Chris and Donna are truly 5-star! They took such great care of the dogs and the house making our long travel overseas completely stress free. They sent photos and updates daily. The dogs loved them so much that they are still looking for them days later. We hope they can sit for us again. A wonderful couple,

Paul and Annie are lovely sitters. They took good care of Casey & Chloe and our six 'Feather Girls'. We would definitely have them stay again for another doggy-sit should dates work out. Thanks again guys! :)

Fabio and Melanie looked after my two dogs for just over two weeks. If they apply for a sit with you, I strongly recommend you consider them. They were great communicators and came to visit the dogs the day before the sit started, which made my departure easy as the dogs were already comfortable with them. During the sit they sent me pictures and movies, which were much appreciated. On my return they had cleaned the apartment beautifully(thanks SO much!). Most importantly, the dogs seemed very happy and well cared for. Thanks Fabio and Melanie for being such amazing sitters!!

I wouldn't hesitate to ask Leah to housesit and cat sit for me in the future. Nothing was a problem for her, she bonded well with my pet and sent progress reports from time to time.

We had a wonderful experience with Gaylee as our sitter! From the moment we connected, she was friendly, communicative, and attentive. Gaylee arrived the day before the sit and so we were able to have a meal together and get to know each other and show her some of Billy's routine, and go for a walk. together. She, and her friend Jill took great care of our home and, more importantly, our dog Billy. Billy instantly warmed to Gaylee, and it was clear that he was well looked after while we were away. We returned to a spotless home and very happy dog! We were able to enjoy our time away without any worries. We'd highly recommend Gaylee for anyone looking for a reliable and caring house/pet sitter! Thanks so much Gaylee!

Our cats had a fantastic 2 weeks with Lois and Barry! The cats were clearly quite content when we returned, and our house was left very clean. Lois and Barry also took excellent care of our plants - when we returned, some had grown significantly. We absolutely recommend these two as pet sitters!

Simply the best. We cannot praise her enough. Our dog Jack loved her and was clearly very content with his time spent with Helen. Helen arrived the night before we left for our holiday. We and Jack bonded very quickly with her. . She was so easy and cheerful. It was such a relief. It meant that we could go away knowing Jack would be fine and of course he was. Helen gives gold star care. She is an absolute treasure. Thank you Helen for loving and caring for Jack. We are deeply grateful.

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!

Another amazing sit by Anna and her lovely family - our cocker spaniel Holly has had the best fortnight with these guys with lots of adventures and endless amounts of love and attention!
Highly recommend as 5-star house and pet sitters - thank you Anna - hope to see you again!

Leslie and Kyle set the bar for all other pet sitters! On the first morning of their stay my cat got out due to a faulty window in my apartment  and they handled the situation so well. Leslie sent a text explaining what happened and that my cat had returned safely and she was so calm about the whole thing that it put me at ease for the rest of my trip. Kyle went above and beyond and not only fixed the window screen (he actually fixed two screens during their stay!) but also made sure the window was secure until maintenance could come and fix the issue. Their go with the flow attitude was amazing. I would 100% have them sit for me again! I can not recommend them enough. You would be lucky to have Leslie and Kyle as your sitters :)

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.

Sharon was a fantastic sitter for our week away! She left the house as tidy and clean as we left it, including changing the sheets for our arrival. I truly cannot even tell she was here and that made coming home after a long travel day so much easier.

She was communicative every step of the way and provided daily updates on our cat with photos. We knew our home and pet were in good hands! I would gladly welcome Sharon back any time should we be so lucky : )

Monique was very nice and easy to schedule with. She sent us pictures of our dog Maisie while we were away, which we enjoyed seeing. Maisie was well cared for and had gotten plenty of exercise by the time we got home. The house was spotless, which was lovely to come home to! She had taken the trash and recycling bins out, even though we hadn’t mentioned them to her before we left. She made sure to let us know if anything was amiss so there were no surprises when we returned. Would definitely recommend her as a pet and house sitter for others. :)

Laura was an exceptional, reliable, and loving sitter for our goldendoodle Scout, and took such good care of our home!  Scout was excited to meet Laura immediately when she arrived at our home for this sit, and showered Laura with all the hugs and kisses.  Scout has recently been having issues with seizures, so for this sit I was specifically looking for a sitter who had a depth of experience with giving medication and responding calmly in the event of an emergency.  It was a big relief to be able to entrust Scout to Laura's capable and kind hands, and it was extra special that Laura's beloved vizsla had shared the same name.  Laura is wonderfully easy to communicate and coordinate with, and was thorough in her care of our home.  We came back to our garden looking great, house left in even better shape than I left it to Laura, and a very happy Scout!  I cannot overstate how much we appreciated Laura's care for Scout and our home, and heartily recommend her as a pet and house sitter.  If you're lucky enough to get on Laura's schedule, your pups will be with the most wonderful stand-in dog mom you could have hoped for!

Melanie and Steve were excellent house & pet sitters. They sent me so many pictures of my 3 cats without me even asking and it made me so happy to see them enjoying their company. I'd say out of all the house sitters I've had, they spent the most time with my cats which means a lot to me. They are kind, easy to connect with and I'd welcome them back anytime. As far as caring for my house - top notch.

Jessica was an awesome pet sitter for my cat Fifi. 
She texted photos and updates everyday so I knew that Fifi was being well cared for. 
She was communicative and asked a lot of good questions to make sure she understood Fifi's needs. 
My home was equally as clean (if not more so) upon my return. 
I would highly recommend Jessica!

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.
