This was my first time having a stranger stay at my place, so this was a big deal for me. I had a good feeling about Kyle from the start and was excited about the idea of helping a fellow Bostonian see the unparalleled city of Austin. Like me, he works from home in the healthcare industry. I had the privilege of meeting Kyle on the first day of the sit. I found him to be friendly, funny, and affable. As this was my first time having a sitter, I texted Kyle details of the apartment and pet care as I thought of them. I appreciated him baring with me through this as I am working to now compile a user-friendly guide. Kyle was sure to communicate frequently. He updated me often about his arrival and departure and also sent pictures of himself with Gypsy during the stay. He also gave me a heads up about having someone over. The only questions he had were about the laundry, which evidently was the one thing I didn't go over. He was self-sufficient and attentive to the fine details of the apartment and the care of my cat. Kyle relieved the stress of stress of separation anxiety my cat goes through when left alone, therefore relieving me of inevitable guilt. My cat seemed to be at ease when I returned home. I could tell she missed me, but she did not seem stressed whatsoever! As Kyle promised, the apartment was not only just as clean as I left it, but cleaner. I have a bad habit of stuffing my recycling underneath the sink and procrastinating the removal. I was pleasantly surprised to find Kyle emptied the whole thing. In this he must have discovered I'm a beer drinker because he also left me a 6 pack! Not only this, but he left a bunch of food, which is great because I'll eat anything you leave in my apartment. Would absolutely have Kyle again. Highly recommend him to give you and your pets ease when traveling.

Karen, as always, was great watching Curly and our home.  She is reliable and always including Curly in what she does.  She takes him on trips and walks to new places. I know Curly gets more attention when she watches him because she loves him so much!  Karen is great about following instructions with Curly or the house in general.  We appreciate Karen's regular updates to us on Curly's status.  As we are away that helps us feel comfortable that everything at home is ok.  I highly recommend Karen as a future pet sitter for anyone.

Tom
We had a great time taking care of Tom and Audrey’s home and gorgeous dogs Chewy and Ninja. The dogs are delightful, friendly and we had lots of fun on the beach.

Tom and Audrey are generous, relaxed hosts and we felt confident that it would be a great sit from the start.  The communication with Audrey before the sit was excellent and we kept in touch during the sit on a daily basis with updates of our adventures. Audrey provided lots of helpful information about the local area, restaurants and transport.

The house is lovely, with stunning views over the sea, and although it was a bit chilly for swimming the pool would be great in summer.

Arenys de Mar is a perfect size village with everything you could need. It’s close to great coastal walks and woodland and is easy to reach on the train from Barcelona. A car would allow you to visit the neighbouring villages and do bigger grocery shops. 

Overall, this was a great first international sitting experience for us! Thanks for your hospitality Tom and Audrey. We hope to see you and Chewie and Ninja again soon.

Thomas
Sitting for Thomas was such a pleasure!! His home was so lovely, cozy and warm. DaVinci and Bug were the sweetest and so fun to care for. Any questions I had he was very quick to respond. I would be more than happy to sit for Thomas again.

John
John, Chis and hound dog Maggie are all just the sweetest!  They were all very welcoming and extremely thorough with the onboarding process. I could tell immediately that they are excellent pet parents. Their home and gardens are lovely, so having a green thumb is a plus. Bellingham is also a gem. Maggie and I had a fantastic time!  I would sit for them again in a heartbeat. ❤️❤️❤️

Rich
Rich and Bex are incredibly kind and welcoming hosts. Their home is in lovely Walthamstow Village and I had such a great time exploring a new area of London. Ira and Eva are very sweet and affectionate, they are chatty and are equally content lounging in the sun or hanging out around you, their evening bursts of energy are hilarious - they’re great company!
