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.

Kellynette was great. She was good about getting in touch with us prior to her visit, and staying in contact with us during her visit. The apartment was spotless when we got back. And, most important, Spencer and Abbey were well cared for.

Nicolee
It is difficult to find the right words for this experience. 
When we came here Nicolee and Maurice treated us like friends, even if we were strangers. Traugotts are the most lovely and hospitable couple and their dog, Koda, is such an amazing dog with a strong character. If you get the chance to stay with him, you will love him very much and he will show you his affection every day. If you want to care for a very special, majestic dog, you will have to come to Hampton - enjoy long walks along the beach and make friendships who will last much longer than the housesit. We feel like family now and hope to come back soon ❤️.

Laurie
Our sit at Laurie’s house was very relaxing and pleasant.  She lives in a beautiful neighborhood of Seattle…which we found unexpectedly hilly (we had no idea how similar Seattle was to San Francisco 😊).
Piper was a great dog, very loving and friendly.  He walks very well on the leash but is not comfortable around other dogs.  He loves to play fetch with a ball or stick and will happily go for a swim if the opportunity arises.
Laurie’s house, while older, is very nice. Be aware that there is no tv, microwave, coffeemaker or a/c.  While we didn’t miss them, there absences should be noted.
Laurie was a pleasure to deal with, the communication was exceptional and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Kayo
We enjoyed our sit at Chris and Kayo’s.  They were very accommodating with assisting us in our arrival and departure plans.  Instructions were clear, we were comfortable in their home, and had access to everything we needed. Kona is a very sweet dog who will never turn down an opportunity for exercise!  Max is a beautiful cat and gave us no problems. Nearby hiking trails are amazing!

Silvia
I enjoyed the location of this sit because it is located near  everything. There is a nice community park behind the house that any nature lover would appreciate. This sit taught me about Senegals and Cockatoos. Silvia  and her husband were very accommodating.  Finally, the majority of their neighbors are friendly.   I would sit for them again.

Suzanne
We had a wonderful time looking after Kit & Marco. Suzanne and Ian’s home is lovely and they made sure we had a very comfortable stay. Walking distance to a stunning beach and grocery shops etc all easily accessible. 
Marco is such a sweet, affectionate dog who loves a cuddle and him and Kit were a pleasure to look after. We will miss Kit’s meows! Would highly recommend this sit and we would definitely sit again. Thank you x
