Emily
We had a really good time taking care of Hugo. He's such a loving cat, and very easy to take care of him. Emily has an amazing guide with all the information about the Hugo, the house and the island, we really appreciate the vegan maps while we stayed at her home. The house is in the middle of farm fields, very quiet place and a nice garden to sun bath, just 10 min from the beach and the Jeju Olle trail. You will need the bus to move arround but it's just 10 min by walk from the house. We really appreciate that she kept our big luggage for a week before the sit for us to make the Jeju Olle trail. We would take care of Hugo again without a doubt.

Jacquelyn
It was such a pleasure to sit for Jacquelyn at her lovely and very clean home. This was a 10 day sit in a safe, convenient and quiet area. Jacquelyn has the home automated for lights, security, media, etc and left detailed instructions on how everything works.

The backyard with the Koi pond is quite an oasis of beautiful plants and fragrant flowers. 

Her kitty, Freyja, was such a little love bug and so easy to care for. She snuggled up on the sofa with me when I was reading or watching a movie and slept with me a few nights.

The communication was excellent! Jacquelyn was in a different time zone, but always got back to me quickly if I had any questions. 

I highly recommend this sit…5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We thoroughly enjoyed sitting for Nikola and Stephen.  We arrived the evening before to a lovely welcome and a delicious meal and this enabled them to show us the evening and following morning routine which was a great help.  Their home, an historic Hall, is large but has a lovely comfortable family and homely feel.  The grounds are wonderful and we enjoyed many hours exploring the gardens, the wooded areas and wildlife.  Although there were quite a few horses and ponies and our experience was limited, we soon gained confidence around them and enjoyed making up the feeds and taking it to them in their various fields, we enjoyed the interaction with them and we're sure they enjoyed our company too.  The two turtles were easy to care for, Lavender Brown the chicken just loved sitting at the kitchen window watching us, waiting for tidbits and Milo the cat was an absolute delight.
This was such an interesting House and pet sit and we felt privileged to be able to stay in a property that has such history, being in the same family's ownership for over 400 years. There is much to see and do in local area whatever your interests, and any future sitters should count themselves lucky if they get an opportunity to sit here, we would certainly be happy to return.

Lucy
The sit in Lucy’s house was great, she was very kind with us since the first moment. Place is beautiful, you can admire sunrise and sunset ♥️ is a lovely view. The cats are very independent and have a different character, all 3 of them, they are very attached to Lucy so at first they hardly get close. Ricky was the first to approach us and let us caress him, then Charlotte and finally Sou, in the last week. With us they was out most of the time, but they came back in the night and we cuddle them mostly in the evening. 

The backyard have a place where you must feed the birds in the morning, I saw so many beautiful birds there. House have everything, good wifi, laundry, amazing views, place for make some fire in the nights, great kitchen, + Lucy love the orchids and house have a lot of them, is great. Also she have some sun catchers that really make the space very special. Is very close to the airport, you can visit the pueblitos paisas in this side, they are beautiful. The most easy place for go to the market is Llano Grande, but Río Negro es sometimes great, just be aware about the hours of traffic. 

Thank you very much Lucy, was really a pleasure to be in care of your loves and your place.
