We had a wonderful time looking after Bobby in Philip and Nicky's lovely apartment. Philip and Nicky made us feel very welcome in their home and took a great deal of care to ensure we had all the information we needed to run the apartment. They also provided us with the details of local directions, sights, stores and transport links which enabled us to make the most of our stay. Bobby is a very sweet cat. Although he is shy, with a little bit of space he soon warmed to us and once he did he was really one of the most affectionate cats we've ever come across - we definitely missed his gentle head-bumps after we left. The apartment is in a great location in Whalley Range, a lovely suburb of Manchester. The city centre is easy to reach by bus and the neighbouring area of Chorlton is within walking distance. We loved our experience and would definitely housesit again in the future.
Sophie & Matt are great hosts - they made it easy to arrange all logistics and were readily available throughout my stay. They have a great bright & sunny spot in a perfect location. Yet the cherry on top is their star cat Gauss - he’s the best host, roommate, coworker, and play buddy. A real softie and chatterbox. It was hard to say goodbye.
It was a pleasure to look after White Fang for Constance. I was given clear instructions, and thankful for the opportunity to meet before the sit. The instructions were clear and concise. Having a copy sent to me before the sit as well as conveniently posted in the suite was appreciated. White Fang is an adorable and relaxed feline. He’s super affectionate, an absolute pleasure to spend time with and a perfect companion. The condo is beautiful and I loved the view. In particular the sun rise in the morning. Constance made sure I had delicious coffee and a few treats during my stay. I appreciated the consideration. The neighbourhood has all the conveniences within walking distance. A friendly neighbourhood with many of the neighbours greeting White Fang. If the possibility and my schedule allows I would care for him again with pleasure. A most enjoyable sit. Thank you for the opportunity, Constance.
Noreen is an amazing hostess! So full of verve and life and information. Hatshe is a wonderful, sweet, love bunny of a cat and Ballydehob is a darling village. I loved my time there and my new friends. It's pretty easy to get many places by bus, but to see the real wonders, you need to be willing to drive. The house and gardens are cozy and lovely, the neighborhood lively and the people are very friendly and welcoming. I felt at home right away. Noreen and her husband drove me around to see some lovely places, took me to a pub to hear music and answered all of my millions of questions. Brilliant and lovely experience and I hope to be back someday and to stay lifelong friends.
I had a lovely stay in Therese’s charming home. I was very comfortable and appreciated the lovely bedroom and equipped kitchen. Parking was extremely easy right in front of the house and the neighborhood is close to whatever you might need.Benny Bean is a warm and interactive cat, who is very communicative and friendly. It was easy to enjoy BBs company and attend to his needs.  I would happily stay with Benny Bean again.
