Maggie watched our 2 year old golden retriever while we were out of the country for 9 days. She was very self reliant and took great care of Max and our home. She communicated well with us leading up to the trip, was responsive during the trip and left our house clean and with fresh linens. Thanks Maggie!
Papaya is a very sweet dog who definitely knows what she wants. It took about three days for her to warm up to me, as she can be quite anxious. I found that if I took her for longer walks, if we were going to be away from the home for more than 3 hours, that seemed to really help her with the anxiousness. Overall, I think she is a very good dog who just needs some extra love while Micah is away. Micah and his dad, Ken, who lives next door were very accommodating and helped us out whenever we needed it. Lastly, the yard in the area is an absolute dream and I could have spent all day outside. I appreciate your kindness with helping us out with an extra bed. I would definitely love to help out again if needed. Thank you so much!
Mary and I had a wonderful few days at Lindsay and Nigel's farm. It is situated in a beautiful spot, Ardmore Point, and there is a stunning walk around the headland from the property. Lindsay made us really welcome, showing us around her lovely home, introducing us to Daisy and Teenie. Daisy is really sweet- natured, well-behaved and a great walker - a delightful dog. Teenie tends to do her own thing, as cats do, and Daisy and her got on fine. I thoroughly recommend this sit and we would be more than willing to help out in future. Thanks very much, Lindsay, for a lovely sunny break in Argyll. Patrick
Jenny and Paddy gave me a warm welcome by inviting me to dinner when I arrived which I appreciated after a long day at work. The home was very comfortable and perfect location to walk to the train station and into town. The cats were the easiest cats to look after and just had one meal in the morning. They would be out most of the day and didn’t want to sit and watch tv with me in the evening so didn’t have the opportunity for any chance of any cuddles at all which would have been nice. Both Eric and Ernie are quite skittish and nervous and prefer to be left alone once fed. Really enjoyed my stay and would love to sit again in the future.
Caroline is warm and welcoming, and she felt like an old friend within minutes of arriving at her home. She left clear instructions, touched base daily while away and was readily available if I had any questions. Mack is the sweetest boy. He is calm, cuddly and so well behaved. He walks well on leash and is friendly with everyone he meets along the way. Caroline’s beautiful home is located in a charming, old area of Stratford, with everything you need within walking distance. I have always loved this little town, and it was fun experiencing it as a local, discovering new parks and trails while exploring with Mack. I very much enjoyed this sit and highly recommend it for others.
Nice little cat sit with convenient public transport to Dublin City. Smokey is a very relaxed cat. Enjoys a lot of affection. Takes injected medication easily and is not a bother. Kate is an easy, organised communicator and check-ins regularly as she misses her fur baby a lot so likes updates with photographs or videos. Apartment is comfortable and close. Recommend this sit for those wanting a short stay in Dublin
What a sweet stay! Betsy and Erin were incredible hosts! They stayed in great communication with me and gave me all the information I needed both before my stay and during my stay. They even have a booklet that had everything in writing, a huge help! Their home is in THE BEST part of Portland. So many walkable places, both for food and scenery. I had the best time taking both Atticus and Mr. Kim on our walks around the neighborhood, the homes are SO unique and beautifully decorated. Those walk with the boys were a treat in itself. And the pups?! Oh my goodness, what angels. Atticus was the ideal dog. He is the perfect mix of being the protector of the house and the most loving sweetie as soon as he gets to know you. He is intelligent and knows how to read the room. When I needed to work, he gave me space and wouldn’t be in my face like a lot of dogs can be. He is super chill and loves to play ball. They have a fenced in yard which makes both playing both and taking the dogs out super accessible. Mr. Kim is the chillest and the realest! He sleeps majority of the day and will let you know when he needs to go outside (or when it’s food time!). Since he is an old fella, care for him is important. I recently had a 17 year old pup and he reminded me so much of her! Being able to carry him around like I did coco, really made the stay special. I would absolutely recommend this stay for anyone wanting to stay in a great neighborhood, with the sweetest home owners and pups!
