Emily was with our pets Jimmy the cat and Carola, our dog for a 2 month stay while we were away in Spain. She was wonderful with them and they were well cared for and happy when we returned. Emily fell ill her first week sitting but we were able to send Carola to a local dog-walker/sitter for a few days while she rested and recuperated from a very bad flu. Jimmy stayed home and kept her company. Cats are easier to care for even when sick. The house was in order also with the aid of our housekeeper who helped out and knows exactly how and where things are kept and organized. Not speaking Italian may have been somewhat of an issue when problems arose but we have very helpful neighbors, hence the 4 star for self-sufficiency due to the language barrier. I'm certain she's perfectly self sufficient in English speaking situations. We did have an electrical problem when a fuse unexpectedly blew and a heating issue, both resolved within 24 hours or less. Unfortunately Emily was without heat during that time and we suggested she use the small space heater until the problem could be resolved. Always good to have emergency back-ups in place. I was able to reset the date/time for heating system with Emily by phone using whatsapp. We regularly received photos of her walks and park runs with Carola. Also photos of Jimmy snugggling up to her. The pets were obviously content during our absence and spoiled with brushings, treats and lots of love. Emily kindly bought us some breakfast foods when we returned which was very considerate. Emily is a reliable and attentive sitter. Your pets are in good hands with her!

Mia and Anthony were amazing sitters. I could not recommend them enough. They took care of our Smittens as if he was their own. They also provided me with numerous updates a day and made me feel very at ease. Smittens takes a while to warm up to new people but I could tell he had the absolute best time with Mia and Anthony. They also left the house very clean. We will certainly have Mia and Anthony stay with Smittens again!

We would give Robin and Eric 5++ stars if we could. They are organized, self-sufficient, honest, respectful, thoughtful and fantastic with dogs. They checked in a week before the stay and kept in great touch, sending notes and photos through the stay. The house was beautifully clean and our dogs content and calm when we returned. Our handoff with them was seamless and it was a pleasure having them in our home. We would have them back any time! We highly recommend them for your sit.

You don’t need to look anywhere else! We truly cannot say enough good things about Andre and Mayra. They were the PERFECT sitters for Mocha. He was happy and healthy when we came home. They are a lovely couple. We felt comfortable with them right away. 

Andre and Mayra came out the week before our sit to meet Mocha and learn about his routine, the house and garden. Mocha is a Chihuahua and they are notoriously feisty and territorial. He didn’t even bark at them! He went right up to both of them. They are truly dog whisperers. They took him for walks every day and spent a lot of time with him. They send pictures every day.

Andre And Mayra kept us up-to-date on what was going on with the house. There were a couple of problems, it’s an old house, and they notified us promptly.  They are very reliable and resourceful. I didn’t worry about a thing while we were gone. I could tell that they could handle anything that came up. 

The house was cleaner than we left it. Not only did they wash the sheets, they washed the comforter as well and remade the bed. Andre and Mayra are very thoughtful. They left us a delicious soup for dinner!   They also restocked the refrigerator with fresh milk, bread and eggs. They went above and beyond! 

Andre and Mayra are very experienced sitters and we would not hesitate to use them again. In fact, we asked them for a second sit but they already had plans.  We highly recommend them. You will be fortunate if you can have them for your sit.
