"Seeun was an exceptional cat sitter. She is knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely caring, and took wonderful care of our cat, Luna, with daily visits over three weeks.
She was always reliable and communicated consistently, sending us plenty of photos and updates each day. Luna quickly became comfortable with Seeun and clearly loved the attention and care she received. Seeing their photos together gave us great peace of mind while we were away.
When we returned, Luna was happy and well cared for, and our home was spotless. We’re so grateful to have found Seeun, and we’ve already rebooked her for our next trip. We highly recommend Seeun to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter."

"Donna-Marie was an AMAZING catsitter. She took care of our cats for a week and we couldn't have imagined someone better for our quite shy babies. She doesn't only show up to take care of your cats' basic necessities (food, water, litter)- she goes above and beyond to make sure they're comfortable in her care. We really saw how much time and energy she put into every one of her visits, taking time to play with them, talk to them, and earn her trust. We received lots of pictures and videos every single day which put us at ease as we've never been away from them for this long. I could not recommend her higher for anyone who is in need of cat care!"

"This was my first time arranging a stranger to care for my cats and I couldn’t be happier with the service Claire provided. When I met her I could tell there was nothing to worry about. She is friendly and a great communicator. I can tell she really loves cats,too. My cats are usually quite shy but warmed to her quickly. When I got home from a short trip out of Melbourne my apartment was just as I left it. I would definitely recommend choosing Claire for your next pet sitter :)"

"Suki has been amazing with our cat while we were away and made the whole process so smooth and easy. She’s a great communicator, attentive to detail and very reliable. She took the time to note anything needing special attention beforehand and kept us updated after every visit. Our cat loved her company!
We really appreciate the care and love Suki gave her, and it was so reassuring knowing she was in good hands. We’d happily recommend Suki and would definitely book her again! ❤️"

"Letitia was absolutely amazing! Her communication was outstanding from start to finish, and we always felt completely reassured knowing our cats were in her care. Her kindness, genuine love for animals, and attention to detail really shone through. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of, and it was clear that she truly cared. We recieved daily photo updates which was wonderful.
We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would highly recommend Letitia to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and wonderful with animals. Thank you so much, Letitia! We will be booking you again in the future. ❤️🐾"

"We had such a great experience with Elena. She was incredibly attentive, listened carefully to all of our instructions, and genuinely looked after our pets as if they were her own. Her communication was fantastic, with constant updates and plenty of photos along the way, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away.
She even managed to figure out the best way to get our new Maine Coon comfortable with being brushed, something we’ve been struggling with ourselves.
We would highly recommend Elena to anyone looking for a caring, reliable and attentive pet sitter. We’ll definitely be using her again!"

"Marion was absolutely amazing! She took such wonderful care of our four bunnies while we were overseas. My partner and I were quite nervous about leaving them behind, but Marion instantly put us at ease with her excellent communication and regular photo updates. She was incredibly thoughtful and attentive especially on hot days in Melbourne keeping us informed and making sure our apartment stayed cool and comfortable for the rabbits. We came home to very happy, well-cared-for bunnies and couldn’t be more grateful. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Marion to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter."

"Ana provided the utmost kindness and care to our beautiful old lady cat Lourdes. We came home to a very content cat who had been well looked after for several days. We were also looked after very well with messages, photos and videos which gave us enormous peace of mind. Lourdes lost her older sister a few months ago and our travel was for a death in the family so it was necessary. Thanks to Ana's first class care and service that was one thing that we did not have to worry about. Enormously grateful to her .. the best cat carer ever!"
