Cat Sitters in North Port, FL

Pauline

This is the second time we've had Pauline house sit for us and she did a wonderful job again. She was organized and communicated effectively. She sent us pictures and updates throughout our trip. We would definitely have Pauline sit for us again in the future.

Cheryl

We can't say enough good things about Cheryl and Bob, both as dogsitters and lovely people. They took excellent care of Loco. He immediately took to them and it was clear that they are dog-lovers. We got lots of pix of them interacting with Loco - and Loco always had a smile on his face and a wagging tail. They are good communicators so we never had any concerns. They also kept and left our house in excellent condition. You can be assured your pet and your home will be in great shape when you return from your travels.

Tod

My husband and I were very satisfied with Tod and his housesitting for us during our 4 weeks absence. He was very reliable, uncomplicated and easy to communicate with. He took good care of our cat zora, our garden and the house. He even left us a little present before leaving. We definitely can recommend Tod as a sitter.

Gina

Gina is the house sitter you need! She sat for me and Mishka for three weeks and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is kind, reliable and thoughtful and she was very understanding about the road outside my house being resurfaced (noisily) while I was away She is superbly well organised, communication before and during the sit was brilliant. She sent great updates while I was away and I now have better photos of Mishka than I have ever managed to take. He looked supremely happy and relaxed in her company and he can be quite shy with new people - not with Gina though, she is a cat whisperer for sure I returned to a spotlessly clean house, washed sheets, milk in the fridge and lots of other really thoughtful touches. I felt completely confident that Mishka was in safe hands while I was away and I would be delighted if she ever wants to sit for me again. If she applies to sit for you you should definitely say yes!

Sasha

Sasha was by far the best pet sitter we have had. Took phenomenal care of our two cats while we were gone for 10 days. Left our place cleaner than it was when we left. She was even able to handle an ant infestation we had while we were gone, which was above and beyond. We came home to a completely clean house, clean laundry, and even some flowers and homemade jam. She was also incredibly sweet and affectionate with our cats, and I know she gave them the attention they needed while we were gone. Cannot recommend her highly enough!

Paul

Paul was a wonderful pet sitter. Our two Golden's had fun, were given attendtion and were happy having Paul stay with them. The house was clean and mail was neatly kept for us. I would highly recommend Paul to be your sitter.

Sanchia

Sanchia was loving and adoring. Took care of our doggies and our home. She was fantastic and friendly. We would love to have her stay again anytime!

Rene & Ashley

I felt peace of mind that my cat and dog were in great hands; I am so grateful and was able to really enjoy my time away.

Riya & Tipu

Riya and Tipu were amazing house and pet sitters!! They stayed in my home for almost two weeks, and they were so trustworthy and caring with my dog and home. The entire time, they communicated thoroughly with me, and sent me lots of great photos and videos of my dog, which I really appreciated! I came home to a clean and tidy house, and happy pup, and I’m so grateful to have had everything near and dear to me in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend Riya and Tipu to others looking for trusted and caring house and pet sitters - you both are welcome back anytime! 😊

Philippe

We were relaxed knowing Philippe was watching the house and cats while we were traveling several months. He sent pictures every day and kept us fully informed. We came home to happy kitties and a perfect home!

Maria

Maria was great. Well organized and communicative. She sent pictures of the cats every day.

Wayne & Deanna

Wayne and Deanna are a super pleasant, conscientious couple. Would love to have them sit for us again!

Tanya

Sharon and Brian are excellent home and pet sitters.  They came a night earlier to my hometown and stayed in a hotel so that they could come and meet Jack and Bella and get acquainted with our home and to ensure that they would arrive on time the next morning before my departure.  They went above and beyond when my car wouldn't start and helped boost it, so that I could get on my way!     

They had excellent communication from start to finish and sent pictures while I was away so I could see that my pups were snuggling with them and well cared for.  They took good care of my pups and of the house and left it very clean, having washed the sheets (even though I told them it wasn't necessary).  They are very kind, gentle souls and I would highly recommend them to sit any home or pet in the future!

Linda C

Sarah was a terrific sitter. Our 2 cats absolutely loved her. She sent many photos that showed them snugging up to her, obviously happy. She took really good care of our apartment. All of the plants were alive when we returned! 

Sarah came a day early, so we had a chance to get to know her, introduce her to some of our friends, show her around. She's is a really interesting and funny person. She's traveled widely and has lots of stories. We consider her a friend now. 

We absolutely recommend Sarah to any sitters in need. She's competent, capable, responsible and caring.
