Fiona and Alan were excellent house sitters and took wonderful care of our menagerie. While we were overseas, we received regular updates and images of our pets and it was clear the animals were having their own holiday retreat. When we got back home, Fiona and Alan had made a lovely dish for us and left the house immaculate. We couldn't have been happier with the way they looked after our place and animals.

Kim and Rowan were wonderful sitters for Kato and for our home. They arrived on time. They left the house immaculate (Rowan kindly mowed our lawn) and left Kato, our over-sized lap-dog, happy and well-exercised. I have no hesitation in recommending them unreservedly.

Maria & Frank were wonderful looking after our house and dog Paddy. With a road closure, Frank flew over to look after Paddy on time while Maria joined him later on. Paddy was walked often and loved by them and was very happy and in good shape when we returned. The house was clean and tidy when they left and we have no hesitation recommending Frank & Maria and using them again.

What a fantastic couple! Eric and Lesley were extremely self sufficient and excited to explore the city of Brisbane while engaged in this sit. They created a wonderful bond with our dog, Chester, and looked after our house beautifully. We arrived back to a delicious home cooked dinner, a happy and contented dog and an immaculate home. We could not have asked for more!!! Eric and Lesley are everything you could want as Zeewoi and we would highly recommend them for future sits.

Dee came round to my home well before the sit, so we could all meet prior. When she came round for the sit, the dogs were really pleased to see her which was a great sign. Dee communicated really clearly, was on time and was very clean and tidy. And sent me msgs while I was away I felt very confident having her look after the animals and house.

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!

Kelly and Chris are lovely people and we loved having them at the house! They were very engaged from the start, asking questions and wanting to know all the details on our pets. We were completely comfortable going away and didn’t worry during our trip knowing our kiddos were in such great hands. K & C gave us pics & updates as requested, and we loved seeing our pets have such a good time with them! They left the house in as good or better shake as it was found, laundering and folding linens and tidying up so well we could hardly tell they stayed here! They were communicative before the sit, during, and after. Kelly and Chris were the ideal sitters in every way. We’d welcome them back anytime and highly recommend them to others. Thanks you two!

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!

Carolina was a fantastic Pet sitter. From the beginning, it was straightforward to communicate with her. She met us before we left our trip and ensured she understood all the house and pet logistics. Luna and Cal were very comfortable with her and were best friends with her fast. She was very affectionate with them, and Luna and Cal loved her and were very happy with her. Carolina was very responsive and sent updates. She was really lovely and easy to communicate with. She was very respectful of our space and very tidy. She even washed the sheets and towels she used even when she didn’t need to. She put a lot of care into caring for Luna and Cal, and they looked very comfortable with her. Having Carolina as a pet sitter made our trip very easy, knowing our pets were cared for so well. We would love to have her back to sit for us again and highly recommend her.

Melanie and Steve were excellent house & pet sitters. They sent me so many pictures of my 3 cats without me even asking and it made me so happy to see them enjoying their company. I'd say out of all the house sitters I've had, they spent the most time with my cats which means a lot to me. They are kind, easy to connect with and I'd welcome them back anytime. As far as caring for my house - top notch.

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.

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.

Gowri was very patient and caring with Irisi who got sick the day before I left.  I cannot commend her enough for how she rose to the occasion and took care of my baby.  She even pick up meds from the vet.  My cat, Squinty, was very comfortable with her to jump in bed and wake her up early in the morning (as he would with me).  I am not aware of him doing that to other sitters that have stayed at my place.   I would give her 6 stars for Pet care if I can!  She updated me with Irisi's condition which really help ease my mind, knowing someone looking after my furry really cared.   I would certainly have her back again!

Amazing experience! Five stars all the way...

Nikki was kind enough to watch our two cats Thomas and Toby while were away on our honeymoon. From the very beginning she made us feel comfortable with clear communication and quick replies. Since she was local in Atlanta we got to meet her ahead of time and hand off keys before we left. While we were away she sent pictures of our little buds having fun and being themselves, so we always knew they were ok. She always showed up exactly when she said she would from pickup to dropoff and it was so incredible to know they were in good hands, and we never had to worry. They love being around people so for her to have been able to stay with them and love on them regularly we came home and could immediately tell both Thomas and Toby felt great as they were completely comfortable. Much much different than when we leave even for a few days and have a pet sitter stop by and feed them. She asked all the necessary questions in advance, so she didn't have to email or ask anything while we were away.

She even took the time to make sure everything was neat and tidy, prepped the sheets to be changed, and was unbelievably sweet to get us a wedding gift we both love. 

Nikki we can't thank you enough for taking care of our cats, and we would only be so lucky if you stuck around town! :)
