Maria & Frank were wonderful looking after our house and dog Paddy. With a road closure, Frank flew over to look after Paddy on time while Maria joined him later on. Paddy was walked often and loved by them and was very happy and in good shape when we returned. The house was clean and tidy when they left and we have no hesitation recommending Frank & Maria and using them again.

Thank you, Carolyn and Mike. They did a fantastic job of looking after our two cats. (Sent us photos of one of our cats who doesn't let anyone but us touch him - being patted!) Carolyn and Mike were extremely easy to communicate with from the beginning. They looked after our home beautifully and even changed the sheets on their bed before they left. I highly recommend them, and you would be lucky to have them as your house sitters.

Caitlin and Ryan looked after our two cats while we were on holiday for a week and they were great! Cats were happy on our return and house was immaculate, which was very much appreciated!! They kept us updated but mostly left us to enjoy our holiday. Would definitely recommend ☺️

Where to start...? These two are not only the perfect pet- and housesitters, they are in addition wonderful interesting positive open-minded people. From the beginning the communication was great, we had a nice first video-talk and they arrived on time at our house where they were immediately seized by Ida and Moody to throw their ball. They loved them from the first moment. And from the first moment we felt a good vibe. As experienced housesitters they did not need a lot of explanations and we trusted them they will find the pots and the forks in the kitchen without big explanations ;)) When we left to leave them for one week in our house with our lovely soulmates Ida and Moody we had a good feeling that did not disappoint. They sent us pictures of the walks they did every day, pictures of their cuddlings, kept us informed while we were very busy on our business trip. All of this was very reassuring! The evening we came back home Corban had cooked a delicious new-zealand stew and we had a lovely talk surrounded by the dogs that felt so obviously comfortable with them! The house was clean and the plants did look great and we could immediately see that everything was treated with the utmost respect! So if you have the chance to invite Taylor and Corban as your housesitters...grab them!

Joy was a pleasure to have staying at our house and looking after our doggy. She is great to communicate with and well organised. Our Charlie had a great time and Joy sent photos of him by email during our holiday. The house was left in an immaculate condition and really appreciate her genuine care. Thoroughly recommend. All the best Joy and thanks again.

Naomi and Gjis are amazing, they did such a great job looking after Nelson and the house. They even went as far as leaving us fresh bread and milk which was great after having spent 30 hours on an airplane.

Lynn and Phil were fantastic pet and house sitters. The communication prior to the sit was easy and Kynn let us know their arrival and departure plans well in advance. They were very self-sufficient and we came home to a happy cat and clean and tidy house. They had also ensured our plants were watered and we came home to a beautiful bunch of flowers. I’d highly recommend them and would definitely have them back.

Annalou and Harry took great care of Oban. They looked after him for 8 days and we cam back to a clean and tidy house. We would have liked a few more updates but that hasn't taken away from the care they showed Oban and would certainly have pet sit again. House was clean and tidy when we got home.

This was our first time using a pet or house sitter and the bar set by Leslie is very high! She is warm, friendly, communicative, responsible and very clean. Upon arriving, she immediately bonded with our rat terrier, Oreo, by bringing him a new frisbee (his favorite toy/activity) and throwing it for him in our backyard.  Leslie has a sweet and mellow dog, Benny, who is now Oreo's new buddy! She kept my husband and I updated via texts/pictures of their daily activities, our house, and was proactive in asking questions before she left. She even dropped our dog off at the kennel for one night at the end of our trip since our flight was too late for us to get home for him!
Our home was clean and had fresh flowers from our garden that she put in vases for us! Such a simple and nice touch! 
We have asked Leslie to come back to sit for us again for 2 weeks in August. I'd highly recommend her to take care of your pet(s) and home too!

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.

I have nothing but great things to say about Jill! She’s a wonderful sitter and I felt so comfortable leaving my dog and cat in her capable hands while I was out of the country. She was thorough in making sure she knew exactly what each pet needed, had excellent communication, and provided me with daily updates. I came home to a house that was even tidier and more organized than when I left and two very loved pets. I would highly recommend Jill to anyone looking for a kind, caring, consistent pet sitter. Thank you so much Jill!!!

This was the 3rd time that Jill sat for us. That says it all but please read our previous reviews. They all stand and Jill is one of the best and most reliable and loving pet sitters we’ve ever had. If you have a chance to have her in your home and caring for your pets, you will be absolutely delighted. We love her.

Tom provided a last minute sit when my 2 week long trip got extended to the 3rd. The previous zeewoi sitter was no longer available for the 3rd week, and Tom came in as a savior. As requested, he started his sit a day prior to the posted dates (thank you for being flexible). He met the prior zeewoi in person, since I was not in town, and got to know the house and cats quickly. He sent pictures of the cats each day and added a note about their well being. He was independent and was able to figure out how to use the litter genie on his own. I returned to a clean home and healthy happy cats. Would love to have Tom return and recommend him to anyone leaving their pets in his care.

Ce was an amazing house sitter for our best bud Atlas. She not only took amazing care of our needy pup, she took great care of the home as well. I honestly think she left it cleaner than I left it for her! We certainly hope she is around the next time our best friend needs a friend. If you're looking for a responsible caregiver for your pets and home - look no further!

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!

Megan and her partner were INCREDIBLE pet & house sitters during my 5 days away last month.  I received consistent communication in the form of updates & photos and I had the true sense that Megan was invested in the wellbeing of my animals and truly enjoyed being with them! My house was CLEANER than I left it (immaculate!) and she left a sweet card thanking us upon our return. Truly the best sitting experience I've had thus far, thank YOU so much!

Farhan is a fantastic house sitter! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a down-to-earth, kind, and caring pet sitter for their home. We have three small dogs (around 6 lbs) and he took excellent care of them. They can be a little nervous/ timid around new people, and more so around men at times, but the dogs didn't show any of that nervousness around Farhan! He was gentle and respectful of their space and they warmed up to him immediately. I got a wonderful text the first morning that I was away that they cuddled up with him at night - showing how quickly they adjusted to him as their caretaker. I was able to meet Farhan in person before I left on my trip and I was able to have a wonderful conversation with an ambitious explorer. He is a delightful person. Upon my homecoming the house was very clean and the dogs were happy and relaxed. I can't ask for anything more! Thank you Farhan for taking such wonderful care of our three dogs and our home.
