Emily was with our pets Jimmy the cat and Carola, our dog for a 2 month stay while we were away in Spain. She was wonderful with them and they were well cared for and happy when we returned. Emily fell ill her first week sitting but we were able to send Carola to a local dog-walker/sitter for a few days while she rested and recuperated from a very bad flu. Jimmy stayed home and kept her company. Cats are easier to care for even when sick. The house was in order also with the aid of our housekeeper who helped out and knows exactly how and where things are kept and organized. Not speaking Italian may have been somewhat of an issue when problems arose but we have very helpful neighbors, hence the 4 star for self-sufficiency due to the language barrier. I'm certain she's perfectly self sufficient in English speaking situations. We did have an electrical problem when a fuse unexpectedly blew and a heating issue, both resolved within 24 hours or less. Unfortunately Emily was without heat during that time and we suggested she use the small space heater until the problem could be resolved. Always good to have emergency back-ups in place. I was able to reset the date/time for heating system with Emily by phone using whatsapp. We regularly received photos of her walks and park runs with Carola. Also photos of Jimmy snugggling up to her. The pets were obviously content during our absence and spoiled with brushings, treats and lots of love. Emily kindly bought us some breakfast foods when we returned which was very considerate. Emily is a reliable and attentive sitter. Your pets are in good hands with her!

It was lovely to have Emily and Stephen with our cats for two consecutive weekends, I hope you enjoyed the stay. Received regular updates on the cats and the flat was kept lovely and clean. Thanks for looking after the boys!

Peter kept us well informed in the run up to the sit and he and Jenny were great hosts. Their house is close to the centre of Buxton which is a thriving town with lots of pubs, restaurants and bookshops as well as the beauties of the crescent and surrounding Georgian buildings. If you have a car the the countryside is stunning. Sunka is a typical labrador who loves to run and enjoys  water. We took here up to the nearby Fernilee reservoir where she had a great time. Milo is a beautifully coloured cat, perhaps a touch of persian in there, who does his own thing so expect to see him when you least expect it. 
All in all a thoroughly enjoyable sit that we would gladly do again,

Kat
This was a blessing. Kat is a dream host, and Tig an absolute sweetheart. The home super cozy and comfi, the location very convenient in one of the top neighborhoods in DC, due to its convenience, but specially for its beauty and nature. Loved it!

Georgia
So this year I spent the Christmas Holidays with Super Ernie! From the start, the communication with Georgia and Max was fun, warm and trustful. Their house is well located in East London, a part of the city I love for its history, architecture, diversity, and fast access to Central London. And they have decorated the house with love and art, beautiful plants and flowers. All is comfortable and welcoming, and the garden is also a pleasure for the eyes. Ernie likes it too: there is a cat flap and he is out and in all day until diner. He is one year old and very sweet and curious. He loves to play and be where the action is. A fantastic companion. Looking forward to seeing Ernie, Georgia and Max again! Thank you for your kindness and generosity. Xx

I thoroughly enjoyed my cat sit with Finn. He's a friendly boy and likes to play with a few toys and keep close to see what you are doing. He's so cute and easy to fall in love with. Their home is modern and spacious and I felt like I was enjoying a five star hotel. I loved the big screen TV and gas fireplace in the evening. The sitter's room is comfy and has a bathroom beside with a nice soaker tub. I would love to return again. Thanks for the opportunity and Happy New Year.

Fab experience sitting for two lovely doggos! Henry and George are absolute sweethearts. Very easy to care for, and they seem to really love human company. I will miss them! Though hopefully I will be available to sit them again some time in the future.

Jamie was also great, showing me around the house, letting me know where everything was, and was generally an all-round great person and host. The house was lovely and had some awesome touches (TV unit rising like a phoenix from a hidden compartment at the end of the bed really blew my mind!). 

Great sit, wouldn't hesitate to do it again!
