Kent and Hanrich are wonderful people! They made me feel at home the moment I walked in. Highly recommend this sit as Mathilda is a sweetie too. She’s calm and was always eager for food time after our short and sweet walks. It was a pleasure having the opportunity to care for Mathilda and their home. Thank you so much again for making my holiday a joy 😊

Eric & Kathleen are simply the best! They have the most adorable, loving animal family, all of whom will steal your hearts. From the first time we meet Eric & Kathleen, they were so warm and welcoming, we felt like instant friends and so comfortable with them and in their home. We communicated almost everyday, giving them updates on their babies and chatting about their travels. We really enjoyed our interactions, such beautiful people whom we hope to continue to grow in friendship with. They have an exciting future ahead of them for sure! 

Moose, Lil Ro, and Ernest will forever be in our hearts; we have built such a loving connection with them all and still talk about their silly and cute little attitudes and behaviors! gaaaaa! 

Moose is such a love bug, will follow you all around the house, cuddle up next to you whenever he can, and sleep with you too! Boris enjoyed playing "soccer" with him; he would have us laughing and laughing......ahhhh Moose! :-) He ensured we got our daily exercise in with walks down to the fisherman's bay or the gorgeous oceanfront, and was a hit around the town. People would honk and wave :) He has the most loving, loyal personality and you can't help but love him up all day! It was sure hard to leave him, but knowing he was with his parents getting all the love in the world, made it bearable. :D 

Lil Ro is a big cuddly kitty. He would walk with us halfway on our walks and cuddle up on our laps for movie time, purring as we pet him, and slept most of the day in our bed. Such a big ole sweetheart; we loved his affection. 

Ernest, the regal cat, earned the endearing name "grandpa". He has some issues jumping up and his voice nearly gone, but Kathleen taught us how to pay attention to his needs by his behaviors. We were able to modify some things for him to allow him greater access to food, etc and did everything we could to ensure he was as comfortable as possible. We just adored him entirely and enjoyed watching him enjoy his pleasures in life, like drinking the running water out of the sink or walking around outside in the warm sunlight. He took some time to warm up to us but once he did he was as cuddly as ever and would sleep right by our head! haha We love him to bits! 

Lastly, the house is so comfortable. Kathleen & Eric were so generous in making us feel warm and welcome in their beautiful home. We settled in nicely, had everything we needed, and enjoyed every moment. They have the most gorgeous yard, aka "the sanctuary", where we were able to learn about different plants and enjoyed doing some weeding and pruning, very therapeutic. 

Our experience with Kathleen, Eric, and their fur babies was absolutely perfect. We enjoyed all the love, the beautiful location with quick access to the bay and ocean, the neighbors, and visiting the nearby towns. What a gem of a sit. Would love to visit again :)

These two, Oscar and Scarlett, are a wonderful pair of companions situated in a beautiful house and pleasant neighborhood near Golden. Oscar is a wonderful, big love bug who enjoyed resting with me in the sunshine. Scarlett is independent by nature but she did often seek me out (what is this girl up to?) and even invited some pets which was very exciting for me. :D

I loved the proximity to Lookout Mountain Park and the natural light in the house is amazing. Charlotte was such a kind and hospitable host as well. Highly recommend this sit.

We had a wonderful stay with Darla in New Orleans! Joe and Ali have a beautiful home in a great location - just a 10 minute bike to the French Quarter. We truly felt at home and were grateful for all the local recommendations. Darla was a dream to look after! She welcomed us immediately and was so loving and well-behaved. Would highly recommend house sitting if you get the chance :)

Really enjoyed our time on the edge of the forest in Crowborough looking after Pusspuss & Molly two stunning jet black cats! Near to Winnie the Pooh country too! Very peaceful location within 5 minutes of a well resourced town. Jane & Alex made us feel very welcome, gave clear instructions. Highly recommend this house and pet sit.

Fiona
The static caravan stay at Fiona, Jake, and their family's farm in Cornwall was a truly wonderful experience. From the moment we were accepted for this sit, communication was excellent, and we appreciated the warm welcome and thorough rundown of responsibilities before settling in! Fiona really went above and beyond by providing fresh eggs, bread, milk, croissants, jam, and other essentials, which was a lovely touch :)

The caravan itself was cozy, clean, and inviting, with a little electric fireplace, a lovely outdoor deck to relax and take in the stunning fields' view. It was conveniently located, just a short drive from beautiful beaches, countryside walks, and local shops, making it an ideal getaway spot.

Our time with the sweet and affectionate Eddy was the absolute best. She was calm, well-behaved, and joined us on all our excursions, including exploring beaches, parks and nearby villages. Her recall was fantastic, and we thoroughly enjoyed her company.

The opportunity to experience farm life, collecting fresh eggs from the chickens in the morning, feeding the hungry sheep and lambs, and even bottle-feeding the adorable lamb Shelly was a highlight of our stay. We also cared for two easy-going tortoises, Pineapple and Coconut, who loved their greens and basking under their little heat lamps.

Overall, we had an exceptional experience and cannot recommend this sit enough. Thank you, Fiona, Jake, and family, for welcoming us into your home and farm. We would love to come back again soon and hope to be considered for future sits!
