Katie was a fabulous sitter, and we were so thankful to have her stay with our pup. Everything with Katie was a breeze, from coordinating in the chat, to our meet-and-greet, to communication during the sit. She was responsive, flexible, considerate, proactive with questions, and her photo/video updates were a joy. She left the house better than she found it. Just a great experience all around. We do think our pup misses hers now though :p
Vanessa was an absolutely perfect housesitter! She was very responsive, reliable, and tidy – I would love to have her back anytime. Thank you for watching my pup and my home, we are grateful to you!!!
I enjoyed a wonderful fortnight with Bagel who was an absolute delight. She is super cuddly and loves to snuggle on the sofa and have tummy rubs. Mark's house is lovely, in a quiet leafy street with great walks and fantastic transport links.
Chloe's place is amazing and I absolutely love Pepper and Lucky. I had a great stay at Chloe's place and the cats are lovely to look after. Both, Pepper and Lucky are absolutely adorable, very lively, entertaining and easy to look after. Pepper follows you around and is always all over you. She comes and sits on you, cuddles you wherever you are. I loved hanging out with her on the sofa. She would either sit on me or sleep under the blanket. Lucky was always around seeking attention too, but enjoyed the company a bit more from the distance. Both will sleep with you in the bed during the night sometimes. Chloe was a great owner and host. She always made sure that me and the cats are fine, responds quickly, and happily and efficiently solves any issues that might come up. The place is beautiful, really nice decorated, very clean, great bathroom and the bed is very comfortable. If you don’t have a car, please note that it’s far from the next metro station, it takes around 45 mins by bus to get to the next station, which is Mall of Emirates, which is also a hot spot. It wasn’t a problem for me but it’s worth mentioning so you are aware. If budget allows, you can easily take a taxi to your destination. I can definitely recommend this sit and I really miss the cats. :))
What an amazing trip! We can't thank Laurie and Dave for their kindness and hospitality on this sit. We've had an amazing two weeks in Dava and honestly can't wait to come back. Laurie was really communicative from the start which made the sit so easy and just as expected. There were so many lovely, thoughtful touches which we appreciated so much - Dave kindly picked us up from the airport, there were lovely Scottish treats in the cabin for us, and of course, we were able to stay at Dava for a few more days to extend our trip even though Laurie and Dave had returned from their holiday. Thank you so much both! Laurie and Dave's home is amazing, so cosy and welcoming. We were able to use the main house but also had the luxury of our own cosy wooden cabin - it really felt much more like a holiday than a sit! The surroundings are absolutely incredible, with stunning highlands scenery - we walked and swam to our hearts' content! Our first trip to the highlands exceeded already high expectations and we can wait to return. Dave and Laurie gave excellent recommendations for places to visit/walk/swim and eat too, which was really helpful. And last but certainly not least, the pets! Holly has certainly stolen our hearts - she is such a sweet, loving dog with a cheeky little personality. We adored her and were so chuffed that she decided to spend our last night in bed with us in the cabin! She is so well-behaved and such an easy going dog - loves walking as much as you like, will happily sit in the pub while you eat lunch, good on the lead and loves cuddling up in the bed or on the sofa! And Charlie, where do we begin! Such a funny little chap, you wouldn't think he was 20 years old! He made us laugh with his deafening meow, and occasional swipe at Holly for being too excitable! He was always happy to have a lap and snuggle up on the sofa too. We loved looking after the chickens also, they were very sweet and would eat corn from my hand every morning! Having lovely fresh, free range eggs for breakfast from happy, healthy chickens was such a huge treat too! Finally, thank you so much to Laurie and Dave for the warm welcome into your home. It was lovely having dinner together on the first evening (bloody delicious too, thanks Dave!), and having a couple of drinks and a catch up when you returned from holiday. We really enjoyed getting to know you all and I really hope we get to meet again soon x
Really great sit!
I had a lovely time with Luna. She is such a sweet and adorable cat. Easy going and loving. The communication with Stacy was really easy and she was really adorable. Plus the apartment is in an excellent location with an amazing view. I had amazing days there!
We loved the short stay with Millie so much! She's a friendly, funny and adventurous pup & will shower you with love and kisses! ☺️ Taking care of her is very easy. The house is located in a very quiet suburb and absolutely beautiful - especially the outside relaxing area! Communication with Katie was easy and she even took her time to show us everything in the house and took us on a walk with Millie. ☺️ Thank you for having us!
