Florence is everything you want in a cat sitter! We have two cats that need a lot of human attention. One takes multiple medications twice a day and they both are used to eating on their own schedule and having people around so it is always very important to us to find a pet sitter that will be spending a lot of time in the apartment and that doesn't mind being very attentive. We were able to meet Florence before our trip and felt 100% confident that she would take great care of our cats. Florence is comfortable giving medication, she sent us photos and updates and left our apartment spotless. We were so happy that we had her come back the following week when we went away again for a short trip! We will definitely contact Florence again whenever we travel and hope that she is available!
Looking after Oslo was very enjoyable. Oslo enjoys his treats, playing with his toy, belly rubs and especially his daily walk in the botanical gardens (watch out for the lizards! Oslo gets very excited when he can smell or see one). Oslo was a little shy at first. I had to use treats to get the leash on Oslo the first few times. Once Oslo was comfortable with me, he was great company and very easy to look after. Nick & Sophie made me feel welcome in their home. The condo is very spacious and clean. There were notes about Oslo and the condo. I was shown what I needed to know for the house sit when I arrived. Everything well communicated. The condo complex is in a safe area with 24/7 security personnel. The botanical gardens is less than a 5 min walk. Nearest MRT is a 5 min walk. The closest supermarket is a 10-15 min walk or another on Orchard Rd is a 20-25min walk. I highly recommend this house sit and gladly would look after Oslo again! Cheers 😊
Beautiful house and setting. Wally is a great dog. Erin is a gracious host.
We had such a lovely time petsitting Bear and Jack. Both animals are so sweet and friendly, and we felt immediately welcome at Morna's cosy home. Bear is the most adorable and easy to care for dog - she just wanted to hang out and cuddle with us all the time. She was well behaved on her walks, including around other dogs. Jack is such a fun and relaxed character. He came along for the walk outside with us each time, and spent the rest of the day snoozing near us. It was such a fun daily routine with these two. We also were able to get out and explore the beautiful city of Leiden. It has everything you need for entertainment, including many great shops, cafes, museums, and more. Communication with Morna before and during the sit was very smooth. We had no issues and would definitely recommend this sit to any animal lover.
Sitting for Barbara and her Bo was a joy, Barbara was a great host who lives in a traditional Hawaiian home in a historic neighborhood that Rick and I look for and love to pet sit in. Walking Bo and seeing the trees, plants and flowers everywhere was so beautiful. Barbara gave us plenty of recommendations on where to go, restaurants and beaches. There's an open mall one mile away and takes about 30 minutes to walk to with a Foodland that is wonderful. We took Bo there for ice cream that he loves, he went with us to a couple of gorgeous beaches, he's playful, warmed up to us easily and he was well behaved for us the entire time. Positive experience.
Sitting for Sunshine was an amazing experience. Marga and Puma are sweet, each with their own unique personalities. Marga is an active kitten that loves to play and have attention and Puma is the most patient and sweet cat I ever met. Sunshine was an amazing host, she made sure to show me the neighbourhood and gave me all the information to make sure I enjoy my stay. She even gave me a guide for Istanbul and a metro card! Sunshine’s place is located in a perfect location to visit Istanbul. Uskudar is located in the Asian side and is full of life. Is the perfect location to experience real Istanbul and still close enough to all the touristic areas to visit the main attractions. Thank you Sunshine, I’d definitely come back if I had the chance. 😊
It was a pleasure knowing Kelly... andJosie, Otis, Tango & Ellie! All VERY well behaved and loving animals. First animals I've seen that don't beg for food. 😆 Very easy to care for and I miss them already❣️🐾🫶🐕🐈
