Dog Sitters in Competa

Faryal

Ashley was great! We were able to bond over dinner the night before I left and my home was clean when I came back! Katniss was happy and definitely seemed like she enjoyed her time too! :) Would happily have her back.

Well it is hard to know WHAT to say when they your sitters are off the chart GREAT!!! We enjoyed getting to know Deb and Mike when they were nice enough to come a day early. Deb asked me if I would like pictures (and I do!) so she sent them every day we were gone. They washed all the linens (which we did NOT ask them to do) and got the house ready for our return. We had a daily report, a note, and they even left flowers for us! We sure hope they had a good time so we can convince them to come back again! They are a 20 out of 10!

Todd and April were just what we were hoping for in a house/cat sitter. They communicated with us during our long vacation on a regular basis, and took great care of our cat and home!  We were hesitant to use this service, but felt quite at ease during our vacation. They were willing to come a day early to get to know the house and so I could meet them. The house was spotless when we arrived home. We couldn't be happier :)

We really loved our time taking care of Sagan, Stella and Gertrude. Sagan and Stella are really cuddly cats, they would either rub themselves against or sleep by our side on the couch to maximize contact, they would sleep by our feet (sometimes using them as their own personal pillows haha) and just follow us around the house. Whenever we had a meeting, Stella would come, sit on the chair besides and keep us company, even sometimes falling asleep right there; she was very curious about Gertrude and would walk by her enclosure and looks at her (don’t worry, she never fell in haha). Sagan wanted cuddles from us from the very beginning, always very welcomed, and would follows us whenever we went to the bathroom and the escort us back to the living room. At the beginning Sagan would refuse to eat most of his dry food, but once we found out that he preferred the light brown nibs, we would select them for him, he then started eating more than Stella haha. They both immensely enjoyed playing with the laser point. Sagan would wait by the wall by the bedroom’s door, hinting at us that he wanted to play, and once he started, he could play forever, chasing and try to catch the laser by jumping all over the placer (he would sometimes also try to bite it, which was so adorable); Stella on the other hand, would follow the laser around the house, running from one point to the other, she specially liked it to follow the pointer in the kitchen. She would also like to run on the wheel outside on the balcony and lay there and sunbathe. They never ever fought, and we actually caught glimpses where Sagan would groom Stella, and she would absolutely love it. It was also very easy to comb the cats, a very much needed thing as they were shedding their winter coat.

Who can forget about Gertrude, the world’s most active turtle out there? She spent her days swimming, moving around her furniture or sunbathing under her lamp. At the beginning, as she was a bit unfamiliar with us, whenever we walked by, she would hide, but quickly she got confortable around us. If you walk by, she would most likely follow you around, or if you want to play with her, she’ll following your finger all around her enclosure, going up and down, left and right. During out stay, she fought with teeth and nails to climb her platform without the rocks and was very close to achieving it, falling short after wrestling with it after a couple of minutes, but we were so proud of her when, towards the end of the house-sitting, she did it! We knew she had it in her, and after cheering her on, she managed to do it.

Nicole and Mario were amazing hosts, before our housesitting they sent us a very detailed guide and asked us if we had any questions beforehand. Before we arrived, they explained us how to get there, what method of transport to use, where to hop off, etc. They also were kind enough to print out this guide and leave it for us, which not only explained their pets’ routines and their home’s peculiarities, but they also left us some recommendations of things we should do and restaurants we should go. Once we arrived, they explained as everything in-situ just in case. Their home is very cozy, luminous and spacious. They have a beautiful balcony, where one can enjoy a cup of coffee and read or just relax and spend sometime with the cats. Their kitchen is equipped with everything you might need or want. Their home is perfectly insulated, so it maintains the home’s heat, and as they are on a higher floor, you can’t hear any noises from the street or nearby. Behind their home, there’s a huge park you can walk by or run, or just have a nice time with nature. It’s perfectly located, a few minuets away from a huge shopping mall and from the tram station which will take you to the city center, only a 15min ride. Inside the mall there’s a Lidl and different stores and restaurants.

The communication with them was great throughout the whole experience, before they left, before our housesitting we had a video-call with Nicole, where we also had the opportunity to briefly meet Sagan, Stella and Gertrude. During the sit, we communicated daily, sending them pictures or video of Sagan, Stella and Gertrude. They left us everything we could need to take care of them, so the petsitting went smoothly without any issues. We loved staying at their place and taking care of their pets for them, it was such an amazing experience, we really loved them. If you have the opportunity to look after Sagan, Stella and Gertrude, don’t hesitate and take it, you wouldn’t regret it!
