Bozena and Rick were reliable, friendly, and self-sufficient dog sitters. I felt comfortable leaving my house and puppy in their hands. They took my dog for several long walks, including in the woods, which I’m sure she enjoyed. They are welcome back anytime!

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!!!!

I cannot express enough how reliable, caring, and trustworthy the pet sitters were, especially considering that nothing went as planned and everything seemed to be a worst-case scenario. Kiara, our old dog, was usually healthy and low maintenance, accustomed to being alone for extended periods of time. However, a week before our trip, she started experiencing what we initially thought was severe back pain, which quickly turned into a more serious situation. Her immune system weakened, and her lab results were concerning. We had a discussion with the pet sitters, explaining the situation and offering them the option to back out since it was a different arrangement than they had signed up for. Kiara now needed to be carried going up and down stairs, multiple medications, and constant monitoring. Also, we were unsure if we should proceed with our travel plans. After two days, we received the diagnosis of a tick bite infection, and Kiara responded well to antibiotics. We made the decision to go on our trip, but with the understanding that we would return immediately if her condition worsened. To make things easier, we lent the pet sitters our car so they could transport Kiara comfortably, and they took her to a first check-up to the vet. The first check-up went well, but the bloodwork revealed something unusual, leading to another examination. Unfortunately, Kiara's health deteriorated rapidly before the second check-up, and the veterinarian informed us that she didn't have much time left as the antibiotics were not effective. We had to cut our trip short and fly back immediately. Throughout this entire ordeal, the pet sitters were incredible. They took exceptional care of Kiara, keeping us informed of any signs that could be of concern. We knew she was with people that were monitoring her closely and we got small bits of updates multiple times a day. Additionally when she was not feeling so well the guys brought her to the couch with them and kept her company. When her conditioned worsened we had to cancel the second half of the pet sitting to be with Kiara during her last day, the pet sitters graciously gave us space. We offered to manage their accommodations, but they insisted we need not worry about them. However, we insisted on partially paying for their accommodation for that night and provided alternative options if needed. We are eternally grateful not only for taking care of Kiara while we were away but also for understanding our need to come back and be with her during her final moments. Needless to say, the car and the flat were in perfect condition and spotless clean. We wish them bost the absolute best.

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.

Can’t recommend Milla enough!! She did a brilliant job looking after our dog, Winnie, whilst we were overseas. We were quite nervous leaving him for a full month, but he was instantly relaxed with Milla and was very sad to see her go. She kept us up to date with regular photos and was very easy to communicate with.

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.

Tina was a fantastic house/pet sitter for my cat Trixie - I can’t recommend her enough! She was very communicative and also self sufficient and I felt completely at peace with Trixie in her care. She took it upon herself to water my plants and also trimmed Trixie’s nails, which I always struggle with! She provided perfect company for Trixie, playing with her, brushing her, loving her and giving her daily medicine. She also left my apartment in perfect condition. I would gladly have Tina pet sit again. A 10/10 experience.

Kelly was flawless, she was a fantastic pet sitter and house sitter.  She was over communicating with pictures and updates.  We were at total peace knowing Kelly was overseeing Leo and Bella.  Kelly connected with our dogs perfectly. We loved how Kelly daily took our dogs for walks and even an extended hikes.  She has our full and complete recommendation.

Tom provided a last minute sit when my 2 week long trip got extended to the 3rd. The previous zeewoi sitter was no longer available for the 3rd week, and Tom came in as a savior. As requested, he started his sit a day prior to the posted dates (thank you for being flexible). He met the prior zeewoi in person, since I was not in town, and got to know the house and cats quickly. He sent pictures of the cats each day and added a note about their well being. He was independent and was able to figure out how to use the litter genie on his own. I returned to a clean home and healthy happy cats. Would love to have Tom return and recommend him to anyone leaving their pets in his care.

Angie and Joe have been our go-to pet sitters for our dogs, Cooper and Kona, on multiple occasions, and they consistently deliver exceptional care. Each time we've entrusted our pups to their care, Angie and Joe have gone above and beyond to ensure their well-being. Their genuine love for animals has always left us worry-free and able to fully enjoy our time away. Cooper and Kona's excitement whenever they see Angie and Joe speaks volumes about the bond they've formed. We sincerely recommend Angie and Joe to anyone seeking reliable and caring pet sitters.

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 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.

Leo and Susi were wonderful pet sitters for our two cats.  They were responsive, communicative, and gracious guests, and the I swear the house was cleaner when we got home than we left it.  The cats were very contented.  Any time we leave we will be checking in with them first.   Such a pleasure to work with.

David was an outstanding house/pet sitter for our active pup Tosha, older kitty Rascal, and 4 chickens.  Rascal came home with a deep, gaping wound the day before we left for 11 days, and David was very responsible in monitoring the healing process with photos and texts to us.  He exercised Tosha in the neighborhood and local parks, and obviously enjoyed her company. Our house was spotless and extremely neat when we got home, which is always welcoming after a long trip. We are very grateful for the excellent care David gave to our precious pets and home.
