Pet Sitters in Shell Cove

Sue

We trust Sue without hesitation and she has sat for us previously. She always cares for our house and cat as she would her own. We look forward to future holidays where Sue can sit for us again.

Candice

We were so lucky to have Candice and Tony look after our dog and home. They left out home in sparkling condition and cared for our labradoodle so beautifully. He had the best time with them and they sent us many photos and videos which made being away from him easy. We would highly recommend them to anyone needing fantastic house and pet sitters. We will definitely be asking them to stay at our home if we are all away on holiday in the future.

These two are such gentle and amazing people! We could not have asked for more when searching for care for our animals. Their communication from the beginning was amazing, from getting to know each other to sending photos and messages while we were away to reassure us that life at home was going well. They showed extreme care in our home and kept everything running smoothly - we wouldn't have know anyone had stayed once the sit was over except for the beautiful and treasured gift of illustrations of our pets once we arrived home. Thank you enormously, Sophie and Maxwell. Having you stay and love our dogs as much as you did meant the world. It made our first family adventure stressfree and let us enjoy every moment. We hope that your experiences in our little slice of the world were just as wonderful!

Digby

Digby and Caroline were great! They took on the role of Goose and Karma’s caretakers wonderfully and also took awesome care of our home. They went the extra mile and we came home to happy pets, a clean house, and fresh flowers! So sweet! I didn’t have a single worry while we were away. I recommend them 10 times over for anyone looking for a housesitter.

Matthew & Stephanie

Mat and Steph did a great job looking after our treasured possessions - the house and our Spoodle, Mintie. I would highly recommend Mat and Steph to anyone seeking reliable, mature, organised and trusty sitters. We would certainly invite them back for a future sit.

Justine

Justine was the perfect house sitter for our family. Our dog warmed to her caring nature instantly. Her communication was outstanding and she sent daily photos of our pet enjoying a walk. The house was immaculately clean when we returned and she even left us a welcome home gift. We would welcome Justine back anytime and would highly recommend her to any family looking for an exceptional house sitter.

Hui Yau

Yolanda was great with my two fur children! She took on all the instructions given with ease, and even brought with her nail clippers because our littlest has the sharpest claws there is! I was confident leaving my cats in her care as she loves cats and also has her own growing up. Thanks for helping us, Yolanda!

Jean & Gabriel

We absolutely love having Jean look after our Bonnie. It’s the second time we’ve had Jean, and she is very reliable, communicative and left the house clean and tiny. Jean sent us updates with photos of what Bonnie was up to, and Bonnie looked like she was having the time of her life. Thank you!!😊

Stella

Stella and Hannah looked after our dog and two cats while we were away for a week. Their communication and planning before arrival was great. We were missing the animals a little bit while we were away and asked for a few more updates etc and Stella and Hannah delivered straight away. When we got home the house was spotless and the animals had obviously really fallen in love with Stella and Hannah during their stay. Great sitters and lovely people!

Constanza & Ian

Coty and Ian are excellent sitters. They went above and beyond to take care our border collie, Gecko, especially when he got sick while we were away. Our house was also looked after well and kept clean and tidy. We would highly recommend them to other pet owners.

Bhakti

Great communication. Bhakti followed instructions and took great care of my cat.

Miss Natalia

I wish I could score more stars for Natalia and Maxi and the level of care they showed for my pets. One dog Molly was unwell while I was away - every pet owners nightmare. Being super attentive, Natalia spotted the problem right away and contacted the vet directly, keeping me informed at every step. By the time I arrived home Natalia had medicated following the vets instructions, Molly had recovered and the other pets had clearly been well looked after and were thriving. Couldn’t recommend these guys highly enough. They’ll be the first people I contact when I’m booking time away in the coming months.

Justine

We took care of Amora for one week. It was a wonderful week, a wonderful place to stay and Amora is a wonderful dog :) Justine and Chris are very friendly and easy going. They made us feel very at home and trusted. The house is in a beautiful and safe condominium and just a 2 minute walk away from a beautiful beach. Amora loves going there so you will enjoy many many beach walks and swims when you take care of her. You will have a great time!

Claire

It was a delight to look after gorgeous Bagle, Wholly and Mouse! Claire and her family were wonderful from start to finish, great communication and a lovely welcome into their home. Bagle and Wholly are the loveliest, cheekiest beagles, and we loved adventuring around the neighbourhood with them (and getting lots of smoochy cuddles at bed time!). Mouse was very friendly and has the softest fur! Beautiful house sit, would definitely recommend to anyone who is an animal lover ^_^

Neena

Neena and Terry are a brilliant down-to-earth couple and the two dogs, Jake and Millie, are possibly the two easiest pets we’ve looked after. Both dogs are fun, laid back, loving and well behaved. To top it off, their home is gorgeous and just a few minutes from our favourite Regional Park in Canada with its spectacular cliffside hike and views. Thanks for being great hosts, we’re both looking forward to meeting up with you guys in the future!

Adrienne

Belmont was such an absolute joy and kept me laughing whenever he wasn't snoozing. I loved having a big yard to play with him, and he was easy and superbly behaved on his walks. The neighborhood was so lovely and this was a super easy sit. Family was so lovely and really enjoyed watching them surprise their kiddo who knew nothing about the trip!!! I could tell they are a lot of fun, and they have the perfect dog to match with that goofy charm.

Steve

Pompom and Ginger we lovely to be with.
Ginger like to hang around you, on his terms. Pompom was a bit stand offish at first but then tended to relax in a chair on on the couch right by me.
The house was very comfortable and has a lovely garden.
It is easy to walk to the bright lights of London and Abbeydale roads and the restaurants and shops are varied and interesting.
I had a lovely meal on arrival and was made to feel very welcome.

Thanks for inviting me, and I would love to sit again.

Kathryn

Ziggy was a breeze to look after and is very friendly. Kathryn and Mike were quick to respond and easy to communicate with. I'd definitely recommend :)
