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!

Kathleen
I had a great sit at Kathleen´s and enjoyed every minute with her 2 cats Wiley and Bodhi. They were adorable. Kathleen´s sit is in a great area, Sugar House, with great shops, coffee and easy access to all directions to explore the area.

Kerstin
Kerstin's house is lovely, in a beautiful location where you can walk to viewpoints and the beach and port. Coon and FeliFu are low maintenance, they mostly do their own thing but they will come up when they want cuddles. Coon especially is cuddly at night. He's like a soft teddy bear purring away beside you in bed. I had a lovely stay, thanks to Kerstin

vanessa
Vanessa is super friendly and the communication with her worked perfectly. The flat is on the second floor and has a large balcony. Katy and Lucio are lovely cats who love to play. The flat is large and I really appreciate Vanessa's trust. I really enjoyed looking after Lucio and Katy. One star off for the fact that the kitchen/fridge in particular was not as clean as I would have liked. You should also allow 30 minutes to get to the city centre. All in all I can definitely recommend a sit with Vanessa. Thank you.

Meredith and Drew
I had the pleasure of pet & house sitting for Meredith & Drew, awesome & easy experience! Friendly, great communication, & of course the home was equipped with all the essentials along with them extending their kitchen items!

Phyllis is so sweet & chill, I couldn't have asked for a better pet! She went for walks (I suggest before the heat takes over early) & when she needed a quick potty break I would let her out in front of the yard & just cleaned up after her.  She didn't ask ever so I had her on a schedule & she seemed cool with it! She would get excited about going out front when I asked her & offered treats, that's when you see her personality the most (sweet & happy).

The location was a 2.5 jog that I did up from the Hollywood stars/walk of fame which was pretty cool to see Usher's star!

I would definitely sit again!

Blessings guys & thanks for trusting me to care for your home & sweet Phyllis!

Lynn
I had a lovely week with Panther at Lynn's house in Arvada. The home is in a great location, close to Denver and also close to the mountains. Panther is a sweet boy, who loves to cuddle and play with his toys. Lynn provided very clear instructions, was communicative and accessible, and ensured that the sit was comfortable. I'd stay again!
