If Antonella takes care of your home and pets half as good as she did ours, you’ll be happy! This was our first time using TH as homeowners. After posting our listing, we didn’t have applicants but had noticed that Antonella had saved our listing among her favorites. We reached out to her to inquire if she’d be available and interested in sitting our dog and cat for the two weeks we were going to be absent. We had a video chat with Antonella and immediately knew that Charlie and Asterix would be in good hands! She was friendly and flexible in her availability for the chat. She asked if a friend of hers could join her, which we welcomed as it meant more loving for the kids (Charlie and Asterix)! I was not home when Antonella and Ramina arrived (my husband greeted them alone), they were punctual, asked pertinent questions about the house & kids and were friendly to Charlie & Asterix who took to them right away. They showed up bearing gifts for Charlie to chew and Asterix to chase - instant hits! During the sit, Antonella stayed in touch sending messages, pictures and videos which showed her obvious love and attention to Charlie. For a dog that normally feels abandoned by us when we leave, he sure didn’t look like he was missing us! We have to admit that our feelings were a little bit hurt! This was a winter sit... it was snowy and cold... Antonella and Ramina nonetheless walked Charlie, taking the time to put his little booties on. They even shoveled our long driveway, which they didn’t need to do, as a neighbour was to clear it in our absence. And the weather was miserable, with snow storm after snow storm; it would have been quite the workout! Like if all this wasn’t enough, five days before the end of the sit, I realized my mistake in the return date I had indicated on the listing. I contacted Antonella to inform her and worriedly ask her if she could stay an extra day. She did not hesitate and agreed immediately, to our huge relief! She patiently went through the TH required steps to have the sit extended in the system, on a Saturday that should have been a well-deserved day off. We unfortunately didn’t have the chance to see Antonella and Ramina upon our return. They waited and made sure that our flight had landed not to leave Charlie and Asterix stranded had we been delayed and headed out for their long drive while we were on our way home. Like if we hadn’t been already impressed by Antonella by then, we got home to happy kids, an impeccable home (floors were mopped with no doggy paw prints, which is no small feat with wet snow on a dark floor), washed linen and towels, a maintained hot tub and the outdoor steps, walkway and deck cleared of snow. Antonella and Ramina had washed Charlie, he was white and fluffy, which was great with the amount of hugs and kisses we bestowed upon him! Charlie and Asterix even got their first report card! Antonella hilariously rated them on cuteness, following rules, food, and brotherly love (some improvement was needed here!). You can not go wrong in selecting Antonella. We’d have her back in a heart beat if she were up to the challenge of taking care of Charlie and Asterix again! Antonella and Ramina, we cannot thank you enough for having given us peace of mind while we were away! Thank you and all the best in your travels and future sits!

Tracy
Tracy and David were great hosts. Their house was very comfortable and clean. I had a great time there. The dogs are well behaved and easy to walk. The hamster is also cute and easy to care for.

Dmitrii
Dmitri and Ana are great hosts! Apartment is beautiful and location is perfect. Dmitri has similar interests like me, board games, video games, art and many other things. And what to say about Jeremy, lovely dog and amazing companion in the streets of Belgrade. Cardi is one of the most beautiful cat i ever saw. Dmitri, see you maybe again, in the next house sit, in the future…

Eve
Firstly, I must say that I miss Sailor. She is the sweetest dog and so well behaved. We went on a 5 mile hike and Sailor is a great hiker. She actually did better than myself and 3 friends. We all ended up with mud on our shoes from the recent rain, no mud on Sailor. Swiper and Bo - sweet sweet kitties as well. Swiper loves to cuddle and Bo makes sure you know he is there 🐱 but has his own agenda/activities. Eve and Scott were very easy going and their communication was spot on. I’m very familiar with the Area which is convenient to just about anything and everything you might want to do. I hope I get to hang out again with these awesome pets. 🐶🐱Eve and Scott you’re the best!!

Gordon
i thoroughly enjoyed my time with Jakey and Holly at Gordon and Heather's lovely house in Comox. Jakey is such a lovable old boy, always up for walks and playing with his toys; Holly is just full of beans, but also has time for cuddles and facelicks!
The location of the house is perfect for walking to downtown Comox and the harbour, as well as lots of lovely parks and trails. 5 stars!

Isabel
This sit was just lovely. Isabel was very communicative in the beginning and throughout. Her cat, Lenny, is probably the best cat I’ve ever watched. Smart, silly, and trained!  He also loves people and to play. The apartment is gorgeous and the location is perfect- close to everything yet not directly in the center, which is what I always prefer. Thank you!! Meow meow!

Jules
It was a pleasure to sit for Jules.  She has a beautiful home and lots of wonderful pets!  Tuli and Belle were super sweet and easy to care for.  The chickens were also lots of fun to watch and exciting to see how many eggs we would get each day.  Jules had the house cleaned right before we arrived so we felt right at home.   The location was great, close to lots of parks and other things to do!
