We are so lucky to have had Michelle as our cat-sitter. Our older cat, Gluino, got unexpectedly ill during her stay. Michelle recognised the signs and immediately called the vet to check on what should be done. Then, she rushed him to the clinic. His condition was very serious. Once stabilised, she took him home and monitored him the entire weekend. Gluino had high fever, his breathing was abnormally fast and refused to eat. Michelle went out of her way to find foods that might entice him to not starve himself. She bought chicken, tuna, tried treats and his favourite wet-food. She made sure to administer medicine, measure his breathing, stay in touch with the vet and make an appointment for Monday at another clinic (where it was planned for him to undergo more detailed tests). All this while keeping us updated about his wellbeing and taking care of our younger cat Nacho. She had to juggle the needs of a seriously ill cat and a young, active cat and was extremely resourceful in doing this. We were abroad and could only fly back on Sunday. Although in shock and extremely anxious, we had the peace of mind that Gluino is in great hands. Michelle stayed at Gluino's side up until the moment we arrived as she didn't want to leave him unsupervised. Besides being very skilled at taking care of cats, Michelle is a reliable, loving, caring and sweet person. We didn't have the pleasure to meet her partner Fran, but there is no doubt for us that he is no less of a wonderful human being. He helped her a lot in caring for Gluino during this very difficult time (Fran is allergic to cats and stayed at a rental place in Amsterdam. Still, he came over to the house to help Michelle care for our two cats). After returning home, Michelle would keep in touch to inquire about Gluino. She regularly asked for updates and sent words of encouragement. This meant a lot to us! Thank you for everything, Michelle!

Analina was was such an amazing sitter! The cats bonded with her almost immediately and were very well taken care of, including being brushed regularly. The house was very clean when we got back. Analina communicated regularly with us to let us know everything was in good shape. We really could not have been more pleased and would have her back to housesit again and again!

Beatriz and Zach were unbelievable! She came early to get to know how to care for our animals and to meet them. They went above and beyond caring for them- and the property. They did things that we didn't ask them to to stay busy- raking, buying treats and balls for them and we were so grateful for the constant communication she had with us about how everything was going. Honestly, I was nervous leaving the country at first, but after meeting them I had total peace of mind that everything was ok and doing great. Horses involve work and care on top of my 2 very energetic dogs, but they really went the extra mile to care for our pets and place! In 10 years of living here, they were clearly the best house-sitters we  have ever had and we have had a lot and some really good ones. I look forward to them coming back!!!!

Shannon & Aaron were great house sitters. They were easy to communicate with and shared updates on our animals. 

They were extremely easy. We came back to a very clean house. They did multiple things that we forgot to discuss, including bringing a plant that was previously dying back to life and bringing our trash cans back into the correct location. 

Most importantly, our furbabies seem happy and were definitely well cared for. 

We would definitely recommend and have them back.

Kate and James were wonderful hosts that spent time before our sit to go over everything.  Detailed instructions were left and easy to follow.  The house is very comfortable and a quiet place to hang out, especially the back patio where you can watch hummingbirds while getting your cat lap time.  The fruits and veggies of the garden were also appreciative.  The kitties are easy to take care of, they are aloof most of the day but have specific times of desired attention time.
