Crystal is a very sweet and kind person and I liked her a lot when she came in to meet Zazu and I. I could see straight away that Zazu liked her and For me the most important thing on these sits is that Zazu is safe and happy and that my flat is well taken care off. And Crystal did that. This being said, there’s a few points I’d like to mention. As she knows, there was a bit of miscommunication on the check in day which meant Crystal arrived later than I had wanted and Zazu was alone longer than I wished, so I take the lesson to be more clear about it in next sits. I also wouldn’t have minded if Crystal had sent me more updates (like once a day) but I didn’t feel too good asking for it as I didn’t want to disturb her. Also, one day Crystal locked herself out with Zazu and luckily my neighbours were around and had a spare key, but very often they are not and that would have been a stressful time for Crystal to resolve it as during Christmas time I didn’t have anyone around with a spare key set. Finally, something that bothered me a little bit was that when I got home Zazu’s water bowl was totally empty, and of course that’s a big issue for me and it made me wonder how long it had been empty for. I am sure it was just an innocent slip mistake but quite an important one to not happen again. Overall, Crystal was a lovely person but I did wish all these little hiccups wouldn’t have happened.

Karissa
What a blessing ❤️ Karissa and Lindbergh, thank you for the warmth and space of your home, alongside the love from sweet Kitty. Karissa was such a light, clear, easy going and consistant communicator. On top of her gracious, thoughtful ways of being, she really went above and beyond to share with me favorite spots and events that she knew I would be interested in exploring while visiting Long Beach, including morning yoga on the beach (which was incredible). Kitty really was a gentleman + natural  adventurer. I loved getting to know him and observe him in his daily doings. Whenever he wanted to connect with me, he would plop down at my feet, with the softest, big belly and loudest pur. Petting Kitty is like petting a cloud. I loved that he would sit outside on the patio with me at anytime of the day or night. the neighborhood is so quiet and friendly…it felt so nourishing returning home after leaving. truly thank you Karissa + Lindbergh….the life and home you have both created is such a gift and I will miss Kitty. continued thoughts and I hope to connect with you again next time I’m in Long Beach. cheers xxx

Had a lovely time housesitting for the Castles. Milo is a sweet-natured and well behaved dog it was a pleasure to have him as company. The house is cosy and has everything you might need and is located in a leafy suburb not too far from the city centre that's still accessible by public transport or a short drive into town. Thank you!

Jill & Wayne
I really enjoyed my stay at Jill and Waynes warm and comfortable house. They are a very friendly and welcoming couple who greeted me with a tasty homemade curry - thanks Wayne! The boys, Charlie B and Billy are absolutely adorable, and I grew very fond of them.  Walking the dogs was quite the adventure (Billy is an anxious little fella), leaving no lampost or wall unscented. Ella the cat was kind enough to say hello at feeding times (she's an outdoor kitty) and was very low maintenance. The house is in a nice location with lots of greenery and grocery shops very close by. Communication was excellent while they were away, and I enjoyed hearing about their trip. I would highly recommend looking after Charlie, Billy and Ella, and staying in Jill and Waynes lovely home. Thanks for having me! (though I'm secretly hoping you'll go away again soon..)  :)

Had a great time with Niko in Copenhagen! He is such a sweet boy and we learned to love him so much over the week! 

He is so soft and cuddly always wanting to play and hang out with us, even cuddling at night :) 

Barith was a great host she made sure we would have everything we needed and answered any questions I had about Niko and the home. Her flat is also located right next to a metro station and made getting into central so easy!

Loved our time with Niko and would definitely come back if we have the time!!

Sharon and Geoff are a great couple and fantastic hosts. Everything was as detailed  in the listing. Nothing could be faulted. Sitting their pets was a pleasure and the closeness of services, shops, pubs etc were all within easy walking distance.
I highly recommend them both and their pets for any future sitters.

Had a wonderful time in Ellen and Jacob’s cozy home and great neighborhood. Montana is such a well behaved sweetie and we couldn’t have asked for a nicer sit!
