I think I have found my dream sitter :) We had arranged that Sentella would arrive earlier to learn the care regimen for my diabetic cat. Unfortunately, old age caught up with Honey before Sentella arrived, but Sentella came anyway, as planned, and took a few days to settle in, while dealing with jetlag and lost luggage with far better grace than I would have. She was also very gracious about my husband changing our travel plans (twice!) without warning, for which I remain very grateful. There were some issues while we were away (just normal "**** happens" stuff, nothing to do with Sentella), that she took in her stride, and dealt with after checking in with me. I appreciated her no-fuss, no-drama attitude, and was really able to relax while we were away. We arrived back to two very chilled pets, who were moderately pleased to see us, which sounds odd but is high praise indeed - no frenetic "save us!" greeting, no sulking, just "oh, you're home - nice to have you back" :D They had fully settled with Sentella, judging by the update pictures I received, and this was undoubtedly the most relaxed Clara has ever been with a stranger, which speaks volumes. The house was exactly as we had left it, and I particularly appreciated not finding dirty dishes and burnt-on food left on the cookware. Honestly, if I hadn't know she had been there, I wouldn't have known anyone had been there at all :). Our houseman (cleaner/gardener) also gave her the thumbs up - I suspect he got to take a little vacation during Sentella's stay, as there doesn't seem to have been much for him to do. I would love to have her back to sit for us again, and have no reservations at all in recommending her wholeheartedly to others.

Lori and Doug
We'd only had 5 year old Gus for 3 months when we needed a house sitter. He was still anxious around strangers and dogs.  Hamsa and Gus bonded immediately which really eased our minds about leaving him. Hamsa is a gentle soul who connects with humans and pets with her calm and caring nature. Hamsa is a very good communicator which made everything easier. Messages were answered very quickly and she was very flexible with our changing schedule. Hamsa also needed to water plants and generally maintain our home which was very well done. We received several updates and pictures of Gus and their adventures. We returned to a well maintained home and happy dog. We would not hesitate to ask Hamsa to stay again.

Sheena
I had a great time sitting Coco and Uni! They were so sweet! Sheena was very informative and welcoming and made sure I had everything ready and needed for the pups. The place was super cute and such a great location close to transit and downtown. I would love to care for the pups and sit for Sheena again and would highly recommend!

Susan
We had a lovely week at Susan’s house. Woody and Herb are adorable. Woody is one of the most sociable cats I have ever met. Herb is much shyer but is also loving and gorgeous. 

The house was comfortable and well situated for exploring the South Downs National park. 

Susan was very accommodating and communicated really well. Thank you so much Susan!

wafa
Wafa has a beautiful, comfy modern home in a quiet neighborhood not far from the ocean. There is a big backyard for Zane's outdoor exercise but he would love to go on a walk around the neighborhood or to the beach. He a fun boy and will be by your side whatever you may be doing.

Wafa is a kind and thoughtful person who makes the stay so comfortable. She is available to answer any questions and gets back promptly. A delight!

If you are looking for clean fresh air, the sound of the waves and a "Zany" walking partner you will enjoy this pet sit!

Lavinia
Lavinia’s pack were so full of energy and were just as keen for affection. We are cocker spaniel fans and Willow, Rowan and Gean lived up to the breed. We enjoyed our walks immensely, but unfortunate weather meant we didn’t go as far as we’d hoped, so there was a lot of entertainment in the garden: ball throwing, training and scavenger hunts. Lavinia’s home is very comfortable, with a private guest en suite. We would welcome the opportunity to sit for Lavina and her pack again, and hopefully better weather means we could explore the local area with some furry friends much more.

Lorie and Megan
I loved my sit at Lorie and Megan's house and felt so welcomed and comfortable in their home. Everything went perfect: the communication between us, the house was clean and tidy, and my time with Fergus was adorable.

Fergus is a lovely cat, very laid back and nice! He enjoys having company overall but mostly when it gets darker and of course he also loves time just for himself, and in that sense we are very alike. We played and cuddle during our time together and when it got sunnier, we went out onto the terrace, which is something he loves and even asks sometimes. :) I miss Fergus already!

I love the fact that Lorie and Megan's profile is very much complete, detailed and organise so I got a lot of information even before we got in contact. During my stay Lorie and Megan left me a binder with all kinds of informations about the house, tasks, Fergus, etc. and they were always available to help when/if I needed, but since everything is so comfortable, practical, well organized and on-hand there was no need for much.

The house is amazingly beautiful and big. The surroundings are equally beautiful and peaceful. Lorie and Megan are very organised and transparent people. And Fergus is adorable. I highly recommend this sit!!
