What a wonderful blessing to have Joy and Cam as our first experience with Trusted Houesitters! They were incredibly polite, kind, respectful and treated our home as if it were their own. Most importantly, they loved our pets and sent adorable photo updates and even videos! I appreciate that before we even met, they had a list of thorough questions for me to make sure that everything ran smoothly. I will post this Q and A for other sitters as they were great things to consider that definitely helped plan and prepare for one another’s needs. The day they arrived, they brought delicious chocolates for us to take on our travels . As the host, I did not expect them to bring me something, but it was very thoughtful. Joy and Cam were super quick to reply to any questions or messages that I had, which was reassuring and helped me relax that my pets were in great hands and all was well. They were independent and didn’t interrupt our trip with extra needs but were friendly and available when we did connect. They were eager to please, reliable, and carefully took care of our home. The morning we were leaving, we ate a homemade breakfast together and afterwards they said “don’t worry about clean up, we will do this while you get ready to leave.” Wow! I definitely didn’t expect that extra help before their sitting even began. Another bonus trait about them I would like to share Is how clean and organized they were. I didn’t expect any extra cleaning, but they took the time to make the house look even better than when they arrived. The pool was spotless and even though we have a pool cleaner, they took extra time to pull out remaining leaves. Joy and Cam cared for our fruit trees, plants and tomato plants and I was happy to see them thriving when I returned. Their nurturing care extended to all living things 🙂 It is always great to come home to happy pets but I wanted to add one detail which evidenced how much love they poured into our pets. We drove them to the airport the next day after we returned, so they slept an extra night and our dog Daisy was torn at first who to sleep with! She went back to their room a few times before settling in our room. Finally, we connected with Joy and Cam not only as a mutually beneficial exchange, but have made dear friends we can visit if we ever travel to New Zealand. I highly recommend them 100% and would love to share more details if you have any questions.

Amy
Absolutely lovely sit at Amy and Rhys' home in Cardiff. 

The two dogs, Dewi and Tui, are full of energy, and super sweet, with both loving cuddles and affection. They are both really well behaved, and there is a nice park at the back of the house which was perfect for them to stretch their legs, and burn off some of that aforementioned energy! They are both great without the lead, and have strong recall, even with a newcomer into their lives.

The house itself is a lovely family home, and super comfortable. Amy and Rhys were a delight to deal with, and I had a really nice stay :)

Caitlin
Caitlin & Burt were a joy from start to finish. Caitlin is an exemplary host, very easy to get to know - organised, flexible, thoughtful and welcoming. We worked well together throughout the sit, taking everything in stride as we went along.   On top of the concise welcome guide, we spoke & texted to fill in what I needed to know about Burt ahead of the sit.  

I felt both comfortable and completely at ease throughout. Communication was a breeze and always prompt.   Caitlin  made sure everything was sitter ready and handed over a spotlessly clean home - which is always much appreciated by sitters. 

Pinner is an accessible location and the flat is in a nice leafy neighborhood & conveniently located to other nearby boroughs as well. 

Unfortunately it was raining and cold the short time I was there but Burt more than made up for the weather. He’s an absolute joy to sit, independent, incredibly well behaved, affectionate and playful. We hit it off from the moment I arrived and bonded nicely. Without exaggeration Burt is such a character. Just give him time & space to trust you. Win his trust to unravel his endearing personality, bed time snuggles on his terms of course. Best to let him  come to you to ask/signal for strokes.   Truly such a joy and a breeze to care for and tons of fun. He loved being brushed & playtime. 

It resonated with me the commitment Caitlin  made in giving Burt a loving home and a second chance. Burt  is clearly a happier kitty for it.   In closing, massive thanks Caitlin for picking and trusting me with darling Burt and your cozy home.   I miss my full on conversations and snuggles with Burt. He’s  such an endearing intuitive kitty and I love him for it.   

I recommend this sit wholeheartedly. 10 stars for Caitlin and 100 stars for Burt. You will enjoy this friendly ,thoughtful homeowner and her lovely neighbourhood. Above all the absolute joy of sitting Burt. Enjoy as much as I did.

Camilla & Julian
We absolutely loved looking after Camillas home and wonderful dogs.  They were so chilled and very easy.  Typically Nala and fudge would accompany us on long walks around the beautiful grounds.  Raphi preferred to stay local and Misty was happy walking alongside Bill and Ben, the portable lawn mowers.  Camilla was lovely and it’s clear from everyone we met that they think the same.  Thanks Camilla for the opportunity to look after your wonderful home!  We hope to meet you again soon and would be delighted to sweep in and look after your amazing dogs again xxx

We had the best time looking after Winnie and Dottie at Cathy’s lovely home! The girls are well behaved and affectionate, and Cathy’s house and garden are gorgeous. Cathy is friendly and responsive and left helpful instructions and great local recommendations. We’d happily come back and would recommend to anyone looking for a dreamy country escape!

We had a lovely time looking after Jimmy and Paxo at this stunning location. Pilar and Darren were very helpful and gave us a lovely welcome on the first day of the sit. A detailed welcome guide included handy videos on how to use the appliances in this high tech home. 

Jimmy and Paxo are easy to look after, they are great cats with amusing personalities. They’re the Yin and Yang of cats with Jimmy loving human company, he even followed us on an evening walk around the grounds, whereas Paxo is more reserved and preferred to sleep in the shade, occasionally emerging to let us know when he wanted a head rub and feeding; he is a big cat with the cutest voice. We loved them.

The location is in a quiet part of East Grinstead a short walk across a park to the town centre. We had a nice time here, there were some lovely walks, we really enjoyed the walk along the Forest Way which runs around 16 kilometres through leafy countryside. We highly recommend taking a trip on the Bluebell line to enjoy the old steam train experience, with all the old stations to enjoy along the way.

We were very comfortable here and highly recommend this sit.
