This is Dianne and Wayne's second sit for us looking after our puppies we are so lucky to be able to have them sit. They care for our puppies and home like it was their own. We certainly would highly recommend them and we would love to invite them to stay again.

We were so pleased that Wendy and Warren were available to mind Charlie and our house again. Charlie is getting older and requires a bit more care and he also had a sore eye . Wendy and Warren even took him to the vet for us for a follow up appointment. They sent photos and gave us updates as well. Our house was spotlessly clean when we returned home and Charlie was very happy. We highly recommend Wendy and Warren. It's so nice to be able to go away and relax knowing that Charlie and our house are in such safe hands.🙂

If I could give 10 star I would :) Michelle and Phet are two of the kindest, most amazing souls we’ve ever met. The communication has been very smooth. One of our dogs had her period and needed to take meds during their sit, and they handled it perfectly. Michelle kept in close contact with us, not only updating us with photos of our pets, but also taking proactive actions to care for our properties. They did an outstanding job! We even had the pleasure to have lunch with them after the sit, and we had great conversations! We are grateful to have met them and it became an experience beyond just a house sit 🙏 I definitely recommend Michelle with full confidence!

Kath and Basil were great house sitters and I can't recommend them more highly. We caught up over facetime prior to their stay which gave us a chance to meet them, ask any questions and feel more comfortable with using them for our house sit. During their stay, they looked after our house so it was beautifully clean and tidy when we returned. They had also left us some milk and bread as we'd arrived home late at night and, unexpectedly, some lovely gifts as well. It was such a relief to know that our pets were looked after while we were away (including our sausage dog who we know can be a little tricky to win over). They sent us photos and updates during our trip and even 'poo picked' our horses' paddocks so that they were very clean for our return. I wouldn't have any hesitation recommending them to other house sitters or having them back to sit for us again.

So grateful to Kate for caring for my mature pup while we took a break. She had him trotting around the neighbourhood with a spring in his step. Communication was excellent and photos brilliant. My home was hers and she left it beautifully clean and tidy and the garden looks lusher than when I left. I know pup misses her already.

Katrina and Dan were exceptional house sitters. From the onset, they put my mind at ease. Katrina was very good with timely communication and even though they had a long delay, they arrived in Astana ready to house sit. Katrina often shared photos of my cat. They also did a great job of handing over to the next sitter. I would not hesitate to ask them to take care of my cat again.

We were very happy to have John sit while we were away. He arrived the day before we left to check out everything which was nice. It was clear that Milo was relaxed and well looked after as were the chickens. The house was left clean and tidy on our return. We were looking forward to Shardai being part of the house sit but unfortunately she could not make it. Thanks John for making our trip away a relaxed one.

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!

Natalie and Christian were dream pet sitters while we were out of the country for 2.5 weeks. From start to finish, they were reliable and professional, with excellent communication. They had took great care of our dog and chickens and left the house and car in great shape. Plus, they’re just a really sweet young couple. We’d highly recommend them as house sitters.

Lani is an excellent Pet Sitter and housesitter. Communication was easy, our pet Cleo appreciated her loving care. We came home to a relaxed and happy cat.
I would happily ask Lani to housesit again.

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!

Kyle was a great house sitter and pet sitter for us. We had a good dialogue prior to him sitting for us, and we also did a short walkthrough the week before. Kyle formed a great bond with our dog Charlie and also took good care of our rabbit Poppy. A couple of minor issues came up with systems in our home due to an unexpected power outage, and Kyle was quick to connect with us and then was able to work 1:1 with the service providers to resolve the issues. We look forward to working with Kyle again.

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 were so happy to have Kyle as our house sitter for two weeks. Besides taking great care of our pets and our house, he was very accommodating.  We were always able to get in touch with him if we needed to, and he agreed to take on some extra plant watering’s when the weather made a sudden change.  As a bonus, he is very likable and communicative. We would definitely have him come again.

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!

Milly was a lovely house sitter and I’d highly recommend her. She submitted a really great application and after a FaceTime chat it was an easy decision to choose her for our sit. 
She is the youngest sitter we’ve chosen but she has a maturity beyond her years and it was clear she had so much experience with animals that we felt confident leaving her in charge of our menagerie. Olive our young Pom has never been left with a sitter before so we were a little worried about how she would be but Milly was so patient, gentle and kind that she quickly won Olive over. So much so, on the morning Milly was leaving ,Olive would only let Milly put her harness on her before going for a walk. All the animals were perfectly cared for while we were away and we returned home to happy pets and a tidy house. 
Milly’s communication from our first contact and right through the sit was great and she even sent a lovely video of the dogs having fun on their walk. 
I’d have Milly back to housesit for us again anytime.

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!
