Julie

Julie did a great job looking after my cat and house for a quick night stay. Thank you, Julie!

Conor

Conor and his girlfriend were excellent house sitters. I came home to a spotless home and happy pups. They even sat during a cold snap in Austin and took excellent care of our home during that time. Highly recommend!

Wendee

Wendee was great, very happy to have her sit for me and take care of my dogs.

Eva

Eva was wonderful. She took great loving care of our two cats, brushing and combing them and keeping them active. She was proactive and looked after our big house really well. I highly recommend Eva!!

Alyssa

Alyssa is the best house/dog sitter one could wish for. Our 10 year old dachshund/Pomeranian mix was treated like royalty - walked frequently, taken for car rides and cuddeled constantly. Alyssa kept us updated with pictures and videos on WhatsApp throughout our entire 3 1/2 week European tour. The house was as clean as we left it and all the necessary house tasks were well taken care of. No question that we would ask her back for our next trip!

Anna

Anna was super easy to coordinate and communicate with. Our pup seemed happy and our house was left almost exactly as we had left it.

julie

It was such a pleasure to have Julie to pet and house sit. Julie is extremely kind, caring, and very genuine. My pet's both loved Julie, and both were very comfortable with her very quickly. She looked after them and the house as if they were her own, and with tireless dedication (especially with Buddy the dog, who missed me a lot!). I really hope Julie enjoyed sitting for us as much as we loved having her here and that she will pay us a visit again in the future, so we can all catch up! It really is a wonderful way of making like-minded friends.

Riley

Riley and Chris took great care of our Danes. Riley was prepared and they had minimal questions and kept us up to date on their arrival and departure.

Amy

Amy left our place in great shape and the pets were very well cared for!

Julia

Thank you for your care of our fur babies!

Jutta

Janice and her daughter Molly looked after Poppy and our house brilliantly.  It was a pleasure to meet them both and we felt very comfortable going off on holiday and leaving them in charge.  Communications were great, Poppy had a lovely time and was pampered and well cared for.  All laundry had been done and the house left immaculately tidy for our return.    We would be absolutely delighted to have them sit again and highly recommend.

Anne

Really enjoyed having Manon again, Fiona is very comfortable with her and Manon always leaves my apartment in perfect condition. Manon is always welcome to return:)

Adam

Becca was a great care taker for our Rosie.  She was reliable, caring, and communicative throughout the whole stay.  Our house was just as we left it when we returned home, and our dog seemed very happy to have her here.  Hope to have Becca stay again in the future.

PATRICE

Patrice’s home was quiet and safe, and the cats were super easygoing! Patrice is communicative and hospitable as a host. It was a great fit!
