Pet Sitters in North Shore

Jane & Peter

I could not recommend Jane and Peter more. They were kind enough to come and meet me before the sit, which was very reassuring for me. They were very capable and dealt with one or two situations, which were my fault, with good grace and competence . The house was left clean and tidy, and the animals happy and chilled. Anyone would be very lucky if they could get them for a sit. Everything you want when you go away. I wish them very well with future travels.!

Rose

Rose was lovely and took great care of Oscar. She was easy to communicate with and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.

Roland

Roland and Jackie were the perfect house sitters. A great level of communication from the outset - not too much to be over bearing, but just right to give us the confidence that they would be here and would be the right people for our pets. I think this sounds like a triviality, but when you're new to the house sitting network it's the most important thing. You have all these worries going round your head "Will these people take care of our pets" "will they arrive".... Despite never meeting in person we were perfectly at ease having Roland an Jackie to stay before they even got here. Our house and our pets were in great hands and we returned to to very relaxed (but happy to see us) dogs and a lovely clean and tidy house. Even a defrosted freezer which is fantastic, but ever so embarrassing that we didn't manage to get round to doing that for Roland before they arrived :) Thanks ever so much for your time here and I hope you have many more enjoyable stays through this great network.

Hannah

Hannah and Will agreed to come sit with us for the long weekend and were absolutely lovely. Both very sensible and clean and tidy! Our recent cat addition Cheeky was a stray and very frightened of humans when he moved in and we were worried how he might cope with sitters but Hannah immediately clicked with him and sent photos of them cuddling! Will is from a farm background I think and both lots of experience with animals, very professional and kind couple.

Kim & Jonathan

Kim was great. She arrived the day before and connected really well throughout the sit. Kim was really helpful attending to a couple of items, much appreciated. Millie was really calm when we returned and our townhouse was clean and tidy. Absolutely recommend Kim.

Stephanie

We were so lucky to have Stephanie and Andy stay at our house and care for our pets for a long weekend. From the moment they arrived, they seemed like practical, calm and respectful people and we left our pets and home in their care without any worries. They gave us daily updates, including letting us know that our dog had been given his medication. Just watching them interact with and talk about our dogs during the handover was enough to allow us to leave our pets with them without any concern. They are clearly knowledgeable about animals and comfortable with large dogs. We returned home to a very clean home and pets - both very well looked after. Would not hesitate in the slightest to welcome them back or recommend them to others. Thank you Stephanie and Andy!

Caitlin

Couldn't have asked for a more reliable and trustworthy person to look after our home and beloved pets while we were away. Caitlin had great communication with us prior and during our trip, and we came home to a clean home and happy fur babies. Thank you again, Caitlin!

Jessica & Brook

Jess, Brook and little Remi were the perfect house sitters! 🏠 They looked after our boys as if they were their own, kept us in the loop throughout their stay and sent us lots of pictures! We would have them back in a heartbeat! Thanks so much guys & safe travels 🌍 x

Pablo & Melanie

Appreciated Pablo and Melanie coming to stay with my babies with just a few days notice. House was clean and tidy when I returned. Cats were happy and cared for. I would recommend them to anyone and would invite them back to pet sit for me.

Verena

Verena had great communication throughout her stay, lots of pics and video Pupdates! She was very friendly and reassuring. House was left in a clean and tidy manner, Verena also took care of watering the plants. Luna seemed to have thoroughly enjoyed her time with Verena as she was sad when she left! Thank you for your caring nature!

Carolyn & Mark Stephen

Perfect sitter would have then anytime😊😊

Rheanna

Rheanne is a very nice girl, that we would have loved to know better and spend some time with. There is no doubt that she loves dogs and she took really good care of our two dogs and they also liked her. We will give Rheanne our best recommendation and will be happy to have her as a sitter again.

Diane

We had the pleasure of looking after Diane’s beautifully restored home in the lovely French countryside with pretty walks around. The house, the nearby towns and villages are special and it was so nice to meet Diane – a truly lovely person. But best of all is Florette, the sweetest Border Collie you could hope to meet. She’s smart and communicative and very easy to look after and fall in love with!

Patrice

Seamus is such a sweet gentle boy and the most well mannered dog I've ever met. And also the smartest! He loves his walks and then he's really chill- usually napping. Patrice was wonderful with an easy system to check off his twice daily pill ( very small and easily given in peanut butter) and feedings.  The Villages have so much going on all the time no matter your interest. Music is also offered nightly in the four town squares. I would highly recommend this sit. I miss him already.

Jonathan

The best housesit that we could have wished for.

Jonathon and Kate are easy-going and fun, and gave us all the information we needed at just the right time. The house was immaculate when we arrived and it had everything we could have needed. They were clearly intent on us having a great sitter experience. Which we did :)

The dogs are now friends for life! Boots would jump up and sit on my lap every afternoon while I was working. And Tink might be the cutest thing ever. Easy to look after, and great fun playing with them in the beautiful back garden.

The location was ideal, easy to access but feeling like you're in the countryside. We left feeling fully rested, and would be more than happy to go back. Recommended.

karen and Peter

Spent a lovely 24 hours with Bunji and Tjindu, the cutest dogs. Karen and Peter were great in communicating throughout the process and were able to meet me prior to departing to run through everything. Very welcoming and a great experience all round!
