Julia was awesome. She took very good care of our little fur babies and sent us an update every other day. When we got home the house looked great and the pups well cared for. Julia even picked us up from the airport which was extra nice! I highly recommend her to take care of your home and pets.

Kim was a perfect fit for our pup, Georgie, and our home. She communicated clearly, prepared for any challenges that might have happened while we were in Italy (thankfully none occurred), reached out to our neighbor, as suggested, for backup, sent daily pictures of her adventures with Georgie, and left our house cleaner than I think it's ever been. I wish I could give Kim ten stars and hope that she'll come for many more sits here. Grazie mile, Kim!

It was such a pleasure having Brewster here to look after the cats and help us out a bit with the dogs before we left and for a bit when we got back! He was very reliable and organized. Great with the pets in general and just a kind, easy going and caring person. I felt the pets and my house were in good hands.

this was part 2 of an extended stay. Danielle kept us informed of our dogs conditions. Walks happened and she was cautious about not walking too much with Chewie's bum leg.

Stacy was wonderful with my senior cat, Juno. She obviously knows animals so well and offered me some great advice regarding some of his quirks. She was very considerate and sent photos to let me know Juno was adjusting well. She left the place immaculate. I really appreciated her care and communication.

Kimberly and Andrew are genuinely a terrific couple. They have great energy, they are professionals, home owners, intelligent and trustworthy. Immediately on arrival I felt comfortable with my choice and could see they were experienced animal lovers and were at ease in our home and with Tigger our cat. They kept in contact with me whilst we were away with photos and notes, which always puts me at ease. On our return we were delighted to find a pristine home and a happy, relaxed and pampered Tigger, thank you again for coming to stay. We would throughly recommend them to anyone. I hope in the future they will return & we can get together for a pre-holiday supper. I would be happy to give a verbal reference to anyone for this premium couple, they are a super find.

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!

Kate was an absolute dream and was the best pet sitter I could have possibly asked for! Kate was extremely trustworthy, communicative, and reliable, and provided frequent updates while I was away. She left my apartment spotlessly clean and even took the initiative to fix my wobbly towel bar. Finally, Kate took excellent care of my cat Daisy and I came home to a happy and content cat! Kate was amazing all around and I would be thrilled to have her sit for me again at any time. Thanks for everything!

Claire's performance as a house sitter surpassed all expectations, making her an absolute gem in the world of home and pet care. She demonstrated exceptional courtesy and communicated with remarkable clarity and promptness, keeping me informed every step of the way.  Punctuality and reliability are hallmarks of Claire's service. She arrived exactly when promised and was fully prepared to manage all the responsibilities we discussed. Her proactive approach and diligent attention to detail provided immense peace of mind.  Not only did Claire take impeccable care of my home, but his affectionate and attentive handling of my beloved pup, Modi, was truly heartwarming. Her updates and thoughtful notes about Modi's well-being were incredibly reassuring, making me feel connected even when I was away. Clair's meticulous care extended beyond the basics. She went above and beyond, ensuring that every aspect of my home was looked after with the utmost respect and consideration. From watering plants to maintaining cleanliness, her efforts were nothing short of extraordinary.  I wholeheartedly endorse Claire for anyone seeking a trustworthy and dedicated house sitter. I look forward to having her back and cannot recommend her highly enough. A solid 5-star rating is an understatement for the exceptional service she provides!

Anant was a great sitter and a friendly guy. Kept me up to date re his arrival and with Marie & Toulouse during the sit. Found my house exactly as I had left it. Would highly recommend Anant to other pet parents.

Felecia was an excellent sitter and perfect companion for Livi, our 3 yr old Aussie mix! She was always prompt with communication when needed, took great care of our pet and house and was just as clean coming home as we left it. I would not hesitate to recommend Felecia for other sits.

Davis and Sydney were loving sitters for our pets.  We even had an extra cat (our son's) and they took great care of all of the pets and our home.  The pictures and the comments they sent  showed us they figured out all of their quirky personalities very fast. It was nice to come home to a clean house and all pets  were safe and happy! We would ask them back again.

Andrea was the perfect sitter for our older Italian Greyhound and our shy cat. 
She followed every request to a “t”, and helped us to feel comfortable and care 
free for a long zeewoi. The communication 
of photos and videos were a warm 
reminder of how well they had been adjusting to our absence. Andrea showed care and consistent compassion for Darcy and Hammy. 
She seemed to enjoy them and our home as much as us!
We returned to an absolutely spotless home, without anything left undone. She thought of everything related to us and our pets, so we could have a seamless late evening  return. 
We highly recommend Andrea for any zeewoi, as she is a jewel. Anyone looking for a “perfect” sitter would be lucky to have Andrea as a trustworthy, considerate and kind person to care for their pets and home.

David was an outstanding house/pet sitter for our active pup Tosha, older kitty Rascal, and 4 chickens.  Rascal came home with a deep, gaping wound the day before we left for 11 days, and David was very responsible in monitoring the healing process with photos and texts to us.  He exercised Tosha in the neighborhood and local parks, and obviously enjoyed her company. Our house was spotless and extremely neat when we got home, which is always welcoming after a long trip. We are very grateful for the excellent care David gave to our precious pets and home.

Jerry and Suzanne were absolutely ideal sitters for our home and pets. We spoke with them ahead of their visit and could tell that they are genuine pet and travel lovers. Over their stay we got to see even more that they are wonderfully friendly, kind, and responsible - plus they kept us laughing with their updates and descriptions of our pets' antics while we were away. Our pets and plants were well loved and our house was spotless upon our return home, and they were even kind enough to leave a few goodies in the fridge. Our dog in particular seemed to miss them and their long walks around the neighborhood. Thank you Jerry and Suzanne! We wish you well in your travels!

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!
