We, and Izzie, are so lucky to have had Lucy sit for us! She was everything we could have hoped for, given our skittish, shy and nervy (but very loving) girl and what she needs to be happy and relaxed. It was pretty clear from the several web chats we had in advance that Lucy should be fine, but on meeting her in person we were even more reassured that she was the right human for Izzie. Lucy kept us updated daily on how Izzie was doing and most days we got photos and/or short videos. By the end of Day 2 we were completely at ease and could enjoy our time away without worrying about Izzie as it was clear that she had accepted Lucy as part of the family and was coming to her for regular cuddles, chats and just to hang out nearby. Izzie is very choosy about giving anyone other than me -- Nancy -- cuddles and chats. Even poor Richard is loved mostly as the provider of meals and only infrequently gets cuddles. We are discussing another sit later this with month with Lucy as we can't imagine anyone who could be better with Izzie. For us the important thing about a sitter is their interaction with Izzie, everything else is secondary. However, the house was spotless on our return and Lucy, and husband Gareth, who joined her for a few days, enjoyed staying in our home and had the chance to meet a few of our neighbours. On our return we had a catch-up over tea and also found many points in common in our interests and experiences and our 'brief chat' went on for several hours. Izzie, Richard and I recommend Lucy very very highly. If you want your cat to get undivided love and affection while you're away -- Lucy is the sitter for you.

Mark
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mark and Anthony’s charming country cottage in Dargate.  The location was perfect for exploring the Kent coastline, with numerous beaches within a 15-45 minute drive away. There’s also a wonderful little pub, with super-friendly staff, a short stroll from the property in Dargate called ‘The Dove’, the menu is excellent and the food really is exceptional. 

Bob was an absolute joy to look after. Though he can be a little nervous with new people, his trust quickly built up once we let him approach us at his own pace. By the end of our stay, he was happily sleeping on the bed with us.

Mark provided clear instructions via a detailed House Sitting Document, which he both emailed beforehand and left printed for us at the house. 

The cottage itself was lovely and quaint, with the garden in full bloom, offering a picturesque and relaxing environment. We stayed in mid-summer, and the garden was truly gorgeous.

Highly recommend this house sit.

Jennifer
We spent one week in Delray beach in Jennifer and Seth's house and had an amazing time with the all the pets! This area was just perfect. Very clean and modern, everything in walking distance (restaurants, shops, supermarket, train station, nice and calm beach). The house was very comfortable and cosy. We really liked the style of the old and modern house. The pool was perfect during the hot days to relax and cool down a little. We had a great time with Ellie and the cats. Ellis is very friendly and sociable dog and not really activ. We spent lot of the time with her by the pool just relaxing. We also went for a walks with her and played with the ball. Cats upstairs were very happy to play with us and cuddle as well. Jellybean was a nice company for the evenings. No problems at all with anyone. Jennifer and Seth are also amazing people. They were very helpful, welcoming and friendly. They helped us with anything we needed, gave us all the informations we needed and also some tips where to go and what so visit in Florida. They also let us use their bikes so we could explore places around. We are very happy that we could housesit for Jennifer and Seth and would go back without hesitation. 
Thank you! Jan and Katerina

Christopher
I had a really nice stay with Cowboy, Canela, and Buttercup in Lannie and Chris' place. The two dogs are super sweet and easy to walk, and Buttercup is a cutie who loves attention and warms to new people immediately. Chloe, their daughter, took the time to to show me around Ajijic and Chapala, and very kindly helped out with some of the driving that needed to be done as part of the sit (I unfortunately don't have a licence to drive here in Mexico). Lannie and Chris are kind and easy-going, and their home is beautiful and very comfortable. The best part of every morning was waking up to be greeted by three sweet pets who were obviously happy to see me, and it was lovely snuggling on the couch with them too.

Danielle
We sat for Danielle and Lyndsay’s boys, Humphrey, Rudy and Sydney, and had a fantastic time.  Humphrey is an intelligent, gentle, people-loving standard poodle who likes long walks, the dog park a few blocks from his home where he can run with other dogs chasing after balls, and cuddling his stuffed animal toys at home. He is an endearing fellow often following us around the house just to be nearby. He is playful, happy, and very well behaved. He listens and responds well to verbal commands.  

Rudy the cat likes to be warm, sleep, knead the bed blanket, sit on the sun porch, be petted, and have his meals timely served.  Rudy and Humphrey often played together. 

Sydney the fish swims around his little aquarium, observing it all, and enjoying his occasional meal. We had so much fun interacting with the boys and miss them.  

Danielle and Lyndsay were always responsive to our questions both before the sit and during the six weeks we were in their home.  They went above and beyond to make us comfortable in so many ways, including preparing a very detailed fact sheet about the house and neighborhood, spending time with us prior to their overseas departure, and decorating their home for the Holidays, which we greatly appreciated.  They have a lovely, tech-enabled home, which is super-clean, comfortable, organized and easy to maintain.  The kitchen is nicely outfitted; there is good bedding; the lighting is abundant; and there is pleasant outdoor seating space. Plus Nashville is a great city to explore museums, music and food.  

Sitting for this family was a true delight!!

Molly
Molly was so easy to work with. The apartment is beautiful with a cozy guest room in one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in SF. Bunny the dog, is a dream of snuggles and good behavior. Kitty the cat, would give random greetings and enjoy napping in the sun much of the time. I highly recommend this sit.

Amy
Amy was the best host you could wish for. She not only made sure, I have all information I need. Additionally she treated me with surprise welcome gifts. I highly appreciated her warm personal welcome and am happy we met in person and had a chat before she had to leave.
The location was perfect for various activities. Aggie and Poe were great company. I enjoyed to get to know them a little and would love to be back anytime.
