It was an absolute pleasure to welcome Sophie, Rikki and their adorable little girl, Nellie into our home. They are the perfect housesitters, capable, caring, thorough, organised and just very likeable people. From the initial video call with Sophie, I got along really well with her and just knew that she would be brilliant. She identified that it must take a huge leap of faith to hand over your home and your pets to almost total strangers and go off on holiday for two weeks! Her empathy meant a lot to me. Nellie is a delightful, gentle and sweet little girl and she was very good around the dogs. I believe she and Darcy formed a strong bond. Communication with Sophie beforehand and during the sit was excellent. We had a brief in person hand over before we left and both Sophie and Rikki asked how much/how often we wanted updates, photos, etc. Sophie's updates were thorough and reassuring - detailing how the dogs were eating and sleeping etc., and in particular regarding Elvis' well being/appetite. It can be a challenge balancing the needs and differences between and older, infirm dog and a younger more playful one. Sophie and Rikki managed this well and with kindness (and patience!) towards Elvis. They were diligent about following the dogs' routine and even created their own more concise, easy to use version of my rambling notes on what happens when with each dog. I shall be keeping and using their version for future sitters. Needless to say, we arrived home to an immaculately clean and tidy home and got to spend a little time with Sophie and Rikki and Nellie before they headed off. Do not hesitate to take that leap of faith with this lovely family - they are the safest pair of hands you could find. I hope they come back to us one day but in the meantime we wish them well on their travels. Gary and Rebecca xxx

Ellie is a wonderful sitter!! We’ve been lucky enough to have her a few times and my pup absolutely loves her. Hope to see you again!

Samantha and Matt cat and house sat for us at the last minute in December for 12 days. This was our first experience using the website and we were nervous. We could not be happier with how the sit went. The family came exactly when we asked them to, were easy to handover the house to and we left feeling at ease. Throughout the sit, we received daily communication and pictures from Samantha and felt totally comfortable that our cats (and house) were being well cared for. When we returned, the house and cats were both in great shape. I could not recommend Samantha and Matt more highly.

Ashley has been a sitter for us twice, and is currently booked for a third.  She is wonderful with our cats!  And she takes excellent care of our house and plants while we're away.  Our cats are elderly and we worry they don't eat enough and lose weight while we're away.  Ashley discovered a way to mix up their foods which they really like.  It's something I'm going to continue to do while we're at home.  I highly recommend Ashley.  She is a great communicator and is a fun and gentle spirit.

What a wonder pup! If you love big dogs, Broly is a real treat.  Very energetic, playful and loving.  The have a  cozy home in a quiet area yet still walkable to restaurants & breweries.  The bed is very comfortable, which is important to me. We loved play fetch with Broly he really adores his fresbee and ball.  Highly Recommend!
