Experienced house/pet-sitter to care for your pets, livestock, home & garden!
This is the 4th time Miriam has looked after our dog, Charlie, during the past year and each time he welcomes her as an old friend. She is totally reliable and practical which means we can go away without any concerns in the knowledge that she will care for the house and Charlie as we would ourselves. We would welcome her back any time. An excellent housesitter - recommended without hesitation.

Handy pet & coffee-loving couple, in Europe and UK for a year! Own transport.
Samantha and Gareth are super house sitters and a fun loving very reliable couple. We couldn’t have asked for better. The cats were in tip top condition as was house when they left. A pleasure to meet and we hope they come back again.

We are Xanthe and Felix, a young creative couple from New Zealand.
Xanthe and Felix looked after our Border Collie, birds, guinea pig and chooks for the weekend and were brilliant! Super easy to communicate with and offered brief updates throughout their stay. Whilst we didn't meet them in person we were grateful for their attention to our pets! We wish them both well on the future travels :)

Enthusiastic, caring and responsible animal lovers!
Diego and Paola are a lovely couple. They had great communications both before and during the sit. They went out of their way to arrive after a long drive when we needed them and took very good care of the house and the animals. Would definitely use again.

Bernadette was a fantastic and energetic house sitter and looked after our dog Whispa really well. She arrived in time for me to explain everything and immediately bonded with Whispa. I put Bernadette on our car insurance and she drove with confidence and assurance. She absorbed all my instructions with ease. She was very tidy and looked after everything in our home. Everything was super tidy and organized when we returned. While we were away, Whispa ran into the bushes, which she always does, and incredibly unluckily cut herself on something sharp which required some stitches and wearing a cone collar for several days to prevent her from licking the wound. Bernadette was completely amazing in her handling of the situation. Whispa could not have had better care and didn’t actually suffer at all as a result. We were concerned that Bernadette’s trip had been spoilt but she just organized herself around the situation and never once expressed any concern for herself, only for Whispa. She kept in good contact with us and sent photos so we felt in touch with all that was going on. When we came home Whispa still followed Bernadette around and continued to sleep in her room during the few days she stayed on with us. This was Bernadette’s first sit for a dog (as opposed to cats) and she really got thrown in at the deep end but she came out with flying colours and we will be eternally grateful to her for the loving care she gave to Whispa. I would highly recommend Bernadette to anyone looking for a really competent house and pet sitter and I hope she will be able to come back and look after Whispa for us again another day.

Retired vet with years of experience with animals of all shapes and sizes
A+ sitter. Poor Jasper was unwell during our trip away, but fortunately Amy is a retired vet so knew we were in safe hands! Very grateful (and very, very guilty!) can’t recommend highly enough. G

Merinda
Merinda was the best sitter we could have asked for! She was reliable and trustworthy, as well as self sufficient. She kept us updated and looked after Hal so well, playing ball with her and taking her on walks. Everything was a breeze and she really put us at ease, as we were nervous to leave Hal with someone we didn’t know for 5 nights but I didn’t need to be worried. Hal loves her! Thank you so much.

Caring and Reliable
Ema is the best person for your pets. I met Ema and wanted to stay to hang with her, she’s that much fun and good spirit. When I got back she waited for me and to meet my 3 girls. She helped me enormously by making my house super clean (even those places I never do) and gardens looked amaaaazing. She went over and above to help me and got me leaving present and my girls. I love Ema!!!!

Solo Pet-Sitter and Garden lover
We can highly recommend Tris, she was delightful, friendly, caring, organised and extremely tidy. Even though she only dog sat Widget for a long weekend, they formed a strong bond. Tris kept us informed of what they were up to and sent through photos of one very happy dog while we were away. We came back to an immaculate house and she had even weeded some of our garden and watered our plants. We will definitely keep in contact with Tris as we feel she has become a friend and anyone would be lucky to have her look after their pet.
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!!!
We were lucky to have Andrea back for another sit with our elderly dog and feral cat. She has been wonderful both in the past and on this last sit for a month! We trust her implicitly and are always at ease that our pets will have the most kind and careful attention. She is excellent with videos and communication and very clean and tidy. Again we feel lucky to have found her, and feel she would be a great sitter for any pets!
Caitlyn, KJ, and their pup Sully were excellent house guests and pet sitters, and we would highly recommend them! I was able to meet Caitlyn and KJ prior to them house sitting for us, and we are always super appreciative when sitters are able to make that work and are willing to take time out of their schedule to come over and get the lay of the land. Their dog Sully was full of good boy energy and was a great playmate for our two Golden Retrievers. During the stay, Caitlyn & KJ sent us photos every day and followed all of our instructions for pet care to a T. They were super self-sufficient and gracious guests that left our place looking just like it did when we left, and we were very at peace knowing that our dogs were in great hands, getting lots of exercise, and romping around with new friend Sully. Don't hesitate to book this family of three, your house and your pets will be well-looked after!
I had the pleasure of having Tracey and her two children as house sitters, and I can't praise them enough for the incredible job they did. From the moment they stepped into our home, it was evident that they were dedicated, caring, and attentive to every detail. First and foremost, Tracey's approach to caring for our house and our beloved pets was nothing short of excellent. She has an innate ability to connect with animals, and it was clear from the daily updates and photos that our pets were happy and thoroughly pampered. The house was kept in immaculate condition, and they treated it with the utmost respect as if it was their own. Moreover, Tracey demonstrated remarkable responsibility and initiative when our AC system unexpectedly broke down. Without hesitation, she arranged for an HVAC company to come and fix the issue, taking time from her day to ensure our home was taken care of. Her willingness to front the repair costs until I could reimburse her was an act of kindness and trust that you rarely see. Tracey and her children's thoughtfulness and thoroughness provided me with peace of mind during my time away, which is priceless. I returned to a home that was just as I left it, if not better. Their stay was characterized by an extraordinary level of care and I was particularly impressed by how they left the house in perfect condition, with happy pets to welcome me back. I wholeheartedly recommend Tracey to any future hosts. Her reliability, compassion, and the ability to handle unexpected situations with grace are commendable. I would welcome Tracey and her children back to house sit in a heartbeat – they are exactly the kind of house sitters that one hopes for on this site! Thank you, Tracey, for everything. You and your children are welcome back anytime!
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.
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!
We had the pleasure of having Tara as our house sitter while we were away, and we can't praise her enough for the fantastic job she did. Not only did she take excellent care of our home, but she also showed tremendous love and attention to our beloved dogs. From the moment Tara walked through the door, we could tell she had a genuine passion for animals. She immediately bonded with our dogs, and they seemed completely at ease with her. Throughout our trip, she provided us with regular updates and photos, which truly put our minds at ease knowing our boys were in great hands. Tara took great care of our home as well. It was evident that she respected our space and coming back home, we found everything just as we left it, if not even better! We highly recommend Tara to anyone in need of a reliable, trustworthy, and caring house sitter. Her communication was excellent, and she proved herself to be a responsible and dedicated individual. If you want to ensure your pets and home are in the best hands while you're away, Tara is the perfect choice. Thank you, Tara, for taking such incredible care of our dogs and home. You made our trip stress-free, and we're truly grateful.
I could not have asked for a better first time sitter experience! Terry & Vinnie were absolutely wonderful people. They took stellar care of my beloved pets and my home. Their communication with me was enough that I felt perfectly at ease during my time away and in turn, they were super responsive if I contacted them. My pets were relaxed and happy when I returned!
Deboraj took great care of the apartment and of our goofy unsociable cat. She went out of her way to bring catnip and make friends with Rowan. She communicated often and cared to be as good a house and pet sitter as could be. I can gladly recommend her highly to anyone else looking. Thank you Deborah.
Gowri was very patient and caring with Irisi who got sick the day before I left. I cannot commend her enough for how she rose to the occasion and took care of my baby. She even pick up meds from the vet. My cat, Squinty, was very comfortable with her to jump in bed and wake her up early in the morning (as he would with me). I am not aware of him doing that to other sitters that have stayed at my place. I would give her 6 stars for Pet care if I can! She updated me with Irisi's condition which really help ease my mind, knowing someone looking after my furry really cared. I would certainly have her back again!
