Tom sat for us (without Mar) for a long weekend, arriving on the morning of our departure, at the planned time. He kept in touch prior to the sit and on the day to confirm his arrival time. It was a beautiful day and as we explored the garden, our cat Gabi joined us. She jumped up on the table and immediately rolled over in front of Tom to introduce herself. As we moved into the house, our other cat Zoe came by to see what was going on. She's usually pretty aloof, but to our delight, she walked directly to Tom to ask for cheek rubs. We were quite astonished as it's not like her at all. So, from the get go, we knew the kitties would be very happy. He must give out very happy Pheromones. =^..^= We established that we were likely to miss each other on our return, but Tom sent a great update on the girls and the house. It has to be said that, our house was immaculate. I could not even tell which of the guest bedrooms he'd chosen to sleep in. Sheets and towels were washed and dried, beds were remade, and towels were folded and replaced. Bathrooms were both as clean as they had been when we left. Given summer had finally arrived (in August!) he happily agreed to water the garden and updated when he had done so. He's lovely, calm, easy going and exudes positive energy. I wouldn't hesitate to have him sit for us in the future. Thanks for everything Tom.

Patricia was delightful and took excellent care of our pet Gracie and our home.   She communicated clearly with us, arrived as promised and kept us informed while we were away.  Things were immaculate on our return.  We thoroughly enjoyed meeting her and look forward to seeing her again.  We recommend her highly for your home and pet sitting needs.

This was an absolutely lovely sit. Alex and Dory were wonderful hosts. They were very hospitable, picking me up and dropping me off at the train station, and even letting me stay an extra night to better coordinate with my next destination. They made me feel very comfortable, welcome, and valued. 

Lucky is a very independent, but also very loving cat once you've earned his trust. Don't be alarmed if he disappears for a bit in the beginning, and just keep putting out his food and milk as the hosts request, and he'll come to trust you and eventually come hang on your lap or visit you in the bedroom. (He thinks he's a guard cat; it's quite cute). The fish are incredibly straightforward; the hosts generally just require feeding.

The house is very homey. It's clearly lived in by a lively family of four. A bit cluttered, but not off-putting. It's tidy and feels like a place you can be really comfortable in. The guest room is in the attic, so just be aware that it can get a bit hot in the summer, but the windows provide good airflow. 

Overall, it was an easy, comfortable sit, and the neighborhood is just delightful.
