Susan and Jim were amazing sitters for my 2 boys whilst I went to Portugal to play golf. Communication we had prior to the sit was excellent, and we were able to discuss the dogs in detail. They arrived the day before I was due to leave so we were able to have a good handover. They really looked after the dogs well, and my house was immaculate when I returned. I can't recommend them highly enough, just wished they lived in the UK so I could use them on a regular basis. Thank you Susan and Jim xx
Miranda and Rodrigo are a warm and welcoming couple with a lovely, bright apartment in a great location. Walking to get groceries, dinner or exploring Fernwood were within a 10-20 minute walk. Opaline was very relaxed and a bit shy but let us know her needs with a meow or a rub. She enjoyed her time outside but, smarty pants that she is, understood 'the code' [a red toolbox moved in front of the door] when going out wasn’t allowed. Communication back and forth was prompt and easy. We would be very happy to return for another sit with Opaline at any time!
Buster is a wonderful dog with such a fabulous personality so my housesit was fun from start to finish. He thoroughly enjoys his walks in nearby parks and is very obedient when off the lead. It was very helpful to arrive the night before Catherine left so we could walk together with Buster as well as discussing his daily needs too. There was excellent communication from Catherine, before I arrived, which is always helpful in preparation for moving into their home for a short period of time. Since the housesit, I have been to watch Buster at one of his many agility competitions which is clearly enjoys - a rosette/cup winning Buster. Thanks again Catherine - lovely to meet you and Buster.
Angeles and Ernesto, along with their little Merluza, kindly welcomed me into their very cozy and artsy apartment, and I had a blast! The surroundings are stunning, and the location is in the historic old town of Girona. We communicated effortlessly; both are welcoming and laid-back yet organized people, and I didn't feel like anything was missing! I enjoyed chatting with them the day we met in person and exchanging travel experiences. My stay was more than pleasant, and Merluza made it even better with her little shenanigans around the house and her charming personality. She is deaf, so I adjusted my manners accordingly, but besides this, there was literally no fuss around her. She is a very well-socialized and laid-back kitty. I can only say I am very happy to have been picked for this housesitting occasion and recommend them wholeheartedly to every fellow housesitter! Thank you for having me!
House and pet sitting for PJ and Kat was such a delight. We arrived at their property on the morning of their departure and they worked really hard with us to give us all the information we needed. PJ helped us get our luggage upstairs and showed us where everything was located. I hold a huge amount of respect and admiration for both PJ and Kat as they were doing all of this whilst getting their 3 children (and themselves) ready to travel. The instructions for taking care of their pup Skye were very clear and helpful and allowed us to keep up with her training whilst they were away. Their house was spotless and extremely comfortable to stay in. It's also pretty close to a local store for groceries and lots of places deliver. All in all, this was a housesit that we thoroughly enjoyed and would love to have the opportunity to do again in the future. Jennifer and Jera
An absolute joy from the moment we arrived until the end. Maple, Sophie and Twinkie are just so sweet and smart! We would be thrilled to sit for Carly and the family again in a heartbeat. So grateful for her and the whole family:-)
Ziggy is the sweetest dog and doodle is the cutest hampster. The house is very inspiring and theres lots of books and a great kitchen with aga! Everything is close by with lovely walks over battersea park to the thames. The family were so kind and easy going. I would highly recommend the experience of staying here and knowing these pets.
