*CURRENTLY ON SIT*
Heidi – Honour Oak Park, London – 22nd October 2024 – 28th October 2024
Colin and Karyo were great dog sitters. Everything went incredibly smoothly and they were really understanding and flexible when our plans had to change at the very last minute due to a family emergency. Willow and the house were very well looked after. Would highly recommend Colin and Karyo.
Richard – Richmond, London – 12th October 2024 – 24th October 2024
Colin and Karyo – are experienced and meticulous house and dog sitters. I was their 77th house sit! They looked after my dog perfectly and sent regular updates and we corresponded on WhatsApp throughout. They were very flexible and washed their sheets and towels and made up their beds before they left. The house was left spotless. I would highly recommend them – both lovely people ….
Anne – Thames Ditton – 5th October 2024 – 12th October 2024
Colin and Karyo took brilliant care of our home and, most importantly, of our beloved dog Rangi. They were so helpful, communicative and an absolute joy to deal with – utterly glorious people. I’m terrible with planning and organising things and even when I got dates and times messed up they were so kind about it, flexible and accommodating and made it work. It was also so clear how much Rangi loved them because he sat by the door after they left waiting for them to come back – he does this with people he loves when they leave (for example with our kids and friends). They sent photos and updates and this anxious dog mama has never felt so calm and reassured. Colin and Karyo also left our home spotless, despite not needing to. Such lovely people and I can’t praise them enough. Absolutely wonderful! ❤️
Ailie – West Croydon – 17th September 2024 – 6th October 2024
Colin and Karyo are a lovely, friendly couple and I’m so grateful to them for taking such excellent care of our home and our beloved cats while we were away. When Andrew and I booked a three-week trip to a developing country, we knew there would be times when we’d be difficult or impossible to contact. Because of that, I was very keen to find experienced and capable sitters with the skills needed to independently make good decisions on our behalf, should that need arise. Colin and Karyo were the perfect choice! We really appreciated their daily photos and updates, we were delighted to return to a clean and tidy house, and while I have no idea how they managed to get *both* sets of bedding washed and the beds re-made for our return, I bow down to whatever sorcery skills made that magic happen! It was fantastic to arrive back home after 19 hours of travelling and get some much-needed rest. Regardless of who’s sitting, I always manage to worry about the cats whenever we’re away, but this time around I didn’t, and that speaks volumes! We’d be delighted to welcome Colin and Karyo back any time, with open arms. 🙂
Ed & Ian – Eastham – 5th September 2024 – 9th September 2024
Karyo and Colin recently stayed at our home for five days to look after Davina, and I can confidently say they’ve been the best house sitters we’ve had to date! From the moment they arrived, their professionalism and attention to detail were evident, making the whole experience seamless and stress-free. They took wonderful care of Davina, ensuring she was well-fed, exercised, and given plenty of love. Throughout their stay, I received regular updates and photos, which reassured me that Davina was in great hands. Their genuine love for animals was clear from the start, and Davina absolutely adored them. In addition to caring for Davina, Karyo and Colin were incredibly respectful of our home. They kept everything spotless, leaving the house in immaculate condition. Coming back to such a clean and well-maintained home was a true delight. Their communication was impeccable, with regular updates that were always prompt and thoughtful. It’s rare to find sitters who combine such outstanding pet care with an eye for detail in maintaining the home, but Karyo and Colin exceeded all expectations. I cannot recommend them highly enough! They’ve been the best sitters we’ve had so far, and I would not hesitate to have them back again. If you’re looking for sitters who are reliable, caring, and thoroughly respectful, Karyo and Colin are the ones you need!
Andrea & Ken – Finchley – 1st September 2024 – 15th September 2024
Well, that was fun! Lovely to welcome Colin & Karyo back for another sit. As usual, in the buildup to their visit they were responsive, organised, and easy to communicate with. We had a little visit and catch-up, then the next morning we went off on our travels knowing Cleo and the house (plants included) were in safe, grown-up hands, with the pet’s needs clearly prioritised. We received regular updates at the intervals agreed, along with some rather marvellous photos so we knew everyone was getting along. Came home to a very clean house, and happy cat, couldn’t ask for better sitters. Thank you, gents!
Charlotte & Jaimie – Surbiton – 27th August 2024 – 1st September 2024
Colin and Karyo looked after our Freddie for 5 days (originally planned for 4 but I miscalculated timings and they were able to extend last minute). We got daily updates and they left our home really clean and tidy. The perfect sitters!
Carla & Neal- Beaconsfield – 9th August 2024 – 27th August 2024
Its the second time we have welcomed back Colin & Karyo to our home, so this should really say it all. They are an amazing, kind couple and best of all extremely professional housesitters spending most of their time with your animals. They sent us regular updates with beautiful pictures of our 3 cats and English cocker. They even looked after our garden. Our house was respected and impeccably looked after. If they apply for a sit don’t even think twice just book them as you will be lucky to have them look after your home and furry children. Thank you once again Colin & Karyo and we look forward to seeing you hopefully again soon. Safe travels! Jones Family xx
Charlotte & Aaron – Bromley – 27th July – 11th August
Reliable couple who kept the house and garden neat and tidy. Good communication throughout the stay. Cats were happy. Thanks guys!
Amanda – Horsham -14th July 2024 -26th July 2024
Colin and Karyos looked after my dog, cat and four chickens for two weeks. If you could imagine perfect housesitters, they are it! Communication leading up to the sit was easy and relaxed and my time away was so enjoyable knowing that my pets and house were so well looked after. They had to deal with silly chickens not putting themselves to bed and by the time I was home they were all trained! I was sent lovely photos while I was away and when I got home the house was cleaner than when I left. They were an absolute pleasure to deal with and I would recommend them to anyone. It is incredibly reassuring having complete trust in your sitters and they give that to you, allowing you to enjoy your time away.
Mary – Brighton – 24th June 2024 – 14th July 2024
Colin and Karyo are outstanding house sitters, trustworthy, reliable, impeccably clean and tidy. They are happy to communicate with me if necessary, and will provide every kind of support. I cannot recommend them too highly, they are the best sitters I’ve ever had.
Warren – London – 15th June 2024 – 16th June 2024
Colin did a wonderful job, a real dog lover, highly recommended!
Sarah – London – 14th June 2024 – 24th June 2024
Excellent sitters. We had regular updates about the pets and felt very assured that they were happy and well cared for. Excellent communication and they took wonderful care of the house. Thoroughly recommend.
Lesley – East Wittering – 29th May 2024 – 14th June 2024
Colin and Karyo are lovely men and they took the greatest of care with my Bailey and Poppet. They are leaving today and Poppet knows and won’t leave their side – that’s the most positive thing for me. If my dogs are happy I’m happy. The house was very clean and well cared for too, that’s a bonus. I hope they will come and sit for me again. Totally reliable and lovely couple.
Michael & Simon – Manchester – 19th May 2024 – 29th May 2024
We were delighted when Colin and Karyo were able to look after Freddy and Luca again whilst we were on holiday. It’s such a comfort to know that they are so well looked after. The dogs are so relaxed with Colin and Karyoand we would have no hesitation recommending them. When we returned from holiday the house was immaculate, bedding washed, and everything so clean and tidy. Thanks again Colin and Karyo.
Dan – Birmingham – 10th May 2024 – 19th May 2024
We didn’t get to meet Karyo and Colin but all communication was smooth before and during the sit. They sent adorable cat photos and everything seemed great upon our return! They seem like trustworthy pros and I’d recommend them. Thanks for everything!
Margaret – Brighton – 29th April 2024 – 13th May 2024
What fabulous sitters Colin and Karyo are. Our cats had been really well cared for while we were away and I’m sure our house was even cleaner and tidier than when we left it! We would definitely recommend Colin and Karyo and will certainly be contacting them again when we’re next away.
Sue – Winchester – 17th April 2024 – 3rd May 2024
We feel very fortunate to have had Karyo and Colin to stay and look after Hettie. They have done over 60 sits and their calm, capable and friendly manner instilled us with confidence. They sent photos and kept us updated. We came home to an immaculate house and a happy dog. We would not hesitate to recommend them.
Jane – Winchester – 15th April 2024 – 21st April 2024
Colin and Karyo were very experienced sitters who made us feel fully confident leaving our dog, Rosie in their care. They sent regular updates and left our home clean and tidy. Rosie was relaxed on our return (as if we’d only been away a few hours!) and was happy in their company. They were both personable and unflappable. Book them if you can. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
Simon – London – 26th March 2024 – 15th April 2024
Colin and Karyo were amazing sitters for our dog Ned. It felt like they loved our dog as much as we did, evidenced by the daily updates, photos and lovely messages we received during our holiday. We were able to relax knowing that Ned was well looked after and treated like a king, with daily walks, treats and cuddles. Colin and Karyo were incredibly reliable and are communicators – both in the lead-up and during their stay. We highly recommend them as trusted and caring sitters.
Jim – Horley – 18th Feb 2024 – 25th March 2024
Colin and Karyo were a great couple to look after our cats and house. They sent regular updates and really cared for our cats. We came back to a clean house and all the bedding washed. We would definitely have them back
Mary – Brighton – 7th December 2023 – 18th January 2024
Colin and Karyo were excellent in every way, I feel very lucky that they sat in my house for six weeks. Colin, you and Karyo are five stars in every way.
Francesca – Hove – 5th January 2024 – 7th January 2024
Karyo and Colin were absolutely wonderful. They were organised, easy to communicate and very professional in their approach. Took care of Pippin, took care of the house and are completely reliable and trustworthy
Lisa & Neil – Brighton – 21st December 2023 – 27th December 2023
Karyo & Colin have been wonderful pet & house sitters. We were let down by another couple quite late & didn’t think we were going to be able to get away, but Karyo & Colin saved our Christmas! They are very experienced & I sensed that they just get on with their lives whilst taking great care of everything. I liked that they asked how much communication we wanted over the holiday too so they didn’t send too little or too much. On our return the house was clean & the cats were happy & purring. We couldn’t have asked for anything else. Perfect! Thanks both ❤️
Kate – Petersfield – 3rd December 2023 – 7th December 2023
This was my first experience of my dogs’ being at home without me and with strangers, and I was anxious on a number of levels. The outcome, though, was excellent. Colin and Karyo provided plenty of communication before, during and after the sit (they had to leave a little while before I returned). There was trial and error involved with the dogs, but my impression was that this was managed with patience. It was good to be kept in touch with the ups and downs.
Sania & Luke – London -28th November 2023 – 6th December 2023
Colin and Karyo were the dream housesitters! It was our first time having housesitters so we were nervous but they put us right at ease from the first video call we had with them and throughout. They kept us updated super regularly with incredible photos of our two cats and clearly cared for them really well – we came back to very relaxed and loving cats! They also left our home spotless which was a wonderful bonus, and are just lovely people. We hope they are free to housesit next time, and the time after that, and after that…! If these two have applied for your housesit then stop looking, you’ve found the perfect housesitters!
Bruno – London, 17th November 2023 – 28th November 2023
Colin and Karyo were absolutely incredible house and cat sitters. We felt so lucky that they chose our listing! We had wonderful daily updates on how our kittens were getting on – the cats amazingly acted like we never left on our return, which I believe speaks volumes of how well they were looked after. I would highly recommend Colin and Karyo to anyone – they even left us a lovely card and the house was in perfect condition when we got back. We were truly able to relax despite it being the first time leaving the cats – thank you!
Deya & Ajit – Amsterdam, The Netherlands – 23rd Oct 2023 – 16th Nov 2023
Colin and Kayro were very wonderful to Luna and the house. We got regular updates, they took care of her like their own. They kept the house super clean, tidy and spotless. We are lucky Colin and Kayro chose us. They are amongst the nicest human beings we have met. We would love to host them again! They left the house so organised, we are now following their way of living. Thank you, you are truly wonderful people who honestly love animals and take pet sitting seriously.
Charlotte & Greg, Manchester UK – 13th October 2023 – 22nd October 2023
Really amazing pet sitters, the house was left spotless and they were so amazing at communication!
Victoria – London, UK – 1st October 2023 – 7th October 2023
Colin and Karyo were an absolute joy and I feel extremely lucky that they were able to come and sit for me; they were extremely flexible and accommodating with what was a fairly last-minute request with some uncertainty in my dates. My puppy Penny had a wonderful time with them and the house was spotless when I got back. Thank you so much ☺️ xxx
Sue & Chris – Gerrards Cross, UK – 27th September 2023 – 1st October 2023
Having such experienced sitters was fantastic. Colin communicated really well from start to finish and we felt really confident about leaving our house and two cocker spaniels in his and Karyo’s care. We loved getting photos of the dogs while we were away, along with regular updates, and delighted to get back to a lovely clean house. Colin had even washed and dried the bedding. I would highly recommend Colin and Karyo as house sitters.
Julie – Brussels, Belgium – 27th August 2023 – 2023 – 27th September 2023
I was delighted when Colin and Karyo accepted to come and look after Snowy and Beastie for this long stay. I came home to two happy cats a lovely clean home and a lovely treat!! . I would have loved to have met them in person but arrival times and departure times didn’t match but I sincerely hope to meet them in real life in the future. The hand over of keys and communication while I was away was excellent. I loved getting the photos of the cats and updates of what Colin and Karyo had been doing. I felt so at ease while I was away knowing that they were in my home taking care of things with such detail and attention. I would recommend them to everyone. Thank you guys for everything xxx
Rebecca & Omar – Brighton, UK – 24th July 2023 – 12th August 2023
Colin looked after our two cats, gerbil and bearded dragon when we went away for 3 weeks. We were originally very worried about leaving them for so long, so it was wonderful to be able to leave them with someone so reliable, so easy to coordinate with and so nice to spend time with. He was incredibly helpful in advance – making sure he had everything he needed, and that he understood what our pets needed and their routines. He asked for very little preparation from us to make him comfortable while he stayed. And he looked after our pets very well while we were away – sending us gorgeous photos every few days (as we’d agreed). One of our cats wasn’t very well and so we left them with medication to give him while we were away. They managed that superbly, and so he was recovering well by the time we came back. He left the house super tidy (honestly it was as if no one had been here !!!). And we had a lovely catch up over coffee and shared news when we got home. I really couldn’t recommend him enough. And we’re really hoping to have him back again next year.
Mary – Brighton, UK – 19th July 2023 – 27th August 2023
Colin and Karyo have sat for me several times. They are a hundred per cent reliable and a joy to deal with. They look after my house very well and leave it immaculate. I’d recommend them to anyone
Michael & Simon – Manchester, UK – 28th June 2023 – 19th July 2023
Colin and Karyo looked after our dogs Freddy and Luca for over 2 weeks in our home in Manchester. Communication was excellent from the outset and we knew that Freddy and Luca were going to be well looked after. We received regular updates and photographs whilst we were away. When we returned the house was immaculate, the bedding had been washed and the house cleaned from top to bottom. Freddy and Luca settled straight away with Colin and Karyo and were clearly happy in their company. I would have no hesitation in recommending Colin and Karyo and would use them again without hesitation.
Anna – Leith, Edinburgh, UK – 13th June 2023 – 28th June 2023
Colin and Karyo took amazing care of my home and kitties when I was away. Before arrival, they made sure to keep regular communication so that I knew I could trust them in not letting me down. Once at my home, they would send me pictures and updates every day. I found the home clean and tidy and the kitties healthy and happy. I would definitely recommend them!
Suganandan – Stockbridge, Edinburgh, UK – 16th June 2023 – 22nd June 2023
We are extremely delighted to leave this 5-star review for Colin and Karyo, who recently provided their house-sitting and pet care services to our family during our vacation. They both demonstrated immense care, passion, and professionalism in looking after our beloved pup, Sana, and our home. Firstly, Colin and Karyo’s level of organization was nothing short of impeccable. Every detail was well taken care of, from ensuring our home was maintained, to keeping Sana’s schedule in check. Their attention to detail and structured approach to their duties allowed us to enjoy our vacation worry-free, knowing our home and Sana were in capable hands. Secondly, their manner of dealing with Sana was heartening. They managed to quickly form a strong bond with her, treating her with love and kindness, as if she were their own. Their empathy and dedication towards Sana’s well-being were clearly evident, making it evident that they don’t just view this as a job, but as a passion. One of the highlights of their service was their thoughtful and engaging “pup-dates.” They consistently updated us with charming photos and delightful anecdotes about Sana, making us feel connected and involved, despite the distance. The “pup-dates” were not just updates, they were stories that brought smiles to our faces and reassured us that Sana was enjoying herself as much as we were. Our gratitude towards Colin and Karyo for their outstanding services is immense. They have gone above and beyond in their duties, showing professionalism wrapped in a warm, friendly demeanour. It is with absolute confidence and enthusiasm that I recommend their services to anyone seeking high-quality house-sitting and pet care services. To anyone reading this review, rest assured, with Colin and Karyo, your home and pets are not just taken care of, they are cherished. Here’s to more happy vacations, knowing Colin and Karyo are there to lend a helping hand. Thank you, Colin and Karyo, for your stellar services. We look forward to having you again in the future.
Shelagh & Pauline – Scotstoun, Glasgow, UK – 27th May 2023 – 11th June 2023
This was our first time using housesitters to look after our home and, more importantly, our Labradoodle, Winnie. To say we were anxious was an understatement! Colin & Karyo were sensitive to, and very understanding of our worries. Their calm approach provided much-needed reassurance in the lead-up to the house sitting. During their stay they kept in daily contact with us, sharing photos and videos of Winnie’s daily adventures, which included wanders around the city parks, train journeys to nearby towns and the occasional visit to a local pub! These daily updates enabled us to completely relax and enjoy our trip in the full knowledge that she was in very good hands. In addition, to looking after Winnie so well, Colin & Karyo took good care of our home, including regular watering of our garden during the unexpected heatwave. When we returned to our home it was spotless. We would be delighted to have them back at some point in the future. Winnie would definitely be excited to see them again. Highly recommend them.
Andrea & Ken – Finchley, London, UK – 17th May 2023 – 27th May 2023
Colin and Karyo are just the sort of people we look for when we’re planning a trip, and we completely agree with all the other positive comments. Contact beforehand – despite their being on the other side of the world at the time – was fuss-free and they calmly accommodated our request for an in-person handover. Once here they proved to be just as receptive and kind, checking how the house works and what makes Cleo most happy, and she was obviously quickly at ease with them. They work very well as a team and create a very capable but relaxed atmosphere. It was a pleasure to spend some time with them before our trip, and our conversations revealed how much they enjoy sharing their adventures, and that they really bond with the animals they look after. We left knowing everything was in safe hands. Updates while we were away were, as per our preference, occasional and relevant, and we came home to a (very!) clean house, a well-watered garden and a happy cat. These gents are much in demand so if you are lucky enough to match up with them, suggest you grab the opportunity. We look forward to seeing them again!
Debbie – Coledale, Sydney, Australia – 27th April 2023 – 16th May 2023
Colin and Karyo were the perfect house sitters. They stayed in my cottage and minded my two boys Luka and Alfie whilst I was away for 3 weeks. The cats were very happy and the cottage was very neat and tidy on my return. Thanks Colin and Karyo!!
Peter & Kazuyo – Bondi, Sydney, Australia – 2nd April 2023 – 27th April 2023
Colin and Karyo are not only pet-house sitters but they are almost family. They were serious about their responsibility and caring house and our dog with their pride. Such people are priceless these days. During our holiday, they sent us messages about how our dog and house were. When I came back from holiday, our house was impeccable, and also our dog was healthy and clean as well. Our neighbours also praise their communication and friendliness. I wish they meet many lovely house-pet owners.
Natallie & Richard – Albury, NSW, Australia – 14th March 2023 – 2nd April 2023
Fabulous, wonderful, amazing … we could go on. Colin & Karyo are two of the nicest people you could hope to meet, and ‘bonus’, they were brilliant house & dog sitters. Tigga our dog loved them, and our sheep were all present and accounted for. They cared for our home, plants & garden just as we would, and we came home to a clean and tidy home, linen washed, lawns mown and everything as it should be. And a very relaxed and happy dog. If you want two friendly, trustworthy, clean & tidy, lovely people to look after your pets and home, look no further than Colin & Karyo. We absolutely recommend them.
Andrew & Olivia – Footscray, Melbourne, Australia – 27th Feb 2023 – 14th March 2023
Colin and Karyo were excellent! It was such a pleasure to deal with them the entire process – from our initial meeting to after we returned. We really appreciated this as it was our first experience using sitters. Colin and Karyo took wonderful care of our dog, Fern, and our two cats, Rizzo and Biscuits. We loved the regular updates and photos – we were relaxed on our trip knowing that our dear pets were in good hands. The house was very clean and tidy on our return, with the beds freshly made and the pets very happy! I would absolutely recommend Colin and Karyo to anyone and wouldn’t hesitate to have them sit for us again. A great first experience for us – thank you!
Megan – Frankston, Melbourne, Australia – 24th Feb 2023 – 27th Feb 2023
Colin and Karyo recently looked after my cat Augustus for a weekend. They were very amenable and easy to deal with. Augustus was very well cared for and the house was clean and tidy on my return. I would highly recommend Colin and Karyo for any future House Sits.
Carolina and Ian – Fitzroy, Melbourne, Australia – 18th Feb 2023 – 25th Feb 2023
I feel very lucky and grateful to have had Colin and Karyo petsit for me. It was the first time I was leaving my two-year-old lovebird alone while on holiday and I was a little anxious at the prospect of leaving her with strangers. But Colin and Karyo were perfect and very caring, asking all the right questions and being very accommodating. They sent regular updates and photos and it sounded like they had plenty of fun with her too! As housesitters, they were absolutely incredible, leaving my apartment in a better state than they found it – clean sheets, wiped down the kitchen and vacuumed floors. I would have them as pet/housesitters again in a heartbeat. Thank you for making this a stress-free experience for my little pet bird and me.
Julie & Colin – Napier, New Zealand – 16th Jan 2023 – 16th Feb 2023
Colin and Karyo were our choice, from many who replied, to look after our house, vehicles and plants. We couldn’t have asked for better people to do the job. We met them the day before we left for a month overseas and immediately felt comfortable with them taking over our home. We hardly gave them or the house a thought until a cyclone hit and they were without power, wifi or phone! We arrived home and had tea cooked for us on a portable gas cooker, to everything just as we had left it. What great house sitters! We loved them and would welcome them back any time.
Mark & Lottie – Halswell, New Zealand – 16th Dec 2022 – 15th Jan 2023
So lucky to have found Colin and Karyo to house and pet sit for us. We loved receiving some photos of our dog when we were away, and he was well looked after. They used our car and made sure it was clean, well looked after and replaced the petrol used. They left our house so neat and tidy and they were so thoughtful in leaving us a card, chocolates and a T towel when we arrived back from our holiday. Great communication throughout. Would totally recommend Colin and Karyo.
Vicki & Kris – Sumner, New Zealand – 7th December 2022 – 11th December 2022
Colin and Karyo were the perfect house sitters. Really couldn’t fault them. Highly recommend!
Maureen – Gisborne, New Zealand – 18th November 2022 – 7th December 2022
I would like to thank Colin and Karyo for staying at my home to look after my fur babies. They are very friendly, trusting and clean. They offered to keep me up to date with pictures and messages on a daily basis if I required. I would recommend them for any task they applied for I would most certainly have them back.
Mary – Brighton, United Kingdom – 10 September 2022 – 18 Oct 2022
Colin and Karyo are two of the best house sitters I have had. They are very friendly, organised to deal with, flexible, and look after the house excellently. I would have no hesitation in choosing them to sit for me again, nor to recommend them to other people needing a sitter.
Justine & Pete – Brighton, United Kingdom – 1 August 2022 – 10 September 2022
Colin and Karyo were absolutely fantastic, we’re so glad we found them! They were super lovely, really great with our dog and left the house beautifully tidy and clean. We received regular messages and updates including photos while we were away and they even sorted out some of our neighbour’s issues, which they really didn’t have to do! They went above and beyond and we would welcome them back any time to house and dog-sit for us. Hopefully, we’ll see them again! My highest recommendation for Colin and Karyo, what stars 🌟
Gavin & Cece – Brighton, United Kingdom – 1 August 2022 – 8 August 2022
Colin & Karyo were the perfect house sitters. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to friends and certainly hope they can look after our house and pets next time we go abroad. This was the first time we had ever used professional housesitters, and so we were a little nervous, but we needn’t have been. The house was immaculate, our pets settled and contended, and our neighbours happy. Five stars all around.
Annie – Brighton, United Kingdom – 27 July 2022 – 1 August 2022
Colin and Karyo are such a lovely couple who are clearly animal lovers. Mooshki cat was at ease with them very quickly, which is unusual for her as she is normally very cautious with strangers. Colin and Karyo sent me updates so I knew Mooshki was happy and content. When I returned home, it was tidier than when I went away! I highly recommend Colin and Karyo to any future hosts. You will be lucky to have them. Thank you again 😊🐈
Sirpa & Fletch – Brighton, United Kingdom – 15 July 2022 – 29 July 2022
We had the pleasure of being able to welcome Colin and Karyo to come and look after our two furry kids (cats) and our home (in which renovations weren’t quite finished yet, didn’t phase them though) for two weeks while we went abroad. I know they’re now booked up until the end of the year, but if you’re lucky enough to grab ’em for 2023, then genuinely look no further! They’re friendly, have an ace sense of humour, are relaxed just in the right measures and we got daily updates on how our ‘monkeys’ were doing in their care (read: very well). Our home was immaculate on our return, everything was in its place and while the furries were happy we were back, they had clearly had a relaxing and trouble-free time in Colin and Karyo’s care. I wish we could book the guys again, but they’re like gold dust ’round here – so go for it if you’re given the opportunity!
Mary – Brighton, United Kingdom – 17 June 2022 – 16 July 2022
Colin and Karyo were the best possible sitters: helpful, courteous and efficient. They looked after my house immaculately and were a pleasure to deal with. I’m delighted they are sitting for me again later in the year, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
Mary – Leeds, United Kingdom – 18 May 2022 – 8 June 2022
I highly recommend Colin and Karyo as housesitters. They are a very warm, friendly couple who obviously love animals, especially cats! They bonded very quickly with Blue, my ragdoll cat, sending regular updates and photos. The house was immaculately clean on my return, all bedding washed and dried. I am very sorry that they are unable to housesit for me again in September because of being fully booked until November.

An absolute dream from start to finish. Delightful people, with a genuine concern and love for animals. Karyo came down the night before I left as I was leaving very early the next day, ensuring there was a bit of a crossover, which was very helpful. Grey Cat was slightly ill, but I knew he was in safe hands so I could relax completely when I was away. Regular updates and a tidy, clean house on my return. Couldn’t have asked for more. Would have them back in a heartbeat.

The BEST … I can’t thank them both enough. Colin & Karyo came the night before as we had to leave at 2 am in the morning they had dinner with us, they are warm and friendly… knew my doggies would be in the safest hands. Had daily contact, and photos, and couldn’t have wished for better people to stay at my home and look after my doggies. Came back to clean beds, and clean house it was perfect 👌 Feel like we are actually friends, said they can come and stop over any time there in Sheffield Love them ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Colin and Karyo are lovely people and great sitters. Pre-visit communication was good, they settled in very quickly and we had regular updates whilst away. We came back to a very clean house (they had even already done their washing) and a happy cat. Would be delighted to have them sit for us again.

STOP and don’t even look any further! Colin and Kayro are the best house sitters anybody could possibly dream of. They kept me updated, mowed our lawn liaised with various 3rd parties on our behalf and left the house spotless. The moment I met Colin who came first I knew my animals were in the best hands. So much so that my dog who is obsessed with me was still looking for Colin when we returned after being away for a month. We also have 3 cats and everybody was as happy as can be when we got home 💗 thank u from the bottom of our hearts Colin & Kayro we hope to have you back soon! Safe travels.
Tom & Kim – East Grinstead, United Kingdom – 4 March 2022 – 3 April 2022
Colin & Karyo we’re our first sitters and couldn’t have been better! We had a really nice introduction call and from then on it was plain sailing. We felt at ease handing over the keys and could go on holiday knowing the house and Beau were in good hands. They sent regular updates and pics and it was nice to see how Beau was getting on and what Colin & Karyo had managed to visit. On our return, the house was really tidy and you couldn’t really tell anyone had been there! We were lucky to get such great sitters for our first sit, couldn’t recommend higher 🙂
Beata – Romford, United Kingdom – 23 February 2022 – 3 March 2022
For my first time using a house sitter I wanted someone with good experience and good reviews. I picked Guys as they had both and I can say that it was more like having friends over than complete strangers. Colin and Karyo were great! From the first WhatsApp video call until the last day when we were saying goodbye. They kept me informed with pictures of my fur babies, the flat was clean when I came back and they were a pleasure to talk to. The only thing is that Fluffy looks a bit sad now – do you think he misses them? 😄 Loved the experience and would definitely recommend them!

Colin and Karyo were great houseguests. They took good care of our cat Blue and sent us regular photos and updates. They were also very communicative and organized.
Nancy & Al – Manchester, United Kingdom – 17 November 2021 – 21 November 2021
Thank you, Colin and Karyo for being such fantastic sitters. We had regular updates, lovely messages and photos while we were away, Peanut was obviously having the best time with her new friends 🥰 And we came home to a sparkling clean house! I highly recommend Colin and Karyo for future sits
Kate & Neil – London, United Kingdom – 29 October 2021 – 7 November 2021
The fabulous Colin and Karyo cat and house sat for us for 8 days over October / November this year. The moment we met on Zoom we knew they’d be the right fit for our furry brood, such a lovely couple who clearly cared, loved and entertained our little Chubsters the moment they arrived🥰. The whole experience was effortless, seamless, worry-free and we had plenty of WhatsApp updates to boot! The flat was spotless when we returned home and a beautiful bunch of flowers and card were waiting for us on the dining table! Wholeheartedly recommend, thanks, guys! 🙌

If Colin has applied for your sit, you are very fortunate because I couldn’t recommend him more highly! I wasn’t able to meet Colin or Caryo before we went away but spoke to him on the telephone He was extremely personable, answering all my questions and sounded very responsible and reassuring. Whilst we were abroad, he kept me updated with pictures of my pets and it was clear that they were being very well looked after. We came home after a slight delay and they had kindly stayed to welcome us back despite needing to be at their next house sit. Roxy the dog and Greco the cat were very happy and content. The house was immaculate with all the bedding cleanly laundered and back on the bed. My husband was thrilled because they had also picked up all the leaves in the garden!!!! Thank you so much for looking after our house and pets as if it was your own. Hope to see you again very soon!

Colin and Karyo were great sitters. Very friendly and courteous, and took great care of the cats, fish and house. We came back to flowers on the dining table and a clean and tidy house. Colin even cut the grass! Great communication throughout, I would endorse them for any house sit.
Sarah – Chippenham, United Kingdom – 28 August 2021 – 1 October 2021
Colin and Karyo looked after the cats and the house beautifully. They took on the household for 5 weeks and did a great job. They kept me up to date with everything. They had great patience with our semi-feral cat and made friends with him – quite an achievement. All aspects of the house were in great shape when we got back. It was great to have the opportunity to meet them both and have some time face-to-face. I have no hesitation at all in recommending them – kind, friendly and caring people. I am hoping they will be able to come back next time we go away!!
Georgina – Watford, United Kingdom – 29 July 2021 – 22 August 2021
My first experience of having pet/house sitters could not have been any better! From the very start, the communication with Colin and Karyo was great. We had messages and phone calls before the sit started and I felt at ease immediately and it just felt right. During their 3 week stay, we had regular contact with them sending photos and updates of all my animals. They even kindly fed my neighbours fish when they went away. They left everything clean and tidy and I loved some of the rearrangements they did! 🙂 I have already asked them to come back whenever they can as it would be such a relief going away again knowing they would be looking after my home and pets. Could not have wished for better sitters!
David & Gill – West Wickham, United Kingdom – 23 July 2021 – 31 July 2021
Colin and Karyo were wonderful sitters. They clearly have empathy with animals and our cats took to them both. The house was clean and tidy when we returned and their bedding was already in the washing machine. It had rained heavily while we were away, and Karyo had very thoughtfully turned off our automatic watering system – we really appreciated that. They were excellent sitters, and we hope that we’ll be seeing them again!
Georgina & Max – London, United Kingdom – 12 July 2021 – 25 July 2021
Colin & Karyo were quite simply marvellous! From our first communication with them I felt we had struck gold. So quick to respond and so flexible and understanding when we didn’t know whether we would be able to go away or not with the whole COVID situation. During the sit they kept us informed daily with photos of our cats and little amusing updates which kept us reassured that all was well at home. We returned to an immaculate house. Possibly more immaculate than we had left it! Certainly more tidy – our shelves have never looked so good. We would thoroughly recommend Colin & Karyo for any house sit. Although we are slightly worried that they are so good that they will never be free again to come to us! Fingers crossed we will be able to book them again for our next trip.
Lucy – Walthamstow, United Kingdom – 30 June 2021 – 4 July 2021
Colin and Kayro sat with my two cats while I was away. They were a pleasure and fantastic throughout – great communication leading up to the sit. I felt at ease and extremely comfortable with them in my home with regard to updates. The house was left clean and tidy, I couldn’t ask for more. I’d welcome them back anytime! Highly recommend
Michael – Towcester, United Kingdom – 28 May 2021 – 27 June 2021
Colin and Karyo were just excellent. They were able to sit at the last minute after I was let down by one house sitter. They let me know of their arrival time and were completely reliable in all aspects. They were very polite, friendly, and courteous and asked all the right questions when we had a chat initially. On arrival, we met up and they were lovely. I was away for 4 weeks and I received regular updates on mistletoe – she seemed much happier with them than I! Was great to know both she and the house were being looked after. Completely self-sufficient as a couple – did not require anything from me at all. I have come back to an amazingly clean house, my plants in the back garden are thriving, my patio, table etc all look so much cleaner and more inviting than when I left and my cat mistletoe is a very happy little girl. Would completely recommend Colin and Karyo 100%.
