Colin and Anju's place is a great place to stay in NYC.  The apartment is accommodated with all you need to cook and feel like home including a tea kettle which I used once and then never stopped (I'm actually using one in the current place I'm sitting for as well now haha) The front room is full of different plants (plus 1) which make you not feel like you are in the city but still are. Everything is walking distance or easy access with the subway that will bring you anywhere with connections all over the city.

Colin also gave a lot of cool and helpful suggestions of things to check out as well as convenience such as laundry/groceries/etc.... in the area. You will never not find something to do in this area! He was also very communicative during the whole stay if you have any questions and to keep him updated. I'm always glad to be able to help out other people via Trusted House Sitters.

Luna was very shy and kept to herself almost the whole time only coming out a couple of times (aside from eating and using the toilet. ) But I would still go in and check on her, and talk to her to try to keep her company at times, but still giving her space. 

PS make sure you check out the Pizza Place down stairs! By the time I went the 2nd time, I felt like a regular, remembered and greeted as I walked through the door!

Barry & Holly
It was a short sit with sweet grandma Molly. She loves to spend most of her time sleeping and when awake reminding humans that she deserves more snacks and as a favour she will go for a walk but not too far. What a star! 
Her owners, Holly and Barry, are very friendly, easygoing and caring hosts and great communicators. They’d put together a Welcome guide and gave us a tour of their clean and cosy London pad.
As it was surprisingly cold they made sure that we were warm and comfortable!
They have two dedicated work desks, excellent for working from home sitters! 
The location is very quiet with excellent transport links and is close to all the attractions London has to offer. 
We recommend this sit 100% and would be happy to return if time allows. 

Thanks a lot Holly, Barry and Molly!

Claire
House-sitting for Claire and her family was a fantastic experience. The little dog Pepper was a joy - very placid, easy, yet gives a lot of love back to you. There is a nearby park/nature reserve that is a real gem within London that I enjoyed visiting with Pepper greatly. The house is beautiful, particularly the huge back garden that receives heaps of gorgeous sun to enjoy! I had a fantastic time and would love to sit there again. Thanks, Sam.

This was an awesome sit for me.
Their beautiful dog Mochi and I enjoyed going for long walks and taking drives in the country.
Thanks for the use of your vehicle.
I’m looking forward to seeing you again.

My stay at Heather's with Pretty the Macaw was Pretty great! The house was clean and comfortable and I explored the  neighbourhood by bike and enjoyed the area and free live music.  Caring for Pretty was actually quite easy and we got along fine. Heather was easy to communicate with both before and during my stay. Thanks, Heather and Pretty. Hopefully we will meet again.

The cats were lovely and the area is quite nice. 

However, this is not a sit for you unless you're a smoker and you're happy to stay in a house that is redolent of stale cigarette smoke. Even the cats smelled of cigarettes! I found it very unpleasant and, had I known the situation beforehand, would not have agreed to the sit. Which is why I feel I should leave an honest review!

Communication with Abi was also not great, as she got the dates wrong and ended up costing me money to change my train travel dates. 

Overall, I'd avoid this sit unless you're a keen smoker!
