Joseph took care of our cat and house-sat for us for 2 weeks. In advance of our trip, we were able to do both a virtual and in-person meet and greet to ensure everyone felt comfortable and do a walk through of the house, which we really appreciated.While we were away, Joseph responded quickly to texts/any questions we sent and provided photo and text updates every 1-2 days. Upon our return, our cat seemed happy. Unfortunately, the day of our return, Joseph accidentally locked himself out of our house. He communicated with us and we were able to provide him access to a backup key. However, when we returned home about an hour and a quarter later, we were surprised to find that he was still there (he was supposed to have left much earlier in the day before we arrived home, and we knew he was running a little behind because of the lockout, but he didn’t tell us he would still be there when we walked in). He texted us that the house was clean and ready for us, but unfortunately the house was not clean and the cat litter boxes were quite smelly and appeared not to have been changed or scooped in many days. While we realize that getting locked out of the house created some delays in getting packed and tidying the house, we were upset to find the kitty litter in that state and for the clear disorganization, at least in the final day. We provided this feedback directly to Joseph and hope that this was a one-time experience. However, we would urge clear communication around any expectations for cleaning, communication, and care.

Sidne and Blaine
Sidne and Blaine we awesome hosts. We met the night before they left to get acquainted with Sophie, their sweet Great Dane. The sit guide was thorough and well put together. The house was a treat, the property is amazing and both Sophie and Lucy were as gentle and loving as could be.

I had a wonderful time at Neil's looking after Pounce and Speedy. They are such sweet and cuddly cats and Neil's house is beautiful. Neil made me feel very welcome and comfortable in his home, which is in a lovely neighbourhood full of green spaces to walk in and friendly neighbours. I would definitely recommend this sit :)

Björg
Thank you Bjorg and the kitties for being such sweethearts. The cottage is super comfy, clean and peaceful. Convenient location with easy access to the South as well as Reykjavik. Loved waking up with horses right in the backyard.

Brett
Otis was an absolute pleasure to take care of. Loves a pat and being next to you on his own terms. Would sit for Brett and Nicki again anytime and recommend any potential sitter.

Thanks you Katie! We had a lovely time in Borth! We used to live near by so it was perfect to see all of our old haunts! 

Allan, Dave and Phyllis were great to look after. They were super easy going and once the initial excitement of us arriving had settled they were quite chilled out. Walks were easy as we could just pop them over the road and romp on the beach. They were happy to walk for as long or as short as you wanted, the beach is huge so especially at low tide it's easy to walk for ages! We did keep them on the lead when other dogs/people were around as we were a little nervous of them (especially Dave) jumping up, but mostly because we didn't know them too well. I don't think I could have handled all three on my own, but with the two of us they were fine, they were good off the lead when there were no distractions and when they knew there were treats in my pocket! There is an enclosed garden for them to nip outside too. 

The house was recently moved in to so they were still renovating and with a new born I'm sure it was hard to find the time!! But everything was clean and comfortable. 

Local area is great, dogs were fine being left for a few hours too. We went to see some old friends, had a few meals out in aberystwyth and also went to the farmers market there too. Tones of nice walks and delish places to eat. 

Thanks so much for having us!! Would come back again ☺️

I loved staying in Freiburg with beautiful lil Beau. I loved exploring the local parks and going for walks with Beau and is super cuddly and adorable. Erin was wonderful as well and super quick to reply and organised. Great location right near great green space, cafes, the city centre and train station.  I had a great stay and highly recommend.
