Lauren was a phenomenal dog sitter. She was easy and reliable to communicate with, she thoroughly read the house manual and asked any questions she had. She was competent and thorough about my dogs medication schedule. She sent frequent pictures and updates so I had peace of mind that my pups were in good hands. My neighbor even commented on how great she seemed with the pups. She left the place extremely clean, and even left a note and some flowers! I would highly recommend Lauren to care for your home and pets.

I noticed that the 2 previous pet sitters did not leave any reviews so I will add my review for future pet sitters.

Charlotte and her husband's home is very spacious and well kept. I had access to the 1st floor, basement (cats space) and the airbnb (sitters sleep space). This house/pet sit had highs and lows for me. I met with Charlotte and Joris a few hours before their departure. They were very friendly. Because Simba is an 8 month old puppy I felt Charlotte kept trying to add on duties that were not agreed upon during our previous communications. Since I had no major sightseeing plans for the week I just went along with the last minute 3hr away limit. She reminded me of the occasional pet parent who treats sitters like unpaid employees rather than a mutual exchange of services. Sometimes hiring a paid sitter is a better fit when one expects dog training along with little to no personal time.

Simba is a sweet dog with a great temperament. Easy to get along with but still has a ways to go with his social training. He adheres to his schedule very well. He did chew my main pair of prescription eyeglasses. Charlotte and I agreed on a 50/50 split for replacement pair with no problem. It was easily settled. The fireplace in the living room is a nice touch but unless you're willing to log into your own streaming apps there is not much incentive to watch the TV there.

The cats Mario and Daisy were a breeze to care for. They have a very nice set up in the basement (indoor/outdoor). Occasionally Mario will hang out on the 1 floor when he wants some human time.

The low point for me was finding out the morning of my first full day that there was a large dried pee/urine stain you could smell on the beautiful fur blanket and see/smell on the light color comforter underneath. Since the obvious dry appearance and the fact that Simba had not been in the airbnb since my arrival, it was an old stain. I had to strip and wash all bedding. The fur blanket was unusable. The comforter still had slight urine smell after washing(so I did not feel comfortable using it). Like most people would agree this (and the cronically clogged shower) made my stay in the airbnb very disappointing.

Hopefully these were just an unfortunate set of circumstances that future sitters would never have to deal with.

Highly recommend this sit.  Communication with Ashley was excellent.   Otto warmed up to us and was so fun to play with.  Location at The Wharf and gorgeous apartment made this the perfect sit!

This was a wonderful sit.  Blakey & Lily were very chilled, friendly & well behaved dogs.  We took them on some lovely walks along the canal and Elam woods and it was a pleasure to walk them.  No barking, no pulling.  The people around the area were friendly and helpful.  Lots of lovely places to see around the area.  Cliff Castle Museum was one of my favourites.  The accommodation was very comfortable, charming and loved the amazing view of so much green, the canal, a view with character.  We enjoyed sitting on patio area enjoying the lovely garden.  Siya and family were very welcoming and gave us good clear instructions and information on pet routine and operation of house and places to visit.  We also like the families eco friendly home and caring about the environment.  I would highly recommend this pet sit to other pet/house sitters

I loved loved loved everything about this sit. 
Godrick is literally the sweetest cat on the entire planet. Cuddling & purring 24/7, super easy going, also giving him his “mush” was pretty easy. I wish I could kidnapp him!!!!!

Caleb is also the nicest guy, extremely organized, has a beautiful place in Berlin with literally anything you need and responds within seconds to any questions. I’ve done a bunch of sits already but this one really felt like a home. 
The apartment is located in a super save and pretty part of Berlin with anything you need within 5 min of walking. For real you can even see the supermarket from the balcony. 

All in all I would do the sit again in a heartbeat (actually will do, already agreed to the next sit!m and can’t wait)

The Silvers were great, generous hosts!  Their animals were so personable, too.  Mallory, the parrot, was the most interesting.  I've never cared for a parrot before.  Lilly was the ever present dog and I enjoyed Harper Mae even though she was only in the house for a week before being adopted. The cats were something else!  Clementine, the wanderer.  Carl Sagan the foster cat was my favorite.  By the end of my two weeks, one of the elusive cats had warmed up and actually wanted to sleep with me instead of disappearing like lightening.  The Silvers home was comfortable and I had a good experience all the way around.  I'm glad I could be helpful so that they could go to Paris.
