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.

Hannah looked after our cat Felix for just shy of a week. Her communication was amazing, she was always in touch with updates and photos. Felix seemed happy and well looked after when we returned. I would recommend Hannah for your next sit!

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!!)

Our fur baby seems to be a pretty good judge of character and she absolutely agrees with all of Jill’s previous 5 star reviews. From easy and very pleasant communication prior, to a wonderful chat when we met, to lovely messages whilst we were away and the spotless house we return to, we can’t recommend Jill enough to anyone who would like some top notch care of their cats (or really any animal). Very grateful :)

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

Alex was super friendly, flexible and approachable. He made me feel super comfortable and took care of my cat Coco brilliantly. I came home to a ridiculously clean flat and a cuddly kitty. I would’ve loved more updates (pics/vids) but in all fairness, Alex did send some videos every couple of days and he replied to every single one of my messages very quickly so I’m sure he would’ve sent more updates if I had asked him to do so. I couldn’t recommend him enough, and he is welcome back any time! Coco misses you already! 🐈‍⬛

Chris was a great housesitter. Both cats were drawn to him right away (including the shy, reclusive one!). He was communicative without needing to text us all the time, and left our house spotless.

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.

Lani is an excellent Pet Sitter and housesitter. Communication was easy, our pet Cleo appreciated her loving care. We came home to a relaxed and happy cat.
I would happily ask Lani to housesit again.

Meg was a dream pet sitter for my three year old labradoodle. She gave him nice long walks and was very organized, communicative and tidy. I look forward to another opportunity to have Meg in my home!

Mary Jessica was a wonderful house and pet sitter for our GIANT dog Mamma Mia. She took extremely good care of our house with it cleaner than we left it upon our return. Our neighbors remarked on all the walks she gave Mamma and Mamma seemed very pleased with the entire experience. Mary Jessica was self sufficient, needing very little instruction outside of our Welcome Guide. She followed everything I wrote and asked how much communication I’d want. I’m very pleased and would both recommend her and love to have her again.

I had the pleasure of having Tracey and her two children as house sitters, and I can't praise them enough for the incredible job they did. From the moment they stepped into our home, it was evident that they were dedicated, caring, and attentive to every detail.

First and foremost, Tracey's approach to caring for our house and our beloved pets was nothing short of excellent. She has an innate ability to connect with animals, and it was clear from the daily updates and photos that our pets were happy and thoroughly pampered. The house was kept in immaculate condition, and they treated it with the utmost respect as if it was their own.

Moreover, Tracey demonstrated remarkable responsibility and initiative when our AC system unexpectedly broke down. Without hesitation, she arranged for an HVAC company to come and fix the issue, taking time from her day to ensure our home was taken care of. Her willingness to front the repair costs until I could reimburse her was an act of kindness and trust that you rarely see.

Tracey and her children's thoughtfulness and thoroughness provided me with peace of mind during my time away, which is priceless. I returned to a home that was just as I left it, if not better. Their stay was characterized by an extraordinary level of care and I was particularly impressed by how they left the house in perfect condition, with happy pets to welcome me back.

I wholeheartedly recommend Tracey to any future hosts. Her reliability, compassion, and the ability to handle unexpected situations with grace are commendable. I would welcome Tracey and her children back to house sit in a heartbeat – they are exactly the kind of house sitters that one hopes for on this site!

Thank you, Tracey, for everything. You and your children are welcome back anytime!

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!

We've had many pet sitters over the years (this is our first time using this app) and Missy is the best sitter we've ever had for our dog and cats. Our pets, particularly our dog, adored her and was really sad to see her go. It is obvious she loves animals and immediately understood the pack dynamics and the pet personalities. She kept the house tidy, litter box clean, and the animals so well loved.  
Because she was traveling from far away, she stayed with us the night before our trip and the night we came back. It was a pleasure to get to know her. We would welcome her back to our house as a friend or a sitter anytime. Highly recommend!

Jessica was an awesome pet sitter for my cat Fifi. 
She texted photos and updates everyday so I knew that Fifi was being well cared for. 
She was communicative and asked a lot of good questions to make sure she understood Fifi's needs. 
My home was equally as clean (if not more so) upon my return. 
I would highly recommend Jessica!

Jerry and Suzanne were absolutely ideal sitters for our home and pets. We spoke with them ahead of their visit and could tell that they are genuine pet and travel lovers. Over their stay we got to see even more that they are wonderfully friendly, kind, and responsible - plus they kept us laughing with their updates and descriptions of our pets' antics while we were away. Our pets and plants were well loved and our house was spotless upon our return home, and they were even kind enough to leave a few goodies in the fridge. Our dog in particular seemed to miss them and their long walks around the neighborhood. Thank you Jerry and Suzanne! We wish you well in your travels!
