Joseph took care of our cat and house-sat for us for 2 weeks. In advance of our trip, we were able to do both a virtual and in-person meet and greet to ensure everyone felt comfortable and do a walk through of the house, which we really appreciated.While we were away, Joseph responded quickly to texts/any questions we sent and provided photo and text updates every 1-2 days. Upon our return, our cat seemed happy. Unfortunately, the day of our return, Joseph accidentally locked himself out of our house. He communicated with us and we were able to provide him access to a backup key. However, when we returned home about an hour and a quarter later, we were surprised to find that he was still there (he was supposed to have left much earlier in the day before we arrived home, and we knew he was running a little behind because of the lockout, but he didn’t tell us he would still be there when we walked in). He texted us that the house was clean and ready for us, but unfortunately the house was not clean and the cat litter boxes were quite smelly and appeared not to have been changed or scooped in many days. While we realize that getting locked out of the house created some delays in getting packed and tidying the house, we were upset to find the kitty litter in that state and for the clear disorganization, at least in the final day. We provided this feedback directly to Joseph and hope that this was a one-time experience. However, we would urge clear communication around any expectations for cleaning, communication, and care.

We are very pleased with Katie as our housesitter this past week! She looked after our two cats, Chili and Pepper. They looked very well at our return and we noticed no stress that we have been away. 

The communication with Katie went from the beginning very smooth. She is very friendly, kind and lovable. We immediately had a good feeling with her. She kept in touch with us during her stay and sent soms photos from Chili and Pepper and her sightseeing trips. Which we liked a lot.

Our apartment was clean and tidy when we returned home. And she changed the sheets of the bed, as we asked. She was also very flexible, when there was a mix up with the dates of our cleaning lady. 

We can recommend Katie as housesitter! We are very grateful with her as our sitter. She is always welcome for some more cuddles with Chili and Pepper, if she comes to Belgium again!

Kelly is great! She took great care of the house and our kitties! She was attentive to our instructions and did everything we asked of her. She was communicative but not overly so. Love to have her sit any time!

Vince is absolutely wonderful! My two cats adored him and keep checking around the house in hopes he’s back again. I couldn’t recommend him more.
