Alvaro & Silvia
Grabriele is a kind, responsible person who has a way with cats. Ours definitely liked her! We met her in person the day before we left for our trip, and the first impression could not have been better. During the nearly month and a half we were away, she took care of our house and cats, regularly sent us photos and kept us informed the whole time.

Our cat clan has been delighted to live with her during this time. They immediately trusted her, a good indicator that she’s respectful and knows how to deal with cats.

She also cleaned the house before she left and, when we returned, we found everything just as we had left it. We would definitely recommend Gabriele as a house sitter. It has been a pleasure to have her with us for a few extra days and, if we had the chance, we would count on her again to look after our cats.

I throughly enjoyed caring for Sweet Tiger, who really did come around only for meals but was happy to receive butt scratches when home, and for roly poly cute and cuddly Sif, who lives to eat and get pets. 
Armina and Paolo are kind, generous, gracious hosts, and The most chill cat parents around, the kitties well being is their highest priority, they are here to care for the kitties. 
Their home is clean, cozy, with a well stocked kitchen and loads of reading material, with a nice backyard to hang out in and chill with the kitties, they like that. I'd love to come back and stay with the kitties any time. Thanks mucho !

Francesca
Sitting for Wadi, Ora and Fabio was amazing.  They were all so sweet and cuddley.  Wadi loved his walks and hikes and was so well behaved.  Ora and Fabio were the sweetest cats.  The fish were easy too.  Francesca was the perfect hostess.  We had excellent communication.  The house was clean, and very organized.  Durango is one of the most beautiful places.  The house was walking distance to downtown and the walkway on the Animas river.  Francesca didn't mind that my boys, who live in Durango, would stop by and visit and play games.  All in all it was a wonderful sit.

Paul and Philippa welcomed me warmly into their lovely home and provided me with excellent suggestions for things to do and see in their area. The restaurants, a community cinema, and Salts Mill in Saltaire were all great! Enzo took his time getting to know me, but we were getting along well by the time I left. He does love getting his head and cheeks stroked! I really enjoyed my stay here and would leap at an opportunity to return.

I sat for Carolynn and Casey’s home earlier in the year with my friend Katherine. It was a great experience so when Carolynn had another open sit, I jumped on it. 

For this sit, I was able to meet Cali and Casey (Carolynn’s daughter and her partner). They are super nice people who I could see myself being really good friends with. I sat for Fig and Louise this time around. Both pups are great and I felt like I really bonded with both of them in such a short amount of time. They’re happy to chill out or go on walks. 

The home is super nice and very close to Winslow, Lynwood Center, parks, the ferry etc. They have a great backyard set up and they are close to a great trail to take the pups on walks. Highly recommend this sit!

Rebecca
Thank you, Rebecca, for affording me the opportunity to watch your previous cats and explore Pécs. She has created the perfect kitty oasis for her cats (Rheia, Manchita, Chonk, Sara, and Diana). They were extremely easy to care for, affectionate, and fun. Rebecca is a wonderful host and pet owner; she ensured I was set up for success, helped me get settled and organized, checked in regularly, and was my hero when I was having difficulty ordering a taxi to the train station on the last day. I would highly recommend Rebecca and her adorable cats to future Petsitters.
