It was a pleasure to stay at Sarah's house and hang out with Tiki. Tiki is very easy going and introverted. Mostly hangs out by herself aside from the occasional brushing or if you engage her for some pets after she gets to know you.

Sarah is cool and responsive. Made me feel very welcome and relaxed in her large, centrally located home.

I did enjoy this sit in a comfortable family home in a quiet, leafy suburb.  Ollie was very easy to look after and in fact, slept most of the time. Rachel and her family were so welcoming and left clear instructions and plenty of food for Ollie. The house is only ten minutes walk from the train station for a 35 minute ride into the city. There are also some lovely walks through nature reserves not very far away.  I would happily look after Ollie again.

I enjoyed my stay with Luka very much, thank you Rob and Steve for the opportunity :) The lovely flat was well-equipped and fairly close to the bus station and all shops needed.

Fluffy and adorable Luka is such nice companion to have a relaxing week in Rawtenstall, staying with him for WFH days and cosy evenings watching TV with his purr and playing with him. I would welcome the opportunity to sit him again, and it would be a more pleasant experience next time with clearer communication and expectation on house consumptions - a good learn on TrustedHousesitters.

Tiara
Tiara was great to work with! She was easy to communicate with, always fairly quick with a response, and her instructions for the house, animals, and plants were clear! The dogs were lovely: Rhodes is a rambunctious little thing, super friendly, and incredibly playful! Calvin isn't big on loud noises or big movements near him or touching him without warning, but once he settles he's comfortable laying near you and he'll start playing more with Rhodes too!

I see it's all been said before by sitters for Pip and Tia but here goes as I feel I would love to comment on our stay. First, Susie and Steve were super people and had everything organized and so it was an easy sit to step into. We loved the location of the home, nestled into a hillside with lots of other beautiful homes that were all different and private due to mature growth of plantings. The home is filled with interesting art and is both elegant and welcoming. The front garden was beautiful and the back had a fabulous natural rock face stretching the entire back space and was planted with natural shrubs and strewn with yard art that could be viewed from the different house windows --   really fun. Deer ambled through and we had many birds to watch including hummingbirds that were fed by a backyard feeder outside the kitchen table.  It was very walkable to Fairhaven, which is  a sweet town with old charm character. We enjoyed discovering places to see and eat based on Susie and Steve's recommendations  -- so helpful. The reason we were there  --- Pip and Tia, they were such gorgeous cats and well behaved. They loved, especially Tia, playing with a toy that was a length of clear tubing with a stretchy cord that had feathers on the end and was weighted by two beads. I cannot tell you how much time both pusses, and I, spent with that toy  -- and it was great exercise for them. We definitely got our entertainment from watching their intense catch and release. They are pretty fast at catching it no matter how you try to outfox them! We got very attached to Pip and Tia and miss them. We know others will too!
