Kevin is an amazing sitter! I truly appreciated his patience with one of my dogs, who needed a little extra time to feel comfortable going on a walk. He left my home clean and well-organized, and his communication about the dogs and any concerns was excellent. I wholeheartedly recommend Kevin for all your home and pet sitting needs!

We had no issues. Kevin kept us up to date and dealt with any small issues that came up. Everyone was safe and sound we got home. House was clean and tidy. Hope we can call on you again. Thanks for everything, Joan and Kerry

Kevin sent a message the first week stating that the dishwasher was broken and he was washing dishes by hand...this was the last time I would hear from him. He broke a cupboard door and a mug, left sticky messes in cupboards and counters but worst of all the dishwasher would not work because he jammed it so full the trays would not go in all the way. So he left all his dirty dishes (which were not rinsed off) with caked on food for a month in the dishwasher for me to clean when I got home! He ... MORE

Total BS ! In fact the bathroom, was cleaned thoroughly when I left, as was the stove. As for the dishwasher, I rinsed everything before putting in, it wasn’t packed ! The door latch never shut, Not Sure it EVER Worked ! The counters and Everything were cleaned when I left. I spent hours mowing the ... MORE
Kevin was a sincere pleasure from the moment we met him. More importantly, our dog Karma, felt the absolute same!! Kevin is a gentleman in every aspect we came to quickly know, and we couldn't have been more pleased for him taking care of Karma...and enjoying our home while doing so. As we communicated, and expected, Kevin was a 5-star sitter from start to finish. Sincerely appreciated, and highly recommended!! Chris, Natasha & Karma...

If you’re looking for a good and reliable petsitter, you won't be disappointed with Kevin. My dog Tal enjoyed his time with Kevin who took good care of him. House was in good shape. Communication was smooth, If Kevin is available, I will re-use his services with great pleasure.

Great house sitter! He took very good care of our dog and kept in communication throughout. Would definitely recommend him!
 
EMILIE ( Quebec, Apr 2024 - 4 weeks)
Kevin is the most reliable, most professional housesitter we have ever had the pleasure of inviting into our home. We returned to a spotless place, the dogs were happy and healthy, he was always in touch, and we never once were concerned about being far from home. We recommend him without hesitation and hope he is available in the future.

Kevin took excellent care of bandit (the dog) and mango (the cat). Bandit can be quite needy re care he needs while I am away and Kevin took excellent care of him. He was great at communicating with me and keeping me in the loop and took great care of the house while I was away. I would highly recommend Kevin for house and pet sits. Kevin was great getting to know you and thank you again for taking such great care of the animals and the house.
