We can't thank Deb & Tony enough. This was our very first experience with someone else looking after our fur babies and house. Within 5 minutes of arriving, both girls were interacting and lapping up the cuddles. We appreciated the communication and photos while we were away and when we got home, we had 3 happy pets and a clean home. Highly recommended.

Lou did a fabulous job looking after my house and Darcy and Daisy. So much so that Darcy sat at the front door waiting for her to come back after she left. Lou left the place clean and tidy and was very communicative. I could holiday with peace of mind that everything was well taken care of at home.

Nathans & Claire were brilliant house sitters and carer's for our energetic labradoodle Ava. They kept in regular communication throughout their stay and we returned to a very happy and healthy dog. The house was spotless and wouldn't hesitate to have Claire and Nathan sit again.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Naomi! Her level of responsibility was truly exemplary. Not only were our dogs incredibly happy and well-cared for, but we also returned to a house that was spotless and tidy. We couldn't have asked for more! It's such a relief to find such a trustworthy sitter such as Naomi who embody such dedication and professionalism. We highly recommend her to anyone in need of reliable and attentive care for their furry friends.

Lourdes and Gregorio were the best house sitters. They looked after the animals wonderfully. I had my daughters dog which had been with me for a short time with some behavioral issues and required medications, which they dealt with well. My old dog was sick while l was away and they were very worried and contacted me quickly to let me know, which l was really appreciative of their concern for the animals and their quick response. They kept me up to date on how the animals were while l was overseas. I have used them before and l will be using them again. A lovely young couple and l would recommend them for any house sit. Thank you once again. Jane Townsville Australia

Lois and Mark were really awesome house and pet sitters. I got regular updates and photos of our pets and they took good care of our plants too. They left the house very clean, putting the linens in the wash and dryer and making up our daughter’s bed. I’d definitely use them again.

Lindsay and Bryce provided excellent care to our two cats while we were gone. They are great communicators, took amazing care of our apartment and send regular updates and photos so that we knew all was going well. We would absolutely recommend them as responsible and thoughtful pet sitters who can be entrusted with the care of your home and pets.

Felecia was an excellent sitter and perfect companion for Livi, our 3 yr old Aussie mix! She was always prompt with communication when needed, took great care of our pet and house and was just as clean coming home as we left it. I would not hesitate to recommend Felecia for other sits.

Kyle was a great house sitter and pet sitter for us. We had a good dialogue prior to him sitting for us, and we also did a short walkthrough the week before. Kyle formed a great bond with our dog Charlie and also took good care of our rabbit Poppy. A couple of minor issues came up with systems in our home due to an unexpected power outage, and Kyle was quick to connect with us and then was able to work 1:1 with the service providers to resolve the issues. We look forward to working with Kyle again.

I felt totally confident in leaving Darcy and my house in Elaine’s care and I returned to a very contended dog and a perfectly clean and tidy house. Elaine arrived the day before I left so I was able to get to know her and enjoy an evening meal with her before my very early flight. We kept in contact while I was away via WhatsApp and I was happy to see photos of Darcy relaxing in her usual favourite places. It was lovely to be welcomed back home after my holiday by a very well looked after dog and it was so nice that Elaine was here to welcome me and had the lamps on, flowers in vases and a meal in the oven.  My house was clean and tidy and Darcy has enjoyed a week of lovely walks and neck scratches. I highly recommend Elaine as a completely reliable pet and house sitter and she is a lovely lady to chat to. I was so pleased that I got to know her.

Angelica was a wonderful pet sitter for our dog Rosie! She was easy to communicate with before and during the sit (very responsive), and made time to do a walk through of our house/intro to Rosie prior to the sit. She was extremely reliable throughout the process, and left our house really neat. Rosie was happy when we got home! We'd be happy to have Angelica sit for us again and would recommend her to anyone!

We've had many pet sitters over the years (this is our first time using this app) and Missy is the best sitter we've ever had for our dog and cats. Our pets, particularly our dog, adored her and was really sad to see her go. It is obvious she loves animals and immediately understood the pack dynamics and the pet personalities. She kept the house tidy, litter box clean, and the animals so well loved.  
Because she was traveling from far away, she stayed with us the night before our trip and the night we came back. It was a pleasure to get to know her. We would welcome her back to our house as a friend or a sitter anytime. Highly recommend!

Lyndsey and Jordan were wonderful pet sitters and house guests. They kept us informed of how our pets were doing and went above and beyond to care for them. We felt entirely comfortable leaving our home and pets in their hands and arrived home to find everything tidy and the pets well cared for. We would absolutely have them sit again if the need arose.

I have had 4 pet sitters this year so far.  And Liz was the best!  She was wonderful with cats.  She has an easy going manner and is very comfortable to be around.  Very smart and she is a great communicator. She followed all directions and left the house spotless.  I highly, highly, highly recommend her!  I would have her again anytime!

Milly was a lovely house sitter and I’d highly recommend her. She submitted a really great application and after a FaceTime chat it was an easy decision to choose her for our sit. 
She is the youngest sitter we’ve chosen but she has a maturity beyond her years and it was clear she had so much experience with animals that we felt confident leaving her in charge of our menagerie. Olive our young Pom has never been left with a sitter before so we were a little worried about how she would be but Milly was so patient, gentle and kind that she quickly won Olive over. So much so, on the morning Milly was leaving ,Olive would only let Milly put her harness on her before going for a walk. All the animals were perfectly cared for while we were away and we returned home to happy pets and a tidy house. 
Milly’s communication from our first contact and right through the sit was great and she even sent a lovely video of the dogs having fun on their walk. 
I’d have Milly back to housesit for us again anytime.
