I have had many many pet sitters over the last few years and unfortunately this is the first time I feel the need to write a less than 5 star review. Evin has lots of good reviews and when we met her everything was fine and I felt happy to trust our cats and apartment with her. My biggest disappointment was that 3 days before the end of the sit she messaged saying she was leaving the next day as she had some ‘unexpected news’ and hoped we could ‘work around’ it. They are not plants. I expect a level of commitment for what you agreed to when you are trusted to stay and care for someone’s pets. When we came back the apartment was not as clean as we left it (I really make an effort to make sure everything is really clean for house sitters.) The litter trays were also completely full (more than a couple of days worth). Our bin in the kitchen, which is rather new, had 2 deep dents in the top which Evin didn’t tell us about. There were also some odd things, like it seems like my shoes had been used, as the laces were tied up and pulled tight, and I don’t take my shoes off with the laces done up. And my wardrobe was left ajar, and it was closed when I left. I was really surprised by our negative experience as Evin has lots of positive reviews. She had been travelling for a year and ours was the last sit before she was going back to the US. I can only assume she didn’t have the same commitment to what both sides agree to and expect during a house sit anymore.

Wayne and April were amazing - very forgiving of our slightly chaotic communications and super considerate, tidy and caring. They left the house spotless, they cared for our animals with enthusiasm and kindness and patience! Just lovely people, who I would highly recommend. Thanks to you both.

Humphrey had the best holiday at home with Lanell & Omar. Lots of walks & loving care. It was great to get an update & photos of their trips out. He was the most relaxed we’ve found him on our return. The house was spotless & all the plants & garden watered. Thank you so much for being such great house & Humphrey sitters! Hope to see you again!

Becky went above and beyond my expectations with resourceful solutions to ranch emergencies. Her pet care was also awesome and her dog & property photos were worth framing. I would totally recommend Becky !

Staying at Helen's with Bella (Milo was out of house) was like being at a short retreat. What a perfect home in what I think is the best part of London - and with the most affectionate kitty always by your side! Truly such a simple sit, Bella lets herself in and out and tells you when she's ready for more food if you haven't already put some out for her. Helen has a gorgeous garden that I spent my mornings reading in. Kind neighbors, sweet neighborhood -- hope to sit for Helen more in the future.
