I was looking forward to have Jutta coming back and this sit was a private invite. Jutta take good care of the cats throughout the stay, which of course was the most important aspect. Though sometimes when things are getting "too familiar", it might be easy to overlook a few things. Due to earlier trust, she was offered a few extra advantages this time. Some extra instructions were given in relation to this. Additionally it was mentioned no need for the extra reminders in the app, as she would know since before, and she knew the routines. Unfortunately during her stay there were some noisy guests as it is holiday season. She was given permission to do what was needed in relation to this if it was a problem. I did what I could from a distance by talking in our community chat for the urbanization. Throughout my trip I got a little bit more than I appreciated complaints about the development of the culture in messages. I haven't had any of these issues after coming back from my trip as well. At the end of the stay Jutta kindly offered to make food to be ready when I came home. This I appreciated and accepted. What I didn't expect when I came home was that the end-instructions were a bit more sloppy followed. Even if intentions were good of leaving all other food/drinks, it wasn't something I appreciated coming home to, needing to start making space for my own food in the fridge and throw away hers. I would have appreciated a clear communication. Instructions about keys were given, parts of it was not followed due to time-constrictions, which for me is better to do with planning. Unfortunately coming home added some extra stress to me getting in due to not following the added instructions given in relation to some special extra key she had access to. As sitters arrive fully to a made up bedroom, clean towels/bathroom mats/tea towels, it is expected that these are washed and hung for drying before the sitter leaves. If sitter has agreed to stay in the main bedroom instead of the guest bedroom, sutters are asked to ensure I don't need to start making my own bed the first thing I come home (as if they sleep in the guestroom,my bed will be made by me before my trip). Unfortunately this time it seemed like planning of time and going through the checklist was a bit more sloppy. Only bedsheets had been put in the washing machine, not ready hung up (cycle takes max 90 min on requested program), towels ready for wash outside, tea towels not changed, bathroom mats not washed/ taken from bathroom even. There had been many ways to solved much of this, though the only thing I was informed when we meet at the airport was that she didn't have time to take up vacuum cleaner and the mops were still standing in the hallway. Jutta was given "permission" not to think about certain things that normally is on the expected list, though unfortunately many more were forgotten (as picking up poop in the "garden toilet box" that the cats use). I'm sure Jutta will be great for other pet/home owners even if we'll not continue our relationship. Mistakes happen, and nothing needs to be perfect, it was just many small things that made this a bit more stressful than I had expected and hoped for. Best of luck in your future sits . Tatters and Sulis says thanks for the time they have had with you!

Greta
This was truly a dream sit at the ocean! We fell in love with the gorgeous and sweet kitties. Our hosts made us feel very welcome and comfortable. Everything was laid out very clearly and went very smoothly. I only hope we get invited back, thank you so much Greta and Chris!

Melissa
Melissa was so very kind to me, and friendly, which I really appreciated.  She communicated beautifully regarding everything, we had all we needed to care well for Pepita and Ally, her home, and be comfortable too.  I wish I had more time to get to know Ally and Pita b/c they were delightful and cooperative, but we only had 2 days there.   Tiny Pita was a tad bit nervous at first but was quite agreeable and cheerful, running around happily and joining me in bed one morning!  Ally stuck to herself more, out by the gate most of the time, probably watching for mom or guarding the place.  She always came when I asked her too, and is well trained. She is lovely and gentle.  I would love to return to help Melissa out, if I ever return to Tucson.

Angela
Probably my favorite experience sitting.  Angela, Raven, and their apartment are all unbelievably amazing.  Angela is an amazing host. She genuinely wants you to enjoy your time and feel at home.  Raven is such a girl's girl kind of pup.  She is down for any adventure, and is always well behaved.  From patiently watching you eat ice cream, to quietly listening to the sea lions at pier 39, Raven is an amazing companion pup. The apartment is super luxe with amazing views (and amazing linens). I truly could not recommend this sit more.

Ann
Benji and Ruby are two very cute dogs. Both well behaved and very affectionate. 

Ann made sure we had all the information we needed for our stay, she had even drawn us a lovely map of all her dog walks which made it all very easy. 

Hardwick is close to Norwich (about a 15 minute drive) which is well worth a visit or two if you haven't been there before. 

Would thoroughly recommend this sit to others.

David
I had a wonderful time watching Cosmo and Bailey, they were both very sweet and loving. Cosmo loved playing fetch and Bailey played great with my dog Rambo. 
David’s house was incredibly clean and comfortable, with all the amenities you could want. I work remotely and the internet was fast/reliable. I highly recommend this sit.

Sven
Sven’s whole family is so adorable; along with his home! The cutest “cottage” with everything in it place…and Pluto & Pickle are just the SWEETEST, low maintenance, and beautiful dogs! They both have distinct personalities but love to take their walks and chase the Florida geckos! 

Sven was very accommodating allowing me to stay over night after he got back where I met his precious daughters. Such a delightful family and the neighbors are just as friendly where you feel a sense of community and safety. I would sit for Sven in a heartbeat again!
