Our stay with sweet Mollie was absolutely wonderful. Gill and Will were such generous hosts and left us with everything we could possibly need for a great stay in Cardiff. Mollie is a delightful pup who enjoys lots of cuddles and walks to the park. Would highly recomendable watching Mollie to anyone interested!

Morgan
We had the most fabulous house sit with Morgan and Charley.  Right from the get go Morgan provided us with a thorough welcome guide which was super helpful to be able to read up on the sit before arriving.  This provided a seamless hand over as Morgan had left a few days earlier, so her friend was there to welcome us and walk us through Charley's requirements.  Charley won our hearts immediately and enjoyed going out with us on our daily coffee walks. He was shy to begin with and that showed with him being a little picky with his food, but a couple of days in, he was enjoying his food again.  He is the most chilled relaxed little guy I have ever come across and even convinced us that he should be sleeping on the bed.  Morgan's apartment is centrally located in the heart of Girona city being only minutes walk from the Old Town, cafe's, restaurants, supermarkets, markets, hiking tracks and biking tracks.  Everything you need is on your doorstep. The train station is about a 10 min walk.  We found Girona very easy to slip into the lifestyle of all our activities along with enjoying the company of meeting lots of expats.  It was a joy to housesit for Morgan, I even had a wee tear in my eye when it came to say goodbye to Charley.

I enjoyed my stay at Kirsty's taking care of her three friendly kitties. The cats were very fun and easy to care for, and the apartment was spacious and in a good location.

If you've ever wondered how the perfect housesit would look like, you will find it here!

Our beloved Mila and Sam are one of the most special dogs we have ever met and we were totally heartbroken when we had to say goodbye to them! We bonded with them from the very beginning and they gave us unconditional love. We worked from there and they became our best companions. You can’t tell how therapeutic was cuddling into them after a stressful day at work…
We spoilt them and treated as our babies 😍
Their demeanor is great. They are super obedient, and they really enjoy their walks ( in particular if you go to the beach with them)

Their pet family Eve and Matisse are one of the most extraordinary hosts we have ever met! Super hospitable, generous & friendly!

We had the chance to spend a couple of days with them and they felt like lovely old friends!

Their house is gorgeous and comfortable, located in a residential area in the beautiful village of Praia da Areia Branca. If you are into surfing🏄🏼‍♂️, this is your  place! The beach is two steps from the house, and you can be in some of the best surf spots of Portugal within less than 20-30 mins drive! Amazing! 

We shared with Eve tons of pics during the day, as we believe communication is key for the owners’ peace of mind.

We would never hesitate to recommend this sit to anyone, absolutely 5 star! 

We are so delightful to have met you all and cannot thank you enough for everything!

We really hope to meet you again soon! In Portugal, Belgium or in our hometown Gijon! 

Give Mila&Sam all our love🫶🏻, we miss them already! 🐾🐕‍🦺🐩🐾

Meadow
I had a great experience at Meadow's house! Before the sit, she shared a detailed welcome guide and we chatted by phone. I got to meet her in person on my first day, which was wonderful! I feel like we're becoming friends, which isn't something I expect from a sit but is a wonderful bonus!

The house was clean and comfortable with a great view of the river from the kitchen table and a lovely fenced yard to hang out in. The dogs were sweet and friendly and low-maintenance but love snuggles. I miss them!

I highly recommend this sit and am looking forward to another chance to stay at Meadow's house!

Claudia
I truly enjoyed caring for Bug and staying in Claudia and Ankur’s home for the weekend.

Pet:
Bug is such a sweet cat. He is super friendly and would sleep on my lap while I did work and cozy up next to me on the couch. While Bug sleeps most of the day, he occasionally gets the “zoomies” and darts all over the apartment, which is quite entertaining. I already miss sweet Bug!

Home:
Claudia’s home is very welcoming, and I felt quite comfortable staying there. Claudia left a detailed guide for their home, from what Netflix profile to watch TV on to how to operate their Bluetooth speakers. I appreciated having the answers to any little questions right there, and it made me feel right at home.

Location:
Fantastic! I did not feel there was a need for a car and had no issues using transit to get from the airport to their place and back. Their place is steps away from all the fun shops, restaurants, and activities in Andersonville and a train ride away from Chicago... you will not be bored.

I recommend this sit and would stay again in a heartbeat!
