If there were more than five stars Elaine would certainly have been awarded them all. In fact Elaine was just that-a star of a sitter! From first communications to her arrival on the island everything was clear, easy, straight forward and super organised and this was how her whole sit at my home proceeded through to the very end. Elaine was an absolute pleasure to meet and to talk with. She seemed to instantly fit into her new surroundings whilst at the same time showing exactly the right amount of curiosity and enthusiasm. I had absolutely no qualms about leaving my home, my beloved Stan and my selection of plants in her extremely capable hands knowing she would care for hem all as if they were her very own. Greece had one of its longest heatwaves during Elaine's stay and she made sure that Stan and my plants more than survived but thrived. She would send adorable photos of Prince Stan regularly and even commissioned an absolutely wonderful portrait of him from a local artist which left me lost for words. She also composed a really gorgeous bouguet of dried wild grasses and flowers from her ventures into the island's countryside as a gift for me. These treasures were so incredibly generous and thoughtful -but that is Elaine ! I feel like I have been lucky enough to have made a friend -something which can't be given a rating or a score If Elaine offers to house and pet sit for you do NOT think twice-she is the real deal and anyone would be blessed to have her house/pet sit for them! Thank you Elaine!

David & Heather
David and Heather were fantastic hosts and I had a really nice week looking after Monty.
The house is spacious and has all the latest mod cons to make the stay extremely comfortable.
Monty is the perfect walking companion and as a typical Retriever is extremely firendly with other dogs and owners alike! There are fantastic walks right from the door down to the canal and surrounding areas so this is a perfect sit for those who like exploring on foot (including canal side pubs!)
I met up with David a few days before the sit and he had prepared a very thorough guide for looking after Monty and the house and was very pleasant to deal with.
I would gladly come back to sit and can recommend it to any other sitters!

Brenda
We had a beautiful time with Sage, Magic and Smoky! The dogs are very cute, but a bit shy - so they needed a day to warm up. The cat is really easy to handle :) The house is very beautiful in a calm neighbourhood and we enjoyed the Hot Tub. The communication was easy and good. We really recommend it!

Cathy
A fabulous house-sit!  Our time here was about as perfect as house-sits come!

Cathy and Jay treated us so well – we felt welcome in their home and were encouraged to use all the luxuries their newer home offers.  The views from the home are stunning.  We enjoyed our meals on the deck (comfortable temperatures outside in November!), observing all the birds that visit their bird-feeders and the wildlife passing by in the open space visible from their home.  

Communication was smooth and easy.  Their on-boarding briefing was detailed, thorough, and very professional.  During their trip they responded promptly to any comment or picture we sent – they were always available and we enjoyed their good humor and jovial communication style.

The cats are probably the best cats anywhere, ever.  Cloud is affectionate and is usually close enough to trip over.  Jeni enjoys play (she loves her tunnel!), and slept on our bed with us most nights.  They know to come inside in the evening and we had no difficulty locating them in the house or nearby in the yard during the day.

Our short house-sit was over much too quickly.  Great hosts, an amazing home, and loving pets make this a gem of a house-sit which is easy to recommend and one we would enthusiastically repeat.

Harriet
Housesitting with Harriet is wonderful! The apartment is modern and beautifully furnished. We felt right at home. The location of the apartment is great, just a few minutes walk from the beach. And last but not least, of course, remains Bimba, who is a very dear dog. The walks with her are great fun. At home she was very quiet and liked to cuddle. The communication with Harriet went flawlessly, she always answered our questions quickly. Harriet, thank you so much for the housesit with you, we would come back anytime!

Richard and Julia
We had such a lovely time house sitting in Julia and Richard's beautful home.  They made us very welcome and it was lovely to spend the evening with them before they went on holiday.  Lettice is the sweetest dog!  She has a lovely temperament, she's very affectionate and lots of fun!  She was so easy to look after and we enjoyed many days out with her.  The views from Julia and Richard's house are stunning!  We enjoyed  exploring the surrounding area - lots of delightful villages to visit. We particularly enjoyed taking Lettice to the beautiful Lac Sainte Croix and the breathtaking Gorge Du Verdon.  We are  missing Lettice  - she is adorable!

Stamie
I thoroughly enjoyed staying in Stamie’s amazing apartment and looking after the gorgeous Elvis.
Stamie was very welcoming and although we had met previously and spent some time together (as I live on a Greek island), nevertheless, she took me out for a superb meal the evening before the start of the assignment. 
Stamie’s apartment has a full view of the marina and the open sea and is well placed for everything you might need such as supermarkets, shops, transport links etc. The tram to several beaches down the coast is a short walk away and Athens city is a short metro journey away.
Elvis is a delightful dog and it was a joy to look after him and enjoy his company. He is easy to take care of and has a huge personality. I loved our walks around the marina which has a vibrant buzz.
I would totally endorse the previous 5 star reviews and look forward to meeting Stamie and Elvis again.
Highly recommended sit!!
