Joseph took care of our cat and house-sat for us for 2 weeks. In advance of our trip, we were able to do both a virtual and in-person meet and greet to ensure everyone felt comfortable and do a walk through of the house, which we really appreciated.While we were away, Joseph responded quickly to texts/any questions we sent and provided photo and text updates every 1-2 days. Upon our return, our cat seemed happy. Unfortunately, the day of our return, Joseph accidentally locked himself out of our house. He communicated with us and we were able to provide him access to a backup key. However, when we returned home about an hour and a quarter later, we were surprised to find that he was still there (he was supposed to have left much earlier in the day before we arrived home, and we knew he was running a little behind because of the lockout, but he didn’t tell us he would still be there when we walked in). He texted us that the house was clean and ready for us, but unfortunately the house was not clean and the cat litter boxes were quite smelly and appeared not to have been changed or scooped in many days. While we realize that getting locked out of the house created some delays in getting packed and tidying the house, we were upset to find the kitty litter in that state and for the clear disorganization, at least in the final day. We provided this feedback directly to Joseph and hope that this was a one-time experience. However, we would urge clear communication around any expectations for cleaning, communication, and care.

Nancy
Taking care of Nancy’s beautiful summer garden and her gorgeous home on a quiet wooded street was just about the perfect Coastal Maine housesit a mom of two could ask for. Her home was immaculate when we arrived and had all the luxuries of home. Our beds and sleeping arrangements were very comfortable and the kids loved the toys and play spaces. Nancy generously offered us their car to use their Fort Foster pass and we had a blast at the local beaches almost every day. Nancy was communicative and flexible in our arrangements before, during, after, and it made me feel appreciated and at ease in taking care of her home and garden. I highly recommend this sit, which was perfect for our little family of three.

Jean-Philippe
The sweetest people ever! They were really really nice, provided me with everything I could need for me or the pets, explained it perfectly and helped me to get to their place. Plus their home is a beautiful house surrounded by nature, I had my own room, it was super clean and cosy!
Sakura and Ponyo are a great company, full of love and really a low maintenance 😅
Looking forward to coming back there! Thank you!

Lynne
I loved looking after Teddy, Maggie and Flo, they are such sweethearts! They followed me everywhere to cuddle or play. I miss them a lot already! Lynne and John are wonderful hosts, very kind and thoughtful. Their house has a real town/countryside location and the garden is so pleasant. There are plenty of fields just opposite the house. There is a footpath along the river to go to the city centre. It takes only 30 minutes to go to the cathedral by foot. So thank you again, Lynne and John,  I've really enjoyed my stay!

Lin
Ryley was an absolute pleasure to look after, a very well trained and adorable creature. She lives in a dream location, a quiet lush oasis close to the city. Lin was very accommodating for my schedule and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend this sit, you will fall in love with Ryley!

I loved sitting for Frisbee, he is the sweetest boy every 💙.  James and his family were so nice and welcoming. Their home is in a great location with a small park, supermarkets and Phoenix Park close by.
