From our first video call we felt Lucy would be easy to communicate with, flexible, able to take our situation/requirements on board without issue, and someone we could trust. These initial feelings were reinforced once we met and during her sit. We agreed she should come a couple of days before we departed so we could show her round the neighbourhood and explain the details of the house and pets. We left confident that our house and pets would be well looked after, and this definitely proved the case. Unfortunately Lucy developed a cold on arrival and was certainly under the weather initially though she did not let this interfere. Lucy did a great job of looking after Jake and our new cat Simba, demonstrating a great love and care for them, soon winning the affection and confidence of both. Simba,being in part feral, has always been vary wary of any strangers and immediately disappears as soon as anyone calls round, but even before we left Lucy had gained his trust. We also lent Lucy our L200 truck, having put her on the insurance, and this was also well looked after. Lucy did encounter some issues with the internet and other minor problems, but via phone calls Lucy was able to explain the problem and I to provide a solution which Lucy had the technical ability to understand and thus resolve the issues. She kept in regular contact with frequent photos/videos of what the pets were up to and did a good job of looking after the house, even sweeping up the copious amounts of leaves that had fallen. It was a pleasure to have her stay, we wish her all the best in her future travels, and hope she will come and sit again sometime in the future. We have no hesitation in recommending her.

Julianne
With no pet sitting duties currently, this is a prime house sit for anyone looking to spend long days out exploring Albuquerque, Santa Fe, or beyond. It is a convenient home base that is only minutes from I-25, yet in a peaceful and quiet neighborhood. 
The home is spacious, with lots of natural light.  And the kitchen is perfect for anyone who loves to cook, as do I. 
I enjoying meeting Julianne and Paul- they are welcoming, easy going, and kind. Communication was easy. Julianne left a detailed folder with maps and loads of suggestions and recommendations of things to do and places to eat in the local area.

We enjoyed looking after Monster and Arturo, two lovely characters with big personalities. We have never seen a dog and a cat eat next to each other and be such good friends! Our stay was extremely comfortable, we loved arriving to a spotless and such well organised home. The area is great and although our stay was short we much enjoyed a walk around Wanstead park and trying the different foods - definitely don't miss morny's bakehouse!

Brandi welcomed us to a very clean and comforting home along with fresh sheets and towels for our stay. Chewbacca and Simba were very loving dogs which made them easy to take care of!

A wonderful experience looking after Mabel in a beautiful home! Mabel has a lovely temperament, she is full of energy during walks, obedient and will come when called when off the lead, and happy to snuggle up and keep you company when in the house. 

The house is cozy and comfortable, good WiFi for working remotely, with superb forest walks backing onto the garden. Jan & Duncan were so welcoming, it was a delight to sit for them and I'd be very happy to look after Mabel and their lovely home again.

Kim has a cute little home in Austin, which is fairly close to everything, and her cat, Cosmos, is such a sweetie!  Cosmos is very playful and affectionate!  She snuggles up to you at night, like a dog would!  You will sleep well from that AND the incredibly comfy bed that Kim owns!  I would house and pet sit again, if the opportunity arose!
