This was my first time having a stranger stay at my place, so this was a big deal for me. I had a good feeling about Kyle from the start and was excited about the idea of helping a fellow Bostonian see the unparalleled city of Austin. Like me, he works from home in the healthcare industry. I had the privilege of meeting Kyle on the first day of the sit. I found him to be friendly, funny, and affable. As this was my first time having a sitter, I texted Kyle details of the apartment and pet care as I thought of them. I appreciated him baring with me through this as I am working to now compile a user-friendly guide. Kyle was sure to communicate frequently. He updated me often about his arrival and departure and also sent pictures of himself with Gypsy during the stay. He also gave me a heads up about having someone over. The only questions he had were about the laundry, which evidently was the one thing I didn't go over. He was self-sufficient and attentive to the fine details of the apartment and the care of my cat. Kyle relieved the stress of stress of separation anxiety my cat goes through when left alone, therefore relieving me of inevitable guilt. My cat seemed to be at ease when I returned home. I could tell she missed me, but she did not seem stressed whatsoever! As Kyle promised, the apartment was not only just as clean as I left it, but cleaner. I have a bad habit of stuffing my recycling underneath the sink and procrastinating the removal. I was pleasantly surprised to find Kyle emptied the whole thing. In this he must have discovered I'm a beer drinker because he also left me a 6 pack! Not only this, but he left a bunch of food, which is great because I'll eat anything you leave in my apartment. Would absolutely have Kyle again. Highly recommend him to give you and your pets ease when traveling.

Dasha is a fantastic host! She was very helpful and organised pre/during the sit which made me feel extremely comfortable throughout my stay. Abby is also a wonderful cat!

Hilary
We were 10 days in the care of Roxie. She is very kind and her care has been very easy and pleasant. Hilary's apartment is very well located and easily accessible for public transport.
We were very happy to spend our time together with Roxie while Hilary was away from home.

Kurt
Staying with Bear and Moose was an absolute delight. Despite their contrasting personalities, Bear and Moose instantly made me feel at home with their unique charms. Bear, the energetic and well-trained pup, kept me on my toes with his playful antics, while Moose, the laid-back and affectionate companion, was always there for a comforting cuddle.

Kurt and Julie were exceptional hosts, making communication effortless and ensuring that my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Their welcoming demeanor created a warm and inviting atmosphere, making it easy to settle in and feel right at home. 

Nestled in a serene and peaceful area, their home provided the perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Just a short distance away, Jackobsburg recreation park offered a picturesque escape with its abundance of trails, allowing me to immerse myself in nature and unwind with a good book by the water.

Overall, my time dog sitting Bear and Moose was a truly memorable experience. I couldn't have asked for better hosts or more delightful canine companions. I highly recommend Kurt and Julie's home for anyone seeking a tranquil getaway with the added joy of furry friends.

Amanda (Mouse)
Lovely large house with mod cons and even an upright piano! Very much in the heart of the country although so near Basingstoke. A lot of walking trails nearby and a nice characterful gastropub in easy walking distance (worth noting that nearest shop is a short drive/half-hour walk away). Some nice pubs in nearby Old Basing too. Mouse was very clear with both written instructions and showing me around. And Woody was lovely company – a really sweet dog who likes to be around you lots – and we enjoyed some long pottering walk together. Highly recommended.

Ramona
We were so lucky to have come to Ramona and Joshua's home in Engen, to look after Lumin, for our first house sit. Having done a lot of house sits themselves, they immediately made us feel comfortable and at home. 

We arrived a few days early and spent that time getting to know them, and Lumin and her routines. We also met a few of their friends, and Ramona gave us a comprehensive list of contacts should we need any assistance while they were away. 

Lumin is a delightful dog. She was easy to care for and loved to get out to walk through the town or the nearby hills. She slept in her crate in our room and made no fuss when it was time to go to bed, and she wouldn't get up until the second one of us was out of bed each morning.
We had our own good sized bedroom with our own ensuite, which is always a plus.

The kitchen is well appointed and we enjoyed cooking lots of meals there.

Engen is a beautiful old town with lots of interesting old architecture and the people are very friendly.

We also had lots of fun sending pictures and notes back and forth with Ramona and Joshua while they were away.

We would highly recommend this house sit!

We looked after Lola over the weekend and had a nice time exploring the local area like the woods, Ruislip Lido, and going to the high street. Jen was very welcoming and communicative and the home was spotless and homey. Located conveniently about 8-10 min walk from Northwood Station. 
Lola is a lovely dog who loves a good walk and especially playing fetch. She warmed up to us quickly and we will miss. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend looking after Lola
