We, and Izzie, are so lucky to have had Lucy sit for us! She was everything we could have hoped for, given our skittish, shy and nervy (but very loving) girl and what she needs to be happy and relaxed. It was pretty clear from the several web chats we had in advance that Lucy should be fine, but on meeting her in person we were even more reassured that she was the right human for Izzie. Lucy kept us updated daily on how Izzie was doing and most days we got photos and/or short videos. By the end of Day 2 we were completely at ease and could enjoy our time away without worrying about Izzie as it was clear that she had accepted Lucy as part of the family and was coming to her for regular cuddles, chats and just to hang out nearby. Izzie is very choosy about giving anyone other than me -- Nancy -- cuddles and chats. Even poor Richard is loved mostly as the provider of meals and only infrequently gets cuddles. We are discussing another sit later this with month with Lucy as we can't imagine anyone who could be better with Izzie. For us the important thing about a sitter is their interaction with Izzie, everything else is secondary. However, the house was spotless on our return and Lucy, and husband Gareth, who joined her for a few days, enjoyed staying in our home and had the chance to meet a few of our neighbours. On our return we had a catch-up over tea and also found many points in common in our interests and experiences and our 'brief chat' went on for several hours. Izzie, Richard and I recommend Lucy very very highly. If you want your cat to get undivided love and affection while you're away -- Lucy is the sitter for you.

Elsa
There are not enough nice things to say about Elsa and her cats, Ginger and Snap! She is the most hospitable host, kind and thoughtful and her home was lovely. Great communication during the stay. Ginger and Snap are such cuties and so easygoing and friendly. We had an easy walk to the Metro station which allowed us to sightsee DC and surrounding area!
This was a great sit and we would love to do it again! We highly recommend this sit!

Victoria and Steve are such a lovely couple! Communication was clear and concise throughout the whole process.

Their home was cozy, spacious, very clean and such a relaxing spot to spend some time. 

Max and Pip were the most darling pups. They loved snuggles, a good tummy scratch and lots of walks. 

I’m so thankful for my time here and I would sit for this family anytime. Anyone would be lucky to sit for them too!

I had such a great time housesitting for Brenda and Michael! They are welcoming, generous, and ensured to make me feel at home before they left on vacation. Throughout the 10 days, they were very communicative and quickly answered my questions. 

Buttons and Socks are such precious little ones and I miss them so much! They are very easy to take care of so much of the sit is enjoying all their snuggles and playing with them. :) Other times, they keep each other entertained, which is quite entertaining in itself. I would love to come back again and definitely recommend this housesit to others out there!

The bunnies were so fun to look after and a wonderfully cute break to my normal routine! Vita was very accessible and available which made everything smooth and easy. The apartment and the view are gorgeous as well!

Viviane gave us detailed instructions and useful tips which made our stay a pleasure - both for us and the cats. We were able to read up on everything before coming and then she showed us around, so that we didn't have any trouble finding everything necessary. The cats, Black and Sabbath, were super friendly, even if Sabbath needed a day or two to get completely used to us.  The apartment is in a very good location, half an hour's walk from the London Eye. All in all, a great host and a great catsitting experience!

Christine’s  home was comfortable and the location was fantastic! She is easy to communicate with and has the best personality. I would recommend this sit to anyone who wants to visit Miami in a beautiful location and care for low maintenance cats.
