When I first saw Dottie’s profile she sounded like a dream. Her profile was saturated with zen, full of a life of children + animals, public service/volunteer work + she was a traveler/explorer of the world with her career. With all of those she was a quick vet! I couldn't help but think what a *interesting* woman - I must speak with her! After speaking to her, I felt so assured she could handle anything + her presence was calming, warm, saturated in gratitude + peacefulness (which is something I try to aspire to in the theme of my apartment). When she said she connected with my apartment (my patio, etc) + I knew it would be a great match! We started communicating before my trip + she was sending lovely messages, meditations, thoughtful passages + sayings which I LOVED. She even sent a sweet thoughtful card (as my mom had just passed) - kinder than most people I know! I had to push back my trip start date + asked if she wanted to stay with me but she instead was very accommodating + made alternate arrangements + came by the day I was leaving. She sent pictures of the kitties daily + when there was a hail storm she rescued my Nutella, girl cat, from the patio. She was scared + Dottie brought her back in. Any little thing I asked she was great with. I loaded her with a lot of information at the get go + about packages coming in + she was very easy going about it all. We bonded early on over shared life experiences, similar paths we are both on in this last year so when I saw the gifts she left me upon her departing it brightened my day oh so much! We both love art + in her gifts she left some things I can use in my future art which was oh so thoughtful! She also left sweet notes (she is SO good at this!) + a custom gift that was oh so perfectly in tune with my life path now. She also left snacks + a few things I am now using (since I arrived to a fridge with not much). After the toughest year of my life (my mom’s recent passing) these sweet, caring gestures go so far for me. Really. Dottie’s presence is a gift in itself. She cares for all things, people, animals, homes + respects everything! Her kindness is boundless + her thoughtfulness even more so. P.S. I arrived at a super clean home, one where I did not need to do a THING. God bless this woman! I only wish she was local + we could have her more often. Dottie, you were such a blessing to us! Love you! Love, Kim, Max + Nutella

Juliet & Laurent were wonderful with our home, while taking gentle loving care of our dog and cat. They communicated ahead of our trip, sent pictures of our pets during the trip and stayed for an extra day after our return flight was delayed. They left the house spotless and we found a delicious home cooked meal waiting for us in the fridge after an exhausting travel!!! It made our trip so much more enjoyable and relaxed knowing that Juliet and Laurent are with our pets and taking care of the house during the epic flood. We could not have asked for a better experience! We will definitely be reaching out to them when we travel again in the future! Thank you so much Juliet and Laurent!

 Lovely pets. They are independent and intelligent.

Anna
We had a wonderful stay (our fist house&pet sit abroad) at Anna's place! 
From the very beginning we felt right at home. Anna greeted us with open arms and a sweet little gift. Anna took great care to prepare everything for us, providing helpful tips about the area around. One of the highlights was Anna's bike, which she kindly let us use for our trips to the city.  

Dalí is exceptionally well-behaved and loves to cuddle, especially during the evenings where she would snuggle up with us :) Every time we returned, she was already at the door waiting for us.

Thank you, Anna, for such a fantastic experience!

Gill
We thoroughly appreciated the opportunity to housesit for Gill and look after her delightful Schnauzers, Billy and Meg.  Gill’s home is very comfortable, in a great location with easy and regular transport to the City. Gill was ultra organised and ensured we had as much information as required. We absolutely fell in love with Billy and Meg - they are friendly and fun and always up for a cuddle and a walk! We hope to have an opportunity to housesit for Gill again.

Erin
We had the pleasure of housesitting for Tim and Erin in Zagreb, and we have nothing but positive things to say about our experience. They were both extremely friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Communication with them was clear and easy, and they even provided us with some great recommendations for things to see and do in the area.

Their flat was spacious and comfortable, with all the amenities we needed to feel comfortable during our stay. But the real highlight of our time there was getting to spend time with their two adorable cats, Jerry and Peanut. Despite having different personalities, both cats were incredibly gentle and affectionate, and we loved getting to care for them while Tim and Erin were away.

Unfortunately, Peanut was going through a bit of an allergy spell during our stay and had to wear a cone. But he was such a patient little guy and allowed us to take care of him without any issues. Overall, we had an amazing time housesitting for Tim and Erin, and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great housesitting experience in Zagreb

We had a great time sitting at Auriel's place and would totally recommend it.

Communication was great before, during, and after their trip. They were quick to make a decision on us sitting, and then were proactive throughout in sorting out logistics, timings, etc. The handover was easy and they were great to talk to. Once they were away we checked in 2 or 3 times and other than that they left us to it.

The house itself is lovely. It was super-clean and tidy when we arrived, and has everything we needed for a 10 day stay. The location is perfect, seconds from both the shops and Hampstead Heath, but very quiet with minimal external noise. Private, free parking at the back of the house. And it's a short tube ride into central London.

The highlight of the stay though was the dogs, Bruno and Bagel. They are completely loveable and want just the right amount of attention. They both enjoyed walking round the heath each morning, and for the rest of the day split between entertaining themselves and playtime with us. The noises they make when getting a tummy rub are both hilarious and adorable. They're great company and some of our favourite dogs that we've sat for.

All in all it was a happy, relaxing stay and we'd happily sit for them again.

Deidre
Deidre and Ryan have amazing energy, communication, and cats! Ama, Cima, and Yoyo are adorable-each have their own distinct personality and are easy-going and loving animals. Communication with Deidre and Ryan was very prompt, and their encouragement to ask questions and reach out is super helpful. Their apartment is gorgeous and in my favorite neighborhood in Brooklyn. Anyone who sits for them will definitely enjoy their experience!
