us.
     Jamie is dependable, organized, and flexible with scheduling.  She is an excellent communicator and sent us the cutest pictures of our dogs.  We knew Teddy and Bella were in very capable hands while we were away. Jamie left our house very clean and with all the linens washed.  She even left a plant and thank you card, so thoughtful!  We would love to have Jamie back at any time to sit for us.  I give her the highest recommendation!

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!

I cannot thank Jenny and Geoff enough for stepping in at the last minute after the original sitter cancelled. They are a great couple, friendly , organised and extremely capable. Also they LOVE animals.  My dog and cat have clearly been given a great deal of care and attention in my absence. 
Jenny kept in touch with notes and lovely photos, Geoff cut my grass and I came home to a spotlessly sparkling house ! Thank you so much! 
Jenny and Geoff are welcome back anytime and I would not hesitate to recommend them as excellent sitters.
