Dog Sitters in Mount Barker

Emma & Reuben

We came home from holiday to find 3 very happy, healthy dogs, a lovely clean home and smiling house-sitters. Emma and Reuben were quick to get to know, understand and continue the dogs' routine and took on the unexpected burden of medicating one of the dogs following a recent operation, in their stride. They immersed themselves in the area, met our friends and visited local attractions - with and without the dogs. We were kept in touch whilst away and felt confident that the dogs and our home was in safe hands. We therefore highly recommend Emma and Reuben as house-sitters and would have them back again in a flash.

Facundo & Manuela

Facu and Manu were superb sitters, we would like to give them six stars! They are a kind, earnest and sensible young couple who will do their very best to look after your home and pets. We were able to meet them in person prior to our 2-month holiday, and we were completely confident to have them looking after our home and dog (shared between them and a neighbour). All our instructions were noted and actioned. They communicated regularly via email regarding our postal mail and general updates. They sent us some delightful photos of our pet. As a final bonus for us, they left us several homemade Argentinian treats! Finally, they left the house spotless (even better than when we left it!) If you have the chance to have Manu and Facu sit for you, grab them.

Toni

We were able to spend a couple of hours with Toni & Shaun before we left and were impressed, very friendly but obviously responsible as well. During our trip we received regular updates on the animals and on our return found the house very clean and tidy, plants watered and the animals in good spirits. Overall excellent sitters and we would recommend them to others.

Edith

Edith was the perfect house sitter. She arrived with plenty of time for us to meet and chat in person, and sent me updates for how Oscar was going while I was away. My house was clean and neat, and my plants alive and healthy when I got home. Importantly, Oscar was happy and well looked after (he is a nervous cat), and from videos Edith sent, looked really comfortable with Edith. I think that Edith went beyond what I expected a housesitter to do. I would recommend Edith to anyone who needs someone to look after their place and their pet!

Delia

We had the pleasure of having Delia and Michael looking after our furry kids and house . They saved us at the last minute as we had a couple booked in and they pulled out and then Delia and Michael send us a message even the timing was very tight . We manage to do a Skype session and to see if we would be a match and they were so lovely. You know that they have done this before they had all their questions ready for any situation. We ask if they could come over the night before which they agreed and so no stress on us the next day . We received videos and photos regularly and they also phoned us to get permission to let councils worker on our property. I highly recommended them to anyone and hopefully they will get back to look after our fur babies. They made it so easy for us and non stressful as well as we knew straight away that they were animals lovers. 6 stars out of 5 Bear and George the four legged furry kids Miss you

Alice

Alice & Sam are a very easy going couple who looked after Ember for us for a fortnight. All went well & they did a decent job with no issues.

Kate

Kate was an amazing sitter! Both in terms of looking after Jude and my house. She sent me loads of updates and lots of pictures, and kept an eye on a couple of health concerns I had for my puppy! She spent lots of time with Jude and took him on loads of walks. She also cleaned and tidied ahead of her departure. Can’t recommend her highly enough!

Neil & Fiona

I cannot recommend Neil and Fiona enough, so if they apply for a sit then please don’t hesitate to accept their application! Neil kept in touch from the moment I accepted their application and we liaised a lot prior to the sit so we all knew each other’s plans and I felt completely comfortable with our plans. We were able to spend time together on the day of their arrival, prior to when we left for our holiday. We got on really well and so I was more that delighted, and relaxed, to leave my home and my precious girl in their care. During the sit Neil and Fiona kept in touch and it was lovely to receive news from home with lovely photos of Sophie Louise and to hear a little of their adventures of where they’d visited during their stay. That meant a lot! We returned to an immaculate home and a happy and contented Sophie Louise. There were a few special touches which were lovely and after the nightmare journey home, meant so much! Thank you Neil and Fiona. I would welcome you back any time you’re next in the UK. I 100% recommend you to anyone who receives your application for a sit, without hesitation.

Josh

We were so pleased to have chosen Josh & Jess to house sit for us.They are a truly lovely young couple.They took great care of our home and really bonded with our dog Jasper and Minxie the cat.John and I wouldn't hesitate to have them sit for us again.

Hannah

Hannah was excellent with my boy Jimmy, did everything that I asked for in taking care of my Jimmy & Jimmy absolutely love Hannah because when I arrived home Jimmy was actually looking for Hannah in the bedroom where they slept... Hannah kept me updated with my Jimmy on a daily basis & Hannah kept my home tidy & made sure everything was in order for myself to get home.. so I would truly recommend Hannah to look after any pet whilst people are travelling.. 😘 Jimmy my boy would like to say a huge thank you to Hannah for keeping me fed, water & cuddles.. 😻

Cameron

Cameron was brilliant. He looked after Raggy very well and our house was in immaculate condition when we returned! We would recommend Cameron to anyone!

Clair

Amber was terrific. The house was cleaner than when we left, Lily obviously loved her and Aziz and she was good at texting. I would highly recommend as a pet and house sitter.

Hester

Sarah was the first time we’ve tried having a housesitter and it was an outstanding experience. The convenience of having one person to look after the house, each animal (no more flustered trips to the cattery and kennel the day before we go away), and to generally have a bit of home back up is amazing. Great for security and a million times nicer for the pets to stay in their home. 
BUT it’s not just the convenience that was so positive - we were so lucky in having such a brilliant housesitter in Sarah. She is outstanding with animals including giving daily injections to our cat, finding great new walks for the dog - and she even gave us a tip on wetting the dogs food to get a bit more hydration into her which we now do all the time. 
We had a really nice time getting to know her a bit before we went and knew everything was in safe and highly competent hands. She sent us helpful and entertaining reports about what the animals were up to, and she was completely accommodating when we wanted to send builders/gardeners in, even liaising with them directly to save us the trouble.
We could not have asked for better support while we were away.
Highly recommend the house sitting experience, and even more highly recommend Sarah! Thanks so much Sarah with love from the Liakos Family xxx

Lisa

Genevieve was great!  She took excellent care of our home and our cat, sent us lots of photos and kept our place in great shape.  We would love to have her back.
