Ben & Elli are an amazing couple, they made me feel at home since the first contact :) They are very nice and kind, explained all the instructions precisely with patience and were very prompt while they were away. Lucy and Oskar are the most lovely cats ever! I had zero problems and zero concerns while taking care of them. They are very well-behaved and so cuddly and fluffy, best cats ever! It was one of my first pet-sitting experience through this application and it was excellent, I would definitely pet-sit Oskar and Lucy again I highly recommend Ben & Elli without reservations :)
Mandy and Keith were wonderful hosts and invited us to stay two nights before they left to get to know their two wonderful dogs. We enjoyed our visits with them and the helpful suggestions they provided for our trip to New Zealand. They have a beautiful house as well and made us feel welcome in it. The two dogs, Lili and Lace were delightful pets. Lili is an older dog who was mostly content to sleep on her pillow or curled up next to us on the sofa. Lace on the other hand is an energetic ball of fur who loved her morning walks with us and still had plenty of energy to play ball in the backyard whenever we would agree. The backyard was beautiful as well and we spent several afternoons on the patio enjoying the sun and the dogs. They were easy to care for and always rewarded us with happy tail wags when we were together. They required no special care other than being fed morning and night, a walk with Lace and a pill or two daily for Lili which she accepted without fuss. In summary, we completely enjoyed our time with the hosts, time in their gorgeous home, and the 7 days we shared with the dogs. We can recommend this housesit with no reservations and would do it again if we could.
I loved house sitting for Roseanne and looking after sweet Louie and Molly. The hot tub was an added bonus! :)
Otis was a funny, sweet little cat and I enjoyed his companionship for this sit. Patty was a communicative host and has a clean, well-located condo close to the ME/NH line, providing access to the best of both states.
What an absolute pleasure it was to house and pet sit for Jo and Chris. On arrival we were welcomed into a beautiful, warm, comfortable and idyllic home which resembled somewhere rural in the south of France by Truffle, at 11 years and having just undergone surgery, she seemed to know we were coming and very happy to meet us. Inca at 5 months, was the next to welcome us with a wiggly bum and a puppy charm that made her adorable to us and everyone she met, she just loved everyone and especially children. Jo and Chris were next to make us feel super welcome and had gone to the trouble of making us a lovely lunch, which Dave devoured in no time! We had a very comprehensive handover and were reassured that nothing was too small to check out with them, which is always comforting. Jo and Chris kindly agreed our close friends could visit us and so we enjoyed lots of time together with our new doggy and cat family, checking out where to go to ensure Inca, in particular, had the opportunity to socialise, but the highlight for me was spending time training her, as she was such a quick learner. We had coffee with our friends shortly after returning home and we all chuckled, as they reckoned they could now 'sit, stand, heel, come front, come middle, run, wait and lay down' on command, just as well as Inca could.... !! Twiglet their lovable black and white cat gave an appearance each evening, just as I was about to lay on the settee to watch TV...as soon as I popped the blanket on my legs she was there like a flash! Dave and I tend to find natural roles, he is definitely the chicken, goat, goose and garden guy and I am the house, doggy and training gal and it works great for us. We absolutely loved every minute of it and more and would have no hesitation returning and no hesitation in recommending this fantastic house sit. Thanks Jo and Chris for sharing your lovely home and pets and hope to see you all soon. Kaye and Dave
I had so much fun with Buddy and Sadie and the house was absolutely stunning! Nathalie left me great instructions and left treats at the door when I arrived to give to the pups for a warm intro. The dogs took to me instantly and were incredibly cuddly - so make sure you are ready to be cuddled a lot! Even though they were older I had no issues getting them to eat and feel comfortable, you just need to put in the time :) highly recommend this stay!
