I wish there was a way to give Abigail more starts for pet care! She was an absolute gem with my senior cat who needs meds every day. We were lucky enough to be able to meet Abigail before our 2 1/2 week trip to Greece. We were instantly put at ease—she charmed us with her sweet personality and it was obvious that she would be more than competent at taking care of our home and our cat. And we were right! She kept in touch with us every few days on What's App, sometimes she had a question and sometimes she just wanted to give us an update on Jasper the cat. Towards the end of our trip, we got a message from Abby that Jasper had gotten into a fight and had a swollen place on his face. She took him to the emergency vet in the middle of the night, stayed there for at least a couple of hours, and was in contact with me the whole time. She was very calm and not panicky in the least which led me to feel at ease. She obviously had the situation well in hand. She took care of all of it without complaint and put the vets fees on her credit card (she OK'd all of his treatment with me) and allowed me to pay her pack when I got home from my trip. A gem! And Jasper recovered beautifully. She also took care of our house beautifully, watered our fairly extensive garden and kept everything alive, and charmed the neighbors. I seriously cannot think of one thing I wish she would have done differently. If you have a chance to use Abigail for a house sitter (or especially a pet sitter!) I would definitely recommend that you do so.

Rebecca
I'm having mixed feelings writing this review. Rebecca was welcoming when I arrived and organized. The home is beautiful, with great amenities as views. The pups are sweet and easy going. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. Just after the stay be ready to try to figure out where random things are located a week after. I was asked about a mug collection that had mugs apparently placed in other locations before I arrived and things that were returned when I left and where they are now. It's been a week I don't know where things have been moved in the mean time or where they were prior to my arrival. It's stressful to try to guess where something is now when I knew I left the place the way it was when I arrived (see my reviews from past stays). I've never experienced this before and hopefully it's an isolated experience.

Vicki was great at communicating with me and left helpful notes on what I needed when staying at her property and what Missy would need. She was always quick to reply and made me feel really at home. 
The location was beautiful and once Missy got used to me, she was loving and cuddly. I would definitely stay here again.

This was such a wonderful housesit, Lulia and Elrich's home is super comfortable and lovely, we felt very welcomed on our arrival. Miisu was an absolute darling! That cat is one of the sweetest little nuggets we've ever met - we had headbutts and meows in abundance. 
The location was only two stops from the centre of the city which was great too. To be honest, we loved the flat so much we didn't want to leave that much. We would love to house sit for them again and can't recommend these guys enough. Thank you so much for having us, hopefully we'll see you again soon :))) warmest, Olivia and Nils xxx

Andrea
Had a great stay with Oso, he is a bundle of energy.  He kept us on our toes, watching ty on the couch with us, and playing keep away with his toys.  The house is in a wonderfully quiet area with trails close by for walking and running.  Andrea kept us informed, and had lots of notes where to eat, play and even some church options for the holiday services.  The house was beautifully decorated for Christmas and the bed most comfortable!  All the pet items were on hand to care for Oso  to make it an easy week caring for the playful pup.

JANE
Jane had a beautiful home and property to house sit for. The area is so quiet and relaxing and the animals are all gorgeous. She is really friendly and helpful, and although there are quite a few animals, we had so much looking after them all and taking the dogs on long walks. Highly recommend this sit !

Siena
We had a great time at Siena's. The house is in a prime location, just a couple of minutes walk from two different tube lines. Smudge took a bit to warm up to strangers in her house but became very playful. The apartment is lovely and the bed extremely comfortable. Communication was smooth and Siena was amazing at accomodating our requests and make our stay even better! Thank you we would love to housesit for you again. Maria & Jake
