Jane
Fantastic sit overall and we had a great time. Lovely apartment in a fairly quiet and rural location yet easy to access and has unbelievable sunset/sea views. Jane and Tim are friendly, welcoming and generous and made us feel at home immediately. They were always easy to contact and communication was straightforward. Little Lola, is such a sweetheart and the easiest pup to look after. She's loving and very well-behaved. We'd highly recommend this sit.

Zach
Great stay with a loving pooch Gissepe and a sweet cat Cleo who'd rather be to herself.  The host Zach was continually available to communicate, and the space is set in a quiet community nestled in a safe neighborhood with anything needed within a few miles. Overall a lovley stay!

Rebecca
Rebecca's place was great. I didn't even leave her neighborhood - there were so many things to see and do within a block or two. Kash was a delight and so easy to care for. He attacked me with kisses as soon as I walked in the door. He was great on the lead. You just needed to keep a few treats in your pocket if he got distracted. All in all, it was a great sit.

miriana
I had a nice stay at Miriana's place. Rocksy is a very sweet dog, loves company and is always happy to go for a walk outside. Miriana was also very available and follows up on any concern. She even helped me with the moving. The apartment is bright and clean, situated in a green area. Thanks a lot! Definitely recommended.

Deborah
The first sit I applied for was with Deborah and Graham's lovely cats, but as it's a popular sit, I didn't get the chance until 15 months and 8 sits later.  It was definitely worth the wait.

I found Deborah and Graham to be a warm, friendly couple, who gave me accurate information in good time before the sit and were quick to communicate and respond to any questions I had. I felt I was treated with consideration and respect throughout. 

The cats are beautiful. Bertie is quite shy and often sat on Deborah and Graham's bed. He did come downstairs sometimes, particularly encouraged by the offer of Dreamies or something he'd noticed going on outside. He let me stroke his head a couple of times as he got more used to me. Millie enjoyed her head being stroked  and combed, as well as playing with her toys. 

The house was clean, warm, well equipped and with some beautiful paintings to look at. Together with the lovely view from the back of the house and from the garden, it made for a very relaxing stay.

Although it rained quite a lot during the first half or my 4 night stay, I enjoyed a morning outside in the large, lovely garden when the sun came out, picking apples and enjoying the fantastic view over the valley. 

There are food shops a short walk away, as well as plenty of very interesting shops, cafes and pubs in Haworth. There are plenty of places for walks nearby. I enjoyed a scenic, circular walk to Oakworth and back, passing Oakworth Station where The Railway Children and its recent sequel The Railway Children Return were filmed.

I enjoyed the conversation with Deborah and Graham when they returned, as well as some very tasty apple cake Graham had made.  Deborah kindly gave me a lift back to Keighley train station. 

I can highly recommend this sit and am looking forward to another sit with Bertie and Millie later this month.

Thank you  Deborah, Graham, Bertie and Millie.

Nicolette
I had a wonderful time house sitting for Nicolette! Her home is gorgeous - like something out of a magazine. Elio and Vilianelle are sweet and low-maintanence cats. They're independent, but appreciate the companionship, and they're super cute.

It's possible to do this sit without a car (a city bus comes every hour) but I wouldn't advise it. The bus service is infrequent and the home is built into the side of a mountain, so it would be quite a haul without a car! 

With a car, the house is an easy drive to downtown Portland. It's also walking distance to local hikes. I would definitely sit for Nicolette again!
