Chrystle was so nice and very kind. Her home is beautiful with plenty of space. Everything is organized and clean. Her pets are amazing. All three are big on cuddling. Just so sweet. Chrystles' gives clear instructions on how to care for her plants/garden. We enjoyed our stay.
I had a great time sitting for Charlotte in her lovely home near Wimbledon Park. The flat is very comfortable and nicely furnished. I slept well in the spacious en suite bedroom and it was great to have a desk to work from. The area is lovely, close to the park, cafes, and restaurants. Charlotte left clear instructions in the welcome guide. The stars of the show were Bella and Rufus the beautiful cats. Bella was very shy at first hiding in the wardrobe but eventually playing with me and watching me work in the bedroom. Rufus likes to nuzzle against my legs or climb on the desk whilst I was working. They are both adorable kitties and get along well together. This is a quality sit and I would be happy to sit for Charlotte again.
Sitting Coco was just the biggest pleasure! She is so playful and cuddly and will snuggle up with you wherever you sit or lay down. The location is perfect and close to buses and a train station. The communication with Gina was clear and uncomplicated. I would do a sit with them again whenever I can :)
We got to meet Cally, her husband Justin, and their two girls before they left for their trip. They are very nice, friendly people and made us feel right at home! Their neighborhood is surrounded by trails of all difficulties and lengths, with amazing views, so there’s always something to do right then and there. We got to see deer closer than ever before several times during our stay, which was very cool! They’d come and walk around the house, so we could see them from the porch. We also got to see snow when we got there, and it snowed a little bit the night before we left - we had never seen snow before so this was quite nice! Their home is very spacious and absolutely beautiful! And their pets make it even better! Benelli was very playful and always excited to come along on anything I was doing, and Ghost was a funny and curious little guy always ready to receive pets. Both would follow us around the house wherever we went. During the day they would be around us while we worked on our laptops, and at night both of them would come snuggle with us on the couch while we watched some TV. We took Benelli on a couple of scenic walks around the neighborhood and he very much enjoyed them! During the last day of our stay I unfortunately wasn’t feeling very well, so we had to call off our plans, but Benelli and Ghost were both great and definitely cheered me up when I wasn’t feeling my best - Benelli snuggled up with me during my almost-all-day-long napping state, and Ghost would come check on my every so often for some pets and nap on the foot of the bed. They were both amazing companions ❤️ We’re so thankful to Cally and her husband for trusting us with their home and their pets!
Mimi was a delight to sit for. He is a young, playfull and funny kitten. You never get bored when he is around. It was very difficult to leave him behind. Maud was very responsive. She has a very warmhearted caring personality who was always available. The little villa is lovely and perfectly located in a quiet neigbourhood. We can highly recommend this sit and hope to see all of them again when there is an opportunity. Thank you very much Maud for having us. Give Mimi a big hug and cuddles from both of us.
Mim was absolutely wonderful and Kismet was lovely to look after. Mim communicated clearly and gave lots of great information about Kismet, her home and the area. Kismet is so sweet and cuddly! I would absolutely recommend Mim and Kismet
