Joseph took care of our cat and house-sat for us for 2 weeks. In advance of our trip, we were able to do both a virtual and in-person meet and greet to ensure everyone felt comfortable and do a walk through of the house, which we really appreciated.While we were away, Joseph responded quickly to texts/any questions we sent and provided photo and text updates every 1-2 days. Upon our return, our cat seemed happy. Unfortunately, the day of our return, Joseph accidentally locked himself out of our house. He communicated with us and we were able to provide him access to a backup key. However, when we returned home about an hour and a quarter later, we were surprised to find that he was still there (he was supposed to have left much earlier in the day before we arrived home, and we knew he was running a little behind because of the lockout, but he didn’t tell us he would still be there when we walked in). He texted us that the house was clean and ready for us, but unfortunately the house was not clean and the cat litter boxes were quite smelly and appeared not to have been changed or scooped in many days. While we realize that getting locked out of the house created some delays in getting packed and tidying the house, we were upset to find the kitty litter in that state and for the clear disorganization, at least in the final day. We provided this feedback directly to Joseph and hope that this was a one-time experience. However, we would urge clear communication around any expectations for cleaning, communication, and care.

We are so happy that we chose Mariam and John to look after our cat and house!  They arrived on the Friday afternoon for a whistle-stop tour of the house, but sadly the kitty hid under the bed!  There was no need to worry about our guests and pet getting along though, because before long I had a photo on my phone of Ivy nestling on John's lap on the sofa.  The three of them proceeded to have a lovely time together, many cuddles, and snoozes, and purrings, all documented on Mariam's regular WhatsApp messages and photos, which assured us that all was well at home.  

Mariam and John treated our house with great respect and care, always asking questions if they weren't sure about anything, and before leaving they made sure the house was super-clean and tidy, not a thing out of place!  In fact John's cleaning of our bathroom was of five-star quality - the bath sparkled like it was fresh from the B&Q showroom.  And they left a lovely bunch of flowers on the kitchen table. 

In summary, you couldn't pick better house-sitters than Mariam and John.  Right from the start we knew that here we had such lovely, friendly and relaxed people, who would care for our little pet and her home with such dedication and love.  Thanks so much, M and J!

David arrived for a run through of everything before I left. There was an instant bond with Blue and it was very obvious he liked animals. I only met Rakhee briefly when I returned but she kept in touch with me while I was away and they sent me photos. The house was as I left it and they both seemed a very kind, considerate couple. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
