Margo
The headline from the ad ..."Quiet. Leafy. Safe. Cool. Comfortable. Pool/gym. Near city & beach"... is 100% true! Margo and Charles are very warm, thoughtful, caring, and genuine people and their dogs are absolutely lovely - we are really going to miss them. Talk about all 3 with friends and family like they are our furry kids. To be in Doha during the world cup was a wonderful adventure and we enjoyed every day. Especially the invitation to enjoy one game was a present from Margo and Charles that we will never forget.
Words don't convey how wonderful both are.  From the very beginning, when they confirmed our sit without any question, the communication was great. Margo prepared a cute, one-of-a-kind, but very organized welcome guide. Both picked us up and also dropped us at the airport when we went back to Germany. 
Thank you so much and we hope to see you again.
And for other housesitters- take the chance, you will enjoy the opportunities with all five.

Lucky us to have had a dream sit at Carolines.
Two cats, who loved the company and of course food and lots of sleep, giving us the opportunity to explore.
A great spot, very close to the trendy Portobello Road and Notting Hill market. 
Plus the city and parks aren't that far away either. 

Made to feel very welcome on arrival, spent an extra night so I got the ins and out of the home and cats.
Communicated enough without being over the top.
All in all, a fabulous sit with the New Year thrown in...lucky us.
Thanks Caroline, hope that your first THS experience will encourage you to use again and again.

Lucinda and Robert's family of dogs and cats are a pleasure to get to know.
They are so much fun and taking care of these three great personalities is easy due to the large grounds and proximity of the Donadea Forest.
I love their company! And their owners are pretty great too!

Carol and Rob live on a beautiful 32-acre small holding,  just outside the town of Edgewood, New Mexico. 
The house itself is huge. Fully equipped with everything a house sitter could desire.  Being South African’s as Carol and Rob are, we felt like we were back home, at a safari lodge. 

Carol invited us to stay a few nights before they left so she could show us how to look after the horses and familiarise us with their daily activities. We were fortunate enough to stay in the yurt for these nights which was an experience all on its own. 

Carol also went out of her way to fetch us from the airport when we arrived, did a quick shop along the way and treated us to delicious dinner every evening – we really appreciated it. 

The town of Edgewood is about a 15-minute drive from the small holding and is situated on the historic Route 66. Exploring Route 66 is a must if you are fortunate enough to secure this sit. Carol lent us her car during our stay which enabled us to not only explore the historic Route 66 but also visit the numerous attractions in and around Albuquerque and this allowed Zara to explore the area with us.

Laddie and Gambler are the two most adorable,  gentle, beautiful horses.  Laddie especially likes to “cuddle” you. You will need to set some time aside daily to feed and clean up for the boys which they do appreciate.  P.S.  Take carrots with you for lunchtime treats.

Zara is the cutest Border Collie who enjoys her “humans” company. She will ensure you are up timeously each morning to feed her brothers…….and of course her. 
She will wait patiently in the stables while you feed the boys before going on her walk and breakfast/dinner. 

Zara also loves going on excursions into the mountains.  We were so fortunate to have some cooler days to explore with her, as the summer months are hot. We took her to a puppy park just outside Albuquerque.  This was her first visit to this park and she did a great job.  She did so many zoomies with her new friends.

Zara does not enjoy loud noises so we kept her inside when there was thunder and lightning around.

Carol and Rob were also very generous during our stay and we really wanted for nothing. We had a lot of fun on this sit and learned a lot about horses and looking after them. We also got to drive the four-wheel Mule around the small holding which made getting around much quicker and easier. Rob has a well-equipped workshop which is great for any ad-hoc maintenance that may be needed.

A final thank you to Carol and Rob for everything you guys did for us to make our stay so memorable and “lekker”. 

Ons het die beste tyd ooit gehad.
Hoop om julle binnekort in Suid-Afrika te sien.  :-)

Groete

Can't recommend this house sit enough - Christine was extremely kind, welcoming, and made sure I feel 'at home' for the two weeks I've stayed in Mersch. Upon arrival I was given all the instructions on how to take care of the pets and the house, though neither of these required much effort as the maid would take care of the duties when she was there (most of the days throughout working hours). This meant that I mainly just experienced all of the benefits of being with the pets - and just enjoying the reading time with them lying next to me, cuddling them, or spoiling them with snacks. Heaven :) 

I was charmed by a welcome guide that was placed on a table in my room which summarised all the info that I needed to know throughout the stay. This guide helped to focus my conversations with Christine on daily photo updates on Theo's growing up progress which was super intense throughout these two weeks. Christine was always very responsive when we exchanged messages and made sure I have everything I needed to make the most of my time in Luxembourg.

We had an amazing time housesitting in Arroyo Seco! Christie's place is beautiful and had the best cat (Archie) we ever met. He is super chill, loving, and a lot of fun.

Christie is so inviting, trusting, and made us feel extremely comfortable housesitting and caring for her plants. We are so grateful to you for letting us stay!
