Twiglet and Munca are gorgeous little dogs. Twiglet a grand old lady who still manages to jump in and out of the door with excitement for her afternoon stroll. Munca was so loving and friendly, we played with her toys and had plenty of walks in the beautiful countryside around Lucy and Phils beautiful home. It was a pleasure to meet them all.
Our stay at Sabine's house was great. She and her husband, Aziz, arr really kind an generous people and have a nice hoise in a really quiet neigbourhood. And we fell in love with their pets. Of course, they demand attention as they are 5 cats and 2 dogs, but we did it with pleasure. They are cuddly and kind. Every time one of them wants to be with you on your lap and we loved that. We are really going to miss them. We had a great month in Brugge
Diane was a wonderful host. Her sweet pups are very active and love to be by your side. Super cuddly and loves attention. The sweet kitty kitty was super talkative and loved to be in the center of all the pups. Great sit. Great host. Would definitely sit again for Diane! Thanks for the wonderful opportunity Diane!
I took care of Barb and Dave’s three well behaved cats Mar. 14-18, 2019. They are a joy to be around. Grey Lucy loves cuddling especially at night, orange Harry loves stroking and laying in the sun, and black Manny is more of a loner, likes to hide where you can’t find him, but still loves a good pat. The home is in a great location, near IKEA & Starbucks and the 417 HWY which gets you anywhere or across town fast. I felt really at home and relaxed staying there. Lots of sun and light in the house and artwork. It was easy to find anything I needed. These folks are environmentally conscious and love animals. Barb left great notes about the cats and what they liked, what to feed them and her contact so I could communicate with her if needed. A wonderful experience.
I really enjoyed my recent stay at Louise's lovely flat with her adorable young cat, Grace who is a real cutie and has the most endearing facial expressions and beautiful soft grey fur, as well as being very playful and curious. Grace also loved sitting next to me or on my lap sometimes and being stroked and she also enjoyed playing with her toys and playing chase the laser beam as well as sitting on the bed, the table and on newspapers and plastic bags etc and few times i found her sitting on a shelf in the storage cupboard/kitty cave! Grace is easy to care for and she has both wet and dry food and she is fed twice a day with a few treats in between and she really enjoys her food and has a good appetite. Louise's flat is very comfortable and has all the mod cons you could need as well as a balcony which is great as it allows Grace some (supervised) out door space. And the flat is approximately 9 minutes walk to Shadwell and Limehouse DLR and Overland stations so is convenient for accessing public transport. Communication with Louise was very easy and clear and she gave me a very helpful handover on my arrival also and all in all i would definitely recommend this sit. Thank you Louise for the opportunity to sit for your sweet cat Grace :)
Jennifer is a wonderful host, very down to earth. Left food if I wished to use anything. The little dogs are absolutely adorable. When walking they walk by your side or a little behind. They are lovely and lovable. I had a hard time saying goodbye. They bark a little if left behind ( I did a little shopping ) and they warn bark at unusual things going on outside ( I liked that as I did the sit without my husband this time). Otherwise, they sit close to you and are content to sleep. If I lived closer, I would definitely look after the house and pets again.
