My dogs and cat were very happy to have Bert in our home, and I'm very grateful to him for making them so happy! Bert spent a lot of time with me in a video call prior to the sit; I appreciated the chance to learn more about him and his past pet sitting experiences, and I also appreciated his taking the time to fully understand the situation at my house before committing to the sit. His questions during our conversation showed me that he was thinking ahead and that he was serious about wanting to give the best possible care to my animals. A good friend of mine who lives in my town helped me greet Bert when he arrived; this friend told me that Bert asked a lot of good questions and was very friendly and polite. Throughout the sit, Bert kept in touch with me, sending me photos of my babies and asking me any questions that came up. He even cared enough to ask about the locations of my dogs' and cat's toys. Due to the unusual circumstances of my trip, I never got to meet Bert in person, but in the photos he sent, I always saw very happy dogs and a very pleased cat. Two of my dogs are quite shy, and the photos of them crowding in close for Bert's attention and cuddles really warmed my heart. Because my local friend was not available on Bert's last day at my house, Bert was kind enough to stick around and make the time to be at my house to welcome my next sitter. I really appreciated his help in introducing her to my pets and showing her what she needed to know before he left. It was clear to me that with Bert, my animals and home were in very good hands, I am thankful for his good care, and I would happily welcome him back into my home with my pets whenever he next comes back to Taiwan.

Amy
Amy is a lovely, talented lady who welcomed me into her beautiful home.  She invited me to stay the night before she left since she was leaving early the next morning.  Her hospitality is beyond compare -- she took me out to dinner and stocked the refrigerator with my favorite breakfast foods.   She showed me all the ins and outs of her home which is full of her incredible art work as well as her works in progress.  I had my own guest room and guest bath which was extremely comfortable.  So, the home and the host are impeccable, but what about the pets?  They are the best ever!  Red Boy and Clementine and two of the biggest, most lovely Maine Coons I've ever met.  They love their treats, they love to be near you, they love to be combed, they just love life and they love people.   And, the best for last, sweet Rosebud.  She's a beautiful former feral, who lived in my lap the minute I sat down and became my instant lovebug.  Amy also feeds an outdoor colony (all neutered and vaccinated thanks to Amy) and they are each individual characters as well, especially Tommy, who is the most loving feral I've ever met (and I've met hundreds through my cat rescue work).  They are all very easy to care for, they all eat the same food, the litter boxes are easily accessible and cleanable with litter Genies dedicated to each location in the house.   Statesville is a quaint little town with excellent food options, along with several breweries, museums and cute shops.  It's an extremely walkable town and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.   I really can't say enough superlatives about Amy, her home and her cats.  I know it will be difficult to ever have a sit as nice as hers.  Thank you, Amy.  I hope, through our mutual love of cats and cat rescue, that we stay in touch.  
If you ever have the chance to sit for Amy, Clementine, Red Boy and Rosebud, please take it (if I don't first)!

Sylvia
As hospitable and accommodating as can be. Sylvia and Belle are bloody lovely 😃 The  house is gorgeous and couldn’t be located in a better place, with big football fields and supermarkets just a short trot away. Belle is extremely affectionate and well-mannered, and gets brilliantly excited. She’s a perfect companion. Routine and responsibilities were communicated really well, and Sylvia explained all the bits in the house before leaving very clearly and concisely. Sylvia also went the extra mile (literally) with picking me up and dropping me off from what I later discovered to be one of the sillier places to arrive in Portsmouth (😄) Overall, this was just a perfect sit and I miss Belle already 🙏🏻

Hope
Zack, Callie and Pete are my absolute favorite Trio. 🤗 They are most behaved, loving and sweet doggos. 
Zach is such a humble gentleman.  
Callie is a cutie and a sweetheart. 
Pete is definitely a love bug 😍 
They warmed up to me super fast and made me feel welcome at their home. I absolutely enjoyed their company. 
Hope keeps her house really clean and organized, her guest room was stocked with  bunch of necessities and  cute lil extra perks. You can tell she is a caring human so her pets are a definite reflection of her. 
She even printed welcome manual/ instructions for me which made everything  clear and very easy to follow. 
Thanks again for letting me take care of your fur babies. I already miss them and can’t wait to watch them for you again soon.

Daniel
In our short time in Canterbury, we really grew to love the city! So much so that it has become a place we would love to go back to. Dan's home is located in a fantastic area! It is a 10-minute walk to the city and only 5 minutes from the absolutely gorgeous Kent countryside with plenty of wonderful walks. Ziggy is a delight and such a well behaved dog! He has plenty of energy (as border collies do) and absolutely loves to play, but when you need to sit down and get some work done he is more than happy to rest at your feet (sometimes even on your feet) and wait patiently. Dan also picked us up from the station and dropped us off at our airbnb in the city where we stayed on a few more days! From the moment we met Dan we knew we had found a great sit and kept in touch regularly - he was happy to answer any questions and would touch base to see how we were going. Ziggy also handled walks into the city incredibly well and was happy to wait with one of us while the other did the shopping - he is also somewhat famous in the city and was the center of attention anywhere he went! We would absolutely recommend this sit to those who want to escape the rush of London but still be nearby and also to anyone who likes to walk and explore the surrounding area! Thanks for having us Dan and Zig!

Charlotte
It was great sitting for Charli and Chiquita. Charli's directions were spot on and her communication throughout the sit was great. She made sure I had everything I needed for the sit and visiting Puerto Ayora. 

Chiquita is a total lovebug. We enjoyed our walks and people watching, as well as relaxing and watching movies. She's well trained and very obedient, and easy to care for.

I recommend this sit for an opportunity to meet Charli and Chiquita, they're the sweetest, and Puerto Ayora is fun to explore.

Sophie and Phil were very hospitable, their house was impeccably clean, and they were quick to reply to any questions I had while away. They are lovely people whose kindness is reflected in how well-behaved and sweet their pets are. Coco, Theodore, Yoda and Archimedes were the most adorable animals. Although I was able to leave them on their own, I mostly preferred to watch Theo and Coco cuddle on the sofa. I totally recommend housesitting for Phil and Sophie and would be more than happy to sit for them again.
