Axel was wonderful and even came up a day early to get the keys. I really appreciated his flexibility and it seemed as though crou was in good hands. He left the apartment as clean asas I left it.

Neema and Jacob are a delightful couple-attentive to the needs of both pets and the home. They took the dogs for two walks a day and were sympathetic to their early separation anxiety. They left the house spotless and put fresh linen on our bed. They agreed to come a day before we left  so that they had the time for the dogs to get to know them, and to leave a day later because we only returned in the early evening. Jacob even presented us with a beer on our return home to help overcome our weariness  after a long flight .We highly recommend them as zeewoi.

What a great stay! Harry and Lloyd are the sweetest girls ever. Lloyd was a bit more timid to begin with but soon became my shadow, always at my side and ready for head scratches. Harry is such a chatty little thing, always curious, very outgoing, and great at hide and seek 😅 Both are big fans of belly rubs, love a good brush, and were such great company in a beautiful family home! Communication with David was great, he was always there to answer any questions and I felt very welcome. Wish I could’ve stayed longer, and hope to sit again! Thanks so much! :)

Glen
Our stay at Glen and John's house was incredible, we had a great time during the two weeks we were in their home. It is a very quiet place with a beautiful view of the sea, ideal for relaxing. 

Alfie and Ruby are the most adorable kittens ever, they are very independent, they know their eating routines and they will let you know when they want affection. At first they took their time getting to know us but then they loved the caresses and gifts. We miss you so much! 

Glen and John are very friendly, from the first moment they gave us a nice welcome and were really concerned that our stay was the best possible, we are very grateful for having met them!

I had such a wonderful time staying at Alli and Jake's! Hank and Finn are the sweetest. We quickly bonded and enjoyed many beautiful walks around Ardsley Park.  Both dogs are very well trained, loving and playful. I miss them!

Alli and Jake thought of everything and made my stay so lovely. Their home is so beautifully decorated, light, clean and I felt right at home.  They are such a sweet couple, I hope to stay in touch with them. If you have the opportunity to care for Hank and Finn I wouldn't pass it up!

We absolutely loved staying here with the world’s most friendly, chilled out cat. The house is lovely and right on the doorstep of Meersbrook Park. Tom and his family were very kind to us and too easy to communicate with. We’d love to come back and we feel a bit sad to leave!

Pet-Friendly Accommodation with Cleanliness Issues:

~3 Weeks before the start date of the sit I had 
a video call with Manu where he showed me the house, the dog, and said that there would be a cleaning lady passing by the property shortly before I'd arrive. Feeling comfortable with everything presented on the call, as well as reading the reviews, I was looking forward to this sit. 

Unfortunately, there were quite a few cleanliness issues that weren't shown / communicated on the call:
 - Most cups/glasses/plates/pots had to be cleaned before using them due to food remainders or burned stains in them (some I wasn't even able to remove, so I couldn't use all of them). It seemed as if the dishwasher needed quite some fixes in order to properly clean.
 - The carpet was full of stains and was mostly grey/dark on the stairs (and in other parts of it upstairs) - it looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a veeery long time.
 - While they said that the house was older and it needed renovation, I can understand if some things don't work. However, having spiderwebs in multiple places on the ceiling that apparently never get removed, finding a whole bunch of moths, and a stuffy smell, gave the impression that overall cleanliness standards were fairly low. What helped in dealing with that was leaving the doors and windows open due to the great weather (no need for AC!). Thankfully, there were mosquito nets on all of them.
 - The dishwasher stopped working a few days into may stay, so I was left with 2 weeks washing dishes by hand.
 - While they left me Delphine's bike, the air in the tires was low and I was unable to find the pump / access to the garage was barely possible as my code didn't work. Besides, the seat was too low for me and the tool for adjusting it was not provided either. This was a major downside as the area is very bike-friendly and using it more would've saved me quite some money on transportation. Due to the condition of the bike, I could only use it for very short distances.
 - Bed bugs: I washed the sheets and blankets a couple of times AND ironed them afterwards, but there was just always an itchy feeling when sleeping, so the quality of rest was low. And, I found bugs on the bed on numerous days.

The more positives sides of this sit: 

Kimi is a calm and great dog, well-trained. She takes a bit of time to get acquainted with you, and that's perfectly fine. Instructions to take care of her are very well prepared and really clear. At some point, she even started to demand her cuddles, which showed her becoming comfy with me. In summary, I'm grateful that I got the chance to take care of her.

The work station in the living room was a great setup for calls, and the foot massage device is fabulous. They had also planted some herbs, fruits, and veggies in the garden, which tasted great. Manu, Delphine, and the kids are a very kind family, and I'm grateful I got to meet them in person. 

I completed the house sit despite the issues as I committed to it and just dealt with them as they arose. Mentioning all of the issues would've likely resulted in unnecessary stress for everybody involved and I didn't want that. And, I put the priority on ensuring that Kimi is well taken care of, without worry or interruption of the family's holiday.

Overall, I hope that the newly renovated house that the family will move into will be maintained at a better cleanliness standard.
