The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.
James and Sissi are the sweetest couple. Ready to help in any situation. Even ready to take on 15 newly acquired geese, and that's from having previous homestead experience (Steve did attack one which James calmly sorted out before we got back). Super tidy and very trustworthy, animals were happy and so were we! We will welcome them back and wish them safe travels :)

We love to make that special effort for your pets
Elizabeth was an amazing petsitter for our little dog Molly. She sent us photos and updates throughout her stay so we always knew Molly was doing great. Elizabeth was very communicative before the sit and even offered to come a few days early to meet us and Molly. She was so friendly at we felt great about having her stay at our house. When we got home the house was so tidy and in great condition. I would absolutely recommend Elizabeth to anyone looking for a petsitter!!!

Trust worthy couple looking for pet sit
Ziggy and Stardust are normally very cautious around new people and somehow Donna and Darren completely won them over! I have never seen them so settled, calm and content when we have arrived home from a holiday! We were able to meet Donna and Darren for a video chat and then in person before the sit started and it was clear immediately that our cats and home would be well looked after whilst we were away. Whilst we were away they kept us up to date as much as was needed and when we returned home I'm sure the house was cleaner than when we left! We are already planning another sit from them for next summer and my only hesitation to recommend them is that other people will 'steal' them from us!..

Mature, trustworthy, reliable, animal loving couple .
Marcus and Gina looked after our animals for 17 days while we went on holiday. They sent me photos every second day of my dog out on walks, this made me feel at ease knowing she was safe and happy. I also asked them to look after my cow, this was out of their comfort zone but they did a great job of feeding him twice a day. They left my house spotless. I would highly recommend them to others

We love travel, we love animals! Active, non-smoking NZ/UK couple available now!
I am writing this review because it looks as though I don’t rate them but the real reason is that they couldn’t come because we were all locked down last year and had to stay at home! Really wished I’d met them… I’m sure they would have been great! I give them five stars anyway 👍

Kiwi girl that loves animals!
Hana is a lovely, caring person.on meeting her I knew straight away that Peril would be ok with her and he was. The house was left very clean and tidy I didn't need to do anything when I got back. I wish she lived a bit closer than New Zealand as I would have no hesitation in having her stay here again. Safe travels Hana.

Jon and Jill. House sitters and pet carers from Auckland, New Zealand.
I was so delighted with Gillian and Jon, they are both friendly and easy going, my cats immediately warmed to them and I felt so secure leaving them with my pets and my home. The place was in better condition than when I left it and my cats were relaxed and happy when I got home. I can't thank them enough, and would have them sit again in a heartbeat. 100% recommend!!! Thank you Gill and Jon!

Responsible and reliable older women or couple
Marion and her granddaughters took wonderful care of our pets and our house which gave us great comfort while we were away. We would certainly use her service again.
Amanda was the perfect housesitter and pet sitter for our cat. She is organized and communicative, and took care to ensure she understood the guidelines for taking care of our home and our cat. She left our house in perfect condition and we returned home to one happy kitty! Would not hesitate to have Amanda housesit for us again or recommend her to others looking for a sitter.
Meg was a dream pet sitter for my three year old labradoodle. She gave him nice long walks and was very organized, communicative and tidy. I look forward to another opportunity to have Meg in my home!
Mary Jessica was a wonderful house and pet sitter for our GIANT dog Mamma Mia. She took extremely good care of our house with it cleaner than we left it upon our return. Our neighbors remarked on all the walks she gave Mamma and Mamma seemed very pleased with the entire experience. Mary Jessica was self sufficient, needing very little instruction outside of our Welcome Guide. She followed everything I wrote and asked how much communication I’d want. I’m very pleased and would both recommend her and love to have her again.
Great pet care. The house was clean and tidy. The sitters had great communication. Would recommend again!
Andrea was the perfect sitter for our older Italian Greyhound and our shy cat. She followed every request to a “t”, and helped us to feel comfortable and care free for a long zeewoi. The communication of photos and videos were a warm reminder of how well they had been adjusting to our absence. Andrea showed care and consistent compassion for Darcy and Hammy. She seemed to enjoy them and our home as much as us! We returned to an absolutely spotless home, without anything left undone. She thought of everything related to us and our pets, so we could have a seamless late evening return. We highly recommend Andrea for any zeewoi, as she is a jewel. Anyone looking for a “perfect” sitter would be lucky to have Andrea as a trustworthy, considerate and kind person to care for their pets and home.
Megan and her partner were INCREDIBLE pet & house sitters during my 5 days away last month. I received consistent communication in the form of updates & photos and I had the true sense that Megan was invested in the wellbeing of my animals and truly enjoyed being with them! My house was CLEANER than I left it (immaculate!) and she left a sweet card thanking us upon our return. Truly the best sitting experience I've had thus far, thank YOU so much!
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
Thomas did an amazing job! We were very pleased with how well he was able to care for our 3 active Boston terriers. He was able to handle all 3 on a walk and feed them their special meal everyday. He even ventured out and took them to the beach which is no easy task for 3 excited dogs. Thomas did a great job communicating before and during the stay. We came home to a clean house with bedding washed. We had a handful of other pet sitters through this website and Thomas easily rates at the top of our list. Thank you for taking great care for the dogs and the house.
Janis is absolutely the best pet sitter and home care we have had. She is a regular for us during our Christmas vacation because we totally trust her with the care of our three dogs and the management of our home. She is so good and efficient that I have already requested that she sits for us again next Christmas. Our three dogs absolutely adored her as she played fetch, took them on walks, loved and spoiled them. Management of our home was excellent. I had no concerns whatsoever as we had packages delivered and Mail that needed to be picked up. The house was in much better condition than what we left it. I highly recommend Janis and you will be fortunate to have her as your sitter.
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!
