If there were more than five stars Elaine would certainly have been awarded them all. In fact Elaine was just that-a star of a sitter! From first communications to her arrival on the island everything was clear, easy, straight forward and super organised and this was how her whole sit at my home proceeded through to the very end. Elaine was an absolute pleasure to meet and to talk with. She seemed to instantly fit into her new surroundings whilst at the same time showing exactly the right amount of curiosity and enthusiasm. I had absolutely no qualms about leaving my home, my beloved Stan and my selection of plants in her extremely capable hands knowing she would care for hem all as if they were her very own. Greece had one of its longest heatwaves during Elaine's stay and she made sure that Stan and my plants more than survived but thrived. She would send adorable photos of Prince Stan regularly and even commissioned an absolutely wonderful portrait of him from a local artist which left me lost for words. She also composed a really gorgeous bouguet of dried wild grasses and flowers from her ventures into the island's countryside as a gift for me. These treasures were so incredibly generous and thoughtful -but that is Elaine ! I feel like I have been lucky enough to have made a friend -something which can't be given a rating or a score If Elaine offers to house and pet sit for you do NOT think twice-she is the real deal and anyone would be blessed to have her house/pet sit for them! Thank you Elaine!

Richard
Rich & Jill were lovely to interact with. We arrived the night before the sit so they could show us around as they were leaving very early the next morning. We really appreciated them feeding us supper and letting us stay in the guest room that night as we had travelled up from London that day! The cats were very quiet, adorable and well behaved. Jasper and Jinks both loved getting their chins scratched and snuggling up beside us. We really enjoyed their company. Since they had access to the outside 24/7 through a cat flap there was no litter box to clean - bonus! The house was very modern, clean and organized and the location was great. The bus stop was 2 minutes away and train station 15 minutes, which allowed us to visit places like Liverpool, Chester, Wrexham. Hawarden, itself, was a charming little village with historical landmarks. There was a pub, bakery and co-op grocery store within walking distance which was very convenient. We, also, appreciated the breakfast foods Rich and Jill left for us to get us started. We would definitely recommend this sit.

James
We were happy to pet and house sit for Debbie and James, who are wonderful people. They are very well organized and gave us all the instructions for the pets. Their dog Rexi is totally adorable and very affectionate. He doesn´t like to be left alone for too long, but he is a good car driver and will follow you everywhere. The cats Figaro and Nessie are super cute and very relaxed. We miss them all already. Their house is beautiful and in a good location to explore the area. We highly recommend them for pet and house sitting and would appreciate to pet and house sit for them again.

Trevor
Trevor and Sheena were gracious hosts. Their home is very comfortable, clean, with beautiful views. Greta, their dog, is well-trained and good-natured. Clea, their cat, is funny and affectionate. Molalla and the Willamette valley is a great area to explore. I enjoyed the rural setting and feeding the chickens. Thank you Trevor & Sheena!!!

Katie
Bode and Sadie were a lot of fun to hang out with. Katie and Andrew reside in one of my favorite neighborhoods in Los Angeles, Glendale, in a stunning luxury building.
I was welcomed warmly by Katie and Andrew, who also offered me their own parking pass. 
It was really considerate of them. 

Both Bode and Sadie have very lovable personalities and are quite well-trained.

I tried the salty pool on the last afternoon and had a great time relaxing.

In addition to being incredibly helpful if I needed assistance, the building's security personnel enjoyed meeting and petting the dogs while helping me with information.

Felicity
I house/pet sat for Felicity at her beautiful cottage in a lovely village. I have never met Felicity but met her daughter and sons, who were so kind and pleasant. They left beautiful flowers for me, so I did the same when I left the house.  

Her pet Angus, Monty and Shadow are absolutely delightful company. I fell in love with them immediately, and they seem to like me very much, too.   We slept together from Day 1, and they were so lovely. 

Angus is a bit cheeky boy and very playful and wants love and attention all the time. Monty is the sweetest, and I love him because of his sweet nature. Shadow was an exceptionally friendly cat. Bonnie is a shy cat, and she only looks at me from a distance still.  

Taking care of them was not difficult, and I had a great time. However, I had an emergency situation where the boiler started leaking during my stay. Then, Shadow, the cat, told me something was wrong and I noticed the water from the ceiling! I immediately notified it on a group chat on WhatsApp, and Felicity’s son Hamish arranged for a plumber to come very quickly.  

Pets shed hairs so much every day, but Felicity got a wonderful hoover that sucks all dirt and hairs so easily, so it was not a problem at all!

Tracy
Tracy and her husband are delightful hosts.  They prepared a tasty meal for Matt and me on our first night in their amazing Hillsboro home. Their son also made us feel welcome as we learned Hatchi and Romeo's routine. Both dogs are low maintenance and well-behaved.  Tracy left detailed instructions which made us feel comfortable caring for them. We look forward to sitting for this charming family again in the very near future.
