Sylvia
What a fabulous sit! The 10 days with Sylvia in Giekau went by far too quickly. 

This sit is perfect for a single person or a couple. The animals are all really friendly and easy to care for and have a well-rehearsed routine. Sylvia explains everything really well and calmly and you can really ask her anything. The very good Welcome Guide and also the printed explanations are well thought out and the whole household is very well organised. Sylvia has also prepared a huge selection of brochures, maps and excursion tips. One is really spoilt for choice!

The house and furnishings are exactly as described and photographed on THS. The guest room has a comfortable bed, the kitchen is equipped with all the comforts one could wish for, and the internet is super reliable. (Phone calls work best via wifi, as the mobile network there is not so good). The area is a dream! The nature is simply breathtaking. Giekau is on Lake Selent, the Baltic Sea is only 20 minutes away and there are so many things to discover, experience and see. The nearest supermarket is 10 minutes away by car in Lütjenburg (ALDI, Lidl, REWE, PENNY, familia, ROSSMANN ...) There is a bus, you can go by bike or you can take the car. I was allowed to use Sylvia's e-car. It's great to drive and when you come home from exploring (Gut Panker, Hessenstein lookout tower ...), you just plug it in and it recharges from the solar system on the roof. Just great!

Sylvia is such a warm, friendly, generous and attentive host. It is a real pleasure to be there as a sitter! She really makes the sitter feel comfortable and safe and makes you feel welcome from the heart.

Dear Sylvia, I felt very comfortable with you and thank you for trusting me to be your first sitter through THS. I will be very happy to come back and I already miss all the animal rascals! It was just so nice to sit in the red armchair in the evening, watching the lovely furry noses around me and the chickens and rabbits in the window.

We had the wonderful experience of looking after Sailor, Bo and Swiper for 11 days over the summer.  Sailor is the sweetest dog and very well behaved.  She loved her walks and was a joy to take with us as we explored Carlsbad and the surrounding areas and even came to restaurants with us and won the hearts of the waitstaff.  Bo and Swiper were great cats, and would enjoy time with us in the morning and on the couch in the evenings, though we wouldn't see a lot of them during the day.  Eve and Scott were amazing hosts.  They were excellent communicators both before and during our stay.  Expectations were clearly laid out and they did everything to make our stay enjoyable even checking what we would like in the fridge upon our arrival.  The property is in a great location with fantastic hiking trails out their door which we would explore each morning with Sailor who was happy to accompany us on 3-4 mile hikes each day.  I can't say enough obout their generosity, making a car available for us, and the use of boogie boards and all we needed to visit the beach everyday between pet duties.  They even gave us some time off by providing day care for Sailor a couple of times so we could explore the area more.  We can't wait to get back to see this furry family again.  I would highly recommend this sit to anyone if we can't do it ourselves.

The house was extremely clean and the instructions were clear and detailed! Ollie is a bit apprehensive but does best if you ignore him and let him warm up to you!

Fernando & George
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My housesit for Buffy with Fernando and George was fantastic! 

From the moment I arrived, they made me feel like part of their team. They trusted me with their most precious. 

Buffy is such a joy—fun-loving puppy, affectionate, although shy at first, the cutest personality.

Everything during the housesit went smoothly. Their home was beautiful, large and well-kept with a visit of a cleaning lady. Even better in real life. 
The area is great too. 
Very comfortable, safe for an anyone traveling alone, and inviting which made it easy for me to settle in. 

We had a great time together, from walks around the neighborhood to relaxing evenings at home. I spent all my time with her as she is only 6 months old and this was her first time having a sitter. 

Fernando and George are wonderful hosts who genuinely care about Buffy's happiness. Their care and dedication to her well-being were evident throughout my stay. They were always communicative, making sure I had everything I needed. 

Taking care of Buffy was a more than a pleasure. It's clear she's adored by her family. I enjoyed every moment of the housesit and would gladly do it again.

Overall, my experience housesitting for Buffy, Fernando, and George was exceptional 5/5 starts.

Thank you for trusting me with Buffy and for making me feel so welcome in your home!
