Crystal is a very sweet and kind person and I liked her a lot when she came in to meet Zazu and I. I could see straight away that Zazu liked her and For me the most important thing on these sits is that Zazu is safe and happy and that my flat is well taken care off. And Crystal did that. This being said, there’s a few points I’d like to mention. As she knows, there was a bit of miscommunication on the check in day which meant Crystal arrived later than I had wanted and Zazu was alone longer than I wished, so I take the lesson to be more clear about it in next sits. I also wouldn’t have minded if Crystal had sent me more updates (like once a day) but I didn’t feel too good asking for it as I didn’t want to disturb her. Also, one day Crystal locked herself out with Zazu and luckily my neighbours were around and had a spare key, but very often they are not and that would have been a stressful time for Crystal to resolve it as during Christmas time I didn’t have anyone around with a spare key set. Finally, something that bothered me a little bit was that when I got home Zazu’s water bowl was totally empty, and of course that’s a big issue for me and it made me wonder how long it had been empty for. I am sure it was just an innocent slip mistake but quite an important one to not happen again. Overall, Crystal was a lovely person but I did wish all these little hiccups wouldn’t have happened.

Marie
I was delighted to meet Marie and Dan before they went away, and I really enjoyed the company of Jaya, Bella and Puss and looking after them. I was made to feel very welcome. It is a charming and peaceful home with a fantastic view. I was given very detailed instructions so I didn't have any questions during my stay and Marie was introduced to the neighbours just in case. The location is secluded yet very close to areas filled with wonderful things to see and do.

We had a wonderful time in Lucy’s beautiful home with her gorgeous dog, Luna.  Lucy is a warm, kind and friendly host.  Her house is in a stunning part of South East England.  We were able to take Luna on long walks in the countryside followed by a drink or meal in the very dog friendly White Hart pub nearby. We highly recommend this house/dog sit.

Lynn
Dua was a very sweet and happy dog, having a private forest next to the house made me feel safe while walking her without the leash.
Lynn is a very nice & open minded person, she welcomed me like I was part of the familly.

Michael
Laka is such a sweetheart! Adorable and loving yet easy to care for and fairly independent. Michael’s communication and instructions were clear and on point as well very compassionate. His home is beautiful and comfortable with soothing energy and creative vibes. Plus Port Townsend is as adorable as Laka! 
I would ABSOLUTELY sit for Laka again!

This was a peaceful stay in a quiet neighborhood with everything you could need from entertainment to grocery to the beach within a 10 minute drive. The hosts Instructions and communication were clear and readily available. 
The home was well kept and equipped for a long stay with the pool being a great break from the Florida heat.

As for babes, Xena is the older and spends most of her days lounging with encouragement she will engage in some play time. Kilo is the alpha of the pack and should be kept away from yogi as instructed, which I had to learn through experience. Little dog is a bit timid and may deny eating but some treats will coax her to eat and get comfortable with you. Fluffy may also deny eating but will with gentle encouragement and Yogi is a ball of energy and will enjoy all the play time walks and cuddles you can give. Overall they are a  super zen gang. I’d gladly sit again and recommend the same!

I had such a great time in Passage West looking after the cutest and most easy going animals. Lola, Bobby and Molly were the best company and really made our sit.

The bunnies were so chilled and did their own thing.

Thanks so much to Michelle and family for being so welcoming and kind. We would come back in a heartbeat!
