Pet Sitters in Sandyford

Cormac

We had great communication prior to the visit, and throughout our holiday, updating us on how our animals were doing. Our 2 year old bernise mountain dog who weighs 64kg was especially taken with Liaden, Cormac and Aideens two and a half year old. All the animals were well cared for and regularly cleaned. Thank you for cooking on our return it was very much appreciated.

Clodagh

Clodagh did a wonderful job looking after our cat Susie! This was our first time having a sitter for Susie, who we just recently adopted, and so we were quite anxious about how it would go. Needless to say - Clodagh knew our worries and made sure to keep us updated, be gentle with introduction and overall give Susie a 5/5 treatment. We came home to a tidy house and a very happy cat! Can only recommend Clodagh and hope she can come back to ours sometime!

Laura

This was great Laura and Jason cared for the dogs as if I was home , the house was beautifully clean and tidy on my return . It was organised fairly last minute and worked out really well. Thank you do much and I’d invite you again for sure

Reese & Andrew

It was an absolute pleasure to have Reese stay in our home and look after our two cats. Having never left them before we were a little worried how they would react, Reese kept us well informed and they settled in with her immediately. We honestly could not have imagined to have anyone as amazing as Resse for our sit. She is so friendly and easy to get along with, we could not recommend her highly enough. We came back to a pristine home, even cleaner than we left it! Thank you so much Reese, we’re so grateful to have had you stay!

Claire

I can highly recommend Claire. Jennie my cat quickly warmed up to her, she provided much appreciated updates and was very clean, tidy and reliable. Thank you Claire!

Megan

Megan and Alex stayed at our house for 4 days last week. I unfortunately didn’t get to meet them in person but my husband did. They were extremely friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to accommodate us and came to stay the night before my husband left and also at very short notice stayed for an extra day. I received regular messages and updates from Megan and Alex with photos of our 2 dogs and 2 bunnies. Megan also was amazing in the garden pruning our plants and we came back to an incredibly tidy house. She was so kind and organised all my cupboards for me which I really was not expecting but delighted to find. They are a great couple who took great care of our pets which I’m very grateful for. I highly recommend them and really hope they will come back again soon. Thank you both so much Megan and Alex from us all xx

Julian Davi

Quiet, reliable and very tidy, and as for the pet care: Kofi adored them and was relaxed and happy when we arrived home. This couple was the quietest of our sitters with minimalistic but extremely reliable communications. Quiet was partly probably a result of them not being fully confident in speaking English although I had no trouble understanding them at all, and everything I asked to be done was done as asked so they understood English well too. I have detailed schedules and task lists for our sitters and Julian and Osvaldo understood everything on the instructions. I would, without reservations, recommend Julian and Osvaldo! You will find your home cleaner than you left it and more importantly, your pet will enjoy their gentle, loving care.🌷

Scott & Michelle

Scott and Michelle were amazing sitters. They were so kind and considerate in every way and I honestly think Luna was a bit depressed when they left! I loved that Scott was willing to meet in advance of the sit so we could see if he was a good fit for Luna. They were also great at communicating in advance of the sit. And when we were due to fly home Scott made sure that we had landed before they left our house to return to their own. Lastly, we came home to a very clean and tidy house, bedlinen already washed and Michelle had baked a lovely cake to welcome us home - what more could you ask for in a House Sitter?!! Thanks guys we hope we are lucky enough to have you here again :)

Veronique

Véronique was amazing with our 6 kitties. 😍😍😍 They loved her. She gave them a ton of petting time. Even our "special" boy Heime was looking for her attention, which is not a normal thing. Our Missie slept with her. She was the same parent as we are, and our cats did not notice any difference. No stress for them. They were as happy as normal when we came back. She was super patient with my "Mom stressed to leave her babies for a while" attitude. 😅 We found a good way to help me relax. She sent me videos in the morning and a global update in the evening. It was perfect, and I could truly enjoy our vacation. Véronique was totally autonomous right from the beginning. She took good care of our house as well. She got along with our neighbors. She also has an adorable personality. I have met a fantastic woman, full of life, courageous, and inspiring. A truly good person. This was my 1st experience with a house sitter. Thanks to Véronique, for sure, I will do it again. I can only recommend Véronique 10000%. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Lucinda

Had the best possible experience with Lucinda and Callum. They took very good care of our animals and home and even took the extra responsibility of treating our animals for fleas. They really made our time away from home very relaxing and care free. Thank you both once again.

C

C was a great pet and house sitter. She communicated brilliantly, facilitated us by collecting our dog from the kennels and also made the effort to drive to our house before the pet sit so we could meet her and show her how things worked and make her familiar with Polly's routine. She sent us updates while we were away and obvoiusly looked after Polly with great care and attention to detail. Thank you so much C!

Emily & Leo

Emily and Leo were great dog and housesitters. Our Sam and Joey took to them from the start. They were great at communicating and sent plenty of photos and messages. They left the house clean and tidy. I was sorry I was away when they arrived and when they left as I enjoyed meeting them online. I’d be very happy to welcome them again.

Eric

I had so much fun meeting Eric and Annie the night before their trip, I wished that I could have had more time to chat with them! Their property is beautiful, and rainy nights in the hot tub were so peaceful and relaxing. The kitties are all very friendly and enjoy being pet. Zelda and Esme purred me to sleep most nights, and Scruffy always had something to say while I was in the kitchen. I would recommend this sit to anyone who finds themselves in the area. Thank you again!

Lauren

What can we say ? We had one of our best housesits ever in Lauren's and Eric's home in the Oakland hills. Their house is in a nice and quiet neighborhood with friendly neighbors.
We felt home right from the beginning, due to their warm welcome and their uncomplicated nature. Lauren gave us clear instructions for the sit and we had very easy and friendly communications right from the first contact.
Their house is very spacious and comfortable, equipped with everything you might need. Nearly every evening we could enjoy breathtaking sunsets from the large balcony.
Keppi and Kora, the two cats, are very cute, quite independent and a bit shy at the beginning, but then enjoyed our company and loved it to be cuddled and petted. They were completely easy going and we immediately took them into our hearts.
We highly recommend this housesit to everyone and we would love to come back to this lovable family and their cute cats.
Thanks again Lauren and Eric and all the best for you all.

daphne

Doc was so sweet, lovable, and very easy to take care of.  Daphne’s home was very comfortable, clean, and she is very easy to talk to. It’s was a great sit!

Christina

This was an awesome experience! Rocket and Katniss are our new favourite cats. These two were such a lovely pair to take care of. We have never met more friendly and loving cats. Alongside these great companions is a beautiful home that is a must-see. It has all the amenities that a person could need with a well-equipped kitchen. All in all, this was a 10/10 experience!

DENISE

Love the Wilmington area, I had a great time at this stay. Luna was so cute and full of personality. We bonded well and she sat with me wherever I was, very sweet cat

Ffion

Everything was great about this sit! Ffion was fantastic and lovely, an excellent communicator, really friendly, and everything was clear and easy. Her cottage was lovely in the middle of the countryside with some beautiful views and walks around the area. And Olly was a dream to look after. Such a sweet, excited, playful and gentle dog, we couldn't have asked for better. We immediately missed him when we left, and do hope we can see Ffion and Olly again very soon.
