Suzanne and Manfred were the perfect sitters for our alpacas, cat and doves! We invited them to arrive early to learn our routine and they quickly picked up how to "be" around alpacas! They were calm and organised and were soon accepted by the alpacas as safe to be close to! One alpaca was having antibiotic eye drops and they confidently completed the last few days of giving these. We received daily updates, photos and videos which reassured us that all was well at home! Suzanne and Manfred cared for the house, leaving it spotless for our return. Suzanne even made a delicious Thai soup for us for lunch...what a treat to return to! They had stripped beds and washed their sheets and towels which is certainly not something we expect as we arrive home quite early so they must have been up extremely early to get everything done ready for our return! This was above and beyond the job description! We thoroughly enjoyed the few days with Suzanne and Manfred, as they got to know the alpacas, before our holiday and we definitely now consider them as friends and hope that we will stay in touch and maybe meet again! This sit was complicated by the fact that we are selling the house and rehoming the alpacas so there was some uncertainty ....how many alpacas would still be at La Grand-Mère ? We know that Suzanne and Manfred have waited a long time to come to Brittany as well as to care for alpacas, so we truly hope that the uncertainty around our move wasn't too stressful for them! So ..without hesitation, we would recommend Suzanne and Manfred for your sit. You'll go away confident that your "babies" will receive the best care and your house too! Thank you Suzanne and Manfred for being the perfect sitters at a particularly stressful period in our lives! 😘

Hanna dog sat our dog Kiwi at our house in Mallorca for 2.5 weeks in Aug/Sep 2024. In short, we had a fantastic experience with her and would highly recommend her! Hanna was very precise and punctual with her communication during the initial coordination and communication for her dog sit. She prepared an extensive list of questions about caring for Kiwi that gave us a lot of comfort in her, especially for a longer vacation. We had only just moved into our house a few weeks before this trip, and we were still learning the house ourselves during the handover to Hanna. Hanna was very flexible in accommodating our asks like watering the garden and refilling the pool, and took great care to absorb all the information and make sure she was prepared while we were away. During the stay there were quite a few hiccups and surprises with the house (an old Spanish finca) but Hanna dealt with everything (water leaks and a broken window) very smoothly and always kept us informed. We also had regular (p)updates and pictures, reassuring us that everything was well at home. She also cared for the local cat (Garfield) which is actually not our car but just comes by our house for some food. When we got back, our house was totally clean and tidy and it was hard to tell Hanna had lived there for more than 2 weeks! All in all, we had a great experience with Hanna, totally five-star, and would highly recommend her if you are looking for a reliable and trustworthy pet and house sitter!

Padraig
This was a fabulous sit. Gondo and Rua are beautiful dogs, are well mannered, loving and friendly.  They love their walks and get really exccited when they know they are off.  The location has an array of great places to walk within close proximity and Padraig and Eamonn provided a list with details of how to get there, distance etc.

Padraig and Eamonn are wonderful to deal with, they gave me all the information I needed re the dogs and the house and I felt I could contact them any time if I needed to.  Their home is really gorgerous, very bright, comfortable and warm with great views of the countryside and the river below.  It is very close to New Ross town that has plenty supermarkets and the general area has lots of places to eat.

Tim and Tish are so great. (Sylvie was the previous owner) They are so warm and caring. They have a beautiful house and garden.
The 2 dogs are really friendly and will follow you around wherever you go. You can enjoy lovely walks with them. There’s a beautiful river near the house. The 2 male cats sleep a lot and enjoy the outdoors as much as the indoors. The female cat loves to be brushed and enjoys company. I totally recommend this sit! Thanks for so much!

Terri
Terri and Bronson are absolutely delightful, thoughtful people with outstanding communication. You can really tell they love their home and fur-babies.  The location, house, and pets are all even more wonderful than described. Lily loves to be pet once she gets used to you and she has an adorable squeaking meow.  Roxy will be your BFF all the time and I’ve never met a dog so smart and loving.  She’s obedient too and sensitive, so giving her directions in a loving voice works great. I just loved being part of the family for a short time. :)

Andreia
We are very lucky to have the chance to housesit for Andreia, to spend a few days with lovely Vicky.
Andreia is very helpful and she provided one of the most perfect welcome guides I have ever received.
The communication with Andreia has always been very smooth before we met, while she was away, and also after we finished the sitting. Her apartment is very clean, comfortable and very warm during the cold season.
Lillestrøm is a very nice place to chill, there is a very good shopping center, nice views near the river, great location, only 15 minutes from the airport and 10 minutes from Oslo by train.
Vicky is a very lovely and loving girl, when you take her out, she tries to go home straight away, but once you take her far away enough from home, she enjoys than you expect.
She is very happy when you just play with her at home, or you just watch a movie on the tablet sitting on the sofa, she will quietly sit near you, a great company to watch a movie with :)
I absolutely recommend this housesit to everyone.

Mya
Loved sitting for Mya and Luke, their home is lovely and Bella was a dream to watch. The sit was extremely smooth thanks to Mya and Luke's super clear instructions - I would be happy to sit for them again!

Terri
I loved staying at Terri's house watching Coco Terri's cat. I came right before a snowstorm,which is rare in South Carolina, so I enjoyed watching movies until the snow melted, then I was able to discover the area. Terri's home was comfortable and relaxing. It took a few days for Coco to warm up to me. I loved staying there and would live to go back!
