Although I have used TH several times since 2018, this is the first review I have submitted. Tom has restored my faith in both TH in general and sitters under 30 in particular! Tom arrived late on a Friday night and I did not leave until Monday afternoon so I could show him around. At some point either on Saturday or early Sunday I noticed Tigger following him around. It was obvious he wanted to be close to Tom. I had never seen Tigger do this before. The previous sitter took good care of them, but I did not see much affection or connection even after 4 months together. With Tom I could see it almost immediately. It was mutual between him and the dogs. He cooked their meat and veggies to mix in with the kibble, gave Tigger his obligatory supplement every day and walked them very early on the beach before the sun was too hot, playing with them in the ocean at times. I received photos and an occasional video of them and could see how happy they were - to the point where I thought they might get depressed when he left! Fortunately, they didn't... Tom is just so calm with a lovely energy that the dogs obviously sense. Considering his prior experiences were mostly with cats I was surprised at how quickly he "clicked" with them and would highly recommend him as a sitter for any pet. If I could give him more than 5 stars in the pet care category I would! He did not complain when the internet was erratic and/or the electricity went off (for some reason, much more during the 2 months he was here than usually happens in the better part of a year!), but let me know so I could contact the neighbors and find out what was going on. As for the house and my possessions (I put those in the "tidiness" category) I have yet to have any sitter who has not left at least a few or sometimes many things either broken or damaged or even lost, not to mention dirty - even though they were clean when the sit started. The difference with Tom was that he good-naturedly came back (he stayed nearby at a new friend's house for a few days after the sit) and spent the better part of an afternoon cleaning most of the things that had been left dirty. And when I pointed out some damage to a wall he offered to pay to fix it (I did not accept, but very much appreciated the offer). Speaking of cleaning, I bought a brand new vacuum right before the previous sit started in order to make cleaning easier for the sitter. It was still in the box. When I returned it was lying on the living room floor covered in thick dust on the outside and filthy inside the drum where the filthy filters were; and the tube and attachment were completely clogged. I cleared out the tube, but gave up on the drum and filter after removing some of the dirt. I wasn't even sure it would work. Tom cleaned it all up and was able to use it! He also helped me upload a couple of photos onto my listing. He is so pleasant and considerate, asking about things he was in doubt about instead of just doing them and hoping he had made the right choice - unfortunately, I can't think of a specific instance right now and since I believe today is the last day to submit the review they will remain unsaid. In closing, I would like to publicly thank Tom for giving such loving care to Tigger and Shala. I highly recommend that you choose him as a sitter - your pets will thank you! :)

Tonya was great and filled in after our other sitter had to cancel. She was very self sufficient and navigated acclimating herself to everything since she arrived after we left. She gave thoughtful updates on my cat and I could tell she really enjoyed her, so that means the world to me! She left the place immaculate and we will certainly have Tonya back!

First of all, the location of the house is a gem - the house sits right on Lake Massapoag, as you can see from the photos, and neighbors a yacht club. The yacht club was off season when I visited during the Labor Day break, but there were still sail boats anchored in the lake and they made for a great view. Speaking of the view, the sunset and sunrise views from the guest room where I stayed were incredible and cued my internal clock that it was time to get up early and go to bed earlier than usual which I greatly appreciated – it gave me an opportunity to really take advantage of the daylight.

 

Second, Shayna is just a pure ball of love and joy. She will want to stay by your side at all times and will want to accompany you on your hikes and walks around the lake. She is a very active and playful dog and makes for a great hiking companion – I think I ended up walking a lot more than anticipated during my stay with her, which I am very grateful for. I can’t wait to see Shayna again!

 

And lastly, Alison and Noah are wonderful hosts who not only opened up their hearts and pantry to me on the day of my arrival but also cooked me delicious dinner. During our introductory Zoom call, they had asked me what kind of food I usually ate and made sure it was in the fridge by my arrival. When they returned, and it was time for me to leave, it felt like I was saying goodbye to old friends. They are such warm and loving people – I made friends for life and will be visiting them again.

Aimee is very easy to communicate with , the apartment is very comfortable and Dusty and Boots very easy to care for. Aimee has everything well organised with automatic feeders and water. This apartment is very close to CBD,beach,and only a short walk to the Botanic gardens.

I had a wonderful time looking after Bella and Louie, they are adorable and really easy going. Bella knows her neighbourhood really well and showed me places I would have never gone to by myself. 
Sharon’s apartment in that beautiful Shabby-chic building in Central Liverpool was very pleasant and ideally located. 
Sharon and I had smooth check in and check out handovers, and lovely connection. 
I had a great time with Bella and Louie, and would not hesitate to come back should an opportunity present itself.

Elizabeth was an easy going host. Nellie was sweet and cute but a bit anxious. It was fun to walk her and play with her. The surrounding area is very pretty, convenient, and train accessible.
