We loved housesitting here. Zico was the absolute best dog, we fell in love with him.

John, Emma and family were also great, super friendly and helpful. 

Loads to do locally and everything you could need in the house.

Charlie & Emma
What an experience staying at Charlie & Emma's place for two weeks! If you want to immerse yourself in nature, surrounded by cute pets, be away from the hustle bustle city life and noise (like us), without losing the accessibility to high-speed internet (300+Mbps to be exact) for your daily work routine, this is the place for you. Don't get me wrong, the place is also within driving distance from a rather big French city Limoges and from other smaller towns.

The two doggies Samson and Cassie are very well-trained. You can walk them without leashes without any problem. There is a control to call them back too in case you worry they get too far. Generally, they do follow instructions very well and it is easy to take care of them. We enjoy taking our morning and evening walks with them. Both doggies love giving and receiving attention from us. Occasionally, we would bring them with the van provided by Charlie to his brother's place, David. So that they could also play with other doggies too. Cuteness overload!! David and Julia are experienced pet takers and have shared with us a lot of tips and their stories with other pets. We had a great time hanging out with them.

We didn't need to do much for both cats Louis and Pumpkin. We just need to feed them and give them enough rubbing when they decided to appear on our bed :) Louis would meow us if he needs food, while Pumpkin is more of a mysterious type, only appearing when you are lucky!

From before departure, our arrival, till after he left, Charlie did his best to make sure we are well taken care of. He was always reachable and responsive whenever we had any questions, and made sure we would feel home away from home. We were also introduced to his family so that we could reach out to someone close by during emergencies.

There is everything you would need in the house. Charlie loves cooking, so there is a huge variety of spices and cooking items for you to choose from ;) Dishwasher, washing machine, Netflix, Prime, etc. We had a great time in La Chaise, and would definitely recommend housesitting at their place, especially in spring and summer!

Wendy
We enjoyed sitting for Wendy and taking care of Elfo and Rojo.  The house was very comfortable and the neighborhood quiet and peaceful.  The directions and expectations were very clear.  The cats warmed up quickly and enjoyed spending time with us, even when working.  The house had easy access to parks and shopping as well as disc golf and minigolf.

We had a great stay with Banuwa, Barnaby and Cobweb in small Puigmoltó village near Sitges. Iain and the family were wonderful hosts, and their home is lovely, as is the surrounding area too! We met the evening before the sit, and they provided detailed instructions with all the needed information to take care of the pets and the house. Communication during the sit was quick and easy.

Banuwa and Barnaby are sweet and lovely beagles, always happy to go for walks and to cuddle. They are easy to take care of, and great company too. Cobweb, the beautiful cat, kept us company while we were working on our laptops or watching TV in the evenings. They are such a charming trio!

We can warmly recommend this house-sit, and would love to go back ourselves some day!

It was a wonderful experience to take care of Bella and Bertie. They’re lovely and super easy to take care of. Maxine is super kind and was always very attentive and willing to help with everything. It was an amazing experience for us to stay there.

mary
If you get the chance to sit for Mary and her adorable cats, Ginsberg and Bettywhite, take it! Her beautiful mountain home is immaculately clean, serene, and has beautiful views. We were instantly comfortable with Mary and the cats. Ginsberg warmed up to us pretty quickly, recognizing that we were the source of all treats with Mary away. Bettywhite took a little longer, but she finally allowed us to scratch the sides of her head when she wanted treats. Both of them use the cat flap to go outside instead of using the inside litterbox. They are quite independent, but they are always inside or hanging on the porch for a good part of the day. 
Mary went out of her way to help us with everything we needed; her communication before and during the sit was excellent. I had only one question during the sit and she answered it promptly. 

We loved sitting on the porch in the cool mountain air in late June, watching the mountains and wildlife, then in the evening enjoying the fireflies coming out. The Swannanoa area is rich in culture and arts of all sorts, and Mary encouraged us to take advantage of it all. 

Mary is so organized! Cleaning up on the last day was quick and easy - Mary had all the cleaning products for the master bath in the master bath; everything for the guest bath in the guest bath, etc. That sounds minor, but when trying to be efficient in a strange house it was great! I suggest you arrive in daylight the first time, as the road to the house is rather steep and windy. We had no trouble, but I wouldn't have wanted to arrive the first time in the dark. Oh, and bring your own coffee pot, as Mary doesn't drink coffee. 
Be warned, you will only get this sit if I don't see it first! Seriously, you will love it. This is a genuine 5-star and I highly recommend it. You will be thrilled with the whole experience.
