Lakisha is such a wonderful house sitter and animal companion! One could literally not find a better personality to care for animals. Lakisha is a detail oriented, focused but flexible career woman, who is somehow also an outdoorsy, hiking, nature-loving vegan, completely in harmony with animals. She’s able to work from home, so she spent tons of time with my cat. I don’t have dogs right now, but if I did, she would have been cross-country skiing and snowshoeing and hiking with them every day. She literally offered to bring her own cleaning supplies and detergent, to make sure that they are vegan and cruelty free. She organized my kitchen and took adorable pictures of my cat, and sent me a little videos of him. She is the perfect housesitter. I was really wowed by Lakisha’s care, and am so grateful for everything she did…taking care of François, my beloved three legged kitty cat, for an entire month, when I was on the other side of the world. When I first interviewed with Lakisha, she had really great questions. For instance, she prompted, “Tell me about your daily routine with François.” Then she truly listened as I described a day with my cat. Which, for all you cat people out there, is really not a very exciting day. But she took notes. She then asked, “Does he have any special needs or medications?” At the time, he wasn’t on any medication, but right before I left, he did get a prescription… And Lakisha was completely willing to embark upon the difficult task of managing medication in a cat that she had just met. She was really fearless when it came to his health and needs. I was traveling to the other side of the world, in South Sudan, where I didn’t know if I would have Internet access and was working in a stressful situation. Lakisha would send me pictures of François, or a little videos of him playing with his mouse. It was such a relief to know that he was safe and OK with somebody. I remember the day when she wrote to me that they had really connected… And I knew that he actually had a friend who saw his special spark. Then… (!!!) I had to extend my stay…over Christmas, and she stayed extra just to take care of him, through the holidays. Absolutely amazing. When I came home, the house was perfectly clean, with a little gift on the counter. Lakisha had remembered that I made a joke about taking care of my basil plant (It was clearly an already dead plant)….so she bought me a brand new one and also a really pretty nice smelling candle. I am so lucky to have had her with my beloved cat, when I was so very far away, never having left him for so long. It is amazing how somebody can be a stranger one moment, and then they are a beloved cat-auntie the next… Somebody to really trust with your pet and your home. Thank you so much, Lakisha!

Patti traveled with her sister and both of them were very sweet with my dogs. One is in training and they both followed his training plan. They kept the house clean and were easy to work with. I would have them sit for us again!

Karen
I had a wonderful stay in Kiama looking after Bosko and Franki. The location is excellent and there are lots of super friendly pet owners with interesting lives to chat with while the dogs hang out. There are also so many great places to take the dogs on walks. Karen and Paul are lovely, warm and friendly, and have a amazing view home and a beautiful daughter that I got to hang out with for a few hours. I highly recommend this pet sit.

Adrian and Moira
I had a wonderful time housesitting for Adrian & Moira, their a wonderful couple, and made me feel very welcome. Their two cats are both lovely and no problem at all. One of them “ Libby “ just loves to be with a human, and would make any sister feel welcomed and at home. A beautiful natured cat. The other “ Clyde “ is more reserved, but no problems at all. The home is situated only a short distance from the beautiful town of Caerphilly, and a very short train journey into Beautiful Cardiff. I got to visit Cardiff Castle, as well as Caerphilly Castle, so much history in the area. Looking forward to a revisit some time soon.
Many thanks Adrian & Moira, for allowing me to sit for you.
Your friend Bob 😀

This was my first sit and it couldn't have been better! Nancy and Nellie are the sweetest girls; it was such a pleasure to sit them. Sian and Simon's home is so beautiful with lots of lovely coastal walks and swimming spots nearby. They were contactable and responsive during the sit. I hope to sit Nellie and Nancy again in future!

Nancy
We are very happy and grateful for having had the opportunity to take care of Tasca, Jasper and Lisa.
We've been only 3 days but it was enought to became friends. Jasper and Lisa are super friendly dogs who spent the day by our side, as if they had known us all their lives. They walk perfectly on the leash and do not pull. They took their meds with no problem. They were just adorable.
Tasca was also comfortable with our company.
Nancy was super friendly and open and she was always available for our questions.
The house, on the beachfront, is a luxury to be able to enjoy not only the beach but also beautiful sunrises on the horizon.
Thank you for trusting us and for giving us this opportunity!

Skye and Tom were great hosts!  Because we were driving, they let us come in the night before and we had dinner together. Baby and Cooper were just great and easy. They just get fed twice a day and go out to potty a few times per day. There is a lovely pool to swim in and there are several free places to go watch the sun go down in town. If you like to soak up the sun and eat fresh sea food- this would be a good sit for you.

We had an absolute blast on this sit! Chito the cat is the most vocal cat we’ve ever been around. Just loved hearing her chat and spending time with her. The house is simply beautiful and they keep it immaculate. It’s very comfortable and we felt completely at home right from the start. There’s plenty to do in the area, but we found ourselves just sitting outside in the backyard watching the birds for long periods. Even saw a road runner at one point. And Laura and Joe are just awesome. We spoke with them for a bit before they left and had a short hang with them when they returned. Very easy to chat with and great fun to be around. We highly recommend this sit if you get the chance!
