It’s one thing to ask a sitter to watch your home and care for your pets knowing they can just text or call you if they have questions or run into an emergency. It’s another to ask a sitter to do that when you are out of contact 90% of the time! Amanda was the perfect zeewoi to put my mind at ease knowing that both my husband and I would be unreachable most of our time away. She is self-sufficient, intelligent, organized, astute and observant, and after our initial phone chat and intro when she arrived, I felt 100% confident she could handle any situation that might arise. Amanda took great care of our 3 cats and was also fantastic with the 3 foster kittens we are currently caring for in my office. While I had asked her up front if she felt comfortable with the additional care responsibilities, I still felt bad adding more to her plate as the kittens do require more time/attention than our 3 adult cats. Fortunately, she was willing to take on the task and I’m so appreciative of that. She was communicative leading up to the stay, asked thoughtful questions regarding the home, cats, plants, etc, and sent cat and kitten updates even though we were off the grid much of the time. She left the house and my car immaculate. I wholeheartedly recommend Amanda for house-sitting & pet-sitting opportunities. She is a perfect house-guest and a delightful human! We would love to host her again in the future, whether she is sitting or not!

This was a really lovely house sit in all regards!

Billy is such a sweet dog and I enjoyed his company so much!  I loved being out with him on walks as well as around the house and garden.  He's very easy to look after, affectionate, well-behaved, and just generally a wonderful doggie!  

The house is very nice, very comfortable, and well equipped, with wonderful fields and views surrounding it.  It was a breath of fresh air and super relaxing.  There is a log burner which I didn't really need as the weather was pretty mild, although I did have a fire on a couple of the chillier nights and it's such a nice thing to settle down with and cuddle Billy :)

The location is great as I said and very accessible to lots of great walks etc. 

The hosts were wonderful.  I was mainly in touch with Helen who was great and found the communication really easy, friendly, warm, and she is extremely helpful.  I felt very relaxed because of this (as it's an important feature of any sit), so yes I was very grateful for the approachable and kind interactions throughout the sit. 

There is lots more I could say, but suffice to say it was just brilliant!  I would definitely house sit here again and highly recommend a sit with Billy!

Thanks for everything!

5 star homeowners! Marilyn and Gonzalo are a lovely couple; very friendly, kind and appreciative of everything you do.They live in a beautiful, bright apartment in a great location with shops, restaurants and easy access to everything. Marilyn is super organized and the orientation included everything I needed to know, backed up by the house sitters guide. The VIP, Caracolita, was a real character and so cute and lovable.. She loved her strokes and tummy rubs. She would be waiting on my bed when I got back from being out, so she could have her dinner. In  the morning a little head would appear around the corner and we'd go together for her breakfast and her playtime! Thank you Marilyn and Gonzalo for a smashing house sit and you Caracolita are sadly missed! You were fun to be around and I miss you!

Chilli and Pam are lovely, affectionate dogs and I enjoyed my short time with them. Communication with Laura was easy and she left lots of clear info on the dogs.

This was a unique sit for me because I not only had a dog - the lovely, sweet Bailey - but also Thor, a bearded dragon! After talking with Liz I felt comfortable taking on a new challenge. In fact, Thor was quite easy to care for. Liz informed me before they left that he was in a more dormant state, so he spent much of the time inactive. I did pick him up and give him a little lizard love everyday; he seemed to enjoy the contact. Also, Thor is quite beautiful and I loved watching his tiny tongue dart out to drink the water I dropped on his snout.
Bailey is a big softie. He was a little shy with me the first day or so but became quite fond of me when he realized I was the giver of daily walks around the neighborhood (there is a green belt behind their house with a walking path around it; it is full of rabbits!! I loved seeing them hop around at dusk, when it was a bit cooler), treats and brushes. :- ) He really really likes being brushed. We had one summer thunderstorm which Bailey did not care for (like many older dogs) but he came through it like a champ, sitting near me until it was over. 
Liz’s home is big and beautiful. The guest room and adjacent bathroom were very comfortable and Liz made me feel very welcome. She answered texts quickly and kept me informed of their delayed flight status on their return day. It was a very peaceful sit with two peaceful animals. I’d be happy to care for them both again.
