Ornella & Sergio stayed at our place in Upper Manhattan for four weeks in August 2017. Everything went smoothly, from the initial contact and interview to the communication via WhatsApp before, during, and after their stay. We arrived to a happy and healthy cat - and an immaculate apartment. We joked that Ornella & Sergio brought their own towels, bedding, and kitchen equipment, because everything in the apartment looked completely pristine and untouched. Our cat is 13 years old and has been throwing up lately; Ornella communicated regularly on such issues and cleaned up with no complaints. (Thank you!) They participated in our apartment's composting system, which was appreciated. We never got the chance to meet in person, but there was never any glitch in the logistics. They are mature, respectful, and obviously experienced travelers with gracious tastes. Pet and house owners are lucky to have them as housesittlers. Bravo, Ornella & Sergio!
Vanessa and Roger did a wonderful job of looking after our five needy boys while we were away for a week. We have very social cats who require a lot of attenion (they will follow you around the house). We have one cat who needs a lot of special medical care and he was in good shape when we arrived home. All of the cats were relaxed when we got home, and we got regular updates on how they were doing while they were away. We arrived home to a sparkling clean house, and they were reliable and good houseguests. I would definitely recommend them as trustworthy pet sitters and house sitters.
