Hanna dog sat our dog Kiwi at our house in Mallorca for 2.5 weeks in Aug/Sep 2024. In short, we had a fantastic experience with her and would highly recommend her! Hanna was very precise and punctual with her communication during the initial coordination and communication for her dog sit. She prepared an extensive list of questions about caring for Kiwi that gave us a lot of comfort in her, especially for a longer vacation. We had only just moved into our house a few weeks before this trip, and we were still learning the house ourselves during the handover to Hanna. Hanna was very flexible in accommodating our asks like watering the garden and refilling the pool, and took great care to absorb all the information and make sure she was prepared while we were away. During the stay there were quite a few hiccups and surprises with the house (an old Spanish finca) but Hanna dealt with everything (water leaks and a broken window) very smoothly and always kept us informed. We also had regular (p)updates and pictures, reassuring us that everything was well at home. She also cared for the local cat (Garfield) which is actually not our car but just comes by our house for some food. When we got back, our house was totally clean and tidy and it was hard to tell Hanna had lived there for more than 2 weeks! All in all, we had a great experience with Hanna, totally five-star, and would highly recommend her if you are looking for a reliable and trustworthy pet and house sitter!

Ana
I had a truly lovely time in Gland with Toby! Ana and Jacques were amazing hosts. We had had conversations and several ways of keeping in touch prior to the sit. Ana sent some great information about the apartment, Toby and the many things to do in nearby Switzerland.
On arrival, Ana made evrything easy by collecting me from the airport, taking me grocery shopping and producing a local specialty meal on my arrival and departure. 
Toby and I got on well. He loves talking and purring and I enjoyed out time together.
Thank you Ana and Jacques for a wonderful stay. I hope we can catch up again soon!

Shelly
Shelly and Steven’s sit for their adorable and loving Westies, Finnegan and Nessie, was an absolute pleasure. We’d not spent any time with West Highland White Terriers before and found them to be a unique mix of cuddly yet robust dogs. They have a strong prey drive and loved spending time in the backyard attempting to catch squirrels. On walks, which we did plenty of, they could go for miles and miles. We enjoyed walks along Lake Ontario and in the bustling upscale town center, which is very close to the house. 

Speaking of the house—it’s spacious and well appointed, not to mention extremely comfortable and lovingly decorated. For us, the house itself was a destination and we spent a lot of time at home, including cooking in the large amenity-rich kitchen. The neighborhood is full of beautiful homes with mature trees. The whole vibe is quite bucolic and relaxing. 

Steve and Shelly are amazing hosts. They allowed us to store some of our luggage ahead of time for a mini trip to Niagara Falls before the sit started. And when we arrived for the sit their generosity and hospitality was next level. They had a welcome basket of Canadian goodies that we enjoyed eating and drinking. We really appreciated that they allocated some drawers and wardrobe space for us as well. They truly made us feel welcome in their home. 

Communication before and during the sit was prompt which we’re grateful as we needed their assistance for a house matter at one point during the sit that they helped us get resolved. 

We miss Nessie and Finn already and will fondly recall their snuggles and goofy antics. We highly recommend snagging a sit with Shelly and Steven; you’re sure to have a relaxing, comfortable, welcoming and cuddle-filled pet sit.

Ellie and Jordan were great hosts, great with communication and very welcoming. Cubby and Nila are gorgeous cats, very laid back and super easy and fun to look after! We would happily sit again 🥰

Rachael
Rachael, Daniel, and Sapphire were incredibly generous hosts.  We very much enjoyed our time with them prior to their leaving and upon their return.  We would not hesitate returning to take care of Cali and their new fur baby, Illy.
Cali is absolutely adorable and filled with personality!  We enjoyed watching him watch tennis on the t.v., his head going back and forth watching the movement of the ball.  He was very patient with us as we took care of his daily grooming needs.  Taking care of him was not difficult at all and we had a lot of fun doing it.

Get ready to spend your last day planning how to fit Beck in your luggage because you will not want to leave this little cuddle bug. He is so smart and LOVING we had the best time with him. Sharon is open and lovely and welcoming and her home is really a gem you must sit at this home if you are ever in St Louis I know we will come back!
