Rose
Rose and mark were fantastic. Very professional and caring sitters. I never felt that I needed to worry about anything. They left my home in the condition as if they had never been there. I, absolutely couldn't have been more impressed and pleased.

Annie
Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.

Jordan & Nataki
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!

Francesco
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!

Everything was great even though they were here for some unfortunate circumstances (hurricane and extended power outage). Sent frequent updates and our cat seemed to like them.

Hannah
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!

Misti
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!

Lilly & Thomas
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.

Gwynn
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!

Courtenay
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle

Wendy
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.

Julian & Susan
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Mike
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.
Jessica
I felt that my dogs were in good hands with Billy & Cherice - both pups seemed happy and well cared for when I returned from my 3-week trip. My home was also clean and tidy. This was my first experience using an unknown sitter and I felt nervous to leave my dogs for so long while traveling abroad. If they were to stay again I would request more regular photo updates, but otherwise was very happy with Billy and Cherice's pet and home care.
Branden
Prashant and India were fantastic pets sitters for us. Both were dependable and were even kind enough to allow some service people into the home to do some repairs. Our dogs were well looked after and we got daily updates on how the dogs were doing. Prashant is very knowledgeable and gave us a few strategies to combat some negative behaviors that we were seeing with the dogs. Could not recommend them more. They will be missed.
Robert
Kelly was flawless, she was a fantastic pet sitter and house sitter. She was over communicating with pictures and updates. We were at total peace knowing Kelly was overseeing Leo and Bella. Kelly connected with our dogs perfectly. We loved how Kelly daily took our dogs for walks and even an extended hikes. She has our full and complete recommendation.
Jess
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!
Kate
Lindsay and Bryce provided excellent care to our two cats while we were gone. They are great communicators, took amazing care of our apartment and send regular updates and photos so that we knew all was going well. We would absolutely recommend them as responsible and thoughtful pet sitters who can be entrusted with the care of your home and pets.
Nanette
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.
Sharon
Rebecca was the best pet sitter ever! Our chocolate lab, Kona, fell in love with her instantly and loved every minute of being around her. She was extremely attentive to Kona, taking him for daily walks and she did a great job of sending us updates, video clips and photos. We really loved that, knowing that Kona was being so well taken care of. As my husband said, "OMG, she is the Dog Sitter Champion of the world!!!" She is definitely at the top of our list for future dog sitting. If we could give her 10 stars, we would! Thank you so very much, Rebecca! You were amazing! The best ever!!!

5 stars? Minimum, seriously, Tyler exceeded our expectations and we are DEMANDING when it comes to caring for our 4 pups! Fortunate to meet Tyler in person about a month prior, instant rapport, and she was basically born surrounded by animals. Professional high energy, and enthusiastic love for animals! We asked Tyler "Why the heck would you drive 1.5 hours from Nashville to hang in our small town?" Tyler replied "Have had animals all my life, current Nashville location cannot, I need my animal fix!" Tyler arrived the evening prior to our departure, met our 4 dogs, the eldest is special needs with bad hips, the youngest a wild child 2 year old husky, and in the 15 years of having family or friends assist with our pup sitting, this is the most positive and enthusiastic our dogs have been to anyone outside our home. It was an instant love affair. Our dogs are so spoiled with mom & dad working from home, nearly 24/7 attachment, they typically become depressed, despondent, ornery, you name it, even if we go out for 2-3 hours. The 3 instances where we did an overnight trip or the like, they acted as if we had abandoned! When we came home after 3 nights away (was going to be 5 but business cut our first vacation in 10 years short), when we walked in the 4 of them looked up as if to say "Oh your home how nice" and were content as if we had never left. That is a FIRST in 15 years. Not only did Tyler provide us with updates, photos, messages, etc. she organized (we did not require nor ask) our complete chaos of a large kitchen drawers, pots pans, you name it, it was the most organized we have been in a LONG time. Our eldest handicapped Husky, usually has accidents in the house at least once a day. The youngest 2 year old loves to chew up the carpet, toys, bedding. Under Tyler's watch, no accident, no chewing, and total happiness from a new affectionate friend! This was our VERY FIRST Trusted House/Pet sitter foray, and Tyler far exceeded or expectations, and set a standard that will be difficult for others to follow. Allowing a total stranger to watch your beloved pets and home is a serious undertaking, and Trusted House/Pet provided us with a rock star. Family and friends alike joke how we are over the top with our dogs, and Tyler did not bat an eye, and provided a seamless transition of puppy affection and well being. This review may seem over the top to some, all I can say is this is 100% true to life, and other Home/Pet owners are welcome to reach out to us for further referral. Those who are able to work with Tyler depending on her work/travel schedule would be well served to invite her without hesitation. Tyler, THANK YOU for allowing us to enjoy a few nights for the first time in a decade! Dean & Diana Smith

Heath spent a long weekend at my home taking great care of both dogs and the cat. He was able to help out on rather short notice, and I felt very comfortable leaving my pets in his care. Heath is friendly and reliable and left my home neat and tidy. I would definitely recommend him as a house/pet sitter for future assignments!

Thank you Sonja, as you know we think you are amazing. Sonja has been walking Milo for around a year now. Unfortunately despite lots of socialisation as a pup Milo was bitten by one of his brothers whilst playing and after this he became anxious, reactive and frustrated around other dogs. We worked for ages on his behaviour with training techniques and although we were getting somewhere, walks and trips out as a family were still very stressful. Then along came Sonja! Sonja has worked really hard with our gorgeous boy on her walks with him and he is now a completely changed dog. Not only has this changed things for Milo but it has also enriched our life as a family as we are now able to take him out to parks, the woods, etc with us without the fear of stress. We have followed Sonja’s advice and guidance on his separation anxiety too and that also has really really helped. I would reccomend Sonja for any training needs, she has a wealth of knowledge and understanding but more importantly gets to know you and your beloved pets which is super important when trying to alter behaviours that can often be deep seeded. We look forward to continuing to work with Sonja to continue to make the precious years we have with Milo as calm and stress free as possible. X
We have been utilising Sonja and A&S Pet Services for almost 5 years! This was initially to look after our 2 chinchillas when we went on holiday and then we added 2 cats to the mix! Now we rely on Sonja for any and all overnight stays whether that's still for a holiday, a quick visit to friends or a longer work contract elsewhere in the country. Sonja is very reliable, quick to respond to communications, looks after the animals excellently, sends us updates/texts/pics, and is always clean and tidy. In fact whenever we return we're sure our fur babies would prefer to keep having Sonja rather than have us come back!!! We would not hesitate to recommend A&S Pet Services for all your pet support needs!
My two girls who Sonia walks every day, they wait by the window with wagging tails for her to arrive, they get really excited because she is so good with them, I would highly recommend her for your four legged friends and other animals that she tends to.
Sonja has been walking my little Bichon for what must be over 5 years now and I could not recommend her highly enough. My dog is getting older now and doesn't always want her 30 minute walk anymore so Sonja plays games with her in our garden or in the house and ensures she has had some play time (and a cuddle) whether its a walk or by other means. She has been very helpful with us on advise with Molly too for different things - a very trustworthy, kind, knowledgeable lady and I would highly recommend A&S Dog Walking & Pet Services.
Sonja has looked after our Cat many times in the last few years since we moved to the area, and she has given us great peace of mind while we have been away. Our Cat is quiet nervous with new people, but he is happy under Sonja’s care. Highly recommended.
Warm, friendly and incredibly caring. I have used A&S for several years and have always had a very positive experience. A really helpful and genuine service, which puts pets first.
AWSUM PAWSUM AND PURRRFECTION I'm very happy and trust A&S with my kitty..

I have been Pet Sitting now for 16 years. HouseSit Match is by far the best site I have used. The Customer Service is excellent and there is a sense of community the site fosters which brings caring and consideration to all involved. I look forward to this site growing so we can provide the most reliable care and love to all the animals, homes and people involved. Thank you Lamia, for the way you connect people and work with us to make sure everyone is well placed and well tended.
We joined HouseSitMatch for the first time this year. Through this company, we had the opportunity to house sit in Spain for 2 months this summer, taking care of some very fun and loving dogs. HouseSitMatch is a well organized company that has thought of everything in uniting people looking for someone to care for their pets and people who wish to do so. The founder, Lamia, is hands on and is a great resource.This is also one of the few house sitting sites that gives house sitters the opportunity to rate the homeowners, this and the ability to connect with homeowners, we felt that we knew them even before we met them in person. We can't say enough about this wonderful company and the opportunities it provides for people. We highly recommended it!
Housesit Match is a wonderful experience to use. The website is really easy to navigate around and find what you need, the quality of house sits is really high and Lamia is always there to answer queries if you have a problem. My family and I had a delightful house sit in Andalusia in Spain for 2 weeks last August, which we are going back to again this year, we look after 2 horses, 2 dogs and a cat and the house has a pool and Donnie and Annie the owners are delightful. It has given us a wonderful break as a family in wonderful surroundings and makes our holiday affordable, without this, we wouldn't be able to go abroad on holiday. Thank you for making it all possible Housesit match!
I contacted Lamia at Housesit Match to help me find a house sitter to look after my cat Jessica while we were away in Spain for a couple of weeks. Lamia was very supportive and she found me a fab housesitter that not only looked after Jes but kept my pot plants alive in this amazing weather we have being having in the UK! We would highly recommend Housesit Match to any Home Owner that needs their pets and property looked after while they are away, brilliant service!
HouseSit Match is a fantastic service for those looking to house sit, either domestically in the UK or abroad right around the world. Their professionalism and service are second to none. Growing at a fast rate, they offer true value for money for both home owners and house sitters. If you have a pet and home that you need looking after while you need to go away, definitely join HouseSit Match where you will find the perfect person to care and look after your most precious valuables... your pets and home.
I have been with Housesitmatch.com for a few years now and had such a great exsperience with it. Lamia has always been there ready to help. I got my first house sit with her and many more after that. All the years I have been able to get in touch with her and she has always been there for me. I have met her a couple of times and it is always a pleasure. She really got me started and hgas been there ever since. Keep up the good job Lamia :)
We used Housesit Match to obtain a housesit in Normandy. The staff were knowledgeable and very approachable and all our queries were answered very promptly. The online live chat was particularly useful as it allowed us to get a little more information on the housesit we were interested in before submitting our application. The website is easy to use and comprehensive. We will definitely use the company again for any future housesits.
I have known HouseSitMatch from its very beginning so can attest to the founders’ dedication to the ideal of what house-sitting can facilitate for both the home-owners and house-sitters, which amounts to peace of mind for both by helping members make the best house-sitting matches. In an age when customer service is a scant commodity HSM excels in this area. They put a lot of energy into their customer service and offer a great deal of useful and practical information for members. It's a fun and very affordable way to travel and/or have your pets, home and garden cared for in your absence.
Lamia and the team at Housesit Match go above and beyond the call of duty when it comes to matching home & pet owners to their ideal sitters. On many occassions we have had owners contact us directly through the onsite message system to check our availability. I can highly recommend using Housesit Match especially if you are just starting out as a sitter and even more so if you are looking for wonderful sitters to take loving care of your home & pets.
I have known Housesit Match since it first launched. During this time Lamia the founder has helped me with useful advice, she has encouraged me to take part in their activities which I enjoyed very much- e.g. webinars. I am registered as a housesitter and a homeowner. She always suggested ideas about housesitting and ways of working while housesitting. She has a great team who are always helpful and thoughtful about customers' needs. They offer great customer service. Their web-site is always developing and improving, with new features being added.

We found HoH when we bumped into Chris on a dog walk. His interaction with Freddie was so genuine and he clearly had a fantastic relationship with all the dogs in his care. Chris exudes fun and energy and Freddie adores him! He gets so excited for his weekly walk - racing to the door the moment Chris’s van appears! He also boards with Chris and Charlotte when we go away and knowing he is happy means there is no guilt when we leave him - in fact he doesn’t want to leave when we collect him! Oh, and the photos they take are amazing (some high level bribery must go on to pull off some of them!) Highly recommend!
We couldn’t be more grateful and pleased with Handful of Hounds. We trust Chris implicitly with our very bouncy and active Boxer on her twice weekly walks - her favourite time of the week! Chris & Charlotte are so reliable, professional and knowledgeable. They really do understand every breed and take in to consideration each dog’s individual needs. It is not easy to find people that are so reliable and trustworthy so we are eternally grateful. The daily pictures are also amazing and better than a professional photographers! Chris captures every ounce of happiness the dogs are feeling. Thank you Handful of Hounds! Vivienne just wishes you could come and live with us as the longing stares when you drive off are becoming ridiculous 😂
Handful of hounds are an amazing dog walker and daycare service. . Our dog Wilson loves Chris and is very excited to go walks. Chris is very kind, thoughtful and offer a fantastic service. Brilliant photos too and a very well equipped van the dogs go on their adventures in. Many thanks for all the great walks so far and Wilson always runs back for his last treat before he comes home! Would highly recommend Handful of Hounds.
Handful of hounds are, without a doubt, the best dog walker / sitter Berkhamsted has to offer. Chris has a connection with Bonnie that is quite unbelievable - as soon as she met him she recognised that he was in control and she will do anything to please him, she was besotted from day one! The care and attention that both Chris and Charlotte give Bonnie goes above and beyond my expectations of a dog walker / sitter. An amazing service offered by two amazing individuals. Thank you Chris and Charlotte 🩷
Highly recommend Charlotte & Chris - they are a brilliant team. Super efficient, really in tune with the dogs and always go the extra mile to accommodate additional walks, stays etc. Never having used dog walkers previously we were initially apprehensive, but Chris has a real connection with the dogs, and Kobi our cocker spaniel totally adores Chris and has the best time on his walks. Kobi boarded with HoH this summer, making for a guilt free holiday and had such a great time we thought he wouldn’t want to come home. Chris also takes amazing action photos!
Our dogs have been boarding with Chris and Charlotte for a couple of years now and have weekly walks with Chris. They are so kind and caring to our dogs and the whole family, always going the extra mile to help us out and our dogs absolutely love them. Chris is so good with the ongoing training for our rescue dog and the photos… well, they’re just fantastic!!! HoH is 100% the best in the area.
Chris and Charlotte are fantastic. So professional and friendly with both dogs and humans, and knowledgeable about everything to do with dogs! Our dog loves his walks with Chris and we feel happy knowing that he is having a great time with Chris and his doggy pals!
We couldn’t be happier with Handful of Hounds and neither could our big friendly golden retriever, Leo. HoH is highly reliable and organised with Charlotte on the admin side and Chris is very friendly and kind with Leo (and us!), always taking time to make sure Leo is safe, comfortable and having fun! Walks run whatever the weather, are always for a full hour (of actual walking) and C & C often fit us in for last minute walk requests. Would definitely recommend!
Chris and Charlotte are amazing! We feel so comfortable and content when Stevie goes to stay or for walks, which is such a blessing. They provide a real home from home environment alongside their own gorgeous dog, Alan, and give so much love and specific care to suit each dog. We feel like they’ve gotten to know our boy so well. And they provide lots of lovely updates. He always comes home happy and sleepy! The most comfortable we’ve ever felt leaving Stevie away, outside of close family. Highly recommend!
Charlotte & Chris are fantastic and a real find! They care so much about the dogs they look after. Mabel loves going on her walks with them and they have a lovely mix of dogs to keep her company. They go out of their way to help and we’ve got great peace of mind knowing Mabel will be happy boarding with them when we go on holiday.
