Mary and Jim
This was our 9th sit with THS and it has by far been our favorite! Mary and Jim made the three of us feel welcomed from beginning to end. They made us dinner and introduced us to some of their neighbors. Needless to say, we felt well taken care of. They were extremely generous and we had great communication throughout our stay. 

Best of all we got to care for two of the most well trained and sweetest boys ever! Fergus and Dougal were such a delight. They have such different personalities and were so much fun to be around. They get along great with other animals and love people. All they really want is love, attention and for you to sit and cuddle with them. Dougal’s morning grins and Fergus’s laid back nature made it so hard to leave we are really going to miss them. 

Mary and Jim have such a beautiful property  with amazing views all around. They are in such a great location, close to many restaurants and tons of hiking trails along the road and property! We arrived just in time to see the beautiful foliage and would love to experience another season in NH. We would to sit for Mary and Jim anytime!

Leslie
I absolutely loved cat/house sitting for Leslie. Taking care of her three cats was really simple, and given that they're indoor/outdoor, only one of them (Parker) hung out inside often, but it was so nice having his company! He's energetic, and affectionate, and will follow you around. The house and location are perfect. Sitting on the balcony, you can see the ocean, the fireplace and living room are super cozy, the beach and lots of great places to eat are within walking distance, and the neighborhood is so peaceful! Leslie even had a professional house cleaner come right before I arrived, so everything was spotless. Leslie was great at communicating and so hospitable and generous as well. I was able to work from home, and relax the rest of the time. :) I would definitely come again.

Marie
We had a wonderful time with Roxy in Marbella.  Marie and Patrick were very gracious hosts.  We had a very nice dinner with them the night before they left.  Roxy was a bit timid to start but soon came round.  We had our own bedroom and bathroom in their gorgeous apartment.  The terrace was the nicest I have seen.  It was huge with plenty of seating and sun beds.  Roxy loved the terrace, spending time hiding  in the plants or just luxuriating on a comfy chair.  There are lots of nice places to visit and a car would certainly be a bonus as it is quite hilly and very few pavements.

What an amazing and unique experience to be able to stay in an 18th century hunting lodge in the middle of the Scottish Highlands wilderness with two precious dogs to explore the area with.  My wife and I spent 12 nights at Bruar Lodge with Eddie and Bertie.  For the first 5 days we didn’t leave.  There are high mountains, beautiful waterfalls and endless heather and bogs all around the lodge and you have them almost all to yourself.

Eddie and Bertie are sweethearts.  They are very low maintenance and just fun to be around.  We miss them already.

The lodge is very comfortable and has everything you could need except delivery pizza, restaurants and shopping -  if having these things is important to you this probably isn’t a fit for you.  If on the other you like hiking, nature and sweet dogs Kate’s home would be hard to beat.

We enjoyed looking after Keesha and Nuqi. They are beautiful and gentle cats, a little shy at first but absolutely adorable.
For us, the location was perfect, near to family in Fareham and it is so peaceful and quiet, we loved it there. The house is well set up for the cats with cat gyms and a catio, the cats seemed to really enjoy them. 
Overall, a very enjoyable stay, thanks so much for hosting us!

I can totally recommend to sit Tammy. Laurence and Charles were great, very welcoming, attentive and generous hosts, the big apartment was amazing, very clean, with everything you would need, plus wonderful  pool and gym and a lady cooking great and affordable Thai food right in front of the cindo gates. There is also 7-11 close by and delicious real Thai street food around the corner.  Oh and massage place close by recommend by Charles was perfect too.
Beautiful majestic Tammy is very independent, comes mainly just for food, so there was realy not much work neede for her.
