Paula is a lovely lady to know and we are happy to have had her for our vakation this summer. She really did an exellent work, both with our cat family, and also in or quite wild "sortofgarden". Paula and I did our first whatsapp - deciding chat and after that we had an open channel for further questions updates andshort videos/pics until the startday. Paula made secure to be here in time by coming to Stockholm the day before arriving here. She is very well organized so we immediatley felt that we could be perfectly safe with her taking care of our gang. Our 3 cats are quite different personalities and also sometimes can be not so easy to please if they don't just get things in their (3 different) way. Nevertheless when they accepts the new person, they quickly adopt a new carer, and I think all the 3 of them accepted Paula almost directly. Maybe it was helpful that Paula brougt each of them a lovely catnip toy gift, wich indeed still seems to be one of the favourites. Paulas professional caring eye alerted us about our oldest cat who seemed very thirsty and drunk a lot of water for a period. At the time it was very hot here, so we decided just to observe her for a few days. Drinking often is just normal for our eldest, so luckily nothing was wrong with her this time. Also she provided our oldie special care for food. A "please-do not disturbe when eating time" because our youngest can be quite irritating and disturbing the others when try to eat. The work of a professional cat sitter. When Paula left the house was top cleaned, bedlinings in the washer and everything just as we left it. Also our sort of garden with many flowering pots were just lovely, wich made us understand Paula also is an exellent gardener. We certanlay would love to have Paula back again and she has our best rekommendations. We surely hope to welcome her back whenever she has the opportunity. Thank you Paula and best wishes from us Ylva and Burt

I truly enjoyed sitting for Kathy and Vick, with their two kitties: Munchkin and Fancy.  They have a really nice home on a lake in Falls Church, with incredible sunrise views.  Their kitchen was heaven - I really miss gas stoves and theirs was awesome!  I loved playing w/ Fancy and Munchkin - and they slept w me every night!  I would go back to their house in a heart beat - great restaurants, shopping and access to Metro (especially nice for a DC worker like me) make this one awesome housesit.  Kathy and Vick are wonderful hosts, and I hope they invite me back....

We had a great time sitting for Angela and Dan. Their condo was beautiful, spacious, and in a great city location with so much to see and do. Communication was easy and helpful from start to finish. Their two cats, Marshall and Pepper were sweet, entertaining and easy to care for. We will miss both of them so much. We highly recommend this sit and appreciated the opportunity to enjoy one of the best neighborhoods in the city and to meet such a nice couple.
Thanks, Angela and Dan!

It was an absolute joy looking after Oreo and Misha.
They are both well behaved and very cuddly dogs which was a real treat when we are both missing our dog in the UK. 

The house was also a pleasure to stay in. It is modern with great amenities and a very comfy family sized bed, with plenty of space for us and the dogs. If you are a big dog lover this is for you as they were keen to snuggle 24 hours a day.

Joe and Denise will make sure you have everything you need for your sit and were very communicative through out.

Although it is a bit far from central Calgary we enjoyed the parks nearby, along with local bars and shops and buses into the city were accessible. 

We would definitely recommend.

Our stay at Michelle's place looking after Sophie was great. Prior to our stay we had a short video call and fantastic communication with Michelle. She provided us with a binder full of information, not only about Sophie and her home but with maps and brochures of what to do in Barrie and the surrounding area. Sophie, who is usually scared of men, warmed up to Philipp right away and was a pleasure to care for right from the start. She was calm and sweet throughout our stay. Thanks for a wonderful first housesitting experience Michelle and Sophie!

This what my first sit through THS and what a wonderful experience it was. 

Trish and her family were very welcoming and great hosts. 

Banjo is a proper character who in just 6 days I got so attached to. He loves his walks and some play time during the day as you'd expect from a 2-year-old labrador. I was surprisingly sad to say goodbye to him when the sit came to an end. 

The area is absolutely gorgeous with some stunning walks and scenery. 

The home is very spacious and has all the mod cons you could ever need. I even got to light my first-ever fire in a genuine fireplace. 

I hope to be able to sit for Trish and her family again in the future should our dates coincide.

What a lovely family and a comfortable home! The cats are sweet and easy to care for. It took a couple of days for them to come to us for attention and playtime. They like to be brushed and to play with the laser. We wouldn't hesitate to house sit here again.
