Ross and Wyn were brilliant sitters, grass mown, pool cleaned and Dolly and Ike very well cared for, couldn’t wish for a nicer couple to look after our home.

Gwenda and Kevin were a sheer joy to have as sitters. They were organised, thoughtful, caring and good planners and evidently cared for the animals and the house while we were away. They kept in touch with updates and any questions. And even arranged calls for when Aiden was missing the cats and wanted to check-in with them. Meeting them in person after the sit was lovely and we enjoyed a cup of tea before they left We would recommend Gwenda and Kevin for any future sits!

I feel so lucky to have Joshua look Raven and my home again. He provides regular updates on Raven's well-being, including videos and his communication is amazing. I always come home to a clean home and knowing I will be coming back late (or exhausted from sailing) Joshua leaves me the most delicious leftovers which I can't express how grateful I am for :D

This was our first experience using cat/house sitters so I was a bit nervous but right from the off Gwenda and Keith reassured me. What a great choice we made! Excellent communication before and during their stay, daily updates on the cats and mad kittens behaviour, with photos. I was completely at ease whilst away, knowing that Gwenda and Keith were doing a brilliant job. The kittens, we are a foster family for a local cat charity, were super friendly when we got back, I know Gwenda and Keith spent lots of time with them. Even my more scardy cat came to them for strokes. On our return the house had been left clean, sheets etc washed and a bunch of flowers. Perfect. If all pet sitters are like this fantastic couple, I'll be going on holiday more often!

Faye kindly ‘held the fort’ for us for a couple of days so we could complete a visit planned before my husband ruptured his Achilles’. Thoughtful, kind and friendly, Faye looked after the dogs, donkeys and hens beautifully and everyone was in great form when we got home. Our place was spotless and everything in place - a perfect couple of carefree days away for us. We are so grateful for Faye’s capable help - welcome again any time! Thank you Faye!

Joyce was fantastic and I think the Mary Poppins of pet sitting!! We’d definitely ask her to sit again in the future. We could see that the dogs loved her and we felt so lucky that she could stay for the whole 6 weeks. I was reassured leaving for the trip as I could tell from the outset that our pets were in very kind and capable hands.

Esther was a wonderful sitter. She was very sensitive to our two cats Nala and Lia and immediately gained their trust. She arrived the evening before our departure so that we could explain everything in detail and the cats could sniff her out. That evening it was already clear to us that we could go on vacation without any worries. Updates and photos arrived daily, confirming that our pets were doing well. Esther is a wonderful and warm person. She also took a great interest in my personal fate, which was happening at the time. I don't take this for granted and I am incredibly grateful for this and of course for the great care of our cats, house and garden. We can warmly recommend Esther and hope that we will be able to welcome her back again. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Dawn and her family were perfect house and pet sitters looking after Luna and Tiffany. The house was beautifully clean and tidy when we arrived home and Luna clearly quite happy. She had obviously been exercised well as was very tired and slept a lot on our first day home. We would happily recommend Dawn as a housesitter for anyone wanting kind, reliable sitters

Anthony looked after our house, Merlin and Nellie for a week. The animals were very well loved and looked after. Anthony’s communication was great and very reassuring that Merlin and Nellie were in safe hands. Merlin was walked twice a day and is definitely missing his big walks with Anthony 😊 The house was left spotless and lovely to come home too. I would highly recommend Anthony to be your trusted pet sitter and would happily have Anthony back to look after Merlin and Nellie again.

Mary was fantastic from start to finish and looked after our elderly dog with love and attention to her needs. She also looked after our home with respect and care. We couldn't have asked for a nicer sitter and would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.

We feel like we’ve won the pet and house sitter lotto with Scott. 
Most importantly, he’s taken great care of our much loved little dog, giving him a lot of care, affection and attention.
He paid close attention when Tingsha began scratching (allergy to an insect bite) which needed vet care, with great communication with us. 
He even took Tingsha to his agility school class each week (great fun had by all) and to get a groom. We’ve come home to a contented and very happy dog. 
The house is spotless, cleaner than we left it, with fresh flowers and the bed all made up. Perfect! 
We had regular contact with Scott all through our five week trip and being “fellow travellers” (in all senses) enjoyed sharing lots of local travel tips and experiences as we each visited new parts of the world. 
We were happy to lend Scott our car and he’s been great with it, super responsible. 
Scott is a really terrific guy and a fabulous journalist and story teller (you must listen to his podcast about his travels, it’s a cracker). 
In sharing our home and trusting our beloved dog with him, we feel like we’ve made a new friend along the way. 
We recommend Scott without any hesitation and thank him for a wonderful experience, we’d love him to come back and see us, anytime. Thanks a bunch!

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!

Tom provided a last minute sit when my 2 week long trip got extended to the 3rd. The previous zeewoi sitter was no longer available for the 3rd week, and Tom came in as a savior. As requested, he started his sit a day prior to the posted dates (thank you for being flexible). He met the prior zeewoi in person, since I was not in town, and got to know the house and cats quickly. He sent pictures of the cats each day and added a note about their well being. He was independent and was able to figure out how to use the litter genie on his own. I returned to a clean home and healthy happy cats. Would love to have Tom return and recommend him to anyone leaving their pets in his care.

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.

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!

Laura is incredible!  For starters, she is a clear and considerate communicator who is reliable and trustworthy while setting up details for a sit in advance.  From there... where do we start?!  Laura (and her sister Stephanie, for a few days) took care of our cat & dog for a week-long sit. We were immediately at ease with both of them, and it was clear that they were excited to meet our pets and love them, and relaxed and comfortable in this role. They asked informed and curious questions about our pets, routines, and the surrounding area to set up a successful sit. When we departed, our dog hardly seemed to notice, because she was getting to know her new people! 

The snuggle-fest and hiking adventures that took place while we were gone resulted in happy pets who were calm and content. We received daily photos, which were heart warming, and assured us that dog hugs and cat exercise were taking place.  Our dog is very affectionate, and Laura made sure that she received plenty of love while we were gone. Upon return, our home was spotless - tidy and clean (possibly cleaner than when we left, and we tried really hard!) We are games people, and Laura left us some of her favorite games to play (yay), and gifts for our pets, which were so fun to open when we got home.  Everything was so thoughtful and kind. 

Laura is absolutely one of the top sitters we've ever had, and we are so grateful for her care.  She went above and beyond basic home/pet care, and her compassion shines through in all of her communications and actions. She (and Stephanie) are welcome anytime, and we (Zora and Morris especially) hope they will come stay again!

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.

Jacob sat for us during our holiday in March. 
We do not have any pets but we do have garden plants etc to look after. 
Jacob did a fantastic job of looking after the young plants that had arrived by post the day before we went away. He sent us regular updates and photos of how the plants were doing.  
We came home to a very clean and tidy house and thriving plants. 
Jacob did a great job and we have no hesitation in recommending him. If he comes back to the Uk and we require a sitter we will contact him first. 
Well done Jacob.

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!
