Chris

Chris was excellent!!!! Loved having him and would recommend every time. Hope he is able to come back again soon! 😄 sent so many great pics of the pups - you could tell he had a good time with them and vice versa. Thank you Chris!

Elliott & Becca

Great house-sitters. Happy cats and lovely clean tidy house all prepared and ready for our return.

Heidi & Ryan

Heidi took incredible care of my dog and my apartment while I was traveling for almost a month! She was a great communicator and took the time to understand both my dogs needs and my expectations for how much communication I wanted. She sent me some great photos of him while I was out and was very professional. I would invite her to come house sit again in a second! I could also tell that she really loves dogs and enjoyed spending time with my pup. I returned home to a super clean apartment and a nice note. All to say- highly recommend her!!

Melanie

We were so fortunate that Melanie was available to stay with our 15-year-old cat, Little Bits for 12 days. Our sweet female calico has gotten older and a little more frail dealing with hyperthyroidism. My husband and I were concerned yet hopeful that we’d find the right person to look after her needs. Well, Melanie was a gem; we didn't have a single worry the entire time we were away. We were also very grateful that she was able to arrive the evening before we left so we could go over things in the house and get acquainted. We knew instantly Bits would be in excellent hands. Melanie was watchful and very attentive. Her communication was beyond exceptional and we loved getting updates with photos of our girl. It was obvious that Little Bits was very happy with her new friend. When we returned we found our home clean and in perfect order. Melanie did an amazing job!

Kristina Adler & Matthew Adler

Kristina and Matt took wonderful care of our dog and our home. Our dog was actually injured in a fight just before the trip so we were nervous to leave him. Upon meeting them both I felt very comfortable leaving our dog in their care. Kristina has a very calming presence and I know she worked her magic with our dog! They sent us pictures and updates throughout the visit easing our worries. On arrival home Matt had even fixed a few things in our house! What a blessing! They also picked up dog food for us and refused to let us compensate which was much appreciated. Overall I would 100% have them back and highly recommend them!

Katherine

Kate arrived on time, spent the night and got familiar with the house, was even kind enough to drop me at the airport. Came home to a happy dog, a spotless house and barely any evidence that she had even been here. Perfect sitter. 10/10

Fernando

Great couple that really cared for our house and dogs. Would recommend them for anyone. They kept us updated and communicated with us while we were gone. We really felt confident that our house and fur babies were in good hands.

Diana

Diana was absolutely amazing to work with and did a fantastic job with my dogs. She has a lot of dog experience and patience for working with my shy girl, that needed extra attention. She was so accommodating to our schedule and has great communication. The house was spotless when we returned. If you’re looking for a house sitter you can trust to treat your furry family and home like their own, I highly recommend Diana. I feel fortunate to have met her, and I would happily invite her back anytime.

Hope

Hope was a delight to have in our hope. She sent us daily pictures and updates of our dogs and was easy to communicate with leading up to the housesitting period.

Madeline

Madeleine was fantastic! Responsive and reliable.

Katherine & Aaron

Katherine and Aaron were great. They were very easy to communicate with and everything went very smoothly. Maggie was well taken care of. They left the house very clean. Would happily have them back.

Anna

Anna was a breath of fresh air for a last minute sit. We were really anxious about having to leave our dogs this time, because one of them was having some health issues. Not only did Anna reassure us of the extra care she would give to our pups, she followed through completely. We are so grateful to have such a trustworthy, reliable sitter who did great with our boys.

Grant

Theresa did a wonderful job of sitting for our two energetic dogs!  She was easy to communicative with, asked how best to meet the bowsers, made arrangements to arrive in plenty of time to get oriented, and was very attentive to detail on both the house and pet care.  We recommend her highly!

Patricia

Patricia was most welcoming, starting with our very first communication. She gave me a tour when I arrived. A couple of updates to the Welcome Guide were necessary, and she quickly corrected these when I contacted her for clarification. 

Paka is a sweet and loving cat. She slept on the edge of the bed a few nights. Cats are often shy about belly rubs, so it was a treat that Paka is totally relaxed in that regard. 

Fun for both of us to watch the deer who regularly visited the backyard, and a bonus for me to have the beach and stores close by. I enjoyed local treats and beautiful weather! 

The downstairs apartment was not as quiet as advertised (new upstairs family and pets since Patricia had completed a earlier version of the Welcome Guide), but they neighbors were kind and friendly when our paths would cross.

I would feel comfortable staying with Paka again.

Steph

Sitting for these two cats was so easy and fun. Loki is a curious little one and loves napping next to you and has so much energy. Binx is shy but also very nice. He will keep an eye on you and when he warms up he may nap next to you.  
Binx required some meds but it wasn’t difficult to give to him. 
The house is gorgeous and Stephanie was wonderful at communication. She left me a snack and would check in on us. I would sit here again!

Casey Leigh

It’s was amazing experience staying in Casey’s place. Bagel is so adorable and affectionate.
I’ve spent such a great 2 weeks there! Thank u and would be glad to come again!
