We couldn't be happier with Linda and Matt! They were perfect sitters from the start, with great communication and planning to get everything organized. They were great with our cats and provided lovely updates on their progress; and when we returned home everything was clean and tidy. They even went the extra mile in dealing with some damage in the garden from some delinquent foxes, which we really appreciated. Would recommend them highly and would be delighted to have them to stay again.

Another great sit! No pets this is time, just our house. They took care of everything while we were away on an extended trip. The yard, exterior living spaces and interior spaces were so clean, it was like walking into a new house. They texted us re: issues that arise that they worked around, but wanted us to be aware. We trust them to take care of our home as we would and they deliver!

Marcia and Maui were excellent house and pet sitters. They loved on our little Ellie and spent most of their time at the house during their stay. They sent pictures and updates each day which always made us smile. The kitchen and house were in excellent shape and I even wonder if they hardly even used the kitchen. Our cat, Bucky, came out each evening and spent time with them, but did hide quite a bit during the day. They made sure we were successfully on our airplane and that the animals wouldn’t be left too long before they headed our at the end of the stay. We would recommend them to others.

Hands down the absolute best sitters! Troy and Jen are such a joy to work with from start to finish. I've gone back to them time and time again because they keep my mind at ease that everything will be taken care of while I'm away. They've taken great care of my kitties, my plants and yard, and my home. I'm always greeted with a perfectly tidy home when I return which is always such a nice treat especially after a long work trip. Troy and Jen are amazing!

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.

Andrew was terrific! Both an effective communicator and totally reliable, Otis loved him and he was especially attentive to our habits and the things that Otis is accustomed to. He also did a great job watering our plants and keeping the house neat and he left the house as clean as he found it (perhaps cleaner!). Highly recommend.

Esta is an excellent sitter and great communicator. She is a real trooper as she had to deal with power outages and downed trees. This was our first experience with the company and it couldn’t have been better for us.

Abby was truly the best pet sitter we've ever had. We were never concerned or worried about the care of our pups and home. All the neighbors have told me that the dogs looked happy on the many walks. She sent videos of photos about every other day. We hope that Abby will stay in our home next summer as well. Abby is very highly recommended by our whole family, including the dogs!!!

Not only did Krista take great care of our cat while we were away, she left the house cleaner than she found it. She also kept in touch with occasional photos and videos of kitty antics, which gave me peace of mind that the cat was well-cared for. We definitely recommend her as a house and pet sitter and would ask her again in the future!

Martin was a very conscientious and thoughtful house sitter who took excellent care of our pets and our home. He was reliable, self-sufficient, and a very good communicator. He clearly enjoys and cares for animals, and our house was spotless when we returned. We recommend him wholeheartedly!

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!

Angie and her husband Joe were a great fit for our house and pet sitting needs! They kept in communication with us before our vacation started, and were able to arrive a little early so we could walk them through how various systems worked and where controls were located. Our dog bonded with Angie very quickly and I think he was hoping she would stay after we returned home  :) 
We got regular updates and pet photos while we were traveling. Although we were out of cell phone range for several days, we never had a doubt that things at home would be just fine while they were there!
They were also very flexible and understanding. Due to our flight schedule we arrived home in the middle of the night. Angie was able to feed and walk our dog, clean up and leave in the morning without waking us up! The house was left clean, the garden was thriving and our pup was happy. We are happy, and would be happy to have them back again as sitters anytime.

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!

Jennifer was great and I would highly recommend her.  Right from the start, Jennifer was clear and helpful in her communication, and she was very available to us throughout the stay via messaging.  She sent pics of our fur babies regularly - without asking - which always makes us happy when we're away.  And the biggest compliment I can give:  when we came home, our pets were relaxed and happy, and no hidden cat messes to be found (we've had this happen with previous sitters a lot).

I would love to have Jennifer stay at our home again in future.

Thomas did an amazing job! We were very pleased with how well he was able to care for our 3 active Boston terriers. He was able to handle all 3 on a walk and feed them their special meal everyday. He even ventured out and took them to the beach which is no easy task for 3 excited dogs. Thomas did a great job communicating before and during the stay. We came home to a clean house with bedding washed. We had a handful of other pet sitters through this website and Thomas easily rates at the top of our list. Thank you for taking great care for the dogs and the house.

Judith was one of the most considerate, trustworthy sitters we've ever had. We had to leave in a rush for a family emergency and really didn't have time to prepare the house as we usually do, but Judith took all in stride, leaving the apartment spotless. She sent photos of Baby Boo and Janet on arrival, putting us immediately at ease because it was so obvious the cats were completely comfortable, zero stress, allowing us to relax that they were in such good hands. She sent photos and video every day, which delighted us, confident that they were getting next level care. Judith would take care of anyone's home and pets with as much care as she did at ours, and we highly recommend. Hope she can come back!!
