Maga
Staying at Maga’s and Gonzalo's apartment was an absolute delight! Tina, a cutie of a cat, is initially shy but as soon as she opens up she shows her playful and funny personality. Caring for her was a breeze. The hosts were super friendly, welcoming and easy to communicate with, making the stay comfortable and stress-free. The apartment itself is spacious, cozy, and fully equipped with everything one needs for a wonderful stay. Berlin’s suburb “Köpenick“ is fantastic, offering a blend of parks, outdoor activities, restaurants, and shops within walking distance. It was a wonderful experience over Christmas and New Year's!

Claire
We thoroughly enjoyed sitting Ollie, Ashlie (cats) and Sandy (dog). Claire gave us an excellent handover with detailed notes regarding feeding, walking and medication. Sandy being a Maremma was a little reserved with us on the first day but by day two was happy to be in our company and go for walks. 
Buderim, set on a hill with lots of surrounding tropical forests, was a great location with plenty of walks in the rainforest and parks. The village/town is well equipped with supermarket, shops and cafes. We loved this area. 
We enjoyed the view of the surrounding rainforest from the upstairs verandah - a great place for a leisurely breakfast. We also appreciated the very comfortable bed.

Sonya
My husband and I absolutely LOVED sitting for Stevie and would do so again in a heartbeat.  Sonya & Aaron were so so so welcoming.  They allowed us to spend the day at their house before they left for their late-night flight.  They took us to the grocery store.  They even allowed us to use their address so that we could buy a car for our year in Australia.  They are such lovely people with a beautiful home and a very very very sweet dog.  Thank you, Sonya & Aaron!

Kathryn
We really enjoyed sitting Rory at Kathryn‘s home. 

Rory is really well behaved for being a 6 month old puppy. She is super easy to take care of since she likes everybody, people same as dogs! 🐾 She has a lot of energy and loved playing in the near by dog park with other dogs. After showering her when she was muddy after a walk she took an extended nap on our lab which was just way too adorable. She is smart and loved to play with us!🤩

Kathryn is really awesome. The first time we met her in person she welcomed us into her home and explained everything in detail. We always stayed in touch during the sit and the communication was super easy. 😊

Her apartment is really well suited for one, maybe two people for a short sit. Literally right next to the building there is a huge park which makes it easy to take Rory for walks. 🦮 Also the dog park is walkable and Rory had a blast both times when we went there. 

We absolutely can recommend Kathryn and Rory to other sitters, you will definitely love it. 🥰

Jos and Yannick
We really enjoyed our Easter weekend with Gateau in Gorinchem. Jos met us at the train station and gave us a quick tour of the town center en route to his lovely home ? All the information we required to provide a good experience for all of us was great!  The home is well equipped and Gateau is both independent and playful! We would housesit here again!

Great stay in Portishead. Will and Amanda kindly picked me up and took me back to Bristol station. Very comfortable house .Wonderful location few minutes walk to the marina and estuary. Good walks with sweet Patch , who was also very happy to go on the bus to Bristol, Bath and Clevedon. Patch was good company and lovely temperament and well behaved.
