We had the wonderful experience of cat sitting for Cinder in March. Colleen and Dan were very easy to communicate with and very welcoming. Cinder the cat was quite shy of strangers and preferred to hide from us during our short stay. We wish we could have been better company for her and encouraged her to interact. Hopefully with a longer stay she would feel more at ease. Dan and Colleen were understanding of this and guessed that Cinder would prefer to keep to herself. She is a very easy cat to care for. The home is very comfortable, light and spacious with beautiful private pool area. The neighborhood is great for walking and a quick drive to everything to see and do in Tampa and St. Pete. We would definitely recommend this sit!
We looked after Sandie’s pets and home for a couple weeks and absolutely loved it!! Their home is comfortable and the pets were very easy to look after.
This sit was only for one night, but it was so great, we could have stayed for months!! Whiskey and Juno are funny, gentle, adorable and easy to look after. Their parents were really kind to welcome us so warmly and to leave their beautiful home so clean and tidy. We just loved playing with the cats and exploring the local area, especially the riverside walks. Transport links (tube, buses) are super close too. We would return in a heartbeat, hopefully for a longer time.
I had a wonderful few days with Mouse and Major. Both so very different but equally adorable. Mouse is very happy sleeping and pottering around the house. She has medication but it was all explained very well. Major on the other hand loved his walks. Being off lead in the fields chasing after a ball is his idea of heaven and he gets wonderfully excited when he thinks he’s going on a walk. Of an evening he loves cuddles on the sofa. I used the bus service to pop into Sherborne and Sturminster Newton so didn’t have to worry about taking my car. Julia was excellent in pre visit communications and I had all the information I needed.
We had a wonderful sit at Isaura's comfortable house in the countryside near Koblenz. We had the opportunity to spend some time with her before she left for her holiday. She is a very friendly, kind and interesting person and very easy to get on with. Her 3 cats are quite different from one another with distinct personalities. We really enjoyed looking after them :-). Isaura's village is lovely. Very quiet and quite near to amazing walks. Try the "Traumpfads" they are circular walks about 12-16 km long. Her house is very spacious and the bed is super comfortable. We would really recommend looking after Dido, Ozzie and Mila and meeting Isaura.
We had a great time at Amy's house. Amy and her lovely family are wonderful and warm people, the house is spacious with a cute backyard and our son loved the toys he was allowed to use. Napali is a sweet elderly dog who loved to be cuddled and just beeing with us all the time. It was very hot in the area, so we appreciated the nearby swimmingpool. Thanks again to Amy for everything!
