Eric is a wonderful sitter! I knew he would be great after I saw all of his 5 star reviews. When I first talked to him, Eric was very amiable, and asked all the right questions, which showed me that he had read through the listing and paid particular attention to the types of pets that we had and their particular quarks. Eric took the time to meet with me as needed before he came to the place. He was always happy to meet me at the times/days I requested. We had to catch a ferry and it was prebooked, Eric was very flexible and allowed for plenty of time to arrive at our home for us at arrive back so we did not have to worry about the dogs being alone. During his stay, Eric made sure that the dogs were walked and properly attended to. One of our dogs requires daily medication and Eric did a great job with that. One of our boys was a bit whiny during the stay and we had a chat about it, Eric solved the problem during his stay. One the day we came home, Eric offered to launder the sheet and towels which was a such a relief to me a I had so much to do when I got home. One of the best things that Eric did was take our dogs for one last walk right before we came home so that we did not have to attend to them after our long journey. When we got home, our house was clean, our dogs were happy and tired and we were extremely pleased. Be sure to book Eric if he enquires about your listing!

Pamela
Pam and Owen are so kind and generous with their space. They were super responsive with any questions I had. I enjoyed staying in their townhouse that’s not far at all from downtown Seattle. Mac is the absolute sweetest girl. She is so incredibly smart and just wants to people please and cuddle. It was exactly what I needed during my holiday “staycation” in the PNW.

Joanne
Jo was an exceptional host, making my pet and house sitting experience truly enjoyable from start to finish. She was very sweet and thoughtful to have provided delicious food and Prosecco in the kitchen on the first day for me!

Caring for the pets was a breeze. Lincoln's playfulness, Teddy's gentleness and Rory's funny sounds brought lots of joy to me each day. The Guinea pigs' were so cute and easy to look after too.

Staying in Jo's beautiful, clean and tasteful passive house truly felt like a holiday with marvellous views of greenery and blooming flowers all around. The effort they put into creating such n amazing and comfortable space was inspiring.

Overall, my experience caring for Jo's sweet pets and staying in their amazing home was fantastic. I'm truly grateful for the opportunity and would happily do it again in the future. Thank you, Jo! 😊

This was a wonderful housesit! I absolutely adored my stay here in Stirling. This beautiful country house has a lovely garden where the chickens roam during the day and are locked up at night in their quality chicken coop- they are well looked after and are considered part of the family. There are rabbits hopping about the garden and little birds abound, a short walk down the road and you will see horses and fields of sheep with a stunning mountainous landscape- the true green beauty of Scotland. Stirling Castle is worth a visit if you pop into town. 
I did not have a car but Sue offered to pick me up from the station at the start and from there, her friendly sister was nearby if I needed anything. There is a bus 10 mins walk from the house to get into Stirling and from there its a 1 hr train to Edinburgh or Glasgow. Sue also was very communicative and the bedroom was so cosy and tidy, also the chicken eggs very tasty and she left some cooking essentials and food kindly for me.  I could not recommend enough if you want a quiet getaway into the country to recharge and relax with some cute chickens for company!

We had a great time pet sitting Kitkat and Hobnob! The kitties were so sweet - Kitkat is such an affectionate cat and we loved how Hobnob followed us around the house ☺️Additionally, Eleri and Argyris were very helpful and communicative throughout! The house was very cosy and we had everything we needed for our stay 😊 Would definitely recommend this sit!

David
David and Roberta’s house was cozy and comfortable, located in a safe and beautiful neighborhood, there is a bus stop one block away that can take you to the Rockville metro station, and right across the street is a shopping center with some great restaurant options and a grocery store. So while a car is a nice to have out in these suburbs it is not a must have. David and Roberta were communicative and answered questions quickly.

Katie
Katie and Kev are generous hosts. Kev met with us to show us around the house and explain the feeding regime for Willow and Casper. They live in a lovely house in a nice part of Llanelli, we particularly enjoyed the evenings sitting in the sun on their patio. Llanelli is an extremely friendly town, with scenic coastal paths for walking and cycling. 
Willow and Casper were easy to look after, both very friendly. Willow is quite independent disappearing for long periods of time , Casper is more of a home bird. 
We enjoyed our stay.
