I have had many many pet sitters over the last few years and unfortunately this is the first time I feel the need to write a less than 5 star review. Evin has lots of good reviews and when we met her everything was fine and I felt happy to trust our cats and apartment with her. My biggest disappointment was that 3 days before the end of the sit she messaged saying she was leaving the next day as she had some ‘unexpected news’ and hoped we could ‘work around’ it. They are not plants. I expect a level of commitment for what you agreed to when you are trusted to stay and care for someone’s pets. When we came back the apartment was not as clean as we left it (I really make an effort to make sure everything is really clean for house sitters.) The litter trays were also completely full (more than a couple of days worth). Our bin in the kitchen, which is rather new, had 2 deep dents in the top which Evin didn’t tell us about. There were also some odd things, like it seems like my shoes had been used, as the laces were tied up and pulled tight, and I don’t take my shoes off with the laces done up. And my wardrobe was left ajar, and it was closed when I left. I was really surprised by our negative experience as Evin has lots of positive reviews. She had been travelling for a year and ours was the last sit before she was going back to the US. I can only assume she didn’t have the same commitment to what both sides agree to and expect during a house sit anymore.

10 out of 10 experience!🤩 
The housesit started with a very warm welcome and a nice lunch with Ralph and the kids. We immediately felt at ease and super welcome. It was very nice to meet them and get to know them a bit. On forehand we talked a lot to Sabrina, who communicates very well and is very funny too 😊 She also made very clear and good instructions, so we knew exactly when what to do. 

Kuki, Delilah and Emma are adorable and very easy cats 😻 Delilah is probably the easiest cat you will ever meet haha. She really likes to be around you and take a lot of naps, which looks really cute. Kuki needed a bit more time to adjust, but was also super sweet and nice. Emma is a typical outdoor cat so you won’t see her a lot, but is easy as well. 

The house and the view are truly amazing. We had a wonderful time with the cats, the walk in the forest and the visit to Zurich. It felt like a dream! 🌈

Lesley was a fantastic host, warmly welcoming me and ensuring I felt comfortable in her beautiful home. We met on two occasions and she provided comprehensive guidance and all the information I needed for a successful sit, leaving no questions unanswered. Her house was peaceful, impeccably clean and surrounded by nature. There are idyllic walks right on the doorstep, including on the property itself – the garden and woodland is vast which made for many enjoyable afternoons playing ball in the sunshine with the dogs!

Finn and Harvey are amazing boys and fantastic company. Both are gentle, affectionate and obedient. That’s where the similarities end though, as their personalities couldn’t be more different. Finn’s energy knows no bounds! He is an incredibly active dog and never tires of chasing the ball around the garden! Harvey is a gentle soul and adores cuddles. He is quite content watching Finn dart about while doing relatively little himself! 

Harvey and Finn make the perfect pair. They were a joy to spend time with, and I will miss our walks and spending afternoons together in the garden. This was a lovely sit in a magical location, with very sweet dogs and an attentive host. Thank you!

What a fantastic sit! Camilla & Keith are generous and gracious hosts, who made sure we had the best possible stay. Their home and garden are absolutely stunning and Tigger is a treasure, so friendly and easy to look after. He loves being stroked and always gives you a warm welcome home. Northiam is a lovely village and there are so many places to visit ~ towns, villages, National Trust castles and gardens, kayaking, steam train, beaches, Bewl Water ~ and all within 20-30 mins drive. A highly recommended sit and we hope to be back at some stage. Thank you Camilla & Keith!

We had amazing days with Kwondo and Ty, they’re lovely dogs, very active and adventurous!  They are excellent companions, no doubt the hardest thing we did during our time there was saying goodbye to such adorable dogs. On the other hand, Tim and Cindy are amazing people, they were very friendly and from day one they made us feel welcome in their beautiful home. They showed us the routine of the dogs and even they allowed us to spend a couple more days in their house. The place is beautiful, comfortable and with many places to walk. If you take care of Kwondo and Ty you will definitely fall in love with them.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying in Abby and Nicks home in Bristol. Billie was absolutely lovely and very affectionate - a very easy to look after cat. She came and went through her cat flap day/night, ate well and enjoyed playtime. The house was in a quiet road but within a few minutes walk of two convenience stores and a fish/chip chip. The stop for the 75 bus we caught into Bristol was within a ten min walk. Nearby Snuff Mills/Stoke Park Estate was a nice place for a stroll. All in all a great sit.
