Pet Sitters in Bentleigh East

Karina & Thern

Thern and Karina are part of our family! They are amazing humans and we count ourselves so lucky to have met them. Thank you for being so caring and always having the dogs’ best interests at heart.

Julia

Julia looked after our house and our dogs and cat fantastically! She is a super star house and pet sitter!

Sarma

We were extremely pleased with Sarma and Noel. If we were asked to describe the perfect house sitters this couple would be an excellent example. Noel came to our house before we left and he was given a tour not only of the property but also the woods where we walk Cassie. He was very diligent and both Sarma and Noel showed a great deal of affection for our furry friends. We could see this from the pictures we were sent. The house was left clean and tidy and this made our return to home easy and enjoyable. We hope that the guide we provided was useful and that they enjoyed their visits to Bury St Edmunds and the Ickworth Estate. We would welcome Noel and Sarma back, as would Cassie and Polly

Nahuel & Lara

Thank you so much Lara and Nahuel for caring for our two very energetic dogs, chickens and budgies. You looked after the house so well and left it so clean for our return. Thank you for your attentiveness especially when Sonny had a sore on his leg. Your communication was fantastic keeping us regularly updated. We thoughly enjoyed receiving photos of your adventures together and how comfortable the dogs were around you both (Raine especially lol). It was really reassuring and allowed us to relax and enjoy our trip knowing they were being well cared for. Wishing you all the best in your future stays!

Jette

The girls were warm and friendly and keen to learn about other cultures. They even managed to get some part time work to help them travel around Australia. I was very pleased for them to stay a few days longer to get some more paid work. So proud of them

Marc

Marc and Sarah see absolutely amazing, they took great care of my Pet and the house. I came home to a very clean house and very happy Cat, I would happily have them sit my house again. Thanks! 10/10

Victoria

While we were considering her application, and ahead of her visit, Victoria was accomodating and communicative and therefore very easy to plan with. On the day before the sit started Victoria and her partner Matthew made the time to visit our house and meet our pet, so they would not be meeting ‘cold’ on the day. Victoria took physical notes of what we told her about our house and our pet so was entirely self sufficient during the sit and asked no further questions. While sitting she provided regular updates and photographs of our pet. She left the house in very good order and even mde up the bed with clean sheets before leaving.

Bryleigh

I am absolutely thrilled to share my outstanding experience with Bryleigh, who recently house-sat for me while taking care of my beloved dog, Budget, and my charming cat, Butter. Traveling all the way from Australia, Bryleigh spent a month at my home, and I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect guest or house-sitter. From the moment Bryleigh arrived, it was clear that she was a true animal lover. Budget and Butter immediately took to her, and it was evident she had a natural gift for understanding and caring for pets. Budget was happily exercised and pampered, while Butter enjoyed plenty of attention and affection. Bryleigh’s gentle and attentive care made the time away from home so much easier, knowing my furry friends were in such capable hands. But Bryleigh’s talents don’t stop at pet care! As if being an incredible pet-sitter wasn’t enough, she was also a fantastic roommate. We shared a space for the month, and Bryleigh made it feel like a home away from home. She was considerate, respectful, and an absolute joy to be around. And let’s talk about the meals—Bryleigh is an amazing cook! I was treated to a variety of delectable dishes, each one better than the last. Her culinary skills are top-notch, and her meals added an extra touch of delight to the experience. In summary, Bryleigh is the complete package: a devoted pet-sitter, an outstanding roommate, and a culinary wizard. Her kindness, reliability, and wonderful personality made my time away stress-free and enjoyable. I can’t recommend her highly enough and would welcome her back in a heartbeat. If you ever have the chance to host Bryleigh, consider yourself incredibly fortunate!

Aurore

As our first house and cat sitter Aurore has set a very high standard. Her communication was outstanding from the first contact. She kept in regular communication whilst we were overseas. She sent frequent updates on the cats (including pictures and videos) and let us know as soon as something out of the ordinary happened (like the cats bringing snakes into the house or her getting bogged on our driveway). She handled all these situations with ease and is very self sufficient and resourceful. She connected with our cats very well and much quicker than any stranger ever has. She displayed a very genuine connection and care for our fur babies and our home. Aurore welcomed us home with a tidy house and a beautiful meal which was much appreciated after 2 days of travel. We sincerely hope that Aurore will come back and house sit for us again or just pop in for a visit! We would 100% recommend Aurore to anyone who is looking for someone to care for their pets and home with love and care. Thank you Aurore for being such an amazing house and cat sitter. Hope to see you again soon :)

Victor

Victor was wonderful! Great communication before and during the stay. Dotty was well looked after and happy. The house was immaculate to come home to. Would highly recommend Victor to care for your pets and house. Thank you Victor!

Javiera

Javiera was absolutely amazing. She’s provided updates and cared for my Brunelli like her own. The communication whilst we were travelling was perfect and we came home to a spotless house. Initially I had doubts on getting someone to look after Brunelli who we didn’t know, however from the very beginning Javiera was so accommodating and answered all my questions which set my mine at ease. Thank you so much for being the perfect sitter 😊.

Sara

Sara and Alex were fantastic- they took such good care of our two dogs and our home, giving us regular updates and leaving the place so tidy! The dogs were clearly really comfortable and happy with them, which meant the world to us, and they had no issues following the food and walking routine. Super couple, wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them as Housesitters.

Shirley

We sat for Shirley and Tony whilst they holidayed in Cuba.  We arrived a couple of days early so as to get used to the house, environment and of course the three dogs.  
Shirley and Tony welcomed us and made us feel totally at ease.  The three dogs, Stebbie, Bella and Kayla were a breeze to look after and a complete joy to have around, each one of them had their own unique character.  Stebbie the pack leader and the oldest dog couldn't walk very far, but still liked to roam up the drive to "mark his territory" and Bella and Kayla enjoyed longer walks for as long as you would like to take them.  
At the back of the house are miles and miles of open country with great walks which were interesting to explore with beautiful views.  The local town of Cehegin is only an eight minute drive away with all facilities.
I would recommend this house sit if you enjoy the peace and tranquility of the country side.

Emma

Emma was very hospitable and Toby was such a well behaved dog. He was a pleasure to look after and he got on so gently with our 5 month old son Miles! We hope to sit for them again in the future! The house was in a lively part of the world and was a fabulous cottage with real character!

Vicki

We had a great stay at Vicky's place with the two dogs Swanson and Titus. The house and the view were amazing and we had enough time to explore Lake Tahoe and its nature. Communication was very easy and Jeff explained us everything we needed to know for our stay and how to take care of the dogs. We highly recommend them and would come back.

Mirva & Antti

Mirva and Antti are a lovely couple. More than welcoming, they took care of me. I had a great time with them in the lovely town of tampere and their apartment is fabulous for enjoying the lake view. They have a great organization concerning the care of the cats, with the welcome book and some demonstrations, it was easy to take care of the cats myself. During their trip we continued to exchange to get news. I will miss Max and the other cats too. I hope to be able to come back to continue taking care of them and exploring Tampere. =) Thank you for your trust ! <3

Sophie

It was perfect, Giselle is an adorable and beautiful cat, it was a pleasure to take care of her in this cute house. Sophie is a nice person, the communication was super fluid. Again, it was perfect, even the chickens were friendly ahah

Molly

This was a fantastic sit. Molly is a solid host — laid back and a great communicator, and we appreciated her check-ins to ensure we were comfortable. 

Molly’s home is in an ideal location in Marin. It is walkable to good local spots and endless trails. The star of show, Stevie, is a lovable and very well-behaved dog. She consistently greeted us with the most excitement, even if we’d only been gone to the downstairs apartment for a few minutes. She is friendly to all dogs and people, and we truly enjoyed spending time and playing with her. Definitely recommend this sit and would love to return if the opportunity arises.
