Joseph took care of our cat and house-sat for us for 2 weeks. In advance of our trip, we were able to do both a virtual and in-person meet and greet to ensure everyone felt comfortable and do a walk through of the house, which we really appreciated.While we were away, Joseph responded quickly to texts/any questions we sent and provided photo and text updates every 1-2 days. Upon our return, our cat seemed happy. Unfortunately, the day of our return, Joseph accidentally locked himself out of our house. He communicated with us and we were able to provide him access to a backup key. However, when we returned home about an hour and a quarter later, we were surprised to find that he was still there (he was supposed to have left much earlier in the day before we arrived home, and we knew he was running a little behind because of the lockout, but he didn’t tell us he would still be there when we walked in). He texted us that the house was clean and ready for us, but unfortunately the house was not clean and the cat litter boxes were quite smelly and appeared not to have been changed or scooped in many days. While we realize that getting locked out of the house created some delays in getting packed and tidying the house, we were upset to find the kitty litter in that state and for the clear disorganization, at least in the final day. We provided this feedback directly to Joseph and hope that this was a one-time experience. However, we would urge clear communication around any expectations for cleaning, communication, and care.

Alexandra
I had a wonderful experience pet-sitting for Alexandra and Adam. They were both very helpful in making sure I knew not only everything I needed to know about their pets and home- but also information on Nimes and surrounding areas. Macey and Seeka are incredibly sweet - we had nice walks in the day and cozy evenings by the fire. I would fully recommend this sit.

Millie and Mocha were the cutest pair of Pugs! Quiet and well behaved, Millie, the older of the two at 5.5 years, is the "Queen Bee." She knows the rules of the house and follows them. Mocha, her younger sister at just over a year, is still learning the ropes. Like human siblings, Millie and Mocha have their quarrels but make up quickly.

Becky, the homeowner, provided fabulously detailed information about the dogs, their personalities, their care and routines. She also provided written details about the house and surrounding area. Based on her information, I found a lovely trail for a beautiful afternoon hike.

Thanks Becky for letting me sit with your two cute, cuddly pups. It was fun.

We had a delightful time looking after Nico and also Trish’s lovely home and garden.

Nico was friendly and sweet from the moment we arrived, and would follow us around and settle down wherever we were :) Nico was easy to look after and we loved hanging out with her, especially in the garden or when watching tv in the evening.

Trish’s home has everything we needed and she kindly made sure we had space to put our things, and made us feel very at home. 

We particularly enjoyed having Chorlton Water Park so close by, which meant we could wander around and explore it each day. We enjoyed the food from the Himalayan Kitchen in the park. 

We’d love to look after Nico again if we get the chance :)

Robert
We had a wonderful housesit with Champ in the Pacific Northwest.  Rob was very communicative prior to our arrival, making the housesit and caring for Champ extremely comfortable and easy. We have two children and Rob went out of his way to inform us of things to do with the kids in the area and had great suggestions.  Rob and his family were extremely kind and understanding of our children and our kiddos had an amazing time. They live in a beautiful Craftsman home in lovely neighborhood with many mature trees and gardens so we throughly enjoyed our daily walks with Champ. In addition, there was a park/playground nearby for the kids and Champ to run and play. Champ was one of the sweetest, laid back dogs we’ve ever met and he was excellent with our kiddos. We miss him! We had a really great experience and would love to house sit for Rob and his family again in the future!

I had a special time with Fred - I miss him already! Clarissa welcomed me into her home - our communication was relaxed and open, and I appreciated the touches she made to help to make my stay homely and comfortable. Fred is a sweetheart! He's playful, chilled and a joy to be around. I hope to keep in touch and wouldn't hesitate to sit again. Thank you Clarissa!

Sally
A most enjoyable pet sit. Labradors Mabel and Lily are very affectionate, have a lovely nature, and want to be with you. Lily loves to chase a ball in the large garden whereas Mabel is less energetic. Ivy is an independent cat but is also affectionate. Looking after them was a pleasure. Sally was very welcoming and kindly cooked a dinner for us the first evening. There was good communication before and during the sit and we were made to feel at home. The house is spacious and comfortable and has everything you need and with lovely pets and much to see in the area this pet sit has everything and is recommended.
