We had a fantastic experience from beginning to end with Veerle, a true testament to this website. Took great care of Manny and the house, gave us regular updates and made our time away in general a lot more relaxing in the knowledge she was there. We would have Veerle back and reccomed her without hesitation. Thanks again!
Lovely pet, Merlin, and very generous easy-going host. Thanks for having me!
What a wonderful experience in Monterey! Karen and Richards home is so beautiful and clean with a location just outside of downtown Monterey. Pretty much access to anything and everything you could possibly need. I felt completely comfortable at their home. Buddy was such a great companion during my stay. He is great in the car and on walks, pretty much keeps to himself. He loves to come up, sit on your lap and give little kisses. I would watch Buddy over and over again as we had such a great time together and there is still more for me to see in the area. Awesome sit!
We thoroughly enjoyed spending our trip with Lolita. There’s plenty of beautiful parks and waterside walkways to walk with her in the morning and evening. The area is beautiful and the building offers plenty so you don’t have to travel far to enjoy!
I had an amazing time looking after the gorgeous & truly unique Gatsby & Reggie, in a wonderfully located, clean & modern apartment with two excellent hosts! I'll start with Gatsby - he truly is a dog like no other - he's huge & fluffy, and his smile is as cute & comical as it looks on the pictures. Be prepared to get stopped by lots of people out on walks, as he really does draw attention due to his sheer size, looks, and playful nature. I had even had a few people videoing him! He's super excitable at first but very quickly calmed down, and is actually a really chilled dog. He can get carried away occasionally when out on walks and he sees in someone that is about to give him attention (small children especially!), but the way in which he does this is nothing but playful and people can always tell by his face and his demeanour that it is just friendly excitement! He occasionally needs reminding (on occasions such as these) not to pull, but does always respond well to a firm tug on the lead and he remembers his manners again. He is incredibly well behaved, loves a belly rub and responds extremely well to commands. I don't think he has much awareness of his size which adds to the cuteness! Reggie - ahhh, what a boy! He is equally as easy to fall in love with, especially after you've spent a day or two with him and get to know his little ways. He is also amazingly well behaved, and will often come and place his chin on your lap with the biggest and cutest puppy dog eyes I've ever seen. Reggie is the most excitable when at home generally, and will literally happily sit with you or on you all day if you let him. He loves his toys (especially his teddy!), and as soon as the leads come out for a walk he will get his teddy & do a little lap of the apartment with excitement! He also has a thing for socks, so if you lose any, Reggie has probably hidden them somewhere (though actually he usually brings them to you rather than hides them). Reggie had a bit of a poorly tummy whilst I was looking after him, but he is very good at communicating with you when he needs to go out, which is an adorable little quality of his once you get to understand his ways. Reggie also has a gorgeous smile - they should both be model dogs!!!! Both Gatsby and Reggie are excellent with commands, sit down, roll over, giving paws, go ahead (to eat food), etc etc. If you get the opportunity to look after these beauties, do not hesitate! The building has a concierge during the weekdays, Alex, who was super helpful & great to chat with too, which is nice to have. Daniella & Burak were incredible hosts - from first meeting them on a video call it was clear they were lovely and friendly people & they were very helpful, responsive and kind throughout the sit. As mentioned Reggie had a bit of an upset tummy & they were super helpful and clear with any changes/adaptions in terms of his diet etc. They also made sure that I had everything that I needed & ensured that my stay was enjoyable - which it was! Thank you both!
We had a great stay at Liz and Mark’s home, it was very comfortable and located in a lovely village. Ted, Chilli and Colin were a delight to look after. Definitely recommend this sit.
Take care of the dogs was really good, Bertie and Park are kind dogs, Anthony is so friendly. The location of the house is really good with a lot of restaurants and bars close to the house. We enjoyed 😄
