Pet Sitters in Gemeente Best

Henk and Cora are experienced and wonderful house sitters. This was their second visit to us, and again they looked after our house and animals beautifully. Lucky Jenga got a walk every day and the hens were saved from Mr Fox by quick thinking by Henk. We now regard Cora and Henk as friends and we are looking forward to welcoming them again in June.

We had Maarten-Dolf stay at our house in Greece for 10 days to take care of our home and our three dogs. We are grateful for Maarten's efforts in keeping the house in good order and ensuring our dogs were well-fed and safe during our absence. Overall, we appreciate Maarten's contribution and hope this feedback is helpful for future house-sitting experiences.

Pip was just amazing! Clear communication, very tidy, helpful, respectful, and also flexible. My sassy little one already started giving her kisses way sooner than her usual 'getting accustomed to' time, which is a stellar rating on its own. No need for me to comment more :) Thanks, Pip!

Thank you to Wendy and Marc who had a flying visit for one night but made a huge effort to look after my dogs. The dogs bonded with them immediately and I felt confident to know they would take great care of the dogs and our home.

Rod was immediately easy to get on with and Sydney settled with him straight away. No dramas at all whilst we were away and Rod kept us updated . Both house and Sydney in great shape on our return No hesitation in recommending for future sits.

Claire took care of our three guinea pigs wonderfully. One got ill just before she arrived and she nursed him really well while we were away, keeping us updated the whole time. She cleaned their enclosure impeccably and left our house clean and tidy! We would happily have her sit for us again and recommend her wholeheartedly to any pet parents around the world. Thank you Claire!

Vera looked after our English Bulldog for one night & everything went very smoothly. Vera was so sweet, very competent & organised & the communication was great!! We have no doubt that Basil was happy & well taken care of while we were away.

Ludmila has shown herself responsible and interested in Boni's habits and the care and attention she had to provide her. It has been easy to communicate with her and she has been informing us and sending us photos and videos of our kitten. On the other hand, she has taken care of our house and we have found it clean and tidy.

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.

Anastasia (with help from her friend Bex) looked after my kitties for approx 1 and half months. She was very self-sufficient and also helpfully looked out for some expensive posted items that were sent to me whilst I was away! For this stay I actually had 2 sitters and she was able to liaise with the 2nd one about key arrangements etc for the handover and get everything clean enough for them to move in straight after!

Maud treated my apartment with the greatest respect and left everything in perfect condition. The communication was reliable and easygoing - Maud is very friendly :-) We had agreed on the sit already when my cat passed away rather unexpectedly so Maud only took care of my plants in the end, but I am convinced that her care for a pet would have been equally thorough and careful! :-)

Els was wonderful! She really had her hands full with our young Boxer, Cosmo (the breed can hard work, particularly young ones) but she seemed to take it all in her stride. She definitely knows how to handle big dogs and Cosmo exhibited nothing but respect and affection towards her, i’m sure because of her very calm and assuring nature. She left our house super clean and tidy and even washed all the sheets/towels etc. that were used during her stay. And to top it all off, she left us some fabulous drawings of our Cosmo that 100% capture his Cosmo-ness completely. Thanks again Els, we really appreciate it!
