What a truly AMAZING week I had house-sitting for Kim and spending time with Alfie and Poppy. Kim has been a joy to work with and get to know through the house-sitting experience. Her professionalism and organization is exceptional. The instructions for the visit were FANTASTIC and very easy to follow. I love how much she cares about her home, the people visiting in her home, and most of all how much she loves and adores her cats. My time in Bromley was PERFECT. As a runner, I was able to locate the Greenway Trails close to the house and explored a different running route every day. The Tesco's is literally 200 yards from the front door and the little Main Street is filled with little treasures. Whether you are driving or using the train to travel, this location is so convenient on so many levels. Kim takes huge pride in her home and the spare bed is super comfy. By the second night Poppy was a frequent companion at bedtime and Alfie followed me around everyday to make sure I was never lonely. The backyard is also a treasure to privately sit and bask in the afternoon sunshine. I cannot extend a big enough "Thank You" to Kim for making this house-sit experience so welcoming and fun. I cannot wait to come back and renew my friendship with Kim, Poppy, and Alfie.
A lovely and charming English cottage, with the sweetest little dogs and friendly cat. Kate left us fully prepared for our stay, she was thorough in explaining all that needed attention and a true gem of a person. I wish we had more time not only with the animals but her! If you get the opportunity to sit, get ready to play football with Willa, give plenty of belly rubs to Bridie, compliments to the lovely princess Rudy and kitty rubs to Orin! We loved this sit and hope we can return again someday. Thank you Kate it was like a fairytale ❤️❤️❤️
One of the best sits we’ve ever done! Everything was perfect and we have gained the best memories while looking after Cacio. Jonathan and Evan were extremely welcoming and hospitable. The communication was great and all the information was detailed out in a booklet. The apartment is fantastic. It’s extremely clean and very well styled- it felt like staying at an Airbnb. The view is spectacular, you can see the Empire State Building from the living and bedroom. It’s also very well located- the subway is very close and has great connections into Manhattan. And best of all- Cacio!! She has left such an impression on us. We wish we could bring her home to Australia with us! She is so loving, likes snuggles and also play time. She was an absolute angel to pet sit. Extremely well behaved, great on a lead, toilet breaks and even the subway- nothing is an issue with her. She is the cutest little girl that we absolutely fell in love with. We are so grateful to Jonathan and Evan for trusting us with their girl. ❤️
Communication with Rebecca was great right from the start. Her home is clean and well organized offering anything one could ever need. We felt very welcomed. Bailey is wonderful! He is the epitome of man's, or should we say woman's, best friend. He has a very comforting presence about him that makes you fall in love almost immediately. We enjoyed our daily walks with him. He was somewhat of a celebrity within the neighborhood with many people stopping to say hi as we walked by. If the opportunity presented itself again we wouldn't hesitate returning to Rebecca's home to take care of Bailey.
The bed was a bit small for my husband and myself and a large dog
Was such a pleasure to sit for Lynda, who is an excellent communicator and such a warm and generous host. The welcome guide was very detailed and helpful, even providing recommendation for the neighbourhood. It took Ramona and Kitty a couple of days to warm up to me but then it was like they were my best friend, so affectionate and full of cuddles. Highly recommend and would definitely sit for Lynda again. Thanks 😊
