Jane is not a recommended petsitter if you have cats or if you want the house to be treated properly when you are away. 1) When she arrived the day before our departure, she didn’t show any interest in the cats, I had to suggest her several times to interact with the kitties in order to make sure the cats were used to her smell. 2) She acted in a superior attitude when I was giving instructions about how to feed the cats or understand their routines. 3) Since the moment we posted the sit offer, we were clear about the simple tasks: feed the cats 3 times a day, play with them, brush them, keep the house safe and clean, inform twice a day about what the cats ate with photos and videos. Her level of communication was minimum by whatsapp. Example of messages “Nala has not appeared yet this morning”, “not much to report”, “everyone has eaten well”, “all well fed”, “too busy feeding, taking pictures and answering your texts” 4) When we arrived the house was dirty (her bathroom had not been cleaned at all, she had not vacuumed nor mopped the floor, the kitchen was sticky) the basic rules of the house were cleaning the floor, kitchen (to avoid ants) and I specified the products to clean bathroom/toilet before leaving. The minimum ALL petsitters had done in the past before leaving were cleaning the basic areas. 5) Two windows were unlocked, when safety issues were explained as a main concern. The biggest window with access from the street was not locked with the screw (anyone could have entered the house) and the window of the guest room was not locked with the handle 6) She never sent a message after leaving the house making sure everything was ok and telling us if the cats were ok. Conclusion: We could clearly see she doesn’t like animals, especially cats, she came just to have a free place to visit the area (which is a very touristic place, mainly this time of the year, when the accommodations are really expensive), she had a bossy attitude and was clearly annoyed by our explanations of how to take care of the cats and house, her communication was not fluid (I had to send a message asking her how were the cats almost every day in order to get feedback), she was a person that clearly did not care about the basic level of cleaning. The only thing she did was feeding the cats at least once a day. When we arrived the cats were really hungry.

My sitting experience in Dianne and Mark's house has been amazing. Looking after Charlie, Mary and their home was an absolute pleasure.

The house is beautiful and spacious, only a short and scenic walk away from the village. The facilities were outstanding and really comfortable.

Surrounded by fields and woodlands, taking Charlie out for a walk was my favourite part of the day. Charlie is an adorable and lovable dog. I'll miss him dearly!

Dianne and Mark went to a great length to ensure that my stay was such a positive experience and they made sure I had everything I needed to make this possible.

If you're looking to relax, go for walks, enjoy the countryside and the company of some lovely pets, I highly recommend this housesit!

Sitting for Lola was fantastic! Lola is a total love bug and a world class couch buddy. Natalie and Josh were excellent at providing clear house and cat care instructions and were quick to respond to any questions we had. Their house is lovely and close to some beautiful hikes. I highly recommend spending some time with the wonderful Lola!

Ellie is a lovely dog and we were really well received by the all family in a house where we felt very comfortable. 
Is a good place near the beach, perfect to relax and have fun with Ellie.

I have to admit that when I saw Bullet for the first time I was a little apprehensive. It turned out that he is as huge as he is adorable 😍. Carole is a considerate host, putting the guests at ease. Thank you, Carole!

Ahh, what a wonderful sit it was! Mowglie and Fígaro are such sweet cats: relaxed, friendly and super chilled! They must have inherited these qualities from their mom — Mathie! 😉🫶
Mathie, thank you for having put your trust in me with your babies! They were a perfect company, and I would be happy to see them again ♥️

Lory
We had a great time! Details written by HO on THS and then in person to get instructions and  commands that Gabby the 2  year old pup is being trained to. She is strong, and loves to play fetch in the back yard . And little Wilson,  a bit shy at first, but does warm up and then  loves attention. He does sleep at the bottom of the bed in the guest room with you, and doesn't move. And the cat definitely knows what time it is for meals, and will let you pet him but isn't really a fan of being picked up for more than a second or two. And kitty litter clean up was a breeze with the "Pretty litter"  device.   All three are lovable! 
Lory and Wayne's house is great. Indoors or outside on the deck anytime.  The guest room is downstairs with a two piece bathroom. The bedroom does have a heater if needed.
We were very welcomed when we arrived the day before as was planned which was great with the three pets.  We enjoyed the tour around Chilliwack as we had not been there before. Such a great downtown area to go for a meal or coffee!  
We were told to use anything, and help ourselves to food in the fridge or freezer. I know we made a dent in the Nescafe coffee pods.  
Lory and Wayne are fantastic, down to earth, pet loving, generous people and sitting there was wonderful.  
Thank you for everything!
