Caz and Stephen were excellent sitters. We had a FaceTime catch up a few months in advance to see if we were the right fit and then kept up the communication

Caz, Stephen and Seb, were the perfect house sitters. They took excellent care of our dog, Rosie and meticulous care of our home. They were thoughtful enough

Caroline and her family were excellent house and pet sitters. She communicated openly, was diligent in her care of the animals, and looked after the house

Caz is an excellent housesitter. I was happy to invite her and her family to sit because Dillon has experience of young children. We had a videocall

Caroline & Stephen looked after Lauren’s pets & home

Growing up with my brother Stephen, I have always had a great role model to look up to. Always surrounded by dogs and cats as pets, Stephen developed a natural affinity for animals, which shows in the thoughtful, considerate, and meticulous way he tends to their needs. Whether walking, feeding, or simply cuddling with them, our pets were always thrilled to see him, greeting him with excited zoomies and wagging tails. Stephen's home is a testament to his organizational skills and nurturing nature. Clean, welcoming, and well-organized, it reflects the same attention to detail he applies to pet care. His compassion and loyalty shine through in everything he does, making him an ideal pet caretaker. I highly recommend Stephen to anyone needing someone trustworthy and loving to look after their home and pets. Your furry friends will be in excellent hands with him.

Why we want to house sit

When we travel we like to make connections and invest in the surroundings. A house sit allows us to build connections with the place, and the pet facilitates interaction with the environment and they are also just great company and fun
