Although I have used TH several times since 2018, this is the first review I have submitted. Tom has restored my faith in both TH in general and sitters under 30 in particular! Tom arrived late on a Friday night and I did not leave until Monday afternoon so I could show him around. At some point either on Saturday or early Sunday I noticed Tigger following him around. It was obvious he wanted to be close to Tom. I had never seen Tigger do this before. The previous sitter took good care of them, but I did not see much affection or connection even after 4 months together. With Tom I could see it almost immediately. It was mutual between him and the dogs. He cooked their meat and veggies to mix in with the kibble, gave Tigger his obligatory supplement every day and walked them very early on the beach before the sun was too hot, playing with them in the ocean at times. I received photos and an occasional video of them and could see how happy they were - to the point where I thought they might get depressed when he left! Fortunately, they didn't... Tom is just so calm with a lovely energy that the dogs obviously sense. Considering his prior experiences were mostly with cats I was surprised at how quickly he "clicked" with them and would highly recommend him as a sitter for any pet. If I could give him more than 5 stars in the pet care category I would! He did not complain when the internet was erratic and/or the electricity went off (for some reason, much more during the 2 months he was here than usually happens in the better part of a year!), but let me know so I could contact the neighbors and find out what was going on. As for the house and my possessions (I put those in the "tidiness" category) I have yet to have any sitter who has not left at least a few or sometimes many things either broken or damaged or even lost, not to mention dirty - even though they were clean when the sit started. The difference with Tom was that he good-naturedly came back (he stayed nearby at a new friend's house for a few days after the sit) and spent the better part of an afternoon cleaning most of the things that had been left dirty. And when I pointed out some damage to a wall he offered to pay to fix it (I did not accept, but very much appreciated the offer). Speaking of cleaning, I bought a brand new vacuum right before the previous sit started in order to make cleaning easier for the sitter. It was still in the box. When I returned it was lying on the living room floor covered in thick dust on the outside and filthy inside the drum where the filthy filters were; and the tube and attachment were completely clogged. I cleared out the tube, but gave up on the drum and filter after removing some of the dirt. I wasn't even sure it would work. Tom cleaned it all up and was able to use it! He also helped me upload a couple of photos onto my listing. He is so pleasant and considerate, asking about things he was in doubt about instead of just doing them and hoping he had made the right choice - unfortunately, I can't think of a specific instance right now and since I believe today is the last day to submit the review they will remain unsaid. In closing, I would like to publicly thank Tom for giving such loving care to Tigger and Shala. I highly recommend that you choose him as a sitter - your pets will thank you! :)

Theresa
We can't thank Theresa and Harvey enough for the opportunity to sit for Finn and Seamus and care for their beautiful home. It is located on 7 acres, making our morning walks easy and fun for the dogs. We also took them to a couple parks and they did great on the trails and in the car. Their home was in a perfect location to explore Saratoga Springs. We were fortunate the opening day of the racetrack was during our visit. Fun fun! Their immaculate home is a comfortable and inviting space to relax and unwind. We enjoyed using the gym and their beautiful patio deck. Harvey and Theresa were friendly and engaging and very prompt answering any questions we had. Finn and Seamus will steal your heart. They like nothing more than to hang out wherever you are and return all the love you give. If you have a chance to take this sit, do it! We would definitely return if in the area. Five stars!

Hilde and Chris were incredibly hospitable and welcoming! They went out of their way to pick us up, take us grocery shopping, and have dinner with us before they left for their trip. Both very cool people. Django is a well-behaved, energetic, and playful pup! The four cats are sweet and mostly want affection from afar. The home is very modern, comfortable, and clean. Le Vaud is a small village with stunning mountain and lake views! We got in lots of walking around the beautiful countryside with Django and his endless energy. We completely recommend this housesit, these pets, and these lovely humans! :)

What a lovely sit! Communication with Cat was smooth from the beginning and she thoroughly explained everything needed during the sit. 

Cat was kind enough to let my 3 friends and I to look after her pets and home for the weekend. We had a lovely time looking after the sheep, chickens and cats! The kitchen is very big so cooking dinners was easy and sociable. 

The house is beautiful and big so you’ll have everything you need for a short and long stay. 

The cats are so cute, Tygra is the cuddliest and loves to be pet. Waking up to let the chickens out and feed the sheep was really great. During our stay there was some snow so it was lovely to wake up to the crisp air and do something productive straight away! 

The home is a short walk from an amazing pub that overlooks the river where you can also see the famous house from Sex Education (Netflix). Definitely recommend ! 

I’d definitely recommend this sit to anyone who would like to have a relaxing break outside of the stress of city life. Thank you Cat 😊 🐈

My stay at Jessica's house taking care of Feta and Olive was excellent. The cats are adorable and calm. Her apartment is quiet and next to the subway leading directly to Frankfurt.
Jessica can be reached at any time.
