Rachel took wonderful care of my cats for the three weeks I was traveling. It was her second sit for me. It was obvious from the photos she sent that they love her and feel comfortable with her, and knowing they were in such good hands allowed me to really enjoy my trip. Rachel is a clear communicator and left my house neat and tidy. She is also a kind, smart person with good vibes—I had a nice time chatting with her while getting her settled and oriented in the house. If you have a chance to hire Rachel as a sitter, don't hesitate!

I couldn’t have been happier with Julie‘s house and pet sitting during our recent trip. She kept me updated on the pets while we were away. The house was spotless when we returned. I highly recommend Julie!

Amanda and Nate were wonderful house sitters. We realized a few days before the sit that I had scheduled their arrival a day after we were leaving for vacation. Amanda and Nate were so accomodating and arrived a day before they had planned which was such a relief for us. Mopsy and Sadie enjoyed hanging out with them. Amanda sent updates and pictures during the week, which is always a treat We received pictures of Mopsy sitting next to Nate and Sadie getting nightly brushings from Amanda. We arrived home to find that our house was especially tidy and clean, which was so nice after being gone for 7 days! We did not need to clean anything up upon our return. Amanda sent us a detailed update at the time of their departure! :) We couldn't have asked for better house sitters/cat sitters! We would highly recommend Amanda and Nate.

Best sitters ever! Melissa and Corey arrived before I left and when I walked out my cat looked at me like “you still here?” I was clearly no longer her favorite human. I returned to a spotless home and a spoiled cat, as is her right to be. I hope Melissa and Corey pass this way again!

Santiago Daniel and their family did an excellent job sitting for my pets. We have horses chickens and very active dogs. They did not have a lot of experience with horses, but followed instructions well and took excellent care of them. The house was spotless when we returned. The plants had all been watered and all the pets were happy. We had issues with communication as I did not have service where I was. They managed very well when they were not able to get in touch with me and make good decisions. They were extremely responsible, polite, and very respectful of our home. We are hopeful that they enjoyed their sit and would love to have them return in the future. you won’t be disappointed having Santiago And Daniel watch your pets

This was the first time we used Lisa and we hope to use her again. She was extremely easy to coordinate the details of her and our trip. She and her husband were booked to stay at our home over thanksgiving and she mentioned she had a daughter who was in college. We invited her to come and stay with them during this holiday. They all three flew out the night before so we could go over details with them before our departure the next day. They were incredibly kind by offering to get up super early to take us to the airport. They texted us pictures of their adventures with the pups on a daily basis and the pups were never provided with so much attention and walks. They were extremely clean and tidy and the house was cleaner than when we left. The linens washed and changed and all the dishes were washed and replaced. It would have been hard to tell that there was anyone staying at our house. I cannot recommend Lisa enough and I truly hope she will consider a return to care for our pups and house.

Kelly was a wonderful pet sitter and house sitter!  Our dog Cooper adored her. She sent us pictures several times a day and he was always snuggling with her. She kept in touch with us regularly. We have never left our baby before and we were anxious about it but we ended up feeling totally comfortable with Cooper in Kelly’s care. She also kept our potted plants alive during a heat wave and took great care of the house. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

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.

We were lucky to have Andrea back for another sit with our elderly dog and feral cat. She has been wonderful both in the past and on this last sit for a month! We trust her implicitly and are always at ease that our pets will have the most kind and careful attention. 
She is excellent with videos and communication and very clean and tidy. 
Again we feel lucky to have found her, and feel she would be a great sitter for any pets!

Angela did a great job caring for Willie for 10 days while we were out of town. She was easy to communicate with and kept us informed about Willie, along with sending photos of him out on walks and at the beach. Angela was very accomodating when we needed to come home a day early - Thank you!
The house was left in good shape and it's clear that Angela is organized and reliable and clearly loves her pet charges. I'd recommend Angela and will definitely include her as one of our top sitter choices in the future! Thanks again, Angela!

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!

We had the pleasure of having Tara as our house sitter while we were away, and we can't praise her enough for the fantastic job she did. Not only did she take excellent care of our home, but she also showed tremendous love and attention to our beloved dogs.

From the moment Tara walked through the door, we could tell she had a genuine passion for animals. She immediately bonded with our dogs, and they seemed completely at ease with her. Throughout our trip, she provided us with regular updates and photos, which truly put our minds at ease knowing our boys were in great hands.

Tara took great care of our home as well. It was evident that she respected our space and coming back home, we found everything just as we left it, if not even better! 

We highly recommend Tara to anyone in need of a reliable, trustworthy, and caring house sitter. Her communication was excellent, and she proved herself to be a responsible and dedicated individual. If you want to ensure your pets and home are in the best hands while you're away, Tara is the perfect choice. 

Thank you, Tara, for taking such incredible care of our dogs and home. You made our trip stress-free, and we're truly grateful.

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!

Elaine was a welcomed sitter for Cyrus and Purrelli. I returned from holiday to find a very content relaxed dog and a happy fat cat. Purrelli doesn’t eat when he is stressed so seeing a little meat on him let me know he was content and happy :) My condo was left clean and in order, all communications were smooth and there was zero issues. Thx for the great pet care Elaine.
