Pet Sitters in Polegate

Andrew & Kaari

Fabulous. Inkie and Stripes were clearly so well cared for. I’m certain Inkie was sad to see Kaari and Andrew leave. She had worked her Labrador charm on them! Clear and concise communication from the start our house and garden were spotlessly clean and tidy. I really hope that we get to see these genuinely lovely people again. I wouldn’t hesitate at asking them to care for your pets and home.

Elizabeth & David

Liz and Dave were just the most wonderful of house and cat sitters, I cannot say enough good things about them. They took such great care of both Basil and Frida (my two cats), I knew immediately when I returned that Basil and Frida had been super relaxed and comfortable, I'm not sure they missed me at all! Liz and Dave sent me regular updates and photos which was great, and meant I could relax while away, knowing they were in such safe hands. My house and garden couldn't have been in better hands - it was immaculate on my return, and the bedding had been washed, and my bed made for me! Dave had cut the grass, and it has never looked better! He even tackled some of my huge hedges, and cut them back, I'm still wondering where he got rid of all the debris as the garden is so tidy! - the list goes on, the bird box was fixed, the outdoor catio wire was sorted, weeding was done. They were the most dependable, trustworthy cat sitters, I would have Liz and Dave back in a heartbeat anytime. It wasn't just the gorgeous dinner, plus homemade jam they left for me, they were the most lovely people, from the word go meeting Liz before I headed off, I knew I could leave my house and pets in the best of hands, and I was right. I am probably forgetting some superlatives here, but I cannot recommend them highly enough, and thank them for the great care and effort they freely gave to minding my beautiful fur kids and my home.

Carmen

Carmen was a fantastic sitter, and we always felt our little Nala was safe and secure with her. We had constant communication throughout and enjoyed meeting Carmen the day we left. Would recommend highly.

David

5* all round, David and Anna have sat for us 3 times now and are always so lovely, friendly, reliable and trust worthy. Energetic and attentive to the dogs they absolutely love them, I think more than us now! They communicate well and everything is kept neat and tidy and they are super respectful and helpful with all aspects to our property, we would be happy to have them here anytime again and i hope to see them again soon.

Elle

I can't recommend Elle and Leo highly enough! They sat for us for 3 weeks in August 2023 and were a joy to deal with from the first communication with them to the last. They were happy to meet me a for a few hours before the housesit so I could show them around and introduce them to our pet. They had an immediate rapport with both us and our little dog, who is usually a bit nervous but was not one bit with them. They communicated well with us over the duration of the sit, sending us welcome updates and photos. On our return our house was tidy and completely as we left it (they even mowed our lawn!) - with the addition of a beautiful plant that they had bought for us! It was clear that our dog had been well cared for and loved and she was obviously very at ease with Elle and Leo. I do not hesitate in recommending them as zeewoi and I only hope they're available for our next sit!

Carly

Carly was absolutely amazing when looking after Henry - we loved the regular updates, and felt like he was in really great hands while we were gone. We would definitely welcome Carly back anytime Also — the house was spotless when we returned!

Carla & Gabriel

Carla and Gabriel were the perfect sitters. I was lucky enough to spend an evening with them before I went away and their kindness and love of animals was obvious from the beginning. They took wonderful care of my two girls (cats) who bonded with them straight away. Minnie even went straight up to Gabriel and demanded cuddles, which is unheard of, as she is normally very timid! As well as taking great care of the kitties, they left the house beautifully clean and tidy and Carla also made lunch for me when I returned from my travels so I had one less thing to think about. She's also a very talented photographer and took some wonderful pictures of the cats. Anyone who is lucky enough to book Carla and Gabriel for a sit will be delighted with them, I'm sure. I hope to see them again as they are truly lovely people. Highly recommended, I can't give them enough stars!

Peter

Perfect sitters. Debbie, Pete and their dog Benson were a brilliant combination to look after our dig Captain and our chickens. Captain clearly enjoyed his long walks, doggie companion, and gentke caring nature of Pete and Debbie. Our house was amazingly clean when we arrived home. We honestly couldn't have asked for better sitters. THANKYOU

Kevin & Linda

Kevin and Linda have sat for us before so that indicates how much we trust them with our pet and home. Loki went crazy when they arrived, so thrilled to see them, so that spoke volumes. When we returned Loki was soft and fluffy as they had groomed him and our house was immaculately clean and tidy. Would highly recommend Kevin & Linda to sit for your pet and home.

Tamira & Sam

Tam and Sam have just completed a week's sit for us whilst we were on a family holiday. Communication before and during the sit was excellent - they arrived at a time to suit us (even though it meant a very early start for them!)and sent us regular updates during the week, including photos of our two dogs. The house was spotless when we got back, and it was clear that the dogs had been very well looked after. We would have no hesitation in recommending this lovely young couple to house sit for you, and we wish them the very best for their travels

Megan

This is our second time of having Megan and Scott to sit for us - and yet again, were a complete delight. Totally trustworthy and inspire confidence that both property and dogs, are being well cared for.

David & Lucie

Lucie and David were perfect sitters who sent updates about our whippet, walked her for miles each day, kept the house immaculate and were super friendly and relaxed. Highly recommended!

Kat

Nero was an absolutely incredible house sitter!  From the very beginning he was kind, communicative, respectful thorough, and flexible.  He was extremely communicative about travel plans, arrival status and updates throughout the weekend.  He even took both dogs out of the house on a HIKE -- they had an amazing time.  Nero left the home and the boys in outstanding condition, make sure things were clean, well-kept and ready for our arrival.  Highly recommend selecting Nero & his gf McKenna for your next housesit!

Priya

Priya and Ziggy are a joy to know, and this sit was lovely.

Linda

Herman is strong, energetic, and cozy. He loves his walks and backyard as well as being cozy on the couch. The backyard is an oasis and provided fresh tomatoes and cucumbers during my stay. Linda showed me exactly how to care for the plants and new trees so I was comfortable with this task. I did not have a car and was able to get around easily on the bus and BART. I am familiar with Oakland so I understand the difference a few blocks can make. I thoroughly enjoyed my sit with Linda's sweet dog in her very comfortable eco-friendly and green home.

Anita

Annie was such a wonderful host - most welcoming and warm. The home was beautiful and countryside picturesque. All of the animals were amazing with very distinct personalities. Teddy was very cuddly & constantly stayed by my side - his girlfriend also came over & stayed for a couple of nights too. The other 3 dogs stayed outside during the day but were uber playful & affectionate. The cats were a dream - Beau only ventured in at night but Missy loved to snuggle on the couch & share a bed. I highly recommend Annie and the animals they are all delightful

Lynsey

What a joy to petsit for Lynsey and Alex! We had a lovely stay at their flat. Communication and planning was very easy and smooth from the first day. Clear and concise instructions about Jazz and the flat. We felt really welcomed! 
I came with my co-worker, we mostly work from home and cuddle jazz. She's a lovely cat, easy to take care off, and fund of cuddle after 24h adjustment 😊

Fran

We stayed with Flora Milou and Pancha for about three weeks and had a fantastic time. The pets are very sweet and easy to care for and the area is lovely for walks and sightseeing. Fran and Julia made us very welcome and provided lots of information, were quick to respond and great people to know. The house has a lot of character, is comfy and has a fab garden, especially when the sun is out. We'd love to return and whole heartedly recommend this house and pet sit!

Sarah

Sitting for Sarah in her cozy home was great. Her little rescue pup Annabelle was a little shy and stressed at first, but within hours she'd relaxed and enjoyed cuddles and belly rubs. Sarah's home is in a great part of Vancouver, with easy access to the highway, shops and restaurants, and her home had a super comfy bed and an amazing "spa" experience bathroom with a relaxing tub, perfect for cold and rainy Portland days. The bunnies and chickens were fun to look in on (and very easy), and Coquille the turtle is just cool, he will pop up to say hello and collect his food, but then just hangs out on his own all day. I would definitely recommend Sarah's home and pups, and would love to housesit for her again!
