I recently had the pleasure of having Jule cat and house sit for me in Upwey, and I couldn't have been more pleased with the experience. Jule showed exceptional care and love for my cats, Brooklyn and Soho, making sure they were well-fed, entertained, and most importantly, happy while I was away. Her attention to detail and genuine affection for animals truly sets her apart. I felt completely at ease knowing that Jule was looking after my fur babies and home was better condition than I left it. I highly recommend her services to anyone l looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Five stars all the way! Thanks so much Jule!! xx

Hayley was great! Easy to work with and coordinated schedules with. She was able to pick us up from the airport. Very friendly and took care of our pets very well. Sent us daily pictures too! Kept our place clean and tidy! Would love to have her sit again.

This was my second time with Dan as a sitter, and everything was as perfect as the first time. My cats couldn't care less when I returned because he did such a good job caring for them. Even my very shy, fearful female cat loves him and sleeps with him, whereas she hardly lets strangers pet her. He's a lovely human being and excellent sitter -- very tidy, respectful, communicative, self-sufficient, etc. Anyone's pets would be lucky to have him while their people are away.

Kay is the most dedicated and caring person anyone could wish for. From the word go I knew Kay was the perfect human for Rani. Kay knows animals. Rani and Kay bonded to the point that Rani didn’t know who to go to when i arrived home. Kay also connected with the small lakeside community. Many friends and neighbours met Kay and Rani out and about on walks and in cafes. Kay kept me posted with messages and pics. Kay is warm and easy to talk with making communication easy. I walked into my place as though I hadn’t stepped out… A huge bowl of apples, plants watered, washing done, dog washed.. what more can I say except THANK YOU Auntie Kay 🐾🙏🏼 (Rani won’t forget you!!)

Caroline was a fabulous pet sitter. Communication was very smooth. She asked lots of questions about our pets needs and although they are quite low maintenance I felt that she would have gone the extra mile in their care if needed. We negotiated that she could bring her elderly dog with her for the sit which was a great bonus as our dogs loved the extra doggy company. Thanks Caroline! Kate and Doug

Lesley & Joe are absolutely delightful and were great house sitters. They are very well organised, sent us regular updates on Loki while we were away and left our house spotlessly clean. We would happily have them sit for us again.

I felt that my dogs were in good hands with Billy & Cherice - both pups seemed happy and well cared for when I returned from my 3-week trip. My home was also clean and tidy. This was my first experience using an unknown sitter and I felt nervous to leave my dogs for so long while traveling abroad. If they were to stay again I would request more regular photo updates, but otherwise was very happy with Billy and Cherice's pet and home care.

Prashant and India were fantastic pets sitters for us. Both were dependable and were even kind enough to allow some service people into the home to do some repairs.

Our dogs were well looked after and we got daily updates on how the dogs were doing. Prashant is very knowledgeable and gave us a few strategies to combat some negative behaviors that we were seeing with the dogs.

Could not recommend them more. They will be missed.

Leslie and Kyle set the bar for all other pet sitters! On the first morning of their stay my cat got out due to a faulty window in my apartment  and they handled the situation so well. Leslie sent a text explaining what happened and that my cat had returned safely and she was so calm about the whole thing that it put me at ease for the rest of my trip. Kyle went above and beyond and not only fixed the window screen (he actually fixed two screens during their stay!) but also made sure the window was secure until maintenance could come and fix the issue. Their go with the flow attitude was amazing. I would 100% have them sit for me again! I can not recommend them enough. You would be lucky to have Leslie and Kyle as your sitters :)

Angelica was a wonderful pet sitter for our dog Rosie! She was easy to communicate with before and during the sit (very responsive), and made time to do a walk through of our house/intro to Rosie prior to the sit. She was extremely reliable throughout the process, and left our house really neat. Rosie was happy when we got home! We'd be happy to have Angelica sit for us again and would recommend her to anyone!

Angie and her husband Joe were a great fit for our house and pet sitting needs! They kept in communication with us before our vacation started, and were able to arrive a little early so we could walk them through how various systems worked and where controls were located. Our dog bonded with Angie very quickly and I think he was hoping she would stay after we returned home  :) 
We got regular updates and pet photos while we were traveling. Although we were out of cell phone range for several days, we never had a doubt that things at home would be just fine while they were there!
They were also very flexible and understanding. Due to our flight schedule we arrived home in the middle of the night. Angie was able to feed and walk our dog, clean up and leave in the morning without waking us up! The house was left clean, the garden was thriving and our pup was happy. We are happy, and would be happy to have them back again as sitters anytime.

I could not have asked for a better first time sitter experience! Terry & Vinnie were absolutely wonderful people. They took stellar care of my beloved pets and my home. Their communication with me was enough that I felt perfectly at ease during my time away and in turn, they were super responsive if I contacted them. My pets were relaxed and happy when I returned!

Anna was the perfect sitter for Tali, Mac and Sox. From the first moment we met Anna we all got on extremely well and we had no worries about leaving our pets in her safe hands. Anna gave them loads of fun time and company, lovely walks and snuggles in front  of the TV. Thanks for all the fun we had before and after the sit too. We would not hesitate to recommend Anna for any sit.

Jessica was so rad. I wish she could be our go-to sitter for all our travel. Came over for an in-person orientation, took great care of house and pets and seamless communication. Thank you, Jessica!

Heath spent a long weekend at my home taking great care of both dogs and the cat.  He was able to help out on rather short notice, and I felt very comfortable leaving my pets in his care.  Heath is friendly and reliable and left my home neat and tidy.  I would definitely recommend him as a house/pet sitter for future assignments!
