Dog Sitters in Gardens

We couldn't be more pleased with the care Phil and Jo provided for our cats, Jill and Joy, while we were on vacation. We met them the day before we left, which allowed us to show them around the house and go over everything in detail. We had a great feeling about leaving our pets and home in their hands, and they absolutely lived up to our expectations. While we were away, Phil and Jo sent us pictures of the cats every other day, which reassured us that Jill and Joy were doing well. When we returned, the house was spotless, and our cats were clearly content and well-cared for. To top it off, a delicious lemon cake was waiting for us—a thoughtful touch that made coming home even sweeter. It's clear that Phil and Jo took the time to ensure everything was in perfect order, and we were especially happy to see how comfortable and happy Jill and Joy were. We highly recommend Phil and Jo to anyone looking for trustworthy and caring house and pet sitters. We would not hesitate to have them back again in the future!

We met Gaby and Chris the night before we left to go on holiday and found them both to be delightful, and were completely reassured that they would give our elderly dog good care. We received photos and messages giving us regular updates. On our return it was lovely to come home to a clean and tidy house. Our dog, Eddie, is very elderly and can be demanding at times but Gaby and Chris seem to have taken this in their stride. I would not hesitate to ask them again or to recommend them

I am so thankful I found Marguerite and Roy through this platform. They were exactly what I needed to feel at ease about leaving my slightly anxious pup while away for work. They took the time to stop in for a meet and greet before the sit, and that made all the difference as well. They kept me in the loop daily, with messages and cute little videos. I know Meg Ryan had a great stress-free time with them. My apt was just as I left it, and they went above and beyond to wash the sheets and towels, and made up my bed for me before they left. I can not wait to use them again, and hope we both have future dates that align to make that a reality!

Mark was an exceptional house sitter! He took great care of our home and looked after our dogs with love, all the updates were really apprecaited. Communication was easy, and we returned to a clean house and happy pets. Highly recommend!

Moira was a lovely house and pet sitter and we would be delighted for her to come again! Moira was really friendly and reliable, our cat Tiger seemed very happy, it was great to get regular updates. Thank you Moira for everything and we look forward to seeing you again soon!

Sharon spent the summer with my pets and plants. Everyone survived and things were in pretty good shape when I returned.

Communication with Landi before the sit was smooth and efficient. She asked some good clarifying questions beforehand which helped me to feel confident she would be a careful and diligent sitter, and everything was spotless and extremely tidy when I got home. My two cats were also beautifully calm and unstressed, which is unusual after I have been away and which signals they felt calm and comfortable under Landi's care. Thank you Landi!

Ryan & Julia were brilliant guardians Kind & Caring Perfect house guests Your pet will be lucky to have their care!

Christina and Greg took excellent care of Willow and our house whilst we were on holiday. Communication and organisation was absolutely flawless and they made sure to send us pictures of our much missed floofball. The house was extremely tidy when we came back. Thanks for looking after Willow 😘😘

I can't recommend Cathleen as a pet sitter after my recent experience. Things started well with good communication, and I felt prepared to leave my home and pets in Cathleen’s care due to our regular communication and video chat. However, there were some issues that came up during the sit. On the morning I left, I had to explain how to lock my self-locking front door, which made me a bit concerned about her comfort level with basic tasks. I also gave a detailed briefing on my pets’ care, including Sophie’s walking schedule and the importance of regularly emptying Teddy’s litter box to avoid any odors. His urine goes outside the pan at times. Cathleen seemed to understand this. I later found out that Sophie wasn’t walked according to the schedule I provided. After reviewing my outdoor camera footage, I noticed that during the last four days of the sit, Sophie was walked 2-3 hours late in the mornings, and some days her afternoon walk was skipped altogether. During the sit, Cathleen told me how my bedroom rug smelled like urine. There were also a few mix-ups with communication while I was away. For example, when I offered to have a friend drop by if she needed to leave early the day the sit ended, Cathleen misunderstood and thought I was telling her she had to stay, which led to a bit of an awkward conversation. I ended up having to clarify things over the phone, which wasn’t ideal while I was on vacation. Cathleen also didn’t wash the linens she used, despite my reminder before I left and the instructions in the welcome guide. When she asked about a change of linens, I reminded her there was an extra set by the bed, but she later mentioned she hadn’t used the top sheet or blanket and didn’t think she needed to wash them. It felt like there was a bit of a misunderstanding about expectations. 4 days after the sit ended, Cathleen sent me a series of messages and photos about the state of the litter box, accusing me of not having cleaned it for weeks. This was surprising, as four different sitters had been in my home before her, all of whom kept the box clean. I cleaned and washed the litter box the night Cathleen arrived. I tried to explain that this was covered in our initial chat. Cathleen continued to send me messages even though I asked her not to. I eventually had to block her number and reach out to zeewoi for help. Overall, this sit didn’t go as smoothly as I’d hoped. While Cathleen seemed pleasant at first, there were a few issues that made me feel uneasy about the experience.

Neo was really wonderful with my pets and I so appreciate that. Both my dog and my two cats really took to her and felt comfortable and safe with her. I appreciate all Neo's help when my house unexpectedly flooded in a rain storm. I also appreciate Neo's honesty and directness - it makes for much easier communication. I wish her all the best on her travels.

Caroline is a very friendly lady who cared and reported often on our dog Millie. She did an excellent job on looking after our home and garden. We would welcome Caroline and John again for a house sit if they decide to come to Australia again.
