Kiwi student who loves animals and travelling
We couldn’t have wished for a better sitter than Maddy! Our sit was quite last minute but Maddy agreed to a video call and we arranged everything within a week! Maddy got to ours an hour or so before we were due to leave so I could take her round the house and meet the boys and talk routine etc. As soon as she arrived we knew she would be a great fit for the boys. Jerry is quite used to cat sitters and was lapping up the attention but Woody as ever was very shy and hid himself away. We had daily updates from Maddy, morning and evening including pictures of Jerry and sightings of Woody! What was super lovely was her efforts to help Woody come out of hiding and out of his shell. We had updates of Woody playing with his favourite toy, sitting out for a while and generally getting braver by the day! This is the first time with a sit that anyone has been able to play with him. Jerry was also very happy. We managed to have a very restful and stress free week away which was wonderful. On our return not only was the house spotless but Maddy had left us a lovely note and gift for us and the boys! I would love to have Maddy sit for the boys again and she will always be very welcome here.

Uruguayan Couple. Animal lovers travelling all around the world
How do I even begin expressing how wonderful Leticia and Ignacio are?! They were super friendly, highly organised, extremely neat (even sorting our garage out for us!!) and loved our pups as if they were their own. I felt 150% comfortable leaving my home and my poochies with them. When one of the pups had to go to the vet, they took care of it without any concerns and they maintained communication (and photos) with us throughout the month we were away. When our flights home got delayed, they stayed an extra night without hesitation and helped to have the pups looked after the next day by leaving feeding instructions for my friend. We came home to a super clean house and two very happy doggos. A MASSIVE THANK YOU to you both and please come visit us any time x

Respectful Kiwi-Canadian couple wishing to take great care of your pets & home.
Cheryl and Ian communicated very well before and during the sit. Arrival time was to the minute, questions were asked and answered. During the sit there was a storm in the area and Cheryl was thoughtful to message me that there was no damage at my place, thank u for that Cheryl. I came home to a very clean house, laundry was dry so I just had to make the bed. I had to select excellent for pet care because the option of n/a wasn't available, there were no pets this time ( they were at a friend's house). Cheryl and Ian are welcome to come back anytime.

A quiet board game and pet loving married couple from New Zealand
Laura and Tim were lovely. They were organised about planning their travel arrangements and arrival and departure times. There was a couple of issues with our oven and hot water while we were away but they contacted us appropriately and managed to sort it out. The house was tidy when we returned, pets seemed happy. Would definitely recommend.

Caring couple looking for a place and pets to sit
Oscar and Mavis were great!! They took great care of our cat and our plants while we were away for just over a month! They left the house clean and tidy! We had no problems with them at all! I would highly recommend them for any pet/ plant sit you may need! :)
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.
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.
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!!
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.
Initially, I was very nervous about finding my very first in-home pet sitter who could provide the level of care and attention our 3 beloved fur-kids required. From the moment Emily and Johnny stepped into our home, I knew they were going to be in good hands. Their gentle demeanor and genuine love for animals instantly put our dogs Gypsy & Johnny at ease. Emily and Johnny took the time to understand our pets’ unique personalities and preferences, ensuring that their every need would be met. During our absence, Emily provided us with regular updates and adorable photos. Their detailed communication gave me peace of mind, knowing that my fur babies were in the best possible hands. Upon our return, we were greeted by a happy and contented gang, who clearly had enjoyed their time with Emily and Johnny. Emily and Johnny are more than just pet sitters; they are true companions to our furry family. Their exceptional care, genuine love for animals, and unwavering dedication have earned them a permanent spot in our hearts. Without hesitation, we give Emily and Johnny a 5-star rating and highly recommend their services to anyone seeking trustworthy and loving caregivers for their beloved pets. THANK YOU Emily and Johnny!!! <3
Angelica was a wonderful pet sitter for our dog Rosie! She was easy to communicate with before and during the sit (very responsive), and made time to do a walk through of our house/intro to Rosie prior to the sit. She was extremely reliable throughout the process, and left our house really neat. Rosie was happy when we got home! We'd be happy to have Angelica sit for us again and would recommend her to anyone!
We've had many pet sitters over the years (this is our first time using this app) and Missy is the best sitter we've ever had for our dog and cats. Our pets, particularly our dog, adored her and was really sad to see her go. It is obvious she loves animals and immediately understood the pack dynamics and the pet personalities. She kept the house tidy, litter box clean, and the animals so well loved. Because she was traveling from far away, she stayed with us the night before our trip and the night we came back. It was a pleasure to get to know her. We would welcome her back to our house as a friend or a sitter anytime. Highly recommend!
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!
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 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!!
