This is a completely honest review. I heard that TH reviews are often "dressed up" on both sides. This is not, and I hope that it will be helpful. Debby and Mark were the greatest dog and house sitters I can imagine. For three weeks - and three weeks can be a very long time to sit for someone - they took care of our two (very strange) dogs and our home. They managed things when the water heater failed unexpectedly, requiring them to shower at the guest house and to do without hot water at the main house. Two plumbing emergencies, with the latter requiring a wait until our scheduled return. Not an inconvenience they signed up for.... They sent photos to us almost daily of our two puppy-mill rescues, and took the extra time and effort to coax the dogs into interacting with them. The older dog - 10 years - recently had abdominal surgery for having ingested a rock; they took her to the vet to have her sutures removed (as this couldn't happen until two days into our absence). Before our return, they washed these (sweet but squirrly) pups. Most of all, it's obvious that the dogs were treated lovingly, as per their easy adaptation to having us home. Debby and Mark did the laundry and dishes, and cleaned off their cabinet shelves and fridge shelves/drawers before our return. In fact, they cleaned everything so well that I can't tell they were here. Did they bring their own hand soap? Ours is still full. I prepped supplies and the house for them - but can't tell that anything was used. I am so incredibly grateful to Debby and Mark. I hope they get wonderful invitations to fabulous destinations. And I hope they'll stay in touch with us - as housesitters and as friends. Please feel free to contact me at any time for a verbal verification of this review.

Elliot
This was a very enjoyable house sit. Masha is a very sweet dog and great  company. Elliott gave very thorough instructions before leaving for his trip, and the house is very beautiful and in a super location. I would definitely recommend this house sit!

Brian
I had an excellent time with Edward. He was so sweet, well behaved and really simple to care for. I loved petting him on the floor and watching him run around. The house is amazing and I loved the neighborhood. The communication between Lucie/Brian was also perfect. Thanks for such a nice experience.

Letizia
pleasant stay with the cat Giovedì. Letizia and Giovanni live in a quiet and central area. Giovedì likes company and cuddles. Nice way to discover Barcelona.

Ayala
Ayala was a superb human to meet, and what an amazing flat. Super close to Peckham and some great cafes and pubs. Peggy is the sweetest cat, loves lots of attention, cuddles and being wherever you are about the apartment! Thanks for having me, had a lovely time! ❤️🙏

TRACY
Tracy and Rich were so amazing to house sit for. They were super accommodating and very light hearted. They picked me up from my transit station and dropped me off as well after the pet sit. Rocky was the cutest and goofiest boy I’ve pet sat. I definitely got attached to him and loved every bit of my moment with him. Would definitely sit again for them in the future if the time aligns. Could not recommend my stay any better. Thanks a bunch Tracy and Rich.

Heidi
Heidi's house is located in a quiet residential neighborhood with a nearby park and walking trails and well away from the hordes of tourists in the touristy zones of Amsterdam, yet Amsterdam city center is a short bus ride to Amsterdam Zuid metro station and a short ride on the new metro. Charlie and Jasper are energetic and always eager to go for a walk, once on the leash, they are well behaved and eager to go! At home, they both settled into their dog bed during the day and their crates at night. The birds Peaches and Kiwi are like an old married couple doting on each other. They are easy to handle and fun to watch. Heidi was very welcoming and made me feel right at home in her very nice and spacious home. There's a very well stocked Jumbo supermarket within a short walking distance. There's also a cozy backyard to relax in, although during my stay, the weather did not cooperate so I stayed indoors with the furry kids. I'd be glad to house sit again.
