Paula is a lovely lady to know and we are happy to have had her for our vakation this summer. She really did an exellent work, both with our cat family, and also in or quite wild "sortofgarden". Paula and I did our first whatsapp - deciding chat and after that we had an open channel for further questions updates andshort videos/pics until the startday. Paula made secure to be here in time by coming to Stockholm the day before arriving here. She is very well organized so we immediatley felt that we could be perfectly safe with her taking care of our gang. Our 3 cats are quite different personalities and also sometimes can be not so easy to please if they don't just get things in their (3 different) way. Nevertheless when they accepts the new person, they quickly adopt a new carer, and I think all the 3 of them accepted Paula almost directly. Maybe it was helpful that Paula brougt each of them a lovely catnip toy gift, wich indeed still seems to be one of the favourites. Paulas professional caring eye alerted us about our oldest cat who seemed very thirsty and drunk a lot of water for a period. At the time it was very hot here, so we decided just to observe her for a few days. Drinking often is just normal for our eldest, so luckily nothing was wrong with her this time. Also she provided our oldie special care for food. A "please-do not disturbe when eating time" because our youngest can be quite irritating and disturbing the others when try to eat. The work of a professional cat sitter. When Paula left the house was top cleaned, bedlinings in the washer and everything just as we left it. Also our sort of garden with many flowering pots were just lovely, wich made us understand Paula also is an exellent gardener. We certanlay would love to have Paula back again and she has our best rekommendations. We surely hope to welcome her back whenever she has the opportunity. Thank you Paula and best wishes from us Ylva and Burt

Minna and Avner are both very sweet, genuine and nice. They are organized, attentive and clean. They have done an amazing job caring for our wonderful dogs and home. We are very pleased with how the home looked when we returned and Emma and Pancho both seemed very content and peaceful. We were able to have a very relaxing and stress-free holiday thanks to them! I highly recommend Minna and Avner for the care of your home and pets any day!

Brittany’s home was warm and welcoming as were her animals, Rainie Mae and Boyle. Rainie was so sweet and wanted lots of pets which was fine by me because I have lots of pets to give!! Boyle is more independent as cats tend to be and would come around for a pet or two when he wanted, also very sweet. 
This was a joy of a sit and I would definitely recommend it here if you are coming to Seattle. I plan to visit again!

Easiest kitties ever is an accurate statement! The ginger boys like to be near, but aren't desperate for attention.  A tickle under the chin is always appreciated, however!
We loved our stay at Jenny's. She gave us a really warm welcome and made sure we'd be completely comfortable for our stay.  We really enjoyed walking the neighbourhood streets and checking out the many international food options in the area.  Noticed a public library as well just down the street.  Jenny is a wonderful host and I'd highly recommend this sit to anyone.

Buff
We have had a fantastic time with Pippin in Buff's beautiful house.
Communication before, during and after the sitting was faultless and Buff made us feel very welcome during the handover. Buff goes to great lengths to ensure that the sitter is completely comfortable, providing a good detailed Welcome Pack, walks, leaflets and brochures. Space is provided in the fridge, freezer, pantry, wardrobe and drawers. 
All the appliances are easy to use.
I can hear Pippin nudging me saying "What about me?" You were the star, of course. She is extremely well behaved in the house, in cafes, on and off lead and even around cyclists on the river walks. We enjoyed our walks with her including some ball throwing, she is a delight in all of the many coffee shops, welcoming all of the attention that she attracted.
We fully recommend this sitting and we hope that we can meet both Pippin and Buff again

Jennifer
Watching Pepper was one of the best weeks we've had on our travels. Both Jennifer and her husband were SO welcoming and friendly, and it's easy to fall in love with Pepper the second you see her. 

Jennifer is right when she says it's one of the easiest sits you'll ever do - Pepper is precious and a total city dog so she does her business on her pad inside and mostly just wants to cuddle. We went out and about to see the city at points, but also made sure to spend plenty of time hanging out, watching TV, or working on our laptops with her (she of course wanted to help and made sure to sit in my lap while I was typing). 

She slept in the (very comfortable) bed with us each night, sometimes choosing the middle, sometimes picking one of us, but always easy to shift over if you need to and definitely a peaceful night's sleep with her. 

The apartment is beautiful and on a very safe street and Jennifer has the best list of local food places. Easy and fast transport links to Manhattan too. 

If you get the chance to sit for Jennifer, definitely do it!

Margaret
We had a really beautiful time with Buster and Lucy!! 🐶 The both are so cute and we fell so much in love with them. 😍 Margaret has a big beautiful garden and a pool (so refreshing at hot days 😊). We immediately felt very comfortable. The house is well located. We rented two bikes and everything was nearby (20 minutes to the beach and to downtown Chiclana). Nearby is also a really big park (Chiclana Park) for long walks with the dogs 😊🐶 We can highly recommend this Housesit and would love to come back! 😍

We have a great time sitting for the three loving, irresistible dogs. They totally enjoyed having us sit on one of the porches of their lovely home while they entertained us with their antics in the large yard. We would definitely sit with them again!
