From our first video call we felt Lucy would be easy to communicate with, flexible, able to take our situation/requirements on board without issue, and someone we could trust. These initial feelings were reinforced once we met and during her sit. We agreed she should come a couple of days before we departed so we could show her round the neighbourhood and explain the details of the house and pets. We left confident that our house and pets would be well looked after, and this definitely proved the case. Unfortunately Lucy developed a cold on arrival and was certainly under the weather initially though she did not let this interfere. Lucy did a great job of looking after Jake and our new cat Simba, demonstrating a great love and care for them, soon winning the affection and confidence of both. Simba,being in part feral, has always been vary wary of any strangers and immediately disappears as soon as anyone calls round, but even before we left Lucy had gained his trust. We also lent Lucy our L200 truck, having put her on the insurance, and this was also well looked after. Lucy did encounter some issues with the internet and other minor problems, but via phone calls Lucy was able to explain the problem and I to provide a solution which Lucy had the technical ability to understand and thus resolve the issues. She kept in regular contact with frequent photos/videos of what the pets were up to and did a good job of looking after the house, even sweeping up the copious amounts of leaves that had fallen. It was a pleasure to have her stay, we wish her all the best in her future travels, and hope she will come and sit again sometime in the future. We have no hesitation in recommending her.

Ranai was wonderful! Very communicative and reliable. She has returned to pet sit for Athena and Loki and they look forward to having her company. I’d be happy to have Ranai take care of my house and cats any time!

Graham is a young, happy, friendly dog with a lot of love to give. He is strong, but willing to learn and listen. He will also talk to you with grumbles and moans, but nothing mean is being said:) The home was perfectly located to visit various Denver museums and if you are careful about what time you travel, you can miss any traffic. The neighborhood is safe, a nearby coffee shop is a quick walk away. I rented a car, but there are nearby bus routes and you can reach the house via train and bus from the airport. Graham's parents are very nice and love their boy dearly. They were always available by text and responded promptly. Thank you!

I had a really great time in Valencia with Piper and Panther.  The cats are shy at first, but then they are so loving and funny. The flat is comfortable and cozy; I loved it. Naomi left everything clean and organized for my arrival and was kind at every moment. I left Valencia very grateful for everything. 🥰❤️❤️

I had a lovely time at Bob's cosy village home with three characterful yorkies. Communication is 10/10 and Bob's well presented organised set of notes detailing all you need to know makes the whole experience easy to understand. The dogs are easy to care for once you get into their routine and Tinks soon warmed to me. Scamp is the leader and enjoys his walks. Would recommend to anyone wanting a sample of surrounding Essex and i slept so well! Thank you :)

Jane
My sit with Louis was just wonderful and I will miss him greatly! Jane is an amazing host, picking me up and dropping me off at the station. Her house is beautiful, in an amazing location with lots of parks/greenery nearby. The city center is just a short walk through a lovely park. Now Louis - he is just a pleasure to be around. He is well behaved and loves cuddling, he will demand more pets if you stop. 😄 I loved taking him on long walks, he is also good off the lead. He loves to greet people and dogs. He is friendly to everyone and thus loved by everyone. I would love to come back for another sit and can highly recommend it. 🥰

Our stay with Bonnie was fantastic! Bonnie was a dream to look after - very obedient, friendly, and such a cute personality. The apartment was lovely and really well located next to the park, and made for lovely dog-walks along the River Lea. Central London was also very easy to get to from Stratford station. We Highly recommend it to anyone 😊 Thanks Louise, we’ll miss Bonnie!
