We met Lisa and Stephen for the first time the day before our outbound flight, and we immediately liked them. More importantly, our dog Mollie LOVED them. There was an immediate connection as Mollie greeted Lisa and Stephen. I could tell they knew dogs, and knew how to handle and communicate with them. Right off the bat we felt confident Mollie was in good hands. That day and evening we spent time with them answering good questions and watching the bonding between our dog and these new faces. Lisa and Stephen were dog owners, and they have logged in thousands of hours dog-sitting for their family and neighbors. It was clear they were highly conscientious; we could tell that just from the questions they asked. Communication was superb. We got several cute photos every day along with a brief report on how things were going at home. This really put us nervous parents at ease. They knew to call us with any questions or concerns, but that was never necessary due to their “pet competence.” The icing on the cake was when we returned home. The house was neat and immaculate, and Mollie was happy and playing with them both. A fresh tablecloth and flowers were on our kitchen table. How nice to come home to that. We hope we can have these folks back again. Our experience was excellent, and we recommend them to anyone looking for responsible sitters.

Reta
This was my first sitting with this Community, and when I applied, neither Reta nor I, had any reviews, but somehow we connected from the very beginning and  gave it a go. We  texted, Skyped, talked on the phone and.....  voilà we made it happen.  And I definitely would recommend to stay by Reta and care for her beautiful cats!!

■The Host: Reta  was always very caring, trying for me to be as comfortable as possible, she even went out of her way extra miles ( I want to emphasise this ) so I would be at ease during the sitting. She left me written  clear instructions about each cat, feeding preferences,  habits, what to do in case of emergency, etc  

During my stay she was always available through the phone (even though she was literally on the other side of the world) giving me some instructions, and taking care of some issues that arised

I left a couple of hours before she was back (it was the last flight  available ) , but we communicated through text  and the handling of the house was smooth

■ The House:  Reta's apartment is very comfortable, warm and with lots of light. It is well equipped with a fine WIFI connection, and nice office space for those who have to home work, it also has an amazing garden, well furnished with a fantastic table , so you can enjoy the view, watch over the cats and work at the same time. Some of the neighboors were also very helpful.

The house is located in a quiet  area of Zurich, close to Nature, and even a Forest where you can wander and even visit a mini 'Stonehenge' , Parks,  and Scenic Viewpoints where you can see the whole city, you also have a good selection of shops to do the groceries and restaurants in the area. 

The apartment is also very well connected to the city center through a  good network of buses, some literally stop at the doorstep, so you can be in the city center in 15 min or less

■ The Cats. I had never seen Maine Coons in the flesh so I learned why they are called the 'Gentle Giants'

 - Widar, a formidable beautiful Maine Coon,  we bonded from the very beginning and was a loyal companion during my stay, he would sleep with me and wake up early and go to the office room to wait for me there. He has some health issues, and sometimes has to be reminded to eat, nevertheless he is a very playful kitty who would make everyone's joys

-Juma, also a  beautiful Maine Coon. Juma is very intelligent and belongs to Royalty, and even has a white Ruff around his neck to prove it, he was wary of me at first , but after a couple of days he decided to trust me, and spent a lot of time by me, but at a distance and always from a high point (he is a Royal). He spends lots of time sleeping, and grooming and you will win his heart with special treats

-Aaron, is a massive white Plush Doll, he is a very uncomplicated cat and very sweet, you cannot stop rubbing his tummy. He likes to eat, cuddle, get brushed and pose pretty in the garden, he is usually always at sight, either indoors or outside

-Momo, is the coolest of the bunch, he spends lots of time outdoors, and then comes suddenly to  eat, (he does  have a good appetite) and loves to get brushed and cuddle so he can leave again. What a free soul!!


All in all, my  Catsitting with Reta was a fantastic experience, the cats are wonderful, she is a trustworthy and caring person, the house is very comfortable, and Zurich is always woth a visit, what else can you ask for?

I had a lovely relaxing stay with Leila and Cosmo in picturesque Whaley Bridge. Kitties were very well behaved and friendly.

Nancy
We had the delightful opportunity to take care of Mashi and Gatsby. From the very beginning, Nancy was communicative and thorough, ensuring we had all the information we needed to provide the best care for her cute cats. She provided detailed instructions about their feeding routines, preferences, and any special care instructions which made our job so much easier and more enjoyable. Her trust and organization allowed us to fully enjoy our time with Mashi and Gatsby without any worries in her cozy flat. We are grateful for the chance to meet such lovely pets and would gladly help out again if needed. Thank you for a fantastic pet-sitting experience!
