Marta was a great housesitter. She took great care of our cat and sent pictures regularly to tell us how he was doing. Also very friendly and easy to communicate with, which made us much more comfortable to leave Laddu with her. We would definitely want her to take care of our cat again! :)
Francine and her son Valentin house sat for me for 1 - 24 March 2022. Originally I had booked for 2 weeks but needed to extend my stay away by 10 days due to catching COVID. Francine was flexible and able to stay longer which I really appreciated. Francine is chatty and friendly, and quite maternal - I returned to a full fridge and happy cats. Valentin is a very nice young man in his mid-20s. While I was away, Francine sent me photos every day of my cats, and a little report on their behaviour for the day, which I enjoyed. Most of the photos featured the cats sitting happily on Francine’s lap, which really reassured me. For various reasons Francine ran out of time on the last day, so I returned to a not quite clean house, and they were not ready to leave. I did also return at 345 when I had said I would return between 4-5. However needing to do the laundry was a minor inconvenience, given the care Francine and Valentin had given to my cats while I was away, and especially their willingness to be flexible around my extended absence.
