Coral and Ken are supremely competent, caring, knowledgable and responsible. They made sure they had all the information needed prior to the start of the sit, kept in regular contact with us while we were away, efficiently handled every aspect of pet and house-sitting, and welcomed us home to two happy and healthy pups and a sparkling clean home. They took initiative - for example, contacting us when our peonies began to bloom and then droop, so that Ken could McGyver a way to support them (he loves a handy project!), - and were on top of the medication and rehab for our pup who recently had knee surgery. They not only asked us for the recipe for the frozen vegetable cubes we make for the pups when the ones we had made ran out, but they came up with a perfect name for them: "pupsicles"! They even checked with us at the end of the sit to find out what groceries they could pick for us, so we arrived home with a few comforts in the fridge. We know how very fortunate we are to have had Coral and Ken care for our precious dogs and home, and we cannot thank them enough.

It was such a pleasure to host Tricia! She was incredibly kind, organized, and responsive, and took care of our two cats like they were her own. We would welcome Tricia to stay at our house again and highly recommend her for other sits 😊

Pamela was exceptional. We found the cat and the apartment in better condition than when we left. We can't thank her enough for providing our cat with such love and care and leaving our apartment spotless.

Billie and Luke were awesome. They met with us before the sit to finalize all the details. They communicated well, they updated us with pictures and they left the house in perfect condition. We couldn’t ask for anything else. We would happily use them again.

We had to leave early so the handover was not in person. But they were wonderful about that and since they were experienced sitters took in their stride. Lots of photos, good comments from the nieghbours and I felt very comfortable leaving the doggies with them.

We are very pleased with Estelle and Saronna! They are both very sweet and friendly and easy to talk to. I really appreciated the daily updates with photos of my girls while I was away! I have 3 bengals, which are a fairly active cat breed and Estelle and Saronna did such a great job keeping them entertained! Our place was clean and tidy upon our return and the girls were very calm and relaxed. We look forward to hosting them again! Thank you so much!

Charlie and Lu were fantastic, caring, sweet and fun Petsitters. We were sent daily updates with pics of our cats with wonderful messages, they were caring for our flowers and garden and our house was spotless when they left. We couldn’t have asked for better Petsitters/Housesitters and we would love to have them back again anytime. Highly recommend 💕

Richard rescued our holiday plans at short notice after our original sitters had to cancel at short notice, we are hugely grateful to him for stepping in and turning a potential nightmare into a success in a calm and efficient manner. Richard is a very pleasant man, quiet and calm and self sufficient. Our cat was extremely happy in his care and company and has missed him since he left. He was good at sending regular updates and didn’t trouble us with any issues while we were away. He also kindly offered to get basic supplies in for us for our return, which was very thoughtful. I’m sure had there been any problems , he would have been more than capable of dealing with them. The house was very clean and tidy on our return and he had also tidied up our drive and garden, which was an unexpected pleasant surprise. We would happily have Richard to house sit again and would highly recommend him.

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.

honeybee was a great sitter for our 3 animals. She communicated very well throughout the sit. Our flight home was delayed and she was great about being able to cover the extra days. Her connection to the animals was wonderful.
We were less organized than intended on her arrival due to some unexpected work issues, and she was great about rolling with the changes (e.g. the closet doors were missing as the painter hadn't finished with them). She used public transport to get to Golden and then drove our car while here. She left a few items behind, and her attention to kitchen cleanliness could be better, but we would definitely have her sit our pets again if the opportunity arises.

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!

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.

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.

Jenny
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!

Rebecca was the best pet sitter ever!  Our chocolate lab, Kona, fell in love with her instantly and loved every minute of being around her.  She was extremely attentive to Kona, taking him for daily walks and she did a great job of sending us updates, video clips and photos.  We really loved that, knowing that Kona was being so well taken care of.  As my husband said, "OMG, she is the Dog Sitter Champion of the world!!!" She is definitely at the top of our list for future dog sitting.  If we could give her 10 stars, we would!
Thank you so very much, Rebecca!  You were amazing!  The best ever!!!

Deboraj took great care of the apartment and of our goofy unsociable cat. She went out of her way to bring catnip and make friends with Rowan. She communicated often and cared to be as good a house and pet sitter as could be. I can gladly recommend her highly to anyone else looking.
Thank you Deborah.

Jennifer was great and I would highly recommend her.  Right from the start, Jennifer was clear and helpful in her communication, and she was very available to us throughout the stay via messaging.  She sent pics of our fur babies regularly - without asking - which always makes us happy when we're away.  And the biggest compliment I can give:  when we came home, our pets were relaxed and happy, and no hidden cat messes to be found (we've had this happen with previous sitters a lot).

I would love to have Jennifer stay at our home again in future.
