We have just returned from a 2.5 week trip out of the country, leaving our beloved cat and home in the care of Rain and Jonny. I can safely say I didn't worry at all, and we were able to focus on enjoying our holiday completely, knowing our very loved cat was in safe hands. Right from the outset we were confident that Jonny and Rain were capable and caring and experienced pet/house sitters. Their communication was excellent and very reassuring before and during the sit. We returned to a very happy cat and our home in excellent condition with many thoughtful touches, like fresh bread and milk and the autumn leaves being raked up. We have no hesitation in recommending these kind and caring sitters.
Cindy is a reliable, warm and considerate person and a very experienced house and pet sitter. It was a pleasure for us and our cat Micky to have her here during our five-week trip to Canada and we hope it won't be the last time. Cindy came to stay with us a day and a half before we left, as we had arranged in advance. It was easygoing to share the flat with her during this time and there was enough time for conversation and explanation. Cindy was very attentive and carefully followed all recommendations regarding the flat and the care of Micky. She quickly became friends with Micky. We therefore had no worries when we left. Communication was great. Cindy provided us with regular photos and reports on Micky with the frequency we requested, took care of the mail and the plants, and also handled unusual situations with ease. On our return, Micky was completely unchanged and relaxed. The flat was also as clean as we had left it and everything was in its place. Cindy cooked a tasty meal on our arrival, which was perfect for us after the long flight. It was also nice to meet her again. To our delight even several days after our return we still realized how tidy everything was, and we were very impressed with Cindy's thoughtfulness and self-sufficiency. Anyone travelling for an extended period of time should consider themselves lucky when Cindy looks after pets and home.
