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!

We recently had Pascale stay at our home for four nights to take care of our pup, Denali. From the outset, Pascale was kind and it was evident that she genuinely cares for animals, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. However, there were a few challenges during her stay that prevent us from giving a full five-star rating. Firstly, we had some communication issues before the start of her stay regarding arrival and departure times. Despite originally saying she could take Denali out before heading to evening events on her arrival day, she later told us that she could no longer do so at the last minute. Pascale also informed us of a departure change right before we left, which left us scrambling to make alternative arrangements on short notice. Second, she lost our house keys during her time with us, necessitating getting her access to another set (fortunately, the lost set got turned into our super). Third, there was an instance where Denali was left alone for over 10 hours, despite a previous explicit discussion about the appropriate length of time away from Denali, where we had indicated 8 hours was the limit to ensure no accidents. While Pascale’s kindness and love for Denali are commendable, these issues highlighted some areas where communication and reliability could be improved. We appreciate her efforts and care for our dog, but future pet owners might want to discuss these aspects to ensure a smooth experience for everyone involved.

Eva was a simply amazing sitter and left the house absolutely spotless. Scout bonded with her immediately and she was very aware of his separation anxiety and took him with her, whenever she good, which I’m really grateful for. Sergey was also lovely. Just fabulous sitters, thank you!

Brilliant Housesitters, with the added reassurance of having a vet looking after the animals.
