Hayley
Sitting for Hayley was absolutely lovely! She was very kind and easy going, and left great instructions. Her apartment is charming and comfortable, and in a great part of the city - very walkable and safe. And Zorro, what a gem! Definitely one of my favorite cats, he was very well behaved and such a good cuddler. A quiet and chill gentleman :) Highly recommend this sit, would gladly do it again!

Solange
I was fortunate to have Solange for my first housesit with trusted house sitters. I had house sat before, but always for people I knew. Solange invited me to arrive a couple of days early so we could get to know each other and I could get acquainted with Opale. I immediately felt comfortable with her, her pet and the house.  She showed me around the property, introduced me to her son and daughter-in-law,  prepared a carefully thought out detailed list of information, and showed me around town. The house was immaculate, the neighborhood most pleasant and Opale was a most affectionate cat, easy to care for. It made for a smooth and enjoyable stay. I would love to house sit Opale for Solange anytime, and I highly recommend her.

toni
We were welcomed by Toni & Glenn from the moment we FaceTimed them. They are the loveliest couple and we instantly felt a level of trust in them. 
Their house is a beautiful 2 bed, walking distance from Footscray Station which has very fast connections to the city (15mins). The house was spotlessly clean when we arrived, and Toni went out of her way to stock the cupboards with lots of gluten free products, as I’d mentioned I have an intolerance. Very thoughtful! 
We loved exploring Footscray, and Toni & Glenn left us lots of local recommendations which was great. 
The 4 cats are indeed very shy! We only managed to get cuddles out of Mama, however the other 3 always came in to say hello at dinner time and we’d find them curled up on the sofa in the morning. 
We’d love to house sit for Toni & Glenn in the future! Thanks so much for having us :)

Louise
I am so thankful that Louise allowed me to house-sit for her.  She is the sweetest person ever, picking me up at the bus station, taking me to the grocery store before her departure, and showing me around the house and how to care for the pets.  The cats take a couple of days to warm up to you, but once they do, they will love all over you and purr so loud for your enjoyment. Hector is my little sweetheart!  He was at my side the entire time; he sat beside me while I worked, my hiking partner, and kept my feet warm at night.  I have only been gone one day and miss my little friend keeping me company – I will miss him so much.  Their house is located between 2 forests, one on each side.  Walking Hector is not just walking on the street; you walk in the most beautiful forest with birds, deer, and red squirrels.  You will also see sheep, horses, and Highland cows.  Banchory is a nature paradise!  Take the time to walk to Falls of Feugh; it is worth the walk to see the salmon jumping the river to spawn!!  I hope my schedule will allow me to pet sit for them again.

Kirsty
We really enjoyed our stay sitting for Kirsty & Nigel's cats Morgan & Jensen.  They are a delightful pair of cats with quite different temperaments.   Although not the best of friends, they seem to be learning how to live together carving our their own favourite spaces in their spacious abode.    Jensen loves to play and his fast reactions certainly keep you on toes.  Morgan is the more sedate and calming creature.   Both welcomed our strokes and, by the end of the week, Morgan was sleeping on our bed and allowing Kim to brush her.  It was hard to leave them behind.
Kirsty & Nigel kindly hosted us for supper on the evening before their trip.  We immediately felt relaxed in their company and in their lovely home.   We loved our self-contained space at the top of the house which was comfortable, well-equipped and spotlessly clean.   We also appreciated being able to use the main kitchen, dining room and lounge to cook our evening meal and hang out with Morgan & Jensen in the evening.  Portland is such an interesting place and we particularly valued being so close to Church Ope Cove popping down every day to enjoy the sound of the sea.  
We would highly recommend.
Thank you to Kirsty & Nigel for giving us this opportunity and ensuring we had a lovely time.

Lena
We enjoyed our sit with Marlow and Samson. They are such sweet animals! They both greeted us as we entered the house. Marlow’s tail was wagging and Samson immediately rolled to his side. Samson enjoys gentle pets, makes the sweetest noises and was on my lap before the days end. The next night he chose Maty’s lap. They both slept in the bedroom with us Marlow on his bed on the floor and Samson curled up between our feet or resting against my legs. Marlow loved his walks and was super mellow and relaxed in between. 

We didn’t get the chance to meet Lena in person but she gave us a thorough tour of the house during our video chat. There wasn’t access to any written information but we were able to remember where things were pretty well. Lena’s house is beautiful in a walkable area in East Nashville. We stayed in the spacious and bright upstairs area. They set us up in the guest room upstairs with the bathroom down the hall. They are adding a back porch so it was a bit noisy due to that but when the construction crew wasn’t there it was very peaceful and serene. Thank you Lena for having us. We are grateful for our time with Marlow and Samson.
