Karen
We loved our time housesitting for Karen and Peter, and taking care of the wonderful 
Guinness. 
The house is beautiful, with amazing scenery and walks nearby. 
Guinness is a dream to look after - we miss him already! 
Special thanks to Karen and Peter for being so friendly and welcoming, and making the first week of our 2 years in Canada so much better.
Can’t recommend housesitting for them enough!

Sarah
Ernie is such a sweetheart!  Great at snuggling and super adorable!  Sarah was clear about the requirements for a smooth sit and was quick to respond with any questions and concerns.  I loved the area in Munich and the abundance of parks to explore with Ernie showing me the ropes.  Easy access to public transport and everything you need in the neighborhood.  Overall, a great experience and would love to sit for Sarah and Ernie again in the future :)

Frank
We had the delightful opportunity to care for Teddy, the charming, almost one-year-old cat, for Frank’s family. As a family of three—two adults and one child—our experience in Berlin was fantastic. Teddy stole our hearts with his affectionate demeanor from the moment we met him.

The apartment was perfectly located, with an array of excellent restaurants right on our doorstep, enhancing our stay with local flavors. Our daughter was thrilled to play with the children’s toys available in the apartment, which made the space feel even more welcoming. She also took great care of Teddy, ensuring he was well-fed and happy during our stay.

The layout of the apartment was particularly accommodating for us as remote workers. The presence of desks in the apartment allowed us to work comfortably throughout our stay. The unique setup of the apartment, with a children’s room and a double bed nestled in a niche of the kitchen, added a quaint and cozy touch to our living experience. Despite its unusual arrangement, the apartment was clean, well-maintained, and just right for our needs.

An extra sweet touch was the homemade jams we received, which were absolutely delicious and much appreciated.

We would gladly return to look after Teddy again. Our stay was not just a pet sitting opportunity, but a lovely and memorable part of our travels.

Orla
My sit with Ritchie was absolutely brilliant! Orla and Sean, welcomed me into their home with open arms. Their warmth and kindness really showed, and they made me feel very valued and cared for as a sitter. Their home is beautiful and in a stunning location. I was lucky enough to get two weeks of sunshine in January, and felt safe and relaxed in their place by the sea. Ritchie is such a loveable and energetic character, he was delighted with our walks on the beach every day. He was a constant source of entertainment, and we'd dance in the kitchen at night! He was also very well behaved when I was working from home. He loved to chill by the fire with me too. I would highly recommend this sit for anyone looking to experience some of west Kerry's nature! There are gorgeous walks/drives in every direction.

I cannot recommend this sit more! I absolutely loved my time on Camano sitting for Ann and Marv in their gorgeous new home caring for their sweet, older lab, Jasper! It was such a wonderful experience, especially for some peace and quiet, with the most stunning water/ Mt Baker views it felt like a retreat!  

But the best part of the sit is definitely the wonderful company of the real star here, Jasper, such a sweet older guy! Despite an unfortunate injury early on (and subsequent ER visit), he's easy to care for and will be truly missed! 

Marv and Ann were wonderful hosts; they’re incredibly kind, easy-going, responsive, gracious, and understanding through the vet experience, which I couldn’t have asked for more through the stressful situation, as they were equally concerned for both me and their pup. It was lovely getting to know them in the days before their trip. They welcomed me into their stunning, yet cozy home and made sure I was comfortable with the property and the area for an extended stay. Everything I needed for the sit was thoughtfully prepared, with an extensive welcome guide for both the home, trip, and area. I felt thoroughly prepared for my extended stay!

Honestly, their generosity was beyond, allowing my dad to come visit, the use of their kayaks, their discovery pass to explore the local state parks, truck (if needed), a crab cake feast, and a freezer full of freshly caught fish! Did I mention, the Mt. Baker views from the hot tub?! 10/10 highly recommended sit, I’d love to come back anytime! Thank you for entrusting me with your home and your sweet guy!

Clare
Housesitting for Clare and Danny was such a lovely experience! I felt at home straight away in their beautiful apartment, and I was warmly welcomed by Newton, Simon and Romeo! Clare was even so kind as to have snacks waiting for my arrival! The three boys were so sweet and really easy to look after. Walking Newton to the local park was always relaxing and Simon and Romeo were affectionate and relaxed the whole time. I am already missing them!

I couldn't recommend this sit more highly!

Thank you Clare and Danny!
