Aurora cared for our cat Pumpkin and home for almost two months. She was responsive and clear when we needed to communicate, including helping us troubleshoot and repair an unrelated plumbing issue at the house, sent lots of pictures of a happy cat, and left our home cleaner than when we left. Pumpkin was always clearly well cared for -- she is softer than ever from all the good care!
Ranji was very communicative and took care of the pets and house and even organized one of the bedrooms (which the cats then took to using even more). I would be very happy to have her stay and look after my pets and place again.
Claire is a very kind & welcoming host! Mabel is a sweet & gentle dog, who wants to be close to you (within a paw's reach 😃) at all times.
A lovely if short sit in Cheltenham. Ellen was easy to communicate with, before and during the sit. Ellen left us a comprehensive welcome guide which is always appreciated especially if like with Oscar there are specific dietary requirements. (Health supplements) Ellen's home is clean, comfortable with a lovely, well equipped kitchen/dining/chilling space which opens up onto a patio and outdoor kitchen area. Oscar is a little sweetheart, he maybe old and possibly deaf, but he loves a walk, is very good on the lead, loves a cuddle, and sleeps on the end of the bed no trouble. There's a park walk within a few minutes walk of the house. So no need for a car. We recommend this sit, and would be delighted to sit here again should the dates work.
It was a pleasure to sit for John and Morna in their beautiful home. They are a very warm and friendly couple and we felt like we’ve known them for years after spending just the afternoon with them before they left on their trip. Their villa, located in a quiet residential area near the golf course and beach, is super clean and perfectly appointed with all the modern conveniences you’ll need for a lovely stay. Their fur family is delightful! Coco is a very lovable and sweet doggie; she’s a bit older so she certainly moves at her own pace but we enjoyed our leisurely walks to the nearby woods together. She did, however, surprise us one day at the beach when she sprinted away and we had to chase her! Ari and Little, the kitties, are also sweet but they were not very social initially; they finally warmed up to us when they realized we were in charge of the food. We received very detailed instructions so we were never left wondering what to do, and if we did have any questions, John was quick to respond to our messages. This was a great sit and we highly recommend it.
This was an awesome house/dog/chicken sit. Hazel is a wonderful puppy! She is so eager to learn and easy to walk and play fetch or tug with. She is also a huge love bug and enjoys her cuddles on the couch. The chicks: Sally, Georgia, Mabel and Puddles were super friendly, easy to pet and even pick up and cuddle. Feeding, making sure they had water and gathering their eggs was fun. Ellen and Laura even left some amazing treats for me when I arrived. They were easy to communicate with before, during and after the sit. It was a pleasure to watch their animals. I'm looking forward to the next sit at their place when the timing is right. Hopefully again soon!
Great place to sit. Charlie & Bailey are two very (child) friendly, well behaved and energetic dogs. They are so motivated to move and play. Wonderful nature around the corner and down the road to let them play. Naomi provided a detailed description which made finding our way in the house easy. Luna the cat is cute and easy going. Great farmers market in the area. Best we’ve seen sofar and you must try Sol-Food (Puerto Rican Restaurant) So good!
Had a great experience! Eko welcomed me to his home, and walked me through the key responsibilities. The welcome pack was very detailed which was fantastic, and Eko was quick to respond to any questions that arose throughout the sit. The home was very clean and modern. Billie & Arie are wonderful dogs - they are very loving and well mannered. Really nice area. Lots of lovely walks near the canal & Olympic Park. I'd definitely come back to house sit!
