I had a wonderful sit with cats Frankie and Millie and their 4 ducks. I was greeted by Cathryn who was busy packing for the flight later that afternoon. Larry was already in the UK. The ducks were very easy to manage and the cats talked to me all the time. During the day it was more Frankie, during the evening Millie would land on my lap when I watched tv in the living room. No need to say anything about the house, because they were selling it. During my stay there were several visitors to take a look, but that was no objection for me to go sight-seeing. I visited Mirambeau, Blaye, Royan and walked through the centre of Bordeaux on a gorgeous day. Unfortunately I took a nasty fall and was later diagnosed in the Netherlands to have broken my collar bone. That's why I arranged with the contact person to take over my chores the last day, so I could leave one day earlier to report in my home town hospital where the diagnose was made. Sorry Cathryn for the inconvenience I caused :-( I highly recommend sitting for Cathryn and Larry. I'm sure their new house will have an even greater view of the surrounding!
Sitting for RuPaw was a delight. She is an easygoing, snugly kitty who loves to play. Lots of late night cuddles. Kristi did an excellent job answering all of my questions and having the house manual ready for us. Although we did not get to meet Kristy or John, conversation between us was easy going and very helpful. The house is fabulous. It has everything that you could need for a short or long-term stay. There are some very good restaurants nearby. My stay was in the winter so we only looked at the lake but what a view it is!!
Ellie needed a sit just for a night and me and my best friend were happy to escape London for the weekend. The house is bright and with lovely taste and Mikey and Sylvester were exactly as described. We managed to take Mikey on a walk since it was sunny and Sylvester was just coming in and out announcing himself with big meows every time. We read our books in peace and had a great experience overall! Thanks Ellie :)
We had a fantastic time watching Milo and Bailey. Penny’s gorgeous home in Ballard is spacious, beautifully decorated and walking distance to coffee shops, breweries and restaurants. She provided a welcome guide that had clear directions on how to best care for sweet Milo and Bailey, as well as recommendations for the neighborhood! She was super easy to communicate with and taking care of Milo and Bailey was a breeze. They are both loving, easy to care for and excited when you come home. I would recommend Penny’s home and Milo in a heartbeat!

Deb is very kind and thorough and readily available for questions and recommendations. Her home is cozy and so perfectly located for a beach visit. Valentine is a lover and so smart. She’s talkative on walks and never tires of lapsits. Lincoln took a while to warm up but soon insisted on lap time and attention a few times a day. Murphy was the morning critter of the house, talking and following around until getting the attention he wanted. Overall a great pet sit experience from the neighborhood, location, accommodations and of course, the critters!
