I've been writing this review in my head for days but struggling to find the correct descriptions and enough superlatives to express what perfect housesitters Carmen and Brett are. Incredibly personable and passionate, they showed excellent care for our home, little Charlie (cat), and us! Our dear Charlie died unexpectedly while we were away (nothing to do with her care). Carmen and Brett handled the situation with great respect. They jumped into action to collect her and bury her. It would have been unsettling but they remained steadfast, communicated beautifully, and handled everything sensitively. In regards to our home, they left it perfectly! Everything was as clean, tidy and organised as when we left it... if not more so, including the car! Communication throughout was excellent - fun snippets of Charlie's antics, their own adventures exploring the area, and they were comfortable asking questions and seeking clarification. And we arrived home to a gorgeous note filled with interesting information and informing us of anything that needed sharing. We cannot recommend Brett and Carmen more highly! You would be very fortunate to have them housesit and they are welcome at our place any time (even when we are home). Our only disappointment was that we did not get to hang out with them - it would have been fun!
