Henri
Housesitting for John and Henri was a complete pleasure. They were so thoughtful, stocking our 'gite' with food supplies and making sure that we were comfortable. They are kind and helpful and very welcoming. They also provided us with a 'Bible' so we had all the info we needed for taking care of the house and animals.
The animals are very sweet. The two younger dogs, Jazz and Lipton, are frisky and endearing personalities that we bonded with during their evening brushings. Mrs. Lipton, an elderly white lab,  is completely lovable -- calm, gentle, and the sweetest soul I've run into, maybe ever. She spent quite a bit of time with us in the gite and I would have happily kept her forever.
The kitty cats are also delightful. Free spirited Helix visited us often, while the other two cats stayed indoors in the main house. Hastings is a fluffy little firebrand and Hashtag is more reserved. We loved hanging out with them in the evenings. 
The house where we sat, in Castelnau de Montmiral, is in a beautiful part of southern France. John and Henri were thinking of moving soon, but I'm sure they'll have a gorgeous place wherever they go. Best wishes to you too, Henri and John, on your property adventures!
To anyone considering a sit for them, I would say to do it without hesitation. You'll be connecting with a lovely bunch, both humans and animals. Enjoy, and please give big hugs to all of them for me!

Magdalen
I had a lovely week in Winchester looking after the incredibly affectionate Mimsy. She was a dream to take care of and wonderful company. Magdalen's home was beautiful, modern, clean, spacious and had everything needed for a comfortable sit. Communication was perfect and I was so grateful for the kind welcome and goodies left to enjoy. I'd happily return and would highly recommend. Thank you so much for a great stay!

Debbie
We had a great time looking after Bex for Debbie. She was a great communicator and left a tidy house that had everything we needed. Bex is a sweetheart and totally easy - with instructions regarding food, and Debbie's blessing, we were even able to get in a day of skiing. The neighbourhood is very cool with lots of trail walks and beautiful scenery. It's driving distance (or bus) to Whistler village, but luckily the best bakery on the planet is walking distance away (1.5 km), so what else could one possibly want? We would absolutely pet sit for Debbie again, or recommend her (and Bex) to anyone else.

Carole
Carole was absolutely great with me. From the moment I arrived, she put me at ease and made me feel at home. The instructions were very clear and simple. Charlie is a big ball of love, he loves cuddles and is extremely kind. Be careful not to leave anything on the table unattended because he has a greed proportional to his kindness. I can only recommend Carole.

Michael
Kate and Michael were easy to communicate with and very friendly! They gave a few tips and info about Xylo so it was very easy to care for Xylo. 
Xylo was also a gentle giant and super sweet during my stay! 💖💖💖

Claire
Everything about this sit was excellent! Super location very close to the beach, the home was warm and tastefully decorated, and Trix was such a sweetheart! She loved her walks on the beach, and at the park conveniently located just across the street.  Claire had the house very clean and ready for our arrival. The communication and responsiveness before, during and after this sit could not have been better. If you have the opportunity to do this sit, take it!
