When Jackie rang the doorbell, both of The Girls ran to the door to give her a warm welcome and immediately took to her as she entered. Once she made it past the initial love and affection offensive offered up to all new arrivals, she was able to sit down on the couch to chat with us, and then they both jumped up by her side! Roxy wasn’t content to just snuggle up next to her like her sister did, but instead rolled over onto her back and put her head in Jackie’s lap, gazing up into her eyes like a lovestruck teenager. It was clear both of them were intensely and immediately comfortable with her, a good sign since in our experience, our doggos are a fabulous judge of character. While all was clearly going great with the dogs, we assured her it was normal if she didn’t see the cats right away; they would probably come out within a day or two. However, before we even boarded the plane, we received a cute photo of Nimbus poking his head out from around the couch with a curious look and the caption, “Look who joined the party.” Followed shortly after by a photo of Limerick saying, “And the gang’s all here!” Parker and I looked at each other and exchanged a knowing look and small sigh of relief: Jackie was *definitely* the perfect choice to watch over our furry family, and we would have no reason to waste time thinking about what was happening at home! While we were away, she consistently kept us posted on our pets antics by sending adorable photos of everyone throughout, allowing us to check in when we had Wi-Fi. Due to weather delays for our later flight, we opted to catch an earlier flight home the last day. Even though we arrived home hours earlier than expected, the place was already spotless, the bed had been remade, the towels were in the dryer, and there, on the kitchen counter, were freshly picked wildflowers in a vase that she admitted, “The Girls helped her pick out.” We could tell by the way they all related to her, the entire family had been well loved while we were away. It was also obvious they’d had quite an effect on her too, as she was clearly sad to leave them behind, saying how much she would miss them and even offering to be their guardian if anything were to ever happen to us, as we don’t have any family who could take them. Not only is Jackie an amazing sitter, she is a kind, generous, loving, warm and genuinely good human being, one who not only loves animals, but is easy to talk to and fun company to have around. Had we not had a flight to catch that first night, Parker and I could have just as easily chosen to go out to dinner or spent the rest of the evening in engaging conversation with her. If you get an application from Jackie to watch over your pets and home, don’t hesitate. Just hit accept and know that your pets will thank you for it! The next time we head out of town, we will absolutely be hitting her up first to see if she’s available, long before we post our next sit publicly.

Lucas
I loved my time looking after Salma. Lucas has a lovely home and I felt comfortable immediately. I absolutely loved looking after Salam too. She’s a gorgeous dog so friendly at at ease all the time. If you’re not from Bristol I’d also recommend this location as there are lots of amazing cheap food options - really spoiled for choice! Highly recommend and hope to return!

Disfruté mucho cuidar a Pumba. Él es un perro hermoso y muy fácil de cuidar. Caminamos mucho juntos por la ciudad. El apartamento es luminoso y lujoso. Santi y Martin son buena gente con muy buena comunicación y son súper agradables. Gracias por todo. Me gustaría volver. Cinco estrellas seguro!

Cat
Lovely short stay with Jax the dog who I enjoyed getting to know. He can get anxious but is easily calmed down by covering him with a blanket and reassuring him.  He had some reactive moments but overall he was very friendly and listens to commands well, and is fun to play with! Cat was a wonderful host and promptly answered my questions which is always appreciated. There is a walking trail/hill conveniently located right behind the house for walks and is a nice little workout. Cat’s home is very comfortable (best shower I’ve ever used!) and combined with her easygoing nature and lovable Jax this is a winning sit.

Amber
I had so much fun sitting for Amber. We met in person a few days before the sit so that I could meet her and the dogs. We had a great visit, Molly and Lola were so loving right from the start. Amber's place is in a great neighborhood, close to everything I needed during the assignment. Amber has been awesome and very accommodating throughout the whole experience. We have had a lot of fun getting to know each other.

Anne-Marie
We had the best time in Cyprus with this fluffy family! They are all rescuedes and absolutely the cutest and most lovely pets in the world. They are all well behaved and so chill that you wouldn't tell that there are 17 animals in the house. The communication with Anne-Marie was super easy. We arrived two days before she traveled so she could show us her routine with all the animals, that made everything easier.

Russell and Christine
It was an absolute treat to look after Toff and Dobbie. 
They can be little shy at first but it was very sweet to see them warming up to us day by day. 
They are very relaxed and enjoys a quiet company over active plays. 
In overall, they are well behaving boys that requires very little maintenance. 
The house have unbelievably picturesque view of the water and there are many lovely trails nearby which was another delight of having to stay in their beautiful home!
The house is well equipped, and Christine will help you feel right at home. The communication was excellent and we really appreciated their warm hospitality.
