Cat Sitters in Westlake

Maree

Maree was an excellent sitter. She cared for all our menagerie beautifully and kept us informed of day to day life. The house was very tidy on our return and all the cats were very chilled and happy. A truly lovely person inside and out…We’d be very happy to welcome Maree back any time..

Jule

Jule and Andressa were wonderful house sitters and took great care of our cat Tulsi. It was easy to communicate with them and meet over Zoom before agreeing to the sit, and they arrived just when they said they would. They were both great about sending us photos and updates while we were away, and left our apartment clean and tidy for when we returned. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for responsible and friendly sitters!

Tracy

Above and beyond. Could not ask for more caring and understanding sitters. Our boys and girl were loved and well looked after, at sometimes trying times, and we are so grateful we could enjoy our much needed holiday with no stress. Thanks guys!

Bridget

We were very happy to have Bridget and Thomas come back for another sit. Our dog was very happy to see them again and they did another great job looking after him and our home. They communicated well prior and during the stay and followed all the routines. They are very clean and tidy and left everything how they found it. We would be happy to have Bridget and Thomas back.

Kellie & Mark

This globe trotting couple is the greatest choice you will make to look after your fur babies. Kellie and Mark are warm, kind, caring and genuine people. They looked after our 17 month old Cavoodle Alba for 5 weeks while we were overseas. During our time away, we were kept up to date on Alba's adventures with videos, photos and messages. We truly appreciated the time, effort and creativity that went into these cute and often funny updates. We came home to a spotless house and very loved and cared for pooch. We truly miss Kellie and Mark already, but I know we'll see them again.

Craig & Nicola

Craig and Nicola are 5 stars pet sitters, we highly recommend them, they were perfect! we came back to a happy and serene cat. The house was very clean and tidy, they had even cooked a delicious meal for us. What more can you expect? Thanks again to both of them for being so thoughtful and friendly. We hope to see them again some day!

daphne

Daphne is a dream sitter, she is a super bright spark, a really lovely person to meet, and very intuitive and caring with our pets, home and plants. I couldn't have asked for a better housesitter!

Anna

Anna was super. Communication was second to none. Cara loved Anna and her husband. They sent photos to reassure me while I was away. My house was perfect on my return with towels/bedclothes all washed for me. I’d highly recommend Anna. Very reliable!!

Cathrin

Cathrin was an amazing sitter! Our dog and cat were very well taken care of

Anna

As soon as Anna arrived and met our dogs we knew they would be in good hands. Our female is friends with everyone, however our male is a bit more conservative and less trusting. He approached Anna straight away and so we knew she passed the Bentley test and that made us feel at ease. For us, the most important thing was that our dogs stayed in their routine and that they received their medications daily. As this was the first time that we had left them since our female labby was diagnosed with a blood condition, we were very nervous that our sitters may forget her medication which could be life threatening. I messaged Anna to ask if they had remembered and she got back to me straight away which eased our minds. She sent us photos of the dogs and updated us with their activities. We said not to worry about walking them as Bella can’t exert herself and we didn’t think Bentley would go without her. However, he was obviously comfortable with Luke who managed to take him for a solo walk. We found Anna and Luke very easy to talk to and they followed the instructions set out in our welcome guide to the letter. Everything was clean and tidy when we arrived home , although we weren’t really concerned about the house, as for us it was that our fur babies were looked after in the same way that we look after them. We highly recommend Anna and Luke as pet sitters and hope that we can use them again if they are travelling our way.

Sonia & Jason

Sonia, Jason and their son Oliver house sat for us over a long weekend, and did a wonderful job. Their communication was prompt and clear from the beginning, and we received lovely updates during their stay. We returned home to a clean house, washed linens and happy dogs. We would highly recommend them to other home owners looking for responsible and caring sitters.

James

Jim and Shelly looked after our gentle giant Ted for 3 weeks while we were on hols. From our first contact with them, I knew that they would be a great fit. They are very organised and with their pet sitting and life experience, I felt very comfortable that they could deal with anything that might arise. We spent an enjoyable day with them before we left and Ted took to them straight away. They kept us updated with photos while we were gone. On our return Ted looked even better than beforehand. The apartment was spotlessly clean. I can highly recommend this lovely couple and look forward to them sitting again in the future.

Melanie

This housesit didn't go ahead due to our cancellation (unexpected change of situation), however I had a phone conversation with Mark and met Mark and Helen prior to this. Mark was friendly and provided all the information I needed to feel comfortable with him. When we met, Mark and Helen were very easy to talk to, asked appropriate questions so they knew how to look after our animals and were clearly very comfortable with our dog. I had no hesitation confirming Mark as our house sitter and was very appreciative that he understood my reasons for needing to cancel. Would readily have Mark for any upcoming housesitting.

Melissa

Greg and Amandine were everything we expected from seasoned house sitters, they had prepared questions for before their arrival, read the information that we sent them, made notes of our sudden last minute thoughts/advice and because of all that they had a smooth and easy sit.
Our cat was entirely won over by them and we were sent the photographic proof regularly, our chickens were well cared for and content when we returned.
The house was left in perfect order, we couldn't have asked for better sitters.
Their English is faultless which made our lives much easier than relying on our less than perfect French.
If you are lucky enough to secure this couple to sit for you then you can be assured of a relaxing trip away!
