Being a first time user on Housesitter website we would consider ourselves very lucky to have found these this lovely couple to take care of our fur baby. Maite and Nicholas were absolutely fabulous from the first point of contact with a meet and greet untill the final handover on our arrival. They are a Friendly, reliable, trustworthy and responsible couple. They were very thorough of all the questions they asked and carefully read our sitter guide at the first meeting which made us feel so comfortable leaving both our home and dog in their care. Maite and Nicholas proactively kept us updated with lovely pics and videos throughout our holiday which put us completely at ease and not left wondering if everything was ok back home. Our house was cared for like their own and maintained super clean throughout and found as is upon return. laundry of linen was done and neatly stacked, plants watered and all tasks done. They left us a lovely present as well. Most importantly they made our dog feel so loved and cared. He was super pampered, taken on regular walks, lots of hugs everyday. His routine was followed as per the sitter’s guide instructions. Our dog misses them for sure. A big Thanks to Maite and Nicholas. They are a dream for anyone considering house sitting. We would love to have them sit our home and pet again without second thoughts. Highly recommended !

To say that we were nervous about our first time leaving our fur babies for more than a couple of days, and letting complete strangers stay in our home to look after them for 3 weeks… is a gross understatement. To the point where we had a heap of consistently great applications for over 6 months, but couldn’t even commit to having a conversation with any one of them. I finally took the plunge and contacted Crystal & Zachary after they applied, as it was getting very close to our holiday and I still hadn’t chosen anyone. After having Crystal & Zachary house sit for us, I am so incredibly happy that I said no to every one else. Crystal & Zachary were amazing. From our initial contact, to a face time, to having a meet & greet a few weeks before we left and then to them staying… they were fantastic. They were understanding of our concerns and fears, so they sent us photos and updates every single day of our trip. They kept us notified of every thing that was happening around the house. They took our dog Arlie on multiple walks a day and didn’t leave her alone the entire time… which was something we were really worried about. They let Arlie and our two cats Tig & Fifi, sleep with them in their bed every night. They let my parents visit on multiple occasions. They bought our fur babies a bunch of toys and even gave Arlie a bath. They kept our home clean and tidy… according to my mother, which is a massive compliment coming from her! And on top of it all, we came home after a 17 hour flight, to freshly baked banana bread to welcome us back home. Most importantly, we felt extremely confident that our fur babies were happy, comfortable and safe with Crystal & Zachary whilst we were away. We couldn’t recommend Crystal & Zachary enough to look after your precious pets and home. We’re sad that they’ll be going back home to the US soon and we won’t be able to have them stay for our next holiday!

Jeannie and her kids did a great job looking after our husky dog. We felt at all times that he is in good hands and is having a good time. I think he was very sad when they were leaving the house - he definitely got attached to them. They took him for lots of fun walks and followed his feeding and treats schedule as we’ve asked. It was also very nice that Jeannie sent us lots of photos of Kalashka whilst we were away. Thank you very much for taking such good care of him, and for leaving the house tidy afterwards :)

Lis was a great host.  She was very understanding of my challenges and very appreciative of my stay with Ramon, the lovely cat.

Vanessa
Vanessa's property is super peaceful, well-equipped, and cozy. I had a great time looking after SoftPaws, Grumpus and all the chickens! There are lots of great parks nearby and plenty of waterfalls and beautiful nature to explore in the area. Vanessa is super welcoming and provided detailed, easy to follow instructions.

Dog sitting Pixie & Molly for little over a week was an absolute pleasure. They're both super easy going and are very affectionate. On top of that, Molly & Pixie both have a unique and sweet personality that are complimentary to each other. Especially the way they welcome you home - whether it is because you were away for 10m to grab laundry or a couple of hours - is absolutely priceless. The sheer amount of energy and genuine excitement that is released from them is very heartwarming. 

As for Hanli & Johnny, they made sure I felt right at home in their house and were always reachable in case there was an issue or doubt. Hanli left me with a set of very clear instructions that by the end of the first day I had already internalized. 

If you get a chance to dog-sit for Pixie & Molly, consider yourself very lucky!

Carole and Mark
We had an amazing time, what a slice of paradise! Surrounded by forest, with deer walking around, and the Washougal river at your doorstep. Carol and Mark were such gracious and generous hosts, and the two cats were such cuddle bugs! Especially Zeta - she’s all soft purrs. Zorro is a bit of a roamer, he had me quite worried sometimes, being out most of the night. Neither of them had the slightest bit of reservations with us strangers, they love to snuggle. The area is full of amazing things to discover, but we were equally happy just hanging out right at the cabin enjoying the nearby swimming hole. Definitely recommend this sit!

Ella was a lovely cat to sit for.  I didn't meet George,  but we talked before and he left clear information and instructions which was great.  
Ella really doesn't like being left, and it was helpful feeling prepared for what to look out for and how to help her.
