Val and Steve were DREAM petsitters, and you should not hesitate to trust the care of your pets and home to them. Their communication prior to and throughout the stay was top notch, including detailed notes from each day about when they watered plants, and new restaurant recommendations they discovered .They showed up to our front door like pros with doggie treats in their pockets already, and our pups were immediately smitten with them. They left the home immaculately clean even when we told them not to bother, haha. We had a lovely meal with them upon arrival and enjoyed getting to know them on a personal level- would love to visit with them again! Val and Steve- thank you again SO much- it was a treat to know our pups were in such good hands! Enjoy the rest of your trip back to the east coast!

Nancy arrived early to the sit to make sure she could go over everything needed! She was very experienced and obviously was a lover of both dogs and cats. She seemed right at home with Tillie as well as with my house. She was confident she could handle anything that came up and I'm sure that she could. I felt very comfortable with her right away. My house was "neat as a pin" when I returned, not a thing out of place. Nancy also did the linens and towels and remade the bed which was a huge help to me as I will be traveling again in less than a week. Nancy figured out Tillie's quirks right away and we had a laugh. She communicated to me that all was going well while I was gone. All in all, I would recommend Nancy for any house sit.

We feel very fortunate to have had Ginger and Jeff take care of our cats, house, and garden. They did a great job of that, but they also brought a calm presence that reflected in the mood of our cats upon our return. When we returned the house was spotlessly clean. The sheets and towels were washed and changed. And the garden was well tended. We could not have asked for more. In summary, we would happily welcome Ginger and Jeff back into our home. For they were not only exceptional sitters, they are also exceptional people.

Carol-Ann and Lana (her daughter) were wonderful! They wound up taking me to the airport when I realized I have booked the wrong time for my Uber! Talk about going the extra mile! They took wonderful care of the dogs and the house and I hope they come back. I will be happy to have them any time.

Mark and Isabel were the BEST! Mark was here by himself for a week of the sit due to Isabels family emergency, but he honored the sit commitment even though she was not able to join him till a week later. They are top notch care givers. Very communicative and sent pix every other day to me to assure me of my kitties care. I would 100% have them sit for me again. Anyone would be lucky to have them for a sit. My house was cleaner than when I left it, which I so appreciated after being gone for 13 days. And my fur babies seemed happy and content.

Natalie and Christian were dream pet sitters while we were out of the country for 2.5 weeks. From start to finish, they were reliable and professional, with excellent communication. They had took great care of our dog and chickens and left the house and car in great shape. Plus, they’re just a really sweet young couple. We’d highly recommend them as house sitters.

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!!

We would absolutely recommend them as responsible and thoughtful pet sitters who can be entrusted with the care of your home and pets.

Rachel was an excellent pet sitter for my cat. She was a good communicator and also kept my place very tidy. She even left me a gift of a bar of chocolate upon her departure! Highly recommend.

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.

Ramona and Brandon were the perfect sitters! They rescued me and were very accommodating with my needs. Ramona's communication with me was A1. We spoke multiple times before she arrived and throughout the sit. She was good at keeping me updated and I was very grateful for that, being so far away. 

The pets gravitated toward them from the moment they arrived and you could see that all she and Brandon wanted to do was spoil the pets with lots of cuddles. My female pup was in heat and they handled that very well and were able to keep her and my male dog separated. I could only imagine how exhausting that may have been but they didn't complain one bit.  

Ramona and Brandon had to hand over the sit to another sitter and were kind enough to write out the details and everything they observed to make the transition a seamless one. I must say, it helped tremendously. 

I'd have them back in a heartbeat to sit for me as they showed that I could trust them, not only to take care of my pets but to respect my home they way they would their own. Thanks again for making my trip away worth it!

Megan and her partner were INCREDIBLE pet & house sitters during my 5 days away last month.  I received consistent communication in the form of updates & photos and I had the true sense that Megan was invested in the wellbeing of my animals and truly enjoyed being with them! My house was CLEANER than I left it (immaculate!) and she left a sweet card thanking us upon our return. Truly the best sitting experience I've had thus far, thank YOU so much!

Deboraj took great care of the apartment and of our goofy unsociable cat. She went out of her way to bring catnip and make friends with Rowan. She communicated often and cared to be as good a house and pet sitter as could be. I can gladly recommend her highly to anyone else looking.
Thank you Deborah.

Anna was the perfect sitter for Tali, Mac and Sox. From the first moment we met Anna we all got on extremely well and we had no worries about leaving our pets in her safe hands. Anna gave them loads of fun time and company, lovely walks and snuggles in front  of the TV. Thanks for all the fun we had before and after the sit too. We would not hesitate to recommend Anna for any sit.
