There were so many things I liked about Sydney. She commmitted to a very long 3 week sit with our two dogs. She was willing to arrive the night before we left so she would have plenty of time to get to know the dogs and the house. She even offered to take us to the airport the next morning. The house was very clean and tidy when we returned. The dogs were alive and appeared healthy. Unfortunately my neighbor across the street called me at 11:00pm a couple of days before we were scheduled to return to tell me that one of the dogs was at her house. Our tenant who lives downstairs let me know that she became concerned when she saw the dogs roaming the full yard with out Sydney in sight. Our tenant asked Sydney if we had said that was OK and Sydney let her know that the dogs were being watched from inside the house . . . I assume she was watching out the windows and doorways. To be fair, our yard is pretty well fenced in but I did make it clear to Sydney that it was still possible for the dogs to get through the fencing. It was not fully secure. Also, I understand that there was a fair amount of rain but I had let Sydney know where my rain shoes and raincoat and umbrella were so I expected her to be outside whenever the dogs were outside. Overall Sydney was very nice but I wouldn't invite her back to take care of my dogs. I think she would be better suited to care for cats and small dogs that are confined to the house.

Daniel
We enjoyed being around Chipper. He is handsome, sweet and gentle. 
Dan and LouAnn are generous, warm and easy to talk to. We enjoyed meeting and talking with them the day before the sit. They left detailed instructions, and we stayed in touch throughout the sit. 
Their home and location is beautiful, peaceful and spacious. We enjoyed the sit, and highly recommend it.

Benny is such an amazingly cuddly cat, loved the Benny-hugs.  Benny hung out in his room most of the day so I was able to get my work done but at night he would cuddle up if you were sitting watching TV and he kept me company for a bit at night which was lovely.  Benny was great company.  The house was great, everything was there and I loved that I could walk to Coles or Bakers Delight, and the main street of Mooloolaba was around the corner from Coles if I wanted to visit a cafe or restaurant.  I really enjoyed my week with Benny in Mooloolaba and Fiona was on the phone if I had any questions.  Highly recommend.  Really miss the Benny-hugs xoxoxo

Julia
David and I took a last minute sit to look after Persephone. She's adorable and sweet but very shy at first. (particularly around men) 
 Super location with a great view.  Julia was very easy to communicate with. We'd sit again for Julia and Kamil in a heartbeat.

Janna
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Janna and Tim's lovely home. We were made to feel very welcome and all instructions and communications were clear and easy. Indie and Alfie are friendly, relaxed cats - I got particularly fond of Alfie with his super laidback attitude to life! The sun shines into the garden all afternoon and evening - great for sitting out with a glass of wine, especially when the cats joined us for a bit of company.
I thoroughly recommend this catsit, for the reasons above but also because Ludlow is a wonderful place to visit. There's lots going on in the town, and plenty of great pubs and some really excellent eateries. If you're into walking like us you can go straight up into the Mortimer Forest from the town, or a quick hop in the car or by train takes you to the beautiful Shropshire Hills. A top catsit!

Emma
Had a lovely stay at Emma's and Tom's cottage. Their home was lovely, cozy, warm and in beautiful countryside with plenty walks to choose from to take Mouse and Otter out. 
Mouse and Otter are lovely dogs great off lead they always come back. Otter is much more excited when running around, so more commands are needed.
They've lighted up wood burners for me before I arrived and their communication were great.
Would definitely recommend this sit.

Sharon
Sharon and Ken are wonderful hosts! Although their plans changed, they were kind enough to book a different trip because they didn't want us to have to change our plans. Their home is beautiful and they were so generous to offer us anything they had and even offered to pick up things for us from the grocery store.  The kitties, Junior and Sheba, are super sweet and very easy to care for.  We consider Sharon and Ken (and Junior and Sheba, of course!) our new friends and hope to get to go back again soon!
