After sitting for us back in April, we were thrilled Des was willing to sit for us again. This time the sit was for 6 weeks and I can’t tell you what a relief it is to feel 100% comfortable being gone for that long knowing Des was in charge of the cats and home. As my review of her previous sit states, she sets the bar really high in all areas: communication, reliability, pet care, professionalism, cleanliness, etc. But I’d like to call attention to her self-reliance and easy-going demeanor. During a longer stay, things are bound to happen that you cant anticipate. One of those things was a flat tire on the car we lent her. She had it patched and didn’t even bother us with it until she’d already resolved the issue. Then, our router for the WiFi went down. Des was incredibly patient and generous with her time to help my husband troubleshoot the issue remotely and then go through the actual install of a new router. Finally, a small part on our AC unit went out on a Saturday. In the summer when temps were close to 100 outside, that’s not an issue that can be ignored. Again, she was patient with us and worked with my husband to troubleshoot the issue remotely so we could speed up the fix when the technician arrived. Despite our (relatively new) house and car breaking on her in these various ways, she was helpful, positive, and never complained. As a midwesterner who hates inconveniencing others, I am relieved she just rolled with everything. Des really is an exceptional sitter and anyone should be so lucky to have her stay at their home and watch their pets.

Susan
It was a pleasure house/cat sitting for Susan and David! They were so lovely and made me feel welcomed into their beautiful home. The instructions were clear, communication was excellent, and Finn and Pip were well-behaved and fun to play with. I am glad to have met them and would house/cat sit for them anytime I'm in California! I had a great time. Thank you! <3

Sitting for Lisa’s house and pets was an absolute pleasure! 
The house was spotless, comfortable and had everything anyone would need for their stay. Lisa and her husband also made us feel very welcomed, they were kind, generous and responsive and it was great to meet them. 
We loved taking care of the pets, they were both loving, easygoing and friendly. 
Instructions for feeding, exercise and general care were detailed and well presented, and easy and straightforward to follow. We walked Maya 2x a day and she loved that. Spencer accompanied us most times and that was really fun too! They kept me company throughout the day, Spencer is the cuddliest cat I think I’ve ever come across! Great pets!
Overall it was a great stay and we’d recommend it to anyone.

Carolyn
These are honestly some of the LOVELIEST cats I've ever taken care of. 
Ginger is more of a solo outdoor cat and easygoing, who comes in occasionally for attention. Black and Grey are healthy, gorgeous, gentle, communicative, both with the perfect balance of independent and sweet cuddle bug. 
Carolyn and her husband are very nice, and their home comfortable with everything you need. Quiet neighbourhood and relaxed cats, we slept very well! 
This was the first time I've ever experienced a plumbing problem during a sit, and I was a bit worried at first, but Carolyn was an absolute pleasure to deal with and the communication was excellent. 
I'd be happy to sit for them again.

Cecile & Michael
We did not expect this, but we ended up making new friends with this family! It was more than house-sitting, they are avid travelers like us and we had great conversations. They hosted us for 2 days before the start date, we had just returned from an international trip, and enjoyed their hospitality and company. Cecile and Michael’s home is gorgeous, they were generous in letting our daughter who was visiting for the holidays stay in one of the bedrooms and of course McGee and Remus were cherry on top! 
The pets are easy to take care of, McGee is tiny, cute and cuddly, we miss him! Remy is easy and cute too! 
I hope to return to sit for them again in the future.

Michelle was flexible and communicative and, more importantly, Poppy and Maddie are sweethearts. Poppy’s all innocence and enthusiasm, Maddie’s incredibly laidback, and they both have hearts of gold

Our sit at Elizabeth’s gorgeous Georgian townhouse, caring for the adorable Elsa and her feline brother Tao, was a great experience and one we would very much recommend and love to repeat ourselves another time.

As well as it being a privilege, to spend time at such a lovely historical home with a beautiful garden in an architecturally outstanding town, there were no shortage of walks, including Barnwell Park and river walks. Also, a lovely big playing field a few minutes walk away where Elsa could chase a ball and run around in the evenings.

Elizabeth made us feel very welcome, showing us around and ensuring we knew where everything was and how everything worked. She gave us lots of useful tips about where was good to walk and places of interest in the local area too. All boxes ticked for a wonderful stay!
