I had an excellent experience with Lorey as my pet-and housesitter. From the start, Lorey was incredibly communicative and friendly, which put me at ease knowing my pets and home were in capable hands. Throughout the long sit, she was consistently approachable, making it easy to stay in touch and feel confident that everything was fine at home. I couldn't be more satisfied. One of the most remarkable aspects was Lorey's connection with my cats. It was clear from the beginning that she has a genuine love for animals, and my cats took to her. They were calm and content when I returned, which speaks volumes about the care and attention they received. Thank you Lorey! Krauli and Lili love you. Overall, Lorey was not only trustworthy but also went above and beyond to make sure my home and pets were well cared for. I can only recommend Lorey to anyone in need of a thoughtful and responsible housesitter.

Wendy took excellent care of our cats and was a real trooper under difficult circumstances. On day 3 of a 10-day trip, our water heater stopped working. Wendy was able to shut off the unit and coordinate with us by phone to allow a plumber to access the house and diagnose the problem. It turned out that we needed a new water heater, which wasn't installed until the last day of Wendy's sit. We're so grateful that she took care of our cats despite the lack of hot water for a week!

Julie is an angel! She is the absolute best and has the kindest, softest soul and energy. Our cat LOVES her so much that this was her third stay with us and Dolce seems to get so excited when she comes over. We honestly just can't say enough great things about Julie. She's kind, respectful, organized, comunicative—generally just everything you want (and more) out of someone who is watching your pet while you're away! Don't hesitate to have Julie watch your sweet furry family members. If we could have her over every time we travel we would!!!

Pamela and Pedro were absolutely lovely and Twiglet was so happy with them. Their communication both before and during the sit was fantastic and we really enjoyed the daily photos and videos. The house was immaculate when we returned. I would highly recommend them and Twigs would love them to look her after again!

Melvin and Tadassi and their son took such good care of my cat Alaska. I feel very lucky to have had them stay in my home. They cared for her as if she were their own pet. They sent regular videos that allowed me to see how well things were going. They were available for any questions regarding Alaska and my home. They left everything clean and most importantly to me a happy cat. Thanks you so much for everything.

We can not recommend Joanne highly enough : she did a TREMENDOUS job taking care of our elderly cat who had just went through emergency surgery. Joanne took beautifully care of her, especially in everyday post-op treatments. She sent us pictures several times a day as we asked, so we could see how our cat was healing. She left our flat spotless, which was very much appreciated. Joanne truly is a real catlover, patient and caring. Nothing was too much trouble for her. We felt so relieved to have her take care of our cat, she was a life savier ! Thank you so much for everything Joanne, hope to see you again soon ! Nala misses you ;-)

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.

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 :)

Initially, I was very nervous about finding my very first in-home pet sitter who could provide the level of care and attention our 3 beloved fur-kids required. 

From the moment Emily and Johnny stepped into our home, I knew they were going to be in good hands. Their gentle demeanor and genuine love for animals instantly put our dogs Gypsy & Johnny at ease. Emily and Johnny took the time to understand our pets’ unique personalities and preferences, ensuring that their every need would be met.

During our absence, Emily provided us with regular updates and adorable photos. Their detailed communication gave me peace of mind, knowing that my fur babies were in the best possible hands. 
Upon our return, we were greeted by a happy and contented gang, who clearly had enjoyed their time with Emily and Johnny.

Emily and Johnny are more than just pet sitters; they are true companions to our furry family. Their exceptional care, genuine love for animals, and unwavering dedication have earned them a permanent spot in our hearts. 

Without hesitation, we give Emily and Johnny a 5-star rating and highly recommend their services to anyone seeking trustworthy and loving caregivers for their beloved pets.

THANK YOU Emily and Johnny!!! <3

I have had 4 pet sitters this year so far.  And Liz was the best!  She was wonderful with cats.  She has an easy going manner and is very comfortable to be around.  Very smart and she is a great communicator. She followed all directions and left the house spotless.  I highly, highly, highly recommend her!  I would have her again anytime!

Janis is absolutely the best pet sitter and home care we have had. She is a regular for us during our Christmas vacation because we totally trust her with the care of our three dogs and the management of our home. She is so good and efficient that I have already requested that she sits for us again next Christmas. Our three dogs absolutely adored her as she played fetch, took them on walks, loved and spoiled them. Management of our home was excellent. I had no concerns whatsoever as we had packages delivered and Mail that needed to be picked up. The house was in much better condition than what we left it. I highly recommend Janis and you will be fortunate to have her as your sitter.

Milly was a lovely house sitter and I’d highly recommend her. She submitted a really great application and after a FaceTime chat it was an easy decision to choose her for our sit. 
She is the youngest sitter we’ve chosen but she has a maturity beyond her years and it was clear she had so much experience with animals that we felt confident leaving her in charge of our menagerie. Olive our young Pom has never been left with a sitter before so we were a little worried about how she would be but Milly was so patient, gentle and kind that she quickly won Olive over. So much so, on the morning Milly was leaving ,Olive would only let Milly put her harness on her before going for a walk. All the animals were perfectly cared for while we were away and we returned home to happy pets and a tidy house. 
Milly’s communication from our first contact and right through the sit was great and she even sent a lovely video of the dogs having fun on their walk. 
I’d have Milly back to housesit for us again anytime.

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.

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!
