Biggest thanks Jack. Would totally recommend to anyone with no hesitation. Jack goes above and beyond. Loves animals, extremely clean and tidy as well as a handyman, the perfect sitter. We came home from our overseas trip, opened the door and smiled. Too easy.

Jack was very friendly and keen. He installed a doorstop which has been a massive improvement for our daily routine. There was a huge amount of work to do here on our block and a failing milking machine made it that much harder for Jack but he was able to navigate that problem too. We really appreciate everything Jack did for us so we could get away for a precious holiday.

Jack was a great housesitter, truly a dog whisperer! He was really good with our two dogs, one of which was out of sorts and injured - but we had no qualms leaving him with Jack. As an extra bonus, he fixed our doorstops, which we were super grateful for! Thanks so much, Jack!

Jack is a gem! He genuinely loves animals, especially dogs. He was very accommodating about meeting our dogs and cats before the housesit, and is great company to boot! Jack had to deal with a very challenging situation with our housesit, and we are very grateful for his compassion and willingness to go to extra lengths to help us deal with it. We always felt he had our animals best interests at heart. Thank you, Jack! Very happy to recommend Jack...in fact he is looking after our pets again ... MORE

Jack was such a great house and pet sitter.. We came home to a lovely clean and tidy home and 2 dogs that were very happy and content with Jack. I'm pretty certain they didn't mind us leaving them at all. I see a real dog lover in Jack and he has a really good way with them. He took them on lots of walks. Jack is very friendly and easy to chat to. We would have Jack back in a heartbeat. Thankyou for such a worry free 2 weeks Jack.

YOUR RESPONSE: We are so lucky to have met Jack, a wonderful dog whisperer. Our dogs instantly fell in love with Jack, and he handled the 3 girls easily. It's so lovely to come home to well exercised, happy dogs. We appreciated the effort Jack put in to come early, and walk with us, to learn each dog's personality. Sadly we only have 2 dogs now, but Jack has also been instrumental in helping our dogs adjust to the change. We also really enjoy catching up with Jack, at the end of sits, as he ... MORE

Jack did a great job with our two rescue dogs. Harvey and Titan were both relaxed and happy.Jack was obviously a great dog person.He took the time to work with their little quirks and insecurities that come with having a bad start. Can definitely recommend Jack as a dog sitter:) House and horses were all good too.
