Due to covid we were unable to take our trip and hence this petsit didn't go forth. Up until then, Mia's communication was really great and she seemed really experienced and knowledgeable. We were excited as she seemed like the perfect person for our dogs.
This was Ninon's first house sit - and already she is excellent. Ninon took care of my 2 cats, my large garden and my house for a month. Ninon offered to come a couple of days early so that she could meet Pinot and Mini (the cats) and have them get use to her and to get familiar with their routines, and the house and yard. Mini and Pinot loved her - took to sleeping on her bed. She is very conscientious, taking great care with everything. Ninon even fixed the latch on my door when it broke. I have a large vegetable garden, many patio planters/baskets and perennial plant beds as well as a large lawn to be mowed – Ninon got it all done. Things were looking great upon my return. Ninon even made pesto when the basil was in full peak and picked the vegs as they were ready. The house was cleaner than when I left, and things were organized. A special bonus was Ninon took the time to sort and organize my very disorganized garage – I had mentioned before I left that someday I would get the time to organize it – things were group and bins labelled - I was so thankful for this thoughtful and kind gift. Communication was excellent - both for arrival and during the housesit. I truly enjoyed meeting Ninon, she earned my complete trust. I would have Ninon come to sit again in a heartbeat and would highly recommend her as a house sitter – and your pets will thank you. For me, Ninon came as a housesitter and left a friend.
