From our first video call we felt Lucy would be easy to communicate with, flexible, able to take our situation/requirements on board without issue, and someone we could trust. These initial feelings were reinforced once we met and during her sit. We agreed she should come a couple of days before we departed so we could show her round the neighbourhood and explain the details of the house and pets. We left confident that our house and pets would be well looked after, and this definitely proved the case. Unfortunately Lucy developed a cold on arrival and was certainly under the weather initially though she did not let this interfere. Lucy did a great job of looking after Jake and our new cat Simba, demonstrating a great love and care for them, soon winning the affection and confidence of both. Simba,being in part feral, has always been vary wary of any strangers and immediately disappears as soon as anyone calls round, but even before we left Lucy had gained his trust. We also lent Lucy our L200 truck, having put her on the insurance, and this was also well looked after. Lucy did encounter some issues with the internet and other minor problems, but via phone calls Lucy was able to explain the problem and I to provide a solution which Lucy had the technical ability to understand and thus resolve the issues. She kept in regular contact with frequent photos/videos of what the pets were up to and did a good job of looking after the house, even sweeping up the copious amounts of leaves that had fallen. It was a pleasure to have her stay, we wish her all the best in her future travels, and hope she will come and sit again sometime in the future. We have no hesitation in recommending her.

Oscar is the most delightfully laid back cat who likes a cuddle and enjoys sleeping on your bed.  I spent the first night of this pet-sit alone in the house but Oscar was great company!  Andrea’s home is extremely comfortable and in a great location.  Communication was good before and during the sit and Andrea was very hospitable.  We certainly hope to cat sit again!  A wonderful place, a gorgeous cat and in my home town - perfect! Thank you Andrea. x

Sarah
Shaga is the most beautiful old lady I have EVER encountered.

I spent a blissful week in Sarah’s lovely house with this heavenly creature as my constant companion and found myself reluctant to leave the house and her charming company!

She really is an absolute superstar and incredibly easy to care for and just bursting with love and fun…. she even has her own fan club in the street!

Sarah is the loveliest of people and provided me with fantastic instructions for both house and hound.
I would jump at the chance to care for Shaga again and recommmend this sit as a 5*

Raegan
The housesit at Reagan's was perfect. I spent two weeks there, and it was great.

Hazel is a very lovable and well-behaved dog. I had no problems with her at all. She always behaved well, listened perfectly, is very friendly, and walks exceptionally well on the leash. (I don't know what the previous sitter meant about the shoes; Hazel has no such habits).
Reagan is very easygoing and friendly, and we got along wonderfully.

The house has everything you need; it's an old house with a lot of charm, a large kitchen, super comfortable TV chairs, and a beautiful garden where fireflies danced every evening. So sweet.
A very well-stocked supermarket is within walking distance, and there is parking for the car behind the house.
The area is great for hiking, and it's not far to Ricketts Glen State Park and various state game lands.

Definitely recommend a sit here.

Kristina
It was a pleasure to look after Poes Pas. Kristina and Karsten are lovely, welcoming people who were so hospitable to us. Their apartment is beautiful, clean and comfortable. It is in a fantastic position, close to all the happenings of the town and also a very short walk to the main train station. 
Poes was a dream to look after and has such a cute little meow when he wants some attention and pats. Very loveable little kitty.

Kathleen
I had a wonderful 9 days with Orphelia and Cosmo.  It was a very easy housesit as Kathleen left me detailed instructions and the cats had a regular routine.  Although a bit shy at first, both kitties warmed up to me within a day or two.  Cosmo loves to play and Orphelia loves to cuddle.   Kathleen is very welcoming and friendly, making sure I had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. Her home is spacious and comfortable in a very safe area of Pittsfield.  I highly recommend this housesit.

Cynthia
Cynthia's cat, GiGi, is social and a wonderful lap warmer. The flat is a cozy nest filled with books, music, and art. I came without a personal car and it was easy to get to the flat using the Metra commuter train. It was too cold a day to schlep my wonky rollabaord so I opted for a short Lyft ride to the flat. In warmer weather it's an easy walk. For getting into Chicago there's a bus stop a few minutes' walk from the flat. Despite the frigid temps outside, the flat was warm and comfortable. I'm looking forward to sitting for Cynthia and GiGi again.
