It was an absolute treat caring for Kitty in Lisa's home. Kitty is gentle and independent and loves cuddles and playtime. She really was the perfect companion. Lisa was a wonderful host, with clear instructions and a beautiful space designed to be peaceful and serene. Her home is central, very easily accessible by public transport and there is a market just two blocks away which made it easy to get groceries for my week stay. I would be happy to return anytime should our schedules align, and anyone would find this to be a truly great pet-sitting experience.
I highly recommend a stay in London with charming Mario! I had an unforgettable time at Ilarias and Fedes home and was allowed to look after the enchanting Mario. Mario is a very well-behaved cat and easy to seduce with snacks and cuddles. All responsibilities were clearly communicated and I was always able to get in touch if I had any questions The flat has everything you need for a pleasant stay and is in a great location between two railway stations and a large supermarket is just around the corner. (btw love the morning view from the balcony with sun and a cup of coffee) I had a great time and was able to explore London with great tips from the host. Thanks again and hope to see you soon
After spending just over two weeks at Maggie's beautifully restored cottage/complex, which included private accommodation, we felt incredibly grateful to have had a taste of rural Cyprus in the picturesque historical village of Kato Drys. Bumble the dog had such personality and was so affectionate, and the 3 indoor cats (Smokey Joe, Maisie & Flo) were such characters and a pleasure to be around. Having access to a private swimming pool and vegetable garden was a real bonus. Maggie was incredibly tentative and thorough in her handover and maintained regular communication throughout. She also gave us great insights into life in Cyprus and the best places to visit using her car. We'd highly recommend this if you're looking for either a chilled break or as a location to see more of authentic Cyprus. Just to note, you will need a good level of fitness due to walking in the heat twice a day and the upkeep of the cats/stray cats as well as the possibility of encountering snakes (as we found is a given in most of rural Europe). Overall this has been our favourite to date and our 4th house sit. We'd love to be invited back again in the future. Thank you Maggie & all the pets (we miss you already) 🐱🐶
I had a wonderful time staying at Isaac’s place and watching Keanu, I’d do it again in a heartbeat! Keanu is just so sweet and one of the most well-behaved dogs I’ve ever experienced: social, disciplined, perfect recall, she truly enjoys being a good girl. Taking her along as I went about my day felt very easy and safe. You’ll fall in love with her within a few hours ;) Also, the apartment is really beautiful, cozy, and in the best location you could ask for (central, plenty of bars and restaurants, Alamo Square Park just around the corner). I wish I could give an extra star!
This sit checked all the boxes of a wish list home and pet sit! Amazing Corgie - Check! Fantastic pup parents - Check! Gorgeous home that was created with love - Check! Beautiful seaside community - Check! Sits do not get any better than this, and I am grateful they chose me! Augie was my first time bucket list Corgie, and he did not disappoint! He has the cutest personality! He kept my husband and I laughing the entire time we were with him. He is a spreader of joy, everywhere we went on adventures he greeted people and changed their day to happiness. Anne and Dave are terrific pup parents, it is obvious that they adore this little guy. They were superb communicators from start to finish which is always a perfect scenario in ensuring the sit will be one of excellence. No kinder hosts would you find then this couple! We were so blessed to have the opportunity to care for Augie and their lovely home. We are looking forward to sitting for them once again in February! If you have the honor of being invited to sit for this family, do not hesitate!
How lucky we felt to have Dwaine and Kathy pick us to watch over their home, Prince and Dixon. We arrived a day early so we were able to meet everyone and what a pleasure it was. We so enjoyed dinner with you Dwaine and also to learn the new game of Peg and Joker. Prince and Dixon were sweet and playful dogs. Dixon loves to snuggle on the couch or join you in bed the next morning. They both defiantly love to get out and take their walks and then come back to get a treat. We found the town of Okotoks to have everything you would need. We loved the quaintness of old main street downtown and also the new area. We enjoyed being able to visit Calgary which was only a 20-25 minutes away. We hope to see you both while you are visiting your friends while in Arizona, and would love to take you out boat ride. We would defiantly consider doing another house sit for Dwaine and Kathy for sure.
