Brenda was amazing! 
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. 
One of our dogs was poorly whilst we were away. 
Brenda dealt with it perfectly, keeping me informed at every stage. 
She sent regular updates and photos and gave them lots of love and attention. 
We came back to a perfectly clean and tidy home. 
Thank you so much Brenda!

This was such a fun housesit! I did it with my partner so it was manageable. Cindy also has everything set up to run smoothly and was easy to get in touch with when I had questions. The chickens, dogs, and cat were all super friendly and easy to love.

Overall we had a really nice time in Portland, and Tara's place gave us a good location to get out and explore. Boots and Melon were very easy to take care of, and the instructions for home care were very clear. Thank you for having us!

Aurélie
Sitting for Aurélie and Maarten was a total pleasure from start to finish, Kimchi and Kitsune were the sweetest cats (shy to start but absolutely charming once the initial 'stranger barrier' was broken), and as for the locale, the area was really interesting with lots to explore in terms of cute walks and heritage nearby, I really enjoyed exploring but was also able to get to Central London easily and quickly. The apartment benefits from being near to the river and also the Syon House and gardens which allows for a hint of green space and peaceful oasis - Kew I believe is also nearby but I didn't get a chance to visit as time didn't allow.

I had hours of fun/cuddles with the kitts, and the sit was a pleasure as they were both very welcoming and made me feel comfortable in their home - the lounge is a sun trap which was just fantastic with the wintery weather setting in. There is also a lovely veranda with plants which in the summer would be the loveliest hangout , and also just being in Aurélie and Maarten's world is interesting as they have a vegan/eco worldview and also an eclectic and interesting interior decor which was lovely to be around for the duration of the sit.

Aurélie is a fab host, she got my some vegan chocolates which were so tasty, checked if I needed any particular groceries ahead of arrival which was really so lovely, and answered all of my queries & made sure I was getting on ok, and knew where everything in the area was located and let me know of key contacts in case of emergency. Such a fab and fun stay, you guys are at the heart of what is means to be a THS sitter/pet parent - wishing you all the best for future travels! To any future potential sitters - go for it, would 100% recommend! -Beth

Katie
Great experience - Katie is a kind and friendly host with a beautiful home and darling pets.  It was such a pleasure to be able to cuddle and care for the cats.  It's a pretty light workload since they go in and out the pet door at will (no litter pan)!  The home itself is clean and comfortable on a quiet, beautiful river-front location.  Very grateful for this assignment.

Olive
Staying at Olive's home was very comfortable and enjoyable.  Great location just a short bus ride into town plus walking distance to a small grocery store.  Great trails nearby for walking.  The 3 main cats were all very friendly.  Mitsey was such an effectionate little girl. Smokey and Bandit loved being brushed.  The outdoor cat, Bob, had loads of personality and was quite friendly as well.  The hens were such a joy to watch, curious and friendly.  The eggs were a bonus.  Communication with Olive was great before, during and after the sit.  The neighbours were very helpful.  We would recommend this sit and hope to come back one day.
