Corrin
This was a comfortable sit with 2 lovely cats, in a great location. Corrin left all the instructions I needed to care for the cats and duties around the house. The cats were easy to look after and enjoyed my company. The house is located within easy access to lots of restaurants, cafes and a cinema. Cardiff city centre is also very near. I would recommend this sit.

We really enjoyed our sit looking after Crunchie, Chester, Mango and the fish! Katie and Jo made us feel so welcome to their lovely home and communication prior to the sit was great. Katie’s lift from the train station was greatly appreciated. The house is modern and comfortable with everything we needed, including a pool, and is very well situated only 7-8 minutes walk to beautiful Bulli beach and ten minutes from the town with its large supermarket and amazing bakery. 
Crunchie is an absolute treasure and very loving; it’s a joy to watch her bounding along the beach with the other dogs and playing in the surf. We will miss her very much. Chester and Mango are entertaining house cats with distinct personalities; they took a little time to trust us but then liked to be close. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend this sit. If we lived a bit closer we’d definitely go back! :)
Thanks Katie and Jo!

We had a short and very sweet stay with Mucki and would definitely come back ♥️ The house is lovely and super well located in Kreuzberg, AND quiet at night. Communication was clear and of course Leonie and Dave are great hosts. Thank you!

Siobhan
Siobhan was a very welcoming host! Her home is lovely and within walking distance up to the hill Knocknarea, as well as down to the sea shore. Bruce is the absolute cutest & sweetest dog! I cannot overstate his cuteness & sweetness. 
I wish I had longer to see the area. Unfortunately I got sick for a day; Siobhan was generous enough to let me stay an extra night to recover before travelling across the country. 
All in all, it was lovely & I’d love to go back some time to care for Bruce & spend more time in Strandhill. Thank you Siobhan!

We enjoyed our time with Daisy and Penny, they're very sweet pups who get along well with each other as well as the new humans who showed up on their doorstep - lots of wags and kisses from both dogs and they love to snuggle up when they sleep. 
Very sweet.  
 Michael's home is very nice and comfortable.  Plenty of towels and linens, bath supplies, wifi and AC that kept the home at a nice tempurature. The home is very clean and easy to maintain.  The lovely outdoor area is largely covered which keeps it cooler, (it was in the low 90s outside every day that we were there).  The neighborhood feels safe and is perfect for taking the pups on a walk.  Boulder City has many antique shops and cafes/restaurants to enjoy and the dogs did well when we drive into Las Vegas to meet up with family for dinner and shows.   We will definitely be looking for futuresl sits with this family and highly recommend them to others as well.  😃

I really loved this pet sit. Gina was very friendly, welcoming to her home, and clear on communication. Her home is lovely, and so clean and comfortable. I really enjoyed my time there. As for the pups, Kingston and Lola - they are SO adorable and so well behaved. They are love bugs and love to have your attention. Kingston likes to be petted and Lola, at just over one year old, wants to play ball, play ball, and play ball. After a little bit of playtime, they both take long naps during the day. There is a nice park a few blocks away that is a great place to take the pups for a stroll. I can highly recommend this pet sit opportunity to anyone who likes a great location, lovely home, and two wonderful pups.
