We had David solo for our sit as Alison had to finish her school term (as a teacher not a pupil!) Everything went really smoothly and he kept us up to date about the cats and chickens as necessary. Little Pippa was particularly taken with him :) We felt we had left the house, cats and chickens in good hands.
My review is more about Lachlan, Aurelie's partner, because he was the one who did our house sit. Aurelie joined him for only part of the time. Everything was well taken care of at home: the house, my cat Jiminy & our two horses. The sit was supposed to be to take care of only the house & Jiminy while we were away, with minimal contact with our horses. However, at the last minute, our regular horse caregiver cancelled out on us & Lachlan stepped up to the plate to take care of them completely & he did an excellent job. We came home to a happy cat & 2 happy horses. Lachlan (& Aurelie) was (were) both easy & pleasant to deal with before & during the house sit. Regular contact & photos were sent to assure us that all was well. Thank you to both for taking care of our crew!
