My 9-day trip overseas was going to be the longest I had ever been away from my cat Lenny since I foster failed and adopted him 4 years ago. Lenny has a medical condition that can be aggravated by stress, and I was worried that my going away for this length of time could stress him out. So I wanted to make sure he was cared for my someone who prioritized him and wanted him to be comfortable. Jessica was the first sitter who applied after I posted the sit, and after some correspondence we had a video chat, with left me with a very good feeling about her. Many other sitters applied and I was in contact with several of them, but for a variety of reasons, Jessica felt like the best choice. I am so glad I chose her! She communicated with me regularly, in the way that I requested, with messages and photos so that I always knew how Lenny was doing. Part way through my trip we had a video call so I could check in with her and see Lenny live. It was very clear from the start that Lenny really liked and trusted Jessica and that he was getting a lot of love and attention. This gave me great peace of mind. I came back to a very neat and tidy home, left as I requested. And while Lenny was happy to see me, I knew that he was not ignored while I was away. I feel so fortunate that Jessica was my catsitter. She was reliable, communicative and organized and I will use her again whenever possible!

Debra was great! Everything I would hope for in a house sitter. We'd be happy to have her again!

Lea
Thank you to Lea and George for this wonderful trip, for their beautiful home and hospitality! It was a wonderful place with the sweetest lioness in the world, Ginger. She has such an amazing character - she is very independent, but loves to be around, and we slept in the same bed. She does not like to be petted, but she purrs loudly and sometimes expresses her pleasure. She is unique!

This was my very first sit and it was a fantastic experience!! Sherry and Jeff were very kind generous and communicative. They offered me anything from their fully stocked kitchen on top of asking me what I would like to have there for me. They even left me pamphlets and brochures from area eateries along with a little $ to order something. They have a beautiful home right on the water with gorgeous views from everywhere-the fire pit, the hammock,  the dock that you can fish from(they have equipment for you to use) off the large deck with different seating areas with a grill,, and even the little launching area for The kayaks (which they also offer you to use) . It was very calm and peaceful and I had daily visits from birds, Chipmunks, squirrels,  ducks and geese on or near the property. The bed was very comfortable and I got some of my best sleep because it gets very quiet and dark and peaceful at night especially after sitting listening to the waves lapping on the rocks before I go to  sleep and then waking up to wind chimes. 
     Now to talk about the kitties!! Simba and Rory were Angels! They took a little while to warm up to this stranger in their home. They would allow some pets and rub around my ankles but then disappear for a while. But after the first couple days when they realized I wasn't going anywhere they became my buddies following me around, playing,  and allowing some good pets, belly rubs and lap time. They loved looking out the various windows at all the wildlife. The only complaint that I had didn't have anything to do with the pet owners or the pets. The weather did not cooperate and I wasn't able to take advantage of all the wonderful amenities that were offered. I definitely would love to go back to be able to kayak on that beautiful private lake and maybe even learn how to fish. Whoever decides to do this sit will not be disappointed. Thank you Jeff, Sherry, Simba and Rory for allowing me into your amazing home.

Jorge has a beautiful home with two beautiful babies. Liberace is a sweet old man, and Lola is a bit more of a playful pup. The nearby pool and gym was a great added bonus. Jorge was great with communication, and went above and beyond to make my stay memorable. I recommend this sit highly!

This sit is right at the top of my list of favorites.  Dusty and June are so sweet, each with a very distinct personality.  I just loved watching them be themselves.  

Chris and Erika are truly wonderful people.  They have a beautiful home and a fabulous family.  I could have chatted with them for hours!  But they needed to go. 
 
The house was easy to find and close to groceries and gas.  I really enjoyed this sit and would love to do it again.  

Thanks Chris and Erika for selecting me to stay with Dusty and June!

Anne
I had so much fun with Molly, Roger, and Jake!! They are sweethearts, easy to care for, and very loving. Molly loves her walks, and is very busy smelling everything so it's not a fast walk but the neighborhood is so beautiful it was a delight to slow down with her! Roger slept with me every night and Jake made his appearances and was a doll. 
Anne and her family were wonderful and the girls gave a first class tour of the house and pets! I would not hesitate to sit for them again...I even got to pick raspberries from their garden and eat squashes too!! 
Ann Arbor is a fantastic college town and I recommend walking there...plus don't miss Bandemer park and U of M.
Thanks for the wonderful sit!! :)

Michiel and I had the honor of looking after Toulouse for about two weeks. And even though we have done quite some catsits - Toulouse might just be the most special cat we have ever looked after. We’re in love! First of all, he is absolutely gorgeous, super fluffy, very sweet, but also beyond smart. He impressed us daily with successfully completing his wide array of puzzles. Have you ever met a cat who speaks English? Toulouse can! With the help of a few buttons he can let you know if he wants to play, or go outside. He is living his best cat life is his comfortable apartment in Mountain View, lots of toys to choose from and beds for naps. He made us laugh loads, is just the sweetest and loves a good petting session. Have we mentioned the eyes? Oh my, those beautiful blue eyes!

We got the honor of meeting Brittany before she was leaving, where she explained everything about Toulouse and the house instructions very clearly. Communication was always easy through WhatsApp.

We loved staying here together with Toulouse. We were working most of the time, which the apartment is very suitable for. Our family is living nearby so luckily we were also able to spend time with them. Also downtown Mountain View is a nice place to visit, within walking distance. This really made us feel like home! So definitely would recommend.

We are curious to find out what other words Toulouse will learn in the future. Please keep us posted Brittany!
