Tucker is a sweet little boy and a pleasure to take care of. He enjoys his walks and with the American Tobacco Trail right across the street, it is convenient to a long and shady area for walks. There are also several greenways in the Cary area, but as Melissa told me, Tucker gets anxious riding in the car. I enjoyed getting to see some of the Cary area for the first time with plenty of good restaurants to choose from. You feel like you are in the country, but everything you need is less than 3 miles. I would definitely sit for Robert and Melissa again. Their house is very comfortable, clean and has everything you need, including a gym and use of a bicycle. It was also nice to have maids come before my departure. The swimming pool would be nice on a hot day. Robert and Melissa welcomed me into their home and communicated with me well despite being in Africa. A great sit in every way.
I only met Carrie and Kim on Zoom before the housesit but received detailed, useful information so I felt very prepared and had a wonderful time looking after Charlie and Troy. Carrie and Kim live in a lovely house with a beautiful secluded garden and I felt like I was on a retreat! Unfortunately, Charlie had hurt his leg so we couldn't go out for walks together but he quickly taught me his favourite game in the garden :-) He is affectionate, enjoys attention and is highly intelligent and will persevere until you understand what he wants. Troy is a lovely cat, very affectionate and, although sleeps a lot, he will spend time with you at various times of the day. The house is in a lovely area with lots of walking potential but in the village itself there is just a church and a pub (both worth a visit) so a car is a must. I took my week's provisions with me so didn't need to go out for food shopping and this worked really well for me. I would highly recommend this housesit and would be very happy to return.
We had a good time taking care of 2 adorable dogs : miss Luna & miss Olive. Very cute, well behaved female dogs. The appartement and the large terrasse are very confortable and modern, in excellent state. We were very welcome by Peter and Cameroun, with a gift ! and precise details to operate during our stay. The place was prefectly clean and dogs had their bath before our arrival ! All perfect in fact. Best regards.
Susan offers a very peaceful place and was responsive with communication. Lily, Honey, Stuart and Kevin were all well behaved and easy to care for. Lily is uneasy at first but warms up pretty fast. Great area of Nashville to visit.
Staying at Siddharth and Shreya’s home and looking after Ollie and Loki was a perfect sit for us over Christmas. Their home was lovely and cosy, on a quiet street and Siddharth left detailed instructions and walked me through everything before they left. He also was east to communicate and answered any questions I had before and during the sit. Ollie and Loki were very easy to care for, and we loved getting to know their personalities. Ollie is such a sweetheart, and always wanted to be nearby for cuddles and attention. Even though Loki is a lot more independent, he is just as adorable!
Super cool sit, lovely lady, gorgeous pets. Sandra is an amazingly nice gal. She gave us all the info we needed and also some great recommendations. Her home is super comfy, and we fell in love with Sukkar the Saluki. She is just the most beautiful, well-behaved girl. Indira the kitty is very talkative and loves a warm lap, we also took care of a couple of foster kittens, which were just the cutest, sweetest, funniest, little rascals ever. The flat is in a lovely compound with great places to walk, pools, and food deliveries. We would totally recommend this sit to anyone! Thanks, Sandra!
