If Ana happens to apply to any of your dates, confirm her sit as soon as possible! I know it's easier to just post 5 stars for sitters, but this one is truly legitimate. We lost one of our last two herd goats just before Ana came, leaving one very senior goat on his own. I went back and forth between traveling and canceling to stay with him and figure out his best options. The trip was critical to make and with Ana's assurances, I left for two weeks. My little had the best companionship, the best care, very attentive eyes on him, and was never alone for too long, helping him to adjust to his new normal. This platform is great for people to travel and visit new places; however, animal care often comes in second for the explorer as they enjoy their new surroundings. Ana found the way to enjoy time for herself yet keep animal care as her priority. My senior pup loved having Ana's little senior pup, Peanut, in the house. When I come home from traveling, I can tell in an instant if my animals were satisfied with their care, and these two were happy little campers! Sadly, our summers include wicked wildfires. We had one break out within 2 miles of the house--on the day I was traveling coast to coast. When I landed and spoke with Ana, thankfully the fire was under control and evacuation was not required; however, she already had contacts established for transport for my goat and she had the car packed with all she would need for their care should evacuation been necessary. Having a wildfire that close to your home is completely unnerving, especially when you are not home. It took some time for me to settle my nerves but it was NOT because I lacked confidence in Ana. Her communication was fantastic. Again, explorers often say they will send updates daily or send photos and then they go MIA periodically. Ana sent me daily updates, as I had requested, and sent photos. I could tell by their energy in the photos that all was well. We really didn't know how my senior goat would do on his own and with someone new. Ana and Pippin quickly became tender friends and he felt safe with her. Pinkie pup loved all of the attention she got. This is a long review but it is important for me to write it. We all put a lot of trust in the person coming in to our homes and caring for our littles while we are away. On some level, we have to surrender and trust all will be well upon our return. This is the first time I can say that I could focus on the difficult task that requires me to travel and not have a constant worry running in the background. Personally, it has been lovely getting to know Ana. She is a very kind, compassionate, and generous person. She has keen eyes when it comes to all the details and the sweet care we hope to receive for our littles. And we really really hope she wants to come back for another visit!

Martin
Martin has a lovely clean home and two lovely cats. Snowy and Misty took a few days to warm up to me but were asking for my attention soon enough. They are clean, calm and rarely use their litter box as they go outside - so watching after them was a breeze. The coffee machine, however, was my favourite part about Martins house - it made my morning routine so easy :) Martin was also very responsive while he was away. There were no major issues but knowing he was easy to contact was reassuring.

Jackie
It was such a pleasure looking after Archie as he was such an affectionate, well mannered dog. It was a very comfortable, lovely house and garden and Jackie and Richard are friendly and hospitable and a pleasure to get to know and we would love to renew our acquaintance with them in the future. The Shrewsbury, Shropshire area is very beautiful and it is somewhere we would love to come back and see again.

Trine
Trine was so lovely and easy to communicate with! Tilly and Peaches are very sweet dogs. My partner and I were very relaxed and comfortable in her home and would definitely stay again! A car might be helpful, but not necessary as there's a bus to Farnham a short walk away.
