My 9-day trip overseas was going to be the longest I had ever been away from my cat Lenny since I foster failed and adopted him 4 years ago. Lenny has a medical condition that can be aggravated by stress, and I was worried that my going away for this length of time could stress him out. So I wanted to make sure he was cared for my someone who prioritized him and wanted him to be comfortable. Jessica was the first sitter who applied after I posted the sit, and after some correspondence we had a video chat, with left me with a very good feeling about her. Many other sitters applied and I was in contact with several of them, but for a variety of reasons, Jessica felt like the best choice. I am so glad I chose her! She communicated with me regularly, in the way that I requested, with messages and photos so that I always knew how Lenny was doing. Part way through my trip we had a video call so I could check in with her and see Lenny live. It was very clear from the start that Lenny really liked and trusted Jessica and that he was getting a lot of love and attention. This gave me great peace of mind. I came back to a very neat and tidy home, left as I requested. And while Lenny was happy to see me, I knew that he was not ignored while I was away. I feel so fortunate that Jessica was my catsitter. She was reliable, communicative and organized and I will use her again whenever possible!

I’m so grateful to have had Debbie and her husband pet sit my 2 dogs during my trip to Alaska.  First, she is an exemplary communicator, asking detailed questions regarding pet and plant care and remaining in close contact.  Second, Debbie seemed to genuinely enjoy lavishing these quirky dogs with lots of affection.  Upon her departure, Debbie expressed concern that my Cavalier, Annie, might have a urinary tract infection.  I took Annie to the vet, where a urine sample confirmed Debbie’s observation.  Finally, the house and the patio were perfectly clean upon my return.  I highly recommend this couple!

Todd and Janis were wonderful house and cat sitters.  Not only did they gamely clean up after Voula vomited, but washed and changed the linens, which was not expected.  Voula was happy when we came home, which means she was well cared for.
You will be lucky if they choose you as a home.

Rebecca was an excellent communicator and kept me updated without needing to be asked. She took great care of my cats who were very relaxed when I returned. House was also spotless - highly recommend.
