Manuela is a very sweet girl. She is social and kind to others. She helped my parents a lot (who live next door) and my mother really was a great fan of her. So she has good social skills. Manuela uses this site so she can find a place to stay, while she is looking for a job in the Netherlands or elsewhere in Europe. While she was staying in NL, she was following a study at the University. All that of course is not a problem at all; I realize that a lot of people here are using this site to find free or cheap accomodation. However this is a pet site, so the reliability and the quality of the petsitting should be the primary focus. 10 days before the sitting would take place, she informed me that she wouldn't be able to be present during the entire sit due to an in-person conference at the university that would last for a week. Of course this was less then ideal to me but since it was impossible to find another petsitter on such a short notice I went out of my way to find a replacement, and decided to pursue with her as my petsitter. However, half way during her stay she mentioned she would be gone for another week to do her exams at the university. So out of the entire month, she was only present for 50% of it. I had to make sure that I could find a replacement again. Luckily my stepdad was willing to take the care upon him. My pets are my babies so it is super important for me that the petsitter who applies for a period, actually is there the entire period. One of my cats, Frances was not eating well during her stay at my house. Of course that can happen; animals can get sick any time and that doesn't need to be a result of the care. However, my stepdad told me that the bowls in where the cats got their food in, were not clean and got dirty and even mold in it. When he stepped in and cleaned the bowls, Frances started eating again and after a couple of days he was back on his normal eating pattern. Another incident was with the rabbits, I gave her a manual in where I explicitly told her which veggies to give the rabbits and which not. I was not amused to see that she had fed them an entire plate of cut up carrots, while I had told her that they could only have a little piece of a carrot per day. My rabbits have supersensitive intestines and quickly to get gas problems. Carrots have a lot of sugar, so an entire plate can cause problems. Manuela did apply requests I made during my stay abroad; she did apply a spray against flies, when I asked her to and even washed one of the bunnies when that needed to happen. When I came home, I had to do some cleaning. Manuela hadn't noticed that the cats had been spraying on different places, including the kitchen counter and kitchen walls and cabinets. The state of the house was less important to me; I did notice she had cleaned the rabbit area very well so I was happy about that. I think Manuela did her best but just is a bit more casual about things then I would be.

My time at Mia, Trish, and Dave's place was beyond wonderful. From interview connection to departure at the end of my sit. It was seamless regarding communication, hospitality, and instructions. Trish and Dave were thorough, flexible, and genuine- just wanting their Mia cared well for.

And my Birthday twin, Mia, is a ball of energy that doubles as an affectionate cuddlebug wanting genuine presence- and it wasn't hard to yield. Needless to say, I thoroughly enjoyed my sit- the people, pup, and central London. And I'm hopeful I will get to return. For anyone that reads this, don't miss out on this sit! there is genuine connection here.

Another great staycation. The kitties took two days to figure me out but there were all about it once we relaxed. We had lots of fun together. 
Love the location and the building was safe and quiet. 
Communication between Jarmila and myself was perfect and I always felt that I could touch base with her if I needed to. She is a wonderful host and I would be happy to sit again!

I absolutely enjoyed my sit with Tumba and Cappa! Michael &Julia were great! They were very thorough about the responsibilities and they made everything welcoming. Their home is very lovely with great energy✨ Cappa is such a sweetheart and she loves treats. Tumba is very laid back and stand offish at first, but warmed up eventually. The neighborhood is very walkable with lots of coffee shops etc. I would welcome and opportunity to sit again.

We had a lovely few days in Celia's beautiful home in the Cotswolds, looking after three very sweet whippets; Puffin, Scrimp & Scampie. We took to calling them 'the ladies' and we loved them all but developed a particular soft spot for Shrimp, we could have taken her home! The ladies were a pleasure to look after; affectionate and well behaved. 

Hampnett is a lovely peaceful village with a nice community feel, we bumped into some really friendly neighbors on our walks. The location is also great for exploring more of the Cotswolds, with market towns and country houses within easy reach. 

Thank you Celia for entrusting us with your pets and home. We had a great time and hope to return one day.

Stevie is the best little thing ever. She purrs up a storm on your lap and loves a cuddle. And both of us had a lot of fun playing with her laser pen. Hannah was very welcoming and her house is so beautiful. I can definitely recommend both Stevie and Hannah.

Excellent experience in Monterrey with Hanna, I spend 6 days taking care of her three dogs and three cats.

It was challenging as they need to be walked constantly but the puppies are well behaved! There is just a little bit of affection for Hanna absence for Campana, but nothing that can be out of control.

And cats very peacefully.

I’m very thankful for choosing me as the pet sitter! Hope to see everybody again.
