From our first video call we felt Lucy would be easy to communicate with, flexible, able to take our situation/requirements on board without issue, and someone we could trust. These initial feelings were reinforced once we met and during her sit. We agreed she should come a couple of days before we departed so we could show her round the neighbourhood and explain the details of the house and pets. We left confident that our house and pets would be well looked after, and this definitely proved the case. Unfortunately Lucy developed a cold on arrival and was certainly under the weather initially though she did not let this interfere. Lucy did a great job of looking after Jake and our new cat Simba, demonstrating a great love and care for them, soon winning the affection and confidence of both. Simba,being in part feral, has always been vary wary of any strangers and immediately disappears as soon as anyone calls round, but even before we left Lucy had gained his trust. We also lent Lucy our L200 truck, having put her on the insurance, and this was also well looked after. Lucy did encounter some issues with the internet and other minor problems, but via phone calls Lucy was able to explain the problem and I to provide a solution which Lucy had the technical ability to understand and thus resolve the issues. She kept in regular contact with frequent photos/videos of what the pets were up to and did a good job of looking after the house, even sweeping up the copious amounts of leaves that had fallen. It was a pleasure to have her stay, we wish her all the best in her future travels, and hope she will come and sit again sometime in the future. We have no hesitation in recommending her.

Jim
Two easy kitties in a friendly community! Woodland behind the house with birds, and a corner lot in a quiet neighborhood made for a nice relaxing holiday week, while the outside temps were at freezing and snow fell on Christmas morning! Jim gave thorough instructions upon my arrival, and was always within reach via text or phone. There are plenty of stores nearby, and other activities. Highly recommending this sit!

Jody
This sit was my first house sitters experience and I have loved every moment. Ziggy is an adorable loving cuddly gentle girl who will lay on your lap for hours and makes the cutest sounds, playtime was fun too, she loves her coils and tunnel. Jodys home is warm and sunny with great  walks and shops close by. I would sit again in a heartbeat and already muss Ziggy.

Vanessa
We had the incredible fortune to housesit for Vanessa and Andy for 2 weeks. They took their dog with them, so we only had Nala to care for. Nala was such a sweet cat. At first she was a bit unsure, but within a few days she turned into a purring snuggle-puss, who enjoyed being carried around like a baby, and never refused a good belly rub. Their large rural home (with 2 saunas!), surrounded on 3 sides by thick forest, was super comfortable and very private. We relaxed with morning coffee on the patio, and ate our meals on the upper deck looking out onto expansive blueberry orchards. Coquitlam is a beautiful green city with lots of interesting hikes in the area. Thanks Vanessa and Andy, we really enjoyed our stay in your beautiful home.
