Michael and Katrina house/dog sat for us during the Christmas holiday break. We met them in a Google Hangout prior to the sit and Michael was able to meet us at our house shortly before the sit began. It was great to be able show him around and introduce him to our dogs. Katrina sent updates/pictures of the dogs while we were away. We came home to a spotless house! It was even cleaner than how we left it. Our driveway and sidewalk were shovelled and salted to melt away any ice. After a time away it was so nice to come home to happy dogs and a clean and spotless house. Definitely highly recommend Michael and Katrina as a house/pet sitter. We actually reached out to them for a second house sit in the new year.
So grateful to Guy for looking after our 3 cats so well. We received regular up-dates with photos and immediate response to messages. He was also happy to treat one of them regularly to help with some kind of allergic reaction. Our 3 cats come and go as they please and can be very generous with bringing back presents in various states. Guy was never phased and dealt with everything, including washing various bits of carpet with the carpet washer. Guy sorted out everything in the house for us: from milk delivery we had forgotten to cancel, to a cooker engineer we had to book while we were away. The house was left immaculate and all 3 cats were happy, glossy and relaxed. Guy even let our senior cat take over his suitcase for the whole time we were away. We could not recommend him and his family highly enough.
