Experienced with cats, dogs, fish and horses. Managed a share house for 3 years and spent some weeks on an horse farm with thoroughbreds in Alberta. I know what it's like trying to get away with animals at home that need regular attention, or mail that needs collecting and gardens that need watering, so happy to help out and give you that peace of mind.

Ben and his fiance were amazing petsitters. Their communication was very good and my house looked lovely when I got home. We were very happy to receive photographs and videos throughout our holiday. My dog and two cats loved being sat by them and were sad to see them go.

Ben took excellent care of our cat. He regularly sent photos of him and messages about how he was going. He came around beforehand to meet us all and learn about Samuel and what was required. I always felt at ease while I was away for that extended period. The house and plants were immaculate upon our return. Thanks Ben.

Ben and Jess took exceptional care of our little menagerie and left our home in a beautifully neat and clean state. A few animal related situations arose whilst we were away and Ben and Jess were highly responsive and thoughtful in each instance.

We would highly ... MORE

Ben did a wonderful job caring for our pets, which included a dog, cat, retired horse & chooks on our small farm and kept our rainfall records up to date. He was extremely flexible with dates which was greatly appreciated in these difficult times. The house was in great condition when we returned.

Ben did a fantastic job looking after my very energetic kelpie called Red. Ben sent me photos to keep me updated on how Red was going, and walked him around the neighbourhood and at the dog park with his girlfriend's dog. Red was happy and content and very well looked after. Since my return, Ben and his girlfriend have extended their support as whilst I was away, I broke my foot and they have offered to continue to help walk Red during my recovery. I am extremely grateful for their assistance ... MORE

Ben was an absolute champ 'kitty sitter' & I would definitely recommend! After making contact with not a lot of notice, Ben was responsive to meeting, checking out the living space & introducing himself to Kitty, prior to the planned house sit. This made me feel really comfortable about the process. Ben presented warm, friendly and detail orientated. He seemed to appreciate being provided with information around how best to support Kitty in my absence. He had an obviously love for cats and I ... MORE

Safe house!

There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
