Glenda and Martin were amazing pet sitters for my 3 girls. Before the actual sitting started we made arrangements for Glenda and Martin to meet the dogs as the dogs are rather large and they can be a bit intimidating when met all together, but Glenda and Martin were so natural with them and obviously liked them from the start and our girls relaxed very quickly with them. Glenda and Martin stayed with us for roughly an hour getting to know how we handled the girls and how the girls responded to their instructions, and I think were very pleased that the girls were so good. We explained the differences in them and medication requirements etc. and Glenda and Martin took it all on board. We made a second date for Glenda and Martin to come back and take the girls for a walk as they are big and a sitter needs to know if they are easy enough to walk. The girls passed their test, they are not perfect but if you know of any problems and how to respond to them then that is most of the battle won. The day came for us to leave for our break and as usual Glenda and Martin arrived in time for us to feed the girls before we left as we needed to show them how the girls get fed, i.e. where they like to sit and they have to wait before they get the command to eat. All went well and off we went. During our time away (1 week) Glenda kept me informed with texts and videos and photos regarding the girls and they all seem to have got on very well, so well that I thought the girls would have their bags packed and want to live with Glenda and Martin. We would be very happy to have Glenda and Martin sit for our girls any time, they were clean and tidy and left the house as they found it. This was the first time we have used a sitter and found the proposition of leaving someone in our home a bit daunting, but have got to say that our sitters left us happy to leave our home and our precious girls in their care. If I could give them 10 stars I would.

Yulia
Adrienne was such a great sitter! She was extremely helpful and communicative with us while we were traveling abroad to Peru. She gave us regular updates and photos and when anything came up she immediately communicated with us to make sure we were all on the same page. She kept the place very clean and also had everything in its place and laundry done when we arrived home!
We would highly recommend Adrienne to anyone who is looking for a reliable sitter. 
Thank you again Adrienne!!!

Emma
We very much enjoyed looking after Wolfie and Chester, who we found to be easy and lovable.
Wolfie loved playing and Chester seemed more of a philosopher. 

It almost felt they were part of our family for a week! 

Communication with Emma and Adam was very easy going, pleasant and very helpful. They made us feel very welcome and staying at their house was a joy. It felt very luxurious, had all the mod cons and had a lovely garden we all enjoyed. Our eldest was particularly taken with the supersized bathtub, because he is 6’3’’!

And what beautiful surroundings! From the house we took some scenic walks in the countryside. We all experienced the peace and quiet we were looking for on this holiday. 
It was a great experience and we can highly recommend it!

Bob
Sitting for Bob and Denise was an excellent experience. They’re thoughtful, hospitable, and very well-organized. Coco is an endearing cat, who LOVES to have her cheeks brushed. 

 A week before the sit started, Bob and Denise invited us to meet Coco. They explained how to operate the many special features of their beautifully appointed home and ensured that we knew where everything was located. As detail-oriented people, we greatly appreciated their comprehensive “Welcome Guide”.

Coco is a delightful cat. While she occasionally ventures into the garden, she prefers to spend her time indoors. The gentle tinkling of her bell as she moved from one cozy sleeping spot in the house to another quickly became a favorite sound. Even though she’s a senior cat, Coco still has a playful side. Her favorite games involved “surprise” attacks on the staircase and hide and pounce. 

While Bob and Denise’s home must be lovely during all seasons of the year, we felt blessed to be there in the Spring. The magnificent cherry tree in the front yard was just coming into bloom when we arrived so we had the pleasure of admiring it daily. It was even more magnificent in real life than it is in the photo in their listing!

After experiencing all sorts of weather (sunshine, rain, sleet, and even snow!) during our two-week stay, we can assure future sitters that Bob and Denise’s home is a cozy haven on a cold day and a blissful retreat on a sunny day. Nestled between the woods and a green common, there are plenty of walks straight out the front door. A farm shop with delicious cheese, fresh eggs, milk, meat, fruit, vegetables, etc. and three pubs are all within easy (10-20 minutes) walking distance. 

Stéphane and I wholeheartedly recommend this sit and would gladly return. Thank you, Bob and Denise, for inviting us to care for Coco and your lovely home!

Lesley
I loved catsitting for Lesley and Andrew in the small village of Horncliffe on the beautiful Tweed River, and staying with the lovely Miss Portia Cat for ten days. I would be delighted to return and do it again.

Portia is a sweet girl, really affectionate, with a lovely chirruping purr.  She requires some extra time and care with her diet, but once I had learned her food preparation and feeding routines things went pretty smoothly.  And she is a dear funny little cat, and good company. 

Meanwhile Lesley and Andrew are two of the best hosts in the world.  They were extremely helpful, welcoming, and generous with their time and energy. They invited me to spend some time with them before and after their trip, cooking delicious meals, driving me around to beautiful places in Berwick Upon Tweed and in the nearby countryside, introducing me to friends, and taking me to a wonderful music night in the village meeting hall where an array of talented local musicians were performing.  These were some of my favorite travel experiences that I’ve had, and I so appreciate all that Lesley and Andrew did to make this happen.

I didn’t have a car while I was staying with Portia, but I loved sitting out in the quiet of the back  garden with her, and exploring the village and taking walks along the beautiful Tweed River.  I also found it pretty easy to catch busses and rides with a neighbor to get in to Berwick Upon Tweed and Spittal, the towns at the mouth of the Tweed River, with expansive river views and ocean views and intriguing small shops and cafes.

All in all this was a great experience, and I can highly recommend it!

Kate
Doodles have such personalities, these two are no exception.  We had a wonderful time with them.  Batman just kept us laughing.  He has hops.  They all love to snuggle, the closer the better.  
Kate instructions were very thorough.  I love that she had a book with everything laid out for us.  I like to refer back at time.

Wayne
I cannot say enough good things about Cathy, Wayne, and the pups. I had such a WONDERFUL time there. Cathy and Wayne’s plans changed and their trip time was reduced so they gave me the option of changing my plans or coming and spending the extra time responsibility free to explore the area. I chose the latter and stayed in their wonderful in-laws suite which has a separate entrance and is very comfortable. 

I ended up spending a decent amount of time with Wayne and Cathy while I was there - they are an awesome couple and I really enjoyed spending time chatting with them. 

The pups were awesome and so dang cute. Hope (boxer) is sweet and goofy. The corgis (Bonnie and Trixie) are hilarious and super fun. Going for walks with all three at the same time was not in the cards for me, so I walked them each separately. They’re really SO EASY to watch. They play with each other and will play with you too if you want. They also love their time out back and will run around and chase each other and it’s quite entertaining. 

Port Angeles is a smallish place but there is lots to do, especially if you’re into nature and hiking. Huge portion of Olympic National park are available to you both in Port Angeles and accessible by short (in my opinion) drives. And there is a ferry across to Victoria, Canada as well if you’d like to go there. 

I highly recommend Cathy & Wayne’s place and Port Angeles area!

Colleen
Sitting for Colleen and Sachi was a breeze. Their home and cats reminded me a lot of my home and cats and it brought me so much ease. Their space is clean, cozy, bright with lots of natural light and clutter free. They were so sweet letting me come in a day early which I appreciated so much!

Dazzle is a sweetheart. Her and I hit hit it off after a day or two because she meowed at me and gave me the sweetest headbutts on the couch! She loves to play and she LOVES to watch and hunt the birds!

Skippy is the most obnoxious, loud, nosy cat I've come across, and I LOVE it, haha! He welcomed me as soon as I got into the house and he was so affectionate. He's a bit of a mama's boy and very much will interject when I gave attention to Dazzle or had my attention elsewhere. He kept me on my toes though! You gotta make sure not to leave food out or he WILL get it. 

The cats together can spat and fight as it was communicated in the clear home guide that was left for me. It could be difficult to focus when they did fight since I worked remote, but I made it my mission to try and get two to three extensive play sessions in. Especially with Skippy. He can sometimes hunt Dazzle, so getting that energy out of him is crucial.

Regardless to say, I had a wonderful time sitting for Colleen and Sachi. They were communicative, their home was cozy, and their neighbor even greeted me and gave me wonderful recommendations too! I would absolutely sit for them again.
