Patricia was a fantastic petsitter! You couldn't ask for better! She took care of my two elderly dogs and adored them. She left my home spotless. She kept in regular contact with me both before and during my trip and made sure that my flight got home before she left. You would be so lucky for her to petsit for you!

Rhyss & Jean ware were amazing! Minnie was so well taken care of. Rhyss & Jean both took Minnie for 3 walks a day, she usually only gets 2 so this was a real treat for her. I was sent either a video or photo every time they walked Minnie. This I really appreciated. My home was cleaner when I got back than when I left. I so appreciated that after a long day of traveling and not getting in til after midnight. I also really appreciated that they walked Minnie late evening knowing that I would be home late. They are both amazing people that go well above to ensure that you and your pet are well taken care of.

Victoria was so tidy I couldn't tell she was even there. Her natural instinct with birds was fantastic. Pretty went right to her when she arrived. She wasn't as interactive as Pretty prefers but after all she is a very spoiled bird.

Pauline & Nick were great pet/house sitters. They kept us updated every day, sent pictures of our pets, and they were very conscientious about the care they provided. We came back to a spotless home, happy pets, and the calm and comfort so appreciated after our trip away and exhaustion from flights, etc getting home. We were so grateful knowing they were taking such excellent care of our home and pets. We’d definitely have them back again.

Nicole was a great housesitter and pet care provider. The house looked cleaner when we came back from our trip then before we left. They washed their own sheets and even folded and put away towels. I couldn’t believe it. They were great with our two doggies as well. They kept us updated with them and sent some pictures too.

What is the absolutely WORST thing that can happen? Your pets abandoned, with zero notice and the inability to get the "sitter" to respond to inquiries about your pets' status while you're in Hawaii panicking about your pets in California. Then, when you're able to get a friend to check on the status of your home and pets (because Claudia would not respond to me), you find that your house has been left wide open and unlocked. There was also a general lack of attention to the pets. She sent me a photo of my cat and asked me "who is this one". The cat in the photo was the cat she was supposed to be caring for. I found out she locked my cat out and let a stray in, instead. When I inquired further, I didn't hear anything for more than 24 hours despite reach out out a couple of times. Okay - but what about her side of the story? Claudia had a legitimate gripe, the cats were keeping her up at night because of an unusual situation: We've recently had to keep the cats inside at night because we had a problem with a skunk. The cats wanted to go in/out at will as they were accustomed to. I think the big, festering problem is that she didn't alert me to any of this until after 3 nights. My IMMEDIATE response to Claudia upon learning this was: "Oh, no. What a nightmare!! I am so sorry!! Let me try to think of a solution. Is the problem with both cats, or just Bing Bing" and "Wow - that is not okay!! What can I do? If I have someone take your place, is that better for you?" I also offered to have my daughter pick up the offending cat so that Claudia could finish her stay, if that's what she preferred. Note: the words in quotations are exact quotes of my messages. I was willing to stop everything to deal with Claudia's concerns immediately and do just about anything that would have made her happy. I even told her she could leave the cats for a few days (she lives less than 2 hours away) if she needed a break. Claudia also found the internet not fast enough. This is something we explicitly discussed before the sit - I had recently noticed that the internet had been less consistent than a few months ago. Claudia assured me that she understood and has an "amplifier" to plug into the wall that would be enough. When it wasn't, and she let me know, within MINUTES of learning this, I was on the phone to Verizon - I thought I had the fastest service, but apparently they changed things (which explains why I noticed a slowdown) and there was now faster service, so I increased it immediately. [For any potential future pet sitters, there is a simple "speed test" I can do that will measure the exact upload/download speed. She thought there was an issue with the washer/dryer, but that turned out to be user error. The power went out one time for 40 minutes. This is, unfortunately, not uncommon in California during fire season. Thankfully it's usually brief. I have found my laptop battery to be sufficient to manage the brief gap. Cell towers have generator backup, so wifi/cellular coverage is uninterrupted. I am heartbroken that this sit ended this way. Heartbroken because it sucked for everyone involved but could have so easily been avoided by simple communication from Claudia. I have had friends and neighbors petsit with no problems. I have Airbnb'd my house with a 4.97* cumulative rating. If only Claudia had simply reached out, I would have accommodated her in just about any way possible. Instead, she stayed silent, then would not even acknowledge the remedies I suggested and abandoned my pets, instead.

Lisa and her friend Sara were amazing pet and house sitters! We can't say enough great things about them - our pets were so calm when we returned from our trip and so happy... Lisa and Sara kept in touch with us regularly and sent us beautiful photos of the pets as well. We returned to a spotless home, fresh flowers and a note with polaroids of Soy, Calvin and Chickie! We absolutely loved hosting Lisa and Sara and highly recommend them, they are some of the best sitters we have ever had and they're welcome back anytime!!

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.

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.

Not only did our pets enjoy meeting Kelly and Christopher, my husband and I enjoyed meeting them as well!  They are personable and kind, organized and communicative, and most of all excellent pet sitters.  
      Kelly and Chris are attentive housesitters.  They went out of their way to connect with our dogs, especially Smitty, our rescue.  The dogs were walked, brushed, and played with throughout the weeklong sit. They sent pics of how our fur babies were doing and truly seemed to enjoy their time with them.  The peace of mind that comes with great house sitters  who care for your precious pups and the home you love is priceless.  Thank you once again, Kelly and Christopher!  We hope to see you again!

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.

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!

Shella was a great house sitter and I had no concerns leaving her in charge when we went away.  She kept in touch while we were away and we returned to happy pets and a tidy house.  What more can you ask?!  I would be more than happy to welcome Shella back to house sit another time.
