I was looking forward to have Jutta coming back and this sit was a private invite. Jutta take good care of the cats throughout the stay, which of course was the most important aspect. Though sometimes when things are getting "too familiar", it might be easy to overlook a few things. Due to earlier trust, she was offered a few extra advantages this time. Some extra instructions were given in relation to this. Additionally it was mentioned no need for the extra reminders in the app, as she would know since before, and she knew the routines. Unfortunately during her stay there were some noisy guests as it is holiday season. She was given permission to do what was needed in relation to this if it was a problem. I did what I could from a distance by talking in our community chat for the urbanization. Throughout my trip I got a little bit more than I appreciated complaints about the development of the culture in messages. I haven't had any of these issues after coming back from my trip as well. At the end of the stay Jutta kindly offered to make food to be ready when I came home. This I appreciated and accepted. What I didn't expect when I came home was that the end-instructions were a bit more sloppy followed. Even if intentions were good of leaving all other food/drinks, it wasn't something I appreciated coming home to, needing to start making space for my own food in the fridge and throw away hers. I would have appreciated a clear communication. Instructions about keys were given, parts of it was not followed due to time-constrictions, which for me is better to do with planning. Unfortunately coming home added some extra stress to me getting in due to not following the added instructions given in relation to some special extra key she had access to. As sitters arrive fully to a made up bedroom, clean towels/bathroom mats/tea towels, it is expected that these are washed and hung for drying before the sitter leaves. If sitter has agreed to stay in the main bedroom instead of the guest bedroom, sutters are asked to ensure I don't need to start making my own bed the first thing I come home (as if they sleep in the guestroom,my bed will be made by me before my trip). Unfortunately this time it seemed like planning of time and going through the checklist was a bit more sloppy. Only bedsheets had been put in the washing machine, not ready hung up (cycle takes max 90 min on requested program), towels ready for wash outside, tea towels not changed, bathroom mats not washed/ taken from bathroom even. There had been many ways to solved much of this, though the only thing I was informed when we meet at the airport was that she didn't have time to take up vacuum cleaner and the mops were still standing in the hallway. Jutta was given "permission" not to think about certain things that normally is on the expected list, though unfortunately many more were forgotten (as picking up poop in the "garden toilet box" that the cats use). I'm sure Jutta will be great for other pet/home owners even if we'll not continue our relationship. Mistakes happen, and nothing needs to be perfect, it was just many small things that made this a bit more stressful than I had expected and hoped for. Best of luck in your future sits . Tatters and Sulis says thanks for the time they have had with you!

Frank and Danielle pet/farm sat for me during the Christmas holidays 20-21 for three weeks or so. I was very concerned leaving my senior dog, Sadie, (14 1/2) for such a length of time with someone that I didn’t really know.  However, upon contacting Frank and Danielle, we were both surprised and delighted to find out we were only living about 6 miles away from each other! So they were very open to coming to my place not ONCE but THREE times to get the “ lay of the land” and become familiar with the animals routine. Not only do I have my senior dog, Sadie, but I also have a kitty named Ziggy, 14 hens, a rooster, and 4 French Toulouse geese!
So, they had a lot of different animals to take care of, not to mention it was middle of winter, which always makes things more difficult.
After meeting with this lovely couple several times I felt very comfortable and confident that they were going to take very good care of my animals and home. That was a godsend to me because I could relax and enjoy time with my family during the holidays!  Danielle and Frank kept me updated weekly, if not more, concerning Sadie and sent me wonderful pictures of her on beautiful walks and swims they would take her on regularly. There was never an issue the whole time I was gone.  I came home to a very clean and tidy house and most importantly to very happy and cared for animals!  I feel so fortunate to have found Frank and Danielle, (right in my own back yard!) and I would highly recommend them to anyone that needs a pet/house sitter for any type of animals or length of stay. They are a very capable, responsible and caring young couple.  Rest assured your pets will be well taken care of and loved, and you will come back to a clean and tidy home. I would gladly have Frank and Danielle back for another pet sit!
