This was my first time having a stranger stay at my place, so this was a big deal for me. I had a good feeling about Kyle from the start and was excited about the idea of helping a fellow Bostonian see the unparalleled city of Austin. Like me, he works from home in the healthcare industry. I had the privilege of meeting Kyle on the first day of the sit. I found him to be friendly, funny, and affable. As this was my first time having a sitter, I texted Kyle details of the apartment and pet care as I thought of them. I appreciated him baring with me through this as I am working to now compile a user-friendly guide. Kyle was sure to communicate frequently. He updated me often about his arrival and departure and also sent pictures of himself with Gypsy during the stay. He also gave me a heads up about having someone over. The only questions he had were about the laundry, which evidently was the one thing I didn't go over. He was self-sufficient and attentive to the fine details of the apartment and the care of my cat. Kyle relieved the stress of stress of separation anxiety my cat goes through when left alone, therefore relieving me of inevitable guilt. My cat seemed to be at ease when I returned home. I could tell she missed me, but she did not seem stressed whatsoever! As Kyle promised, the apartment was not only just as clean as I left it, but cleaner. I have a bad habit of stuffing my recycling underneath the sink and procrastinating the removal. I was pleasantly surprised to find Kyle emptied the whole thing. In this he must have discovered I'm a beer drinker because he also left me a 6 pack! Not only this, but he left a bunch of food, which is great because I'll eat anything you leave in my apartment. Would absolutely have Kyle again. Highly recommend him to give you and your pets ease when traveling.

Paul and Jo cared for our dogs, other animals and home  very competently. They even  coped  with the demise of our elderly cockerel  in a calm caring way, much appreciated. 
Ted and Ren  had plenty of exercise and attention.  We came home to a happy tidy home. 
Thank you.

Francesca has almost become family, specially for Brillo. We had her as a sitter for the third time, my cat recognizes her and has become affectionate, he looks for cuddles as never before and I feel happy and safe in her hands. 
Furthermore she dealt with the fixing of a roller shutter while I was away: we found together a way to have it repaired and I am grateful for that too, because everything was like before when I came back home. 
Thanks Francesca, hope to have you again!

Would totally invite this family back. Communication before, during, and after was thorough and clear. They definitely went above and beyond to ensure our pets were safe and well cared for! And we returned to a spotless home.
