Richard is quite simply an outstanding house sitter. He looked after my cat Tana for a week and on our arrival home, I have never seen her quite so relaxed and chilled. I honestly don’t think she missed us at all! He sent regular updates on her welfare and I could see she was very much enjoying his company. The house too was immaculate on our return – extremely clean and tidy and and he’d obviously taken great care to ensure everything was back in its place. Communication too was excellent and I liked the fact he was independent, reliable and able to work things out for himself. We spoke on Zoom initially and I found him to be relaxed and easy to talk to with a good sense of humour. I will definitely ask for him again and very much hope he will be happy to return. Just wonderful.
Jazz was truly the perfect house- and pet-sitter. From the start, she was communicative, friendly and asked great questions that demonstrated her concern for our and our cat's needs. Her profile emphasized that she is an animal lover, and that quality was instantly clear when she met our beloved cat. He took to her immediately. While we were away, Jazz kept in regular touch, sending updates, photos and videos that reassured us our cat was in great hands. She dealt expertly with a small house hiccup -- one that was not her fault -- and let us know what had happened. She took excellent care of our home, which was spotless when we returned. She even left us a handwritten thank-you note! I feel fairly confident our cat now misses Jazz. We'd love for her to house-sit for us again, and we cannot more strongly recommend her to others.
