"Rita was an absolutely fantastic pet sitter, and looked after our dog Hugo with a huge amount of care and attention! I would very highly recommend Rita to anyone looking for a pet sitter! Rita was extremely responsive to all messages and left our house immaculately clean! We are so grateful to Rita for how she looked after Hugo! "

"Cassandra's care of our Corgi , Sunny was exemplary. She went above and beyond to ensure that Sunny was well looked after and happy. In addition to his regular twice daily walks, she took time out during weekends and a public holiday to take him for numerous outings to the beach, city and a family picnic. She regularly sent photographs and videos of these events and it was evident that he enjoyed himself thoroughly. This was particularly impressive as his behaviour seemed to improve while he was with her and reinforced her dog training credentials. Sunny displayed both exuberance and obedience in equal measure when he was in Cassandra’s presence. I would not hesitate in recommending Cassandra to anyone who needs a dog sitter and would also not hesitate in using her again. Cassandra’s professionalism, enthusiasm and overall attention to detail was outstanding. "

"I had Jessica stay at my home to care for my elderly cat, Marty, who has ongoing medical needs, for 10 nights while I was away. What initially drew me to her was her profile, which mentioned her experience with senior pets requiring special care—and I’m so glad I trusted my instincts, as she absolutely lived up to that impression. From the outset, Jessica showed genuine enthusiasm and care. She was eager to come and meet both Marty and me as soon as I made contact, which immediately put me at ease. She asked thoughtful questions to fully understand Marty’s routine, behaviours, and medical requirements. Jessica provided me with daily updates, with detailed notes on Marty’s habits, moods, and any changes she noticed. On top of that, she handled a fair bit of cleanup due to Marty’s condition, which I was incredibly grateful for—and I returned to a spotless home. Jessica was kind, responsible, and truly attentive throughout the entire stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter, especially for animals needing a little extra care. 10 out of 10 from me!"

"I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! Alex took amazing care of my kitten and my flat while I was away. From the beginning, communication was clear and she consistently sent an update and photos or videos once a day. She made note of funny little aspects of my kit’s behaviour, showing she really got to know her personality! My kitten clearly adored her from the moment they met— and upon return she was playful, well-fed, and completely relaxed when I got home. It was obvious that Alex spent quality time with her and treated her with real affection and care. She also looked after my flat beautifully—it was tidy, clean, and exactly how I left it (if not better!). It’s such a relief to know that both my pet and home were in such capable hands. I highly recommend Alex to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and responsible sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!"

"Hsiao Hsuan was amazing with my Chloe, she stepped in last minute and was accomodating of my requests. I had bad experience with a previous sitter, but Hsiao Hsuan understood my concerns and catered to them with empathy. She took care of Chloe as if her own, Chloe enjoyed her time with Hsiao Hsuan. She would play with Chloe and give her cuddles. She was also extremely respectful of the space and kept the apartment tidy. Definitely recommend her."

"ZoĂŠ is a lovely pet sitter. She was able to pet sit at our home on short notice; cared and cleaned even for our cats despite her dog centred profile. She is a lover of animals. She sent daily photos and walked our dog daily, socialising her with other dogs and people. We definitely recommend her to care for your fur babies."

"We are so happy with Susannah’s lovely care of our boy Grandpa! He is a rescue cattle dog and she was very sensitive of his needs and was very loving when she met him. Grandpa was also very tuckered out when we got home, which is a wonderful sign that he got all the exercise that he needs! ☺ She was so happy to receive lots of info about Grandpa and the house, which made us feel very confident. She also kept in great contact whilst we were away, and watered our plants for us ☺ Attentive, friendly, conscientious! 👏"

"Paul was a great pet and house sitter, and we'd be happy to have him stay with our dogs again. I appreciated his communicative approach both before and during our time away, and even checking in on the dogs once we were settled home again. We returned from our trip to 3 happily fed and walked dogs, and a tidy and clean house. Overall we found Paul to be a conscientious, reliable and friendly pet sitter, and would recommend his services without hesitation! "

Tilly requires medication on a daily basis and Jane administered the meds without issue. We returned to a clean home and a calm pet. I highly recommend Jane for a professional and caring approach. We’d love to have Jane back for our next sit."

"We are so grateful to have found Daisy and can’t thank her enough for taking such great care of our two cats and our apartment. Daisy was fabulous from the moment we contacted her, responding promptly and communicating clearly. She asked plenty of thoughtful questions and demonstrated a strong commitment to providing the best care for our pets, which put our minds at ease. It is clear Daisy has had plenty of experience with pet sitting and has a genuine love of animals. She is an all round wonderful person who is reliable, empathetic and able to quickly build trust. She also won both our cats over and was receiving head boops from the second day of her sit. We returned home to a spotless apartment and two very happy felines, who seemingly never even noticed we were gone! We highly recommend Daisy for any pet sitting needs and will certainly book her services again in the future. "

How should I prepare for a house sitter?

Before your house sitter arrives, give your home a vacuum, put away the dishes and make sure there are fresh sheets on the bed. Your sitter will really appreciate this. Also leave a list of clear instructions and a supply of essentials like cleaning products, pet food, litter, and toilet paper.
