When we met Orion for the first time, we liked that they were genuinely eager and excited to spend time with our cats. When they came by the house to pick up the key, we showed them around, gave additional instructions, and asked them several times if they had any questions or needed to know about anything else. They confirmed they were fine. However, upon our return, we discovered that some of our instructions were not followed. We told them that we preferred the cats to only go out once a day and that they needed to be back in before sunset because of the coyotes. There is a cat door that has different settings to let them in/out, out only, in only. They left the cat door in/out which was noticeable upon our return because we came home at 8pm and both cats were still outside. In terms of tidiness, we think they did a decent job with cleaning up after themselves, but we were a bit taken aback seeing leftover food in the fridge and having to take out their trash. They also left something at our place, which they later picked up. In terms of communication, we think it was a little bit difficult. There were a few times we asked them a question or stated a preference, and they would not respond or answer our question. It made us confused, like perhaps we miscommunicated or they misunderstood us, but we would not receive an answer. Overall, though, Orion genuinely seemed to enjoy the company of our cats, and for this we appreciate. On the other hand, we’ve learned that we will need to outline all of our expectations in written form for future house sitters and make sure that the sitters understand and agree to them because we didn't feel understood during this house sit.

Bryan sent pics daily and kept me informed of how my pups were doing. My house was clean when I returned. I would definitely have him back to watch my pups.

Berkan
It´s been a pleasure to look after Heinz and Nar and to housesit in Berkan and Sofie´s house. 
The house is really cosy and warm, with a cute garden where you can really enjoy some quiet time in this noisy London. You feel like home and it is very well located, with different options for transports (you can get to central London in 30 minutes), very nice restaurants and cute trendy coffee places around, as well as supermarkets and off licenses. The cats are really friendly, they love company and will come to sit on the sofa with you same than they will go and have a nap on their own somewhere from time to time. If you take their toys out they will enjoy to have a little play too. I would happily housesit here again any time and I highly recommend it to any housesitter.

William
Will and Lauren are wonderful hosts.  They make sure we have everything we need and respond quickly when we have questions or need something.  
Ollie and Milo are so adorable. Each has its own character, Ollie is just sweet and mellow and Milo is full of energy.  I had a blast taking Milo to hikes around Boulder.  The house is spacious and wonderful. We spent a lot of time at the deck to enjoy the weather and the sound of the creek next to it.  We would not hesitate to come back in the future. Highly recommended for other sitters as well.

Annette
Taking care of the 3  cats at Annettes was easy to do as they were lovely.  Lots of cuddles.  Communication was really good.  She made a lovely dinner and toured us around to show us where everything was. Annette Helped us with a medical problem making arrangements for an appointment.  She kept in contact while away . Everything went very smoothly even though the weather did not want to co-operate. Thank you for everything.

Had such a wonderful stay with Nala in Crystal Palace. Lovely easy going cat with a fantastic personality. The home itself was extremely welcoming and Lucy was very responsive (:

Evie
Evie is a wonderful person and welcomed me in her house with open arms. Ruby is a super cute and easy dog! Be ready to get lots of cuddles every day and have a happy, energetic dog around you. The chickens and the fish were super easy to handle and it was a nice extra to have fresh eggs every day :)

Brittany
Britt is a great host and pet parent, thoroughly prepping sitters for Charlie’s health condition,  and good about keeping in touch despite time differences. Sweet Charlie’s seizures are no joke and hard to witness - he had three in his first two days of our sit, and then was right as rain for the rest of his parents’ two week trip. He’s a big goofy boy with lots of energy and loves big walks and exploring in the park nearby, as much as he likes mellow evenings cuddled up on the couch. We learned the hard way not to leave *any* food on the counters - doh! -but the food-crazed behaviour is a side effect of his medications (and we were well warned in advance!). Charlie is a chill, well-behaved dog living his best life and I’d be lucky to sit for him again!
