This was the second time that Pranit looked after our dog and cat. Once again, we weren't disappointed! The two sets of dates were back-to-back with only a few days in between, which made it an easy transition for us, but more importantly, for our pets Charlie and Asterix. They had loved Pranit the first time around, so they were probably happy to see us leave again! During this sit, Pranit had to deal with a power outage due to strong winds. He let us know right away so we could provide a few instructions for what was best for the house and perishables. Pranit had already checked on the power company's website when it was expected to be back on, and indeed, it came back on overnight with no negative consequences... other than having forced Pranit to cancel a couple of work meetings. We felt so bad about this, but yet, he was kind enough to brush it off, having rescheduled his meetings. Communication with Pranit was excellent, both leading up and during the sit. Upon our return, we found the house spotless, the floors mopped, the bedding and linen washed, and very happy pets. Our dog, who sometimes develops bad habits in our absence, was very well behaved; it was obvious that Pranit followed our wishes to maintain Charlie's routine and commands. We would love to have Pranit sit again, not only for these aforementioned reasons, but also because we find him very kind, polite, courteous, tidy and reliable. Thank you, once again Pranit, for taking such good care of our home and pets! All the best in this new journey of pet sitting!

Aleisha took care of Tofi for a week while I was on vacation. She is very easy to communicate with, already while agreeing on the house sitting she offered an intro video call, she asked the right questions to understand the needs of my dog and throughout the sitting she kept me regularly updated. She also showed flexibility to stay a night longer as my flight was cancelled last minute. I returned home for a happy doggo and a tidy flat. I can recommend Aleisha for house/pet sitting!

Shawn and Jennifer were the perfect pet sitters! We could not have wished for better people to look after Salt and Pepa! Not only were they meticulous in keeping up the cat`s routines, nurturing S&P`s idiosyncracies, and keeping them clean, fed, and happy in general, but they went above and beyond finding out what else they could want or need in a truly empathetic way. Shawn and Jen taught them new tricks, played with them often, stayed in with them most of the time and observed them and their characters so well, that it seemed after only a few days like they have known - and loved! - the cats for some time. Before we knew these sympathetic brilliant sitters with heart, brains, and instinct we were nervous about leaving our not even 2 year old cats with strangers for more than a month, especially since Salt can be a fragile soul who is very shy and needs a lot of time to bond with people if she does it at all. Not with these two people. They know how to handle cats professionally. Instead of overwhelming them, Shawn is present and offers them attention and playtime. We were able to fully enjoy our time away from home since they were communicating extremely well and in the frequency we agreed on. So we got pictures or videos of S&P every day and reports. The reports as well as the pics showed us that S&P had an extremely good time, and that after only a few days they behaved completely "normal", i.e. we recognized "our" cats from the way that Jen described them and photographed them. Shawn and Jen are both extremely reliable, down-to-earth and self-sufficient. IF there would have been an emergency, we could not have asked for better guardians. The welfare of the cats was always their first concern. What more can we say but that they are also very friendly, humorous, calm and intelligent human beings. When we came home S&P were like: "Oh.. you..? Ok.. But were are the other two?" In our living room was a carefully arranged series of printed out photographs by Jen the excellent photographer.  We are so very thankful to Shawn and Jen that they agreed to look after our kitties - and our home, which they also did without fail - and we are truly happy to have made their acquaintance. Hopefully, we will meet again!

I asked Matthew to come back as he did such a great job caring for my pets and home the first time. Highly recommend him! Very attentive, responsible, thoughtful, clean and caring. My pets love him. He did very well managing my elderly fussy cat with special dietary needs.
