It took me many weeks to find Claire and her son Jack but it was worth the long search. My dog Mozart had been getting increased separation anxiety since I went away in November, so I was really worried as to how he would be and what he would end up doing whilst I was away. Claire and Jack had dealt with a friends dog previously with the same problem and there were no issues with Mozart whilst I was away. My cats didn’t go astray either 🙏. Claire and Jack enjoyed getting around the island a few days but were always conscious of not being away from the house too long. On a couple of occasions the dogs got treated to a walk into the village and were well behaved sitting outside restaurants with Claire and Jack . The dogs received additional attention from passers by , Spice is a real attention seeker. I agreed for Claire and Jack to stay on for a few days after my return from my holiday. We each got on with our own agendas so it wasn’t an issue for me. They were kind enough to stay with the dogs one evening so as my husband and I could go out for dinner with friends without worrying on when to get back home. On the last evening we enjoyed a Sunday dinner at home together. I would definitely welcome Claire and Jack to house sit again. Claire and Jack did clean their bedrooms and bathroom before they left . Claire had started cleaning other parts of the house as we arrived home as we had forgotten about hours time difference from where we were travelling, so this is the reason I have given Claire a 4 . I’m sure if we’d arrived an hour later that all the living areas would have been spotless.

A very good sit in a great location! Surrounded by hills/mountains, 25 mins from Lake Geneva, 15mins from Switzerland, lots to explore.  If you like the outdoors, this is ideal! Another beauty of the location is that you don't get the light pollution of Geneva because there's a hill in the way!!

Both Twix and Belle were great.  Twix loves to sleep but also enjoys a good walk and company, and she's great as a guard dog too.  She's well behaved on and off the lead so that was easy, plus she doesn't pester you for tidbits when you're trying to eat your dinner!!!  Belle's a pretty sweet cat, she doesn't mind a cuddle and won't scratch or swipe (or didn't me!), and didn't really miaow overnight wanting to go out etc, so that was good too.  There's also a nice outdoor space when it's warm enough and dry enough to enjoy it.

Laura and Tom made the sit easy, and were very good (and quick!) at responding to any questions I had.  They were very easy to get on with, becoming like friends really, and made the stay as easy as it could be.  I'd very much recommend them.

Penelope
My sit with Zac was fabulous! Penelope and Julian greeted me with some home cooked delicious food. Much appreciated after my travels. Communication with Penelope was excellent. All instructions were very clear. I felt it was easy to reach her if anything came up. I felt at home and that their home had everything I needed. It was clean, tidy, and had a beautiful view of the lough. Zac is loving, sweet, and playful. He enjoys walks and snuggles! He does have some anxiety that presents in him wanting to be in company with someone. He is easy to take care of and just wants to be loved on. I definitely recommend this sit.

This has been an awesome sit. We love Cilla - such a sweet dog! And her pet parents are incredible, warm, thoughtful people as well. We love modern architecture and the beauty and solitude of the desert, and this sit was wonderful for us. Thank you Anna & Steve!

Bor
I had a really enjoyable time cat & house sitting for Bor & Ralf! The three weeks went by quickly.
Susu & Orie were easy to care for. They were not lap cats for me, but Susu would always check in and never say no to a few pets and a treat or two, while purring away.
Orie was a little more aloof, but not unfriendly. He'd like to make an entrance announcing his arrival and accept a stroke or two at feeding time. They could come and go as they please through their flap, but if you are close by, they may ask you to open the door instead.
Their home was very clean and comfortable and had everything needed for a relaxing stay. Situated north of the city centre, a 10 minute walk then 20 minute S-Bahn ride (U-Bahn was another option) got you there. This made for easy connections to explore the area, and the many beautiful villages close by. Being without a car was not an issue for me, and bikes were offered.
There was a grocery store right at the S-Bahn station (and a fine Italian pizzeria) and 3 other grocery store options which were a lovely walk 25 minute walk along the river. Several restaurants and other services were there as well.
I arrived the day before and spent a fun evening with them, while getting oriented to their home. The welcome guide was very detailed and a good reference. We kept in touch during my stay but there were no issues to be dealt with.
You know they have had sitters before, and their attention to a sitter's needs were considered, as well as their own.
I can easily recommend sitting for Bor & Ralf if you get the chance, and I would enjoy another opportunity as well!
Thank you Bor, Ralf, Susu & Orie for your trust in me!

Briana
Sitting for Ebby was fantastic! She is a sweet and loving dog that loves her walks. Briana and Sharath were very welcoming and communicative. Their home is clean, beautiful, and the neighborhood is both residential enough to be calm and quiet but still near plenty of great dining options and easy access to tourist areas. Great experience!
