Jack has been an absolute dream as a (repeat) housesitter, this time taking care of our home for about ten days. From the moment we left, we knew everything was in the best possible hands. Jack was incredibly attentive to all the needs of our home, plants, and animals, and his dedication showed in every detail. One of the standout things this time around was how well he took care of our garden. We had recently planted a few new things, including a pumpkin patch, and Jack watered everything with such care. It’s clear he has a green thumb, as everything was thriving when we got back. Jack kept the garden in great shape—especially our nascent pumpkin patch. It's not easy keeping up with new plantings, but Jack did an incredible job. He was also flexible when our travel plans were disrupted. When our flights got delayed and rescheduled, Jack didn’t hesitate to adjust to our return schedule. He graciously extended his stay, ensuring that everything at home continued running smoothly until we got back. His flexibility was such a relief during a stressful time, and we’re so grateful for that. On top of all that, the house was immaculate when we returned. Jack left everything in perfect condition, even better than we left it! He went above and beyond, leaving us a thoughtful gift of pumpkin spice coffee, which was such a warm welcome home. Our chickens grew a lot under his care, and both Ollie, our dog, and Belle, our cat, absolutely adore him. They were happy and content when we got home, which speaks volumes about the love and attention Jack gives them. It's clear that Ollie and Belle feel safe and comfortable with him. Jack's regular check-ins were great, giving us peace of mind, but he’s also incredibly self-sufficient, which meant we could truly relax while we were away. We honestly couldn’t ask for a better housesitter, and we feel so lucky to have Jack looking after everything when we're away. We’ll absolutely be having him back and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and thoughtful housesitter.

My 9-day trip overseas was going to be the longest I had ever been away from my cat Lenny since I foster failed and adopted him 4 years ago. Lenny has a medical condition that can be aggravated by stress, and I was worried that my going away for this length of time could stress him out. So I wanted to make sure he was cared for my someone who prioritized him and wanted him to be comfortable. Jessica was the first sitter who applied after I posted the sit, and after some correspondence we had a video chat, with left me with a very good feeling about her. Many other sitters applied and I was in contact with several of them, but for a variety of reasons, Jessica felt like the best choice. I am so glad I chose her! She communicated with me regularly, in the way that I requested, with messages and photos so that I always knew how Lenny was doing. Part way through my trip we had a video call so I could check in with her and see Lenny live. It was very clear from the start that Lenny really liked and trusted Jessica and that he was getting a lot of love and attention. This gave me great peace of mind. I came back to a very neat and tidy home, left as I requested. And while Lenny was happy to see me, I knew that he was not ignored while I was away. I feel so fortunate that Jessica was my catsitter. She was reliable, communicative and organized and I will use her again whenever possible!

Summer made sure to check in with us daily and when she had questions she didn’t hesitate to ask. We had a great, easy trip knowing our pets were in great hands.

Noah
Noah and Kelsey were so welcoming and generous with their home! The pups were amazing as well. Cheddar is only 6 months old so she's still a bit frisky and got into some trouble, but entirely expected as she's a pup. Bernie is an amazing cuddles and slept with me every night. They are super easy to take care of pups and we had a lovely time in cozy Jeffersonville.

Albert
We had a wonderful stay at Albert and Rose’s house! Marley is an absolutely gorgeous cat - extremely soft, beautiful and sooo friendly from the word “go”! She slept the first night on the bed I was in but was so quiet I hardly knew she was there. As others have said, she is independent and easy to look after, enjoying a lot of sleeping and cuddles!

Albert and Rose’s house is lovely, comfortable, clean and well organised. We had two sunny breakfasts in the garden which was a great start to the day! The area is very quiet and peaceful. 

Rose and Albert were wonderful hosts: friendly, flexible, communicative and clear. We would definitely recommend any cat lovers to sit for Marley.

We had a great timing watching Blue! Such a cute cat who really warmed up to us by the end. We enjoyed their beautiful home and getting to know Nicole, Mark and the kids! We’d love to stay again 😊

Meadow
Meadow was exceptionally kind and easy to communicate and work with. A really good experience overall. The house was clean and the pups all three are balls of love and very well behaved. For big dogs this was a really easy sit. Bodhi is a big dog yes, but listens to commands and is very manageable, especially once walked.

Scout and Blaze were amazing to sit. They are active and well behaved pets. We fell in love with them immediately!  The home is cozy and in a great location for walks and just a short drive to shopping. I loved the 1950’s style kitchen and bathroom. Would definitely recommend to other sitters! Thanks for such an enjoyable stay!
