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)

Feeling very lucky to have found such beautiful humans to sit our two spoilt spaniels. Got home after a long day of travelling, the house was immaculate and Katie had done the laundry. Dogs were happy and Teddy loved having a small human, Gus, to play with. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Annabel went over and beyond as a sitter in my home! She did such a great job and was super helpful! She followed all of my instructions and took suck good care of Annabelle! I can tell Annabelle misses her because she goes to the guest room and sleeps in the bed in her room. She washed Annabelle without hesitation and brushed her while I was traveling. She even offered to cut my grass which I declined because I know that’s to much to expect. Annabel is super sweet and I would welcome her back in a second! It was so nice to have someone very cultured staying in my home who took such good care of my furbaby. I have to say the note she left and flowers were the icing on the cake! I would 100% welcome her back! She’s amazing!

Tina was a fantastic house/pet sitter for my cat Trixie - I can’t recommend her enough! She was very communicative and also self sufficient and I felt completely at peace with Trixie in her care. She took it upon herself to water my plants and also trimmed Trixie’s nails, which I always struggle with! She provided perfect company for Trixie, playing with her, brushing her, loving her and giving her daily medicine. She also left my apartment in perfect condition. I would gladly have Tina pet sit again. A 10/10 experience.

I have nothing but great things to say about Jill! She’s a wonderful sitter and I felt so comfortable leaving my dog and cat in her capable hands while I was out of the country. She was thorough in making sure she knew exactly what each pet needed, had excellent communication, and provided me with daily updates. I came home to a house that was even tidier and more organized than when I left and two very loved pets. I would highly recommend Jill to anyone looking for a kind, caring, consistent pet sitter. Thank you so much Jill!!!

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.

Mary Jessica was a wonderful house and pet sitter for our GIANT dog Mamma Mia. She took extremely good care of our house with it cleaner than we left it upon our return. Our neighbors remarked on all the walks she gave Mamma and Mamma seemed very pleased with the entire experience. Mary Jessica was self sufficient, needing very little instruction outside of our Welcome Guide. She followed everything I wrote and asked how much communication I’d want. I’m very pleased and would both recommend her and love to have her again.

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.

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!

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!!

Absolutely Incredible....
I will not lie, I was hesitant because David did not have any pet sits before this one (gotta start somewhere) but because he did the background check I decided to contact him. We had a great phone conversation and the decision was made. He came to my house the night before I was leaving to learn all the ins and outs of taking care of my fur babies and then put himself up in a hotel for the night before the sit date. The next day he came over in the morning to learn a few more details before I left. I could not have chosen a better house sitter for my 2nd house sit . David communicated with me daily, sent pictures and we spoke via facetime. My little guy was feeling sick when David started and with diligence, love and kindness he was able to get my little guy eating again and feeling better. I would invite David back into my home over and over again but I am pretty sure he is going to be in high demand. Thank you David for everything!

Shella was a great house sitter and I had no concerns leaving her in charge when we went away.  She kept in touch while we were away and we returned to happy pets and a tidy house.  What more can you ask?!  I would be more than happy to welcome Shella back to house sit another time.
