I think my cats really liked Catarina and Remi, evident from the timely updates and photos. I initially had trepidations about my long haired cat Clementine, who is prone to mats in her fur, especially when I am gone for 4 weeks. No problem! She was in fabulous shape when I returned, not a single mat to be seen. I was so happy. House sitting can be harder than one might imagine. And mine is a large house, where many rooms are lived in in the course of a month, with two people and four cats. I think this was the first long sit for Catarina and Remi, and perhaps they aren’t often guests in peoples homes for weeks at a time. I arrived home to weeks of dirty towels to be laundered, and dirty linens still on the bed. Yikes! Towards the end of the sit, they’d requested (at their expense) a housekeeper to clean after they left and before I arrived home. And that was good. As scheduling and last minute plans happen, it was I who arrived first, ahead of the housekeeper. And I was glad they’d seen that they needed help. It’s a chore and you have to stay on top of it. Bathrooms, kitchen, it’s a lot to tend to. I’ve only recently discovered the forums, and I’m sure one can find lots of info on what homeowners expect upon return. My month out of the country was made easier with timely updates and happy and clean cats when I came home. Catarina was very intuitive and gave me a heads up on my senior kitty who’s hair had become quite oily, and I appreciate that. Great cat care.

Penny
Wow, we loved our time in Richmond looking after Pip!

Penny and Nick were the most wonderful hosts, so welcoming and friendly. They invited us to dinner the night before the sit to welcome us and get to know us. 

The house is so lovely with a big garden, wonderful kitchen with the most incredible light!

Pip is such a character. He loves being around people but really does take a minute to warm up to you. He can be pretty fiesty and will pow you away if you hover over a pat for a second too long but nothing crazy. He is so lovely and beautiful - once you earn his trust, he'll follow you around.

Pip spends most of his time outside roaming the streets and he has a catflap so he gives you so much room to get around Richmond/ London, exploring the sights. The house is really close to a street of shops, tucked in between Richmond Park and Kew Gardens.

Would definitely happily stay here again! Thank you Penny and Nick, you two are the best.

What a lovely, relaxing few days with the very gorgeous Pepper and very handsome Tom. The cats were totally delightful, easy, friendly, cuddly and fun. Elizabeth is an excellent host and the house is beautiful and so comfortable, close to everything you need and train stations in and out of London. I highly recommend this sit and hope I can go back myself!

I was very spoiled from my first sit in Luxemburg and was excited to see what to expect with my second here in Switzerland.... I was not disappointed! Jacqueline and Bas are super nice and fun, the communication simple and clear with perfect explanations about what must be done and what could be done (Avenches!). The apartment great with everything you could want and a fantastic huge balcony. The cats absolutely easy going and to fall in love. 
Again and again I would be very happy about a repeat.
Thx once more for showing me "Ticket to Ride" (the luxury edition!) and "Kerala". And having lemon pepper, gorgeous with Carbonara...

Louie is one of my new favorites! I enjoyed spending time and cuddling with him in Tara's bright, comfortable and design-forward home. Communication with Tara was efficient and enjoyable. Her thoughtful instructions helped me approach the sit with ease and confidence. 

Tara's apartment is in a fabulous neighborhood right next to a beautiful walking trail; can't beat the location! Happy to come back in the future!
