Brandi took great care of our house, 3 cats, and garden during the latter part of a week long sit. Despite not being able to greet her in person (since we split the sit into two segments), Brandi handled things like a pro. She FaceTimed us upon arrival to go over details, and found one of our cats, Lil, who was hiding after being spooked since the previous sitter left that morning. Brandi coaxed Lil out from under the bed and gave her a late breakfast, which made us feel at ease. She also sent a video of our elder cat Neil coughing, just to make sure it was normal, which we really appreciated. Brandi sent us regular photos and updates, and as she got more comfortable, let two of the cats outside to have some supervised play time in the nice weather. She was attentive, self-sufficient, asked great questions, and made sure the cats didn't eat each others' food! She seemed to grow more comfortable daily, even saying she loves our little prancess, Lil, who can be tricky sometimes! Additionally, she watered our young trees and some new transplants when requested, as we were concerned about the lack of rain during the week. We also appreciated Brandi's open communication, particularly when a concern came up for us, and we were able to work together to resolve it quickly. We came home to a clean and tidy house, happy cats, and a little homemade treat she left for us. We'd be happy to have her sit for us again. Thanks, Brandi!

Elena
It was a joy to sit for Lena and her adorable cat Mosha. 
Mosha is so entertaining and a piece of cake to care for. Lena has a cosy apartment. A nice amount of light coming from every window. There is a nice park nearby you can enjoy walking in. 
I can't commend them highly enough!

Mitchell
Higgs is an absolute sweetheart to care for. He is affectionate and obedient and just about the most mellow, patient dog I have ever cared for. He is very well trained and loves to play. 

Mitchell and Pam were welcoming and their home is lovely. The location is fantastic- close to a park and many amenities. I enjoyed my visit very much and highly recommend them.

Pippa
I had a lovely time house-sitting for Pippa and looking after her beautiful pets Luna and Zulu! Pippa was an extremely welcoming host and invited me to stay with her the night before. Pippa also offered me an extra night in her home after the house-sit as I was flying out the following day which was super helpful for me and much appreciated! Care instructions were clear and super easy to follow. Luna was friendly, well behaved, cuddly and great company. The house is in a good location in walking distance of shops, tram line and lots of parks including the wandle trail, perfect for long walks/runs. Would house-sit for Pippa again in a heartbeat!

Penny
We had a lovely time looking after Minnow and Pebble. They were obedient dogs who loved company. They both loved to go for walks. Poor Minnow had to work hard to get attention as Pebble wanted it all for herself. Minnow was patient and waited when Pebble left to find yet another stick (try not to throw them too often) Pebble loves chasing sticks or any piece of wood she can carry.
Penny and Alys house was comfortable and warm.
Communication with them was easy and we enjoyed our stay.
Recommended housesit.

Although this sit was cancelled due to illness, I’d like to say how prompt and pleasant my communications with Lorraine were. It was greatly appreciated. ?

Shima
Our sit in Tampa was just great: Gumbo and Akira the dogs are big but sweet as they can be, which meant lots and lots and lots of love! The family cats are all very cuddly and affectionate, especially Koko who used to sit on our lap while we were working and was a great assistant! Drogon the dragon was amazing to look at (we stayed for a very short time and he was all set), and the house has everything you might want for a supercomfortable stay. Many thanks Shima and Eric for having us at your place with your wonderful pets, we miss them!
