Aimee, and her friend Tayler who is also a zeewoi, stayed at my apartment and looked after my cat Rosehip while I was away for three weeks over the Christmas break. Aimee was friendly and warm from the very first message. When Aimee and Tayler arrived, Rosehip immediately gave them her seal of approval by settling into Tayler's lap as soon as she sat down. I was still in the midst of packing and getting ready for my trip and Aimee and Tayler went to the city centre for dinner to give me a little more time to finish up my preparations. Aimee sent regular updates with pictures or videos of Rosehip. I didn't worry at all about Rosehip while she was in Aimee's care. When my flight was delayed and I would be arriving later than I expected, Aimee even offered to re-book her train and accommodations in order to stay with Rosehip. I had her instead pass the keys on to a friend who was back in town after the break. I arrived home and my bed had been remade with my sheets, she had washed and folded all of the bedding and towels that she and Tayler had used, which she had to do at the local laundromat, and had left the place sparkling. It was cleaner than when I had left it! I would recommend Aimee as a house and pet sitter to anyone and everyone!
Wilton and Claudia were terrific house sitters! From the moment they applied to sit for us it was clear that they were efficient and reliable. When they arrived our dog Zouma took to them immediately and clearly loved being looked after by them. Our house was immaculate on our return and throughout their stay they kept in touch so we knew all was well. I cannot recommend them highly enough and hope to meet them again.
