Ella and her sister watched our cats during a family visit. Always a good sign when your babies start bonding with the sitters! They were also kind enough to do their bed sheets before they left. Totally not necessary but much appreciated! We'd gladly have them back.

This sit was above excellent ! Really enjoyed meeting Lynette and her husband, they are wonderful hosts ! The home is lovely and the guest suite was both comfortable and peaceful. The pets are adorable and enjoyed Molly's sweet , joyful nature. Kat was independent and warmed up to  some attention and affection.  Molly was easy to look after and liked to snuggle . The property enjoys a mature  garden to spend time relaxing  The area is quite convienant by car to check out many wineries and there was a delicious bbq restaurant very close by. I was super impressed with the entire experience and highly recommend . Would definately sit again . Thank you for the great holiday memories !

Dulce, Hazel, and Izzy are very sweet cats full of personality who will keep you entertained all day in the best of ways. Lovely historic home with a kitchen stocked with most any equipment you need (including an all-in-one air fryer and pressure cooker). The covered porch has a nice swing and is good for deliveries. Melinda has a comprehensive Welcome Guide and communicates quickly. She has well stocked wall scent dispensers, refills, odor candles, and sprays that reduce pet and mouse odors. 

Helpful hints: 
- Dulce’s name is pronounced Dull-say. She is blind. Talking to her in a soothing voice first lets her know you are near so she is not startled when you pet her. Talking to and petting her calms her quickly when she intermittently and briefly meows after jumping up on top of the couch (her favorite spot) or waking up.
- Dulce is very good at finding the food bowls. She has no teeth. I let her lick the liquid out of the top of the wet cat food containers before giving the rest to Hazel and Izzy. The extra attention and hydration helped her energy. Melinda also has Purina hydration packets - Dulce loves them, and they help Hazel.
- The house is on a sometimes busy one-way street so a noise machine or app can help with sleep.

Kate
This was a lovely relaxing sit in a great house with the sweetest cat, Albie.
Kate and Dave were so easy to get along with; Dave kindly collected me from the railway station and Kate made us lunch before they set off. They provided a thorough house guide and instructions, which is always helpful, as well as ample drawer/hanging space - much appreciated!
Albie is just absolutely adorable. He was extremely vocal initially but soon calmed down  when he realised I was there to give him all the cuddles he demanded.
All in all, a lovely sit in a lovely place, for lovely people.

It was our absolute pleasure to look after Churro and Paella. They are loving, joyful and energetic characters! 

From the first moment, Phoebe ensured we had all the details we could need regarding the house and dog routines. Communication with her was always great! We highly appreciate her clearness and support pre and during our stay. 

Spending time with the doggies was so nice for us. Being with them really made us happy, in a literal way! They were always in a good mood, ready to cuddle, play or just chill. They are super companions. They would get quite excited when they knew it was time to go to the park and it didn’t take long for them to react positively when we told them to stay close! They are really docile dogs and are clearly loved and well trained.

We are really grateful that we got to know this lovely bunch and we would love to spend time together with them again soon! Thanks Phoebe and Stephen!

We were lucky to housesit in this beautiful, clean home in a lovely quiet neighbourhood for Margot & Ray who are superhelpful and friendly. Everything went well and the main owner, senior cat Roxy, allowed us to serve her for 12 days. She is easy to take care of and we look forward to coming back anytime.

First of all Silvia and her daughter  are wonderful hosts. We felt welcome from the very beginning. They were very welcoming, and knowing we were vegan they bought us dinner and even made us a huge grocery delivery full of fresh veggies and vegan treats. They also gave us a gift to welcome us!! ?

The birds are very playful. As the living room and the kitchen is an open space,birds can fly all around. During meal preps they would come in our shoulders to take a look at what we were eating, so cute! 

The responsibilities were quite simple, giving seeds, salad and water to birds, salad to turtle, watering plants twice a week and keeping the flat sufficiently tidy.

The flat is not located in the very city center, however it's very easy to get there by metro (around 30m). There is also a McDonald’s, a big grocery store in front of the building and a very beauty and peaceful park 5 minute walk from the house. ?

 Thanks again Silvia for all your hospitality. We hope to stay in contact and we would love to see you again. 

Best wishes from Carol and Marcelo ?
