Morgan showed up right on time ready to go. She was willing to come a day early to get to know the dogs before we left. We threw a lot of little details at her about the quirks of the house and the habits of the dogs, but she seemed to remember everything just fine. The house was very tidy when we got home and he dogs seemed calm and happy. I would like to have Morgan come sit again.
Dottie and Peggy ( dogs, Mother & Daughter ) are an absolute delight to care for. Both extremely well behaved, great company, fun to walk on or off lead. Whenever I was sat on the sofa, they both would come and sit next to me. They do get a little jealous of each other, if you’re cuddling one, which is really cute. Zara’s home is comfortable and a great location, very near good local shops
Valerie was a fantastic host, giving us plenty of information on Alaiya’s daily routine and needs and was always on the end of the phone to answer any questions we had. Beautiful house and a beautiful dog to care for. No trouble at all- would sit again any day.
Diana and Scott's family are super friendly and we loved looking after their four pets! Scott was kind enough to pick us up at the airport and show us around. They have a very cool home and all the house/pet instructions were explained to us very clearly. The dogs Polar and Luke are so adorable, as are the cats Sox and Leia. You will definitely miss them when you leave! They are very easy to care for and we had a great time hanging out with them while exploring New Orleans. We hope to be back someday and we definitely recommend this sit!
I had the pleasure of pet sitting for Mark and Martina, and I must say it was a wonderful experience. They were incredibly hospitable and made me feel very comfortable in their home. The five cats are all adorable. Most of them spent their time exploring outside and only came in occasionally to eat and get some cuddles. Kemi, however, liked to stay indoors and often kept me company by sleeping nearby or hanging around. The location is also fantastic, with a cheese shop nearby and plenty of hiking options in the area. Overall, this pet sit was very easy and enjoyable. Highly recommend!
Anyone getting the chance to sit for Gabi and John are in for a treat. This is an easy 5+ THUMBS UP across the board. Pets, home and location qualify this as a DREAM SIT! We arrived the evening prior to our start date and were treated to a delicious dinner and great conversation. Felt like sitting down with old friends. Amazing couple and family. Was so nice getting to know them better before their departure and being their first THS sitters, we felt we were able to send them off with complete confidence that their fur family and home would be well cared for. What caught our eye initially when this sit came up was the Brecon Beacons. WOW!! Wales had not been on our radar for this particular trip, but this national park was spoken of so highly we thought it would be a big regret to pass up. Lucky to be chosen and this is an area that should be a MUST VISIT for anyone who loves nature. Having travelled far and wide, it stands amongst some of the most beautiful we have ever seen. AND... the perfect house to match the surrounding countryside. Could not have asked for more. Now the reason we were there. Tess and Tilly. What can we say... instantly loved the two them and they seemed to reciprocate. Tilly is a sweetheart of a cat. Purring would start the second eye contact was made. Love. And Tess. We spoiled this old girl rotten during our stay and she loved every moment. Such a sweet and affectionate dog that was happy with whatever came her way. Walks, grooming, playing and just hanging with her peeps had Tess in her "happy place" 24/7. And that goes for us as well. Been a few days since leaving and we are dearly missing them both. Thanks Gabi and John for choosing us! Had the most amazing time and we cannot wait to return. Marc and Sherrie
We really enjoyed house sitting for Nic, he communicated really well and was very accommodating. Link and Zelda were lovely cats, Link is very affectionate and so is Zelda although she is very anxious so don't be concerned if it takes a little while for her to be comfortable around you. Nice apartment in a safe location
