I was so impressed with how well Saul cared for our pups and our home. He kept us updated on the dogs with pictures. The house looked great when we returned. Saul is great and he will take great care of your pets.

Susana
Susana was a very friendly, communicative, and accommodating pet owner. She made the space feel clean, homey, and even left a few welcoming treats. Mlky and Roger were easy to care for and are quite independent. There were minor scheduling changes needed on both ends and our mutual flexibility enabled us to navigate them smoothly.

Andra
The communication with Andra was uncomplicated and straight forward. The arrangement to get to their place in Zurich was settled in short time. Their place is located in such a strategic location that city center and main to-visit areas are reachable by foot or by tram. Tram is only few minutes away. 

Taking care of Kaya and sushi was extremely easy as well. Kaya is such a lovely fluffy cute dog that everyone wanna pet her whenever we walk her! She loves attention and playing with you :) Sushi is pretty quiet, but in general we had fun staying with him and sometimes he will meow us to get some attention. Cute :D

In short, we highly recommend anyone to house/pet sit with Andra & Adrian. They are easy going, reachable & responded fast despite on holiday, and being able to stay with Kaya and sushi was for us a sweet holiday as well in Zurich!

Valli was warm and welcoming.  This was our first time sitting for large parrots but Valli gave us confidence we could be successful on our weekend stay.  And Valli was very responsive when we texted with questions.

Valli even took time at the airport to give us a page of recommendations for fun things to do.  We booked a "Shelling Boating Adventure" with Treasure Seeker and collected the most amazing shells from nearby islands.  

Valli's family includes three magnificent parrots. Sammy is the bebopper - music gets her (and us) dancing.  Scotty is super happy to sit in the pool tree each day and watch the world go by.  Ava is the queen of the flock. I must have made her nervous because she pinched my knuckle which surprised me. (Of course, Ava could have really hurt me but did not - a testament to Ava's patience!) 

The pinch made me nervous about letting the birds out since I would have to handle them to get them back in the cages.  Luckily, Valli told us before leaving that since our sit was only a few days, we did not have to let them out if we didn't want to.  When Valli checked in later that night, I shared my experience. Valli coached me via text and put me back on a good track for letting the parrots out the next day.

Since we planned a lazy day of girl talk, we let the parrots out early.  Ava flew down and immediately climbed up one of the dining room wicker chairs and stayed.  Sammy stayed on top of his cage.  I carried Scotty outside to the tree. 

After lunch, Sammy and Scotty were a breeze to put back in their cages.  I offered Ava the stick to step on and she bit it, so I texted Valli.  She suggested showing Ava some treats and putting them in her dish and then Ava should climb right in.  I did the treat trick but she did not climb down, so I offered her the stick a few times until about 4pm and asked for more help.  Valli advised Ava doesn't like the stick and would just step on my arm if I put it behind her.  It worked and Ava climbed right in. 
Unfortunately, when climbing up, Ava's beak put a small mark on the wicker chair back.  And a day of sitting on the chair created a poopy mess on the chair and floor which cleaned up fairly easily except for the wicker. (I shared pics with Valli.)

FYI:  Parrot vocalizations are loud.  We found using earplugs cut the parrot decibels down to a more normal level and still allowed us to chat with each other inside.  (If you are working onsite, you will want to work from bedroom or outside as the parrots love to join in the conversations!)

Valli's family also includes Fergus the dog who is the perfect ambassador of Love.  Fergus is always ready for company and cuddles and kisses! You would never believe he's over ten years old, partially blind and extremely hard of hearing. Valli encouraged us to put Fergus on the couch at night.  Fergus loves to snuggle on the couch near you but doesn't always judge getting down carefully.  
At one point, Fergus jumped off the couch and could not get up. He flailed around like a turtle. When I helped him to his feet, he could not stand on his left front leg.  While he was not crying or yelping at all it was evident he could not stand.  Talk about scary!  
I called for help and Valli had her neighbors rush over.  Not sure what happened, but within 10 minutes Fergus was walking (slight limp at first) but was obviously fine.  Thank goodness!    

Valli's home is exactly as shown in the pictures - spacious and beautiful in a lovely community.  Just minutes from Bonita Beach and the Gulf beaches.  Her big living room windows and pool face west for spectacular sunsets each night.  There are plenty of shopping/grocery/dining options nearby.  

Can't thank Valli enough for taking a chance on us!

James
We loved hanging out with Rizzo! She is truly such a sweet dog. She loves a cuddle, is really good with people and is the perfect working from home companion. Rizzo has a few triggers when walking, but James showed us lots of good tricks to manage them and we quickly found a good rythme. James and Ryan’s place itself is absolutely lovely. Great location near loads of parks and public transport. The house is super comfortable and feels like an air bnb. James was a dream to communicate with and left a big house guide with everything you could want to know about Rizzo, the place and the neighbourhood. Thanks so much for having us James & Ryan!
