Emmi kindly agreed to come the day before I left which was much appreciated and I was happy to pick her up from the train station. She was a lovely bubbly, friendly person, easy to have in my home. Emmi contacted me once when I was away with a picture of Alfie on a walk and on one other occasion to seek help with feeding Alfie as she had a personal appt that overlapped his evening meal time. I was happy to do this as had offered support like that from sister who lived nearby if she wanted to leave him for longer than the preferred 4-5 hours, something I offer to all my sitters so they can enjoy the local area. Unfortunately she did leave him for longer than I anticipated or my sister would have taken him to her house. I think Emmi struggled with planning ahead travel arrangements to and from Edinburgh perhaps not anticipating how long buses took, though trains half the time but don’t run after midnight. Alfie seemed relaxed around Emmi though I think his walking and feeding routine was not as he was accustomed to. I always tell sitters just to leave the bedding etc as I am happy to do all that when I get home preferring the attention to be on Alfie. Emmi left my home tidy though I would have preferred half eaten food to have been removed from the fridge and maybe the bathroom bin emptied Emmi seemed to have left her packing until the very last minute so was a bit rushed when I got home but we did make it to the train station in time for her onward journey

This was such a great sit! Cynthia and Jonathan's home is in an incredible neighborhood within a short walk to the metro and multiple cafes, bakeries, restaurants, and grocery stores. The house itself is beautifully renovated with modern décor and amenities while maintaining historic charm, and the kitchen is well-appointed including instant pot and Vitamix. This house was extremely ideal for us as a remotely working couple because there are two workspaces in separate rooms with desks, chairs, monitors, and keyboards that we could connect our laptops to. Wifi was also great with two people on video calls at the same time. As a bonus, there is space in the basement for watching TV and an open space with a wall mirror for exercising.

And Mochi, what an amazing cat! She is super friendly and social, and she doesn't have any difficult behaviors to manage. She loves looking out the window and playing with pieces of rope/string we would pull around. Plus she would adorably roll over on her back to ask for belly rubs (and we were more than happy to comply with her requests), so cute! Mochi is very easy to take care of: basically a 10 min routine in the morning of litter box, replenish feed, fresh water, brush teeth and coat, and then play time and love on her throughout the day. She did have some health issues while we there but Cynthia was incredible about communication and helping us work through it. Cynthia is also super organized, which was very helpful as well.

Thank you Cynthia and Jonathan! We loved having Mochi's companionship during our stay at your beautiful home.

Mafalda & Conor
Weriqi is an absolutely wonderful dog who has had a really difficult start in life, as such she has some less than ideal behaviours and is quite reactive, but on the whole she is loving and playful and protective. I would not have felt as comfortable in Addis without her by my side. I feel very honoured to have spent nearly 2 weeks taking care of her and sharing her home.

Conor and Mafalda were communicative and patient, and made sure to answer my many questions. I really appreciate their efforts and recommendations regarding Addis Ababa and their neighbourhood
