Experienced professional couple who can work from anywhere and cuddle your pets!
This was our second time using this service and once again, our house sitters did not disappoint. The house was spotless, all the furry and feathered critters are happy and were well cared for and dinner and dessert were even prepared for us for this evening! ❤️ They provided almost daily updates with pictures, always keeping us in the loop. They also went above and beyond by ensuring all our garden veges that were ripe and ready for picking were cleaned and frozen,(except for the ones they used to make us homemade salsa!) 😀 With 45 acres and a lot of furry and feathered friends, they handled each task like pros as they learned the day to day routine of our little hobby farm. Having said all that, I really know they did a spectacular job because after our pooch patrol greeted us late last night with a happy welcome home, they deserted us and went back down stairs to sleep with Chris and Meg for the night! 😆 That's when you know they did something right! ;) Thanks again Chris and Megan!

Work-from-home couple ready to spoil your pets
Tegan and Jacob were INCREDIBLE. Less than a week before we left Ernest with them for two nights, Ernest had to have emergency surgery. Afterwards, Ernest was taking three medications, twice a day, and had to be kept trapped in our bathroom, so that he didn't move too much or jump on anything. I was very worried and considered cancelling my work trip. How could a stranger be trusted to keep an eye on him, give him his medications on time, spend time with him in a bathroom?? But Tegan and Jacob came to the RESCUE! They immediately inspired confidence so I felt like I could go without guilt. And then they delivered. They literally sat with their laptops on the bathroom floor so Ernest could sit next to them and not be lonely. They handled his multiple meds and reported twice a day with photos as to how he was doing. They kept an eye on his surgical site and reported on his urine. They left us a two-page handwritten note with all the details about his condition along with freshly baked cookies - just because. They even cleaned up the flies that were starting to accumulate in the bathroom because of the food we were leaving out for Ernest there. I am stunned by their commitment and kindness. Ernest has been much less anxious about being trapped in the bathroom, I think because he no longer associates it with isolation and loneliness. My husband and I are left to wonder whether we should have gone away longer 😅 Anyway, I can go on and on, but they were absolutely the right people to find at the right time, and we (and Ernest) feel very fortunate to have had them here. Strong strong recommend!!

Honest, kind teacher looking to pet and house sit ;)
We can't thank Sarah enough for providing us with peace of mind and such great care of our home and pets. We would you use her again in a heartbeat! Everything went smoothly from the beginning, with great communication and quick responses. We felt our fur family and home were in very capable hands, and this contributed to us being able to relax and enjoy our family vacation. Thank you so much to Sarah and also Melinda for everything.

Thanks to Carolyn, our confidence was restored after a rather disappointing first experience. We confirmed the house sit with Carolyn just 3 weeks prior to our vacation as our first sitter had to cancel due to a medical emergency. During our first meeting we felt comfortable with Carolyne, she was professional, pleasant and very forth coming with the possibility she may need to cancel due to a personal situation. Given the short time till our vacation, we decided to confirm with the understanding we had a backup plan if needed. We were so lucky it all worked out, Carolyn was very independent, she had read the welcome package throughly and as such she was very prepared for the visit. She communicated with us as needed ( we didn't expect daily emails) with either questions and or updates and was quick to respond to any of our texts. We returned home late in the evening to a very clean and tidy house and a dog that was happy and well cared for. We would definitely invite Carolyn again and recommend her for house sits without hesitation.

Non-smoking professional pet sitters!
Pat was a great cat sitter. She was very in tune with our cats, and showed a lot of experience in interacting with them. She was very clean and tidy and great at communicating with us. And she took great care of our plants too!

Caring counselling therapist available to care for your beloved pets and home!
I was thrilled Katie was available for a last minute overnight sit with Baloo. Katie was available ahead of time to go over the meds and special attention Baloo requires. She was proactive in asking questions and I felt very comfortable leaving her in charge of my big guy and my home. Katie was communicative (sending texts and pics) and I returned to a tidy home and a happy Baloo. I would definitely ask Katie to sit again and I would trust her for a longer sit as well.

Julia and Blair were superstar zeewoi! Clearly experienced- Julia asked great questions on how often we’d like to be updated, care specifics for our dog, etc. They took great care of our pup and the house was spotless when we returned. We’d love to welcome them back anytime!

Quiet, experienced lover of the outdoors available to lovingly care for your ani
Pablo, from the outset was a breath of fresh air. He respected and cared for our home and 2 dogs for approximately 3weeks. He kept in touch and when we returned we could tell that the dogs had grown extremely fond of him, our home was clean, and our neighbor loved interacting with him. I would glady have him housesit again.
Mary was fantastic from start to finish and looked after our elderly dog with love and attention to her needs. She also looked after our home with respect and care. We couldn't have asked for a nicer sitter and would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.
Alyssa was a very organized and caring pet sitter. This was our longest house sitter stay and she took excellent care of our home and two sweet and bossy Frenchies. I liked her communication to touch base the week before and how she initiated a shared photo album. We prefer not to get bombarded with daily text message photos and updates. She came up with a connected solution and touched base throughout her stay keeping us informed and sharing photos without a push. She even shared some travel gems about our destination as she is also a curious traveler and enjoys exploring outdoors. We would be happy to use her again.
This was the 3rd time that Jill sat for us. That says it all but please read our previous reviews. They all stand and Jill is one of the best and most reliable and loving pet sitters we’ve ever had. If you have a chance to have her in your home and caring for your pets, you will be absolutely delighted. We love her.
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.
This was my first time using house sitters and Shanen and Ryan were wonderful. She sent me pictures of Calla and game me updates on Calla’s activities. She would be welcome to pet sit for me anytime!
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.
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! Dean & Diana Smith
Jennifer was great and I would highly recommend her. Right from the start, Jennifer was clear and helpful in her communication, and she was very available to us throughout the stay via messaging. She sent pics of our fur babies regularly - without asking - which always makes us happy when we're away. And the biggest compliment I can give: when we came home, our pets were relaxed and happy, and no hidden cat messes to be found (we've had this happen with previous sitters a lot). I would love to have Jennifer stay at our home again in future.
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!
