Theodora
Adam was very reliable and took good care of our house and plants.. He went above and beyond with our pets, even though he suffered a sports injury while here. I would recommend him for your house sit.

DaAnne & Bob
We completed a 11-day stay in beautiful Santa Barbara over Christmas 2021.  Bob and Dee were a treat to work with from the initial FaceTime call, thru the sit to the follow up checks to be sure everyone was home safe and sound.  
This Covid-wave travel had us all a bit anxious, as there were borders to cross and planes to catch.  We received a detailed guide in ample time  and there were generous offers of pre and post accommodation and the use of the e-bikes made access to all things local, fun and easy!  
Bob and Dee clearly love their pets and home and the the efforts made to make our stay comfortable were 5-star!  The rules of care for Mama and Izzy clear and thoughtful.  We had a couple of hours for our walkthrough and  noted the fire extinguishers and flashlights and all dry food and cleaning products were labelled and available for our use.  Keyless entry made for one less worry and there was a great, current welcome guide for exploring the area.  You will want a car for some of the hiking and exploring, but we had local family to help with transpo.  Both Mama and Izzy were happy to share their space and we provided each other with company and entertainment! Be prepared for some Mama snuggles and Izzy games!

Elizabeth
Oscar and Ollie are gorgeous cats with completely different personalities! Ollie was very shy at first but slowly became more comfortable being around me instead of hiding under the bed. These fellas love their treats and even Ollie will come running when he hears the jar shaking. There's a comfortable backyard where the cats (usually just Oscar) can roam as well as a nice patio out front. The couple in the unit downstairs was very friendly. I loved the decor in Elizabeth's home and enjoyed the calm neighborhood. Overall a fabulous stay!

Lavinia
My first official housesit and it could not have been better in every way (except perhaps the weather).  Lavinia and Andrew were most welcoming and easy-going. They live in the most wonderful part of the Highlands, far from the madding crowd.  I looked after Alec their spaniel, who was affectionate, full of energy and only disobedient in the most loving way..  The walks are superb, the scenery magnificent with the whole central Higlands on the doorstep. It will be very difficult to beat such a wonderful introduction to Trusted Housesitters.

I had a great sit at Simon & Julie's character property in the Stroud valley. The two cats were friendly & easy to look after & the fabulous hens pretty much laid 5 eggs a day. This sit is recommended if you get the chance.

Ginny
This was our first time housesitting with Trusted Housesitters, and we had a wonderful time – so wonderful that we almost didn’t want to leave! Ginny was such a gracious host. She had prepared a wonderful welcome package with lots of information about the house, about caring for Katie the cat, and about things we might want to do in the area. We were able to stay in contact with her throughout the visit and she responded promptly each time. 

Katie the cat was so easy to care for. After the first day or two, she became very affectionate and would spend hours sleeping beside us or on our laps. She is a beautiful cat and vocalizes a lot, which we found very entertaining. 

Ginny’s home is just outside of Lexington, KY, and situated on 15 acres of land with two creeks running on either side of the house. Being able to walk the property, watch the birds feeding, see deer and other wildlife was a highlight for us. Her home is very comfortable. We especially enjoyed the sunroom. We would welcome a chance to housesit for Ginny again!

Mary
Mary was very communicative, flexible, and kind, her place is adorable if you're into peace & quiet.  Bear is a very special, independent, healthy, and observant cat. She is very easy to care for but I can imagine her attitude can be challenging for some sitters (Mary told me about it in advance so I wasn't expecting a cuddly and chatty baby) but I truly enjoyed to observe the changes and how she warmed up more every day. I recommend that you too keep quiet in the house, and continue to chat with her softly every day even if she's hiding in the closet on your first day. She will stare at you and keep quiet but won't get defensive or aggressive. I almost burst into tears when she came to my room on the 5th or the 6th (I guess?) morning and followed me downstairs and hang out with me for the  remaining days. Granted that it was only 8 days of co-habitation(!) which I don't usually choose. This was a last-minute situation that the pet-parent needed and I happened to live not far. I wouldn't hesitate to be back, just note that if you're into exploring the area, make sure that you have a car. If you don't, still, there is a wonderful small market and cafe next to each other within minutes walk.  I'd consider this sit as ideal for a digital nomad with deadlines or a writer who needs to finish a book as there are no distractions.
