Care + Play or good walks: let's have a GRAND TIME together (thanks Gromit! )
My two dogs easily bonded with Souzie the first time they met, which was great. Souzie sent pictures while I was away and Beau and Leonard always looked relaxed. Souzie did far more than I expected to have the house clean and tidy when I got home - it was much appreciated after a long flight. The boys were happy to see me but it was clear they were well looked after. I would have Souzie sit again any time.

Basil & Kath Gijsbers-Reliable, caring couple who love animals, homes & gardens.
Kath and Basil were great house sitters and I can't recommend them more highly. We caught up over facetime prior to their stay which gave us a chance to meet them, ask any questions and feel more comfortable with using them for our house sit. During their stay, they looked after our house so it was beautifully clean and tidy when we returned. They had also left us some milk and bread as we'd arrived home late at night and, unexpectedly, some lovely gifts as well. It was such a relief to know that our pets were looked after while we were away (including our sausage dog who we know can be a little tricky to win over). They sent us photos and updates during our trip and even 'poo picked' our horses' paddocks so that they were very clean for our return. I wouldn't have any hesitation recommending them to other house sitters or having them back to sit for us again.

An active, responsible, retired couple who would love to care for your pets/home
Liz and Peter arrived exactly when they said they would, and were super organised, and easy to get along with. Obviously very experienced sitters, knew exactly what they needed to know, and looked after animals and house perfectly!

Animal loving and house proud
So grateful to Kate for caring for my mature pup while we took a break. She had him trotting around the neighbourhood with a spring in his step. Communication was excellent and photos brilliant. My home was hers and she left it beautifully clean and tidy and the garden looks lusher than when I left. I know pup misses her already.

Pet & travel lovers, can't wait to discover your little ones around the world!
We were absolutely thrilled with Eve and Guildwen. They were friendly, kind and looked after Toby and Jasper very well. We received photos and videos regularly while on our holidays and we had peace of mind that our fur babies were in good hands. The house was left nice and clean and the garden was watered. We would highly recommend them:) Helene and Frank.

Canadian traveler keen to take care of your pets
Amanda and Casper did a great job looking after our home and our dog, Bailey. The house was spotless when we returned and Bailey had obviously been well cared for. I would thoroughly recommend Amanda as a sitter and wouldn't hesitate in having her mind our home again.

Reliable Aussie couple based in the UK.
Peter and Tricia were the dream! Our cat, home and garden were extremely well looked after. In fact, I joked with my husband that we might need to plan our future getaways based on Peter and Tricia’s availability. Would highly recommend!

A mature professional couple working from home, loves animals and helping others
Our overseas holiday was so much more enjoyable knowing that Chilli was in the care of Jeanette and Alec. Everything was made just so easy. Communication was excellent, Chilli was a very happy dog and our home was immaculate on our return. Our plants were possibly better cared for by Alec than by me 😊 Thank you Jeanette and Alec. I highly recommend this couple for any sit they choose to apply for.
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!
Janis and her husband Dan were beyond phenomenal! Communication was great leading up to their arrival, especially with coordinating arrival and departure times. And during the sit, I got lots of picture updates throughout of how Isabel was doing. I could tell from the pictures how comfortable and happy my dog was hanging out with Janis and Dan and getting all the pets and attention. Coming home, everything was left so clean and organized. I definitely recommend them as pet sitters as they clearly took such good care of both my pup and my home.
honeybee was a great sitter for our 3 animals. She communicated very well throughout the sit. Our flight home was delayed and she was great about being able to cover the extra days. Her connection to the animals was wonderful. We were less organized than intended on her arrival due to some unexpected work issues, and she was great about rolling with the changes (e.g. the closet doors were missing as the painter hadn't finished with them). She used public transport to get to Golden and then drove our car while here. She left a few items behind, and her attention to kitchen cleanliness could be better, but we would definitely have her sit our pets again if the opportunity arises.
Samantha and Scott are great sitters and we enjoyed hearing from them a couple of times while we were away. Our pets were very relaxed and happy too! Very happy to recommend them.
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!
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.
Linda was an awesome pet sitter for my doggie Brodie! She gave him so much loving attention… he has some separation anxiety at 9 years old & she never left his side! She was so attentive to him & I am very grateful for that! Linda’s communication was also something I liked… we texted & chatted on the phone before her arrival & I felt very comfortable with her being in my home & with my dog. I could tell her number one reason to pet sit was her love for dogs & desire to be a wonderful companion for Brodie while I was away for the weekend! Would love to have her back anytime…
Jeremy and Brooke were fantastic! We have a senior dog and a over hyper pittie. They gave Daisy her meds and had lengthy walks with Fin to burn off some of his energy. Brooke sent me regular texts to show me precious pictures of the pups by the Christmas tree, which warmed my ❤️. The house looked great when we returned. They are awesome detailed sitters and will make your pets feel loved and secure!!
Janis is a wonderful person and also an incredible sitter -- we were very, very fortunate that she agreed to care for our beloved pets and rural log home for 3 days. We were confident that everything would be perfect – and it was. We returned to a home as clean and ordered as we had left it, inside and out. All plants were thriving; outdoor hanging baskets were blooming profusely. Most importantly, our beloved dog and 4 cherished cats had obviously been lovingly and attentively cared for. The koi were also active and happy. Janis is a “cat whisperer”. She is especially skilled and patient with shy felines, so we truly appreciated her patience and caring for our sweet Angie (with a semi-feral background). Janis immediately understood that Angie, despite her reclusiveness, craves affection and was able to start to earn her trust even with such limited time. Among Janis’ many gifts: she is a talented photographer and delighted us with frequent updates and photos of our furry children. They are so beautiful that we, with her kind permission, plan to include several in our zeewoi profile. Janis’ communications, reliability, self-sufficiency, and punctuality were exemplary, start to finish. We made a wonderful new friend and have already invited her back to sit again. If you are privileged enough to ever have Janis sit we are certain that you will be as delighted and happy as we are.
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! :)
