When we met Orion for the first time, we liked that they were genuinely eager and excited to spend time with our cats. When they came by the house to pick up the key, we showed them around, gave additional instructions, and asked them several times if they had any questions or needed to know about anything else. They confirmed they were fine. However, upon our return, we discovered that some of our instructions were not followed. We told them that we preferred the cats to only go out once a day and that they needed to be back in before sunset because of the coyotes. There is a cat door that has different settings to let them in/out, out only, in only. They left the cat door in/out which was noticeable upon our return because we came home at 8pm and both cats were still outside. In terms of tidiness, we think they did a decent job with cleaning up after themselves, but we were a bit taken aback seeing leftover food in the fridge and having to take out their trash. They also left something at our place, which they later picked up. In terms of communication, we think it was a little bit difficult. There were a few times we asked them a question or stated a preference, and they would not respond or answer our question. It made us confused, like perhaps we miscommunicated or they misunderstood us, but we would not receive an answer. Overall, though, Orion genuinely seemed to enjoy the company of our cats, and for this we appreciate. On the other hand, we’ve learned that we will need to outline all of our expectations in written form for future house sitters and make sure that the sitters understand and agree to them because we didn't feel understood during this house sit.

Marvelous Mary. I think Tilly actually missed her when I came home. My flight was cancelled and I couldn’t get home until a day later. Without hesitation, Mary stayed until I could get home. All the sheets and towels were washed and beds were made. She also was a plant sitter— not a small job at my house.  All my plants looked as happy as my cats. I highly recommend Mary.

I think pet photography might be a lucrative career ◡̈ Thank you for leaving my home so well taken care of! Lady and Billie already miss you 💗

Sara made my time away stress-free as I knew that she would look after Lenny and my home.
Professionalism: Sara demonstrated utmost professionalism from the start. She promptly responded to my inquiries and provided clear information as we were setting up the house-sit and co-ordinating travel.
Caring: Sara’s genuine love for animals was evident. During our initial meeting, she took the time to understand Lenny’s’ routine, preferences, and quirks.
Reliability: Sara sent me photo updates during her visit. It gave me peace of mind knowing that Lenny was in good hands.
Overall, I highly recommend Sara as a pet sitter. Lenny seemed content and stress-free upon my return and the apartment was spotless.

We had a lovely time at Sophie's and Robs with the very charming Santiago. Santi is easy to take care of. He comes and goes all day as he pleases, but will definitely come back to let you know when it's meal times spread throughout the day.  Sophie has an auto feeder, so you still have plenty of opportunity to explore London, and has programmed the cat door to keep him in at night. He's not a cuddly cat by all means but likes to hang out in the same vicinity while you're relaxing. The flat is very comfortable and spotlessly clean with everything you could want for a comfortable stay, It's location is great for supermarkets, public transport, cafes, restaurants and a great little pub about 5 minutes walk away. Both Sophie and Rob communicate well and are quick to reply.  All in all a lovely sit in a great part of London.
