Finding someone we could trust to care for our home and respect our privacy was our top priority. With Ed, it felt like a member of the family was there. He sent us a picture every day, and when our icemaker broke, he handled it immediately—so well, in fact, that we kept receiving mail addressed to ‘Ed Housitter’ for years! His attention to detail and genuine care are unmatched. We’ve trusted Ed with our pets and home for over 20 years, and I’ve recommended him to many others, all of whom have had nothing but high praise. Try him—you’ll be so glad you did!

Pet & Home Care Reviews
Ed has been a trusted pet sitter for years, and I always feel 100% confident leaving my home and pets in his care. He is reliable, always on time, and communicates any concerns right away. I never have to worry while I’m away, knowing everything is in good hands.
Absolute tranquility—that’s what it feels like knowing Ed is taking care of our pets and home. His daily updates gave us complete peace of mind, and knowing our house was safe made our vacation even better. If you’re lucky enough to book Ed, you’ll never worry about your pets while traveling again!
Our biggest concern was our new dog—he was a handful, and we needed someone experienced. Ed came highly recommended, and he exceeded our expectations.
He took the time to visit twice before our trip to ensure a smooth transition. Throughout our time away, he sent regular updates and photos, and when we returned, our home was spotless, the garden looked amazing, and the bedding was freshly washed.
Ed is truly conscientious, and we returned to a happy dog, a thriving home, and total peace of mind!
