Jo and Jon have been our longest petsitters to date as we were away for three and a half weeks. We had "met" on Zoom on a couple of occasions and they came down to visit us and have an introduction to the house and dogs a week or two before the actual sit.This was great as we could show them round and talk them through the details of the sit in a nice relaxed manner. It certainly meant that the handover when we left to go on holiday was very straightforward. They were great at keeping in touch while we were away with updates on how the dogs were doing. There were one or two unexpected glitches while we were away. One of our dogs came in season shortly after we left so needed to be monitored on walks rather more closely than usual but they were very vigilant and careful about where and when they walked her. There was also an issue with our underfloor heating but they liaised with our daughter about it. The dogs were very happy and looked in great shape when we returned and seemed very relaxed with Jo and Jon. Since our return the dogs have been going upstairs to sit outside Jo and Jon's bedroom and I'm sure they are convinced that they are still hiding in there! The house was just as we left it and had obviously been well cared for in our absence. There were also fresh flowers which was a lovely touch. We are really grateful for the excellent house sit by Jo and Jon and for looking after the dogs so well, and we hope they will house/dog sit for us again sometime.

Gillian contacted me directly as their planned sitters had been unable to help out. Although, we were not planning on doing any sits at that time, I am pleased we changed our mind and agreed to help out for the week. 
Gillian and Hugh are a very friendly and sociable couple and we enjoyed a lovely dinner with them the day we arrived. 
Kita and Mynx are beautiful souls who are a pleasure to care for - young Mynx slightly lives up to her name as she is very playful and loves socks (keep them hidden away 🤣). Kita is the elder lady and just very calm and loving.  
Their home is very spacious and comfortable in a lovely quiet development about a 10 minute drive from the centre. 
All  information was on hand in the extensive ‘bible’ and Gillian made it clear she was always available.  This was a very enjoyable and positive house and dog sit ! Javea is a beautiful town with everything you could need.

I've had the privilege to spend the Easter days in Geoff's great apartment, taking care of lovely Wiley and Wally. Both were very approachable and befriended me quickly, taking turns to sit on my lap. 
Geoff was very friendly, and communication before and during the sit went smoothly. His flat is spacious and bright, and although it couldn't be located more centrally, it's still an oasis above the roofs of Basel. The vegetarian restaurant on the ground floor comes in handy, too... 
All in all a great experience that I would definitely want to repeat!

Gorgeous dogs who love play and cuddles on the couch. The home is beautiful, clean and easy to manage. Great location next to one of the best beach pools in Sydney. Highly recommend !

Raphaelle
Antara was the sweetest cat, and I really enjoyed the sit. It was my first time caring for a Bengal, and I was amazed how quickly she bonded with me and followed me everywhere like a dog. She loves to bask in the sun, have play time, and receive affection. Raphaëlle’s apartment was clean, cozy, and comfortable, and I really enjoyed having a dedicated yoga space.

This was a such wonderful sit!  Both Karol & Erik were welcoming and communicative.  And the fur babies!!! I was in love! 
The location was really good. Their home is covenient to everything: shopping, public transport, restaurants, attractions.  You're really only 5-20 minutes away from great local neighborhoods or center city.  You have everything you need in the home and they have an awesome rooftop deck!
I would sit for them again in a heartbeat!

The best part... Noodle, Nila, Sheeba, & Fiona.  Each of them with their own personalities had me cracking up.  I met with Karol & Erik and they provided a very accurate description of each pet so I was very well prepared to take care of each of their needs. 

Frankly, this was a pretty easy sit.  You might have 4 fur babies but I found nothing difficult about the sit. 

Count yourself lucky if you get to love on these babies.
