Pet Sitters in Surfers Paradise

Marnie

Marnie was trustworthy, professional & a dog whisperer when it came to handling our sensitive, sometimes temperamental doggies. She cared for our doggies like they were her own, therefore I would recommend Marnie to PetSit your precious pets.

Emma

Emma and Mark were wonderful housesitters for our three fur babies. They genuinely fell in love with them and gave us a day by day report, videos and photos, on how well they were being looked after. We were also very happy with the respect they showed our home and car during our overseas trip. We feel we have made two friends not just had someone appear and disappear after the event. Thank you Mark and Emma!

Glenda

Glenda is such a lovely Lady and gave 200%pet care and house care.. she was kind enough to cook me a meal on my return and she’s so easy to get on with .. I would recommend her to pet/ house sit anytime and hope when she’s back in the Uk she will look me up🤗

Julie

We were very thankful to Julie and John for their sit. Covid concerns meant that the stay was pushed back by a few days, but communication was great, and despite all of the border hurdles and delays, they continued on with the sit , which we were very thankful for. Rollo, Jasper and Blinky loved having Julie and John sit for them and were very relaxed and happy upon arrival. The house also looked great upon arrival. We would happily have Julie and John sit for us again, and recommend them to others who need reliable and dependable house sitters :)

Isabella & Maria

Would give 10 stars if I could. Bella was kind, responsible, on time, and was great with the dogs. We would highly recommend Bella as a house sitter to anyone. Even though she only stayed a few days, she feels like family.

Gabriella

Gabriella was amazing with all my pets. We have 6 dogs and 3 cats. As soon as she arrived I was put at ease, we have a cat flap and the dogs like to poke their heads out one at a time to see who's there, Ellie was making a fuss of them before I got to the door ! The dogs all gave Ellie a huge welcome and she wasn't fazed at all. I felt so happy knowing I was going away, leaving them all with someone who was going to give them lots of attention. I had told Ellie that one of the cats was really nervous and that not to worry about her, she'd come in at night, I came home to find out that they'd become friends. We came home to a nice warm, clean house, Ellie had lit a fire, and had waited up for us, even though we did not arrive home until late in the evening. I'd highly recommend Ellie for a sit, don't let her age put you off, she is very mature and well travelled. I'd love Ellie to sit for us again in the future, or visit if she is in the area.

Joanne & Ian

Joanne and Ian cannot be faulted. Communication leading up to and during the sit was perfect, the house was left clean and tidy and most importantly, Frank was taken really good care of. Frank even learned to walk to heel while we were away! We can highly recommend Joanne and Ian for any house/pet sit and we hope they can return to ours one day. Thanks guys!

Oscar & Georgina Noeli

Oscar & Georgina have made me a Zeewoi convert. I was so nervous to leave my home and pet in a stranger's care, but they were lovely. They were proactive with their communication before, during, and after the stay which helped me feel comfortable. Oscar & Georgina sent periodic photos and check-ins about our pet and gave her plenty of love and care. Our home was clean when I returned and they kindly changed the sheets on my bed (I had a late arrival after a long trip) and changed the fresh flowers before my return. I truly hope they come back to Japan to stay at our home in the future, but, if not, anyone else who has them in their home with their pets will not be disappointed! Thank you Oscar & Georgina!

Wendy

Wendy and her partner Dino were absolutely delightful. My pets loved them, and my home was kept immaculately. I would be so very happy to have them back again to look after my most precious things.

Wendy

Wendy was a wonderful sitter for our 2 cats. We appreciated how organised she was, and her willingness to come and chat to us in person before committing to the sit. She was very responsive to messages and we returned to 2 happy cats and a very clean apartment. I would not hesitate to recommend Wendy to others.

Carolina

Carolina is a lovely and considerate young woman who was clear in her communications. Carolina has done two house sits for me and both times did a great job caring for my home and fur babies. She left my home clean and tidy and I would recommend her.

Zoe

ZOE was fantastic! We couldn't expect a better dogsitter for our pet! First of all she's much more tidy than us, so when we were back the house was clean and tidy,. She kept us updated with photos and news and as we came back we found an happy and joyful dog! It's a pity she lives so far away otherwise we would have called her every year!

Troy

This was such a wonderful sit!  Patty and Troy were so kind and inviting.  And Rosie is one of those dogs that steal your heart away.  I loved walking with her: she's such a good-hearted dog.

We had a lot of fun including playing at Dog Beach and roaming the neighborhood which was clean and safe.

Situated in North San Diego, the home was beautifully appointed and obviously a home.  Patty and Troy were always available and I was treated very well.  It was my second sit and I was very nervous but they put me at ease.  If you ever have the opportunity to sit for this family, you should!!!

Tim

Wonderful and lovely couple and their sweet pups were no different. We fell in love with their home and outdoor landscape. The puppies were perfect companions. So sweet and loving they quickly became cherished. Definitely, recommend this sit to anyone looking to unwind and relax in beautiful New Mexico!

Stuart

What an amazing experience we had at Stuart and Lisa’s home caring for Barney, Hebe and Harry. We already miss our daily walks through the fields in Maidwell with Barney and Hebe, and cuddling with Harry during the day. Stuart and Lisa are exceptional hosts, but more importantly, exceptional people; and extremely generous on so many levels. We have since formed a great friendship and continue to stay connected. We thank Stuart and Lisa for being so accommodating and so very hospitable. Should the opportunity arise again to care for their awesome and loving pets, we will be first in line. Thank you! 🙏🏼

Jann

We would highly recommend this sit. Jann and John are kind, thoughtful and generous hosts. They surprised us with fresh tulips and Prosecco. Tilda and Hairy are wonderful and affectionate kitties. We miss them already. Their home is stunning filled with Jann‘s art and quirky finds. Then there are the VIEWS. Yes we want to come back.

Zoe

House-sitting for Zoe and her dog Buddy was a real delight! Zoe was super friendly and helpful, and Buddy was a dream. He is very easy-going, obedient, and just generally great company. Lovely little house too. Wouldn't hesitate in recommending Zoe's sit to anyone. Thanks again!

Freddy

Freddy was such a wonderful host! Great communication in the lead up to and during the sit and gave us all the information we needed to take care of Louis and some great recommendations for exploring Margate too. The house is in a great spot in Margate close to some of the best pubs and restaurants! 

And now onto our new best mate Louis - we absolutely loved spending the week with him. He is such a magical little guy and is a total joy to be around. He’s full of personality, loves cuddles, playing and we loved taking him on our little adventures around Margate. We missed him the second we left! 🧡
