Maria and Lucien were fantastic housesitters - communication before, during and after was excellent. Lu took charge of feeding Chicca, the only dog, while Maria fed the cats. Our mature female cats are primarily indoor cats and easy. Maria had the tough job of persuading our three timid indoor/outdoor boys to come for meals (timid = run for the hills around anyone other than us). Amazingly, they adjusted to Maria before we left and were willing to come indoors at dinner time. This is the first time they have followed their routine with sitters, so I was both astonished and grateful. Our outdoor cats (two tame and six wild) also followed their routines, with the two tame ones coming to Maria for meals. They handled everything else well too- the house was at least as clean as we left it and our plants survived. Lu persuaded us that he really likes doing minor repairs, so we gave him a list and he fixed at least half a dozen things we hadn’t gotten to! We were delighted that they enjoyed our home and area so much, and were very gratified to hear of their explorations of the local shops and attractions. And another plus- We fixed dinner for them the day they arrived, and Maria fixed dinner for us all the evening we returned. She also left us several delicious meals of leftovers! We recommend them highly!
