Joseph took care of our cat and house-sat for us for 2 weeks. In advance of our trip, we were able to do both a virtual and in-person meet and greet to ensure everyone felt comfortable and do a walk through of the house, which we really appreciated.While we were away, Joseph responded quickly to texts/any questions we sent and provided photo and text updates every 1-2 days. Upon our return, our cat seemed happy. Unfortunately, the day of our return, Joseph accidentally locked himself out of our house. He communicated with us and we were able to provide him access to a backup key. However, when we returned home about an hour and a quarter later, we were surprised to find that he was still there (he was supposed to have left much earlier in the day before we arrived home, and we knew he was running a little behind because of the lockout, but he didn’t tell us he would still be there when we walked in). He texted us that the house was clean and ready for us, but unfortunately the house was not clean and the cat litter boxes were quite smelly and appeared not to have been changed or scooped in many days. While we realize that getting locked out of the house created some delays in getting packed and tidying the house, we were upset to find the kitty litter in that state and for the clear disorganization, at least in the final day. We provided this feedback directly to Joseph and hope that this was a one-time experience. However, we would urge clear communication around any expectations for cleaning, communication, and care.

Rachel
Carly and her partner were the ideal house sitters. From the start her communication was clear and timely, arriving with enough time to get a tour and instructions, and this continued throughout our trip as she sent updates and pictures of our cats and garden.  We returned home to a sparkling house, clean laundry, a thriving garden and happy cats. I couldn't have asked for better house sitters. We will most certainly be writing to them to ask if they're interested in staying again before we look elsewhere!

Abi
Abi was friendly and communicated well both before and during the sit. Her cats were shy at first then got used to me; they are lovely and easy to look after. She explained how everything worked and left clear written instructions for me. Her house is clean, homely and comfortable to stay in. The local town is a joy to visit with lots of independent shops. I would recommend this sit. Thank you for choosing me to look after Poppy, Lottie and Flip Flop

Linda
Hands down best HouseSit thus far! Beautiful lake front house with the most amazing dog, Rosie! You will have to meet Rosie to find out how amazing she really is. She is they best therapy dog ever and she is not even a therapy dog! She really knows how to light up the room with her cute personality! I had so much fun playing with her, taking her on walks and just watching tv! It was so nice being on the water with lawn chairs and reading a good book! Lake Forest is a nice city close to lots of attractions. Linda was the perfect host communicative, nice and made me feel apart of the Lake Forest community! One of her neighbors even took me on a Duffy ride! Thank you so much for the opportunity! I hope to HouseSit for you again!

This was a wonderful house/pet sit! Maggie is a very sweet little cat and was a joy to spend time with. She loves her naps and knows how to seek out warm spots (sunshine, the heat vent, our laps). She enjoys a bit of playtime too.

Judy and Tom have a lovely home - cosy, comfortable and full of character. We really enjoyed the Seattle neighbourhood and some of the restaurants, bakeries, etc. that are within a short walk from their house.

Judy and Tom were perfect hosts. They left a very thorough welcome guide with clear instructions about Maggie and their house, along with maps and recommendations to enjoy the area.

Overall a fantastic sit that we would happily repeat!

This was a really wonderful pet sit. Roger is such a sweet, gentle boy, happy for a cuddle once he gets to know you, and loves being on the balcony watching the world pass by. He also enjoyed playing (with a bit of encouragement and some food bribery!). A very special wee cat.
The apartment is in the perfect location for exploring Singapore, and has lovely amenities (pool/gym). Security staff and neighbours were friendly and it's super safe.
Sophie was amazing, leaving really clear, comprehensive instructions about everything from Roger to local recommendations. Communication was easy throughout and she was relaxed about by arrival time when my flight was delayed.
Overall I'm so grateful to have been able to look after Roger and stay in such a brilliant place, a real privilege. Would happily come back in future!
