This was Lelsie and Darryl's fourth time caring for our home and pets and they were great as usual. They got Cooper to and from the vet quickly when he unexpectedly needed care. We were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing our home was in good hands.

April was awesome! She connected very quickly with the dogs and had a good read on each of their characters. She spent quality time with the cat and tended to her lovingly. Rio and Bijou both had last minute medication regimes to which she responded well to the directions of how to give their meds. She sent photos daily, and really, we felt that our beloved pets and home were safely and lovingly well tended. We look forward to having her back in our home!

Dustin watched my two kitties for about a month. One of my kitties usually doesn’t like men, so I was a bit nervous. But in less than 24 hours Dustin had won his heart and he was very comfortable (proof was in the photos). That made me super happy. Every time I asked Dustin for proof of life photos he sent them. The house was extremely clean when I arrived home. When I returned, my cats were very happy so I know he spent a lot of time with them.

Hannah and Noel were great at looking after Orwell while we were away. We were away for 2 weeks, and over that time, we were filled with confidence that they could take care of anything that may arise at the house. Orwell had recently had a minor op, and they administered medication alongside his normal routine. We also had regular updates while we were away. Hannah and Noel also had to deal with an emergency locksmith situation due to a broken lock. We are really grateful they got this sorted while we were away without bothering us on our holiday. I would recommend Hannah and Noel to Housesitter’s anytime.

Nathan and Linda are wonderful. You can tell they truly care about and love the animals they take care of, even if it’s for a short period of time. The house looked untouched and they kept everything very cleans. My pups were super happy & content boys. Shortly after their stay, one of my dogs had a medical emergency (nothing related to their care) and they were able to provide a very detailed history of his behavior and habits while we were away in a super timely manner. I would 100% trust them to care for your precious babies.

Megan was INCREDIBLE. We were so worried leaving our cat and dog whilst away for 2 weeks getting married abroad but as soon as we met Megan, all of our worries went away. She is such a kind, lovely person who is amazing with pets. She kept us updated every day with pictures and brought our dog Odie on adventures to places I haven’t even been to yet!! I hope to have Megan stay with us again, not even as a house sitter but as a friend.

Mengcheng and Ilya were fantastic sitters! They took wonderful care of my apartment and my cat Margot. I received daily updates, they left my place spotless, and also left/replaced groceries! I would recommend them to anyone looking for a kind, reliable sitter. :)

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.

Angie and Joe were fabulous pet/house sitters and overall people! Angie sent daily updates with photos. Really appreciate the extra effort they put into watering the grass and garden.  The house was exactly the same as when I left (including sheets/towel washed, beds made, frig cleaned, dishes put away and trash taken out...). Pretty sure Mia was looking for them the next day as she ran to the guest bedroom.  Already scheduled a second sit!  If you're lucky enough to land them as pet sitter then you're lucky.

Angie and Joe have been our go-to pet sitters for our dogs, Cooper and Kona, on multiple occasions, and they consistently deliver exceptional care. Each time we've entrusted our pups to their care, Angie and Joe have gone above and beyond to ensure their well-being. Their genuine love for animals has always left us worry-free and able to fully enjoy our time away. Cooper and Kona's excitement whenever they see Angie and Joe speaks volumes about the bond they've formed. We sincerely recommend Angie and Joe to anyone seeking reliable and caring pet sitters.

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.

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.

I enjoyed meeting Samara. Sosha arrived after I left so we only communicated in writing.
Samara is a sweet, considerate pet sitter. She brought her cat, who posed no difficulties to my pets.
Samara was in good communication with me during her stay. She used my car without incident. My home was left much cleaner than upon her arrival. 
Samara proved to be an honest and responsible pet sitter and I would open my home to her at any time in the future.

Bard and Kim are amazing house sitters and pet care givers.  I would recommend them over and over.  I wish I could add numbers to the scale.
They would get a 10+.  

Bard and Kim were super easy to work with, efficient, self-sufficient, and considerate.  They took immaculate care of my home; it was definitely cleaner after they left!  I would recommend them without hesitation over and over.

Kate was an excellent house sitter and pet sitter. She was thoughtful, sensitive, and attuned to our cats and the particulars of our house. It was really easy to communicate with her and she was responsible and conscientious about everything. When we came back our cats seemed unfazed by our return which was a great sign and it was obvious that she spent lots of time with them and gave them lots of love. The house was spotless on our return and she even alerted us to a health matter in one of our cats. She sent lots of cute updates and was easy going when we messed up a logistical detail on our end. Just a delightful person all around. I'd love to have her come again and if you have a chance to have her housesit, jump on it. She is a gem.

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!
