If you're reading this review, it's probably because Graciela and Nicholas have applied to stay at your home. If you learn nothing else from this review, please understand that you should choose them, no questions asked. We spoke with Graciela and Nicholas about watching our home, and more importantly our senior dog, Rizzo, a few months before a weekend trip out of town. We were initially impressed by their questions and how easy it was to arrange a Zoom meeting to get to know them. Unfortunately for us, Rizzo started having seizures about two weeks before their stay and was diagnosed with a brain tumor the very week they were going to stay and watch him. The diagnosis complicated Rizzo's care and added several steps to his day, including us learning how to administer anti-seizure medication nasally. We advised Graciela and Nicholas about the new issues and offered to cancel our trip and make other arrangements given our new situation, and we were prepared to pull the plug on our trip. Rather than back out, Graciela and Nicholas went above and beyond to help out, and they've been the best experience we've had on this website. They agreed to a Zoom call before the stay for the specific purpose of learning how to administer the new anti-seizure medications. They sent us lots of updates on Rizzo, which we much appreciated. They left our home cleaner than they found it. Needless to say, we knew we were in great hands the entire time we were out of town, which we much appreciated given the recent news about our dog. We really can't thank them enough for giving us the peace of mind we needed to make our out-of-town trip. So, to sum it up: they were perfect housesitters, and we couldn't have asked for anything more. If you've read this far and are considering choosing them for your housesit, do so without hesitation. Thank you SO MUCH again, Graciela and Nicholas!

Francesca and Alessandra are amazing! Our house and animals were very well taken care of. Our dogs, Gumbo and Akira, especially loved them. Thank you Francesca and Alessandra!

Laura is a fantastic pet sitter! At the end of her stay, she took out the trash and made the bed. She did an excellent job taking care of our bird and 2 small dogs. We love that she gave us daily updates about our puppy and asked questions when needed. She followed the directions we gave in our care guide and was very communicative. Our pets were in fantastic health and spirit when we returned from our trip. Can’t wait to have her back next time!

Emily did a great job house and pet sitting for our 3 cats. She checked in daily with pictures, left the house tidy and communicated with us about any issues that came up during her visit. We would gladly have her sit for us again.

We enjoyed a lovely two weeks at Ali's home caring for her cute kitty Summer. We got to meet Ali just before she left for her trip which was really nice too. 

The house was very comfortable and in a lovely quiet suburban area of Oxford, with a park, the beautiful Iffley Village and walks along the Thames close by. It was also very easy getting into the centre of Oxford by public transport, which took about 15mins on average. 

Ali's home also had a garden with a vegetable patch (which we enjoyed some lovely home grown courgettes from) and a hammock - perfect for the warm sunny days we had while there. 

Like I said, Summer is very sweet and easy to care for and loves to hang out with you wherever you are in the house or garden. The only thing to be aware of is that she can be a little unpredictable when being stroked or groomed. She loves to be brushed in the morning and will bound down stairs with you on waking, and jump up onto her brushing chair at the end of the sofa but also has a habit while you are stroking or brushing her of suddenly lunging for the brush (or your hand or arm) which for her maybe a playful thing, but can be a little alarming if you're not expecting it. Just something to be aware of. 

Overall, this was a lovely sit for us and we would be happy to come back and hang out with summer in Oxford again.
