Jack has been an absolute dream as a (repeat) housesitter, this time taking care of our home for about ten days. From the moment we left, we knew everything was in the best possible hands. Jack was incredibly attentive to all the needs of our home, plants, and animals, and his dedication showed in every detail. One of the standout things this time around was how well he took care of our garden. We had recently planted a few new things, including a pumpkin patch, and Jack watered everything with such care. It’s clear he has a green thumb, as everything was thriving when we got back. Jack kept the garden in great shape—especially our nascent pumpkin patch. It's not easy keeping up with new plantings, but Jack did an incredible job. He was also flexible when our travel plans were disrupted. When our flights got delayed and rescheduled, Jack didn’t hesitate to adjust to our return schedule. He graciously extended his stay, ensuring that everything at home continued running smoothly until we got back. His flexibility was such a relief during a stressful time, and we’re so grateful for that. On top of all that, the house was immaculate when we returned. Jack left everything in perfect condition, even better than we left it! He went above and beyond, leaving us a thoughtful gift of pumpkin spice coffee, which was such a warm welcome home. Our chickens grew a lot under his care, and both Ollie, our dog, and Belle, our cat, absolutely adore him. They were happy and content when we got home, which speaks volumes about the love and attention Jack gives them. It's clear that Ollie and Belle feel safe and comfortable with him. Jack's regular check-ins were great, giving us peace of mind, but he’s also incredibly self-sufficient, which meant we could truly relax while we were away. We honestly couldn’t ask for a better housesitter, and we feel so lucky to have Jack looking after everything when we're away. We’ll absolutely be having him back and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and thoughtful housesitter.

Tatiana and Eric were absolutely fantastic, we truly could not have asked for any better people to care for our fur bbs while we were away. We wish that we could give them more than a 5-star review and if you are lucky enough to have them apply for your pet/house sit do not hesitate in engaging them. You will not be disappointed. We wholeheartedly recommend them. From the very beginning when we started communicating with Tati and Eric, they made us feel so comfortable, their well thought out questions put as at ease and it quickly became clear that they really care about and love animals. At our request, they arrived a few days early to get to know Keena, Ben and Rustle which we so appreciate and made the transition so much easier (on us). Ben loved them immediately and continues to head towards their room to sleep at night haha. Keena and Rustle are both a little slower to warm up but the fact that they did and so quickly was amazing, especially Rustle. Rustle really doesn’t warm up to many people and seeing videos of him getting love and attention made us feel so happy. We usually come back to a stressed cat so the fact that he didn’t even seem all that excited to see us speaks volumes about the care and attention he (they) received. While here they went above and beyond to care for our bbs and home, as well, their level of communication was just perfect which made us feel even more confident. Plus, if they noticed anything was off they would reach out right away to make sure that it was normal behavior. The whole housesit was seamless, they are clearly experienced sitters and loved our bbs like they were their own. Not to mention that our house was spotless upon our return!! You want Tati and Eric to be your sitters, trust us!! Eric and Tatiana are also just lovely people, we really enjoyed spending time with them before and after the sit and would welcome them back anytime. We wish them all the best in their travels and would love to think our paths will cross again in the future. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you both so much!

Richard
Richard had us stay the night before he was due to leave so that he could show us what to do, where to walk the dogs and also so he could cook us a nice meal!

Richard was very kind and hospitable while we were there.

The dogs were wonderful and really easy to take care of and the same goes for all of the other pets!

Thanks Richard for helping us as a previous sit had cancelled on us!

Emma
Everything about sitting for Jonah and Broc was fabulous. Communication with Emma was warm, thorough and easy throughout our stay. Her beautiful spacious home nestled in the Wicklow hills with amazing sea views was so very comfortable. Jonah and Broc were affectionate, fun and so well behaved that after only three days we hated saying goodbye. We would not hesitate to sit for the boys again.

Kim and Peter
Kim and Peter have a lovely home in a very nice neighborhood. They gave a good orientation as well as thorough welcome guide. Communication throughout was very good. Mackenzie the cat was such fun to win over. I was so pleased when she decided to sleep with me or seek me out on the sofa. She went off for alone time every so often but came back for belly rubs and hide and seek with kibbles. I found her to be great company. This was a very enjoyable sit.

Anita
House sitting for Anita and Andy was a pleasure. They are both very kind and genuine people who truly love their dogs, Leyla and Stan. They gave me clear instructions about their feeding and walking routines and took me on some walks before they left which was very helpful. They were also very thoughtful to have bought me a basket of assorted breads, cookies, and chocolate before they left, sort of an Easter basket I didn't expect  On the night they returned they also treated me to pizza and we had a chance to visit for a while before I left the next morning  I recommend them highly.

We loved the house and the dogs. Beena and Zuma are playful, friendly and very well behaved. They love running around in the forest or on the beach. But you can also take them to a pub or leave them at home for a few hours. We also loved the house: it's spacious and comfortable. The location is great as well: a stone's throw away from the South Downs and a 20 minute drive from the beach.

Ara
Ara has created a lovely home and yard in a beautiful gated neighborhood.  Their home is equipped with everything one needs and more, including a hot tub to enjoy under the desert stars.  Bentley, Cookie, Newt, and Sophie are all adorable with their unique personalities and very easy to care for.  The four of them get along very well, and they are able to independently access the large fenced yard at their will.  A great sit all around.
