DISHAN
I had a lovely stay at Dishan's house! Her pets Machito and Hiro are very sweet and easy to care for. Dishan's roommate and brother helped me get settled and learn the pet's needs, they were both very kind. The apartment is cozy and has everything you could need. If you want to experience NYC like a local this is a great place to stay!

Catharine
Catherine and Philip are a lovely, friendly couple who made us feel very welcome. They picked us from the station and cooked a delicious dinner for us the day before they left. We've spent the evening together and it was great to get to know them better - such interesting people!
Their beautiful home is bright, spacious and very comfortable set in the country side. They have an extensive piece of land that you can explore in the company of Carson. It is a perfect setting if you enjoy peace and quiet, and Catherine provided us with lots of helpful suggestions on where to eat and local attractions to visit.
Carson is a joy to look after! He loves attention and a good stroke. He is sweet, affectionate and with a big personality! We had great fun with him. 
Highly recommended!

Kristen
Kristen and Kevin have awesome pets. They were very welcoming and great company for the week we stayed at their home in Encinitas. Their home is in a great location to awesome restaurants, shops, and beaches. We even had the last minute opportunity to take on a 3rd puppy that they were fostering. Kona, Bindi, and Bruce are all well behaved and fun to care for. They are all friendly pets and get along very well with one another. The house had a great yard that the pets could play in for hours during the day. Kristen and Kevin’s house has everything you would need and they left us all the notes/guide to make for a great sit. Would definitely recommend applying to one of their dates in the future!!

Vickie
I loved looking after Luna, Kitty, the chooks and fishies. Both Luna and Kitty are very affectionate, in particular Luna likes being picked up and cuddled. The chickens were a bit shy initially but soon were following me around everywhere. The property is gorgeous, and all the animals have a set routine and are very easy to care for. Vickie and her daughter were a pleasure to meet and communicate with.
I very much look forward to seeing and caring for all the animals in the future.

Sara
Sally and Seb are very friendly and loving cats. They are both very easy to take care and we had a great time with them. Seb is more independent and spend more time outside than Sally, but he also loves to spend time sleeping on the couch and getting stroked. Sally loves attention, to spend time on our laps and to be stroked too. She was even Henrique’s office buddy some days, so cute! Her medication is very easy to give, as we just had to add it to her food. 

Sara and Angus are very kind and friendly, we felt very welcomed in their home. We went to get the keys the day before the sit started and they showed us everything in the flat and explained the cat’s routine. They left space for us in the fridge, which we appreciate. The flat is comfortable, clean and in an amazing location! It’s walking distance to grocery stores, restaurants and the main attractions of Edinburgh, which is such a beautiful city. They also left us the keys to use the private garden in their street, which was lovely!

We loved pet sitting Sally and Seb and we highly recommend this sit!
