From our first video call we felt Lucy would be easy to communicate with, flexible, able to take our situation/requirements on board without issue, and someone we could trust. These initial feelings were reinforced once we met and during her sit. We agreed she should come a couple of days before we departed so we could show her round the neighbourhood and explain the details of the house and pets. We left confident that our house and pets would be well looked after, and this definitely proved the case. Unfortunately Lucy developed a cold on arrival and was certainly under the weather initially though she did not let this interfere. Lucy did a great job of looking after Jake and our new cat Simba, demonstrating a great love and care for them, soon winning the affection and confidence of both. Simba,being in part feral, has always been vary wary of any strangers and immediately disappears as soon as anyone calls round, but even before we left Lucy had gained his trust. We also lent Lucy our L200 truck, having put her on the insurance, and this was also well looked after. Lucy did encounter some issues with the internet and other minor problems, but via phone calls Lucy was able to explain the problem and I to provide a solution which Lucy had the technical ability to understand and thus resolve the issues. She kept in regular contact with frequent photos/videos of what the pets were up to and did a good job of looking after the house, even sweeping up the copious amounts of leaves that had fallen. It was a pleasure to have her stay, we wish her all the best in her future travels, and hope she will come and sit again sometime in the future. We have no hesitation in recommending her.

We could not have been more fortunate to have Jennifer as our housesitter!
If you get the opportunity to have her apply for your sit, jump!!
Jennifer is an extremely responsible, caring, organized and genuine person.   She left our house very clean and in perfect condition… which is so appreciated after long travels.  Jennifer made a point of making sure she understood all details about our house and our precious cat, but was also extremely resourceful in finding her way around.  Our cat actually has a personality more that of a dog so requires a lot of attention, but she didn’t miss a beat endlessly playing her favorite game of “chase the red laser dot”.  Jennifer sent pics and videos daily and updated us on Kitten’s daily activities.  She and I had several enjoyable conversations and I was really struck by what a kind and thoughtful person she is… and… we are lucky to have already booked her for another housesit!  Lucky us!

If I could give Joe and Jessica 10 stars I would. We went on a 5 week trip to France.  I got videos and pictures daily.  Big plus is that they brought their dog Wolfie.  Wolfie and Izzie were inseparable. It made me feel far less guilty for leaving her for so long.  Anyone considering Joe and Jessica would be very lucky to have them!

Titiana did a great job house and pet sitting for me. I would happily ask her back. The house was clean, my dog was happy, and her communication was excellent.
