We had a great time during this sit :-) Nelson’s home was clean and he was very communicative throughout our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed pet-sitting Bailey as she is easy to care for and so sweet! We especially liked how she would follow us around the house. We were sad to be leaving her on our last day.
We had a lovely two weeks staying in the restored convent. Tina and Boe were very welcoming. They are very organised with their 'Book of the House' which clearly explains everything you need to do in relation to the house, dogs, pool and mowing the lawns. Jake and Rollo are two well behaved, quiet and easy to care for golden retrievers. The village is very peaceful. Closest village with shops is 2kms away, but the bigger supermarkets are a 15-20 min drive. Lots of walks and beautiful villages to visit nearby. We loved our time here and hope to return again.
We really enjoyed our stay at Isabel and James' home. Their house and location are great, close to town but feeling rural. There are wonderful walks on the doorstep and Annie was great company as we explored the area. Annie is well behaved on and off the lead, she wants to be friends with everyone. Peanut is gentle and friendly but like most cats quite independent. She enjoys the occasional snuggle up and tolerates Annie trying to get her to play.
This was a great housesit. Alex is friendly, generous, thoughtful and organised. Alex communicates promptly and he thought of everything to make this a wonderful petsit experience. Alex has an artistic apartment, which is comfortable and filled with creativity, happiness and warmth and is situated in the best location, with shops, supermarkets and transport connections on your doorstep. Lamp, the cat, is a shy, curious, independent cat and absolutely gorgeous. I always found him sitting close by to me. I would love to house and pet sit for Alex again. Thank you for sharing your home and Lovely Lamp with me :))
This was an excellent sit! Jen was so nice and communicative, and we reviewed everything prior. Sweet Millie was the best! I loved spending time with her and would love to sit for her again. She did excellent on our walks, was a snuggle bug and very easy to read. Their home is in a great location in Denver with walking distance to so many things. No trouble parking and the neighborhood is safe. One of my favorites in the city.
Zeus and Pesto were an absolute joy to pet sit! If you’re a fan of playing fetch, these boys will be your best friend in no time. Neighborhood and house was lovely as well - we would come back anytime!
