Richard and Nika's professionalism was evident from the start. Richard arrived at our home well in advance of our departure, allowing us ample time to go through all the house-sitting details. This punctuality and preparedness immediately put us at ease, setting the tone for a smooth house-sitting experience. Richard's calm and collected demeanour further reassured us, and it was clear that he had a natural affinity for animals. The dogs quickly warmed up to him, and by the time we left, they were already comfortably lounging with him on the sofa. Throughout our time away, Richard and Nika kept us updated on the dogs' wellbeing via a WhatsApp group, providing us with peace of mind and reassurance that everything was going smoothly. Upon our return, we were greeted by Nika, who had maintained the house impeccably. Our bedding had been changed, and the towels were freshly laundered, reflecting their meticulous care. The dogs, visibly relaxed and content, clearly enjoyed their time with Nika, which reassured us of their ability to provide a loving environment for our pets. We had a wonderful experience with Richard and Nika as our house-sitters. They took excellent care of our home and pets, and we felt completely at ease while we were away. Their responsible and attentive nature was truly appreciated, and we wouldn't hesitate to have them house-sit for us again in the future. We wholeheartedly recommend Richard and Nika to anyone in need of reliable and trustworthy house-sitters.

Maddison took exceptional care of our apartment, garden, our two cats and our corn snake. From the first communication Maddison was professional and organised. It was clear that she had spent some time reading our profile to familiarise herself with our needs before reaching out to us. It was clear from our communication that Maddison was serious about housesitting for us and that she had researched the area. During the sit, Maddison kept us regularly updated on the health and wellbeing of our pets, this is especially important to us as one of our cats is 15 years old with an ongoing health problem. During a flare up of this condition, Maddison kept us updated on our cats health and administered medication to her. Maddison handled feeding our snake very well and he continued to eat well for her throughout the sit. He can sometimes be fussy so we know she followed our instructions well! As we were away for a longer period if was necessary for Maddison to forward some post to us, this was carried out promptly and it helped us keep in control of our life admin whilst we were travelling. Upon our return we found our apartment spotlessly clean, our cats relaxed and happy, the garden (including vegetables!) doing very well and our snake well fed and content. We wouldn't hesitate to welcome Maddison back for another housesit in the future and wholeheartedly recommend her!

Renske
Excellent videos from Renske clearly explaining what the animals needed and how the house operated. Also useful information for taking Mishka on walks. Renske kept in touch with us whilst house-sitting. Mishka is an intelligent, well trained dog. She was an absolute delight and very easy to take on walks. Only regret was having to leave her behind! Rio also very easy and friendly.
Highly recommend this house sit, particularly if you have no transport. Short walk to train station and High Street.

Benjamin
We had a great time at this house sit. The pets are very nice and easy to care for. The house and neighborhood are wonderful and as first time visitors to Pittsburgh, we were surprised how easy it was to fall in love with this city. We hiked and biked in both the rural parks and the riverfront "trails." We found great eats and bars in both downtown and Carnegie. Ben and family were very hospitable and were easy to communicate with before and during the sit.

Jennifer was wonderful to sit for. Her two pets Maui and Kaedie are a breeze. Maui in particular is super super affectionate. They're also located in a safe neighborhood with a park and a grocery store just a few blocks away!

Hayley
We really enjoyed the Housesit at Hayley’s house. The communication was very easy and the pets super cute and easy going as well. 
Hayley also picked us up of the bus stop that we didn’t need to go for a 20 minute walk with our luggage. 
The bus is 8.40$ return and 50 minutes to cairns. 
She also told us that she didn’t had time to clean the house before what we could see. Sorry to mention it here but the first day we felt kind of uncomfortable and need to tidy up a bit. 
All in all we enjoyed the time and recommend the sit in Hayley’s house.

We spent 5 days in Tom and Sabine’s home. They welcomed us really warmly. It’s a really lovely couple and we had the chance to share meals and some marshmallow in the fire pit with them. A really great moment ! They took the time to explain us what Timber, the house and the garden needed. They write all these informations in a book, which is really useful. 

The house is 15 minutes far from Nanaimo, so it’s better to have a car. This is a really beautiful and spacious home ! Everything is very clean and well maintained. The yard is also very nice, and we enjoyed eating outside in this quiet place, with the view on the forest. Tom and Sabine’s home is just in front of the forest, so it’s really easy and nice to walk Timber twice a day. 

Timber is an absolute lovely dog and we will miss him so much ! He is really calm (barking sometimes when there are deers in the yard) and he spend most of his day lay close to you. After few days, he comes to us asking for cuddle, so cute ! He is really listening to you when you give him orders, which makes the walks really pleasant. During the walks, he uses to hide him beside trees, and you have to find him. So funny ! It’s an really easy going dog <3

During our stay we also had to watering the vegetable garden every two days. And it was nice to get some fresh fruits and vegetables in return. 

We really enjoyed our stay with Timber in Tom and Sabine’s home. We only can recommend you these lovely people and sweetheart dog !
