Homeowner in Reno, Nevada

These two are the best housesitters ever, and I have had about 8, and was happy with them all. They took amazing care of my kinda needy cat- and didn't complain -when my cat decided to yowl at 2 am for the heck of it. (unless Mikey does that just for me ha) The house was super clean, cat was happy, they watered plants, they communicated with me regularly and went above and beyond. Ian planted a plant that needed it, paid for a guy to paint my house number on the curb even! (It was a a great deal -only $3!) But more than that, these two are just amazing human beings. I highly recommend them!!

Amazing! V and Ian were absolutely the best. They sent pictures daily of their activities with the pups playing fetch and hiking. They left the house cleaner than they found it and it smelled wonderful. We would definitely have them back again!

Ben & Jill Schafer

Homeowner in Foster City, California

We used Veronica and Ian to watch Coco (our 15 year old Lhasa) over the summer and they did a great job. They came back to watch her for 7 weeks in Nov/Dec and again did a fabulous job. Unfortunately, Coco's health, which had not been great for the last 2 years, deteriorated quite a bit. I could not be more impressed with how Ian and Veronica took care of my Coco. When we returned home, we made the decision to put Coco down just after Christmas, a very sad day.

Veronica and Ian made a short video of Coco that they left for my wife and me and I watch it quite often. Talk about going above and beyond.

We could not recommend Veronica and Ian any higher, and if you are lucky enough to use them, do not hesitate.

Jellaine And Sam Dee

Homeowner in Sovereign Island, Gold Coast, Australia

What a power couple! Ian and V were our house sitters for 2 weeks. They were happy to take care of a number of little jobs we needed to be completed whilst we were away. They kept the house very clean and tidy. They even organised an arborist to come and take care of our sad looking coconut palms which needed some serious TLC! :-) We felt so comfortable, happy and relaxed on our honeymoon because of how confident we were in these two. If you have the chance to meet Ian and V, do it, invite them into your home, they are not only amazing housesitters but also amazing people.

Lauren & Nick Bogan

Homeowner in Reno, Nevada

Veronica and Ian housesat for us for 2 weeks while we went on our honeymoon. They looked after our 2 storey home, gardens, plants and our darling cat Tanner. They sent us regular updates and pictures of Tanner to let us know he was happy and to assure us he was in good hands. We came back to a spotless home and it was probably cleaner than when we left. We couldn't recommend these guys enough!

Homeowner in Brooklyn, New York

Veronica and Ian recently housesat for us - it was a wonderful experience. They were available to come and meet our dogs before we went away so that we could see how they got along with them and they were marvelous. They were very patient with one of our “shy” dogs, and she took a liking in them very fast. They are punctual, organised, easygoing and very friendly.
They even regularly updated us on how things were going while we were gone, sending pictures from their walk to the park. We got home to a house in better order than we left it in and with two very happy dogs. We would highly recommend them to anyone.

Our house sitters Veronica and Ian were fantastic!
Our house was very clean when we came home and I could tell that our dog was very happy during our vacation. They are very friendly, reliable and organized. We would love to ask them again for housesitting!

I highly recommend Veronica and Ian for house-sitting. Whenever they have stayed at our house they have left it more organized and cleaner than they found it. Veronica is especially very intuitive about caring for animals and property.

Homeowner in Big Island, Hawaii

Veronica and Ian are the best house sitters I have ever had. When I came home, the house looked better than when I left. They took very good care of my home, plants, dog, cat and goldfish. I hope they are available the next time I need a house sitter!

Craig Chapman

Homeowner in Oahu, Hawaii

V and Ian have been great friends of my wife and I. They have stayed in both our homes on Oahu and the Big Island in Hawaii, while we were traveling--also using our cars--they always leave our homes clean/cars clean and gassed--- better than when they arrived.

Erika Gondo

Homeowner in Surfers Paradise, Australia

Veronica and Ian looked after both my house and my fish for 3 weeks
over the 2012 Christmas holidays. Not only was my fridge fully stocked with all the basics when I got back (a welcome treat when one arrives after a long flight with kids to feed immediately) but my floors were even cleaner than when I left them, if that's possible (I'm very particular about my floors and furniture ;-). I would have no hesitation whatsoever recommending them as house sitters; they are both extremely responsible and thoughtful people!

Sophie De Somerville

Homeowner in Nobby Beach, Australia

Veronica and her husband Ian lived with me in Australia and looked after my home when I went away on holidays. They took fantastic care of our two dogs, taking them to the beach, feeding them and giving them love! Veronica would often clean the house, far above and beyond what was required. Ian took fantastic care of the lawns and gardens. The house looked wonderful. I would highly recommend Veronica and Ian as housesitters and am happy to provide further information if required.

Ian and Veronica are absolutely the BEST house and pet sitters that I've ever had. I've never had such respectful and conscientious people take care of my two cats, one dog, and many and varied plants (all of which are like my children)!

I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend them for any of your house, pet, plant sitting needs. They are the best!!

Homeowner in Port Douglas, Australia

We have known Veronica Robinson for 20 years now. Veronica is an exceptionally hard working and responsible woman. We have known Veronica both as a family friend and employee and she has always demonstrated these great qualities. Veronica has a deep love of all animals and has looked after our dogs and horses at different times. In addition, Veronica is highly organized, clean and tidy and with her boundless energy is a wonderful people person. We also had the pleasure of having Ian stay with us. He is talented and very handy with all maintenance and landscaping responsibilities. He is a very mature man who also enjoys animals. I can't recommend Veronica and Ian highly enough as excellent house-sitters.
