Pet Sitters in Summerland

Tess

What can I say about the lovely Tess other than if you are lucky enough to have Tess offer to sit for you then do not hesitate to accept her offer. Tess was very self sufficient and diligent in her care of our dogs, who I have to say are missing her snuggles. She sent lots of photos and kept us up to date with all that was happening. The house was immaculate when we came home. Tess has a lovely personality and a very calm presence and we'd be delighted if she were able to sit for us in the future.

Agnes & Phil

Agnes and Phil were such a treat! They took great care of the boys and we came home to a super clean house. They’d already cleaned the sheets and made up the bed by the time we got home and left us plums from their tree! Very pleasant couple. I felt safe leaving the dogs and my home; Agnes even turned over laundry I’d forgotten in the wash. Highly recommend, I will definitely be inviting them to sit again.

Alison

Alison and David are an absolute godsend when it comes to housesitting! We entrusted them with our home, our beloved dog Paxton, and our two furry feline kids JoJo and Riley, and they exceeded every expectation. First and foremost, walking back into our house after our trip felt was a joy. It was not just clean, but immaculate—seriously, it seemed cleaner than when we left it! From top to bottom, every corner sparkled. But it's not just about the cleanliness of the house—Alison and David took the time to truly care for our pets as if they were their own. Paxton was as happy and healthy as ever, and our cats JoJo and Riley were clearly content and well-loved during our absence. They didn't just go through the motions; they formed genuine connections with our furry family members, providing them with the affection and attention they needed. Communication was seamless throughout the entire process. They kept us updated regularly with photos and messages, giving us peace of mind knowing that everything was running smoothly at home. And not only were they punctual in their duties, but they also went above and beyond, anticipating our needs and addressing them before we even had to ask. And let's talk about those framed portraits—what a thoughtful and unexpected touch! David is a talented as a photographer and will be lasting reminder of the wonderful care our pets received under Alison and David's watchful eye. In short, if you're looking for housesitters who will treat your home and pets with the utmost care, professionalism, and love, look no further than Alison and David. They are simply the best and we cannot recommend them highly enough.

Corrie

Corrie and Stephane did a house and dog sit for me for a month, and they were so great. Annie, my dog and baby, is young, and they worked on her training every day which was really important to me. They took her for long walks and gave her a lot of love and attention, so she was a very happy dog. There is no question that they are now a part of her pack. They stayed in touch the entire time I was gone, and I even got emails from Annie. What fun! They also had to deal with a mechanical problem in the house, and they handled it well. Annie and my house were in perfect shape when I returned. They even cooked me dinner that night. I would love to have them back again, and I know Annie would too.

Hayley

Hayley and Mark have been our best house sitters to date. They took the girls on extra long walks and had them walking with their best behavior. It was a joy to come home to a clean house and happy pups. It was clear that they both put in extra effort when caring for everything while we were away. We would have them back any time :)

Cindy

Cindy did another great job taking care of my two cats who are very comfortable with her right now. The house was very clean upon my return and there was good communication throughout my trip.

Maya

Maya stayed at our place for a week and looked after Louie, our spoodle and our home. She was an amazing young lady who was very reliable and respectful. Louie loved her straight away and we were able to spend a little time with her before we left, getting to know her. We would absolutely recommend Maya to care for your pets and your home.

Abbey

Everything went smooth and allowed us to have a carefree holiday, our cats were well taken care of and everything was nice and clean when we returned

Vesper

Vesper took wonderful care of my two very particular cats while I was gone on a short trip. We had clear communication before and during the trip, and they sent me happy photos of the cats enjoying playtime and snacktime. When I came home, the house was beautifully tidy and welcoming. Vesper is very warm and affectionate towards animals, which was very reassuring for me to know. I recommend Vesper for other sits, definitely.

Dustin

This was the second time we had Dustin come and sit for us. He watched our 1 year and 7 month old pups and did an amazing job! The house was clean and tidy and the pups were well cared for. He was great at communicating and questions and sent us pics of the pups having a blast. :)

Gracie

We were very pleased with the care Gracie and James provided for our two dogs. They took a lot of effort to communicate and send images of our pets while we were on holiday. They are kind, trustworthy and true animal lovers. Without hesitation we highly recommend this young couple for your housesitting / petsitting needs.

Raquel

Raquel and Eric were INCREDIBLE!! This was our first experience leaving our pets in the care of ‘strangers’, and they Exceeded our expectations. Our pets received the very best care and our house was left spotless. There was a pet emergency and they handled it to a tee! We were sooo pleased with everything and would highly recommend them!

Julia

Julio was great to work with, her home is beautiful and accommodating. Close to White Rock Lake which is absolutely amazing. The kittens were a pleasure to work with they have very simple needs as long as their water is fresh, their food is full, and the litter is tidied up. For this, they will reward you with nonstop entertainment. They are curious at first, however once they’re comfortable they will entertain each other and you with hours of play. I would definitely recommend this sit to anyone interested.

Sarah

Sarah and Scott are amazing people was so friendly when arrived and took me through all the ins and outs  about the house as-well as the the dogs, the fish and axolotl.so the welcoming was amazing and very very helpful and covered everything not forgetting the  walks The mini aquarium was so fascinating to watch didn't turn the tv on once mostly watched the creatures in the tank if not was playing with the dogs opie and gerry or watching the axolotl all pets were amazing during my stay and the location was  outstanding if anyone gets the chance to sit definitely take it you will not be disappointed

Beverley

The two cats were totally different personalities, one very friendly and the other rather skittish and shy.  Her home is lovely and comfortable and we thoroughly enjoyed the time we spent in Leicester.

Sarah

Best sit ever! Phoebe is so sweet, affectionate, and very low maintenance. And Sarah is very communicative, kind, and welcoming

Fosy

What a paradise!!
Our experience at Fosy’s place was wonderful. Our living quarters were clean and tidy. She was extremely precise about what had to be done for the dogs and the garden. Therefore we felt what was required of us was transparent between all parties.

Caroline

We did not get to meet Caroline before the sit started, however the instructions she left were very clear and we were made to feel very welcome in her home, which was comfortable and spacious.

Milo is a lovely cat. We didn’t see much of him but think he will have been out making the most of the gorgeous weather! 

We visited nearby Alderford Lake during our stay which was brilliant. 

Thank you for having us 😊
