It was an absolute privilege to have Ellie housesit for us! She loved our little cat like she was her own. She also kept excellent care of our home, as was confirmed by our second sitter. (We were away quite a while). Ellie updated and entertained us with wonderful videos of our cat and our home. She communicated regularly and responded quickly to emails. I would have no hesitation to request Ellie as a housesitter again! Thank you so much, Ellie! Leslie and Cam
Thank you so much, Leslie and Cam! It was truly a pleasure caring for Tuxedo and your home. I’m so glad you enjoyed the updates—I loved sharing those moments with you. 😊
Ellie and Frederick took fantastic care of our dog, Stella. We were gone for two weeks and I received at least a couple photos every day and sometimes a video. Ellie makes really fun videos. I highly recommend Ellie and Frederick. They are attentive and thoughtful. I would have them again if the opportunity came up.

Happy pets!

A house sitter provides loving, full-time, home-based pet-care while you're away.
