Angela and Denisse really saved us. We thought we had a housesitter and then received an email from the site saying that there was a problem with our original choice -- two days before we were supposed to go on vacation. We reposted, and happily Angela saw our listing, and we quickly set up a meeting with her and decided to take a chance with her and Denisse. It was a perfect match. We have three rescue animals, a dog and two cats. One of our cats is so fearful, he usually hides in the garage for most if not all of our trips. On day two, he made an appearance with them. We got lots of photos of happy, unstressed animals, which for us is the main reason why we want someone to house sit. She reached out regularly with updates, which was very much appreciated. Nothing was broken, which can happen with normal wear and tear, and also unprecedented. Everything was neat and orderly when we returned, and Angela even reached out when she hadn't heard from us because of traffic delaying us on our way home. I can't recommend them enough for being caring to our animals and considerate of our house. This was such a rushed reservation, but after meeting Angela I had a very good feeling and the photos confirmed they were kind to our animals and respectful. They were truly delightful to have stay, and I would highly recommend them both as housesitters.

Em & Phil
Emily and Phil set everything up for me to have an amazing time! During the entire period we kept in contact and they were always there for any issues. I highly enjoyed staying at their house and caring for Nicholas, Bryce and Chooky, all very lovely animals! Highly recommended for everyone!

Jen & Chris
It was such a lovely stay, both of us had a great time! The apartment is modern and comfortable in a green neighborhood. Jen and Chris are very friendly and sweet. They welcomed us in and made sure we felt at home.

Ellie, Boston and Luna are absolutely adorable. Ellie is very easy going and started playing with us the moment we stepped in. Boston was shy during the first few hours, but slowly became the most affectionate cat! Luna is elegant with a unique character, she had been observing us secretly for a whole day, and finally came closer to let us cuddle with her. 

Thank you the great experience with the fur babies and look forward to seeing you again! ?

Helen
This was a great house sit.
We looked after a loveable black dog and 2 black cats.
The pets were adorable, no trouble at all.
The house is very comfortable and only 10 minutes to the beach at Mooloolaba.
Highly recommended.

Jerry
It was such a joy to have spent this housesit with five rescue dogs. Jerry and Marion were very welcoming, reviewed everything thoroughly with us, communicated well and even had a variety of toiletries ready for us to use.  While it may sound overwhelming to take care of five rescue dogs (including two elderly and one with some physical disabilities), each one of them was so special in their own unique way - they were all incredibly well behaved, knew their routines and were a joy to be with. Their house is well appointed, has wonderful views of the forest (and a short walk to Lake Jordan) and there were lots of beautiful birds to watch. Definitely recommend this housesit.

Jennie
It was such a pleasure to connect with Jennie - she is the sweetest, warmest, likable person ever! I am so glad to have had the opportunity to stay at her gem of a home and met my new cuddly love, Mick. Not to neglect Molly, she was just a bit more shy but did make a few appearances. I also greatly appreciated how clean and well cared for Jennie’s home is. The whole process of communicating and confirming the sit went with ease, very reliable and respondent. I would be happy to housesit and care for her two kitties anytime!

This was a really lovely sit! Mila was so adorable and very friendly. She would come and sit on my lap most days. 

Emma and Dan were great at communicating everything I needed to know and maintained contact through the sit. 

The house is lovely and in a great location, very close to Cardiff centre. I would definitely recommend this sit to others!
