Gerry and Judy are a lovely couple that came on two separate occasions to look after our house, 2 cats and our cockatoo. We left our house and pets to a warm and loving couple that allowed the 2 cats to sleep on the bed with them at night and then they managed to feed our gourmet fussy cockatoo and made friends with her! Judy scheduled a special visit to have a one-on-one experience with our cockatoo so that she would be more comfortable handling her and to put the bird at ease, needless to say they got on very well! The house was spotless on our return, pot plants had been watered and garbage taken out. It was not easy for them to stay in our house with the current water restrictions imposed by the City Of Cape Town but they managed their water consumption very well. Periodically they sent us updates and pictures on how ‘The Girls’ were doing. It put our mind at ease knowing that all was well at home! It was an absolute pleasure to have them stay at our house and they have set a high standard for the next candidate who will staying here.
Celia and Mike sat for Rio over Christmas and he seemed thoroughly happy with the experience. They left everything super-clean and tidy and kept me well informed throughout. Happy to recommend to others and would welcome back any time.
