Barbara is a wish come true for any pet parent. From communication, to flexibility, to thoughtful questions to make sure she was giving Bruce the best care — she is the best house sitter I’ve ever worked with. Highly recommend.

Andrea is a great and caring sitter who I found quite trustworthy with taking good care of my babies. She took her commitment quite seriously and always prioritized my little ones' needs, was friendly and communicative, quite clean, and had lots of information written down for me upon my return. Thanks for being so caring, Andrea!

I can't say enough wonderful things about Stacey and her two kids! Stacey is reliable, dependable, and has great communication skills. Her and the kids took great care of my two boys while I was away. I don't even think they knew I was gone. Stacey kept in touch daily, with updates and pics, which made me feel good knowing that my boys were in good hands. When I arrived home, my apartment was clean and tidy. I would definitely have Stacey and the kids back to sit again. I also highly recommend her for your sit.

Kristen & George were awesome with our cat Diego! We had just moved into a new place, so Diego was a bit shy and scared, but they took great care of him when he did finally come out. We felt comfortable while we were away that Diego was in safe and reliable hands!

Kristine was such a lovely and amazing pet sitter!! I loved that she made it her personal mission to make my cats comfortable and allow them (in their own time) to love her. Mya let her pet her, Blu took her on multiple “patrols” around our pool, and they both loved her! She was in constant communication, shot excellent videos of both my kitties and loved our home and cats like her own. I highly recommend Kristine - she is a wonderful person and fantastic pet sitter!! 🩷

Jennifer and Dan were amazing. My house is full of pets. 2 silly pits and 2 cats. My dogs both take medication, one has allergies and the other anxiety. To top it off the one with anxiety is a puppy. Jennifer and Dan were patient and loving towards all the fur babies. I think my pets miss them. They sent pictures and updates almost daily. The animals clearly miss them. Jilli lays her head where Dan used to sit and play daily ❤️Jennifer let my boy pit be a lap dog 😊❤️ my house was neat and tidy, their personalities are loving and kind. I am a fan! I hope to have them return as I think my pets would love to see them again.

It was so wonderful to have Karen back! I feel at ease when she’s caring for Rocky and my home. She’s a great communicator and left my house spotless. Grateful she returned to pick up where she left off with Rocky - and that she forgives him for being a bed hog! :)

Once again, having AnnaMarie take care of our pups was absolutely the right choice!! Her frequent updates, care of our house and fur babies was stellar! Although the dogs were thrilled to see us when we returned, as we chatted with Annemarie, we could see them continuing to go to her for affection and cuddles. It was so sweet to watch our one-year-old lick her ear and Annamarie just giggled and happily tolerated it. What a great sport😎. We would highly recommend her to anyone and would also suggest if you happen to see a less than perfect review for her ( there is only 1)I know the true story... it's unfortunate that some people are so unappreciative of someone who will go out of their way to care for their home and Pets (at no charge🙃🙃)-- it just boggles my mind and am confident they are not being honest!  Suffice it to say she is a gem and perfect sitter in every way- if you can get a chance to book with her- do not hesitate! We truly think of her as part of our family now and all 5 of our pups would agree!

Hanna did an excellent job sitting Molly, Eddie, Jasper, and Miley. She communicated well, took notes on our initial meet and greet. She went out of her way to help us get the dogs to a kennel when we experienced a family emergency  and could not extend her sit due to work commitments. The dogs loved her and the shy kitties came out of greet her mid stay. She left our home immaculate and well cared for. She is truly a winning pet sitter in our eyes! We hope she can come again sometime.

What a lovely couple Tara and Tyler are. They had been in Scottsdale about six weeks before the house sit. and can to meet us. Rusé, our Toy Fox Terrier, fell in love with them immediately, and was in Tara’s arms within two minutes. We always like our sitters to arrive the day before we leave, take them out to dinner and get to know them. It was quite apparent from the videos and photos we received, that Rusé did not miss us. Tara and Tyler’s three grown up children joined them before Xmas-to Rusé’s delight as these were additional hands to throw his rubber bones and balls. The house was all clean and tidy, when we returned.. There is a strong possibility that Tara and Tyler will move to Arizona from Montana, with two of their children, recently moved to the area. They have already offered to look after Rusé in the future. We know he would love it. We cannot recommend Tyler and Tara higher enough, they were perfect House and Pet sitters

Sharon was by far the best sitter I’ve ever had! From the very first time we connected, she was communicative and proactive with follow up. She asked great questions prior to her stay and I could tell she’s done this many times and that she genuinely cares about the pets and homes she cares for. Sharon went above and beyond to leave my house in ever better shape, cleaning and organizing. It was a dream to come home to! Thank you Sharon!

Bard and Kim are amazing house sitters and pet care givers.  I would recommend them over and over.  I wish I could add numbers to the scale.
They would get a 10+.  

Bard and Kim were super easy to work with, efficient, self-sufficient, and considerate.  They took immaculate care of my home; it was definitely cleaner after they left!  I would recommend them without hesitation over and over.

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.

Laura was amazing with communication from the very beginning. She sent updates of photos and videos without even being told or asked to do so. She was watching our cat and treated her like her own. Laura was also very responsive when we were trying to find a sitter for our dates and answered any and all questions we had about her experience with pets and house sitting. I would recommend her to anyone! :) and hope we can have her house sit again for us.

Laura is hands down the best sitter that we have ever had care for our pets and house! Having her stay made our trip away so care free and added a super fun layer of getting her daily (morning and night!) updates with photos and videos, some were hilarious I love Laura’s sense of humor! We were gone 8 days and when’s we arrived home our house was cleaner than when we left,  mail on the counter, yard was picked up, it was beyond what we would expect. This made our first day back so easy. Oh’ and our pets were so relaxed and happy we knew they were loved and taken care of while we were away. Laura knew that we were coming home late and she even had bought a yummy quiche, rolls, fruit and juice so that we had breakfast in the morning!  Laura is responsive, a great communicator, I could go on but simply put she is welcome at our house anytime. Simply the best!! Thank you tons Laura!!

If you’re lucky enough to find Anna as your pet sitter you will have peace of mind and well cared for pets whilst you are away and a clean and tidy home on your return. Anna is thoughtful and kind, she arrived the evening before the sit which allowed for some time to hear about her interesting travels and work, kept me updated with fabulous photos and details of the friendship she was making with the cats and even took the trouble to fix a sticky catch on the cat flap. I can recommend her as a sitter without hesitation. Thank you Anna

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!
