Courtney

This is my final official review for Courtney and Adam. What can I say, they are like family now! Thanks again guys xo Danica, Ceilidh, Finlay and Hans

Pamela

An amazing pet sitter. Always attentive to our pup. Keeps our house better than she found it. Highest recommendation. Our pup loves her.

Janet Lynn & Brian Hugh

Welcome back any time!

Cara

Cara was perfect for our 15 yo Golden Doodle, Cooper, and couldn’t have been more organized and thorough in her care. We feel so fortunate to have had her professional insights on a dog’s last stages. Cara made an extra effort to accommodate a change in our return travel plans, and made sure Cooper was taken care of. Cara and Mateo were a delight to spend time with before our departure and we truly hope we see them again.

Renee

Renee was amazing! I have nothing but positive things to say about her. She absolutely took perfect care of our dogs! She brought her fun dog Remi and watched my three dogs. I’m sure it was crazy for her but she handled it like a pro! She left my house very tidy! Sent us tons of pictures! I would highly recommend her! Thank you Renee we will absolutely have you again!!

Alejandra & Dylan

Our pups miss Alejandra & Dylan they were cuddled, walked & loved on our time away. They are welcome back any time they are in the area so we can take off in the future. So happy they were our first sit on this app & it was a 💯 thanks for all the texted updates & photos too. Safe travels on your journey.

Akanke

Akanke sat for our dog and cat for a week and was terrific. She was proactive with communication and great with the animals, and left our house spotless. I'd recommend her to anyone with need for pet care needs and hope to have her sit for us again in the future!

Lynne & Roger

Lynne and Roger were absolutely fantastic sitters. Lynne’s communication prior to and during the sit was excellent. She looked after Luna and the house so well, and never complained despite a week of torrential rain in the area which must have made it challenging. We came back to a very happy dog and an immaculate house. I would highly recommend Lynne and Roger to anyone, there were great and we hope they will come back!

Opal

Opal looked after my dog Pico and my home while I was traveling. I returned home to a happy dog and a clean apartment, she even had some fresh flowers waiting on the counter for me! Opal was very communicative and self sufficient when I was away, I felt comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands and was able to relax and enjoy my time. She sent me pictures and made sure Pico was taken care of before she left, she even did all the laundry and had clearly cleaned up. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her back anytime :)

Melissa & John

Melissa and John did a wonderful job for us while we were away. Melissa communicated regularly with respect to our dogs. They left the house clean and tidy. Very importantly, they handled a crisis - Long story short: apparently our older dog had ingested part of a stuffy toy in the week before we left town. Timing is everything . . . Several days into our trip (6000 miles away!), she became ill. Through Melissa's diligence and attention, she saved our dog's life: calling us, getting her into the vet, and then both she and John dealing with all the aftercare of the emergency surgery. Clearly not something anyone was expecting to have to do. We would certainly recommend them as Housesitters.

Collette

We fell in love with Collette -- our dog took right to her as if he'd known and loved her forever! We couldn't have asked for a better sitter. She took care of the house and garden during a terrible heat spell, and kept in contact with us with updates and delightful photos. Our dog seemed to have lightly sprained a leg a few days before we left, and she kept a good eye on it, keeping him on a leash as necessary until the the leg was better. She even talked to the vet for us. All he needed was to be kept quiet for while. I highly recommend Collette!

Nicole

Nikki is a delightful lady who clearly loves dogs. She developed a good relationship with Ricky, my Jack Russell & was very diligent in exercising him. My home was beautifully clean & tidy when I returned. I would have no hesitation in recommending Nikki .

Kaitlyn

Liza was the most ideal sitter! Even after our plans shifted, she was communicative and on it. We came home to a spotless apartment and a very happy pup! Would definitely recommend and hope to host her again!

Gemma

This was a great house sit. The animals were lovely, communication with Lisa and Gemma was clear and concise so everything ran very smoothly. And the house is very comfortable and in a great location, easy access to shops.  Would highly recommend.

Catherine

It was a pleasure to house sit for Kate and Ben and look after Damsel Olive and the chickens. Ben and Kate were very welcoming and super sorted for house sitting duties which made it all straightforward as this was my first sit and a very happy experience it was. The house was very comfortable and local walks were lovely Thank you

Lucy

We had a really wonderful weekend looking after Luna and Floppy. Luna is absolutely gorgeous and was really easy to care for. We enjoyed lots of walks in the beautiful countryside nearby with her. Lucy and Tom were really welcoming and their house is warm and comfortable with the most amazing views. 
Thank you Lucy and Tom, we would love to sit for you again. 
Amanda and Mark

Sarah

So grateful to Sarah for making my time with Shaga so comfortable and easy! Shaga is just the absolute sweetest dog: so calm and affectionate, she’ll be your chill little shadow around the house. Sarah’s home is so cozy and lovely and located close to the river and restaurant gems of East Putney - some are welcoming of pups so Shaga could join me 😊

Overall a wonderful stay, would return without a second thought!

Felicity

Richard

I spent a lovely four days at Richard’s place with the adorable pacha. She’s such a fun and playful dog and very easy to take care of. Richard’s place is super nice, comfortable and spacious with all the amenities you need. There’s also a very nice pool and gym in the apartment complex. Richard was a very welcoming and easygoing host. I would definitely love to come back and sit again!
