Lisa and Tom were outstanding sitters! We spoke briefly before the sit and they kindly arrived in good time for us to leave on our travels and we had the opportunity to get to know them and share further details about Bellamy and our home. Communication was easy and they provided regular updates whilst we were away. Bellamy clearly loved their company and enjoyed sitting on Tom's lap in the evenings. Unfortunately, whilst we were away Lisa discovered that Bellamy had brought a few fleas into the house from the garden (he does love to hide under the cabin on dry days!) but Lisa was quickly onto it and gave him a treatment very promptly, for which we were really grateful. Having had an older cat of their own, they were fully understanding of his needs and even encouraged him out into the garden a few times for a change of scene when he was feeling especially lazy! Like many older cats he can spend 23.5 hours a day curled up asleep! We returned home to an immaculate house, the bedding was clean, there were flowers in the kitchen and a wonderful home cooked meal waiting. These were lovely surprises to receive, especially after a long journey. Lisa had also planted a few seeds for our garden, and we can't wait to see how they turn out. We would have no hesitation in recommending Lisa and Tom for other sits and would welcome them back here at any time. They are wonderfully kind, thoughtful and caring.

Maddison took exceptional care of our apartment, garden, our two cats and our corn snake. From the first communication Maddison was professional and organised. It was clear that she had spent some time reading our profile to familiarise herself with our needs before reaching out to us. It was clear from our communication that Maddison was serious about housesitting for us and that she had researched the area. During the sit, Maddison kept us regularly updated on the health and wellbeing of our pets, this is especially important to us as one of our cats is 15 years old with an ongoing health problem. During a flare up of this condition, Maddison kept us updated on our cats health and administered medication to her. Maddison handled feeding our snake very well and he continued to eat well for her throughout the sit. He can sometimes be fussy so we know she followed our instructions well! As we were away for a longer period if was necessary for Maddison to forward some post to us, this was carried out promptly and it helped us keep in control of our life admin whilst we were travelling. Upon our return we found our apartment spotlessly clean, our cats relaxed and happy, the garden (including vegetables!) doing very well and our snake well fed and content. We wouldn't hesitate to welcome Maddison back for another housesit in the future and wholeheartedly recommend her!

Jill
I had such a wonderful stay in Jill’s home! She made me feel so welcomed. Her cat, Goose, is lovely. You will find tons of restaurants and stores close by and a Shoppers drug mart right across the street. Ossington station is a short 2 minute walk.
I had the best sleeps on Jill’s super comfy bed. I found it to be a very peaceful and relaxing sit. I highly recommend this sit, thanks Jill and Goose!!

Sherry
We had a wonderful time with Lani, Kobi and Snowie. All three animals have grown incredibly close to our hearts. We would have loved to stay longer and enjoy the time together. Sherry and Mic are two wonderful people and we felt right at home. The house and the location are also an absolute dream. Everything was perfect all around. We miss our three cuddly bears.

Lisa
Lisa and Nigel are gracious hosts. Nigel picked me up from the train station and gave me a tour of the town and house.  The house was very comfortable with the added benefit of a lovely pub around the corner!  Lisa was very clear in her communications and replied to inquiries right away.  The cats were wonderful company.  Purdy is a love who stayed close and Gizmo is a man about town but also prompt for meals and back for a good night's sleep.  Thanks Lisa and Nigel for inviting me!

We jumped at the chance to visit Brighton as its one of our favourite cities and we might just have found our favourite cats too :-). Pop and Huckle are real characters and kept us entertained for the full three weeks. They’re super playful and chase each other round the (huge!) house constantly. They had us giggling at their somersaults and leaps into the air to catch a toy/chase the laser. They are also very affectionate (particularly Pop) and enjoy plenty of snuggles every evening inbetween the acrobatics. They are pretty independent though as they have a catflap and can come and go as they please – generally easy to look after and a delight to have around.

Although we didn’t meet, Alli and Patrick were really friendly when we chatted on video call and were great at communicating throughout. Their home is wonderful; filled with amazing art, spacious and well equipped. It’s well situated overlooking Preston Park (we got a glimpse of the Pride concert from the window) and just a 4 min walk from a bus stop that can take you down to the Lanes and seafront or in the other direction upto the South Downs/Devil’s Dyke. 

All in all a fantastic sit - thanks Alli and Patrick for a fabulous three weeks, we’re missing Huckle and Pop already!

Jennifer did a great job at making us feel comfortable and had great communication. Dallas and Millie were so adorable and easy going. The house was in a convenient and safe location. It was such a treat to dog sit for them and would do it again in a heartbeat!

LoAn
LoAn's home is lovely, and is in a great location for enjoying coastal Orange County. And her pets (or "fur babies" as she calls them) are wonderful. Milly and Veni are adorable Pomeranians with very friendly dispositions, and they are very well-behaved. I enjoyed walking them around the neighborhood and in the nearby park (1 block away), and I find that I miss them! Sox the cat was a bit shy, except for first thing each morning, when she came out and was affectionate. She mostly hid in the master suite the rest of the day. LoAn's sitter's guide was thorough and helpful, and the home was just fantastic. And communications with LoAn were easy and straightforward. I would gladly come sit for them again anytime.
