Emily and Greg were our first housesitters and it was a wonderful start for us. They went out of their way to ensure that we were comfortable with us and even more important, that Rebel was comfortable with them. I was fortunate they lived in the next neighborhood over so they stopped by several times to walk with Rebel and me and the day before our trip, Emily came by to take him out alone to ensure there were no issues with a stranger coming into the home while we were gone. In addition, Rebel is a large rescue dog and, although he is usually well behaved, none of us were sure how he would be when we left as we adopted him during the pandemic and we have been home pretty much 24/7. In addition, she had to attempt to keep Rebel from consuming too many cicadas which was a chore in itself. All went perfectly. Our house was left tidy and she even had to clean up some things that Rebel got into - he loves pillows, tissues and plastic bags. This was by no means her fault, we left them where he could get them.....and he did:) Emily communicated with me by text daily and we talked about how it went once we returned home. We came home to a happy dog which of course made us very happy and more comfortable with doing this again. Feel free to reach out to me if you need more information about this housesit. I would be delighted if they were able to housesit for us in the future and recommend them without reservations.

A delightful sit in a very comfortable and well organized home with wonderful Winnie…certainly a cat with character! Colleen and Gerry were so welcoming and we felt at home straight away. The welcome file with information about the house and area was great and Colleen and Gerry were easily contactable and helpful. We wish we could have stayed longer!

I had a wonderful time sitting in Chantal and Patrick's house. They were incredibly welcoming when I arrived and made sure I was entirely prepared for my stay. Indra and Max are both lovely dogs, the scenery combined with them on their walks were amazing!

We had a wonderful weekend in Asheville with Takk and Luna. They were so easy to care for and behaved exactly as the owners said they would. The house is beautiful and we were very comfortable there.  The owners made us feel right at home and provided all the information we needed to have a great pet/house sit.  We look forward to going back sometime!

We had an amazing few weeks looking after these two beautiful boys, they were an absolute pleasure! Enid and Nathan are a lovely couple and were very helpful, and there was good communication before and during the sit. Their house is stunning and in a lovely area too close to local amenities. We were very sad to leave axel and ralphie and miss them lots, we would not hesitate to house sit again for them in the future if we were asked. Thank you!

Staying in Katharina's apartment was the best, Erfurt is a very quiet city for those looking for a relaxed way of life, and although Frida and Renee are now in Berlin, the location was very central but friendly. Renee and Frida are two very independent cats who keep each other company and have fun together. 
They were up early for meals and slept early at night. At first it was a bit difficult for them to approach and interact when you wanted to look for them yourself, but then, without warning, they would come to you and stay by your side. 
I really enjoyed taking care of them and they were with me during my working hours as I am a remote worker. 
I would highly recommend Katharina and her little ones.

We had beautiful days in the cute apartment very close to the centre in Freiburg.
Thank you and cuddles to Beau!
