Neil
Ashburton District, New Zealand
Rose and Neil, retired KIwi couple. Experienced sitters
It was a pleasure having Neil and Rose to Housesit for us. They are a very charming couple who really enjoyed being at the house and looking after the dogs - who clearly had enjoyed being cared for by them. They were very self sufficient and visited the local area too, whilst ensuring the animals were taken care of first. The house was very neat and tidy on our return and, best of all, they had prepared dinner for us to return to! I would not hesitate to recommend them for anyone looking for a house sitter. 😀
Anne
Ashburton District, New Zealand
Caring and responsible retirees ready to care for your home and animals.
Anne and Lindsay did a wonderful job of looking after our home and pets. It makes it so worry free to go away knowing they are going to be here. Thanks again.
Jenny
Ashburton District, New Zealand
Experienced and ready to care for your pets and home like our own.
We were so fortunate to have Jenny and Graeme care for our dog and home! From the outset, they were communicative and open, maintaining contact to work out the logistics of their arrival and departure and sharing their travel stories (which are envy-inducing). When we met in person, they were solicitous about how often (and by what means) we wanted to get updates, and then they followed through while we were gone. On our return, not only did we find a happy and healthy dog, but they had left the house cleaner than they had found it, and left us some delicious New Zealand treats! Could not recommend more highly; we would be delighted to have them back anytime they want to make the trip to Boston.
Madeleine
Ashburton District, New Zealand
Kiwi student who loves animals and travelling
We couldn’t have wished for a better sitter than Maddy! Our sit was quite last minute but Maddy agreed to a video call and we arranged everything within a week! Maddy got to ours an hour or so before we were due to leave so I could take her round the house and meet the boys and talk routine etc. As soon as she arrived we knew she would be a great fit for the boys. Jerry is quite used to cat sitters and was lapping up the attention but Woody as ever was very shy and hid himself away. We had daily updates from Maddy, morning and evening including pictures of Jerry and sightings of Woody! What was super lovely was her efforts to help Woody come out of hiding and out of his shell. We had updates of Woody playing with his favourite toy, sitting out for a while and generally getting braver by the day! This is the first time with a sit that anyone has been able to play with him. Jerry was also very happy. We managed to have a very restful and stress free week away which was wonderful. On our return not only was the house spotless but Maddy had left us a lovely note and gift for us and the boys! I would love to have Maddy sit for the boys again and she will always be very welcome here.
Leticia
Ashburton District, New Zealand
Uruguayan Couple. Animal lovers travelling all around the world
How do I even begin expressing how wonderful Leticia and Ignacio are?! They were super friendly, highly organised, extremely neat (even sorting our garage out for us!!) and loved our pups as if they were their own. I felt 150% comfortable leaving my home and my poochies with them. When one of the pups had to go to the vet, they took care of it without any concerns and they maintained communication (and photos) with us throughout the month we were away. When our flights home got delayed, they stayed an extra night without hesitation and helped to have the pups looked after the next day by leaving feeding instructions for my friend. We came home to a super clean house and two very happy doggos. A MASSIVE THANK YOU to you both and please come visit us any time x
Laura
Ashburton District, New Zealand
A quiet board game and pet loving married couple from New Zealand
Laura and Tim were lovely. They were organised about planning their travel arrangements and arrival and departure times. There was a couple of issues with our oven and hot water while we were away but they contacted us appropriately and managed to sort it out. The house was tidy when we returned, pets seemed happy. Would definitely recommend.
Reviews from Pet Owners
Jan
Abi and David were FABULOUS pet sitters during our 5-day trip. They were devoted and fun dog walkers, park-goers and ball throwers. They communicated well and sent pictures. And when we got home, the house looked great, and the dogs looked calm. We would gladly have them. Sit for us again and highly recommend them.
Jennifer
Natalie and Christian were dream pet sitters while we were out of the country for 2.5 weeks. From start to finish, they were reliable and professional, with excellent communication. They had took great care of our dog and chickens and left the house and car in great shape. Plus, they’re just a really sweet young couple. We’d highly recommend them as house sitters.
Katrina
Anant was a great sitter and a friendly guy. Kept me up to date re his arrival and with Marie & Toulouse during the sit. Found my house exactly as I had left it. Would highly recommend Anant to other pet parents.
Thanh
Monique was very nice and easy to schedule with. She sent us pictures of our dog Maisie while we were away, which we enjoyed seeing. Maisie was well cared for and had gotten plenty of exercise by the time we got home. The house was spotless, which was lovely to come home to! She had taken the trash and recycling bins out, even though we hadn’t mentioned them to her before we left. She made sure to let us know if anything was amiss so there were no surprises when we returned. Would definitely recommend her as a pet and house sitter for others. :)
Kristen
Martin was a very conscientious and thoughtful house sitter who took excellent care of our pets and our home. He was reliable, self-sufficient, and a very good communicator. He clearly enjoys and cares for animals, and our house was spotless when we returned. We recommend him wholeheartedly!
Kim
Early in 2023 I went searching for a sitter to sit with our Lizzie for a month. I found Lori during my search and I am so happy I did. Lori’s reviews are all five star and I can fully attest as to why. Lori was so friendly and kind and I could tell from the moment she met Lizzie that she would take great care of her. I received daily pictures of her and Lizzie snuggling and I couldn’t have been happier knowing my girl was receiving a lot of love. Lori left our home in wonderful shape (probably better than I left it for her). She took great care and was very conscientious of all my plants. We even came home after a very long day of travel to some wonderful chicken soup. Lori will take wonderful care of your home and your precious pet. Do not hesitate to contact her for your pet sitting needs. I already have her booked for 10/2024 so don’t try and get her then!!!😁
Bonnie
Bard and Kim are amazing house sitters and pet care givers. I would recommend them over and over. I wish I could add numbers to the scale. They would get a 10+. Bard and Kim were super easy to work with, efficient, self-sufficient, and considerate. They took immaculate care of my home; it was definitely cleaner after they left! I would recommend them without hesitation over and over.
Lynn
We were so happy to have Kyle as our house sitter for two weeks. Besides taking great care of our pets and our house, he was very accommodating. We were always able to get in touch with him if we needed to, and he agreed to take on some extra plant watering’s when the weather made a sudden change. As a bonus, he is very likable and communicative. We would definitely have him come again.
Chris
Jacob sat for us during our holiday in March. We do not have any pets but we do have garden plants etc to look after. Jacob did a fantastic job of looking after the young plants that had arrived by post the day before we went away. He sent us regular updates and photos of how the plants were doing. We came home to a very clean and tidy house and thriving plants. Jacob did a great job and we have no hesitation in recommending him. If he comes back to the Uk and we require a sitter we will contact him first. Well done Jacob.

5 stars? Minimum, seriously, Tyler exceeded our expectations and we are DEMANDING when it comes to caring for our 4 pups! Fortunate to meet Tyler in person about a month prior, instant rapport, and she was basically born surrounded by animals. Professional high energy, and enthusiastic love for animals! We asked Tyler "Why the heck would you drive 1.5 hours from Nashville to hang in our small town?" Tyler replied "Have had animals all my life, current Nashville location cannot, I need my animal fix!" Tyler arrived the evening prior to our departure, met our 4 dogs, the eldest is special needs with bad hips, the youngest a wild child 2 year old husky, and in the 15 years of having family or friends assist with our pup sitting, this is the most positive and enthusiastic our dogs have been to anyone outside our home. It was an instant love affair. Our dogs are so spoiled with mom & dad working from home, nearly 24/7 attachment, they typically become depressed, despondent, ornery, you name it, even if we go out for 2-3 hours. The 3 instances where we did an overnight trip or the like, they acted as if we had abandoned! When we came home after 3 nights away (was going to be 5 but business cut our first vacation in 10 years short), when we walked in the 4 of them looked up as if to say "Oh your home how nice" and were content as if we had never left. That is a FIRST in 15 years. Not only did Tyler provide us with updates, photos, messages, etc. she organized (we did not require nor ask) our complete chaos of a large kitchen drawers, pots pans, you name it, it was the most organized we have been in a LONG time. Our eldest handicapped Husky, usually has accidents in the house at least once a day. The youngest 2 year old loves to chew up the carpet, toys, bedding. Under Tyler's watch, no accident, no chewing, and total happiness from a new affectionate friend! This was our VERY FIRST Trusted House/Pet sitter foray, and Tyler far exceeded or expectations, and set a standard that will be difficult for others to follow. Allowing a total stranger to watch your beloved pets and home is a serious undertaking, and Trusted House/Pet provided us with a rock star. Family and friends alike joke how we are over the top with our dogs, and Tyler did not bat an eye, and provided a seamless transition of puppy affection and well being. This review may seem over the top to some, all I can say is this is 100% true to life, and other Home/Pet owners are welcome to reach out to us for further referral. Those who are able to work with Tyler depending on her work/travel schedule would be well served to invite her without hesitation. Tyler, THANK YOU for allowing us to enjoy a few nights for the first time in a decade! Dean & Diana Smith
