Clare was wonderful and kept us updated with how her stay was going and pics of the pets! Would book again!

Suzanne and John were excellent. I highly recommend them to house/pet sit to anyone. We have three pets, a cat, dog and parrot. Not the easiest combination to work with since they all have different needs. However, Suzanne and John handled them expertly. Pictures and videos she sent showed that they were in good hands and having fun. Also, our house was in immaculate condition after they left.
Again, they were a great find and would definitely use them in the future.

Rachel is an amazing house/pet sitter, honestly the best I've ever had, and I would gladly have her back any time. My partner and I have a Siamese cat that can be very untrusting with anyone other than us, so travel has always been difficult. Even having visitors over can be difficult at times. I was quite concerned and stressed about having to leave for an extended period of time. At over 4 months, this was the longest I would ever have been away from Efi (the cat). I was honestly so worried and stressed about how I could be away for that long, and it felt like an impossibility until we met Rachel. 

Rachel eased every anxiety I had leading up to our departure and through the months we were away. She was calm, caring, responsible, and completely naturally in tune with what I needed in terms of communication to comfort my worries about being away. Every time I had even the smallest pang of anxiety or even just missing Efi, it seemed that Rachel somehow knew and perfectly timed an update for me. I have honestly never been so at ease being away from home and Efi, and I owe it all to Rachel. I loved receiving pictures, videos, and great stories from home. Rachel is also a fantastic storyteller, so I thoroughly enjoyed my long form updates. And to my surprise, Efi warmed up to her within a very short period of time. Rachel's patience, awareness, and respect of Efi's unique needs showed quickly. Within one week I was receiving pictures of Efi cuddled on Rachel's lap (I thought it would take at least 3 or more!). Efi always seemed so happy, calm, peaceful, and she didn't seem to miss me in the least which was such a relief. 

Rachel also kept our home running so smoothly while we were gone without any hiccups. She organized house cleanings, managed our mail, our deliveries, our plants and patio, and every aspect of taking care of our beautiful home. She was also easily able to manage a vet visit for Efi to get her nails trimmed (I'm the only person who she allows to touch her paws). This was something I imagined might be impossible for someone else to do as it involved getting her into the carrier. It went off without a hitch. She also accommodated an extension to our trip which was so helpful. Rachel has my full trust and I only have great things to say about her. Again, I'd gladly welcome her back any day, and so would Efi!

Joanne and Carl’s beautiful home is welcoming and comfortable. Lulu and Booger were as advertised. Lulu warmed up well. Booger, more shy and was peeking at me from around corners. Definitely would sit there again!
