My dogs and cat were very happy to have Bert in our home, and I'm very grateful to him for making them so happy! Bert spent a lot of time with me in a video call prior to the sit; I appreciated the chance to learn more about him and his past pet sitting experiences, and I also appreciated his taking the time to fully understand the situation at my house before committing to the sit. His questions during our conversation showed me that he was thinking ahead and that he was serious about wanting to give the best possible care to my animals. A good friend of mine who lives in my town helped me greet Bert when he arrived; this friend told me that Bert asked a lot of good questions and was very friendly and polite. Throughout the sit, Bert kept in touch with me, sending me photos of my babies and asking me any questions that came up. He even cared enough to ask about the locations of my dogs' and cat's toys. Due to the unusual circumstances of my trip, I never got to meet Bert in person, but in the photos he sent, I always saw very happy dogs and a very pleased cat. Two of my dogs are quite shy, and the photos of them crowding in close for Bert's attention and cuddles really warmed my heart. Because my local friend was not available on Bert's last day at my house, Bert was kind enough to stick around and make the time to be at my house to welcome my next sitter. I really appreciated his help in introducing her to my pets and showing her what she needed to know before he left. It was clear to me that with Bert, my animals and home were in very good hands, I am thankful for his good care, and I would happily welcome him back into my home with my pets whenever he next comes back to Taiwan.

Mark
Mark made us feel completely relaxed and welcome in his beautiful and very organised home. He had also very clear instructions incase of any unforeseen circumstances. That was perfekt for us!
It was very easy to take care of Daika, Pickles and Pepper. They are well educated, socialised with other dog and relaxed. And they really love to cuddle. 
It was also a very nice time together with Mark.
Thank you Mark! We love your humor and magnificent hospitality!
We are happy to see all of you again in September for another sit.

To cap it all: the house is in a stunning part of Switzerland.
If you have the chance to sit we highly recommend that you do!

Rebecca
It was an absolute pleasure looking after Daisy. A lovable low maintenance cat who loves nothing more than a good head scratch and brush. Rebecca was friendly and approachable from the outset with great communication throughout. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Bruno
I feel so grateful for the incredible opportunity to pet sit at Bruno and Alfredo's home in picturesque Bella Vista! It was my first “official” petsitting experience (having done it for years, but outside the THS platform)

Caring for Toriana and Poló was an absolute joy, and the entire experience was so magical I couldn't wait to share my review!

First, the location: Bella Vista, nestled by the sea, is a haven of tranquility. The house itself is a true gem, offering the perfect setting for remote work with high-speed Internet available and dedicated spaces both inside and outside the house. My favorite work space was at the veranda, with the breathtaking view of the garden. Speaking of which, the garden deserves its own chapter – you can feel the love and attention poured into it. The diverse array of trees, flowering plants, and even a herb sector for cooking makes you want to stay all day outside, under the soundtrack of chirping birds. One of my favourite activities was spotting and photographing hummingbirds! 

Now, turning our attention to the essence and highlight of this pet-sitting adventure:  Toriana and Poló!  Our connection was immediate and tending to them brought me immense joy. The thorough instructions provided by Alfredo and Bruno facilitated a smooth transition. With unique personalities, both cats embraced love, hugs, caresses, and boundless joy. Despite their liberty to roam, they opted to be my constant companions, choosing to spend most of their time by my side ❤️

In summary, my sitting experience at Bella Vista was beyond perfection. Bruno and Alfredo are the best hosts, and whoever has the privilege of being chosen by them to care for Toriana and Poló is in for a truly fortunate experience.

Thanks Bruno and Alfredo for entrusting me with your home and the delightful companionship of Toriana and Poló. From the very beginning to the end, it was an absolute pleasure and an experience I'll ever forget!

Charlotte is a one year old, very sweet, black &white kitty. She is shy and initially distrustful of new people. But sometimes she forgets about it and gets caught up in the fun. I spent almost 3 days in Coogee taking care of a kitten. She and I did not miss anything because Charlotte's "parents" are very nice to everyone. A wonderful beach, swimming and a walk along the coast made my free time pleasant. I wish all the best Tim Pamela and Charlotte :)

Zane is such a great dog. He’s super obedient and loves to cuddle. We loved going to the beach, which is 20 min walk from the house. Wafa was in contact with me while she was away and answer all my questions promptly. She was super welcoming and kind.

Babette
This was our first sit with TrustedHousesitters and we can honestly say that despite the wet weather we enjoyed every minute of it! Babette {Biddy} and Dan had only just moved in to their stunning newly renovated farmhouse {pictures on the listing were of their former home next door} on a working farm in beautiful countryside just 5 minutes from the West Dorset coast. We had been invited to visit the farm a couple of days before the sit to be shown how everything worked, backed-up by helpful videos by super- organised Biddy! We were given a large, very comfortable bedroom and use of the immaculate, luxurious family bathroom next to it. Their two pugs, Bow and her son Doug, were a joy to look after and good as gold around the house and out on walks. They bonded with us very quickly and seemed genuinely happy to hang out with us, snuggling up on our laps in front of the cosy wood-burner, amusing us with their playful antics and joining us on two good daily walks - even in the pouring rain! Biddy`s horse Nero and the family pony Solo live out so just needed checking on daily with some hay and a bucket feed, no trouble at all. Biddy and Dan are very friendly, generous hosts who go out of their way to make you feel relaxed in their beautiful home. Can`t recommend this sit highly enough and would love to be invited again!
