"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!"

"One of the most impressive aspects of Tom's service was their excellent communication. They kept me updated regularly with photos and messages, which provided immense peace of mind while I was away. Any questions or concerns I had were addressed promptly and professionally, demonstrating their commitment to providing top-notch service. Tom showed remarkable attention to detail in every aspect of caring for my cat. They followed all of my instructions meticulously, ensuring my cat's dietary needs were met and any preferences or were catered to. I never once worried about my cat's well-being under their care.
Thank you, Tom for providing such outstanding care to my furry companion!"

"This was our first time using a pet sitter, so we were not sure what to expect. We didn’t need to worry though, as Elena took amazing care of our cat while we were away. We loved her daily updates, and were able to enjoy our trip without worrying about our cat."

"Ariadna looked after our 18 year old cat for just over three weeks. She came for a visit ahead of time to meet the cat and understand the environment and allow me to explain all the logistics. During the care, she would send me regular updates on how our cat was going. Ariadna did not just simply feed the cat and cleaned the litter, but also spend time with the cat, played with her, and gave her some company during the time we were away. This was particularly important to me given the age of our cat and the extreme temperatures in Melbourne while we were away. I would definitely rely Ariadna again in the future and recommend her!"

Very smooth communication, and he’s experienced in taking care of cats and kittens. We’ve received some valuable advices from him regarding how to create a better and safer environment for animals at home.
Thank you Chester! Would love to meet your cat someday :) "

"Capucine & Declan are incredible pet sitters!
They go above and beyond. They took care of all 3 of our animals while overseas, 2 visits a day and dog walking: sent me photos every visit updating me on each of the animals. Cleaned the areas each animal uses and maintained the cleanliness of the entire house. We extended our holiday and kept them on without any worry or concern for our animals.
This couple is a dynamic duo, reliable, honest, kind & a true power pet sitting force. Will use this duo every time we go away or for extra walks when needed. You won’t regret using this duo!! "

"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."

"Sarah was an absolutely amazing pet sitter for my cat, Sirius. From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely cared about animals. She sent me tons of photos and updates throughout the stay, which really helped ease my mind while I was away. Sirius looked so happy and well cared for in every picture—it was clear he was in great hands. I came home to a calm, content kitty, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and attentive sitter!"
