It was wonderful to have Goda as our housesitter. She was completely self-sufficient and took great care of our cats and home. We wouldn’t hesitate to have her back!
I had a great time sitting Raya and the kitties. The Freeport area is lovely and the apartment is easy to feel at home in. Andrea recently moved in, so the place still needed some settling in. The photos were not updated for my sit. The apartment is spacious, bright and very inviting. Some nice amenities are available (gym, pool, bbq grills and more). My favorite spot was the balcony where we were all captivated watching the many birds come to the feeders (not Raya so much, her attention was on the squirrels). Raya is a delight. We hiked several miles daily in wonderful locations, all within a 10 minute drive. She was obedient and follows commands. The only area I wasn't confident was when encountering other dogs, she could sometimes be aggressive, maybe it was me and another sitter would handle this better. Using the e-collar helped. There is one dog, Rocco, who she adores and plays wonderfully with at the apartment dog park. His owner was kind enough to let me know when Rocco was out and ready for a play date. The cats are AdOrAbLe! Ruthie can’t get enough play, attention, love. Athena is easy, breezy. Andrea was always available to reach, even being out of country. I would welcome the opportunity to return and spend time with this furry family!
We had the best time looking after Mojo for 3 weeks. She is a beautiful dog with lots of love and personality. The area is lovely, far out from central Bangkok but that was okay for us as we caught up on our blogs. It has a real homely village feel to it, everyone says hello, and there’s everything you could ask for. Martyn & Chrissy kept in communication, we enjoyed hanging out with them. We enjoyed walking and going for runs with Mojo and hopefully can do it again in the future!
Sarah was a generous host with realistic expectations. She was easy-going and she communicated well. Cynthia was a sweet dog who loved being petted and really, really enjoyed going for walks!
We had a lovely time staying at Caroline’s beautiful house, it’s very peaceful, we spent every evening sitting in the garden. Zahra is very happy doing her own thing, cuddles every now and then but was mainly occupied with watching butterflies. Warm welcome from Caroline and great communication throughout our stay, There’s a few shops close by and it’s a quick 20min walk right into town (also plenty of buses) Thanks for having us Caroline x
Rich and Sandy live in the most beautiful, secluded spot. Their home is lovely and the animals are friendly and loving. They are the nicest people and easy to communicate with.
I had such a great time taking care of Kerry’s lovely home and animals! The amount of animals might sound overwhelming at first but don’t let it put you off! Once you develop a routine it is such a blast getting to interact with everyone. The ducks are so funny and amazing to be around. I loved all the chickens, especially the babies!! Juno is a very sweet dog - extremely hyper with that puppy energy but super lovely, friendly and funny. I loved the cats and Artemis the beardie was my fave!! This is such a lovely area of West Virginia too. So much to do. Kerry and her boyfriend were very patient with my questions, as this was my first time handling a hobby farm. Their house is really lovely and relaxing to be at. I would love to come back in the future!
