We've had many housesitters and Francois and Mariana are the best of the best. They are true professionals. We were so lucky to have them housesit for us and our cat and dog. They were confident, calm, and attentive with the pets from the first minute they walked in the door. It was very clear that they are extremely sensitive to animal needs and "communication", so they were closely attuned to what our pets were feeling and what they needed. For example, our dog gets agitated about us leaving and Mariana talked to her and petted her quietly as we got ready - eventually, the dog was lying down calmly as we walked out the door (this never happens!!!!) As housesitters and as people, they are also wonderful, trustworthy, and attentive. It was clear from their updates that they not only read, but thoroughly studied and understood all the instructions in our detailed welcome guide. They are also friendly, respectful people who were extremely responsive, always available when we checked in and ready with a little story about what they and the pets were up to. They were scrupulously on time to start and end the sit, even though we asked them to arrive at our place at 6 in the morning!! The house was spotlessly clean when we arrived and the pets were happy and relaxed. Our animals were very clearly in amazing hands. The dog was well-behaved after their stay (usually she has a bit of a backslide in bad habits during extended stays with others, but not this time!) and even the cat seemed much happier than he usually does when we come back from a trip. There is no better feeling as a pet owner - that your house sitters truly understand AND care deeply about your babies. We are so happy to have had Francois and Mariana as our housesitters, and we truly hope to meet or have them sit for us again. PS They even sent us the most delightful video they had created showing the pets' adventures during the week. In short, they are the best!!

Lorena & Thomas have a beautiful flat and 5 amazing pets. I was very happy to spend 10 days with them and take care of their furry babies. Hope to see you soon again!

Richard
Richard, together with his three friendly dogs, welcomed us into his beautiful country home the weekend before his departure. We shared a couple of meals together before he left and got to know the routine of all the animals-dogs, goats, alpacas, ducks and hens! All the animals are easy to care for and a delight to interact with and the dogs soon became our constant companions! The weather was not very kind during our winter stay but we enjoyed our walks with the dogs and cosying up with them by the log fire in the evenings.
We were given a lovely spacious room with wonderful views of the Devonshire countryside.
Contact with Richard was always good and we can recommend this sit.

Jooles
We had the pleasure of looking after Mabel this year and she is an absolute joy to be with.

Mabel gets on well with other dogs and loves to run with them, in particular being chased as she knows that there aren't many that can keep up. She is great at recall and never gave us any reason to worry about her not coming back after an excited run. At home, she either snuggles down in her basket or hops on the sofa for a cuddle.

We met Jooles, Pete & Briony a few months before the housesit to meet Mabel, check she was happy with us and get acquainted with the house.

Jooles and Family are lovely and couldn't have made us feel any more welcome when we met them and when they left for their holiday they left us some lovely food and drink. They also left us detailed maps of walks in the area, allowed us to use their car to take Mabel to some of the further away places along with their National Trust cards so we could visit the local attractions.

The house is beautiful and set back from the road with a garden that backs onto the South Downs. As it was early spring we didn't have to do any gardening so the plants were still alive when they returned!

We will be staying in touch with Jooles and Family and have tried to persuade them to go away again soon so we can look after Mabel.

Heidi
I had the most magical time looking after Luna and Dumi in Heidi and Rej's beautiful home. These cats have such contrasting personalities but are both so fun and affectionate and I miss them already! Luna is the more confident kitty and will give you headbuts and rub your legs, while sweet Dumi takes a little time to overcome his shyness, but is a snuggle bug once he feels comfortable around you, which is so lovely. 

Their home is spacious, bright, modern and a total oasis in this wonderful central location. I couldn't believe how close it was to the museum district and Brandenburg Gate, and it's safe to say I did a lot of walking and exploring the area. 

Heidi and Rej were so kind, helpful, reassuring and relaxed and showed me how to work everything in their home before they left. It was such a lovely, warm welcome and they really made me feel at home, and we kept in touch while they were away which was wonderful too. They have so many things in their home to make life easier for you as well, I was amazed by the gadgets and gizmos. 

I wouldn't hesitate to look after these amazing kitties and their lovely home again <3

Susan and David’s stay was my very first with TPS…and I can’t imagine how it could every possibly be topped! A warm and welcoming climate created by friendly, well-mannered pets and gracious and generous people make one feel at home immediately. Elvis’ and Dave’s laid back temperament make them easy keepers. They are happy lazing on the sofa, playing with each other or going on tandem walks. Accommodations are 5 stars; beautiful, spacious, clean, organized and private. I would visit again in a heartbeat!

We had a wonderful time with Barbie and Brisket in Hong Kong. They have given us a lot of joy and just watching them was so much fun. They are very independent cats and play and cuddle mostly with each other, but they will definitely be happy to keep you company and seek you out when they are ready for a little cuddling. Brisket is more active and cheeky and still loves to scratch the sofa or jump into the curtains in the bedroom, so we had to keep an eye on him :) Barbie is more cuddly, often watching his little pranks and just sometimes daring to follow him. So both very different, but equally adorable. 
And Ronald and Bron were great, easy hosts who gave us a super written explanation of everything and labeled the most important cupboards in the apartment. The apartment is simply wonderful and in a perfect location in Hong Kong. We felt completely at home and would come back anytime.
Thank you both for having us!
