Aine came with her Mum to house and pet sit for us.  They were perfect Housesitters with great communication and lots of updates with pictures. The house was left immaculately clean and our dog very happy
Happy to recommend and would be delighted to welcome them back

Nat was an amazing pet and house sitter. There was clear, easy communication and Nat was extremely neat, organized, and took care of everything. Our house was in emmaculate condition upon our return! Not only were our kitties very happy, well cared for, but we were also very at ease knowing Nat was at our house. I would not hesitate to have Nat again!

Before Kaymaria messaged we had received lots of interest in our position, and I was already in contact with several different dog sitters. However, as soon as she messaged I knew we had found a match. Kaymaria was upbeat, enthusiastic and easy going, and it was a breeze to organise the details for the sit. She booked her flights without hesitation and kept in contact every step of the way.

And what can I say, my initial instincts were right - Kaymaria was the most fantastic dog sitter for our girl Alfie! We were, naturally, nervous to leave Alfie but the instant bond they had was strong, and it only continued to blossom. Kaymaria was keen to know about Alfie's routines, exercise habits, her personality, no detail was too small - she arrived a few days early so Alfie had time to get to know her before we left, which was very reassuring for us. Alfie was Kaymaria's number one priority whilst in Lima, and I know that her day was spent stimulating and exercising Alfie, and exploring the parks around the city together. 

Without a doubt, Alfie was more loved and spoilt than ever during the 3 weeks we were away (we were even a little worried that Alfie would forget all about us!). We were updated daily with messages, photos and videos, and Kaymaria did an excellent job at keeping up with established routines (such as doggy play dates in the park) and giving her lots of exercise and play, which she needed. Kaymaria even bought Alfie several new toys, which of course were not necessary, but really showed just how much she cared about her. I know that Alfie missed her when she left and every now and then she will pop her head into the spare bedroom, just to check if she is there.

Aside from Alfie, we also completely trusted Kaymaria in our apartment, and she took great care of the place. She took all the worry out of our trip, as we knew that not only was Alfie happy, safe and stimulated, but that our apartment was being looked after too. Because of this, we were able to really enjoy our 'once in a lifetime' trip around South America, and for that we will always be hugely grateful. 

We continue to remain in touch and I hope one day our paths will cross again. I couldn't recommend Kaymaria enough :)

Betty is a gentle senior terrier and I enjoyed looking after her.  She is always keen to go for walks no matter the weather !  She is a rescue who was not taught about too much barking when was young.  Barking can be reduced with the use of methods such as consistency in schedule, the sitter's calm approach, being careful not to reward barking by immediately giving her what she wants (food, walk) the minute she barks and giving her verbal praise and petting the times when she just barks once and then settles down.  She showed great improvement even over the course of the week.  The house is a charming 100 year old home in a perfect location surrounded by greenery.  As an older home, it has limited air conditioning.  There is no AC on the main floor, which is where Betty stays.  On the hottest days I took Betty to air-conditioned places, did many walks a day but short ones and always in the shade and on the hot nights I carried her upstairs (where usually she does not go) to the guest room, which has excellent air-conditioning !  As she is a senior, I softened her hard kibble with warm water, tried to keep her cool and had most of our walks before nightfall since her night vision is no longer perfect.

Naya was an angel. She is very sweet, gentle-natured, and secure. She never caused any trouble, except for crying a little because she missed her dad so much. Naya will bring you her toys to play with her... such a lovely pooch!

Zach was a pleasure to work with. He left great instructions and maintains a very nice house. The neighborhood is also very convenient. 11/10, would sit again.
