Brandi took great care of our house, 3 cats, and garden during the latter part of a week long sit. Despite not being able to greet her in person (since we split the sit into two segments), Brandi handled things like a pro. She FaceTimed us upon arrival to go over details, and found one of our cats, Lil, who was hiding after being spooked since the previous sitter left that morning. Brandi coaxed Lil out from under the bed and gave her a late breakfast, which made us feel at ease. She also sent a video of our elder cat Neil coughing, just to make sure it was normal, which we really appreciated. Brandi sent us regular photos and updates, and as she got more comfortable, let two of the cats outside to have some supervised play time in the nice weather. She was attentive, self-sufficient, asked great questions, and made sure the cats didn't eat each others' food! She seemed to grow more comfortable daily, even saying she loves our little prancess, Lil, who can be tricky sometimes! Additionally, she watered our young trees and some new transplants when requested, as we were concerned about the lack of rain during the week. We also appreciated Brandi's open communication, particularly when a concern came up for us, and we were able to work together to resolve it quickly. We came home to a clean and tidy house, happy cats, and a little homemade treat she left for us. We'd be happy to have her sit for us again. Thanks, Brandi!

McKenzie and Patrick were wonder house/pet sitters. The house was so clean to the point I felt bad they must have been cleaning all day. Their communication was also great. Thank you for staying at our house!

I had a lovely stay! The apartment is in an ideal location and the cats were a breeze to take care of. Also kept in touch with the owners throughout my stay and experienced no problems whatsoever. Happy to recommend 😊

Fatema
I had a great time sitting for Fatema and Matteo, who were super kind and welcoming. Neville is a very sweet and well-behaved kitty who will start cuddling next to you on the first day, and we had lots of fun together.

Bridget and Dominic are such wonderfully kind and supportive hosts. We were greeted with a lovely dinner that met our dietary requirements with no issues. They helped us feel familiar with the house, Tarka and Inka, as well as provide suggestions on what to see that's around. They also recommended us the pub down the road which we'll definitely visit again if we're near. While they were away, communication was very quick when we needed them, and they were on a boat!

Their home is gorgeous and wonderfully situated for a variety of walks with Inka. The neighborhood is very friendly too and gave us additional advice on where to go. We particularly loved walking up the old railway and into the woods. 

Tarka is a very loving and handsome boy who is always acceptive of a scratch. His first love is definitely food and he'll drool in anticipation while you prepare his dinner. Inka is hilarious and kind natured. She can be stubborn going in some directions, but with a pocketful of small cat biscuits you can tempt her your way and she's all smiles again. Loved going in the car with us and was so quiet and restful till we got to our destination where she suddenly transformed into a giant puppy. 

Would definitely recommend Bridget and Dominic; Tarka and Inka; and the area they live in.

It was a pleasure to stay in Alistair and Bianca's flat. They're a cool couple, polite and easy-going; their place looks great (we loved the decoration) and it's right next to the Thames. Conections to central London are close by. 
Morty is very gentle, super easy to look after. It won't take long to have him as your friend and companion.
Thank you A&B for your trust! 100% recommended

Our experience taking care of Millie & Co was absolutely delightful. The house was lovely, with a fantastic garden and conveniently located near various walking routes in nature.

Millie was an absolute pleasure to be around - she was affectionate, endearing, and hilarious. When it was time to say goodbye, I couldn't help but shed a tear!

The cats were also wonderful - they were independent but would occasionally come for a snuggle before venturing off to do their own thing.

Kate and Steve were incredibly hospitable, making us feel right at home. Their communication leading up to and during our stay was exceptional.

Overall, we highly recommend this Trusted House Sitter opportunity to anyone in search of a memorable and enjoyable experience.

Thank you Guys:)

Natalie, her fur babies, her home/neighborhood/city were the best! If you're seeking a zen-like home, easy-to-work with/responsive/kind owner, and great pets, don't look any further.

Natalie was very accommodating, flexible, and understanding --- and a great baker :) I love Ruby -- she is very affectionate and loves being brushed. We spent time together in the backyard. Poppy recently had surgery and was a lil' champ. I loved caring for her while she was on the up with recovery. Fuzzy was sweet and skittish and is a perfect companion for Poppy.  

Natalie deserves all of the glowing reviews -- she is the best!
