Rebecca is very sweet and incredibly considerate. We had a nice long zoom call before confirming the sit and she was easy to talk to. At the time I had two kitties and one was very ill. Rebecca asked thoughtful questions and had so much experience that my stress and anxiety were alleviated; I was grateful to have found her and felt completely comfortable entrusting my kitties and little piece of paradise to her. Unfortunately my Fizzy Fitzy's health deteriorated and he didn't make it. I let Rebecca know before the sit that it would be only one kitty and that he would be adjusting to the loss of his "brother" and companion and might need more care and attention. She was so kind and again, I felt like the universe had sent me the right person. Rebecca and I got a chance to meet as we overlapped by an hour or two on day one; I was so glad to be able to see her in person and give her a hug before I left. I returned after about 10 days to a calm kitty (which was amazing given that he'd just lost his lifelong companion) and an immaculate apartment. Rebecca even washed the sheets and made the bed which was so beyond helpful and appreciated after a tiring trip. Rebecca sent me a long message on the last day letting me know what had been done and showing a walk-through of the home (she's very thorough, which I love), so I knew what I was coming home to down to the fruit in the fridge. Seriously, the place was immaculate! I know you're journeying on Rebecca but I would love to have you sit anytime. Thank you!

After a quick hiccup in how to get in touch off of the site, Sibu was a great sitter!  She came to meet us and the animals before we left, provided regular updates and was very self sufficient (yet asked necessary questions).  The pets were happy, home was clean (BEST we've ever had a sitter leave it!) and even windows were locked.  We would be very happy to have Sibu return in the future.

Mickie was easy to communicate with and detailed about understanding care of Zula. The house was perfectly clean when we got home and Zula was happy and well cared for.

AWESOME!!! Fabulous and now part of the family. Julie and Tim took such fabulous care of my gentle giant Zeus. I honestly think he's still looking for them and misses them a lot.  I couldn't have asked for anyone kinder, more thoughtful and just all-round awesome to have in my home and with my "baby". We really can't wait for them to come back, hopefully sooner rather than later.  And I received many updates, funny just as I was thinking of saying Hi to them, here came an update complete with photos of my Zeus.  After just a couple days of being gone, I honestly never worried or even thought of home. Just enjoyed my trip. And my home was perfect when I returned. We were so sorry to see them leave.  We hope new friends for life.  Thank you so very very much for just everything.

This was an enjoyable sit with a sweet kitty who loves being outside. A few of my favorite things:
•	Walking around Spring Lake
•	Hanging out on the back deck, writing and drinking coffee at the big, beautiful wooden table
•	Use of Brenan and Juliet's parking pass to visit local state parks
•	Visiting Jack London State Park and touring the Beauty Ranch cottage where he and Charmian lived and wrote
•	Lush garden with fresh berries and tomatoes, yum!
•	Watching Alani prowl the backyard and sleep in the sun

Being a full time housesitter for nearly 3 years this was by far my favorite sit so far, it felt like being in paradise! 🙏 

Starting with the owners, which are now friends for life Amanda and John to Cleo the best behaved and sweetest cat ever! 

From the beginning on, they treated me like a family member and were more then generous towards me, you rarely meet such good people like this! 

The home itself is in a very safe gated community with the most amazing pool that I have ever seen! You don't even feel like being in Malaysia anymore, but a tropical holiday destination. 

All the big supermarkets, gym, hospital and everything else that you need is close by. 

I instantly fell in love with their cat named Cleo! She is the best behaved and sweetest cat I have ever met! She never raises her voice, loves to play at certain times, but then leaves you alone to yourself when she had enough. 

To take care of her is so easy, she gets a can of wet food in the morning and evening and in between some small snacks. 

She is the only cat that I have ever seen that is hypnotized by water and loves to get a good brush with the vacuum cleaner, so funny to see that.  😆

I can't thank them enough to have given me the opportunity to take care of cleo and their hole for them!
