Caring for pets and homes with love and responsibility while exploring the world
Chris and Adi were perfect house sitters for us and our dogs. They came to meet us prior to the sit and we were able to judge how it would all work. They spent 3 weeks sitting in what was the worst weather imaginable and remained cheerful looking after our 4 large dogs. They looked after our home well and kept in touch to let us know how the dogs were doing. We have nothing but very sincere thanks to them both for their great care and they even cooked us a meal for when we are back from our travels which was so appreciated. We hope to stay in touch and would recommend them wholeheartedly as reliable and trustworthy sitters for your home and dogs.

We are Camila and Tiare! Chileans soon in Europe looking for little friends :)
Sadly my experience with Camilla and Tiare was very bad. I have never had a bad experience using the site, so I acted with a lot of trust towards the girls. It was not possible for me to personally meet the sitters beforehand because they arrived after my departure. I therefore agreed with the sitters to lock themselves in and greet the dogs. The dogs are extremely loving towards everyone, so I trusted this process would run smoothly. The communication was not good and I could not get a hold of Camilla on the day of their arrival, making me anxious if the dogs were left alone too long. A few days into the sit I receive complaints from my neighbors about extreme noise. They are aware there is sitters and tell me that since the sitters arrival the dogs have been loud, but that particular day the dogs had been barking all day. This is not normal behavior from my dogs. My dogs can bark if they hear people passing in the building, but barking all day is worrying. I therefore immediately contact Camilla and am super worried. She claims the dogs are not left alone, but bark all day in their presence. The dogs have been with sitters at least once a month the past year and this has never been the case. I therefore know that the dogs are either very mistreated for them to bark in their presence or Camilla is lying about them leaving the dogs. A condition of being able to take the sitting was that I had a mover coming to take a moving load prepared in the kitchen. This was mentioned in the listing and I also made sure to double confirm with Camilla before accepting them as sitters that they read and agreed to this, as it was very important to me that the sitter knew this was a term for agreeing to the sit. Upon the day of the mover's arriving (the day after my neighbors complaining) I planned with my mom to stop by and supervise the mover as well as check on the dog's wellbeing. All of this I of course communicated to Camilla who was aware that my mom would come. The girls did nothing to try and calm my moms worries and closed themselves alone in the bedroom before asking if they could leave for the shop. This means my mom was alone with the 3 dogs when the mover was there. The first thing the dogs did when my mom came in was to pee and poop themselves in front of her. As my mom inspected the apartment there was dry pee and poop everywhere. It was clear that Camilla and Tiare had not walked my dogs, not even before my moms arrival. There was pee and poop from several days and my mom had to clean my apartment. My mom took the dog out for a walk and my dogs had severe diarrhea from likely being fed human food by the sitters. One of the dogs had dried diarrhea all over her backside. My mom was shocked that they would not even try to clean before her arrival or try to speak to her, as the sitters we usually have, have cared so strongly about the wellbeing of my dogs. I immediately contacted the emergency line on Trustenhousesitters and was guided to ask the sitters to leave immediately, which I did. I told the girls that treating my animals this way and leaving my house in such poor and unhygienic state was unacceptable. Camilla later claimed that there was no cleaning products to clean after the dogs. This is simply not true as I have a whole cabinet of cleaning supplies in the kitchen and even hot water and soap could have cleaned the pee and poop. There is also a detailed sitter guide with all this information in. I have put a complaint for Camilla and Tiare to be removed from the platform as I feel like they do not have the health of the animals in mind. They seem very young and probably just use this platform to be able to stay for free on their trip around europe.
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!
Abi and David were FABULOUS pet sitters during our 5-day trip. They were devoted and fun dog walkers, park-goers and ball throwers. They communicated well and sent pictures. And when we got home, the house looked great, and the dogs looked calm. We would gladly have them. Sit for us again and highly recommend them.
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.
Rebecca was amazing! She is a kind and clear communicator, took loving care of our pets, and left the house in perfect tidy shape. My husband commented, "You can't even tell she was here!" :-) Her calm demeanor, intelligence, humor, and common sense experience as a pet owner made her the ideal sitter for our 7 pets of varying species, ages, personalities, and needs. She managed the pet routine like a pro—including diapers and daily meds for our older dog—and cared for all of our pets as if they were her own. If you're looking for total peace of mind, Rebecca is your sitter!
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!
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.
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.
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.
For our first experience with a house sitter, Jim and Julie have set the bar high. We felt totally confident that any issues would be dealt with, fortunately there were none. They were outstanding house and pet sitters whom we would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone. They took exceptional care of our house full of pets from 2 large dogs, 3 cats, snake, gecko, fish tank and a koi pond. They provided updates daily, were very easy to communicate with and the house was just as clean as when we left it, with the addition of a nice welcome home gift. We knew our pets were in good hands. Thank you for everything. Melissa and Kyle
