Joseph took care of our cat and house-sat for us for 2 weeks. In advance of our trip, we were able to do both a virtual and in-person meet and greet to ensure everyone felt comfortable and do a walk through of the house, which we really appreciated.While we were away, Joseph responded quickly to texts/any questions we sent and provided photo and text updates every 1-2 days. Upon our return, our cat seemed happy. Unfortunately, the day of our return, Joseph accidentally locked himself out of our house. He communicated with us and we were able to provide him access to a backup key. However, when we returned home about an hour and a quarter later, we were surprised to find that he was still there (he was supposed to have left much earlier in the day before we arrived home, and we knew he was running a little behind because of the lockout, but he didn’t tell us he would still be there when we walked in). He texted us that the house was clean and ready for us, but unfortunately the house was not clean and the cat litter boxes were quite smelly and appeared not to have been changed or scooped in many days. While we realize that getting locked out of the house created some delays in getting packed and tidying the house, we were upset to find the kitty litter in that state and for the clear disorganization, at least in the final day. We provided this feedback directly to Joseph and hope that this was a one-time experience. However, we would urge clear communication around any expectations for cleaning, communication, and care.

Susan
Susan and Christopher are all around wonderful humans.  They were so welcoming and introduced me to friends who were available to help out as needed.  Their home and property is just lovely -  I felt like I was staying in a comfortable museum - there is art everywhere!  The best part- hanging out, cuddling, and playing with Sylvie, Milo, and Phoebe! I've only been gone a few days and already miss them so! This is a great sit and I'd love to have the opportunity again!

We had a lovely time in Liglet and surrounding area. Gillian’s home is comfortable and the area is a quiet pastoral area. We are ex farmers and enjoyed it immensely, we felt valued and were happy to call on our farming practicality when needed. Gillian’s dogs have their routine, stick to it and you’ll be fine. Gillian is a great communicator and only to happy if you need guidance to assist. It’s a hands on sit that gives so much back in return

Had a pleasant time sitting for Meg and her cutie furbaby Georgie! Meg was very communicative and responsive to all of my questions. Georgie is super easy to care for and we had a good time together☺️ Would definitely come back again! Thanks Meg!
