Katie came to look after our house and Labrador Strudel for a week, while we were on holiday. She kindly came to meet us the week before to see the house and accustom herself to the routine. This was really helpful and reassuring for us before we left. She was very forthcoming with her questions and we could see that she would be a very efficient and caring housesitter. We did have some messaging through the week while away, mainly for some things that cropped up and that she kindly dealt with. She also kept us updated now and again about how Strudel was, who was clearly having a lovely time with her and her son Harry. We felt totally at ease throughout our holiday, and had no qualms about leaving our rather cautious and sensitive dog with her. We returned to a very clean kitchen and tidy house, plants watered and a very calm and contented dog- a lovely welcome in the early hours after a delayed flight! We are extremely grateful to Katie for her care and can recommend her as a housesitter to other members.
Sadie was absolutely amazing! She was very communicative in advance of the stay and sent me pics of my dog in the woods happy as can be! She rolled with the punches like a champ, so we had a random fire test while she was staying and managed to figure that situation out. I was trying to negotiate getting a free bike while I was away, and she picked up the bike for me. The garbage disposal switch stopped working, and she rolled with it. She also did a hand-off for the second sitter and coordinated with her. Sadie definitely won the affection of my dog pretty quickly and I knew my dog was super happy. I would absolutely ask Sadie to sit again for me if she would. Also, my condo was in amazing shape when I returned. I just felt so confident in her and comfortable knowing Sadie and my dog were comfortable in my home.
