We've had many housesitters and Francois and Mariana are the best of the best. They are true professionals. We were so lucky to have them housesit for us and our cat and dog. They were confident, calm, and attentive with the pets from the first minute they walked in the door. It was very clear that they are extremely sensitive to animal needs and "communication", so they were closely attuned to what our pets were feeling and what they needed. For example, our dog gets agitated about us leaving and Mariana talked to her and petted her quietly as we got ready - eventually, the dog was lying down calmly as we walked out the door (this never happens!!!!) As housesitters and as people, they are also wonderful, trustworthy, and attentive. It was clear from their updates that they not only read, but thoroughly studied and understood all the instructions in our detailed welcome guide. They are also friendly, respectful people who were extremely responsive, always available when we checked in and ready with a little story about what they and the pets were up to. They were scrupulously on time to start and end the sit, even though we asked them to arrive at our place at 6 in the morning!! The house was spotlessly clean when we arrived and the pets were happy and relaxed. Our animals were very clearly in amazing hands. The dog was well-behaved after their stay (usually she has a bit of a backslide in bad habits during extended stays with others, but not this time!) and even the cat seemed much happier than he usually does when we come back from a trip. There is no better feeling as a pet owner - that your house sitters truly understand AND care deeply about your babies. We are so happy to have had Francois and Mariana as our housesitters, and we truly hope to meet or have them sit for us again. PS They even sent us the most delightful video they had created showing the pets' adventures during the week. In short, they are the best!!

Amanda
Thank you to Amanda and Luis for choosing us for this sit....our trip to Thailand has been memorable, in large part to your kindness and generosity.
Amanda and Luis made the whole process very easy. They communicated with us well before the sit began and were easily accessible while they were away. Nothing was too much for them...they offered us their home in advance of the sit, and ensured we felt welcome to stay until our departure was finalized. The sit was exactly as described in the listing ( expectations re the house, the dog etc)....no surprises. Lola, the dog, was a pleasure to care for and love. ...easy going, we could take her everywhere. 
5 plus stars for Amanda, Luis and Lola. We started as strangers, left as friends...
They’re the best ! Jan and Les

Louise and Percy welcomed us to their home the night before and we had a lovely dinner together. Ganja and Dido were delightful. Very engaging and great company. We did not go out a lot as we felt very relaxed and just enjoyed walking around the farm with the dogs, playing tennis and looking after the garden. If you get the opportunity to look after Ganja and Dido at Louise and Percy's home, we recommend it.

We had a lovely, peaceful time in Le Dorat looking after Nala and Harry - they both have lots of love to give and were always happy to see us. Easy walks available leaving from the house. They are strong dogs but we were happy walking them solo and together. They're good off lead, very playful and have good recall, so would recommend taking paths where you can give them a good run. We spent sunny evenings sitting in the back garden with the dogs having dinner, perfect! Nicole and Evan let us make ourselves at home and made sure we had everything we needed. We had a car so were able to explore the region a little during our stay too, Le Dorat is a sleepy town with a few welcoming bars and patisseries to enjoy.

Christine and Bobs  home was  very comfortable, everything was easy to access, as long as Bruno wasn't laying in front of the cupboard you needed, he is a big dog with one speed, Amble, he would always move for you just very slowly, a tummy rub would get his attention,and speed up move. All  the cats and dogs had their own distinct personality s, and  Cassy, Tia, Chalky gave good cuddles, so did Sandy the dog, joining me everyday on my walks, with my own dog, even if she had been out alnight. Bruno would show willing for 50 to 100 yards, then lay down to await your return. The house has the most amazing views over the valley, and far enough from the village that you could hardly hear the village dogs at night. I really enjoyed our sit, and would happily return. Especially for the cool mountain breeze, and peaceful   house.

I ADORED my time with Mylo in Barbara's lovely home! Mylo is an incredibly charming and sweet fellow, a hilarious old goober and an incomparable companion. I really miss him! The home and location are beyond charming...I would love to move to this neighborhood! Calm and quiet with the charm of old houses and trees, an adorable co-op, local coffee shop and delicious restaurants and food carts a block away, not to mention all of the other awesome shops and restaurants along 23rd and in this area that are a short walk away. And the beautiful Lower Macleay park right there...I barely had to drive the whole time I was here! Barb was so kind and accommodating and went out of her way to make me feel welcome in the house, which has wonderful high ceilings and a super bright and cozy vibe. 12/10 sit, cannot recommend enough! 😊😊

Had an amazing time looking after the sweet, sweet girls Lucy & Rosie!  Ian and Christine were very welcoming and very clear about what was expected. They have a beautiful home looking out on the Brisbane River with superb walking areas for the doggies.  I was introduced to their friends (the other dog walkers) and we walked together every morning and evening!  (made some friends there) Such a fantastic time to look forward to!! Rosie and Lucy were absolutely the most beautiful girls, very well behaved and such friendly natures.  It was truly a pleasure looking after your beautiful house and amazing dogs - thank you Ian & Christine xo :)
