Rachel sat for our two dogs and two kittens for our first post Covid vaccine trip! We had planned to be away for 6 days, and advertised the sit as such, but then after Rachel had accepted, we realized we could take a few extra days if she was able to stay longer. And being the flexible person she is, Rachel agreed to the change of plans. She was attentive to the pets (we could tell how much they liked her right off the bat), send texts and pictures almost daily to update us on feeding, walks, etc. She took the dogs to their favorite walking trails in her car several times, which was most kind. I was extremely impressed with the consideration and care she gave both us and our home. In a phone call the day before we were due home she asked if she could go into our “wing” of the house to check for any surprises that the kittens might have left and she mentioned some scratches that she’d noticed on a door frame and worried they might have been caused during her stay. I reassured her they were the work of other cats who are no longer with us, and was impressed with her thoroughness and concern for our home. She was communicative, neat, left the house as clean as she found it, and took excellent care of all our pets. I recommend her without reservation. Thank you Rachel for your TLC to both pets and home! We will welcome you back any time.

Always a pleasure to have April and Todd sit for us!  They are so responsible and caring and I know I have nothing to worry about when they are here taking care of Chino and Bo.  They leave everything so impeccable too!  Highly recommend this couple!

Rachel
This was our first sit and we couldn't have asked for any better!
Rachel is very responsive and gave us clear and detailed instructions. Moreover she was easy to reach before and during the sit. 
Medus is an exceptionally cheerful and friendly cat. With his daily routine and chatty character there is no dull moment. He is eager to play and go for a walk with you just as often  as you have the possibility. Other times he loves just to cuddle so spending time with him is just fun! 
The flat is located in a peaceful suburb, really easy to reach by public transport, so don't hesitate to apply!

FYI - I left this review June 2023; however, I posted it elsewhere so it didn't show up here...at any rate, here's my feedback.

I enjoyed my time with Luca & Loki. They are loving and energetic dogs.
John & David were very communicative about their pets. They provided me with a thorough guide and were also very responsive to any & all questions I had. They even took the time to check in on us regularly, soI felt very supported by them, even though they were abroad on vacation.

John & David were very welcoming and I felt very comfortable in their home and watching their pets.

If the opportunity arose, I would watch Luca & Loki again, without question.

Had a very nice stay at Nicole’s home and really enjoyed spending time with Dado! Nicole and Hector were very communicative and aside from a lapse in understanding about one of my responsibilities, everything went very smoothly.

Stuart and Ronja
I really enjoyed looking after Cleo in Stuart and Ronjas comfortable apartment. Stuart gave me absolutely all the information I needed about Cleo’s care and how things in the apartment worked. He was also very easily contactable throughout the sit.

Cleo is a gorgeous affectionate little kitty. As soon as I sat down she was on my lap. She often came to rub against my legs to be stroked. She liked playing in her tunnel and chasing toys but she was also an amazing climber reaching ceiling level easily. This was especially her ‘party piece’ when she was wanting her dinner early.


The apartment is also very convenient for the Shore with lots of restaurants coffee shops and bars. It is also a five minute walk to a tram stop taking you to the centre of Edinburgh or on to the airport.

Thank you for letting me look after Cleo , I would be happy to look after her again

Lenore
We absolutely loved this pet sit in tropical paradise. Leonore was well organized and left written instructions with everything from emergency contact information to recommended nearby restaurants. She greeted us with welcome gifts and couldn’t have been nicer. The cat Pearl Girl was so easy going. We renamed her Purr Girl. She purrs when you feed her, and she purrs when you brush her. She is an elderly cat who mostly just slept on the living room couch all day and night. You can’t beat this location, beside a Safeway grocery store and a shopping mall. We didn’t use a rental car. We used Lyft and buses to visit Waikiki, the North Shore, and our favorite day was visiting nearby Kualoa Ranch where they filmed Jurassic Park. We LOVED walking to scenic Haleiwa Joes for dinner/happy hour. What a view! This was our 25th pet sit with Trusted Housesitters and definitely our most relaxing and funnest sit yet. We would love to come back to care for Pearl the white cat again in the future!!!
