We, and Izzie, are so lucky to have had Lucy sit for us! She was everything we could have hoped for, given our skittish, shy and nervy (but very loving) girl and what she needs to be happy and relaxed. It was pretty clear from the several web chats we had in advance that Lucy should be fine, but on meeting her in person we were even more reassured that she was the right human for Izzie. Lucy kept us updated daily on how Izzie was doing and most days we got photos and/or short videos. By the end of Day 2 we were completely at ease and could enjoy our time away without worrying about Izzie as it was clear that she had accepted Lucy as part of the family and was coming to her for regular cuddles, chats and just to hang out nearby. Izzie is very choosy about giving anyone other than me -- Nancy -- cuddles and chats. Even poor Richard is loved mostly as the provider of meals and only infrequently gets cuddles. We are discussing another sit later this with month with Lucy as we can't imagine anyone who could be better with Izzie. For us the important thing about a sitter is their interaction with Izzie, everything else is secondary. However, the house was spotless on our return and Lucy, and husband Gareth, who joined her for a few days, enjoyed staying in our home and had the chance to meet a few of our neighbours. On our return we had a catch-up over tea and also found many points in common in our interests and experiences and our 'brief chat' went on for several hours. Izzie, Richard and I recommend Lucy very very highly. If you want your cat to get undivided love and affection while you're away -- Lucy is the sitter for you.

This is the second time that Rebecca and Bob have stayed at my home. They have worked magic with my nervous kitties, getting them to feel safe enough for belly rubs and socializing instead of hiding in the closet. They even went the extra mile and refreshed several outside water stations on the daily for the birds and feral kitty to help them survive in this Arizona heat. That is no small task. I appreciate them so much.

Constanze & Paul
Had a wonderful housesit while taking care of Simba, Freddie, Woody, Jack, Poppy and Lilly. 
Constanze and Paul gave a very warm welcome and it was really nice to spend some time with them. 
Communication with Constanze and Paul was very good prior and during the sit. They organized it perfectly and gave al the information necessary to have a great stay. The cats are fantastic, so sweet and playful. Every cat has it’s on character and is adorable in his or her own way. During our sit Poppy and Lilly where two small kittens which was great and a pleasure to take care of!
The house is very comfortable and spacious with everything you need at hand and more. The location is beautiful with great opportunities to go for a walk.
Altogether a highly recommended sit and would love to be back in the future!

This is a lovely home in a quiet neighborhood. Hiccup is a sweet, happy dog and a good walking partner.

Instructions were simple and clear and communication with pet owners was good.

Liliana
I thoroughly enjoyed my house sit with Princesa. The apartment is exactly as Liliana described with a great view from the balcony and close to shopping, restaurants, grocery, and coffee shops. It is especially great if you like horse racing, since the apartment overlooks the largest racetrack in Peru.

And Princesa is an adorable cat – very self-sufficient but quickly becomes your friend if you brush and play with her. Liliana was very helpful throughout my stay, giving recommendations of where to eat and shop. She was even provided me some really helpful advice for my subsequent trip to Machu Picchu. A restful, relaxing house sit with a great cat!

Megan
Megan and Chris are very nice and easy going. Their house is very comfortable and a great location for hiking and sone pretty amazing parks and things to do. Chris laid out lots of maps and info and that was helpful. 

Freya (sp?) is a beautiful dog. She's a little shy at first but when you walk her on the trails by the house she turns into a playful puppy. Well behaved and well trained. Their cat is adorable and loves attention. A real sweetheart. 

Highly recommend and I'd do it again if opportunity knocked

Andrea & John were the perfect hosts, they made me feel so welcome in their beautiful home & Gordon was an absolute treasure! The house is a short walk away from the beach, train station, restaurants & cafes so there's plenty to do on the doorstep! Gordon is a little character who loves the beach, car rides & curling up on the sofa so very easy to look after! I would love to house sit for them again in the future X
