Jane and David were great sitters. Our home was clean and tidy when we returned and our dogs were happy and well cared for. We would be happy to have them sit for us again sometime.

Dorothy is very delightful and it's very clear that she loves pets, especially cats. Jimmy took to he at once. Dorothy is very responsible and we came home a nice clean house. Highly recommend her and would love to have her sit for Jimmy again.

MaKendra

MaKendra is a gem! Personable, considerate, loving, patient and respectful. Everything you could ask for in someone who is caring for your loved furry one. You’d be fortunate to have her stay at your home. Thank you, MaKendra!

Jennifer

Jennifer is amazing. We couldn't imagine better for our cat and our home. She took great care of our pet in our absence. We heard from her every day by photo and video. Our cat was treated like a little prince and loved Jennifer. We found our house clean and tidy, Jennifer took good care of it. She was super organized. More than adorable, attentive and caring, she's the ideal person if you're looking for a petsitter. Our only regret: not having her at home for every trip. Thank you so much !

Tempest

They were so amazing! Very efficient and courteous! They both seem like very sweet people and even my neighbors told me how great they were! I hope they come and sit for me again!!!

Hannah

July 22, 2022 Hannah and her boyfriend Chiyoung were ideal house sitters for my two dogs, Charlie and Gertie. They relentlessly walked the dogs three times a day and allowed them time to meet their canine friends in the hood. They also proved to be excellent at keeping my house in good shape and in looking after my swimming pool. The place was in better shape than before I left to visit my sister in Scotland. Hannah and Chiyoung have my highest recommendation.. I give them five stars in every category. John McClintcok

Robert

Robert was a great sitter. He was flexible in timing and very organized. He took great care of my cats and flat. I can just highly recommend him

Ariel

Ariel was a wonderful house sitter. She took great care of our home and Pinny. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone and would love to use her again!

Mary & John

Mary was wonderful throughout the week, even though my complicated TV system never worked for her. She never complained once! She kept my plants watered, fed my birds, and ensured my Cavalier was happy and spoiled. She was truly amazing!

Kimberly

Kim was a wonderful and very competent house sitter. We communicated easily and clearly from the beginning. She was easy going and took to the chores quickly, which is saying a LOT since we asked a lot of her with 20 sheep, 20 chickens, ducks, bunnies, a dog a a cat! She took our dog for long hikes and made sure to find backup care when she had to leave for a day so that the animals wouldn't be alone for too long. Upon our return, it was clear that all the animals were well cared for and she even weeded my garden!! The house was very tidy and clean. We really enjoyed having Kim stay in our home. She instantly felt like an old friend and she had a great sense of humor, too.

Anne & Cindy

Anne was wonderful to work with. She responded to all my communication promptly She was flexible and so easy to work with. I highly recommend her!

Lisabeth & Nahomy

We invited Lisabeth and Nahomy a third time for taking care of our pet dog Moose and housesitting, and they were fantastic, as usual! They stayed for 2 weeks, and while this was the longest time we’ve been away from our Moose, our anxieties were lifted knowing he’d be in good hands. We received daily videos/photos of Moose’s adventures with the two of them, and we could tell Moose was so happy and taken cared of. Since it was a longer stay, they also gave us a more detailed update halfway through the stay on Moose’s routine, behavior, appetite, and meds. Moose’s diet had changed slightly from their last stay, and they had no problem adapting for us/Moose. We really appreciate the thoroughness and great communication that Lisabeth/Nahomy give. Additionally, our house was well taken cared of and very clean when we got back. Lisabeth/Nahomy are very tidy, organized, and dependable. During their stay, they were able to bring in our mail/packages and took care of any dishes/trash from their stay. We and Moose are lucky to have Lisabeth and Nahomy, and we highly recommend them as your next house/petsitter!

Sereina

Eva took care of our two cats for a few days. Even in this short time she suceeded in forming a bond with the two shy cats. She was patient and caring. We returned to happy cats that were taken care of very well and a tidy apartment. We can absolutely recommend Eva.

Christiane

Kyle and Deanna stayed with me for two and a half weeks, while I was on holiday. 
Organisation before was friendly, fast and direct. Before the sit we shared an evening and a meal, they are very kind and considerate people. 
They sent me frequent updates during my holiday, took great care of the cats and my plants!
Thanks Deanna and Kyle 😇
