Giulia, Raffaelle and Sophia are a lovely family. We felt very comfortable with them, we shared a breakfast in a beautiful place over the Thames in Kingston and we are really looking forward to meeting them again. The place is beautiful, near the Thames! and the three cats are lovely too...very friendly and easy-going. Matata is very independet, but when he is at home, he loves to be with people. The same is Hakuna. And Shanks, our favourite :) so nice and sweet.
Mike and Joy were very welcoming. When we arrived they showed us around the local area and took us out for a coffee. They explained what Merlin and Leo needed to stay happy and healthy. Mike prepared a delicious dinner for us. They made an effort to have excellent communication since our English is still not very good. Thank you Mike and Joy for allowing us to stay in your comfortable home. We would recommend this accommodation.
Absolutely brilliant homestay! Jessie and the cats were amazing, easiest pets to look after, and the most affectionate as well! Lorraine’s welcome pack with instructions covered everything we could possibly need to know, and we went through any questions the night before. The house is well equipped with everything you could need and very secure, incredible wifi and a gorgeous garden to take Jessie out and throw the ball each day. In the mornings there are multiple parks nearby all within 10 minute drive. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay, it was an absolute pleasure and would look after the house again anytime. Thank you Lorraine
Galina is just a wonderful human. I felt at home with her and her space right away. Masha is a gentle soul whose only desire is to be near loving humans at all times. She doesn't require much- just some walks, food, treats and petting. She is older, so she should be carried or helped up and down stairs, which is easy since she is very light. She doesn't like being alone and can get quite anxious if left by herself. That said, you will be SO very comfortable in this beautiful art-filled home with a water view and a piano that you won't want to go anywhere anyway! If a peaceful, retreat-like setting is your thing, you will definitely enjoy this space and walking around the reservoir. You will be provided with a handy typed booklet that can answer any question you may have about Masha or finding your way around the kitchen/wifi/etc. Communication with Galina is easy and accessible. A wonderful sit that I would 100% recommend on all levels.
Jane and David could not have provided a warmer welcome. We had an amazing stay looking after the lovely Pemba and Selous. Gorgeous home in a beautiful setting. Would love to return.
Overall, this was a really good sit. Teresa and her daughters live comfortably and minimally in a nice home and keep it all clean and tidy. BOB the dog is very sweet, although still puppyish and super playful. He loves his squeaky toys and playing tug of war and chase. He walked fairly well, and will only get better as he ages, I think. They are working with him for training so that's good. He's a big strong guy, so you have to be prepared. He also likes to get a hug from time to time and wraps his front legs over your lap. It's cute, but again, strong! Toby cat is more playful and wants more attention than Hissy. Hissy lives up to her name, and is standoffish until you sit down with her. She warms up nicely, and the more you keep the doors open and let them fight it out, the cats end up tolerating each other nicely. They each have their own rooms, food, and litter, which is nice. And the litter boxes don't stink which is even better. We had just about everything we needed and I was able to work just fine with the Internet. Teresa was communicative the whole time as well. The location is great... a safe neighborhood and pretty easy distance to everything you need. The highway noise is pretty strong thoa, as it's right behind the house. Overall we enjoyed hanging out and taking care of everyone. A really good sit!
