Karolyne
Karolyne and Eddie are two of the kindest humans I have ever sat for or possibly even met... their energy is pure gold!! They made me feel so at home and appreciated and were a joy to communicate with. Lyra and Peso are such sweet and well behaved dogs, I had so much fun walking in the neighborhoood with them and enjoying their company. Not even to mention how homey and comfy their home was. I would be elated at the chance to sit here again!

We had an absolutely wonderful time with Sparkie, the dogs and the chickens at Lucinda's absolutely gorgeous home.  Lucinda is very organised and conscientious with the sits. The practical & comprehensive information she shared up front meant we were able to enjoy the experience with very little adjustment time.

It was my first house sit in a long time with 3 dogs (we had Lucinda's mum's little guy as well) and it was great.  There are plenty of lovely walks within 15mins drive, all with either stunning views or interesting canal and forest scenery. 

We tend to work while on house sits, and thoroughly enjoyed having so much space to run around the back garden and meadow with the dogs to break up the day for us all.  The heated outdoor pool is pretty special, even more so with Mabel running around enjoying the water!

We highly recommend a sit at Lucinda's and hope to visit Moley, Mabel, Sparkie & the chickens again.

Shauna H
We had a lovely sit with Staffie/Pit, Zoey, in beautiful Siracusa, Sicily. Shauna was a delightful host who made us feel very welcome in her home and centrally-located, vibrant, neighbourhood. Zoey was a sweet pup ~ very easy to care for, very well trained to join us on walks around the area, and extremely amusing company for our afternoons reading, or our evenings at home cooking. Before heading off on holiday, Shauna provided lots of detail about Zoey’s routine and habits. We felt very well equipped to ensure that Zoey had plenty of her usual fun during the sit. Shauna, also, shared wonderful insights into Sicilian culture and cuisine, as well as recommendations for fun things to do in Siracusa & nearby Ortigia. This was a gem of a sit that we enjoyed immensely. We feel so grateful to have met both Shauna & Zoey, and would highly recommend this fabulous Siracusa sit.

Nicole was a fantastic host. The place is an absolute haven, and I haven't felt so relaxed in a long time. Sissy is the sweetest cat, and will definitely cuddle with you in bed after a day or two. Overall my favorite place I have stayed so far.

Beautiful home with a great view. Pets were very well behaved and cuddly, especially the dogs. (Missing George and Estelle licks already!) Plenty of hiking and rock climbing nearby. The kitchen was well outfitted for cooking and the grocery store is only a short drive down the mountain. Zach is very communicative and easy to work with. Overall a fantastic experience!

We loved our sit with Tucker! Jordan and Hanna were amazing hosts and provided everything we needed to feel comfortable during our stay. Their home is spacious, clean, and beautiful; the deck and backyard were such cool spots to have coffee or spend time with Tucker playing fetch! Their home is in a really beautiful and walkable neighborhood; we didn’t need to rent a car during our visit and we had everything we within a few blocks. Our walks around the neighborhood were a highlight of our day as there was always a cool house or business that we hadn’t seen before. 

Tucker is THE BEST DOG. Ever. He is so polite and well trained; our first time giving him a treat we were shocked how many tricks he knew! Our walks with him were very relaxing - Tucker loved sniffing around and he never had any issues with people, pulling, or other dogs. In the evenings, we enjoyed sitting on the couch with him snuggled up between us. He is a gentlemen and would wait for us to invite him onto the couch! 

We would love to come back and spend time with Tucker anytime and we miss him already!!
