We are so lucky to have had Michelle as our cat-sitter. Our older cat, Gluino, got unexpectedly ill during her stay. Michelle recognised the signs and immediately called the vet to check on what should be done. Then, she rushed him to the clinic. His condition was very serious. Once stabilised, she took him home and monitored him the entire weekend. Gluino had high fever, his breathing was abnormally fast and refused to eat. Michelle went out of her way to find foods that might entice him to not starve himself. She bought chicken, tuna, tried treats and his favourite wet-food. She made sure to administer medicine, measure his breathing, stay in touch with the vet and make an appointment for Monday at another clinic (where it was planned for him to undergo more detailed tests). All this while keeping us updated about his wellbeing and taking care of our younger cat Nacho. She had to juggle the needs of a seriously ill cat and a young, active cat and was extremely resourceful in doing this. We were abroad and could only fly back on Sunday. Although in shock and extremely anxious, we had the peace of mind that Gluino is in great hands. Michelle stayed at Gluino's side up until the moment we arrived as she didn't want to leave him unsupervised. Besides being very skilled at taking care of cats, Michelle is a reliable, loving, caring and sweet person. We didn't have the pleasure to meet her partner Fran, but there is no doubt for us that he is no less of a wonderful human being. He helped her a lot in caring for Gluino during this very difficult time (Fran is allergic to cats and stayed at a rental place in Amsterdam. Still, he came over to the house to help Michelle care for our two cats). After returning home, Michelle would keep in touch to inquire about Gluino. She regularly asked for updates and sent words of encouragement. This meant a lot to us! Thank you for everything, Michelle!

Tom & Terry are amazing hosts and Grace is a true gem! You could not ask for a warmer welcome. They are extremely kind, generous, thoughtful, welcoming and all around wonderful! They provided thorough instruction and guidance on what to expect, they were proactive in their communications and very attentive in answering questions and ensuring all was well. They even took the time to reach out on where to find an umbrella when they saw rain was coming. Their home is beautiful, immaculate, very comfortable and stocked with anything you may need. Located in a lovely quiet and safe community, it is a pleasure to walk around. They are nearby the many attractions of Naples and Marco Island, as well as conveniences of several grocery stores and restaurants. The star of the show of course is Grace. She is sweet as can be. She is amazingly well behaved, calm and quiet and just goes with the flow. She loves visiting with neighbors on her leisurely walks, loves her belly rubs, and enjoys hunting for bunnies with great curiosity. If you give her a good long brush and take the time to get her neck & chin really good, she will be your best buddy! This was my first sit with Trusted Housesitters and I feel so lucky to have met such a lovely family. I would take care of Grace anytime and highly recommend this sit!
