Michelle was a fantastic house and dog sitter. I wish I could give her six stars. She was great with the pups, took great care of the house and left it as clean as before we left. She is a very nice, caring person.
Bear and Vicious were great company! Everything was laid out very clearly, and both pets were pretty easy to care for- they mostly just wanted love and attention. Andrew & Alyssa’s place was very clean and I felt comfortable there. Would definitely sit for them again if in the area!
We had such a great time house sitting for Kristyn! From the start, communication was very clear and prompt and Kristyn remained accessible throughout the sit. In fact, her welcome guide was so thorough, it made the whole weekend very easy and seamless. We were delighted to arrive at a sparkly, clean home. You can clearly tell that Kristyn takes good care of her home and pets, and made sure that my partner and I were comfortable while she and her family were away. Trapper and Bailey are very well-behaved and easy to care for pets. We had zero difficulties during walks and backyard play with Trapper. He is a very kind, gentle and intelligent dog. We learned that Trapper enjoys running around with his toy ball in the backyard and resting on his bed inside. Bailey is a senior cat who is very low-maintenance - she mostly did her own thing but liked being in our company. The neighborhood is quiet and a short drive from Providence and Southern MA. We highly recommend visiting the Blackstone River bikeway and also trying some of the many nearby restaurants. Additionally, the backyard has beautiful flower beds and a nice patio for lounging. Overall, my partner and I highly recommend this house sit, whether you prefer to stay in and relax or go out and explore the nearby areas. Plus, you’ll get to hang out with Trapper and Bailey!
This housesit was spectacular in every way. Firstly Alma and Ruchir are the kindest people you could meet ~ they truly made us feel so welcome and lay out the instructions so perfectly. Malva, their gorgeous dog was just beautiful and so kindly natured. She’s very gentle and loves lots of affection and cuddles. We loved spending time with her. The house itself is stunning. So spacious and relaxing and also the perfect location with so much nearby! Highly recommend and thankyou so much for having us Alma & Ruchir!
This was such a fantastic housesit. Communication with Anna and Diego was perfect from the start. I "met" them on a video call and fell in love with their family right away. During my travels, Diego always had good advice and kind words. It was a very easy train ride from Malaga airport. Diego offered to pick me up at the train station, but I really enjoyed the walk to their apartment. When I arrived, there was an instant bond with my new two legged and four legged grandkids! We sat on the floor and read books right up until they had to leave for their trip. Carnela and Mozzarella were a lot of fun-well behaved, affectionate, and ready to take the long hike to beach. They are just adorable and attracted a lot of attention from passersby. People were smiling and wanting to pet them. The area has such wonderful scenery, ocean views from the top of the hills, great places to eat, and the weather was PERFECT. Their son Max is the sweetest little boy I have ever met. He created a special place in my heart. If you opened the dictionary and searched for "ideal family", this is where you would end up. I feel very blessed to have been able to sit for this family and I look forward to a chance to come back. THANK YOU ANNA AND DIEGO.
I’ve had an amazing time taking care of Boy and Gino, thanks to Claire and John who were welcoming and kind. Communicating was easy and the instructions left behind covered everything I needed to know. Boy and Gino are one of the most fun and interesting cats I’ve ever met. Gino can be very affectionate and playful, while Boy enjoys to take a nap by your side while getting pet. They have quite a few quirks, but that only makes them more loveable in my eyes. The house is located in a calm but friendly neighborhood with a shopping center nearby and I felt safe during my stay. I definitely recommend this sit if you get the chance. Thank you again Claire and John, hasta luego! 😊
Everything you might ever wish for more than fulfilled in this sit. Beginning with Jane and Steve, who were so caring, generous, pleasant - and fun. The 3 cats all different in character, observant first and relaxed and best companions after a while. Leo, the leader, who is a purring beauty. Mommy, as selfassure as she is smart. Both love their cuddles. And Whitey, not the one who likes to be caressed, is always enjoying and 'in the now' ;-) Beautiful and well kept villa in a nice neighborhood, and Angela who would be there to help, if necessary. The lovely village with friendly people and sunsets in all shades of orange. Lucky you, if you have the chance to sit here, and lucky me, that I could come to care a second week.
