Karen
Van, Texas
Caring and conscientious
Karen was exceptional!! We believe she truly cared about our dog, as if she was her own. She also cared about us. She was very communicative and interested in our travel while she cared for our dog. Karen is one of the most thoughtful people we have met! I would love Karen to sit again in our home!!
Emilye
Van, Texas
Solo “Van Girl” Traveling Full-Time and Working Virtually
This was my first time using trusted sitter and I have to say Emily’s removed any doubt for me. My two doodles were well taken care of. Emilye cleaned up the house and the areas she used while with us. I’m so thankful I took a leap of faith on this one. I hope in the future she’s available to continue to sit for us.
Robin
Van, Texas
Newly retired and ready to roam, ready to care for your pets in your home.
Rob and Angel did an outstanding job for us. They have taken care of our pet and home before, and we hope they will come again in the future. We completely trust them in our home and with our pet because they are extremely conscientious. We consider them friends now. Our dog seems so at home with them. They kept our plants and flowers watered so well that they looked better when we got home than when we left. They kept us up to date regarding our pet and home throughout our trip. When we returned, our home was clean and straight. We are so grateful to have them because they are thoughtful, and we really felt comfortable during our trip, knowing all is well at home. We thank them from the bottom of our hearts!!
Yameka
Van, Texas
Here to help !
Yameka did a fantastic job taking care of our home and pets. I really appreciated her great communication and I truly felt our pets were in good hands the whole time we were away :)
Sylvia
Van, Texas
Loving, mature animal lover. I'll take great care of your precious fur babies.
Sylvia could not be better. She took excellent care of the dog and left the house perfectly clean. I highly recommend Sylvia!
Geoff
Van, Texas
(cats) (coder) (clean) (PhD) (Trekkie) (LL: Acts of Service) (born: '77)
This was Geoff's second time to come help us out during the winter break. He was very reliable and communicated so well regarding the kitties and even helped ensure a little mouse who came in uninvited made it out of the house without harm. Geoff is someone I would recommend without hesitation. He guided me through the process of all things zeewoi and really alleviated any concerns about our pets while we were out of the country.
Jerry
Van, Texas
Fully Vaccinated Retired Couple Will Care for Your Home And Pet
We loved having Jerry and Doris back for a second stay! They continue to give Bailey all the love and attention while we are away and it was obvious on our return that he was very well cared for while we were gone. Bailey is very comfortable with them so much so he was on Doris’s lap even after we returned. Our house was spotless and they are good communicators. We hope to have Jerry and Doris return again!
Brandy
Van, Texas
Retired military, will take GREAT care of your home & pets!
This was the second time Brandy sat for us. Again, she was outstanding! She was excellent in her loving care for our dog. The house was clean and our plants thrived under her care. We highly recommend her!
Lindsey
Van, Texas
We love your animals! Domestic and international house sitting experience
Lindsey and Josh were initially responsive and communicative, making scheduling and initial video calls easy and efficient. We had two video calls; the first was with Lindsey and Josh and the second only with Lindsey. The second call included a detailed virtual tour of our home and pets, during which I gave explicit instructions on pet care. We also provided pre-recorded instructional videos for their reference. Upon our return, our home was in good condition, and our cats seemed happy and well cared for, which we truly appreciate. However, toward the end of the sit, there was an unfortunate issue with the care of our reptiles. Josh unplugged the heat lamp for one of our reptiles, believing it had shorted out and was a fire hazard, and placed it outside overnight without informing us. This was concerning because we had previously explained in the video call that the lamp, though hot (because it is a heat lamp), was functioning normally and posed no hazard. Additionally, he unplugged the extension cord providing power to our other tank leaving both our reptiles without heat for over 20 hours. While we understand the safety concern, we would have preferred immediate communication when they believed there was an issue. It was only after we noticed the lamp outside through our external security camera (which they were informed of in our listing and on the initial call) while checking if our trash had been picked up by the city after seeing our trash service was 2 days late in our community’s Facebook page and inquired that they then informed us about the situation. Fortunately, our pets were unharmed, and we confirmed that all equipment was in proper working order upon our return. Overall, while there was a miscommunication regarding the heat sources, Lindsey and Josh ensured our other pets were well looked after. Our only suggestion to them would be to ensure clear, prompt communication in case any issues arise.
Genevieve
Van, Texas
Retired married couple eager to sit at your house, ranch, or farm.
We couldn't have asked for better housesitters. Frank and Genny are kind, thoughtful, and down-to-earth, with a genuine care and interest in your home, pets, and locale. They were comfortable tackling new things, from shuffling our ducks to-and-fro to mucking out the guinea pigs, and we knew right away they would handle anything thrown at them (i.e. the occasional duck mutiny). We appreciated the brief updates and photos that let us know everything was good (particularly the bigfoot-esque sighting of the one skittish cat—not something easily come by). We returned to a clean home, happy pets, thriving houseplants, and helpful notes to let us know things like we were running low on litter. If we had to find something bad to say, our dog misses them!
Reviews from Pet Owners
Barrett
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!
Lynn
I enjoyed meeting Samara. Sosha arrived after I left so we only communicated in writing. Samara is a sweet, considerate pet sitter. She brought her cat, who posed no difficulties to my pets. Samara was in good communication with me during her stay. She used my car without incident. My home was left much cleaner than upon her arrival. Samara proved to be an honest and responsible pet sitter and I would open my home to her at any time in the future.
Evelyn & Jeff
Carolina was a fantastic Pet sitter. From the beginning, it was straightforward to communicate with her. She met us before we left our trip and ensured she understood all the house and pet logistics. Luna and Cal were very comfortable with her and were best friends with her fast. She was very affectionate with them, and Luna and Cal loved her and were very happy with her. Carolina was very responsive and sent updates. She was really lovely and easy to communicate with. She was very respectful of our space and very tidy. She even washed the sheets and towels she used even when she didn’t need to. She put a lot of care into caring for Luna and Cal, and they looked very comfortable with her. Having Carolina as a pet sitter made our trip very easy, knowing our pets were cared for so well. We would love to have her back to sit for us again and highly recommend her.
Megan
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!
Jim and Darci
Laura is hands down the best sitter that we have ever had care for our pets and house! Having her stay made our trip away so care free and added a super fun layer of getting her daily (morning and night!) updates with photos and videos, some were hilarious I love Laura’s sense of humor! We were gone 8 days and when’s we arrived home our house was cleaner than when we left, mail on the counter, yard was picked up, it was beyond what we would expect. This made our first day back so easy. Oh’ and our pets were so relaxed and happy we knew they were loved and taken care of while we were away. Laura knew that we were coming home late and she even had bought a yummy quiche, rolls, fruit and juice so that we had breakfast in the morning! Laura is responsive, a great communicator, I could go on but simply put she is welcome at our house anytime. Simply the best!! Thank you tons Laura!!
Valerie + Jon
Judith was one of the most considerate, trustworthy sitters we've ever had. We had to leave in a rush for a family emergency and really didn't have time to prepare the house as we usually do, but Judith took all in stride, leaving the apartment spotless. She sent photos of Baby Boo and Janet on arrival, putting us immediately at ease because it was so obvious the cats were completely comfortable, zero stress, allowing us to relax that they were in such good hands. She sent photos and video every day, which delighted us, confident that they were getting next level care. Judith would take care of anyone's home and pets with as much care as she did at ours, and we highly recommend. Hope she can come back!!
Martha
Angela and Joe are wonderful house and pet sitters sitters in every way. They have a great loving way with animals and my shy dog warmed up to them right away. They are warm, organized, confident, and thorough. They communicated very well and gave me frequent updates and sweet photos of my dog Chica. They also took excellent care of my home. My only regret was that I didn't get to spend more time with them, because they're such lovely and interesting people. I give Angela and Joe my highest recommendation and feel that anyone would be very lucky to have them their sitters! I hope that they return to sit here again.
Wanda
What an amazing couple we had as pet sitters for our two dogs!
You can truly feel their love for animals.
Nancy sent pictures a couple of times letting us know that they were having fun also with our Cody and Carson!
Our home was perfect when we got home. They even left a beautiful potted flower and card on our island in our kitchen.
We highly recommend this couple!

Neil and Anne have just sat for us for a second time, for a week. They are outstanding sitters in every way. Always punctual with communication and arrival. They both have responsible jobs and this is evident as they are both very organised. They care very much about the animals they look after. We were regularly sent updates, pictures and video clips of them, which is great to see when you are away. When we came home we were greeted by happy pets and an immaculately tidy house. We cannot recommend Neil and Anne enough. As far as we are concerned they are perfect housesitters! …...Hopefully they will come back and sit again soon!
Beth
Jessica was so rad. I wish she could be our go-to sitter for all our travel. Came over for an in-person orientation, took great care of house and pets and seamless communication. Thank you, Jessica!
