Joseph took care of our cat and house-sat for us for 2 weeks. In advance of our trip, we were able to do both a virtual and in-person meet and greet to ensure everyone felt comfortable and do a walk through of the house, which we really appreciated.While we were away, Joseph responded quickly to texts/any questions we sent and provided photo and text updates every 1-2 days. Upon our return, our cat seemed happy. Unfortunately, the day of our return, Joseph accidentally locked himself out of our house. He communicated with us and we were able to provide him access to a backup key. However, when we returned home about an hour and a quarter later, we were surprised to find that he was still there (he was supposed to have left much earlier in the day before we arrived home, and we knew he was running a little behind because of the lockout, but he didn’t tell us he would still be there when we walked in). He texted us that the house was clean and ready for us, but unfortunately the house was not clean and the cat litter boxes were quite smelly and appeared not to have been changed or scooped in many days. While we realize that getting locked out of the house created some delays in getting packed and tidying the house, we were upset to find the kitty litter in that state and for the clear disorganization, at least in the final day. We provided this feedback directly to Joseph and hope that this was a one-time experience. However, we would urge clear communication around any expectations for cleaning, communication, and care.

Alex and Cedric were great! They asked great questions, were communicative, and flexible when needed. My dogs were fans, and so was I! 😎

Loved taking care of Miso 🐈 in this light filled penthouse on the River Thames. We shared constant cuddles. 💻 🛜 was very fast, perfect for WFH. Miso was always nearby my hands 🙌 for cat rubs and played with my mouse pad as if it was a mouse. :) 

Spectacular views nearby of the tower bridge and city of London. Enjoyed summer sunsets shining on some of the best architecture on the planet. 

Miso is easygoing, expressive and enjoys constant affection. He is a big beautiful cat with amazing blue eyes. I’d be happy to take care of Miso again in London.

Alison
This was a wonderful sit with the sweetest pets. Joey warmed up to us quickly. He is incredibly well-behaved and a joy to walk, play with and chill with. Sammy is quite shy but soon welcomed petting and especially belly rubs. 
Communication with Alison and Tatsuya was always quick and clear. Her excellent welcome guide is very comprehensive. And he even made us videos on operating the various appliances which was super helpful.
Their home is comfortable and modern with lovely Japanese touches, and a quick walk to the subway station to explore Fukuoka and beyond. Thank you both!

Krassy
Krassy and Clive were truly wonderful hosts. They generously prepared a home-cooked meal for our arrival and personally settled us in before leaving for their flight. 

Krassy & Clive’s home has all you could possibly need. It was truly a home away from home for our family. We especially enjoyed time in the backyard with the dogs playing fetch & kids on the trampoline, and our morning walks in the fields surrounding the town.  

Bernie, Bono and Buster were so affectionate and playful with our young daughters, and will be sorely missed when we leave! They loved a long walk, lots of play time and evening snuggles on the couch watching tv.

We’d highly recommend house sitting for Krassy and Clive and would gladly return in future.

Elena was an amazing host. She was very kind, communicative, organized and extremely empathetic when an emergency came up for me. I was really impressed with how detailed her instructions for Junie and her home was. It made our time together way easier!

Furthermore, Junie is such a love bug. She is such  a funny and sweet cat. I loved spending time with her!

Overall, great stay. I definitely would recommend Elena and Junie!
