This was our first exposure to a pet/house sit and now we've likely been spoiled by the overwhelmingly positive experience! Trish was warm and hospitable picking us up from our local hotel and serving us tea following an introduction to her home and places to walk Bonnie, who is such a sweet, well-behaved dog! Cilla and Mimi often kept to themselves but looked forward to being fed and would come around more in the evening when we were seated in the living room. Trish's home and garden are so very comfortable, clean, and lovely. Her residence is in a friendly neighborhood which is located near a busline providing access to sites too far to walk and the Maidenhead rail station. We were so happy for the opportunity to meet Trish and care for Bonnie, Cilla, and Mimi!
My sit for Poppy was lovely! Her apartment is very central and in a great area of Barcelona. Poppy was very communicative and provided super clear instructions (and even lots of recommendations for nearby food spots!). Salem is very sweet and she was wonderful company. Mine was a short sit, but a great experience.
I had a lovely stay in Balham. Pantalon and Silk are adorable, playful cats and were straightforward to care for. Florie-Anne was very welcoming, giving me lots of helpful information and was easy to contact when I had questions. I'd definitely recommend catsitting for them if you get the chance!
I had pleasure to stay at Sheila’s and Ian’s lovely house in gorgeous Edinburgh and take care of their furry boy Spencer. The house is beautiful, comfortable in very relax,green neighborhood with lots of cafes, small shops and walking distance (if you like to walk) to the center. Sheila and Ian are, warm, easy going and very kind. The communication was great. Spencer the king of the house is just adorable. He sleeps a lot, but also loves to cuddle and play. We spent some time together in the garden and he was running around, rolling over on the ground and hanging out with me on the bench. In the evening we watched movies together and in the morning he set on the chair next to me when i was having my breakfast. Cute cute cute… I had a lovely time. Thank you. I highly recommend to stay at their place and take care of Spencer.
Staying at Evan's was great, the location was perfect for hanging out in the city but it's easy to get to the mountains from here too. His animals were so wonderful, he's got the cuddliest cat I've ever taken care of too. It was neat for me to take care of ferrets since I've never done that before, but they were easy too! Evan was communicative throughout my entire stay, and very kind. I would highly recommend Evan as a host, his pets & his place to anyone looking to stay in Denver. 🥰
Sushi was a pleasure to take care of! We enjoyed cuddles with her in the mornings and in the afternoons. During the day we went to explore London which is really easy as the house is only a few tube stations away from the city centre. Emily and Tom gave us a very warm welcome to their lovely house and explained everything in detail. Communication before and during the sit was great – Emily answered all my questions promptly. Shops and pubs are only a couple of minutes walk away. The house is located in a quiet neighbourhood. It was a great experience and I would definitely like to go back and take care of lovely Sushi again!
