Kelsey was great to deal with from the very beginning. We had updates through the sit, and our place was neat and tidy on our return. Our cat had been well looked after and seemed none the wiser that we had been away. I would recommend Kelsey for any sit and looking forward to having her back in the future. Thanks Kelsey
Just returned from a great stay at Fran and Jon's lovely home. They were the perfect hosts, communication beforehand was excellent, and I joined them and their family for a lovely meal the evening before. Poppy is adorable and has a lovely nature, although sometimes reluctant to go for a walk but it was very hot. But on other occasions, she'd happily keep walking across the fields. Fudge is quite independent exploring the lovely garden and fields but very sweet and chatty. I would thoroughly recommend this sit to anyone who would love a great relaxing stay in a beautiful home and location. With the added bonus of a really nice summerhouse, the pool of course, and an exilerating zip wire! I would jump at the chance to return if the opportunity arrived. Thankyou.
Wow, where to begin?! This was truly the most wonderful sit. Ann and Chris are incredibly kind hosts. They took me for a lovely meal when I arrived in Brigg and ensured I would be very comfortable in their home. They provided a detailed welcome pack, leaving no questions unanswered and, even though they were in a different time zone, their communication during the sit was second to none and I loved receiving photos of their adventures. Their house is spacious, clean and oh so peaceful! It has the perfect balance of being close to nature while being only a short drive to an array of shops. There are nearby neighbours too, so it isn’t at all isolated. Bella, Benj and Bill are such sweet cats and great company! They never failed to keep me entertained with their antics. Bella is a teeny, playful cat, who adores being stroked and curiously followed me around from the start. Bill is fluffy, affectionate and gentle (to humans, not mice!) and adores his food. Benjamina is a little more hesitant and reserved, but I made it my mission to befriend her and she was soon coming to me for cuddles and sleeping by my feet. It was a joy to see her coming out of her shell and being comfortable around the new person in her house! All three cats are a joy to spend time with and I will miss them dearly. All in all, this was a wonderful, restful housesit in a gorgeous location with amazing hosts and three of the loveliest cats I’ve ever met. Thank you, Chris and Ann and I hope you will consider me for future sits as I would love to be reunited with the three Bs! xx
I had such a lovely time looking after Pancake for 10 days and would highly recommend this sit for anyone who wants to be around a fluffy furball in a cozy house in East London. Pancake is very easy to take care of — she’s a bit timid yet such a sweetheart. Once you get to know her, she would jump up on your bed for pets. She has a sensitive stomach but not something to worry about too much. Pancake is definitely on my top rated list of cats out there that I’ve taken care of. It helps a lot that Macauley and Jen are the sweetest and kindest people as well! They are so welcoming, easy to talk to and their house is very cute and comfortable. Also their location is superb for exploring anywhere in London. Very convenient for transportation and food — many bus stops down the street (Everything you want to explore in London is within 1 hour), cool coffee shop/pub/venue and even an asian grocery store are just around the corner. I loved spending my time in Macauley & Jen’s with Pancake and if opportunity arises, would sit again on a heartbeat :)
Loved looking after Tutu. Such a sweet bunny and easy to care for. Mary’s condo is absolutely beautiful and in a great location for anything in Toronto. Highly recommend!
We thoroughly enjoyed our 6 night sit looking after Drizzle and Wallis. Lovely cats who settled in with us well and enjoyed their time close to us combined with easy cat door access when they wanted to explore outside. We had no problem having them inside for the night in “lock down mode” as requested. We didn’t get to meet Tom and Kate but our communication before and during the sit and PDF written information covered everything we needed to know. We greatly appreciated all the extras they had written down with restaurant and local suggestions. Their home is well organized and very welcoming. We are “neat freaks” and relished the space to unpack properly, lots of room in the fridge for our own food and even a whole shelf in the food cupboard for our use!. Great location and homeowners. We would not hesitate to come back and any sitter who has the opportunity to look after Drizzle and Wallis should consider themselves fortunate.
We had such a wonderful time sitting for Ellie and Henry. These two pups are so loving with great personalities. Tom and Becca are great hosts, as well. Their home is lovely and they are extremely welcoming. We had a wonderful time at this sit and we would definitely sit for them again!
