Kaeli
Petsitting for Harley was such a pleasure! He’s keenly intelligent and very well-trained well-behaved German Shepherd, a true joy to be around.

Harley impressed us with his well-mannered behavior both inside and outside — on lead and off. Kaeli has done an exceptional job training him. He’s trained to signal via a bell tied to the door when he needs to go out, he’s patient waiting for food and treats, he knows his commands, walks well on lead as well as has excellent recall off lead. We loved taking him to the open space nearby and the beach to play fetch and frisbee with him. We loved his playfulness in trying to retrieve coconuts and sticks to bring home from our walks around the neighborhood! 

Harley's breed requires a lot of mental stimulation so we engaged him in activities that tapped into his intelligence and working instincts. Hiding toys and treats around the apartment provided him with little jobs to do which was fun for all of us :) After a day or so he warmed up to us, showing affection and enjoying cuddles, couch time and hanging out near us while we worked. 

It was also so nice to get to know Kaeli as we met in person before she left to get acquainted — she provided us with a thorough Welcome Packet and was always responsive to our inquiries about Harley's routine and the apartment. (Thank you, Kaeli!!!)

Phu Quoc, Vietnam is also an amazing place to visit. The location of her apartment was perfect — walking distance to the beach and literally steps from the vibrant food scene and night market.

We highly recommend this sit and hope to have the opportunity to petsit Harley again in the future!

Susan
I would definitely recommend this cat sitting opportunity. Susan  was helpful and communication was easy over the phone and whatsapp Tonic, is a gorgerous cat, she loved being close to us and receiving strokes and cuddles The flat is very comfortable and great for discovering the beautiful town of Girona and the local area was full of shops, supermarkets and other attractions Overall, our experience was fantastic

Meredith
Meredith was such an incredibly kind, generous and helpful host during my housesit for her spunky cat, Luna! Any question or concern I had Meredith responded very quickly and made sure I felt right at home! Meredith even returned the favor by providing photos and videos from her vacation adventures which was a nice surprise to have! Luna is an older cat, but she is full of energy and personality! The first few days of the sit, she was shy and kept more to herself. However, by the end of the sit, we were best pals and she was hanging out with me on the coach, or sitting next to me during meal time! Meredith was very good at informing me on Luna’s quirks! Luna is very curious and is a paper fiend! She likes to nibble on toilet paper, which made it important to keep bathroom doors closed! Overall, Meredith’s place was conveniently located to multiple shopping centers, and a Bus stop is right outside the door, which was nice to have to get to the charming Charlottesville downtown area. I’d be more than happy to sit for Meredith and Ms.Luna again :)

It was a pleasure to spend time with Hope and Shakes in Heather’s beautiful apartment. The place has a super nice vibe and is very cozy! I had a great time with these most adorable kitties and would recommend this sit to any cat lovers. The place is super close to a train stop in a lovely area of BK. Many thanks to Heather for having me!

Fiona
It was an absolute pleasure looking after Chutney and Cuillin. It was our first Housesit and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Fiona and Mark were lovely and very relaxed. We had our first evening together with them so they could show us the ropes, the walks and the treats regime!! Their home is warm, comfortable and lovely. The grounds are beautiful and it is located in a really picturesque part of Dorset. We couldn’t rate our experience more highly.
