Sarah Anne was absolutely exceptional – we are so glad we invited her to sit for us and think that anyone would be lucky to have her as a sitter! Sarah Anne came the day before the sit to meet us and the cats, which meant we got to enjoy a lovely evening together chatting and laughing before our trip. Her friendly and easygoing personality made it feel like a close friend was staying with us rather than a stranger and put us immediately at ease. Her responsiveness via text, both before and during the sit was top-notch. We felt totally relaxed on our 2+ week holiday abroad knowing Sarah Anne was readily available. She sent us cute pictures of our cats with funny captions every day we were away, which we really looked forward to. The cats quickly warmed up to her, even “helping” Sarah Anne with her crossword puzzles (aka laying on them asking for cuddles haha). She got to know their unique personalities really well. Our home was left not just tidy but even cleaner than she found it. Upon our return via a transatlantic flight, we were pleasantly surprised by a hot meal, homemade hummus, and apple cakes awaiting us – a true relief to not need to run to the shops right off of the plane. We also appreciated the little daily journal Sarah Anne left of funny and notable moments during her stay. Not only did Sarah Anne take care of the essentials, but she went above and beyond. In a thoughtful gesture, she replaced a burnt-out bulb over the stove. Also, following our lovely conversations with Sarah Anne that evening and via text message, she shared some delightful recipes and puzzles with us. What a treat to return from a holiday and be met with so many lovely surprises. Sarah Anne's friendly demeanor, thoughtfulness, and self-sufficiency make her a standout sitter, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to others. It goes without saying that she’s also welcome back to our place anytime!

Ulla and Terry left a very detailed welcome guide for us.
Gracie and Bob,  What a couple of character's and so well behaved. We had lot's of fun with the two of  them, of course, Bob's ability to know when it was brekky and dinner time, was staggering.
We did spoil them just a little bit. Sorry about that. 
Their  home is a short drive to all amenities and a well equipped Shopping Centre. There's plenty to see and do. 
Also, thank you for the warm welcome you and Terry extended to us on our arrival, much appreciated. 
Cheers

Dan was a lovely host! He was very responsive and answered any questions I had before and during the sit! Bamba and Sherman were such sweetie pies. They mostly laid around all day other than to eat, receive pets, and mosey about a bit in the yard. It was a breeze and a delight to care for them. Sherman is an older gentleman so just be patient with him <3 Their home is lovely and the view of the stars from their backyard is quite beautiful. Anyone would enjoy sitting for this family :)

I really enjoyed taking care of Zizu at Marc and Laura's wonderful home in Milton, Massachusetts. Their home is conveniently located steps away from the transit transit system is system into Boston.  Zizu is a great dog who reminded me so much of my Standard Poodle I had years ago. I highly recommend this THS opportunity to anyone interested in visiting boston and taking care of a wonderful dog.

We loved our short stay with Fred, Max, and Mr Biggie the fish. The dogs were really friendly and it was fun hanging out with them. The instructions were clear and we had everything that we could possibly need thanks to the great hosts.
